Chapter 294. The Healer Tribe IV

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 294. The Healer Tribe IV

“I came here to pray at some of the sacred sites, especially the most important one of the healer tribe,” I said casually to Elixar, keeping my tone neutral. I couldn’t exactly tell him my real reason—unlocking Solaris, the legendary beast, said to be bound in this place. For now, the beast was dormant, unnoticed.

Elixar raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. “Just to pray?” he repeated, his voice dripping with skepticism.

“Yes,” I replied, keeping my face calm and steady. The truth was, I needed him to open the chamber for me. He was the only one with the authority to access it, so I had to tread carefully. One wrong move, and he’d get suspicious.

“Why?” he asked, his confusion obvious. “Why the sudden interest in praying at our sacred places?”

I sighed internally, scrambling for a believable story. “During my hibernation, I had some vivid dreams,” I explained, choosing my words carefully. “My ancestors appeared and urged me to take this pilgrimage, to visit all the sacred sites I could.”

Elixar’s expression softened slightly, his skepticism giving way to a hint of admiration. “Huh, I see. That’s... noble. I’d be happy to help you honor your ancestors’ wishes.”

I nodded, seizing the opportunity. “Great. I’d like to go there as soon as possible.”

He hummed thoughtfully. “How about after we eat?” he suggested.

“Works for me,” I said with a nod. No point rushing and raising more questions.

The room was huge, with towering stone pillars stretching to the ceiling. At the far end stood a simple altar, exuding an aura of significance. At first glance, the space looked sparse, but the fact that only Elixar could open it spoke volumes. This was no ordinary room—it was sacred, a place for ancient rituals and deep reverence.

Elixar bowed his head in respect as we approached the altar. I mirrored the gesture, knowing the importance of blending in. The air here was different—heavy, almost electric, as if the room itself held centuries of untold secrets.

When we reached the altar, Elixar extended his glowing hand once more. This time, he waved it in the air, and a shimmering portal materialized. Its surface rippled like water, a gateway to something beyond this chamber.

He turned to me, his voice soft but steady. “Do you want me to go with you?”

I hesitated for a moment, then shook my head. “I’d like to pray alone,” I said. “I won’t take long.” Truthfully, this was something I needed to do on my own. Among the legendary beasts, Solaris was known to be the most gentle and understanding. I was confident I could make contract quickly.

Elixar nodded, his trust evident in his expression. “All right,” he said, stepping back.
