Chapter 595 A Masked Guest By The Winds
"You're really meticulous for a slave market, I expected this investigation level from the guards, not here." Arad looked at the handler.
"We're under harsher eyes from His Highness King Baltos than the nobles ruling cities." The handler replied.
"And," The woman approached from the back, "Blowing a kingdom of vampires is bound to stir the powers of the world. It's not for a human to say to a dragon, but be careful."This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★
"The bigger I am, the more attention I'm going to draw." Arad replied, "And it isn't the people's attention that's dangerous."
"You're right," A masked kid said, walking through the front door, a long spear hanging on his back.
Arad froze for a second, "This voice," He turned, "I've seen you before, on our way to the elvish kingdom."
"You know him?" Aella looked at Arad.
"The wind devil, the fourth-ranked," Arad looked at him.
"I'm the third, not that it matters. We aren't ranked by strength but with achievements." The wind devil replied, looking at Aella and the handler.
"I'm Chris, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you," The handler bowed, "What brought you to our establishment?"
"The white tiger Lora, she's supposed to be at sale here." The wind devil asked.
"She indeed is," He looked at him, "But it's rare for someone to ask by name."
The wind devil pulled a necklace made of fangs and showed it to him. "The sign of her tribe. Her parents want to buy her freedom, and I'm just the delivery man."
"I'll bring her at once if she confirms the necklace is genuine, well proceed with a contract that dissolves with her parent's signature." The handler bowed to the wind devil and then to Arad, "Please excuse me for a moment," He then rushed to the back.
"Boy! How are you doing?" Zephyr popped out of Aella's hair and looked at the wind devil with a smile, "You didn't grow a finger."
"Mistress Zephyr, it's been a while," He kneeled, "How have you been,"
"You know him as well?" Aella looked at her.
"No one can steal my power..." Arad stopped, "In the future, give me a week. For now, they could," He didn't learn encryption yet.
"I'm not talking about stealing your powers. It's about who gets to keep you as a weapon living in their kingdom. Offers and threats would start coming toward you soon."
"Let them come," Arad smiled, "I'll just send them back,"
"You would expect the human kingdom or the elves to win," The wind devil looked at Arad, "But, it seems that the free wilds of Beasts' Savanna are the ones taking the lead. A powerful force of nature should be ruled by nature. That's their argument."
"How do you know?" Arad looked at him.
"Unlike you, I have a lot of contacts," The wind devil smiled, "And the meeting happened right after you blew the vampires."
"They're fast."
"And they want to relocate you to the mountainous region of the beasts' savanna to live." The wind devil looked at Arad, "They are treating you like a giant monster that should be given a piece of nature and left alone."
"I'm not moving," Arad sighed.
"To them, you're a wild animal that should return to nature. A red dragon would burn one city after the other. Take hours or days to finish the deed. Yet you dropped a spell, blasting the whole thing at once." Chris stood as he sensed the handler approaching, "Give the dragon enough food and gold, and he'll sleep for centuries on his pile of treasure. For rulers that only live about a century, that's good enough to rid them of the responsibility and the headache of dealing with you."
"They just want to push it to the next generation," Aella mumbled.
"The lion king rules the wilds. The throne is handed by battle, so it's certain he'll one day die fighting for his throne."
Chris nodded, "That's my guess as well. He just doesn't want to deal with a kingdom-blasting dragon,"
"It's kinda sad," Aella looked at Arad.
"Humph," Chirs snorted, "They fell of grace when Maharaja left to her throne in the hells."
Arad blinked. It's Agnar's warlock patron.
"The black Jaguar?"
"Yes, the eater of the gods. Queen of the Rakshasa. Even in the hell, she still stands at the top of the food chain."
"Sounds strong," Arad smiled.
