Chapter 484: Chapter 484: There is No Place for You Here
Leaving the office of the clan chief, Kai Bu smiled at Lotcar beside him,
“Who would have thought the Old Clan Chief really values you? Had you not been manipulated by that power, maybe you’d already have beco the clan chief.
But as I’ve said, I still can’t be sure if you’re under the influence of that power.
I absolutely won’t allow anyone dangerous to beco clan chief, gradually leading our clan into the Abyss.”
Lotcar closed his eyes slightly, unsure how to respond, feeling Kai Bu’s obsession with the position of clan chief.
Yet he didn’t understand why Kai Bu had beco so obsessively attached to it.
After thinking it over for a long while, Lotcar relaxed his shoulders,
“It’s surprising that you’d let et with the Old Clan Chief. That he continues to support my becoming the acting clan chief with absolutely no opposition.”
Kai Bu chuckled, spreading his arms, “Of course, the position of clan chief has always been held by an ability user. I’ve never refused capable people becoming the clan chief. Nor will I be as hidebound as the Old Clan Chief.”
“So you’ve already won the championship four tis, and this year is your last.”
“To be precise, it wasn’t consecutive, but if I win again, it would indeed be five wins. I’ve discussed with the chief to count the one you ran away from as well. Fleeing in the midst of battle is a disgrace to the Silver Teeth Clan.”
“In the past, I indeed saw it as a disgrace, but now it’s different. Whether to flee depends on the situation at the ti. Not all fleeing is fleeing in the midst of battle. It can also be called a tactical retreat.”
With that, Lotcar strode forward,
“I will inquire about what happened a few years ago and will prepare earnestly for the ritual combat.”
“I look forward to it,” Kai Bu narrowed his eyes, showing a disdainful smile, “However, maintaining your original form like this does not et the rules of the ritual combat. The festival clearly states, ‘On the night of the full moon, both opponents, from the form of the Beastn to their original, decide the winner.’ You cannot attend the ritual combat looking like this.”
“But I will still co, even if I can’t revert to my original form. I will return to witness the end.”
“Worthy of being Lotcar, my cousin. You truly have spirit. There’s just over a week left until our Full Moon Festival. Where do you plan to go during this ti? There’s really no place for you in this village anymore.”
“I have my plans.”
Saying this, Lotcar walked into the streets, following the roads he once knew well, lowering his head and thick-skinned, he asked about Kai Bu.
Watching Lotcar leave, a harsh look crossed Kai Bu’s face as he muttered to himself, “There’s one week until the Full Moon Festival. They should be acting soon, right? I hope not to see them at the festival.”
…
At the sa ti, Yuluo from the Silver Teeth Clan, who was in charge of guarding, heard so strange sounds.
This sound was not from the forest, but ca from underground and moved extrely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had left his location and was quickly heading towards the Silver Teeth Clan’s village.
Even with Yuluo’s speed, there was no way to keep up with them.
“From the ground? Moving at high speed?”
Yuluo could only think of one possibility,
“Why would they visit our village?”
…
Just as Yang Yu thought, even though Lotcar had sincerely bowed his head, inquiring about Kai Bu over the years, the villagers still turned their faces away at the sight of him, unwilling to speak even a half word to Lotcar.
And Yang Yu and the others, now like rare animals, wherever they went, sharp gazes followed them, but no one ca close, fearing that Yang Yu might bite them.
Investigating was almost impossible.
However, Lotcar still did not give up; he walked from house to house searching for sothing.
Suddenly.
Lotcar realized that the number of people in the entire village was significantly less than he had anticipated, especially among his good friends, not one of whom was to be found.
They were the ones most likely to still believe in Lotcar, willing to tell him everything that had happened, but they were all gone without a trace.
It was impossible that so many people would be out hunting at this ti…
Lotcar felt a bit strange and walked to the eaves of a forr friend’s house, where he heard the crying of children inside.
“Dad, why hasn’t he co back? It’s been so long. He promised to play with .”
“Don’t ask over and over, wait until the war is over, and your dad will be back.”
“When will the war end then?”
“It should be soon…”
“How soon is soon?”
“Soon ans soon.”
A silver-haired woman pushed open the door, saw Lotcar, imdiately looked down, avoiding Lotcar’s gaze. She poured the dirty water in her hands onto the flowers and then, like avoiding a plague, quickly shut the door, no longer making a sound.
Even though he found the woman’s reaction odd, by now, Lotcar could not forcefully pull her out to clarify things.
Sitting on Lotcar’s back, Yang Yu opened the conscription booklet Iyas had given him, glanced through it, and sighed as if knowing everything,
“Excluding the outsiders, truly a politician’s usual tactic.
Lotcar, don’t feel strange, that guy becoming the acting patriarch must have already shown his position to Wansheng Country.
Sending troops to assist is completely normal.
You belong to an extrely rare race, even if you agree to participate in the war, it would relatively ease persuading other races.”
Yang Yu flipped off Lotcar’s back and opened the last page of the conscription advertisent.
The last page showed a mixed portrait of various races, with the words “Defending the holand, everyone is responsible.”
What puzzled Yang Yu was why, in the corner of the last page of the conscription advertisent, there was a sowhat oversized Silver Teeth depicted. Initially, Yang Yu thought this Silver Teeth was Wansheng Empire’s military dog.
Now it seems that this depiction of the Silver Teeth, which was ant to be a giant wolf transford from the Silver Teeth Clan, was too abstract; besides the color, Yang Yu could not recognize it as such.
What surprised Yang Yu was that the last page of the conscription advertisent lacked Lamia, and surprisingly, elves were also absent.
Lotcar glanced at the conscription advertisent Yang Yu had given him and helplessly lanted,
“It’s a despicable tactic, no wonder he was so confidently declaring that there was no place left for here, shattering my last bit of hope.”
“What are you planning to do next? How about we find a place to plan our next move? With such tactics at play, continuing to ask will definitely lead nowhere, as we won’t get anything out of their mouths.”
“Hmm… that’s all we can do!”
Lotcar agreed with Yang Yu’s opinion, but just as he was about to move towards the forest, he heard a sound coming from underground.
All of a sudden, the ground beneath Lotcar cracked and collapsed instantaneously, and Lotcar reacted instantly, jumping away just as two creatures erged from the ground without any warning, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Within the smoke, there appeared a slender figure topped with an umbrella-like decoration, followed only then by another figure wrapped in vines.
