"Julian will not be coming with us, Senior."
Ery said when he saw the Eastern Sage arrive. To his surprise, the sage did not question his decision at all.
That said, the two of them quickly headed towards the Terra Kingdom's teleportation gate under the dark cover of night. Upon arrival, they were imdiately welcod by the guards; and since all the guards present knew the identities of the two, no one dared to question their reasons for leaving in the middle of the night.
After passing through two different teleportation gates, a man that the Sage knew led them to a secret teleportation gate which was not guarded by the Alliance and two more gates after, the two of them finally arrived at the destination where the eting would be held. As requested by the dark elves, the two sides would et at a neutral location.
The place that had been chosen by Ery as the eting place was a place Ery had been to before, and with the history and current situation of that place, the dark elves of the Darkmoon Clan agreed to it.
Said place was none other than Kulturmak planet, or rather what remained from it. Since the decimation of the planet by the elves, the place was now an abandoned planet inhabited only by wild creatures.
Even though it had basically beco a ghost planet, fortunately there was still one functional portal on the planet that was left behind after the native people used it to migrate. With that, the two of them could reach this planet. As for how the dark elves would arrive, Ery has absolutely no idea.
It was not an ideal place to make an exchange indeed. In fact, if Ery was being honest, he was actually willing to accept whatever location the elves chose if it allowed his plan to go through; he was currently at that level of madness. Hence, agreeing on a place that he was familiar with and close enough to was a fortune in and of itself.
As soon as they arrived, Ery couldn't help but feel his heart once again wallow in despair as he gazed upon a broken-down town that used to be the living place of the kobolds.
The abandoned dilapidated houses and the scorched ground, such a scene quickly added to the anger that had been building up the past few days, igniting the savage urge that resided within him.
"The place is indeed empty," Said the Eastern Sage.
With a simple use of Spirit Reading, Grand Magus Fuxi swept through the area and sensed there were no humans or elves within the 500 miles area, just monsters, and wild animals.
It was at this mont that Ery turned to this senior of his. Under the latter's gaze, he lowered his head in an apologetic manner and said, "Senior, I apologize in advance, but I must insist on a slight change of plans."
Saying those words, he imdiately proceeded to elaborate on what he was planning, and the Eastern Sage heaved a deep sigh of concern when he finished hearing it. He looked at his junior with a serious look as he said, "That's not a slight change at all.."
Ery appeared to know that as well but wanted to continue anyway. He was determined as he said, "Please, Senior, please help do this."
The Eastern Sage was silent as he thought deeply about this matter. The plan Ery just suggested is far more dangerous than the original plan, though it could also be far more effective; it was the kind he would imdiately reject.
But then, he was once again reminded of the second generation acolytes, whom he was extrely overprotective of. Thus with a glint of resolve in his eye, he ultimately decided to let Ery take the risk as he saw fit.
"Alright, but to make this work, you must do this…"
Now that he had decided to let Ery have his way, as a senior Fuxi naturally provided as much assistance as he could. Together, the two of them ca out with a more refined plan and quickly made the preparations for it.
After everything was completed, the grand magus carried out the first part of the plan which was to let Ery leave for the eting by himself.
"Thank you, Senior, for allowing to do this."
Ery took out his Orbiter, stepped on it, and quickly flew to his destination. The reason he didn't use the Spatial Gate or his flying spell like he usually did was because he intended to hide his strength.
The trees below beca a blur as Ery flew across hundreds of miles of forest. As he got closer to the exact eting location, he could start to feel that people seed to be watching him from the shadows in the distance.
As soon as there were only a few hundred ters left before he finally arrived, Ery took out the tal crest. He held the artifact holding the soul of the dark elf magus spirit inside tightly as his eyes fixed on the approaching destination.
"We are almost there," Ery said to the female elf.
A response soon ca.
