Chapter 699: The Enticing Offer [Bonus]
After the half-elves announced that there would be an open competition in a couple of months to select the five best candidates to enter the Fla Tower, many began preparing.
The Fla Tower is a place everyone would want to enter and cultivate fla art if they had the chance. However, for thousands of years, it has been a strict selection by the Lords and the King.
Of course, this ans that even if you have the talent but haven’t caught the eyes of the King or the Lords, you wouldn’t be allowed entry. Those selected are mostly the children of a Lord or their friends.
Most wanted to join, but because of the strict requirents, they couldn’t even have a chance to try their luck. However, this year, things are different.
The announcent of the open competition ignited the flas in all those who had given up. This year, they get to try and see if they are destined to enter the Fla Tower.
All half-elves, both in their kingdom and outside, upon hearing this announcent, returned to take part in the competition that will comnce in a few days.
Currently, inside Elarion, thousands of young half-elves are in line, registering for a chance to compete in the selection.
Inside the eting hall at the king’s palace, King Thalirion and a figure clad in black, with a hood covering their head, were eting.
“King Thalirion, I hope you are aware of what this ans… I hope I don’t have to spell it out to you,” the hooded figure said, sounding smug and arrogant.
This caused King Thalirion to clench his fist.
“Does this an if we don’t want to beco hunting dogs to the Hand, you and your kind will attack us… Is that what you are trying to tell ?” King Thalirion asked.
His aura started to rise, freezing the ground around his throne. The hooded figure remained unfazed despite the change in the hall.
“I am rely stating that should you or your people co across a human nad Kent Hanson, you can catch him or kill him… see him as a threat to your people because even if he caused no trouble here, he sure will bring one.”
King Thalirion didn’t say anything. He just continued to look at the hooded figure with a cold gaze. The atmosphere remained tense, but at least he hadn’t attacked.
“In return, the Hand will give you a reward, and trust , this reward, I am sure you will kill for it.” The hooded figure paused, letting the King anticipate what this reward was about.
“How does a guaranteed spot in the Supre Immortal Sect sound?” The mont the hooded figure said the words, the expression on King Thalirion’s face softened.
A guaranteed spot to send one of his own into the most prestigious sect in the world… If that is true, and in this case, he knew it was true, then wouldn’t that an his chance to earn more resources from the Supre Immortal Sect was guaranteed?
The King was imdiately won over, and it was plain as day since the frozen ground lted and a sense of calm replaced the tense atmosphere.
“Are you sure…” the King asked.
“Dead serious… Even if you couldn’t kill or capture him, reporting it to us through this communication crystal will win you more than you could ask for.
But the spot to enter the number one in the world sect is only guaranteed if you manage to capture Kent Madson or kill him should you et him before the others.”
“So I wasn’t the only one given this offer,” King Thalirion asked.
“Of course not, this offer was given to the Elves, Dragons, Demons, and so Beastskins. So, better take this seriously and don’t disappoint the Hand.” After saying that, the hooded figure vanished from the hall, leaving a communication crystal.
The King took the crystal and stored it away.
“Just who is this Kent Madson who seems to have pissed off an organization like the Hand?” King Thalirion muttered.
The offer given to him was one he needed, regardless of how uncultured it sounded. If killing one person would get him a chance to get one of his own into the most powerful sect in the world, then he would do it.
“I don’t have to make a rash decision; I need to learn more about him before deciding. Soone who can make an organization like the Hand ask not one but multiple races to kill is not soone simple.
I better tread carefully, else I will doom my people.” After saying that, he walked away. King Thalirion was not an idiot.
He knew who the Hand was and what they were capable of, so for such a terrifying organization to ask for his help — and the help of others — then the person they wanted dead or captured might be a fascinating figure worth learning about.
If only he knew the Kent he was just warned about was on his way to his kingdom.
—
Kent was only an hour out of the Elven Kingdom when he stopped. He wasn’t going to the Elven Kingdom, and since the Half-Elf Kingdom was located close to it, from the direction he would be appearing, he knew he would have to pass through the Elven Kingdom.
But he wanted to reach the Half-Elf Kingdom without having to go through the Elven Kingdom.
“Per this map, I can go through the Fla Valley, one of the most dangerous places in the world. Many co there to hunt fla beasts, and even the lucky ones get rare Fla Spirits after killing so Fla Beasts…
When one absorbs a Fla Spirit, it becos their soul fla. Those who already have a soul fla can feed the Fla Spirits to their soul fla, making it grow stronger.
“I have a little over three days to get to the Half-Elf Kingdom… Passing through Fla Valley won’t be bad at all. I might even have fun on my way to shatter people’s dreams and aspirations.”
A smile appeared on Kent’s face as he started moving in the direction of the Fla Valley. Now that he had arrived on the other side of the world, he must make the best out of it.
