Dragon King's Harem Chapter 294. The Healer Tribe IV
“I ca here to pray at so 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 . 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 so vivid dreams,” I explained, choosing my words carefully. “My ancestors appeared and urged 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 humd thoughtfully. “How about after we eat?” he suggested.
“Works for ,” I said with a nod. No point rushing and raising more questions.
The feast was more like a spa day than a party—calm, soothing, and peaceful. The musicians filled the hall with soft, relaxing lodies, and the food was unlike anything I’d ever had. Each dish was a piece of art, crafted with delicate herbs and spices that danced on the tongue. It wasn’t about extravagance like the dragon kingdom feasts but about harmony and well-being.
I glanced around and saw the healer tribe—mostly elves—eating quietly, their faces showing contentnt. This wasn’t just a al; it was a mont for them to reconnect with their traditions and each other.
Evelina, sitting beside , seed completely at ease, her eyes glowing with happiness. She chatted with her family, her laughter light and genuine. It was clear this was where she felt most at ho.
The feast wrapped up before I knew it. Evelina approached with a soft smile and asked if she could spend more ti with her mother. Her expression was so warm I didn’t even need to hear the words to understand.
“Of course,” I said, nodding.
With that settled, Elixar led to the part of the palace where their most sacred chamber was located. Eir followed quietly. His presence was comforting.
When we reached the door, I stopped in my tracks. It was massive, easily the largest door I’d seen in the palace. Intricate carvings of the healer tribe’s emblem decorated the pristine white wood. It was breathtaking, but it also scread, “Important things happen here.”
Elixar turned to , his voice low and reverent. “Once we go inside, keep quiet. Don’t speak too loudly,” he warned.
I nodded silently, following his lead.
He raised his hand, and a soft white glow enveloped his palm. As he pushed the door open, the carvings seed to shimr, coming to life under the radiant light. The door moved slowly, revealing a vast chamber inside.
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 volus. 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 ti, he waved it in the air, and a shimring portal materialized. Its surface rippled like water, a gateway to sothing beyond this chamber.
He turned to , his voice soft but steady. “Do you want to go with you?”
I hesitated for a mont, then shook my head. “I’d like to pray alone,” I said. “I won’t take long.” Truthfully, this was sothing 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.
