“Your Highness, you might have taken too much risk today.”

After Fei left, those two half-elf female archers walked out of the stone house and helped Akinfeev, who already looked fatigued, to stand up.

Then, one of them frowned and said, “If that person tells anyone else about what you said, the Execution Department of the Holy Church will be here before night.”

“No, he won’t do that.”

Akinfeev stood for too long, and he slowly sat down on a stone chair beside the stone house with the support of the two maids.

As the royal elf bloodline inside his body got stronger and stronger, his physical condition worsened. Some of the powerful ancient techniques of the royal elves already appeared in his mind, but the wood elements were still lacking in the current environment. He was already at the edge of the most northern mountains and forests which resembled the ancient primitive land, but he still couldn’t find a place that was suitable for him to live at and practice the ancient techniques. If this trend continued, he would die for sure.

His two maids, on the other hand, only had a little bit of elf bloodline inside of them, and the bloodline wasn’t of royal background. Therefore, they could only be counted as half-elves. They couldn’t inherit powerful ancient techniques from their bloodlines, but they also weren’t in the awkward situation that Akinfeev was in.

However, they still had some of the characteristics of elves such as the pointy ears, beautiful faces, graceful figures, great archery skills, and talent at wood-elemental magic spells.

“I’m curious, Your Highness. Why do you trust the King of Chambord this much? He is a human after all,” the other maid asked.

“Although you two are the most powerful warriors in our clan and have lived for more than 200 years, you have only interacted with our people and lived in seclusion at Green Dew Valley. You rarely made contact with humans and don’t understand them. There are good people and bad people, just like in our clan. Right now, there are less than 100 elves including half-elves on this continent, and we should be helping each other and trying to survive in this dark time. However, there are still some elves who don’t understand my father and try to fight for power……”

“In my eyes, the King of Chambord is different from others. We have stayed at Chambord for a year, and we all witnessed the changes that took place here. We are truly fortunate to be able to get a friend like the King of Chambord.”

“Right now, the prophecy made by the last elf altar is becoming true, and the wheel of fate is turning around for the second time. Soon, the darkest era of the continent will arrive, and those devils who disappeared already are coming back……”

“The chaos will lead to new orders. This is the chance for all the races and species who are living in the darkness underground. If we couldn’t capture this opportunity, then the real doom would be waiting for us!”

“The Goddess of Fate directed us to this ancient city in the north. Perhaps the key to our future lies within Alexander, this unique person. I have a strong feeling that as long as we stand by this man, we will see the light, doesn’t matter how dark it is right now!”

As soon as Akinfeev finished speaking, the first dash of golden sunlight came through and shone on his face.

The golden sunlight, the short blond hair, and the bright and earnest smile made this young man, who was suffering from his current ill condition, look mysterious and holy. It seemed like the power of fate and prophecy was circling him quietly.

After hearing what he said, the two female half-elves looked at each other and stopped talking.

“Cough…… This potion the King of Chambord gifted to me…… Is it effective?” Akinfeev opened the purple bottle and chugged it down without even smelling it. He instantly felt refreshed as a cool sensation swept through his body, and its effect was even better than the Fresh Green Dew that took him a year to gather and create.

After drinking this potion, green light dots flew out of the flowers and vines and danced around this blond young man.

Gradually, a faint redness could be seen on this man’s face.

……

“Hu…… That butcher finally left……”

After sensing that Fei’s majestic aura was moving away, the people inside the mysterious room in the basement of the church exhaled and relaxed; their hearts finally calmed down and stopped racing. Their backs were all cold since their sweats almost soaked their clothes.

They thought that they were fighters for justices and were never afraid of evil, and they thought that they were willing to sacrifice themselves when they were needed. They were proud of their strengths and statuses, and they felt superior compared with others. However, at this moment when danger was so close to them, they all realized that they were far from the word – brave.

This discovery made them angry and ashamed.

“It looks like he is not here for us, and he didn’t spot us yet,” Disov said coldly as vicious lights flashed in his eyes. He lightly caressed his right shoulder that was injured by Fei. Although it completely healed already, he felt some pain from there; perhaps it was just his mind playing tricks on him.

“Strange. Why did he suddenly come here to the church?” Manzo frowned and murmured.

“Perhaps he is here to see Zola. From our earlier investigation, we know that there is a secret relationship between the King of Chambord and Priest Zola.” The calmest and most powerful person out of the four, Kadibo, guessed, “We don’t have to be too worried about this; we can figure it out soon after our men collect the information. Right now, the King of Chambord is out in the open, and we are hiding in the shadow. It is much easier for us, and we can just wait for our master to get here to solve all this.”

“Hahahaha! Great! This damn King of Chambord is still living in his dream! He really thinks that he is invincible! Hehehehe, I can’t wait to see his face when our master leads us into his palace, kill his people, and kidnap his fiancée! I swear I will humiliate him hard to make up for this injury!” Disov said viciously.

“I don’t understand. Why do we have to wait for 13 days? What is master thinking?” Rakanic complained.

“Shut up! Do you want to die? How could we doubt our master’s decision? Master has more important things to handle, and he is only free after ten days. Also, this King of Chambord killed several of our people. Master would want to humiliate him when he is the proudest and happiest.”

“Don’t worry. The King of Chambord only has a little more than ten days to live. By then, his warrior energy will be destroyed, and you can do whatever you want to him!”

“Humph! I will carve the meat off his body and force him to eat it! Hehe……”

…….

After leaving the back garden, Fei did go and see Priest Zola.

This ‘bald rattlesnake’ had been acting properly in Chambord.

The renovation and reconstruction of Chambord required a lot of wealth, and most of it came from Fei combining lower-quality magic gems into top-tier ones using the Horadric Cube. Priest Zola was asked to sell the top-tier magic gems and get more low-quality magic gems, a commoner currency, through channels of the Holy Church. As a result, Priest Zola was able to profit quite a lot from it. Therefore, his life was way more comfortable, and he got money a lot easier. Without having to worry about too much and create schemes, he gained a lot of weight.

After Fei asked Priest Zola to get 10,000 low-quality magic gems, he wandered around the church with Zola and Luciano before leaving.

As these two top-officials in the local church saw Fei off, they looked at each other with shock on their faces as they wiped the cold sweats off their foreheads.

To be honest, they lived comfortably at Chambord this year, and they were able to get rich by not doing too much work. They liked where they were, and they didn’t want to stand on the other side of Chambord.

However, after they thought about the terrifying identities of the four people in the secret room in the basement of the church, they had to oppose the King of Chambord. Those people were way too powerful, and they promised a lot of treasures, leaving them no excuse to decline.

“I hope that their promises hold true, and they can really kill the King of Chambord easily…… Otherwise, no one could withstand the King of Chambord’s revenge.” Zola prayed in his mind.
