<span style="font-weight:400">“We’re getting close to the ind.” Hearing this, everyone looked forward; they saw a small shadow looming a few miles ahead. As the boat continued to go forward, that was when the shadow continued to grow.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you sure that’s an ind? It’s too big to be one!” Keith gasped. That was not your ordinary ind; that looked muchrger than what he had expected.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s quite the ce you guys live on.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you,” Long Lihua smiled. The boat slowly got to the docks, and they were all let off.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s go to the elders first before we do anything.” They need to speak with them and proceed with the situation. Everyone headed into the vige. But when they did, Keith realized it. It was a traditional Chinese and Japanese mix of housing together. It was a pretty nice pairing together.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Priestess.” The vigers quickly bowed as they spotted Long Lihua and Ayaka. The two didn’t say much but nodded. Keith tilted his head. As expected.
<span style="font-weight:400">Those two were definitely high in ranking when considering what Long Qiqiang had said to him. As they continued, Keith noticed an oddity with all of this. The buildings had two stories. Bridges were also built on those floors to make it easy to move across. Each building was built with efficiency and fun as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not only that, but some things were the same: stares. What was the same was how the vigers stared at Keith. Clearly, they were hostile towards him. And it was something that he had to ept.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Woah, are those floating items?” Keith blinked. What he noticed was how there was a giant floating statue.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“We have to head up here to the elders,” Long Qiqiang pointed upwards. There were a bunch of stairs, and it was apparent how they had to go up to get there.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s do this!” Keith waved his hand, and the group headed forward! It was only a few minutes before,
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn sighed deeply, “Why are there so many stairs?” Her body swayed back and forth.
<span style="font-weight:400">“At least yousted for some time.” Carolyn getting exhausted was something he knew would happen. The question was when.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s because I trained.” Initially, the girl was a mage. But she had been training using a sword as well. But it was not enoughpared to the others. Her stamina still needed improvement.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Come on,” Keith then bent down.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Heh,” Carolyn didn’t hesitate to hug the boy by the neck. That was when the group started to head up again.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s go! Go faster!” Carolyn pumped her fist.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” You are so lucky that I know you. This man would have thrown her off the cliff if he didn’t. The group continued to move forward before they arrived at the top. There was a giant temple before them. Keith ced Carolyn down, and the group bowed their heads as they entered.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was when the group then arrived before 6 people standing on top of altars.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Elders, we have brought them here.” Long Lihua bowed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone was silent for a moment. But that was when one person had spoken,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you kidding me?”
<span style="font-weight:400">EH? His voice was dark and annoyed. The person had pitch-dark hair and blue eyes as he stared down. And it wasn’t one. There was also the other 5 as well. It seemed that all of them were surprised to see a human.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Qiqiang, didn’t I tell you to bring back the ancestor? Why did you bring back a child?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Elder Huizhong, the ancestor, said he would solve our problems in his stead.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“We told you to bring the ancestor! This matter takes precedent!” Long Huizhong’s face turned red, “How can a child do something like that! Even if he had the ancestor’s guarantee! This matter isn’t something he could do.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Indeed,” The other elders agreed with what he said. But that was when Keith scoffed, “Oh, please. If you want Cadmus toe, then go ask him yourself.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Long Lihua and the rest turned to the boy, who had a dark expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith,” Carolyn was worried. That look. He was about to go into one of his anger rants.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“How dare you!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“How dare I? How dare you? If you’re going to ask for help, then do it yourself. Clearly, you guys don’t give a damn if you decide to stay here.” That didn’t sit well with Keith. They had asked Long Lihua and Ayaka to go and get Cadmus. But that seemed more like they were asking grunts to do their work.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“!” The entire pressure of the room changed instantly! A suffocating feeling had enveloped everyone. It was like the whole room was being pushed down by a boulder. However, Keith pushed back!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What? I’m only trying to tell the truth. So you can shove- Mghhh!” Before Keith could unleash his fury, Ayaka and Long Lihua quickly moved their hands and grasped his mouth.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Elder, please calm down. We’re all tired froming from such arge trip,” Long Qiqiang quickly spoke up. He needed to say something, or Keith would explode on them again.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You can bring them out,” Another dragon elder smiled, “Please bring them to a ce to rest.”
