“Are there no alternatives for those?” asked Battle Sage, Eren.
A yellow robe monk around mid forties with six dots on his forehead, and among the people here, he’s the only one who is a born noble, and because of that, he’s family has a really high standing in their kingdom that even their king would need to be respectful towards them even though his family is very low key, and that his parents and wife doesn’t even flaunt that their son or husband is a powerful Sage.
“No alternatives, we can only leave it to fate. Let’s just hope that Erva manages to breakthrough” Laura said.
“How about we ask Sage Lira for help?” Hiccup said as he looked around.
“That bitch? Ha! I doubt that damn Night Elf would lend us a hand. Their race had never interfered with our matters before and even during the war five hundred years ago, so I doubt she would do now, not unless those sea bastards provokes them!” Laura snorted with anger.
The others just shook their heads, as they could also understand her, it was because they are also holding a grudge against the Night Elves for not helping them back then.
Ralgur looked at every single one of them and said, “Then are we just gonna do nothing?”
Laura laughed, “Of course we should! Let’s instead focus our attention in looking for successors instead of worrying about Erva’s matters as we won’t be able to help him, and I already have a successor who would inherit my abilities, but I don’t know about you lot”
“Hmmp! I would already have if it wasn’t for someone stealing him away from me!” said the cloaked figure who haven’t said a thing from the start till now, and on the back of his cloak is the solar eclipse insignia, representing who he is.
“You still haven’t gotten over your loss, Marcus?” Laura laughed loudly as she’s really satisfied with Michael, especially his personality and tenacity.
“Hmmp! I already found a good seedling, maybe even better than him! Her name is Solitary Tempest!” Marcus said, his voice sounded very pleased.
“That Huntress? Aren’t you an assassin? Why would you want to take in a Huntress? It’s not like you have the teachings of a Herb Hunter” said Eren as he looked at him.
“What do you know, you damn old baldy? Just because someone uses a bow doesn’t mean they can’t become an Assassin! I even know how to use a bow, and my talents in regards to Bow Arts aren’t inferior to those Night Elves!” Marcus snorted.
Eren stood up from his seat with a dark look on his face and walked towards Marcus and said threateningly, “Old man, what did you just call me?”
Marcus took off his hood and looked up at him and said with a huge grin on his face, “Damn old baldy?”
Eren clenched his right fist while sparks of lightning started to wriggle around his hand.
“Ahh! F*ck you, you old goat!”
“Hmmp!”
Marcus snorted as easily caught Eren’s fist, then he suddenly turned into a blur and appeared behind Eren and wrapped his arms around Eren’s waist and executed a German Suplex.
“Dammit!” Eren cursed as he felt that he couldn’t get out of Marcus’ grip.
Boom!
“So much for being a Battle Sage” Marcus slowly stood up and dusted himself off.
“Dammit, you’ve grown stronger old bastard, but don’t think that you’ll be able to do that again!” Eren bitterly said while he slowly stood up.
“Enough!” Laura yelled at the two who was seriously about to start fighting for real.
“Stop acting like kids!”
“”Hmmp!””
Both men snorted at each other before they went back to their seats, while the other men just shook their heads as they’re already used to this two always bickering with each other.
“Back to our earlier topic, did you guys already have or already found your successors?” Laura said while looking at every single one of them.
“I already have my eyes onto someone” Dragon Master Hiccup said.
“Me too, I’m just observing his personality now. After all, I don’t want to pass my abilities to someone who’s selfish along with a nasty personality” said Ralgur.
“I already have someone” Eren also followed suit.
“Good, our only problem now is if Erva could successfully pass his calamity, and if he doesn’t, then it would be really bad as there’s no Dragon suitable to inherit his mantle as a Dragon Emperor” Laura said.
“Let’s just hope for the best, and in the off chance that something happens to him. Then we could only hope someone on our side reaches the Sage Realm within a year or else…there would be war” Hiccup said darkly.
“Alright, meeting adjourned! Let’s meet again next month, same day and same time” Laura said before she disappeared, while the others slowly disappeared one after the other.
Without Michael and the other players knowledge, a war is slowly brewing in the horizon.
A day later, Michael had successfully helped out in the Alchemist Shop and gained access on the second floor of the library.
Where Michael is currently sitting on a chair and waiting for Hedwig to arrive.
A few minutes later, Michael could hear someone walking towards his direction and he already knows that its probably Hedwig as they are the only people on the second floor right now, especially during the night.
Then Hedwig appeared in his sights, who quickly walked towards him while holding a thin book on her hands.
“Here, old and new details about the Blood Orchid are all listed here. Just leave the book on the table when you’re done and someone would take care of it” Hedwig said while smiling before she went back towards the first floor.
“Thanks!”
With a huge smile on his face, Michael looked at the book on his hands and slowly sat down, as he started to read the book.
