Monarch of Evernight - Chapter 926

Chapter 8-926: Volume 8 - Chapter 926: Chance Encounter

As Anwen appeared on a hilltop dozens of kilometers away, the surrounding scenery began to distort as countless black threads wove into a complicated web of energy . Four demonkin elders appeared at the same time, led by that old marquis from before . The man proceeded to watch Anwen with a cold, expressionless face .

Anwen raised both hands helplessly . “You don’t think this is dangerous, do you?”

“That girl is already very dangerous, yet you gave her our clan’s treasure and secret art . This isn’t too appropriate, is it?” one of the elders said indifferently .

Anwen replied, “It’s just an ordinary art and that ring can only be used once . Our clan has no shortage of such things . You don’t need to be so stingy, do you?”

“But Young Lord, that is still our clan’s treasure . Giving it to a lowly human…”

Anwen’s expression sank, and the radiant smile vanished completely . “Your duty is to protect me, not to give me lectures . There’s no need for you to criticize what I do!”

Anwen was furious . His gentle demeanor vanished as a strange aura of might erupted from his body . The demonkin found it difficult to even stand after they were invaded by this aura—all but the marquis had to step backward, some a couple of steps, others five or six .

The elders were shaken, recalling that Anwen’s status as the young lord wasn’t below the Demoness . How could he be ordinary? It was just that he had always been so gentle—cowardly even—adding greatly to the responsibility of his bodyguards . That eventually changed the attitude of those around him .

The old marquis took a step forward to unleash a similar aura, blocking Anwen’s energy and bringing some relief to the other demonkin around him . It was just that the old marquis’ aura was surging furiously with his hair flying about . Only then did he manage to block Anwen’s ancient and mysterious aura . The latter, however, was standing in a leisurely manner without any form of wasted effort, a clear indication of the winner in this confrontation .

The old marquis said slowly, “Young Lord, we had no choice since we have a duty to perform, please excuse us . Your bloodline is truly outstanding, you need only to mature without taking any risks, and you’ll definitely become a great monarch . Why would you keep putting yourself in danger?”

Anwen looked up at the sky in silence . “My ambitions do not stop at being a great monarch . ”

The marquis and the other elders fell quiet . The old marquis said after a while, “Since you have such intentions, it looks like we’ve been overthinking things . What’s the Young Lord’s plan now?”

Anwen shrugged . “I’ve finally arrived in the neutral lands . Of course, I have to roam around and experience the area . I’m going to stroll about randomly and see how well that girl is doing her job . Rest assured, there’s no danger and it’s just one day . I’ll meet you guys here at this time tomorrow . ”

The old marquis bowed . “Since that’s the case, we’ll wish you good luck regarding your business . We’ll wait here with the airship at this time tomorrow .

“But even an airship without special upgrades will attract hostility from the Throne of Blood . So, we hope you’ll be on time . ”

Anwen smiled . “Rest assured, when have I ever broken my promise?”

Nodding, the old marquis swung his hands around . Many layers of geometric lines came together to form a grid around the demonkin, and they all vanished on the spot .

Anwen’s smile became more evident after the entourage was gone . In the end, he laughed loudly at the sky and swaggered off in great delight .

In the blink of an eye, Anwen once again appeared in the nameless valley . The mercenaries there were minding their own business and guarding against one another . Anwen’s faintly discernible figure passed through the crowds, but none of them noticed him—they were all busy laughing, eating, and drinking .

The young demonkin arrived before that fire from before . The flames were still there, but the meat on it was gone and the girl was nowhere to be seen .

Anwen laughed proudly . If something so simple could stump him, he wouldn’t be worthy of being hailed as a young lord . Anwen pointed at his own forehead, gradually summoning two revolving crystals in the depths of his eyes . His line of sight shot through the crystalline body like a tangible object and spread out in all directions .

In just a moment, Anwen could sense the direction of that ring . It wasn’t hard for him to set up a tracking mechanism on the ring; the difficult part was how to hide the fact from the other party . This was the source of his satisfaction . Anwen actually didn’t install anything special on the ring and was merely using his innate talent to track its aura . He was the only one in the entire demonkin race who could perform such a mysterious secret art . Even the demoness wouldn’t have such a power .

Before long, Anwen had found the general direction of the ring . To his surprise, the girl was already dozens of kilometers away and running at incredible speeds . It would seem she had fled immediately after his departure, a sign that she wasn’t going to keep up her end of the bargain .

An intrigued Anwen smiled . His silhouette flickered and vanished from the valley as he chased after the girl’s direction . Her movement speed might be shocking in other peoples’ eyes, but it was merely acceptable for Anwen . He calculated that he would be able to catch up to her within half an hour .

The young demonkin flew across the land . His shadow faded in and out of view, taking him hundreds of meters with each flicker as he shot away like the wind .

The young girl seemed completely unaware of Anwen chasing after her . After running a hundred kilometers or so, she slowed down and began moving about in a small area . It was almost as though she was looking for something .

The smile on Anwen’s face became even more evident . He had a feeling that this young girl would give him a fair bit of surprise . It seemed he had made the right choice by coming to the neutral lands . Anwen didn’t think much about Qianye, just as an eagle wouldn’t give a sparrow a second glance . He didn’t believe, for one moment, that Qianye would stand shoulder to shoulder with him one day .

In a flash, his distance from the young girl had shrunk to ten kilometers . The girl had almost stopped moving at this point, and it was a mystery what she was doing . Anwen slowed down, and his figure turned faint as he slowly approached the girl’s location . He felt that things were getting more and more interesting . He had focused all of his attention on the girl, afraid that he would be discovered . This was the first time Anwen had met someone who didn’t know what sleeping with a man entailed, yet it so happened that she was cruel and ruthless when she was killing . It could be said that she was cold-blooded .

This was the first time he felt that peeping was so much fun .

Anwen was still a short distance from the girl at this moment . He didn’t pick any special path and merely approached at a slower speed . He never noticed that there was someone lying in a giant tree a thousand meters away . The tree itself was completely empty in his perception .

“Oh? What’s this guy sneaking about for?” Qianye suddenly opened his eyes and gazed at the empty wilderness .
