Chapter 689 Gemini Test
Chapter 689 Gemini Test
?
"Will your Warchief go there?" asked King Leon solemnly.
Under the glare of King Leon, the beastman group couldn't help suddenly receiving pressure. Previously, King Leon controlled his aura and momentum as little as possible to not scare his guess.
Now, he no longer holds it back and shows his demeanor like when he faces two-faced nobles. Under this pressure, all the beastman couldn't help but tremble in fear as if being stared at by a predator, except for the black panther beastman.
Seeing his subordinate reaction, the black panther beastman couldn't help but shake his head. He knows he can no longer hide their War chief's whereabouts.
As one of the close confidants of Warchief Might, the black panther Beastman knows how troublesome seventh-grade aura is to others, especially to beastman.
Beastman has a habit of following their instinct. This may play a significant role when fighting but is also a huge setback when encountering legendary existence like seventh grade.
If King Leon tells them to lie down like domesticated animals, they may be unable to resist it and do it without thinking. This is also why Black Panther Beastman is sent to meet King Leon today. He is one of the rare beastman not affected by seventh grade's aura.
"Hoo… You could withstand it. Come to think of it, we have already met before. You were the one that accompanied Warchief Might at Roundel some time ago, right?" said King Leon.
"Y-Yes. I was surprised that King Leon remembered me. My name is Fimas Wada." replied the black panther beastman in embarrassment, as his image was not good then.
Although Fimas is strong, he is not good when holding back his dizziness from long-distance teleportation. Hence, he constantly pukes after being teleported.
"Wada?! Interesting… So, will you tell me about your Warchief now?" asked King Leon.
"*Sigh* We don't have any choice, don't we. Well, it's not like I know his exact whereabouts either. Yes, he will be there. Before coming here, we received news that Warchief Might suddenly gone while giving a message of going to the Undermine Council." said the Fimas.
"As for how or when no one knows about it." added Fimas truthfully.
The Beastman may have fierce loyalty when it comes to their kin. However, Fimas also knows this little information is nothing. Over the years, Warchief Might never hide his whereabouts. In fact, he even always reveals his location to attract people to come and fight him.
As for the Savan Kingdom getting invaded while Warchief Might is gone, Fimas also does not worry about it. Over the years, Warchief Might rarely left Morvo Wasteland and never did his job as Warchief. Basically, their Warchief is leaving them to fend off all the invaders on their own.
Hearing Fimas' reply, King Leon frowned momentarily before shaking his head and releasing a deep sigh.
"That madman seems to not care about life. Well, considering his long stay at Morvo Wasteland, I doubt his muscle-head brain works properly." muttered King Leon, but everyone still could hear him mocking Warchief Might.
Fimas didn't reply but frowned at such a reaction. It is not that he finds King Leon's word offensive. He already gets used to other people saying his Warchief is dumb or muscle-head, as it is true.
Fimas also noticed that King Leon somehow could guess what his Warchief wanted to do and know his current whereabouts.
"Alright, send this to Baron Victory and you are dismissed for now." said King Leon while giving another series of numbers to Fimas.
The beastman group didn't reply to King Leon's order and left the room as soon as possible. When they leave the room, some employees guide them to a nearby room to rest. They know King Leon and Baron Victory may still need their communication service.
Fimas looks at the secret code one last time before giving up on finding out about it. He knows this is not his specialty and leaves it for the others. *Giggle* At this moment, Fimas suddenly hear a childish giggling sound from behind him.
The voice is soft, like a whisper, but clear as if someone speaks directly to his ear. His body immediately turns around as all his short furry hair stands. Fimas feels a deep fear from the soft giggling sound.
"Squad Leader, what's wrong?" asked the nearby beastman in warry.
Fimas sees the other beastman and seems to not hear the soft childish sound. He even finds the nearby guards and the staff looking at him weirdly.
'Is it only my imagination?! But, the sound is so clear.' thought Fimas, shaking his head.
"N-Nothing. I am just too tired after a long-distance journey." said Fimas.
"Alright, then please this way." said the butler as he guided the beastman group.
Unbeknownst to everyone, small twin girls peeked at Fimas with their signature creepy smiles. They have found another good toy. Just as they want to grab and play with the new toy, a red-haired woman enters King Leon's office without any obstruction.
"I hear the beastman sends an envoy team. What did they want?" asked Extalia to the point.
"They are trying to mend our relationship." said King Leon without hiding anything.
"What did they want this time?" asked Extalia sternly.
"They didn't want anything. Just help us though it is unnecessary but certainly help." King Leon said without revealing Angus and Jayna's current situation.
"Although Beastman is strong, crafting and production is not their specialty. They still need special products from other kingdoms like us who sold Miasma Antidote."
"Like us who need their unique ability, they also need us. So, it is a little ridiculous to ignore each other because of their mad Warchief." said King Leon trying to divert the topic.
"Tch… Fine. Just tell me when they are asking for something. I will definitely extort them to bleed for the last incident." said Extalia.
"Sure." said King Leon.
At this moment, they notice someone spying on them from nearby and find two small head girls peeking at them intently from the corner of the desk.
"Gemis, Gemin, There you are. Did you already finish playing with the snow?" asked Extalia with a warm smile.
The twin star spirit didn't reply and revealed themself before looking at Extalia with their signature creepy smile.
"Will you play with us?" asked twin Gemini simultaneously.
Before Extalia could reply, she suddenly felt a strong eerie and dread aura coming from the twin girl. This is the first time Extalia felt this and she couldn't help but have a cold sweat.
"That's enough!!" roared King Leon nearby, covering Extalia with his gentle aura.
The twin star spirit didn't reply and looked back at King Leon.
"We are bored!!" replied Twin Gemini simultaneously.
King Leon could only release a sigh before appearing in front of the twin girl and patting their little head.
"Please, be patient. She is not ready yet." said King Leon, showing his rarely smiling face.
"Alright." said Gemini before leaving the room in a hurry.
"Leon…" said Extalia while still in shock.
"Hush… Sit down first." said King Leon while helping Extalia sit down his trembling body.
After a while, "W-What just happened?" asked Extalia.
"Hmm… I guess they are interested in you and want your allegiance." said King Leon.
"Allegiance?" asked Extalia.
"You should know that Gemini is a star spirit, right?" said King Leon.
"Yeah. From what you said, you find them to read our kingdom Fate." said Extalia.
"Yes. But that's not all. Before meeting with Star Spirit, you need to pass their test. Some tests are impossible for everyone but very easy for particular people. The test content will differ according to the star spirit that guards at that time."
Fortunately, we could still predict which star spirit would take guard according to the month. Gemini is supposed to guard the sixth month, which is why I only attacked the Udrary kingdom at that time." said King Leon.
"From all the tests, the Gemini test could be the simplest and the hardest. All you need to do is to accompany them playing hide and seek. But, it is more like trying to catch them for at least six years." said King Leon while remembering his experience.
"Six years?! But, you don't even spend a single day bringing them." said Extalia.
"Yes. For me and my body, it is as if not even a second passed by. But, in my mind, I feel like trying to catch them for six years. Moreover, they will release the same aura as before when you are trying to catch them along with their mischievous prank." said King Leon.
"T-That's… How could you survive from it?!" said Extalia.
"Well, lucky for me. I always train my mind because of [Possession] heritage. Therefore, their aura is only slightly creepy to me. *Sigh* Lia, listen. I don't want to tell you this as it will only make you know the difference between you and seventh grade."
"We are not called a legendary existence for nothing. But I also hope you can reach this level and stand by my side. I love you no matter what you are, Lia." said King Leon gently.
Hearing this, Extalia shows her rare blushing side while hugging her beloved king. Her man may be stupid and stubborn. But she also knows he will show his gentle and supportive side when she truly needs it.
