Chapter 350 Reason That Turns Blind

"You cannot stop the inevitable Festus, you may try whatever you want to try but you will still fail," Vemore said.

"Why are you doing this, what did humans do to you?" Carl asked from where he was sitting.

"You want to know what humans did to us?" Vemore said with a burst of cackling laughter. "Well, they did nothing to us but the superior beings should rule the land, not feeble-minded humans."

"Feeble-minded?" Carl said.

"You won't get away with this," Festus grumbled as he looked at the Spirit with a furious look on his face.

"I already did, as long as your attacks are less effective against us," Vemore said. "Once again this land shall be filled with screaming and wailing."

"Shut up!" Festus said with anger as he hit his staff on the ground causing the evil spirit to quickly get sucked into it.

The light wizard was breathing quite heavily as he slowly sat back where he was sitting before.

"Can I open my eyes now?" Carl asked.

"Yes," Festus said with a sigh.

"Well, he didn't try to hide the fact that this was all his plan," Carl said after opening his eyes.

Festus didn't reply for a while as he kept staring at the prison bars thinking about the big mistake that he made.

"All these years and I didn't know there was another evil spirit out there, an evil spirit that I failed to capture," Festus said.

His voice was filled with deep anguish as he said that.

"But it wasn't exactly your fault, you tried your best, and looking on the positive side, you saved the world from those monsters," Carl said.

"Yeah and now there's one of those things out there, looking for a way to get his family out and put the world into a state of chaos again," Festus said.

"Yeah but that's not the reason to start feeling down, we'll definitely figure out a way around this," Carl said.

"How?" Festus asked, turning his gaze to him.

"Ugh…. I don't know but I know you'll come up with something." Carl said.

Festus didn't say anything as he slowly turned his gaze back to the bars.

"I thought so too." He said with a mumbling voice.

When Tania and Tauriel had revealed themselves as elves to Leo, they expected that kind of reaction from the few humans they met outside their kingdom.

The humans who thought elves were bad creatures and were very terrified by them and did anything to avoid them and the ones that thought they were bad and therefore deserved to die and would outright attack them.

They expected him to jump back surprised and ask Jude why he was calling elves his friends but none of those reactions came.

Well, the man had his reasons as he thought as a child that elves were very bad creatures that he should never think of mingling with but one day on his journey to Phoenix to purchase some materials that he needed, their carriage had broken down on the way.

There was no one in the area and they were totally stranded until two male elves had shown up.

They were terrified, him and the carriage driver but the elves didn't do anything to them and offered to help fix the carriage.

The carriage man was being too defensive and refused their help but Leo, although he was also being cautious, knew this could be their way of continuing their journey.

They agreed for the elves to help them fix the carriage but they made sure to stay away from them so that they wouldn't do anything to them.

They expected the elves to ask for some kind of payment after fixing the carriage but they didn't ask for anything and just continued their walk to wherever they were heading too.

Leo was stunned by what the elves had done, he expected the day to turn out worse but thanks to the elves he expected to make things worse in some way, things got better for them that day.

That was the day that he realized that elves weren't as bad as people said they were.

"Well, you guys were lucky you didn't meet the ones that have deep grudges against humans like our king," Tuchel said after Leo had finished telling them his experience.

"Tuchel," Tauriel said, hitting her brother on the shoulder to stop him from talking.

"What, he should know that elves like that really exist," Tuchel said.

"I know they do," Leo said. "But I'm just glad not all of them have the same mindset." He added looking at the elf twins.

"Humans are the same too," Tuchel said.

"So how is Asaka?" Leo asked, turning his gaze to Jude.

I would be lying if I said everything was okay." Jude said with a sigh.

"What happened? Was there an attack?" Leo asked.

"Well, there was supposed to be one until Ashburn found out a better way to get the king to give up the kingdom," Jude said.

"Give up the kingdom? Could you please explain with a little more detail?" Leo asked.

"I will but before that, can I talk to you about something, alone?" The young knight said slowly, turning his gaze to the three behind him.

"Okay," Leo said.

"I think I should go show you two where you will be staying," Bryan said, gesturing to Tauriel and Tuchel to follow him.

Jude waited until they had entered the hallway before he slowly sat down beside Leo on the couch.

"What do you want to talk about that you had to make them leave?" Leo asked.

"I heard from some of the people back at Asaka that my sister came to see you a few times before you two fell into the portal," Jude said.

"Yeah, she was actually the one that discovered the portal and told me about it," Leo said.

"Wait, she went into that forest alone?" Jude said with a stunned look on his face.

"Yeah," Leo said with a nod.

"Why?" Jude asked.

"She was looking for someone, her friend," Leo said.

"Why would she be looking for her friend in the forest?"

"I suppose you didn't hear about the boy that was accused of stealing and ran into the forest just as he was about to get burnt," Leo said.

"I heard about him and how he went missing too," Jude said. "Wait, did he call into the portal too?"

"Yeah," Leo said with a nod.

"He was the one Tania was looking for." Jude finally realized.

"Yeah," Leo said.

"But why would my sister associate herself with a thief?" Jude said as the look on his face had suddenly changed.

"Luis is not a thief, he was a good boy who was maltreated by his aunt," Leo said. "He was wrongfully accused."

"How do you know that?" Jude asked.

"Luis always came to help me out in the market, I was really close to him and knew he wouldn't do something like that, I would have been set up to be burnt together with him that night but he asked to let me go," Leo said.

"And then he ran away," Jude said as he wasn't convinced by what Leo had said.

"Luis didn't do anything wrong, if he did, your sister wouldn't go through all the trouble just to find him," Leo said.

Jude didn't reply for a while as he stared at the television in the room.

"Or maybe she did it for another reason that turns people blind to the obvious," Jude said.

"You mean love, of course, she loves him, she wouldn't go through all the trouble if she didn't," Leo said.

"But not in the way you think," Jude said.
