BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1020
"You will need an escort. You are our representative since you do own this territory. The Continental Council is not something that should be skipped. You will be the face of us Daemos and the other races that are living in your territory." Ascalor stated but he is glad that Adrian will be the one to attend and not him.
"Your escort will be Onyx. He is just like you and has the budding qualifications of becoming an Arch Demon. We wanted to give you two guards, but the messenger stated to only bring one as the others can only bring one in the actual meeting venue." Bronx stated.
"They are just afraid that having three of our kind there will pose a threat. I am sure they would employ mages to be there so that they will interfere with the spatial movement magic. You will probably be in a place flooded with mana which would make spatial movement difficult." Koronn stated.
"I am not really concerned that much. What I am concerned about is what they want with us. They will not invite us to the council without reason. They must have an ulterior motive." Adrian stated what he is thinking.
"That might be true, but the Four Horsemen are such a big threat to them that they rather forget their fear of our race. To me, I could actually care less as less gods are trying to encroach the main world when the four awakened. They are akin to natural disasters, but they might kill all the inhabitants of the world if this keeps up." Ascalor stated.
"I shall be on my way then. Fortunately, it is being held in the central continent and the other representatives of the other continents have already arrived." Adrian stated as he came to fetch Onyx to go with him.
The Continental Council will be held in the Free City of Mercatores. It is the newly built city that the merchants of all four continents built on the ruins of the fallen imperial capital. Using the power of money, the Merchant Guild donated great sums to all denominations to purify and bless the area.
The great city of Mercatores got built in less than a year and it is the next most advance city in the central continent after the capital of the Kingdom of the Gnomes. Since Adrian already knew of the location, he and Onyx just instantly teleported there. Their sudden appearance in the middle of the city caused a commotion and guards even gathered to their location.
"Maybe we should waltz inside the gate next time." Onyx stated.
"My bad as this was the last coordinate of the fallen imperial capital. I just instinctive used this so that I will no longer try and search for new coordinates." Adrian replied.
Onyx is now different from before as he is strengthened to the core. Even Adrian could feel that Onyx\' body is exploding with great energy. He is also two meters tall now, but Adrian knew that he is currently polymorphed to hide his real height. Onyx now has the strength of Bronx when Adrian first met him which is quite an upgrade.
"Greetings! Champion of the Twin Gods and the Lord of Avalon, Equinox. I am the captain of the guards, Joanne. Please follow us to your quarters." A woman dressed in great equipment that could be said to have legendary tier stated.
"Thank you for meeting us and apologies for the sudden intrusion. I thought we are late for the meeting which is why we directly teleported here." Adrian stated.
"That is fine as we understand the quirks of your race. We are just glad that the people did not cause such a fuss as you are an honored guest here. Also, the meeting has yet to start as others have yet to arrive. It will start in an hour though so please rest in your quarters for a while." Joanne stated.
The Free City of Mercatores does not have a castle but it does have a large stadium complex filled with private quarters. This stadium complex is also the base of operations for the Merchant Guild with numerous rooms and their own hall for large meetings.
The people are obviously looking at Adrian and Onyx, but they pay it no heed. The ones that stare the most are mostly of the other races except for the elves. The elves have almost free access to Avalon because it is the base of the Church of the Twin Gods.
Just as Adrian thought that it would be smooth sailing, some people suddenly blocked his path. The group of people are all players as well and seem to be from a top guild that owns a large territory. They just blocked the path without an excuse which made Adrian squint his eyes as he does not know this guild or their insignia.
"Why do you dare block our path?! Move now or you will be moved." Joanne stated as she was instructed to be very courteous towards the demons.
"Do not worry as we only want to talk with Equinox there. We are acquaintances, you see." The one that looks like the leader of the group stated while hinting at Adrian to tell Joanne that he knows him.
"I do not know him nor have met him. Excuse us." Adrian stated which stunned the man as he is from one of the top guilds which is very famous but for all the wrong reasons.
