Chapter 1192 Who is the young master?  

As the entire elven clan prepared to act, Luna finally couldn't bear it any longer and snapped to turn her head towards them in annoyance. She glared at them with a fury they hadn't seen before.

"IMBECILES!" She growled. "SCRAM!" The next instant a massive blast of fire erupted from her mouth that almost engulfed the entire army. Even Liam was startled for a moment. Not only that but the fire was blue in color and he could feel some sort of familiarity with it.

"Soul fire?" He murmured as he watched the elves scurry around in awe and terror. The intensity of the fire was not enough to harm them but it was good enough to scare them senseless.

What the hell was happening here? Liam scratched his head. "Cultists" From the distance Eldrin mouthed to him, signaling how they could be potentially crazy using his finger to draw circles in the air. It looked like the sign language for crazy was universal. Liam let out a small sigh.

Just a few feet away from him the bright glow was still shining, beckoning him towards the guardian's blessing.

Liam wanted to take action but he hesitated for a moment. He did not think that the world tree of this world was a being that encouraged senseless violence, despite this whole "blessing" event. Perhaps he was also in a good mood so he decided to let these elves be.

Besides, he did not want to get entangled in anything right now that he was just one step away from claiming this blessing or whatever it was. They have also helped Luna to which he was grateful, no matter how disillusioned they were.

Considering these things, he simply shook his head. "Luna. Let's go and meet this guardian. Let them be." Since Liam had spoken, the fox snorted coldly and immediately stopped. She then turned to look at the bright glow too, her eyes becoming curious. She silently followed Liam as the two of them walked inside the barrier.

Seeing that things were finally back on track, Eldrin heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know what exactly was happening but he was happy that his original plan had somehow worked.

"Ah. Right." He quickly hurried over to enter the barrier too but unfortunately, the second he took a step inside, he was pushed out, falling on his ass.

"Damn it." He got up with a grumble. He gritted his teeth and looked at the glow but clearly, there was no way to head inside. "Shit!" He then remembered something vital. The crazy cultists! They were all now free to deal with him as they saw fit.

Eldrin gulped as he turned to the side. To his surprise, the elves did not look like they were planning to attack him anytime soon. One of them even walked towards him with a friendly smile.

"Greetings friend." The tall and stern looking elf gave a polite bow with a friendly smile that only looked creepy. Eldrin felt his inner alarm bells ring loudly. "Hmmm?" He cautiously returned the polite gesture.

"Do you by any chance happen to know the esteemed young master?" The elf asked.

"Huh?" Eldrin was shocked. This was unexpected. Young master? "Do you mean that human being?" He again asked for confirmation.

The elf's face changed a little. "Yes, young master." He repeated, stressing his words as if he were asking Eldrin to show some respect.

Eldrin stopped himself from rolling his eyes. Just a few seconds before the bunch of idiots wanted to fight and now they had completely flipped sides.

"Yes. Yes. He is a close friend of mine. Almost like a brother in fact." He shrugged. His hands had already started itching to see if he could perhaps milk something valuable from these crazy weirdos. "Friend of yours? Can you tell me more about the young master?" The elf rubbed his chin and probed.

"Why? Why are you interested in him?"

"Well. Ha Ha. Our Queen seems to care for the young master and also… someone chosen by the guardian shouldn't be ordinary." There was a flicker of mysterious glint in the elf's eye that Eldrin managed to catch.

"Mmmm. You are right. Her Highness is very close with my friend." Eldrin spoke, adjusting his posture. He stood like a lofty aloof warrior who knew a lot about the world and was tired of it.

"My friend is also a fated being just like her Highness. Let me tell you some things about my friend and who he is."

"He is the human being who single-handedly caused the downfall of the Stormshroud Empire, one of the eight big empires that have been ruling our world for years and years." He continued, playing along with the freaks.

He knew what story to tell to make the freaks completely fall head over heels in love with Liam.

And by the time he was done, the cultists did not know what hit them. The elf returned back to his group and the bunch of them stared at the glow in front of them with reverence in their faces. It was as if some sort of heavenly edict had dawned upon them.

On the side, Eldrin was only barely containing himself from rolling on the floor and laughing his guts out. These idiots! Well, it didn't matter. He just managed to secure some underlings for that human being.

That should please him? action

Hmmm? Eldrin paused for a moment before he looked at the bunch again. For a second, he was not sure but then he saw the bling on the group and decided to err on the side of profits.

He then looked longingly at the glowing barrier that did not let him pass through. When will his chance ever come?

He wondered what the human being was doing inside.

There was also that fox which did not look like an ordinary beast. Otherwise, these idiots would have never decided to worship the beast. How strong was that fox?

Will the guardian bless the fox too? Eldrin sighed, shaking his head helplessly. If only he could also go inside…
