“What?” Venn was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Not from Ysera’s otherworldly magnificence, however what she had simply stated. The brand new info revealed in Ysera’s sentence had despatched Venn’s coronary heart into nice turmoil.

“If the Oni clan is only a vassal clan to Lilith, then what number of different vassal clans had Lilith subjugated? Moreover, simply how low of significance is the Oni clan, if she paid so little heed to them that she despatched him, a whole newcomer to the guild to assist them? “

“Two? Ten? Tons of?”

Venn could not assist however shuddered on the considered it. And what’s extra, Lilith was simply one of many common members in Blood Serpents. Apart from her, there have been a minimum of ten others.

“It seems like Blood Serpent is way more mysterious than I initially thought.” Venn contemplated.

Nonetheless, with such an incredible alternative in entrance of him, he decides to grab it.

Altering his tone to a a lot distainful one, he spoke to Ysera as if he was above her. “Why? After all. Lilith despatched me right here to resolve your little drawback. Now, earlier than you clarify to me what is the common scenario right here, should not you invite me to a way more hospitable place the place we will talk about? Do you agree, princess of the Oni clan?”

***

Inside a big manor constructed with sturdy graphite and pure stone blocks as its basis, Venn was impatiently sitting on a wood chair constructed from costly oak wooden.

A day had handed for the reason that dredged battle with the altered goblin scout. After assembly the princess, he was given a horse to journey and was guided again to the capital metropolis of the Oni clan, Kersaru.

Fortunately for him, the horse was somewhat cooperative to him, thus he didn’t make a humiliation of himself amongst the Oni warriors. Efficiently tamed the unfamiliar horse, he was even in a position to achieve a passive talent.

[Horseback Riding Learned. (Level 10 Max Mastery) Riding a horse gives the user the ability to comfortably and confidently walk, trot, canter and gallop across all terrain.]

The lengthy driving journey enabled him to max out his talent mastery to stage 10, one thing he was delighted to see. Alongside the way in which, he even shared his saddle with the Oni twins and gave them a journey as properly.

After the remainder of the goblins have been killed by the reinforcement and had confirmed that there have been no extra survivors, the soldiers and the villagers went on with the return journey.

With no village to return to, the villagers adopted the princess’s convoy again to Kersaru, the place they’d discover correct shelter and meals after their encounter with tragedy.

Venn had really arrived within the metropolis in the course of the night time. Nevertheless, as a substitute of being led to debate with the princess, he was given a spot to relaxation and left alone after arriving.

It was not till the solar had reached midday did a messenger search for him and led him to the manor and by this time, Venn was extraordinarily anxious watching the remaining time left for him to finish the hunt counting down whereas he did completely nothing.

Simply as he was about to rise up from his seat, Princess Ysera lastly entered the manor besides this time, she was sporting a crimson gown that additional enhances the crimson shade of her giant eyes. Following behind her have been a number of Oni warriors as properly, every of them well-equipped with both a polearm or spear.

“Apologies for the delay, my lord. Many issues needed to be settled at my finish. With the fixed ransacking of the villages by the goblins lately, time is one thing I want I had extra.” Ysera earnestly apologised to Venn earlier than taking a seat straight subsequent to Venn.

Having Ysera so near Venn was tempting to him. Observing each spore of her pores and skin with solely inches between them, even Venn could not assist however mentally gulp on the sight. If it was actual life, there might by no means exist a actuality the place Venn would discuss to such a nation-ruining magnificence.

He might even scent the citrus aroma permeated from her physique.

Nevertheless, Venn’s good temper was spoiled when Ysera subsequently requested him to spar with one in all her underlings.

“What’s the which means of this? What are you implying?” Venn stated angrily. Being stage 11, there was no probability of him profitable in a spar in opposition to one of many Oni warriors. Extra importantly, there have to be a motive why the princess wished to check his power.

“Do not take this the incorrect manner. It is like this. One of many villagers had advised me that you just had bother preventing in opposition to a goblin. Though it is unlikely that he was telling the reality, it will be higher to be safer than sorry to confirm the declare for our clan, particularly after we are at warfare with the goblin.” The princess defined in earnest.

Venn’s eyebrows furrowed closely while he listened to Princess Ysera’s motive. He was in a dilemma on what to do.

To be truthful or lie? It was an essential resolution to make as his reply would have an effect on the hunt’s progress and he had no strategy to predict whether or not his alternative would lead to a constructive end result or a unfavorable end result.

Laying his eyes on Ysera who was pursing her lips awaiting his reply, he honestly answered. If he was in her place, he would need to hear the reality as properly.

“I may not be the strongest in preventing goblins, however I’m the appropriate man for the job. As confirmed by this sword given to me by Lilith. I used to be entrusted this case by her personally. Apart from, did not you guys fail in fixing the difficulty that you just requested for our assist?” Venn stated mockingly.

“Relaxation assured. I swore on my life that I’ll finish all of this in ten days. Now, are you able to inform me the precise scenario, so I can get to work? Venn regarded straight into Princess Ysera’s eyes and smiled, putting his index finger beneath her chin with nice confidence.
