Chapter 113: Visitors From the Imperial City

The three of them stood in the backyard silently.

Alan was thinking about the settings of the ghouls that he had just mentioned, and whether they were the same race as the vampires in his previous life.

Wayne was considering whether he should go to the Imperial City again. After all, he had been deceived in the imperial city back then and sent to the Kyurem. If it weren’t for that time, he definitely wouldn’t have been seriously injured.

The wounds all over his body were almost all caused by that battle.

Yupanki looked at Wayne in silence. He was not sure what his attitude was, so he turned to look at Alan, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

“Uncle Wayne, what do you think?”

Alan saw that Yupanki was waiting anxiously, so he reminded him.

“Oh, oh, I was just thinking about the ghouls. I can have a visit, but what about Rock City? There are frequent disturbances at the border. I’m worried that once I leave, Roders will attack.” Wayne voiced his concern.

Alan knew that the situation at the border was not good, but he did not expect it to be so bad. Uncle Wayne must have found something when he went back to the neighboring city to investigate.

“Mr. Wayne, if you are willing to agree to the princess’s request for help, please rest assured and leave Rock City to me. I can promise you that Roders will not harm Rock City.”

Yupanki replied with certainty.

Wayne frowned slightly. Alan could see from his expression that he was filled with displeasure. He did not seem to want to go to the capital at all.

“Are you sure that it’s a ghoul?” Uncle Wayne questioned.

Yupanki’s expression did not change as he said, “I will never lie on this matter.”

Alan could not interrupt from the side. This matter ultimately depended on Wayne’s own choice.

Wayne looked troubled. He knew that Little Alan and Olivia were good friends, and this somewhat willful little princess seemed to like Alan. Now, she was the one with the most hope of taking control the entire Oreste Empire.

No matter what, he had to help them. It would be beneficial to Little Alan.

“Uncle, do you have something difficult to say?”

Alan saw his furrowed brows and knew that Wayne was actually very against the Imperial City.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wayne, who shook his head at him.

“Then…”

“There’s nothing I can’t say. I was tricked into challenging the Kyurem in the Imperial City, but I was stabbed in the back during the battle.”

Wayne knew what Alan wanted to ask. He didn’t wait for him to ask and directly told him the matter.

“No, I just want to ask, what’s going on with the ghouls?”

Alan smiled awkwardly and changed the topic. He had forgotten about Wayne’s injury.

“Well, it’s normal that Alan doesn’t understand the ghouls.”

When Yupanki heard the conversation between the two, his heart felt like it was scratched by a cat’s paw. He really wanted to know what happened to Wayne back then. It seemed that his injury back then was not a simple matter.

After all, how could the continent’s most talented mage, the grand knight, be so brainless.

But now was obviously not the time to discuss this matter. Princess Olivia was still waiting for backup to save Stanton.

“The ghouls are also one of the eight great races of the continent, but those guys are like rats in a sewer. They are completely shady fellows.” Yupanki explained disdainfully.

Seeing that Alan’s expression was still very puzzled, Wayne further explained.

“The ghouls are an artificial race. Those guys are the products of angels. Their reproductive ability is extremely strong. They have always been hidden in the darkness of the continent.”

“These guys cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time. The sunlight will cause harm to them. The darker the place, the more suitable it is for them to live.”

When Alan heard this, he said in puzzlement, “Then they are the most suitable to live in the Abyss. Why do they still want to live on the continent?”

Wayne shook his head and smiled at the youth’s naivety. He did not explain and immediately started talking about the ghouls.

“This race is very special. They are like poisonous snakes. There is a poison sac in their mouth that is released through two long canines. The most common type of poison is neurotoxins, but there are also some special ghouls among them. The toxins they carry have the ability of knockout drugs and many other abilities, so they usually like to use their own bites to kill people.”

After listening to Wayne’s speech, Alan gained some understanding and a new understanding of ghouls.

It was like the vampire from his previous life, except that ghoul could use poison and magic.

To be able to stun Stanton in an instant, it was highly likely that he was a ghoul with special abilities.

When Alan heard that ghouls were so dangerous, he thought of Olivia’s current situation and felt anxious. In addition to Stanton being captured, the only person who could protect her was Cynthia.

Wayne sighed when he saw Alan’s anxious look.

“Sigh… I’ll go to the Imperial Capital for a trip, but I’ll only help you get rid of the ghouls. As for the remaining political matters, you guys should settle them yourselves.”

Alan looked at the helpless Wayne and was a little surprised. He looked like he didn’t want to go just now, but now he agreed!

“Little Alan, you don’t have to worry. Olivia will be fine. I promise you.”

Wayne patted his head and comforted him.

“Don’t worry. You only need to help deal with the ghouls. Her Highness will take care of the other matters. Don’t worry about Rock City. I will defend it to the death. I will not let anything happen to Alan.”

When Yupanki heard that Wayne had agreed to help the princess who was far away in the Imperial City, he immediately expressed to him that he would protect Alan well.

“Okay, I understand. I will set off tonight.”

Wayne nodded in agreement and indicated that he would set off tonight.

Alan wanted to say something but hesitated. He realized that the person who had made Wayne change his mind was not anyone else but himself.

That night, after the tavern closed, Wayne explained the situation to everyone. He asked everyone to help take care of Alan. He took a deep look at Abraham, and only when he nodded did he feel at ease.

In the entire Rock City, only Abraham was someone he could entrust to. After all, he was strong, and he cared about Alan. He was the only one who was most familiar with him.

After assuring Alan’s safety, Wayne directly set off for the Imperial City.

This time, he didn’t even bring Dorje with him. He set off alone.

Alan’s heart was somewhat stifled. How could he be taken care of by everyone like this.

In the direction of the Imperial Capital

The orcs of the angels had already sent their men to Rock City. They had agreed to the first prince’s and the third princess’s conditions.

The two people who had been hurrying along finally saw Rock City on the morning of Wayne’s departure.

“Hey, Birdman, how did things turn out like this?”

A strong man dressed in animal skin said to the feminine-looking man beside him.

“Idiot, try calling me Birdman again! I’ll kill you before I kill that human youth!”

The gentle-looking man’s tone was not gentle at all.

These two were Hewlett and Milton, who had come together. One was a genius of the orc race, and the other was an archangel of the angel race.

“How can you be so stingy? You’ve been trying to kill me all the way here. We’re allies now.”

Hewlett said casually as he stretched out a hand to wrap it around the shoulder of the man beside him. He was not worried about angering him again.

Milton, who was being held, could not break free from his control no matter how hard he tried.

Hewlett, who was as strong as an iron tower, and Milton, who was slender and well-proportioned, formed a strong visual contrast.
