BXBX NOVEL Chapter 256 - Qadville City
After connecting Helena\'s spirit to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, Tiana left the area.
She was hiding her beautiful face behind a veil. Azaroth had given her a mask, but she was to use it in the Sinyalian Kingdom.
That mask was to prevent Jonas Rhodes from figuring out Tiana\'s true identity. However, in the Glerian Kingdom, this mask was unnecessary.
Behind the veil, Tiana\'s face appeared rather blurry. However, if someone looked at her face, the person would know that Tiana was a beautiful woman. She was concealing her lovely face beneath the veil imperfectly to avoid getting into any sort of trouble.
This was actually very normal in the Glerian Kingdom.
Beautiful women wore veils to conceal part of their beauty and avoid trouble. Only the women who had a disfigured or rather ugly face would wear a mask.
Many individuals in the Glerian Kingdom actually looked down on those women. This was the natural psychology of the people.
They would be more inclined to try and befriend a beautiful woman rather than an ugly woman. That was especially true regarding men.
Qadville was the city where this Eclipse Battleground\'s Tournament was going to be held.
More than 20 sects were participating in this tournament, including the small sects.
Tiana was going to represent the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect and form connections with these delegates from the other sects.
The top sects like the Red Crown Sect, the Origin Sect, the Black Lake Sect, and the Night Mountain Sect all had 5 Star Warriors as elders and a peak grade 5 Star Warrior as the sect leader.
\'It would be a bad idea to form connections with a top sect. I need to form connections with those of a similar rank at myself for now. Well, until the sect expands in size, that is. Once the sect has more disciples, I can take the risk,\' Tiana thought deeply.
The relations with the other sect would also determine the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect\'s standing in the future.
Only if it had a good standing could it affect the entire Glerian Kingdom.
It would take her nearly one whole week on her mount. Tiana\'s current mount was her Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.
In terms of age, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen was barely 2 months old or so. But she had advanced to 3 Star Rank in two short months. This rapid cultivation was due to the spiritual condensing array.
Moreover, Azaroth had created a special spot where these foxes could grow quickly. Among them, this Frozen Spirit Fox Queen possessed the best bloodline and thus gained the most.
The speed of this Frozen Spirit Fox Queen was quite quick as she swiftly ran on the icy ground.
If she continued to run at this speed, she would reach the plains after 3 days.
Naturally, Tiana informed Azaroth of her current actions.
Azaroth approved of her actions as she was doing a good job. The sect did need to get famous. And this might be the best possible way to make the sect famous.
The Black Lake Sect may be a problem, but Azaroth had strategies for dealing with them if they became a nuisance.
Currently, Azaroth was entirely silent as he read Edwin\'s memories.
\'David Valliadis. That guy\'s current strength is probably beyond that of Black Hurricane\'s human form. What a surprising talent he is.\' Azaroth thought with a grim face.
Regardless of how much information or methods he possessed, he would never underestimate someone\'s talent.
\'I killed those stronger than me in Purgatory. If I could do it, why can\'t someone else do it? Moreover, this guy seems to be supported by Fate as well. He has an even greater chance of accomplishing such a feat.\' Azaroth thought.
He further analyzed \'Edwin\'s fight against David Valliadis has given me a lot of information. Fortunately, the Fate Energy doesn\'t assist David Valliadis in his fight against me other than recovering his energy.\'
"Mhm~ What\'s the matter, Master? Are you alright?" He was abruptly brought back to reality when he heard a question. It was Laura\'s voice.
Azaroth soon replied to her, "Nothing much. I was just thinking about some stuff."
Since the time he had sex with Laura, their relationship has changed a lot. Laura found out that Azaroth had inherited the Wood Element and the Nature\'s Blessing from her.
She was excited when she found out about that.
Laura assigned a few tasks to her subordinates and ordered them to train until they accomplished those objectives.
Meanwhile, she went to an empty training ground with Azaroth. She told him that she would help him in training the wood element.
Azaroth was truly an amateur in controlling the Wood Element. Unlike these other elements, the laws in the Wood Element were completely different.
It even seemed to contain life energy…
Azaroth had always been controlling the destructive force in the elements. Or the elements capable of mass destruction.
It was the first time he was controlling an element that possessed something similar to life energy.
Thus, Azaroth found it difficult to control it. This issue wasn\'t due to his lack of talent but more related to his instincts.
Laura saw this as an opportunity to spend some alone time with Azaroth. Moreover, she knew that her master wouldn\'t deny it if it was training.
Azaroth was getting better as he observed how Laura controlled her wood element using his Mystic Eyes of Perception. So he thought it wouldn\'t be a bad idea to spend some time with her.
"Master, I now have 80 subordinates. Most of them are at 2 Star Rank, while nearly 20 are at 3 Star Rank. What should I do next?" Laura asked while moving a little too close to Azaroth.
She kept her expression entirely calm, but it was entirely useless. Azaroth could easily see through her emotions using his Mystic Eyes of Perception. He knew she was nervous.
Internally, she was screaming in excitement.
Azaroth smiled slightly and muttered, "Focus on their foundations more. I will give you a pill in the next couple of days. That should help all the 2 Star Warriors to break through to the 3 Star Rank."
While speaking, he raised his hand and caressed Laura\'s blonde hair. Her blonde hair was very soft, and Laura nearly purred in delight as she felt Azaroth\'s gentle touch.
"Let\'s go to the market. I want to eat something," Azaroth suddenly suggested.
"YES!" Laura spoke a little bit too excitedly. When she realized her error, she paused for a couple of seconds and spoke with a faint whisper, "…I mean, if that\'s your order, master."
Azaroth chuckled at her antics and soon walked in the market\'s direction.
Laura shook her head swiftly and bolted after Azaroth. She stopped running when she reached Azaroth.
Nervously, she turned her head and looked at his face.
Azaroth raised his brow in confusion, and Laura immediately averted her gaze.
A couple of seconds later, Laura asked with a low voice, "…C-Can we hold hands, master?"
Azaroth replied almost immediately, "…Sure."
Laura was surprised to hear Azaroth agree with her request. She had been preparing herself for rejection.
She then moved even closer to Azaroth and held his hands. Holding hands was merely the first step. The next task for Laura was to not accidentally release Azaroth\'s hand.
Soon, some random worries crept into Laura\'s head \'I hope my hand isn\'t sweaty. Master doesn\'t dislike my skin, right?\'
Azaroth noticed Laura\'s worried expression, but he let the situation continue as it was. He was thinking about his next possible actions.
Mainly thinking about how he could initiate the war between the Glerian Kingdom and the Sinyalian Kingdom as soon as possible.
