Chapter 1020 Benefits
Apparently, being an esteemed member of the Zodiac City came with benefits.
A two-story villa with six bedrooms on top of a hill, a squad of twelve saint-level warriors led by a rank 9 captain as guards, dozens of well-trained servants, and one dedicated guide – in the form of a magus in the Full Moon realm – to be on his back and call out if he needed anything.
It was overwhelming, to say the least.
“What kind of needs exactly?” Klea asked, her eyes squinted towards the female magus.
A faint smile appeared on her face as Shena knowingly said, “Anything.”
“What the–” Klea’s mouth was wide open hearing the female magus’ words. The next instant, she blocked Emery from her vision with her body. “No, thank you. My Emery will not be needing any of your service.”
Shena chuckled at Klea’s antics. “What a cute couple you two.”
Wiping the playful look on her face, the female magus swiftly went to business and began to explain the privileges that came with the status Emery had just received.
She explained that, as Emery was now considered a valuable figure of the city, she would be available as a training and sparring partner, or as a protection service if he needed to go somewhere. Of course, all this on the basis that she was not summoned for another duty.
Shena took Emery by surprise when she showed her status to him, before saying, “I am a Full Moon magus, with proficiency in the Law of Water and Law of Light. Feel free to ask me if you need a partner to train with.”
[Shena]
[Magus Realm – Full Moon]
[Law of Water 30%]
[Law of Light 5%]
[Soul Force: 356]
[Battle Power: 585]
[Bloodline Rank 6 – Tide Wyrm]
Klea let out a sigh of relief when she heard the female magus’ words. The latter, however, had not finished her words.
“Oh, and also, if the young wolf needs some partner in bed, any of the servants will be readily available for him.” Shena chuckled again when she saw Klea’s expression which looked like a cat that had its tail stepped on. On the other hand, Emery wisely pretended that he didn’t hear any of that.
Emery then expressed his thanks to the female magus since he really appreciated all the facilities given to him. He was sure that not all esteemed members would be provided a Full Moon magus as a guide, one possessing a variant of Dragon bloodline at that.
With her bloodline and cultivation, Shena should have a power comparable to, if not exceeding, Lord Izta’s. Such a powerful individual now could be utilized by him. Hence, this must have been a special treatment given by King Alduin.
“Magus Shena, I am currently planning to take a look at the White Wolf Clan.”
“As you wish,” replied the female magus.
The female magus seemed to be quite free at the moment, therefore she accompanied Emery and Klea back to Zodiac City. The three made their way towards the Wolf Clan’s division hall, a small stone building decorated with a sigil in the shape of a howling white wolf.
The last time Emery came to this place was when he was about to leave for the Rave party, which was a long time ago. Not knowing what he would find inside, he stepped into the place with a feeling of anxiety and slight apprehension enveloped him.
So when he finally entered the building, he was very surprised to see at least two dozen figures filling the main hall. What’s more, half of them were wearing the Magus Academy uniform, meaning they must be the first and second year acolytes.
Emery’s arrival seemed to cause a commotion as murmurs and whispers began to be heard in the area. Coupled with Klea and Shena, the discussion only became rowdier. Then suddenly, someone walked over to the trio, or rather, to Emery. It was a tall muscular young man.
“Hello, Brother Emery. It’s been a while.”
Emery turned his head when he heard someone calling his name and saw a scary-looking face. The owner of the polite and soft voice was someone he knew. Andrei, one of the three wolves who had kidnapped him in the past.
He was really happy that he was able to find a familiar face around. However, his expression changed when his brain suddenly recalled Brutus who had died during the mission. Without him realizing it, he asked the big wolf. “Andrei, is Tatjana here?”
Hearing the question, Andrei pointed his finger towards a certain direction. Following his direction, Emery saw the bar and finally the figure he was looking for. There she was, the red-haired fox bloodline was smiling at him from afar.
Emery walked towards her, with Klea and Shena following right behind. The Egyptian Queen recognized the girl as they had met before. Unfortunately, a little to no conversation happened between them at that time, so she only smiled at her as a greeting.
On the other hand, Emery was in trance as his mind was filled with the images of Brutus’ final moments. Subconsciously, he grabbed Tatjana’s arm, surprising the red-haired girl with his action.
Seeing her eyes staring at him, Emery started to speak though with difficulty. “I-I’m sorry about Brutus… I was there with him when–”
Emery’s words were cut short as the girl turned around and busied herself preparing a drink. “So what do you like to drink?”
From her reaction, it was apparent that the female fox tried hard not to think about the matter. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like Emery was able to catch the clue as he continued his words.
“Tatjana, I want to tell you about Brutus’ last moments. Even till his last breath, he thought of you. He said–”
“Stop it”
The red-haired fox girl had turned her body again, her eyes on Emery as tears threatened to burst.
“I know… I love him too… I know,” said Tatjana between her sobs.
Wiping away her tears, she put four glasses on the bar counter and filled them with the drink she had made. Grabbing and raising one of the glasses to the air, she said “To Brutus” before downing the drink in one go.
All the others follow with respect to Brutus.
The girl’s pitiful sight made Klea subconsciously grip Emery’s arm tightly.
Emery himself, still somehow blames himself that he cannot save Brutus that time, this brought him to drink a few more glasses.
After some talk about the wolf clan condition, Emery asked “Tatjana, do you know where I can find Magus Heorgar?”
“I think he’s in the city. He comes here every week or two, but I really don’t know where he stays exactly.”
At this moment, Shena who had been silent opened her mouth. “If you are looking for Chief Heorgar, I believe he’s in the barracks. He’s been very busy lately. After all, he has been promoted as one of the 12 Flag Bearers of the Zodiac City.”
