“Aahhh! Khadula!”

A horrified scream broke through the night in the Xylond Sanctum, scaring a handful of owls in the woods as they flapped their wings, flying away like possessed owls . The janitors in the Sanctum stopped what they were doing, looking toward the sound source .

Behind the Sanctum, in the massive, just completed the holy hall, the Night Lord bounced to his feet, heart in his mouth . He looked down the hole in his bed at Khadula, who crouched inside the hole he had dug under the bed .

She was one of Khadula’s avatars, aide-de-camp, Khadula 1131 . Before this Khadula 1131 became one with Khadula, she was the housekeeper cum defense assistant of the royal court of some ancient kingdom . Sent by Khadula, she would be the close assistant of the Night Lord, running errands for him .

“You may keep your voice down,” Khadula 1131 said .

Khadula 1131 wore a gray uniform that looked like a slim-fit outfit with a miniskirt on the outside . Looking from the perspective of combat, this was an ideal attire . Hidden underneath this skinny dress were various small weapons . The Night Lord had seen it with his own eyes before; this new assistant of his had killed thirteen transcendents in five seconds .

“You’re lucky that I haven’t done my business down the hole . Isn’t it unseemly for you to come into the room of a bachelor?”

The Night Lord pulled the quilt tightly over himself and sat on a chair . Since he was not discovered, he had nothing to lose .

“No worries . I have seen nothing . ” Khadula 1131 appeared composed .

“Just cut the cackle . Why are you barging into my room at this late hour? You should know that seven in the evening is my time for beauty sleep,” barked the Night Lord . He was not too happy, but he also knew this aide-de-camp well . Despite the short time he had known her, he saw that she had a distinct way of doing things . She would not disturb him if it was just for something trivial .

“Sir . ” Khadula 1131 bowed slightly . She then lunged out from the hole in the bed and stood there . “Khadula One hopes you can head over to check the progress . ”

“Um, are you talking about opening up the route in the Pearl Ocean?” The Night Lord felt a sense of seriousness .

Since Lin Sheng successfully got a foothold in Henricqal, he decreed that all commanders of his must find ways to establish a route between the two sanctums . Separating the Xylond Sanctum and Henricqal Sanctum was a body of waters called the Pearl Ocean, which was about 1,000 kilometers across .

It was fairly easy to traverse the two places before the Blacktide outbreak . But as the Blacktide ravaged through the world, it did not matter what kind of transport one used; the cost was prohibitive . The wealthy were scrambling to move to a safer area . Sense of security had become the world’s only motivation .

Since the outbreak, Xylond Sanctum had dispatched two small fleets . Unfortunately, both fleets disappeared in the Pearl Ocean, one following the other . As the thick and mysterious fog on the sea surface had a strong signal interference quality, even satellites could not peer through the fog to see what happened down there . And this was why establishing a link between the two places was the most important task .

“My suggestion is, if you do not have the strength of a Six-winger, you better not send anyone out to get killed,” the Night Lord said .

“In the fleet we deployed before, there was an Oppressor-class individual, who was the strongest among them all…

“But even before the Oppressor-class individual could send back any signal, the person mysteriously disappeared . You can imagine how dangerous the Pearl Ocean is . ”

“I understand . I will convey your message to Sir . Khadula One . ”

All Khadulas were connected . When one got the information, the others would receive it immediately .

“Besides, the Original has recruited a new member who is of the same class as me,” said the Night Lord . “If it is possible, I will—”

“Challenge them? Not wanting the late-comers to get ahead of you?” The aide-de-camp got the hint . “Is this about the dignity of the dragon bloodline?”

Standing in his shoes, the aide-de-camp instantly felt an honorable ancient self-esteem rise within her . It made her realize that the master she served was of the bloodline of the legendary Shadow Dragonking . The aide-de-camp kept her head low .

“Understood . I will not let you down . ”

“No… I was just thinking…”

“When would she come and take over the stuff here…”

The Night Lord put up his hand .

“It doesn’t make a difference whether I’m here . I still think I’m more suited to be a reserve—the kind that you will never have to use it . ”

“So you want to be the reserve who will never be called up?” The aide-de-camp did not know what to say more .

On a white isolated beach somewhere along the coast of Xylond .

“Welcome to Xylond, the Second Seat, Sir . Aelfe Shafrayne!”

Twenty gray-robed figures were on one knee, waiting with the highest respect as the white-haired man emerged from out of the water . The white-haired man looked strong, a metal flowery pattern inlaid right in his chest .

The wind was howling strongly in the surroundings as all the gray-robed figures kept their head low with thin plumes of dark-energy smoke pervading behind them . The greenish smoke shot out and formed what looked like a semi-transparent shield in the air above them . It was apparent these gray-robed figures were all transcendent . They did not come to this desolate wilderness without a solid plan in place .

The leading gray-robed figure was a shriveled old woman who adorned herself with a gold frontlet over her forehead . She held a black short staff in her hand . She was stooped and short, her eyes that looked like a pair of plastic balls looking up, staring at the emerging Second Seat .

“Sir, would you please let us know your purpose of coming?”

She would not be this flippant if it was the other Sevenlocks . But the one here was her grandfather-in-law . That was also the reason she was sent to receive him .

“I have only one mission in Xylond…” Second Seat Aelfe was expressionless, voice proud . “…which is to destroy the Sanctum headquarters . ”

“The Sanctum headquarters?” The old woman knew that there was a conflict between the Sanctum and the Sevenlocks Tower, but it should not be irreconcilable . She had long heard that as a newly emerging force of influence, the Sanctum was distinct and playing a significant role against the Blacktide .

The Sanctum headquarter is in Shermanton, occupying a small hill to themselves . They called the hill the Sanctum Hill . their headquarters should be right up the top .

Second Seat Aelfe nodded in acknowledgment . “Good job . ” He checked his watch . “Arrange a vehicle . I have an appointment in the evening . ”

“Understood!” The old woman got to her feet .

Second Seat Aelfe suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking up . “Someone is watching in the distance . Finish them off!”

He then strode up the beach where there was nothing but shingle . Then a Fortress-model blue tank suddenly appeared out of thin air . As he climbed into the tank, the gray-robed figures split into two teams, one going to finish off the enemy scout, the other into the vehicles that emerged following the first one .

“The Sanctum…” Sitting in the tank, Second Seat Aelfe smirked with derision .

According to the intel, since the establishment of Henricqal Sanctum, the sanctum here had never produced a Palatinate . It was evident that their assessment was accurate . Without a doubt, the Sanctum here was only a shell .

“Pain and agony await you for daring to resist the supreme Sevenlocks Tower . I’d enjoy seeing that happen slowly…” He licked his lips, tongue sticking out from his mouth a slug that looked like a snake .
