Chapter 191: Into the Emerald Dreamwood
Black Rose had not replied to a single message, which left Ambrose somewhat worried.
Unfortunately, he had no way of flying straight into the Umbral Depths to check on her. All he could do was mention her lack of activity in the group chat and ask Alabastra to check in on her.
But Alabastra claimed to be too busy to do so at present.
Busy? What could a bone dragon possibly be busy with? Surely she wasn't childbearing?
With no other options, Ambrose could only wait patiently for Black Rose's reply, hoping she wouldn't get overly emotional when she met her ancient forebear.
Originally, Ambrose had planned to keep Arthur Lyon operational and squeeze a few more gold coins out of Heki Stone. Unfortunately, the heroic spirit was far too weak and had to return to the hourglass to sleep once more.
Reluctantly, Ambrose had to give up on exploiting him for the moment and instead turned his thoughts to what lay ahead.
It would take at most one further day of sailing to reach the western coast of the Emerald Dreamwood. After that, it would be time to formally negotiate with the druids.
If the Ragetide Kingdom hadn't insisted on dispatching an entire fleet to escort him, Ambrose would have contacted Catherine and Naomi the moment he landed and run off with them.
