Chapter 174: His Golden Seed
“I can assure you, it’s not corruption,” Nyzzara said with a sigh, crossing her arms. “The greatest fighters deserve the best. Our chieftain is the best, so he gets the best. You get the idea?”
“Sure…” Rael rolled his eyes. “Though I guess it doesn’t really matter, since the entire land will look like that soon.”
“Rael…” Zafira muttered. “You weren’t kidding when you said you’d restore all their land?”
“It’s going to be expensive, but if anything…” Rael replied with a shrug as his smirk widened, “I believe the barbarians get quite a bit of money from killing monsters, so a generous contribution is always welcome.”
He turned toward Nyzzara, his smirk still lingering.
“Right?”
“Donations… are not up to me,” Nyzzara said, avoiding his gaze. “But I can put in a good word for you with the chieftain.”
“That’s good enough for me,” Rael replied, flashing Zafira a thumbs-up.
With that, Nyzzara led them toward the giant stone castle, past the guards, and into some sort of inner area.
There were a dozen lounge chairs, and in the very center of it all, a single skinny man with a single red mark on his forehead.
He was old, very old. His hair was all gray, but even so, Rael felt threatened by him, almost as if his strength was barely contained.
