Chapter 232 - 9.5
"Everything has been prepared?" King Elduin asked. He was at the Elven Kingdom gate, ready to set out on a journey.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but... are you sure that you don’t need soldiers to accompany you? Your Majesty, I know that you are strong, so does Your Divinity Priest Erolith. But the journey to the east is very dangerous, and there are a lot of dangerous wild beasts," the Elven General warned King Elduin.
At first, he was against King Elduin leaving the palace and take a long journey to the east, but once he said that Priest Erolith got a vision from the Sacred Tree for them to find the Essence of the Earth, the Elven General couldn’t say anything.
Because aside from King Elduin’s order, Priest Erolith also had the same hierarchy in power, especially when it was about the Sacred Tree.
King Elduin shook his head and patted the General’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, my friend. I will protect the Priest, just like the Priest will protect me. Together, only two of us, we will— "Elduin, has everything been set up yet?"
King Elduin immediately turned his head to look at his Big Ero. He thought they would leave the Elven Kingdom together, only two of them.
But his smile faltered when he saw a beastman that stood behind Big Ero.
The beastman was from the tiger tribe, and he looked young and vigorous. King Elduin peered at the beastman displeasingly and asked, "Priest Erolith, I thought it is only two of us who will go."
"It was supposed to be. But this beastman called Maroch begged me to give him a potion for his little brother, and want to repay me by being my guardian," Priest Erolith replied nonchalantly, ignoring Elduin’s folded face, "Do not worry, I bring him with us because his tribe is also the same path of our journey, once we are near our destination, I will tell him to leave."
