Heavenly Monarch - Chapter 151
After instructing the maid to leave, Ellis decided they all go and meet up with the guest. Getting to the hall, before they could enter a voice rang from the inside.
“Miss Jenny I never knew that you will be here”.
“Who would have thought that the guest we will be expecting will be you, Jerry since it is very rare for you to look after your men” replied Jenny.
“What can I say, I took a liking to these two,” said the vice leader with a chuckle.
Waking in, Ellis and the rest greeted clan head Finn before taking their seat.
“Now that they are here, I believe it is time I take my leave,” said clan head Finn to the vice leader.
“There will be no need for that since it also concerns you” replied the vice leader with a smile.
“So why is the vice leader looking for us,” asked Ray.
“Remember I told you guys that I will inform you about the decision the head of the organization is going to make and it seems like they have a new quest for you two since you were already involved” reply the vice leader.
“You mean we are being tasked with killing that seer,” asked Ellis with a shock.
“Not killing but to investigate her and report back to the guild” reply the vice leader.
“What seer are you talking about,” asked Jenny.
“We discovered that the one responsible for the appearance of the demon is a lady and according to Ray, the suspect is Placidia from the Azura empire” reply the vice leader.
“That’s impossible, Placidia won’t do a thing like that,” said clan head Finn.
Hearing this, the vice leader turn to clan head Finn and asked.
“Why would you say that”.
“That is because she has helped the Azura empire by bringing out a hunter that attempted to summon a demon into the realm” replied clan head Finn.
“I see, anyways an order is an order so boys get ready for you are to leave for the Azura empire as soon as possible,” said the vice leader.
“I remembered we helped in the killing of the demon previously and we were not rewarded for that so what is the guild giving us as a reward for this quest,” asked Ellis.
“I never knew that you guys are after material things when you should be fighting for your people’s safety” reply the vice leader with a smile.
“What is there to gain if one was to lose his life in making the world a better place,” asked Ellis with a smile.
“What a selfish boy You are, alright how about a promotion in rank with the opportunity to pick any treasure from the guild vault” reply the vice leader.
“That could work for us,” said Ellis with a smile.
“We still have a problem here,” said Ray, and that is when they remember that Ray is also in the hall since he hasn’t spoken all this while.
“And what could that be” asked the vice leader.
“How am I supposed to walk freely in Azure empire when they all know what I look like” replies Ray.
“That won’t be a problem and since miss Jenny is here, it saved us the problem of going back to the guild for something like this,” said the vice leader.
“Can you help me with that” asked Ray with a happy expression on his face?
“As long as I have the necessary herbs making an artificial for you won’t be a problem” replies jenny with a nod.
“Please list down what you need and we will try our best to get them for you as soon as possible,” said clan head Finn.
“Now that it is sorted out, I believe it is time I take my leave,” said the vice leader as he stood up.
“Wait ain’t you going with us,” asked Ellis.
“If I were to go with you then it won’t be considered a secret quest anymore since my fame has gone wide so figuring out my intentions of coming to the empire won’t be a problem for her” reply the vice leader.
“I think you are right on that one but shouldn’t we have some men to help us carry out the quest since it won’t be an easy task for the two of us,” asked Ray.
“You have miss Jenny with you now which should be more than enough” reply the vice leader.
“I think we need more than that sir” mutter Ellis.
“Remember you are to leave for the quest as soon as possible, take this,” said the vice leader as he threw a mini scroll at Ellis.
Catching the scroll, Ellis begins to observe it before asking.
“What is this for”.
“With is scroll, you will be able to send information to the guild directly, saving you the trouble of going back to the guild to report your finding” replied the vice leader.
After giving them the quest, the vice leader bows to clan head Finn before taking his leave while Jenny told clan head, Finn, what she needs which didn’t take long before they were ready and she went back to Ellis courtyard to begin her work leaving the boys to do their thing.
Ellis decided to practice the cultivation Manuel he received from the trial since he has nothing to do and to his surprise, he was doing great in comprehending the technique.
Meanwhile, clan head Finn has summoned commander Derrick into the meeting hall for some assignment.
“Ellis will be leaving the clan for Azure empire, so I want you to keep watch over him until he made it there safely,” said clan head Finn.
“But sir since he already has a friend from the guild in his group with that young man by his side, I find it hard to believe that young master will get into trouble” reply commander Derrick.
“I know but it is better to be prepared for an upcoming danger,” said clan head Finn.
And that’s how 5 days flew by until they are ready to leave the clan to embark on their quest and during these 5 days, Ellis has made improvement in his cultivation base as his cultivation has gone up by 2 stages.
“I wonder if Jenny is done with the arrangement,” said Ray exciting as he head to the room that was arranged for her.
Knocking on the door, Ray and Ellis waited for her reply before going in as they saw her sitting down in a meditation state.
“I know you won’t be patient enough to wait until I come out,” said Jenny with a smile on her face as she opened her eyes to look at Ray.
“How can I wait when we are already running out of time here” reply Ray with a smile as he begins to look around the room in search of the artificial face but was not able to find it.
“What is it that you are looking for” ask Jenny when she saw Ray looking around.
“What else if not for the item I need in going into the Azure empire” reply Ray
“Here it is,” said Jenny as she brought a clay-looking mask out of her storage ring.
Looking at the mask, Ray couldn’t help but frown his face as he said.
“Am I supposed to wear that on my face”?
“Yes don’t you like it” replies Jenny with a smile.
“Then what difference does it make since they will know that I am hiding my identity,” said Ray.
“I can see that you know nothing about this artificial face mask, you see once you have put it on, you will be able to change your look to something else and you won’t be found out” replied Jenny with a chuckle.
“Is that true” asked Ray as he turned to Ellis for a reply.
“Why don’t you put it on, let’s have a look if it is going to work before we leave” reply Ellis
With a smile on her face, Jenny started to wear Ray the masked before adjusting his look. Though it took her some time before she was finally done with the adjustment, taking a step back to take a look at Ray.
“So how do I look now” asked Ray as he begins to touch his face.
“Hey stop touching it else you are going to ruin it,” said Jenny.
Taking a closer look at Ray, Ellis couldn’t help but chuckle as he replied.
“I won’t be able to recognize it was you if I was not present now”.
After the adjustment was done, Ray’s facial has changed a lot as he now looks like someone who is seen to be at the age of 30.
“But it would look much better if you were to have a mustache” added Ellis with his hand on his cheek as he begins to think.
“That won’t be a problem since I have sone storage in my ring” replied Jenny with a smile as she brought out some hair before dressing Ray. Now he looks more like an advanced man.
