Heavenly Monarch - Chapter 157

“You mean we can now go to the Azure empire,” asked Ray with a smile on his face.

“Yes we can but we are not going there now, let’s take some time to go through the plan on her to get her to reveal the key” reply Ellis seriously.

“First of all, how are we going to get close to her,” asked Jenny.

“If you are thinking of getting close to her then it is easy as a piece of cake” replies Ray.

“Huh, do you have a plan in mind that might work” asked Ellis.

“I won’t call it a plan though but if we want to get to her, then Jenny will be the one to meet her for divinity” replies Ray.

“How can you call getting her to divine for her to make her close with the seer,” asked Ellis.

“Come on guys, use your head for once. Once she has divine for Jenny, Jenny can act like she admires the seer and wants to be her apprentice. I don’t see any reason why she would reject you” reply Ray as he turned to look at Jenny.

“That could also work but it is under the possibility that she accepted her as her disciple,” said Ellis as he begins to massage his chin.

“You don’t have to worry, look I have known her for long and if there is something she loves most is being praised” replies Ray with a smile.

“Wait a minute how come you know this much about her,” asked Jenny when seeing Ray been confident with what he is saying.

“That is because I have been in the empire for long and most of the time when I went hunter, I used to see people kissing her boot like she is some goddess then the look she had on her face was one of joy” reply Ray

“I guess we will have to give it a try then, what did you say Jenny. Do you think you can do that” asked Ellis as he turned to Jenny?

“I don’t mind faking and act as long as the job was done but the problem now is what are you two going to do when we got there” reply Jenny with a question of her own.

“Don’t worry about us, if there is something we are better at is blend with the crowd” said Ellis with a smile.

“Yeah just like we did when we first came to Hiepia empire” added Ray with a laugh.

“Are you guys even taking this serious, you could be caught the moment you stepped into the empire” reply Jenny with a frown.

“We are serious here alright especially Ray who can’t wait to get his hands on her,” said Ellis.

“Yeah just like Ellis said and if I was the one to meet her for divinity, I won’t hesitate to slice her to death” reply Ray.

“That’s why you won’t be the one to meet up with her,” said Ellis with a smile.

“I hate you for that but I will let it go this time since I will get her by the end of all this” replies Ray with a smile on his face.

“Okay now that all preparation has been made let’s set off,” said Ellis as he got up and take the lead out of the desert.

After leaving the desert, the group walks for a while as they look for a place that is devoid of human trace before Ellis took out the scroll and activated it with his spiritual energy before throwing it on the floor. Before long the portal has formed as it begins to spin around.

“Alright guys, once we get through this portal we might not be able to get in contact with each other but remember to meet up in the pub every two days to report what we find out,” said Ellis.

“I like that idea man, the pub is really a good place to hold a meeting” reply Ray as he gave Ellis a thumbs up.

“If we are picking the pub, then I won’t be able to meet up with you guys since you know I would have been known by the citizen that I am her disciple,” said Jenny with a worried look on her face.

“Dammit, how could I have forgotten about that. This is going to be very troublesome” replies Ellis as he smacks his head lightly.

“How about meeting in the inn, since we can’t use the pub, I don’t see a reason why others will stick their nose in your business,” said Ray.

“Then we will be using the inn as our meeting point” reply Jenny with a smile with a nod.

“Then it is settled then,” said Ellis before gesturing for Jenny to go into the portal.

With no hesitation, Jenny went through the portal before Ray follows suit leaving Ellis as the last person to go in. But before going in he turned around as he looks in the direction of Gibson with a smile on his face as he mutters to himself before walking into the portal.

“Once more I am leaving the clan again and god knows if I will be coming back alive or dead”.

Just as they went into the portal it disappeared from sight while leaving a scorch mark on the ground where it used to be. And a shadow walks out of thin air as he stood by where the portal used to be.

“Good luck son, you may not know this but you have just made your old man proud. I will be waiting for your return soon” said clan head, Finn, as he disappeared.

After going through the portal in the trial, they became accustomed to the feeling one has when going through the portal as they went through with ease but what they were not expecting was to land at the same place and a little town that is far from the Azure empire.

“Haha, looks like we all end up together like couples,” said Ray as he let out a laugh.

“Something is not right here” replies Ellis as he looks around where they have landed.

“Though I have not been to the Azure empire before I know by the rumors that have been spreading in the other empire that it is the biggest and grand empire of them all. So we must have been teleported to a town that is close to the empire” added Jenny.

“So you mean to say we were duped by those merchants. Which means those scrolls that I bought are also fake locations” said Ray in anger.

“I won’t say we were duped but instead were taken to the town that was the closest to the empire and the same theory goes with those scrolls that are in your possession” replied Jenny.

“How can you be so sure about that when you are not even sure of where you are” asked Ray.

“That is easy” reply Ellis as he walks to a passerby who was on his way out of the town.

“Excuse me, sir, I and my friends came here through the use of the portal and would want to know where we were brought to” asked Ellis as he bows a little to the man to show his respect.

“Those things are not that reliable which is why I never used it. Anyways you are in a town called Zotor” replied the man.

“Thank you good sir but please I would also love to ask if the Azure empire is also far from here,” asked Ellis once more.

“It’s not that far from here. A day trip should be enough to get you there once you go through that one” replied the man as he pointed at a path that leads to a wood in the distance.

“Thank you once more sir, I will be leaving now,” said Ellis as he bows once more before walking back to meet with the group.

“So what did he say” asked Ray as he waited for Ellis to drop the bomb.

“It is just like Jenny said, we are sent to this town known as Zotor and it will take us a day to get to the Azure empire if we go through that forest according to what the man said” reply Ellis.

“Which means I will be sent to a town or village that is close to my destination if I were to use my scrolls,” said Ray as he began to make calculations.

“Most likely or better still, you will be sent to your destination directly” reply Jenny with a nod.

“What scroll did you get from the merchant,” asked Ellis who seen confused about what they were talking about.

“Ray bought a scroll that will take him to the death mountain to take his revenge on the beast that beat him up and a forbidding land scroll also” reply Jenny with a smile on her face as she can’t wait to see the expression in Ellis’s face.
