System Of Gods And Devils - Chapter 47

Roger stood in front of a beautiful island filled with towering mountains kissing the clouds. It was a magnificent sight, opposite to what he thought. He expected towering buildings and stadiums instead of wildlife.

The people here aren’t flashy like the people from the capital. They looked kind and virtuous expect the clan elders who were looking at him as an idol. Their eyes were glittering like a twelve-year-old girl watching her dream boyfriend. You can’t blame them, for them Roger was their only hope of reaching the Uppers Realms.

Roger felt creepy, “Qing’er! I am tired can I rest before meeting everyone.” He asked.

“Yes! Follow me! I will take you to your courtyard.” Qing’er took Roger to a courtyard surrounded by bamboo trees and in front was a beautiful waterfall and a lake.

Roger was mesmerized by the beauty, “How is it? This courtyard is built specially for you in this location! Do you like it?” with a smile Qing’er asked. She felt proud, looking at his expression.

Qing’er then alotted houses for others near the courtyard. Roger already took the kids inside his dimension and alotted dwellings for them. He asked the Guardian Kronan to train them. He didn’t worry about the food because the dimension has a lot of beasts in it. By hunting for food can also be training for them.

“Phew!” Roger jumped on the bed and thought about the happenings these past few days. He thought about his sister Stacy whether he could find her and the sad face of his parents before he left the Xia Empire.

Listening to the peaceful sound of the waterfalls; he fell asleep. Lisa quietly stood outside the door to stop someone disturbing his rest.

Next day morning…

Roger quietly sat on a table with the Soaring Dragon clan patriarch and Qing’er to his side while Lisa and Lilly stood behind him.

“Both of you quit acting like a servant and join us for breakfast.” Roger turned his head and commanded in a strict voice.

Both of them looked at each other with a smile and sat beside Qing’er. The Patriarch didn’t mind as their clan believed in simplicity.

After finishing the breakfast, Roger followed the patriarch to the meeting hall of the elders.

All the elders were present; they were eagerly waiting for his arrival. Since there doesn’t follow the ranking system, basically anyone can sit anywhere. So some of the elders have been waiting since yesterday night sitting near Roger’s seat.

The elders sitting on the back were fuming with anger. If they had known, they would’ve done the same. The patriarch smiled helplessly at their behavior. As a Guardian Clan’s elder, they had high pride like a tiger wherever they go, but in front of Roger, they turned into cute little kittens. He can’t blame them because he knows that Roger is the only hope for their ascension. So leaving a good impression on him was the priority of every single one there.

Lisa and Lilly stood behind him feeling proud of the treatment he’s getting.

Roger and the elders talked for a few minutes regarding his family and the continent. Everyone was eager to find how a character like him was born on a remote continent. The ones near him acted like a kind grandpa and even cried when they heard of his parent’s situation with the Ou clan. They pated his shoulders and praised for being a filial child.

The ones behind them were basically at their wit’s end.

“Fuc*! Look at the seventh elder tears, he never even cried for his wife’s death but now he’s acting like my dead grandma.” Said twenty-fifth elder from the back.

The one beside him also nodded, they stood up and went near him.

“Seventh elder! I just got a message that your grandson has been injured on the battlefield. You should leave immediately before anything happens to him.” The twenty-fifth elder said with a worried face.

The seventh elder looked at him for a second and spoke.

“Humph! Isn’t it just an injury! If he can’t even handle something like this, then I am ashamed to call him as my grandson.”

The Seventh elder was more than 45,000 years old, so how could he fall for some cheap tricks.

“Fuc* you!” the twenty-fifth elder blurred out accidentally and regretted immediately.

“How dare you curse me?” the seventh elder shouted in rage.

“Your grandson is in danger, and you’re in the mood to chat! If it were me, I would’ve rushed to see my grandson.” The twenty-fifth elder argued.

“Why do even care? First of all, how do you get the news of my grandson’s injury while I didn’t?” he argued back fiercely.

Looking at the brawl, the patriarch shouted, “Enough both of you! Twenty-fifth elder go back to your seat!”

The patriarch then smiled apologetically at Roger and asked, “Young Master! I’ve heard from Great Elder that you have used your vital yang essence to save your friend, is that true?”

Roger nodded.

“I know of a way that might help young master cure. Do you want to hear?” the patriarch asked.

“What? Really!” Roger was surprised.

“Yes! Have you heard of Spirit nectar?” he asked again.

Roger then heard a scream inside his head.

Roger quickly ask him where the spirit nectar is. With it, we can recover about 10% of our previous power, and also it can recover your lost vital yang.

Roger was confused, “Recovering their power?” he thought.

“Patriarch! Could you tell me where I can find the spirit nectar?” he asked.

“I can tell you the location but whether you can find it or not depends on you.” He replied.

“Please tell me the location.”

“Yes, patriarch please do tell! I will walk through fire to bring my brother Roger the cure!” the seventh elder exclaimed valiantly.

Looking at his shamelessness, the twenty-fifth elder gritted his teeth. Ignoring him, everyone chimed in.

“Yes tell us, patriarch! We will put our life on the line to bring the cure!” everyone shouted as they were ready for a war.

The patriarch and Roger smiled helplessly. Roger felt awkward when he heard the seventh elder called him as a brother. But still, he felt warm looking at their concern.

“Everyone sit down! The place where we can find the cure is at the Eternal tomb dimension” the patriarch said.

Hearing the word Eternal Tomb the previous vigor in their eyes was replaced by shock.
