Chapter 421: Execution
Joanis didn't like to hear that, even though he knew that it was truly the best option... until now, he assumed that a fourteen years old boy wouldn't change his plans that much, but after losing dozens of his special soldiers to take him down, he realized that having Rain on his side would be more than a little useful... perhaps with his help, they could take over the magic people's capital in less than three days.
Joanis sent the word for one of the guards, and then they went to fetch Revan, who was guarding the front of the camp... during the wait, he stopped to think about what he knew about Rain. The only thing that he knew was the fact that he had noble traces in his appearance. Some members of the king's blade said that Rain was also recruited by Branden when he was eight years old.
"I thought that it would be unusual to recruit a mercenary organization a kid of that age, even if they had high magical power... but it seems that Branden realized the potential of this boy," Joanis thought while rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"Unlike my soldiers who followed the training regimen that I made them to have the abilities that I wanted, he followed his own that enhanced his own talents... I have to investigate more about him... I have the feeling that the negotiations won't start well."
It was annoying, but Joanis told the king that they should call back the troops that left. The king readily accepted that offer since he was certainn that Joanis was no longer underestimating Rain. At the same time, Joanis called for an assembly of the king's blade... it was troublesome to give them orders when Karla wasn't around, but it would be fine since they were just going to ask some questions.
"Yes, Your Majesty?" Revan asked after he knelt in front of the king.
Revan also looked quite surprised by the recent events... they assumed that their defenses were perfect against everything, but Rain showed them that it wasn't the case... the anti-magic barrier had the shape of a perfect sphere, but it wouldn't protect them if the ground below them were to give in and it seemed that Rain was planning to do that.
"Your Majesty, all that I know is that he often visited the same blacksmith shop to repair his gear."
"Your Majesty, I never asked why, but it seemed that he and his friends were often wearing weird things on their wrists and ankles." Continue reading at m|v-l'e -novelhall.net
"I heard that they were weights created by Rain himself, but no one ever asked what it was for... but Jori would often put in his sword, so it must have been for training."
"During the war, the only type of magic that he didn't use was fire, so he is probably weak against that."
"There is this rumor that he is a great cook, Jori and his party would often eat at his home and they praised his skills highly."
"I heard that he would get pretty depressed when his sisters didn't want to hang out with him. He was the type of guy who would spoil them a lot."
Joanis began to bite his lips in annoyance. Some useless information were being passed to him now, he didn't care about that. He wanted to know Rain's weakness, but at least he learned a few things that could be the secret of his strength... This Blacksmith shop was also worth investigating. Still, before they could learn anything useful, a messenger arrived in the area, visibly flustered.
"Your Majesty... Captain Revan was killed."
