Alaric was calmly walking with the leader of the that monster herd in the snow when he suddenly asked " Tell me about yourself and about this place "
The monster stopped for a heartbeat and with a little nervousness and hesitation he begin " I am R leader of the scouts , those were slaves of this kingdom whom you killed"
" I see "
" Our king Mr.5 highness is the current ruler of the Snow and desset kingdom...."
Alaric didn't reply but he was taken aback by the name of the king , alaric looked at R and asked " You don't like your King do you ? "
R eyes widened, he first jerked his hand indicating no but after meeting alaric's cold glaze he gulped and nodded
" Why ? "
" No reason "
" He killed the previous king....and he was a part of your tribe am I wrong? "
R eyes once again widened in surprise and spoke " How do you know?"
Alaric didn't say anything it was just an guess at the end nothing more but it help to make alaric look more dangerous and mysterious, alaric again looked at R and asked " How much more time it will take ? "
" Not more then 30 minutes if you hadn't killed our breeded horse we would have already reached "
" Breeded horse ? " Alaric asked raising a broww
" Y-yes we breeded out horse with the unperfect dragons to get an desirable characteristics "
" Thanks"
R wasn't expecting this , he looked at alaric in surprise and asked " Why ? "
Alaric didn't looked at him and spoke " I won't regret burning your kingdom "
After an unknown period of continuous walking, Alaric finally reached the gates of the kingdom.
A large black gate with the walls surrounding the kingdom , anyone can guess just by looking at the boundaries that this place has gotten in trouble multiple times because of monsters outside.
The guard immediately opened the gate when he looked at R , from inside the kingdom was pretty normal and average, it was not 100% rural nor it was 100% developed.
Alaric and R walked for a while when they saw a large golden palace it was looking like it has been constructed by gold.
As soon as alaric saw the palace he immediately disappeared , R blinked and panicked instantly.
Alaric directly appeared at the king's chamber but to him astonishment king was pointing a katana towards him.
" Woah " Alaric mumbled while teleporting a little far away from king.
King looked at alaric without any expression when he asked " Who are you ? "
" Does it matter ? " Alaric asked conjuring a katana like king preparing for fight but before king could say anything, alaric asked " Why there are no guards ? "
King's expression was shocked as he wasn't expecting this kind of question " You...are the owner of this realm....this is your mind realm isn't it ? "
Alaric caught off guard eyes widened, he looked around disbelief his mouth hunged open but he soon came back to his senses and spoke without trying to hide truth " How do you know this ? "
" King have no guards is the most common knowledge in this realm and your appearance covered in white energy makes me say that and not surprisingly i am right "
Alaric didn't speak anything but king continued " so.....why really are you here ? "
" Two reasons " Alaric spoke raising his two fingers " First is that after escaping this realm I'll be able to manifest conduit energy and second to get experience"
King didn't say anything but nodded in acknowledgement, he looked at alaric and spoke " I can help you to fulfill both "
Alaric didn't looked surprised as he was expecting this all the time " How ? "
King fixed his golden-red outfit cuffs and spoke " I am not sure as well but if you have to escape from this realm probably you have to kill the strongest being in this realm which is Sun of West "
" Sun of West " Alaric repeated blinking twice
" And to gain experience I have training time chambers "
" What are they ? " Alaric asked curiously
" In this world there are some spots where time doesn't work normally where we create those chambers if you train there for 100 years in reality only a week will pass "
" Oh....Who is Sun of West ?" Alaric spoke as he doesn't care about training time chambers
" Most perfect dragon...he was almost embodiment of sun that's the reason we started calliing him Sun of West "
The first thing that came to alaric mind was R words when he told him about their breeded horses , alaric felt a sudden rush of excitement and curiosity
" Why are you helping me ? " Alaric asked because according to him nothing is free in this world if something is free then you are the product.
King smiled and spoke " For peace of both this kingdom and...mine " King sighed as soon as he finished.
Alaric looked at king from bottom to top and spoke without any expression " Where is training time chambers? "
" Just behind the throne "
**** ( A/N: I'll use this " **** " for time skip and Point of view shift )
A week has passed since , Alaric went to training time chambers when alaric finally stepped out of the chamber he was physically 19 years old and mentally 119 years old.
He has changed completely he is no longer alaric vale, he is Alaric now a person who has changed not physically but mentally.
In a way he is a Regressior who never regressed
A returnee who never returned
A time traveller who never travelled
The first one to greet alaric was none other then King , he looked at alaric and smiled " you have changed "
Alaric looked at king and his surroundings and spoke " Change is a part of nature.....you should say I have evolved "
" So what's you choice want to go to sun of West right now or later ? "
" You know what I like your words.....you are trying your best to use me to eliminate your greatest threat and to stole credit but I'll like to get used "
" You definitely have changed..no evolved "
Alaric walked past the king without looking at him when king spoke from behind " To reach Sun of West you have to clear first 2 layers of dragons "
" Intresting "
