Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Olor just shook his head helplessly, before he said:

"This isn't just any statues. This world once was under the reign of your dragonairs' clan, and they handed it to us a couple of hundred of years ago.

The statues are gates linking the planes of these dragonairs to here. It's one way passage though, as your ancestors never put this place in their eyes."

Arthur nodded, as these were the same words he heard from Sara. "I heard the soul absorption technique hailed from there. Is that correct?"

This time the shock of Olor was unparalleled! "How do you know all this? Have you already acquired another spy other than me?" he asked with rushed breaths.

Arthur glanced silently at him and didn't answer. "Just reply," he said, keeping his secrets his.

"Sigh, you are really like those dragonairs of old times. What you heard is correct, and these techniques can't be acquired easily, and can't be transferred to anyone.

So, each couple of years we have the chance to send in our representatives to acquire such a mighty skill. This technique was said to have originated from this world, but I really don't know the truth about this."

"That's good. Is there anything special about these statues?"

"Special?" Olor seemed lost in his thoughts before saying, "I think there were ancient rumors regarding them. Ancient monsters sealed in these statues."

"Ancient monsters?"

'Ancient monsters of this world!"

The answer of Olor cleared much fog on the truth. "Is there any way to release them?" he asked.

"I told you, these are just rumors! What I heard about was that dragonairs sealed these statues and they might know the way to release them."

The answer of Olor wasn't helpful to Arthur, who now knew the real reason behind Sara going there. "So she knows how to release her monster," he muttered to himself before putting this matter aside for now.

After all he would stay back and watch her do whatever she wanted before deciding what to do with her. "But I have some relation with this process," he was certain of this.

Or else why would she call upon him and wait all this time doing nothing?

"I need you to provide a detailed map to me regarding the clans nearby. Plus, I want another one with places of population and resources."

"Right away, master."

"Also keep your eyes open towards any news regarding the big clans' movement."

"Sure, any word I hear will be delivered to you."

"Good, now go."

"Thanks for your kindness, master."

Arthur watched Olor disappearing before sighing. He knew this sly man wouldn't be this respectful to him if he had the chance to kill him. So he wasn't fooled by his silver tongue or sweet words.

"Now I should wait for him to send me the maps, and then I can start my crusade again," he said to himself while deciding to wait for Olor. He knew Olor wouldn't delay to deliver the maps, and his guess was proven right.

In less than one hour, Olor knocked on the mirror where he felt this signal reaching his mind. "So this is how this works," he said to himself before knocking on the mirror, and then Olor showed him the maps.

Arthur memorized them before finally opening his eyes. Amelia was long awake and left here in a hurry, it seemed. 'Tsk, still a young girl after all, young and sexy, hehehe," he shook his head while laughing with a clear heart.

He recalled the map he just saw. "These clans are closer to me than expected!"

He didn't expect them to be this close! According to the map, the distance between his city and the border zone with these clans would take roughly a day and a half on foot.

That meant with flying, he would reach there in half a day!

"These mountains seemed to serve better than I thought," he muttered while exiting the mansion. The spot of these clans exited way beyond the series of mountains here.

"If not for these mountains, my city would have been surrounded by huge armies long time ago!" he glanced over the mountains lying back to his city, feeling much delighted to select this place to build his city.

The other route around the mountains would take a week to cross, making the journey quite unrealistic.

As he went out of the mansion, he noticed the large number of his citizens working hard to finish the remaining buildings. The entire city had less than thirty percent now full of buildings, and the rest were still empty spaces waiting to be built.

"My time here is tight," he said as he took out one bird's wing and wrote something to Amelia before letting it burn. The next ten minutes he found many faces coming towards the mansion where he went inside the base floor and entered the meeting room ahead of them.

The room was really vast, taking around half of the entire mansion area. As most of the mansion was still under construction, only part of the room was available now.

And it was more than enough to contain his small team he summoned.

Amelia came in with Omar and Randy. They were followed with Ron, Ouly, and Drago. Then Guenin, Deem, and Gor appeared, with Sara coming last.

The appearance of Sara surprised him, but he said nothing. After all, he asked Amelia to bring the main figures of his city to a grand secret meeting. And it seemed she invited Sara as well.

"Sit," he said while sitting on the head of a big oval table made of a fiery ore. "I gathered you here today so I can set the future plans of the city."

He said before glancing over Deem, "Can you bring me some papers and pen?" he asked and Deem obediently took some of his papers and pen out.

"This is the map of the surrounding area," he started drawing the map Olor provided to him.. He drew such a large map that even the area of his city and adjacent forest seemed like a small circle there.
