The Rise of the Black Plain
Chapter 1836 Conversation During The Inheritance
Seven days had passed since Minos and Ruth began receiving the inheritance from the level 100 dragon, even though to them, it seemed like only a few minutes had passed.
Forrest's group was trapped inside a large sphere that prevented them from coming and going, and they were stuck there while they waited for the inheritance to be completed.
Most of them had taken advantage of this time to cultivate and train, as there was no danger to them in this area. But as the days passed, some of them began to worry.
What if this inheritance would last for months? What if they could not leave until the event was over?
This concern was on the minds of some of the men in Forrest's group, who still had a lot of work to do in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom.
So far, they have been more focused on getting promotions and things for themselves. But now that half of the event had passed, they wanted to focus on getting things for their faction to strengthen the high-level experts in their group who were taking care of serious matters in the Evergreen Empire.
One of the reasons why the high-level experts didn't come to this event was that not only were the weaker youths almost as efficient as them at getting things in this area, but they also had critical matters to attend to.
In other words, was it worth it for a guardian to leave their position if they could send a representative to collect something they wanted? Was it worth the risk of weakening their position for such a thing?
So, as they watched time pass and Ruth and Minos continued the same way, some of these men began to worry.
After one of them asked, Forrest sighed and said. "I don't know. But there's nothing we can do. An inheritance like this can't be stopped; even a level 99 Demigod would find it extremely difficult to get out of this area.
I think it's best if we cultivate without worrying too much. Eventually, the legacy will come to an end."
He glanced toward the last Spiritual Sage in his group, who had been trying to keep up with Minos and Ruth as they received their inheritance.
Meanwhile, Gloria and Abby were resting after a workout and approached this member of the Spiritual Church headquarters.
"Cardinal Forrest, since we finally have a moment of peace without worries, I want to ask you a few questions. Could you clear up some of my doubts?" Gloria asked.
In theory, Forrest was her superior, and even though he was an ally in and out of this Spatial Kingdom, she couldn't casually demand answers from him, let alone talk to him so freely.
But after months of working side by side, the relationship between their groups had grown closer. Now, the red-haired beauty felt confident enough to open a dialogue with the Supreme Pontiff's disciple.
"What do you have in mind, Cardinal Frost?" Forrest looked at Gloria and Abby, putting aside the previous topic.
"I have two requests. One about the North Sea and one about the Blood Triangle Pirates. Do you know anything about these subjects?" She asked as Abby sat down with Forrest's group around a campfire.
The rest of her group was either training or meditating.
Hearing this, Forrest nodded in agreement. "I know a little of each."
"Then, can you tell me the purpose of the Blood Triangle Pirates? I confess that my husband has been investigating this group for some time. Still, some of the information about them confuses us."
Forrest saw no problem in talking about something that had nothing to do with him, like this group concerning the Evergreen family. So he answered. "The Blood Triangle Pirates act for the good of the imperial family of my state.
They take orders from the emperor and whoever is in that position. Right now, that would be the Supreme Elder of the Evergreen Family, but with Maximilian's return, things have changed somewhat.
The current Evergreen family has the same ambition as Maximilian. Expansion. That's why they listen to this guy instead of following the Supreme Elder."
"What's the point of kidnapping and enslaving beasts from the Continent of Beasts?" Abby asked, making several of the Demigods look at her.
Forrest bitterly laughed and said. "This is for power, young miss. The Evergreen Family is among the 20 strongest families in the Spiritual World. Would it be worth it for a tribe from the Continent of Beasts to fight for a low-level beast kidnapping?
The Blood Triangle Pirates are weak. They can only take beasts up to the 7th stage. So, it's not worth the risk for 10th-stage powers to get into trouble with this imperial family.
Meanwhile, the Evergreen family raises these beasts to become stronger, sells the weaker and less talented ones, and keeps the others as protectors.
I don't like their methods, but I can't deny their effectiveness."
Abby and Gloria heard this and didn't comment on how wrong it was. Minos did something similar!
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Of course, Minos didn't take low-level beasts, kidnap them, and force unfair contracts on them. But he did use the strategy of domination against beasts that stood in his way, giving them the choice of dying or serving him.
Several of the Black Plain Empire's protector beasts were conquered in this way and helped to strengthen the state. Without these beasts, Gloria and Abby knew that the number of experts in their state would be reduced by at least 40%.
Therefore, they both knew how good it was to use beasts as protectors.
Forrest continued. "So they act this way to gain the power they need to pursue their expansionist plans. To keep these beasts under control, they enforce accords that prevent these creatures from speaking of them and their methods, making it difficult even for fugitives to reveal their plans to the world.
But those close to this family know what they want. My master tried for a long time to stop them. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful, something that has always shamed him."
Hearing this, Abby was surprised. From everything she had heard in the last few years of the war before Duncan's seclusion began, this man seemed to be a peaceful and good person, the opposite of what one would typically expect from someone in charge of an organization like the Spiritual Church.
"This is surprising. It seems the Supreme Pontiff was quite a figure." Abby murmured.
"Hmm, he is." Forrest agreed, looking toward the level 100 aura covering Minos and Ruth. 'I hope he reaches that level in the future...'
"What about the North Sea? What does the core of the Church think of it? Is it a dangerous place due to natural phenomena or the actions of sentient beings?" Gloria asked.
