Chapter 817 - The Long Awaited Calmness
Yet he couldn\'t see any sign of his master, or even see those eyes clearly. He only got the feeling of them being there and nothing more.
"Will we land over the sect and wait there?" Doaf asked after long minutes of flying, "what about that traitor?"
"We won\'t," Arthur slowly said, "we will take our hide somewhere near."
"We... won\'t take part in that fight?" Doaf was surprised by that. He thought Arthur was going there to take charge of the sect and win this war.
"I\'m just being cautious," Arthur said and didn\'t care to explain more. His mind was busy thinking of that feeling.
He hated the thought of being watched and didn\'t know who was doing that.
"Cautious of what?" Doaf on the other hand didn\'t drop the matter.
"From any reinforcements coming from the higher realm," Arthur had to give him a suitable answer to make him shut up for the rest of the journey.
However he was very optimistic about that.
"What happened to the crow?" Doaf suddenly asked after a few minutes of silent flying, "I can\'t see him anywhere. Did he return to attack that army?"
Arthur could only take a deep breath before Doaf continued to say:
"No, if he was there then you should have informed Amera and Nicole about his presence there, right?"
Arthur turned to him and for the first time he realized how annoying he was. He wanted to ask when he started to be chattery like this, but he refrained from doing so.
"He preferred to take a break," Arthur slowly said.
"Did he retreat?" Doaf asked in shock, "but how can he leave this world? We all came here with you and can\'t leave to the higher realms except after returning to that damned academy."
Arthur thought back about where everything started. That useless tournament now lost all its importance in his eyes.
He would return and simply open the doors of hell and unleash it over the entire academy. He wouldn\'t let such a cancer spread near his own academy.
Plus they already crossed all lines with him with all their machinations and dirty tricks. They thought themselves high and mighty by allying themselves with the lycans.
But even the lycans couldn\'t stop him in their higher realms, how could they possibly do that in his own low realm?
He already decided, the moment he would return back would be the moment marking the end of that hideous academy.
And then he would think about what to do with his own academy.
"He just went to cool off his head," Arthur said while he was lost in thoughts about his plans for the future, after he returned to his world.
"Do you know where he is?" Doaf asked and this time Arthur was on the verge of exploding on him.
"How can I possibly know such a thing?" Arthur tried to maintain his calm but despite his intentions his voice came slightly higher than normal.
"I just wanted to go and help in convincing him to come back," Doaf gave him a weird glance, feeling odd from his strange reaction.
"I can tell you the direction he went off," Arthur pointed to the east, "go there, he didn\'t leave for more than half an hour already."
Doaf gazed at the direction before returning to Arthur.
"Do you think he\'ll listen to me?"
And this time Arthur gave him a real warning gaze before suddenly shouting:
"Gege!"
"Woosh!"
And the next moment a portal appeared and swallowed Doaf, taking him by force inside Arthur\'s garden world.
"Phew, finally a moment of peace," Arthur could heave a final sigh of relief while enjoying this moment of silence all of sudden.
\'He was noisy,\' the golden dragon couldn\'t help but sigh in relief.
\'But this way he won\'t be able to get any bird\'s wings from his team,\' Gege said.
\'Ding! As if they can reach their posts this fast,\' the system sneered.
Arthur could only smile helplessly. He just got rid of one annoyance and now he has three more.
"How are things at the sect?" he tried to shift the topic to a meaningful topic.
\'Nothing worthy,\' Gege said in a bored tone, \'those people are just tracking Deem and Gor. They never planned to do anything to them it seemed.\'
"That\'s good news," Arthur nodded, "I don\'t want them to do anything at all to my two precious men."
\'I bet they\'ll move once the war starts,\' the golden dragon suddenly said.
\'Ding! If so, we need to be ready to move and help.\'
\'I can move you to anyplace inside the sect,\' Gege said in confidence, \'so rely on my portals for that.\'
\'But you forgot,\' the golden dragon said, \'there are many arrays preventing any teleportation or portals in there.\'
"Send a message to Deem and Gor then," Arthur made up his mind, "tell them to keep a backdoor opened for us to enter using portals."
\'Won\'t this expose you?\' Gege asked in doubt.
\'Don\'t worry,\' the golden dragon said, \'as long as he wouldn\'t show up his face in the open, no one would doubt anything.\'
Arthur agreed with what the golden dragon said. "Any news about that ground army?" he asked, "or any other army around?"
\'So far things are looking the same to me,\' Gege said in a bored tone, \'there is nothing worthy to say.\'
"Don\'t be like that," Arthur couldn\'t help but laugh, "soon you\'ll be too busy to not be able to chat with me."
\'We\'ll see,\' Gege wasn\'t the type to sit idle and do nothing.
In fact despite Arthur depending entirely on her for the recent events, she didn\'t feel any offense or pressure by this.
In fact she felt greatly amused and excited by all these tasks.
"I just hope things move on the way I anticipate," Arthur muttered to himself while flying directly towards the direction of the sect.
Yet something deep inside him kept bugging about his next enemy\'s move. He hoped it would be nothing, but he had this feeling that things wouldn\'t go smoothly the way he wanted.
