Chapter 567: Return
Chapter 567: Return
While Minos was at the Miller family headquarters, Mendy Stokes was at this moment in her hometown, taking care of the matter related to sending someone towards the seat of House Hayes.
After she departed from Dry City, this woman returned to her family as soon as possible. She wanted to inform her father and the elders about the deal that Minos wished to make with the Stokes family. And after passing this information on, it hadn’t taken long for the patriarch to inform his daughter of the family’s decision.
As expected, they had accepted the deal with Minos!
In fact, upon finding out about Minos’ interest in doing business with them and the possibilities they would have, the strongest elders of this power had been delighted about such a thing. After all, they all wished to have more strength to be even more prosperous within their family and state!
And as people who were members of only a medium-sized organization, they were very eager to increase their influence, something that would only happen with more experts or more powerful experts!
Hence, Mendy was already preparing to arrange a skilled spiritual judge so that the contracts that would need to be signed could be validated as soon as possible.
She knew that in Dry City, there was no such individual, and since Minos would not sign such things there, she and her family had the responsibility to plan this part of the agreement and when it would happen.
On the other hand, before she finally left for Dry City to communicate to Minos that everything had worked out and this young man could go and sign such agreements in the City of Waters, she was settling the Hayes family matter right now.
That was the essential part of their agreement with the Black Plains, and as such, this woman wanted to resolve this as soon as possible. That way, when the Soul Contracts were signed, House Stokes could immediately send their members to Dry City!
Anyway, at this moment, there were three people in front of her, two men and a woman, each of them dressed in different armor, but which had the same symbol.
The three were standing in front of her, in respectful positions, as they listened to the voice of this lady of the Stokes family.
“Bill, Hector, Carly, I have a critical mission for you three.” She said as she looked at the three Spiritual Generals in front of her. “I want you to go out on a secret mission and deliver a message to a certain person in Primrose.”
“Primrose?” One of them asked in a low voice, realizing that Mendy wanted to send them toward the Hayes family headquarters. “Miss Mendy, who should we meet in that place? Don’t tell me it’s someone from the Hayes family?”
“That’s right. I want you to deliver that message to Vivian Hayes.” Mendy calmly said as she tossed a sealed white parchment in the direction of the woman who had asked the question earlier. “But as I said, do it in secret. Don’t use family symbols, don’t talk about where you came from to people other than Vivian Hayes.”
Mendy obviously wouldn’t send someone powerful toward the Hayes family headquarters, a place observed by the Chambers family due to the ongoing war between the two organizations. Because of this, she was sending these three people to that place, two of them at level 44 and one at level 45.
Such a collective force could be considered negligible, considering the war that had been going on in this kingdom. However, this was enough to not draw as much attention from those involved in such a conflict, as well as the message would have chances to get into Vivian’s hands faster.
Just for this reason, she was sending these three and not stronger people!
Gulp!
The three swallowed their saliva, as they felt that this mission should not be easy to accomplish and even involved several dangers. However, before they could think more about this aspect of this task ordered by Mendy, the three of them heard that woman’s voice once again.
“After you complete this mission, I will give each of you 10,000 low-grade crystals and let you learn a Black-grade technique.”
“All right! Count on us, Miss Mendy!” The three said in delight as their hearts began to beat faster, and they all felt more confident in accomplishing such a thing
“Good. You can leave when you feel ready. But do it as soon as possible… No one knows what can happen in this war.”
The three then looked at each other for a moment before finally departing from that spot Mendy was in.
“We’re leaving tonight!” The woman said in a confident tone.
“Okay, it’s going to be a little difficult, but the sooner we accomplish such a mission, the sooner we can get those rewards!”
…
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
In that time that had passed, Minos and the Miller family had finally reached a final agreement, after this young man had signed Soul Contracts with the leaders of such an organization.
Abby’s family elders had not taken long to decide on such a fate before, and everything had been relatively easy and quick.
But this was not strange to Minos. After all, he knew how tempting it was to have better techniques, especially for old people who had less time to cultivate.
Such individuals would necessarily have lower cultivation speeds than people younger than them who use techniques of the same type as them. Therefore, the older a person in this region was, the greater the chances of accepting deals like the one he had suggested.
At the end of the day, living even longer was the main point of cultivation.
As such, it would be difficult for a powerful regional cultivator to refuse chances like that!
And since Minos had not behaved like a bloodthirsty lunatic, but the opposite of that, like a reasonable person who would not attack without being provoked, those people had become much more secure about this relationship.
At the very least, the young Stuart had one of the qualities admired by the leaders of this great trading organization in the Brown Kingdom.
Anyway, after this had been settled, Minos and his group were now preparing to leave this town to return to Dry City.
However, unlike when he and his two girlfriends arrived at this location, this time, they would travel with six other people.
Two of them were Abby’s parents, whom Minos had invited to spend some time in Dry City, where they could have the opportunity to learn better techniques.
On the other hand, the other four people in that group were ones designated by the Miller family leaders to fill those positions that Minos had negotiated with them.
These individuals would stay in Dry City for a year to learn Silver-grade techniques, while they would be at Minos’ disposal to participate in fights, exercises, and so on.
Three of those four were Spiritual Kings, nobles of the Miller family, people between levels 53 and 55. And the last one was a young man of the younger generation, a person about ten years older than Abby, someone who was at level 46.
But although this young man was considered a good seed in the Miller family, he had been quite humble in the presence of the people, especially with Minos. And unlike Cole, he had not dared to court Abby, whom he had not even looked at…
However, not only had he been humble, but so had the other three Spiritual Kings. After all, considering how much Minos was offering to the Miller family and especially to them, who would be the first to enjoy this deal, they already respected him tremendously!
And so, the group of nine humans and three beasts left Odella for the Dry City.
Minos, Ruth, and Abby were on White’s back while those other people were traveling overland, following the shadow of that great eagle closely.
“Ahh, we will finally be able to return…” Ruth commented in a low voice as she felt the strong wind on her face. “I wonder if something happened in Dry City?” She asked Minos.
The young man then smiled and said. “If we have not been unlucky enough for another family to find us, then it is unlikely… But it won’t be long before that happens!”
