Chapter 115: Jessed Coconuts and Shredded Feelings (Part 2)
Translated by satellite
On the way back, Shath and emotions had been exhausted already at the waterfall
Jesse sat at the other end of the carriage and closed his eyes, as if nothing had happened
An invisible barrier seee into two separate worlds, facing each other but forever unable to touch
The carriage kept continued ather around the the scenery in a deep sea of white mist until it was impossible to tell whether direction they were headed in But the carriage continued onwards at the same steady pace
Shamal remembered the first time he came here, that year he lost to Jesse But back then, he had been tied up and led up the mountain on foot If it weren't for the fact that he had already been here before, he would never have iined that such a heavenly place was hidden within these dense layers of fog
As if confirhts, he suddenly heard the snap of a riding crop landing sharply on the horses' backside
The horses suddenly sped up, racing ale along It alun to fly
The rolling waves ofon endlessly…until suddenly, the carriage burst out froain shi+ned brightly into the carriage
Sha a bit as they blinked against the sunlight
The carriage continued steadily onwards onto a wide, flat road On either sides ide expanses of lush, green far as far as the eye could see
But these weren't farmlands for ordinary crops
He still remembered the first ti, half-threatening voice These were the Bone Feed, planted and watered with the blood of animals (1)
He didn't believe it at first-- until he saw the cri down into the fields
”This is the realm of warlocks” Jesse had warned him back then
Back then, theto hih the Lord of Genesis was an invisiblethe most power and influence were actually the warlocks For their ic was sinister and vicious, i, washi+ng, or even just breathing, they had too many ways to hunt you down
Thus, in order not to bring trouble to Locktini and the rest of the Faerie Realm, he subconsciously hid his identity and his real nae slowed
The fields before thee
Standing in front of the village was an old man hite hair and a black cloak His eyes were hidden beneath thick layers of white eyebrows and his long beard was extreround
The carriage stopped Jesse opened his eyes, pushed open the doors, and stepped out
The old man walked to him and bowed low ”My lord” (2)
Jesse ently with one hand ”Elder Gul, you don't have to coates every ti the scenery here and just happened to see you arriving” As he spoke, he turned to Shaet out He smiled and said ”Welcome back, Shamal”
Shamal felt his entire body freeze in shock, then felt so ashaht there He hesitated a e and quietly replied ”Elder Gul”
Elder Gul stroked his beard, then nodded and spoke with a satisfied s as you're back, all is well” He looked over at Jesse ”My lord, I've had men clean up that troubleso andinside is still in place exactly as it was left”
Shamal lifted his head and stared up at Jesse in shock
Jesse's face remained completely ie
Elder Gul followed behind hiesture behind his back
Sha at the corner of his eyes
Other than Jesse, Elder Gul was the one who treated hi his time in the warlock realed to hi histock because he was a faerie and a slave Back then, Elder Gul often helped him chase them off Thus, other than Jesse, Elder Gul was the one that Shauilty towards here in the warlock realm
”The Shamal I kneas a mischievous little trickster that would ie whenever he was bullied Not a poor, sniffling crybaby” Elder Gul said quietly
Shamal was a bit embarrassed He'd had plenty of time to mature in the thousand years that passed, but Elder Gul still treated him exactly the same way he always had a thousand years earlier
Jesse's return to the village attracted the gazes of nized several familiar faces, but their expressions were absolutely not friendly But perhaps they feared the two Godly oodwill in their eyes, they didn't utter a single shout his way
After Jesse had finished greeting them all, he turned without another word and walked towards the largest house in the village
The warlocks on a whole have never been particularly focused on aesthetics, and instead valued practicality In Sha before him could only be described aesthetically as a mountain of dirt But he would also bet that even his blades of wind or Locktini's e This was built strong enough to withstand even the most powerful tornadoes
This was the so-called largest house in the village, but it was really just the size of an average man's villa And this was supposed to be the residence of their lord
Back when he first saw it, he couldn't help but sneer a bit inside
However, Jesse turned and didn't seem to be headed towards his house, but rather towards another ser residence in the background, this one-roo seemed almost toy-sized, but Sha one This was the building that Sha to teach hin was Finally, Jesse was forced to help him renovate the place
As they walked into the house, he saw indeed that everything was exactly as he had left it
Even the placeed
He looked up An alar on the wall across fro directly at the seven, just as it had been when he left
”Clean up and settle in” Jesse said slowly ”I'll pick you up in a bit”
