Chapter 678: The Young Boy’s Condition (1/2)
After listening to Chief Valencia's suggestion, Leon agreed with a nod.
Unless the Battle God Palace were the kinds of people who repay gratitude with malice, they would be sure to repay handsomely, given their status.
”I will handle the people from the Battle God Palace. Chief Valencia can take care of the rest,” Leon shortly stated before adding, ”Feel free to call me if there are any more troublemakers.”
”Naturally, Young Master Leonhardt. We will be relying on you,” Chief Valencia nodded.
Shortly after, Leon lept off the wall and landed in front of the Battle God Palace's group before he calmly said, ”Come with me. I'll take a look at your young master inside the tribe.”
”You are the Divine Doctor? You are much younger than I had imagined,” the group leader commented with surprise.
Nevertheless, the group leader raised his hand and gestured his people to follow him after the young man.
”Abilities are not determined by one's age,” Leon simply stated before taking the lead to guide the group into the tribe.
”That's true.” The group leader nodded.
If their young master had not have been envied by the heavens, he would have been the most remarkable talent the Battle God Palace had seen within a hundred years—if not greater.
At the same time, Chief Valencia spoke to the rest of the crowd, ”Everyone, follow me. My tribesmen will get you sorted into your accommodations. But, of course, please be mindful of your behaviors.”
Chief Valencia had a hint of warning at the end.
Nevertheless, while looking at the big crowd outside the walls, Chief Valencia could not help but think that the Darkmoon Tribe has become a transit point for the secret realm opening.
If the Darkmoon Tribe had not suffered significant losses in the Bone Calamity previously, it would have been difficult to settle so many visitors at once, not to mention more were still on the way.
”I wonder how many Battle Masters will be gathered for the Eternal Night Secret Realm this time around...” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman muttered thoughtfully while watching the steady flow of people pouring into the tribe.
”How many Battle Masters participated in the last opening of the secret realm, Senior?” Aria asked.
”Hm?”
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman suddenly paused his gaze on Aria before he responded with an apology, ”I'm sorry, you are...?”
”I am Aria Rivera, Senior,” Aria introduced before saying, ”But Senior can just call me Aria. I am Leon's w–wife.”
”Young Master Leonhardt's?” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman muttered before he thoughtfully commented, ”The wife of Young Master Leonhardt would surely not be ordinary either.”
”Senior has overpraised me,” Aria replied humbly.
The One-Eye Venerable Shaman simply smiled without any intention to pry further.
”The last two openings were missed due to its location being held in the heart of the demon's territory,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman began to answer Aria's previous question.
”However, in the last opening before that, there were over 2000 Battle Masters that joined, and only 1300 of them made it back from the secret realm alive.”
”Given it had been nearly 300 years since then, the number of Battle Masters joining this time around will most likely be much greater,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stated.
”I see... Thank you for explaining, Senior,” Aria said before muttering softly, ”Much greater than 2000 Battle Masters, huh?”
'According to the power system of the Infertile Plains, Early-rank Battle Masters possesses 500-thousand jin of strength while Extremity-rank Battle Masters has up to 1.5-million jin of strength...'
In other words, that was equivalent to 2000 Transcendents between the Mid-rank 1 to Early-rank 2!
'This is quite the force to be reckoned with. If the Crawford Kingdom had this kind of military power back then, there would never have been any rebellion,' Aria silently thought.
Suddenly, she understood her husband's purpose in the Infertile Plains.
'If it is hubby's wish to subjugate these people and bolster the strength of the empire back in the Human Domain, it's my duty to help him realize of!'
Shortly after, Aria began to silently ponder how she could buy their loyalty or win their hearts to improve their impression of the Crawford Empire.

Meanwhile, Leon brought the Battle God Palace's group back to Barrenrock Courtyard, where it was free from the crowd and their prying gazes.
After pausing his steps in the center of the open courtyard, Leon turned back and calmly said, ”I'll take a look at your young master here.”
”Understood.”
