There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!
Chapter 172: New Addition To The Gang

Chapter 172: New Addition To The Gang

Olyn opened his eyes with a little hum. It’s like he just had a very comfortable sleep.

But when the surroundings around him registered to his somewhat sober head, he realized that something was off.

"Why is it so dark here?!" He loudly blurted out. He was about to start to panic when his ears caught the sound of rustling not that far from him.

"Argghhh so noisy..." he heard the familiar sound of Rean beside him. "Let me rest first, my whole body hurts because of research."

Then followed by the pained grunts of the men from the distance.

Still a little disoriented, Olyn sat up and tried to make out what is beyond the darkness but to no avail.

"Where is this place?" He uttered to himself as he cupped his forehead with his right hand. There is a feeling in his chest that hints to him that he might be missing something or someone.

Olyn tried to retrace his memories, listed them in his head and the realization hit him.

"My Lord!"

"What is it? How was your sleep?" The familiar voice broke through the darkness at the same time the light pushed away the darkness.

Olyn had to adjust his eyes to the blinding light but this does not impede the excitement that he feels whenever he is with his lord whom he served.

After a while, Olyn once again opened his eyes and now, he could clearly see the image of the Moon Elf Lord.

Olyn didn’t waste time. He stood up and ran towards the Moon Elf Lord.

Luis didn’t hesitate to give Olyn a big bear hug.

"Were you startled by the darkness? I apologize, Baku’s throat is pretty solid so the light has no chance to shine inside. But don’t worry, we are almost back now."

~~~

Luis and his company are finally of the Shane Greenwoods.

At the same time, the compound magic of illusion and hypnosis spells that are cast on his subordinates had vanished.

One by one, his subordinates showed signs of waking up.

But this doesn’t seem to signal that everything is okay because the problem was far from over.

"Xerxes. Xagrien. I’m telling you. Don’t ever team up on assaulting my subordinates in the future." Luis’ eyes were like a dead fish. His tone was devoid of any emotion.

The Moon Elf Lord’s palms were outstretched and emitting green light. He is currently using his Healer’s Touch on six of his subordinates as all of them- well, except Olyn- are suffering major body aches.

Luis simply refused to go back when they were like this. As someone who calls the shots, Luis forced everyone to take a brief stop. Hence the situation right now.

Xagrien was silently standing beside him looking like a wronged child. No response was made but Luis could feel the down aura emanating from his lover.

In his peripheral vision, he could almost imagine a golden retriever sulking while facing the wall.

Luis had to make at least ten lip bites to stop himself from smiling.

’Fuck, Xagrien! You are too big! How dare you act cute like this!’

On the other hand, Xerxes, who is currently dressed in a cloak that covers his head, confidently stood on his ground.

"I will take note of that."

"Oh, yes, please. Thank you very much," Luis sarcastically said.

"My lord, do you mind if I ask this man’s identity?" Nicol asked. Despite being a four-star warrior, the two are suffering body pains the moment they wake up.

This shows just how strong the electricity that’s been used.

That is why he is reprimanding his lover.

"He is Xerxes, the guardian who’s been guarding the Heart of the Forest and a new additional to the gang" Luis promptly answered.

This was followed by a lengthy rundown of what happened while he was treating his subordinates one by one. Of course, the mentioned events were handpicked and the narrative was noticeably shorter than it was supposed to be.

"So that is the reason why not much information relating to the Inner Circle is available. I understand now," Nicol formally faced the cloaked man and slightly bowed his head. "I apologize for barging in."

Xerxes was caught off guard by this unexpected apology. Are moon elves actually this polite?

Well, their lord may not be graceful like this one but he must admit that he is pleasant... at the very least.

"I am only acting based on my old friend’s request. And besides, the Moon Elf Lord greatly helped us."

"Uhmm. My lord?" Nicol turned to Luis who is now busy attending to Ilian. "Where is the Heart of the Forest?"

"He is just around the forest. Flying," Luis momentarily halted his work. "Are you going to say your apologies?"

The past deeds of his great great great grandfather have always been Nicol’s emotional burden.

Luis doesn’t understand such an attitude because he is not like that.

He would never ever let even his parents’ mistakes define him and his future. But that is only Luis’ stance.

Nicol is his person and as his boss, Luis could only try to understand him.

"Hey, little tree spirit! We will leave you now! Stop your little excursion and come back here!" The Moon Elf Lord’s voice was magnified by nature’s energy. It reverberated through the entire forest, making even trees with thick trunks vibrate.

"Let’s wait and see."

Not too long later, a sound of energetic rustling of the leaves was suddenly heard.

They all tilted their heads up to see the source of this sound.

There, they saw a peculiar sight that left them speechless.

"What is that?" Ilian managed to croak while his eyes were glued to the descending creature in front of them.

"That is the new body that I made for the Heart of the Forest," Luis took the liberty to answer, full of pride. "It looks pretty good right?"

The Winged Serpent that is made of wood and leaves hit the ground and it slithered directly towards Luis and it spoke with great enthusiasm. "I am here now, Great Moon Elf Lord."
