There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord! -
Chapter 56: Impromptu Meeting
Chapter 56: Impromptu Meeting
"We’ve sent the aerial legion to investigate and monitor the entire Amber Forest if there are any root crawler sightings. It is done as a measure against the possible infestation in our entire land." Legland’s explanation was heard in the moon elf lord’s room.
It was almost dawn. Luis simply cannot force himself to sleep knowing that there are probably thousands of moon elves camping out to see him.
The two leading figures of the moon elf race seemed to be standing outside his room as a guard. They immediately attended to the moon elf lord when they observed that Luis is a bit restless.
Therefore, this impromptu meeting happened.
Nicol and Legland are standing in front of Luis. As they recount all the things that the moon elf lord may have missed.
It can’t be helped since Luis’ hands are already full by the time they met. The moon elf lord requested for the legion to receive a bonus for helping them out. It was of great service of them to get them out of Shane Greenwoods because this time, he can openly talk about his discovery.
"That is a smart decision! So what is the result of their investigation?" Luis cocked his head. He suddenly felt that something’s off in his surroundings.
Legland was about to give his answer when Luis abruptly raised his right hand to make him stop. "Who is in there? Stop eavesdropping and just enter the room, will you?"
Luis felt a familiar presence standing outside his window so he just treated it nonchalantly.
On the other hand, both Legland and Nicol are stupefied. How come they didn’t notice it? They are vigilant and as a four-star warrior, their senses are more sensitive compared to others.
Who could has such high-tier stealth?
Luis didn’t need to tell it twice and a figure managed to cram himself in the opened window.
"You are aware that this window is not yours or mine right?" Luis deadpanned after seeing some cracks in the stone frame of the window.
Xagrien didn’t answer immediately and he swatted the flower curtain out of his handsome face.
A light assaulted the eyes of the face-con moon elf lord. Damn it. Seems like his fascination to this guy is off the charts.
"Pardon me for that, moon elf lord," Xagrien answered in a rather serious tone and with his usual serious face. "I am glad that you are doing fine."
Luis just raised his right dark eyebrows at this.
’Huh? Can you say that in a more convincing way?’ Luis uttered in his mind, pursing his lips.
Legland and Nicol are looking at the two back and forth as if they are watching a tennis game. They had seen how protective this male warrior was to the moon elf lord but they didn’t expect Xagrien to be too familiar with the moon elf lord.
Olyn, on the other side, clicked his tongue. Secretly expressing his despise towards the arrival of the new presence.
The moon elf lord didn’t notice the intriguing stares of the two DILFS and the disapproval of his number one servant.
Luis looked at Xagrien and the two are locked in a stare down. After seeing that the male god doesn’t have any plans to leave or speak, Luis snappily retracted his stare. He asked Legland to continue.
"There are faint traces of root crawlers, my lord." Legland abruptly continued. "However, they hardly ever see one. It must be possible that they are oddly concentrated in the Shane Greenwoods."
Luis’ juvenile face was instantly plastered with a smirk. "Oh? That is quite a sharp deduction."
Nicol was observing the moon elf lord with his keen eyes so he obviously saw the momentary glint in Luis’ eyes.
The moon elf lord doesn’t seem to be surprised at all.
’My lord must have reached the bottom of this incident.’ The head priest thought. However, he bit his tongue and decided to wait for the moon elf lord’s explanation.
Nicol considers himself a faithful subordinate and he thinks that he is in no position to question the moon elf lord about his decisions. Everything else is acceptable to ask the moon elf lord but definitely not his decisions.
Legland, the sexy DILF. Ruffled his blond hair while his ears become red due to the sudden praise from the lord. He uttered his thanks then he continued his report.
’Oh, how sinful this married man.’ Luis can only say in the deepest and darkest part of his mind.
His glance inevitably landed on Xagrien and his crooked mind is instantly straightened. ’What the hell?’
"The legion dispersed to inform the clans to be vigilant about the invasion of the root crawlers. We also made sure to explain the current situation that we have and I asked them to pick select warriors to cooperate with us."
Luis blinked twice, "Then why suddenly all of them are here?" He doesn’t mean to raise his tone to a few decibels but he simply cannot help it. Luis is shocked the moment he hears it from Olyn! That is tens of thousands moon elves!
"That is because of that sudden phenomenon, my lord," Nicol answered this time. "They felt your energy from afar so they had this urge to meet you."
"That thing, huh." Luis rubbed his chin. He really needs to consult his Inheritance for an explanation.
But the time! It was never enough! The moon elf lord can only sigh. Should he overuse his Revitalize Skill on him? Maybe he can use the Morning Wood Skill Card to mummify himself once he dies due to overwork.
"Would you like to meet them, my lord?" Olyn asked Luis.
The moon elf lord stared out the window and saw that the sky was still dark.
"Maybe later. Let them rest for now." Luis answered after weighing the pros and cons.
"My lord, you are considerate and benevolent as always!" Olyn exclaimed. The bearer’s brown eyes are showing signs of tearing up again.
"Oh come on, don’t cry, Olyn." Luis raised his hand to rub the side of his number one servant’s eyes.
"Ahem!" All of their attention is caught by this sudden coughing fit. Luis stopped before he can even touch Olyn.
And Olyn eyed the male moon elf with disapproval.
"Oh, Xagrien. You are still here." Luis lied. Of course, he knows that the male is present. It isn’t twice or thrice that he stole a glance at the guy.
Xagrien, on the other hand, stiffened. Had this bearer forgotten about him? For some reason, he doesn’t like the idea at all.
His expression slightly darken for a moment before it resumed to his usual paralyzed face.
"I am here to ask about something, moon elf lord," Xagrien stated in a serious tone.
’Do you think I am a search engine?’ Luis tried his best to be sarcastic in his head or else he will sound too enthusiastic if he answers right away.
"Okay, shoot it." Xagrien looked at the other people in the room for a moment. Upon seeing that the bearer doesn’t mind the others’ hearing it, he took a deep breath then he told the Ilian’s observation that night when they are attacked by the root crawlers.
"Do you remember that the root crawlers resurfaced that night when Nereen, one of our comrades, was killed by those creatures?"
Luis nodded as he remembered the details. "You guys found it weird that the root crawlers suddenly attacked them will they are above ground, right?"
Xagrien was caught off guard at first. This bearer is quick when it comes to these kinds of things. He looked at Luis from head to toe, this is quite a surprise for him.
"What the f?" Luis is strangely offended by this scrutinizing stare.
Olyn who saw this gritted his teeth and mustered his self-restraint to stop himself from blurting out offensive words in front of the lord he was serving.
Legland and Nicol stood there as a mute witnesses to the drama that unfolds.
"Nothing, moon elf lord." Xagrien’s quick response. "I am just in awe of how ahead your thoughts are."
Olyn, as the number one brain-dead fan of Luis added oil to the fire. "Well, that is something to be expected from, my moon elf lord! He is the most perfect among all the lords that ever exist in our history."
Luis is obviously not convinced. He, himself is a seasoned liar so of course it’s easy for him to know it.
He rolled his eyes in Xagrien’s direction. What is wrong with this male god? It’s too hard to read him! Luis has the urge to pinch the male’s nipples again to vent.
The moon elf lord then turned to Olyn, "I really appreciate your compliments, Olyn. It’s good for my pride so keep it up in the future!"
Olyn nodded and expressed his commitment to continue blowing rainbow farts in the future.
Xagrien, who was once again forgotten by the moon elf lord, butted into the two bearer’s brotherly world. "Do you perhaps know the reason behind this, moon elf lord?"
"Young man, I don’t think you should ask such a question to the moon elf lord." Nicol was quick to stop Xagrien. That answer must have coincided with what the moon elf lord has found out. There should be a plan if the moon elf lord is keeping it a secret.
"No, it is okay Nicol. I don’t mind answering that really," the moon elf lord said.
’Eh?’ Nicol stopped for a few good moments. It’s okay to inquire about the moon elf lord’s plans? He was wrong to insinuate that his lord is keeping it a secret?
Nicol is down to the spiral of self-doubt at this moment.
The moon elf lord is oblivious to the impact that he caused with just a simple answer to the head priest.
Luis is aware that Xagrien must be emotionally invested in this issue because it concerns their friend. The moon elf lord turned on his serious face. His next words were enough to cause a mini-heart attack on the four.
"No, I don’t know the reason why they suddenly attacked you when you were on the surface. But I am telling you that this incident is a deliberate design by a certain someone."
