There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!
Chapter 60: The Great Hustle of the Thirteen Clans (4)

Chapter 60: The Great Hustle of the Thirteen Clans (4)

The First Inter-Clan Conference continued. But this time, they moved forward to the second agenda. How to eliminate the root crawlers.

Luis took his time to describe the method that they executed to lure out the root crawlers. Of course, he fed them with reasons and logic to convince them like an experienced scammer.

He also didn’t forget to explain the outstanding effects of the Golden Belladonna. The poison that is more venomous than his snake friend.

He himself was pleasantly surprised by the horrible effects of its gas on the root crawlers.

Initially, he was expecting that those creatures will be rendered into a comatose state just like what Olyn said but it turns out that it was more terrible when it was used to those critters.

The root crawlers are now corroded lumps of flesh when Rion went there to check.

But these findings also solidified the fact that moon elves have superb body resistance and Luis is more than happy to discover that.

"The matter of dealing with these pests has been discussed with your leaders earlier and all of them have expressed their agreement with this set-up." ’Yes, in the face of my being the moon elf lord.’ Luis bitterly added in his mind.

"We have decided that we will repeat the same drill that we have done to eliminate the root crawlers lurking underground. All clans will work together to do it efficiently."

The moon elves all nodded in chorus. Apparently, they bought Luis’ hard selling skills that he honed by doing a 9 to 5 work.

"That being said, we will divide all the participating warriors from every clan into ten groups. Then in each group, they are expected to work with warriors from other clans to clear one of the existing ten sections of the tunnel." Luis then waved the map that Manulus made.

A familiar bearer raised his hand. It was Olyn’s mother.

"Yes, Aryn," Luis signaled him to stand up and Aryn did.

He first bowed his head as a sign of respect to their lord then he carefully worded his question.

"Pardon me for interrupting your words, my lord. I just want to clarify. So basically, we will not solidly work as a clan?" Aryn is fiddling with his fingers. Totally different from the loud persona that Luis saw when he was ’bonding’ with his friend.

The moon elf lord nodded. Stunning the 50,000 moon elves who were anticipating the lord’s answer.

"That is indeed the case. A single group will consist of Fire, Earth, Water and Wind moon elves to efficiently and safely attain the set goal, clearing the section that you are in charge of."

"Therefore, I expect that all of you will cooperate well with each other." Luis smiled at the surprised crowd.

’Ah, there it is.’ Luis whispered at the back of his mind. As his expectations turned into a reality.

Like a fuse, it kicks start the endless inquiries from the crowd.

"Will it be random, my lord?"

"Your group mates? Yes, it will be."

"Is it possible to choose the clans that we will cooperate with?"

"No, and I just told you that it will be random."

The so-called conference turned into a messy class discussion with Luis as the stressed-out teacher.

Questions are flying everywhere. Murmurings are heard in all directions of the open field.

Luis bit his tongue to forbid himself from saying ’as expected’. Although in reality, this reaction is within his calculation.

’Well, most of these clans have little to zero communication with each other especially in the Amber Forest where they are wide apart from each other. Plus some of them could also be enemies who are ready to slit others’ throats. Yet here I am saying that they need to cover each other’s back. It’s a method that spells troublesome for them,’ Luis thought as he is watching the vivid expressions on the moon elves.

Some are expressing disbelief, some silently expressing their agreement and some... are discreetly pressing down their dissent.

Which were all normal.

As a leader, he is well aware that not everyone will just say yes to his decision so he didn’t offended at all.

’Well, I will just memorize your faces for now.’

"My lord," Luis is not sure when Nicol approached him.

"I still think that this arrangement will not be easy for these moon elves," the head priest whispered to him.

"Well, it will be challenging but it is better to start exposing them to each other as early as now."

Seeing that the lord is taking this nonchalantly, Nicol tried to reconsider it and he found it reasonable since the moon elf lord plans to reunite the entire race.

The head priest eyed the murmuring crowd with a tinge of mischief.

’The thirteen clans will surely become lively starting today.’

"My lord," Old Kier, raised his arm to catch the attention of Luis.

"Yes, elder?"

"You said ’participating warriors’, does that mean that there are some who will fail to join you?"

Old Kier is more concerned about this. Even though he is already an old bone and can no longer fight, he still wanted to help the lord in any way he can.

Luis was surprised at first so he took time to observe the hopeful gaze of the old moon elf.

The fine lines that were carved by time embellish the honest eyes of the elderly moon elf.

All he can see was the pure desire to help him and it is making him feel fluttery in his chest. Absolutely not in the sexual and romantic sense though.

The moon elf lord flashed a genuine smile this time.

"Fail to join me? There’s no such thing. We will need someone to stay and put up defensive walls and barricades around the Shane Greenwoods." Luis explained.

Old Kier and the others whose combat is not their strong suit are obviously relieved.

"The situation that we have is tantamount to war. Therefore, any kind of help is very much welcome." Luis declared in a serious voice.

"The group who will initiate the attack will serve as a vanguard and the ones who will stay here will serve as the guardian."

Jiro, Olyn’s childhood friend asked from the side of Hyon Clan.

"Then my lord, are there any requirements to be the vanguard?"

The young warrior is now fully recovered and he looks stronger this time.

"Well, three-star warriors who’ve got excellent physical strength and stamina are ideal for this role."

"How about the plate, moon elf lord?"

"The plate?" Luis tilted his head in confusion. The moon elf lord didn’t even care if the white chick who was resting on his seat flew and landed on the top of his head. "A healthy plate?"

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The murmuring stopped and all eyes are pointed at the moon elf lord.

All of a sudden, Luis was faced with the most unbearable silence in his life. He kind of knew that something might be wrong with what he said but he is hopelessly clueless!

He can faintly hear a snicker from his back. The confused moon elf lord looked back and he saw Xagrien who was tracing his philtrum and looking somewhere else.

This damn male god!

"Ehem," Legland, who somehow got the gist of the moon elf lord’s state with his exceptional Emotional Quotient, cleared his throat and answered the inquiry.

"A warrior who possesses the Heavenly Spirit plate at the Foundation level is encouraged to participate."

’Who am I? Where am I?’

’Heavenly Spirit plate? Foundation level? Can you eat them?’

Luis definitely lost it at this point. Probably all of the features of his face are drawn with question marks.

’But really, seriously, what are those?’ His knowledge as the moon elf lord is being tested and he never felt this stupid ever!

Nicol approached him once again and whispered. "That is one of the classifications of plates, my lord."

"I’m sorry but who made it that way?"

"The temple, my lord. It was a rite of passage for young moon elves. They will hold the Lunscope artefact in the temple to assess the plates that they are born with and then the results will be classified based on how solid and well-structured their plates are. "

"The moon elf lord doesn’t need to undergo that since your whole body is composed of nature’s energy, my lord," Nicol provided a lengthy explanation.

"Why–" ’Can’t I remember anything about that from the Inheritance?’ Luis can somehow feel his back drenched.

Luis somehow cannot muster the strength to continue that question. The memories that he got from the Inheritance are playing in his mind like a fast-forwarded movie. However, despite his effort, none of them is showing any information about this so-called rite!

All the memories that he got from his predecessors are all about training, wars, magic, sex, and fights!

’Is this what they meant when they said that even the world is against them?’

The moon elf lord is hit with a ruthless realization; all the moon elf lords that came before him are self-centered bastards!

"My lord, you are getting pale and sweaty! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No, I am just... feeling guilty..." These moon elves are faithful subordinates to a fault. It makes him wanna cry as he imagine how their ancestors work tirelessly, practically enslaving themselves to please the moon elf lords who don’t even care about knowing them.

Those abhorrent bastards! Luis’ forehead veins are palpitating due to the terrible turnover that the former lords left him with.

"My lord, we can take it from here. We will hold an enlistment for the vanguard and at least familiarize them on how to move around the walls." Nicol urgently offered upon seeing the change in the moon elf lord’s expression.

Luis nodded in acquiescence. A short breather is very much needed to calm his pulsing veins.

He cannot believe the state that he was in. First was the system and now the Inheritance.

"Thank you, Nicol. Please make sure that they are ready to attack tomorrow morning." That would be the time when the timer hits 2:00:00

"I need to revisit the Inheritance. I need to confirm something." Luis lied because this time he will throw a mitch fit.
