Chapter 381 DUPLICATE





[Duplicate chapter but don't fear, I'll update it in the next few hours or upload two to three chapters instead. Sorry for the mishaps]

....

[Ace POV]

The noise here was very simple and couldn't be called a noise.

The sound of the noise I heard was like the flap of wings. 

Blue must have also heard it as well because he was no longer resting his head on the ground and had raised his head to look at the sky with vigilance in his eyes.

The vigilance in his eyes though seemed to look like one he would give to an opponent he was able to have a death battle with which puzzled me.

I had also heard the sound of some flapping but was there a need to have such vigilance?

Thinking of this also raised my guard and I immediately turned to look at the sky with blue as well since that was where I heard the noise from.

What I did not expect was the appearance of the source of the flapping sounds.

The source of the wings flapping came from a human and one that I knew at that.

A few metres above me in the air stood Andrew with two huge dragon-like wings doing their work to maintain his location in the air.

'Well, the primordial chronicle did call him an ancient dragon', I thought as I continued to stare at Andrew Dawn's figure, releasing a slightly dreadful aura that affected me a little.

'Perhaps this is why Blue is staring at the emperor like he's staring at an enemy, I thought as I wondered if this was the strength of the truly powerful.

The ability to just influence another party by simply being there and doing nothing.

In any case, I was 90% sure the emperor wouldn't hurt me so I wasn't bothered like Blue.

Thinking of this, I reached out to the neck of my tamed beast and petted it to calm it down while still retaining my gaze on Andrew Dawn in mid-air.

Even though Blue tensed body relaxed, he still didn't drop his vigilance, which I saw as a good thing when looking at it from another angle.

'I wonder why he's many hours late though', I thought and as if the emperor heard it, he gracefully began to descend to the ground in front of me.

When Blue on the other hand saw this, he instantly became slightly aggressive as he stared at the descending emperor with malice in his eyes.

The emperor who saw this though, ignored blue and spoke the moment his feet touched the ground.

"What's with that monster?" He asked with interest in his voice.

'Huh?' Why is he asking such a question was my initial thought before I remembered that this should be the first time Andrew Dawn was laying his eyes in blue after he evolved.

Putting this aside, I reasoned that even without knowing Blue before, most people would still be interested in him.

His appearance is unique after all.

"He's my pet", I replied simply.

Upon hearing my reply, a trace of surprise showed on Andrew Dawn's face.

"You're saying that small little thing grew up to look like this?" The emperor asked with surprise evident in his voice.

Before I could even reply to him, the emperor exclaimed again.

"You've evolved to rank 1?" The emperor stated in surprise before the surprise on his face slowly turned to a wide smile.

"You're getting stronger", he stated before adding; "Even your aura shows it"

For some reason, he seemed to be happy about this revelation which was weird to me.

For one, he wasn't the one getting powerful right?

As I was starting to think of the reasons behind the emperor's reaction, he finally opened up his mouth to address the issue behind his lateness.

"First off, I'll apologise for coming here late despite being the one to set a time", He started with this and I gave a slight nod in response to his words.

I was not bothered about him being late because I and blue were able to rest for a reason and it felt good.

"Seeing as you do not seem particularly interested in the reason for me being late, let's go with the main goal of our meeting today", the emperor stated as positioned his body to sit on the ground while withdrawing his wings back into his body.

The emperor was currently donned in mediaeval clothing. I reasoned he had gotten this from the store.

'I wonder how the fashion of humans is now in the true world.' 

As my thoughts started to wander about, Andrew Dawn finally began to state the reason for wanting to meet him.

[Third Person POV]

"So you want to go to war with another race?" Ace asked to be sure after hearing Andrew Dawn's words and what he had seen from the ogres.

 

 

 

    

        

While the reason behind Andrew Dawn's words was reasonable, Ace did not expect that the first party to be going to war with another race would be the humans first.

Perhaps a war had already happened or is happening in another part of the true world but that was none of Ace's concern since he wasn't there.

Andrew Dawn's decision to go to war with the ogres could not be said to be bad but it could not be said to be the best decision either.

But most times in life, one had to make drastic decisions in drastic situations.

And it wasn't like Ace could not understand Andrew Dawn's worries.

He did because he also had a few experiences with these races and the little numbers he saw were enough to give him headaches, talkless of the numbers Andrew Dawn had to deal with.

Ace still hasn't forgotten that the race leaders would soon be unsealed and although he did not know what was getting unsealed about the races, the races were no good news in the first place so the unsealing was something that could also be seen as sure.

Unfortunately, Ace had lost track of the time and could not pinpoint exactly when 10 days were going to end except he asked someone.

His teammates were people to go to for this but he could only contact Anna and even Anna and he had not spoken to each other in days.

After hearing Ace's words, Andrew Dawn simply gave a nod as a reply.

Seeing this, Ace continued with his query.

"Now that you're going for a war, you know there will surely be losses and you want to reduce it no matter how little it is?"

Andrew Dawn nodded.

"This's where my pills are needed right?"

Andrew Dawn nodded again.

After seeing that he did not miss anything, Ace subconsciously scratched his cheek for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Okay, I'm in but how do we discuss the prize?" Ace asked since this was quite an important aspect.

He did not need to sell his pills to Andrew Dawn to make a profit since he had the shop and if he was going to sell the pills, then there had to be a reasonable profit behind it.

Andrew Dawn, on the other hand, seeing that Ace was ready to hop on his plan, showed a smile and replied.

"The prize is no problem so do not worry", Andrew Dawn stated with confidence.

He still had dragon scales in his storage ring that he could sell so he was sure he could pay Ace any amount he wanted.

Ace, seeing Andrew Dawn's confidence, merely gave a nod before speaking again.

"So how many pills do I need to provide?" Ace asked.

"Well, a few…..", Andrew Dawn was about to give an estimate before an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Hmmm, Ace?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever wondered what a settlement looks like?"

"This's where my pills are needed right?"

Andrew Dawn nodded again.

After seeing that he did not miss anything, Ace subconsciously scratched his cheek for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Okay, I'm in but how do we discuss the prize?" Ace asked since this was quite an important aspect.

"Yes?"
