My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 22 – Blood Goblin
“Daddy did you call me? What's up?” Audrey arrives at Richard's room, but Richard still busies himself with paper and pen.
Richard wrote a letter not only to the king of the Mountain Sage Kingdom, Richard also wanted to inform all the city lords in the Mountain Sage Kingdom, according to him the more leaders who knew about it, the faster the countermeasure process would be.
“Oh you're already here son, nothing – what, I just want you to pack up soon, 3 days later you'll be back to White Lake City, back to your mother” Richard raised his head smiling towards Audrey.
“Hah what dad said!? Why do I have to come back so soon, after all the academy is also on holiday for why do I quickly return to White Lake City?” Audrey scowled in disbelief at her father's orders.
Richard, who knew Audrey's nature, expected the response Audrey would show.
“Come nak” Audrey is approaching “3 days again you have to go home to White Lake City yes, I'm sure your mother is currently definitely missing you” Richard is still persuading Audrey.
“But I miss dad, it's been a long time since we've moved to White Lake City with mom, you rarely see us, after all you promised me Sun Refine Pill, why now I have to go home to White Lake City” Audrey hugs her father.
“Son, father will not lie, father failed to find Heaven Sun Lotus, it looks like the Sun Refine Pill that father promised must wait, father apologized yes for now father can not fulfill it”
“And for the next few weeks maybe Behemoth City won't be as quiet as it is now, therefore dad asked you to go home first to White Lake City, so, at least I'll calm down if you're safe” Richard rubbed – rubbed Audrey's head.
“Indeed what will happen with Behemoth City, instead of father being the ruler of this city, you should be able to solve it right?”
“The problem is not that simple, son, I will be more focused if the father's daughter is safe” Richard continues to persuade Audrey.
Audrey who is now 10 years old is no longer a child who does not understand what – is, even though her father did not tell her, Audrey is sure that something has happened in Behemoth City.
“Okay dad, I'll obey your orders, but I have one father condition,” Audrey stared back at Richard.
“Say nak.”
“Dad should promise, to catch up with me and mom in Jotunheim.” Somehow Audrey felt a bad feeling approaching her father, so Audrey gave the condition to her father.
“Hmm why did you apply for such terms son?” Richard wonder, “Not usually you like this son?”
“Appointment!!” Audrey looked at her father.
“Yes dad promised” Richard rinsed – rubs head Audrey.
“He he, then I'll get ready father” Audrey then get out of Richard's room.
“Hmm the child, ... father will try to keep the promise father” Richard muttered softly. “Servants call Coda and Belo immediately!”
Not long after, Coda and Belo faced.
“What's the master?” Belo asked.
“Belo now you call all Baron Behemoth City Sir, Davos, and Sir George, while Coda you call Warren and some adventurer association executives in the city, soon we will have an emergency meeting.”
“Good sir.” Answer Belo and Coda simultaneously.
Belo and Coda immediately did their job, Belo immediately ran to the communications room, to use the Sound Stone to contact all the Barons telling them to gather at Sir Richard's residence.
While Coda immediately went to the Adventurers Association, using his horse Coda quickly arrived at the Adventurers Association, without long Coda immediately gave a token to the receptionist.
Seeing the token, the receptionist was surprised for a while before then, “Please follow me Mr. Coda” Receptionist was leading Coda to Warren's room.
In the heart of the receptionist asked, what was the matter so that Mr. Coda issued the Token of Urgency to meet with the Guild Leader, but the receptionist did not dare to ask, he only quickly escorted Coda to Warren's room.
- tok
“Sorry to interrupt sir, Mr. Coda is outside asking to meet you, he also brought the Urgency Token in his hands.” The receptionist reported.
For a moment Warren was silent, “Please let him in”
“Good sir.” The receptionist bent her head and opened the door “Please Mr. Coda, Mr. Warren is waiting for you”
“Thank you” Coda directly enter and close the door of the room.
The receptionist would not want to go back to the front without getting information what – what.
In the room, Coda immediately recounts the intent of his arrival, and invites Warren and several top adventurers to an impromptu meeting at Sir Richard's mansion.
Warren did not ask much, Warren only suspected that the sudden meeting might be related to the green liquid he had just brought from the inner forest.
Seeing Sir Richard's disquiet, Warren knew that the liquid was not just any liquid, though Warren did not know what it was, but given the nature of Sir Richard, Sir Richard would not have made such a massive move if the situation was still under control.
“Thank you Mr. Warren, then I'll resign to prepare for the event later tonight.” Coda immediately moved out of the room.
“Ya” Warren just waved his hand, not ushering Coda forward.
...
Meanwhile, in one corner of the suburb of Tanhill, Tanhill is having lunch with various meat dishes that Tanhill buys from the city.
“Ayo Ashura enjoy this meat – meat, not every day we can eat delicious like this” Tanhill take one honey sauce roasted meat from the plate in front of him and directly eat it.
“Iya uncle Shura, usually uncle Tanhill is very stingy for money matters, therefore it is a miracle today he treat a lot of meat for us to eat” Claude does not restrain his appetite, so it is a miracle today, he greedily ate one by one the honey-soaked roasts in front of him.
“Ah yes ha .. ha ..” Ashura took some meat to her plate then ate it.
Although it looks relaxed Ashura keeps a look of restless face, and it does not escape Tanhill's sharp view, but Tanhill does not directly discuss it, because Tanhill is more concerned with the condition of his stomach that had screamed for contents.
A few moments later, some dishes that were originally full of honey-coated roasts now left only a few drops of honey with no meat left.
“That's it, thank you uncle.” Claude held his belly.
“Hey you, quickly clean this plate – plate, all of you wash immediately all of these dishes, clean wash, I do not want to see the remaining – leftover meat fat on my plate tomorrow morning!” Tanhill immediately told Claude when he saw Claude was about to relax.
“Cih, can't I relax a little enjoy the food that just went into my stomach.” Claude grumbled.
“No!, quickly work on!”
Hearing Tanhill's orders, Claude did not linger – long, he immediately tidied up the plate and brought it back.
Claude did not complain much because he knew that his uncle and uncle Ashura would talk about something, while he was not allowed to listen.
“And I want to know what they're going to talk about, cih the old man's base.” Claude grumbled as long as he cleaned the dishes.
“Well that child is gone, now tell me what makes you so nervous?” Tanhill opened the conversation.
“Thank you Mr Tanhill for understanding, well then I will not hesitate, do you know what this liquid is?” Ashura gave a small jade bottle.
Tanhill took the bottle and slowly opened the lid trying to see the contents of the bottle.
Tanhill frowned, “Why do you think I know what kind of liquid this is?” Tanhill then asked.
“Because I can't think of anyone else who knows vast knowledge other than you, and looking at your expression just now, it seems like my guess is correct?” Ashura smiled knot.
“Cih seems like my decision to help you was a mistake” Tanhill shook his head –.
A few years back Tanhill had helped Ashura, during the process took place Ashura was able to unmask Tanhill but only limited to Tanhill's ability and knowledge. Dimata Ashura, Tanhill is an Alchemist who hides his identity, pretending – temples to be an ordinary Alchemist and covering up his original skills.
According to Ashura, if Tanhill wanted to, Tanhill could get the position of an imperial Alchemist with his abilities, but Tanhill did not have such ambitions, at least that was the thing Ashura concluded after seeing Tanhill's movements.
Unfortunately only to the extent that Ashura unmasked Tanhill, Ashura could not reveal the true identity of a Tanhill.
Knowing this, Ashura takes Tanhill to tell him a conjecture that Ashura himself is afraid to imagine.
“Yes I know what liquid this is, where did you get this liquid from?”
“The waters I found a few weeks ago, when I was with a party went to explore the inner forest around Red Flower City”
“Hmm, how much liquid like this do you see?” Tanhill continued to ask.
“Very many masters, almost covered the entire area but strangely all I saw was a former ground battle with all this liquid, but I found nothing more.” Ashura was clearly astonished given the incident.
“Can I ask what liquid is mister?” Ashura asked again.
“What do you think this liquid is?” Tanhill asked back.
“I hope my guess is wrong, but my guess this liquid is the blood of a monster named Goblin, am I right sir?”
“Yes you are right, the liquid inside this jade bottle is the blood of Goblin” Tanhill did not hold back the slightest bit of his words.
