Chereads / Priestess Of The Land / Chapter 84 - Another Farewell

Chapter 84 - Another Farewell

"Nevertheless, we'll prepare for the unknown land when it's time to go, besides I still have to interrogate that guy we captured," Tria said.

"I'll lead you to him," Crei said.

Going underground where the cell was located, Tria and Crei arrived and found the master tied to a chair unable to even move his fingers.

"Mata's work?" Tria asked.

"Hmm."

Crei kicked the chair waking up the man. Upon seeing the couple, the Master's eyes turned cold, yet fearful.

"You and I need to talk," started Tria," You're going to tell me all I need to know about the Eye, and where you are located in the Unknown Land."

"Hahaha," he burst out laughing, "little lady, don't try to eat more than you can chew, even with God Hoth you would not be able to beat us. He didn't succeed one hundred years ago, he would not succeed now. Given the fact that our numbers have multiplied by many folds, you will never win."

"Is that so? then there is no point in keeping alive then, let's leave him with Mata to play with. I'm sure she would enjoy peeling your skin, layer by layer. You might not be human but you still feel pain."

"No, just kill me and be done with it. What's the point of torturing me for?"

"I will give you a quick death if you tell me what I want to know."

"...fine."

"Were you ordered to kill me or capture me?"

"We were ordered to capture, and if you resisted, to kill you and bring back your body."

"What for?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know? Alright, where were you supposed to bring back my body?"

"...To the unknown land."

"Where exactly? Do you want to do this the hard way?" she threatened.

"Whatever, I'll tell you. It's not like you'll make it anyways. As soon as a God enters the barrier, we'll know, and if you don't go with him, they'll still find you."

"So...?"

"Come closer," he said.

Tria looked him suspiciously, but he just smiled creepily. She decided to go closer, and just as the guy was about to sneak attack her, Crei pulled him the throat.

"Even if you're not afraid of death, I can make you yearn for it," Crei told him.

Ar-gh! Argh!

The guy choked on his tongue with his eyes popping out glaring at Crei.

"I need him to tell me the location," said Tria, she did want him dead yet.

Crei loosened his grip and looked back at Tria," Leave me alone with him for a second." She glanced at him and nodded her head. Crei was left alone with the man still hooked up by the throat.

"Tell me where the location is," Crei ordered him as he released his aura.

"C-center...at the center of the land, t-there is a town called Centria, that is where we are," he said as he gasped for air, then continued," w-who are you?"

"The one who will end your God for ever coveting my wife," he answered then walked away as the Master laid lifeless on the cold ground.

Tria was waiting upstairs, and when Crei arrived, he witnessed her attractive beauty kissed by the moonlight and he couldn't help but rushed up to hug her.

"All finished?" she asked while accepting his hug.

"Hmm, Centria he said."

"Centria..hmm I have never heard of it, however, it will be our last stop before we go home," she said.

"Are you excited?"

"I am...although I can't enjoy this excitement just yet. The unknown land will be full of dangers, I must plan carefully this time."

"I am here wifey, I will never let anything happen to you. The sooner this is over, the sooner I can have you to myself again..and you know," he slyly said, implying the many more things they had to do.

"Haha, my dear husband, you must work hard then," she answered and touched his cheek.

"Hmm."

"Come... let us find the others," she grabbed Crei's hand and walked towards the other's chambers.

The other protectors were not sleeping just yet either, Mata was bathing, Ono was practicing his word skills, and Jeep was surrounded by his young maidens telling stories from his journey.

Tria had gone along to wait in the living area, while the protectors came one by one.

"Priestess," they greeted one by one.

"Please don't, we are all family here," she answered.

"Little sister Tria then," said Mata as she laughed.

"That's fine, alright let's start-

"God Hoth?" Mata asked.

"That is precisely why we are meeting, he has left."

"Oh," she answered solemnly.

"Right, Crei and I will continue our journey to the Unknown Land before we head back home to the Sun Land. I understand that it is your duty to protect the Moon Land, therefore do not be burdened by not being able to go along with me."

"One of us could go, two protectors is more than enough to protect the Moon Land," Jeep said.

"That is true, but I have thought of a plan which could only succeed with two people, so it is alright."

"I'm going to miss you," Mata said and continued as she blinked at Jeep," Jeep too."

"Mataaa!" Jeep cried and blushed, then said,"...just a bit, also take care of yourself." He would have said but Crei was looking at him and although he was a powerful protector, he could not help but be scared of the devilishly handsome man.

"Hahaha," Tria laughed.

They continued chatting for a while longer, and servants had brought up snacks for them as well. Jeep's wives had even joined, turning their farewell talk to be even merrier.
