"*Burp*!!" Rhean sat there satisfied of the lavish meal they had just enjoyed, she could feel all the medicinal effects already as well as the latent energy hidden in the Berserkong meat spreading towards her body. She never in her life had thought she would get to the peak of platinum rank in just a few hours but here she is. Sitting lazy like one of those nobles in their lavish mansions.
"I think I now understand why those fat entitled dudes get that much weight, If they get to eat this much good food I too would not like to leave the table. Ughh... My magic is rising so fast!" Ashea sat there ungracefully as she picked her teeth with a sharp bone.
"Me too, but I think our breakfast could buy their mansions already hahaha..." Kent laughed as he sat there too with a bulging stomach.
"My race would be ashamed of me if they knew I got full in one meal. But I think they would still get jealous of me haha..." Brendel laughed as she had now experience a meal that could make an orc like her full in one sitting. The amount of energy she is receiving is juct too much even for an orc like her, the race known for their very strong metabolic systems.
"Food, did you like? Happy?' Brad asked in broken common tongue. Brad did all of this because he wanted to learn of this world's culture from these people. He never knew what the value of the things he owned so he thought why not treat them to a meal made from a beast that these people, whom Brad assumed to be adventurers, couldn't kill. Seeing their medieval and magical get-up he assumed this world had a fantasy magic setting community.
"Happy? We're beyond thrilled saviour Brad, I can't thank you enough for this meal alone." Kent laughed but he stopped cause he burped mid-laugh. Brad smiled cause he felt that he was able to get these people to warm up to him, he's still cautious though. He paid attention to micro-expressions that would indicate any ill intent coming from these four but so far so good.
"Hahaha..*Burp* that's hilarious!" Rhean was wasted again as she tried the wine that was made by Brad. He smiled as he realized that alcohol is still the best thing to open up one's mouth to secrets. He kept a nice atmosphere going so these poeple would open up more to him, he doesn't need to intimidate them in the least cause he already shown how strong he is in front of them. He smiled at how he now become as strong as the heroes he used to watch.
This cozy atmospehre lasted for hours as the five people sat there. They were amazed as they conversed with Brad who became more and more fluent with the common tongue. They too helped him seeing he wanted to learn as they talked about may things with Brad asking about what kind of world is it out there. This made the four feel pity that Brad doesn't know of the kingdoms and that he was alone here all the time.
They felt safe and comforted with the food and the hospitality that they kept talking of many things that Brad tried to remember in case he became fluent in the language. They felt that they received too much already that they felt guilty thus they helped each other in showing Brad many things about their culture.
THey knew they would spend time here and seeing the friendly super strong guy in front of them being hospitable and nice made them want to stay and help him with all they can. Their peaceful atmosphere was in direct contrast to the cold and merciless winter outside. As a change of winds has happened that'll make the war more volatile than it is already.
[Slaver's Beach]
A place where the groups of Kingdoms and Powers that had enslaved Beast lords, a bay found north-east of the continent. An area spanning for about one thousand Km long and three hundred km wide housed a particular set of people. These people all had something in common and that they all practiced dark magic, it was not seen as a taboo magic but these groups of powers were megalomaniac and greedy people, hungry for profit and instant gain that they would not hesitate to use despicable means to do so.
This was a collection of the most notorious Warlords, Crime Syndicates, Murderers and every other filth found in any Kingdoms and countries. They were the thorn of the many Factions that had participated on this collective undertaking of getting a foothold on this continent. They all had an agreement at first that they try to make the War between the Beast Lords last for years to weaken them.
This was observed until one greedy man from a fallen noble family decided to use the forbidden Dark Magic: Forceful Submission. This is one of the most strongest slave contract there is as it included the sacrifice of a thousand pure souls. Which was mostly childrens below the age of 8, most criminals have bottomlines but the allure of enslaving a Beast Lord had clouded this bottomline.
Who wouldn't want a walking nuke follow you around at your whim and a simple wave of a ahnd you could destroy cities. This made the other reluctant one to use the spell as well, even if it would earn the ire of the other Kingdoms. And it did but they were fearless as they banded together to hold a strong stand against those who disagree with their ways.
They promised that whoever leads the attack they would let the two dozen beast lords attack that group in unison. This sacred many as the power of two dozen Beast Lords is quite a strong deterent. Even if they are the weakest of the bunch, they are still beast lords nonetheless. This gave the members of these groups arrogance as they strutted around everywhere doing what they want.
This led to various small conflicts that even included a Young Miss of a Clan to be almost violated if not for a group od five Platinum Adventurers appearing and saving her. This almost made the Clan of the Young miss call for arms but the threat of the Slavers were to great. Even their befriended Beast Lord advised against it.
This made these feinds more brazen that the various powers hid their own female members from the area of the slavers. But some crimes are still commited as some had different preferences, some men were captured and played with. Some of the heinous female criminals even had a chained group of men that she had captured for entertainment.
Until one day a screech full of fury and anger sounded out in the sky as two titanic figures zoomed through the skies of the Slaver's Beach. This alerted the Enslaved Beast Lords as they recognized the pair of adversaries in their sky.
{You insolent Slavers!! Give me back my daughter now or you shall face the combined will of the Beast Lords!!} Hawk Lord Erene's cold voice sounded out in the whole area.
{You weak fools! You have shamed the title of Beast Lords and I, Sky Lord Fargor Bladewind, shall take your life to erase your dishonor!!} Forgor was incensed to when he heard his daughter also was gone. Losing his son who he took care already maddened him but the thought of losing the last one with his bloodline made him beyond furious.
