Chereads / Ethereal Equilibrium : The Dungeon Masters & The Heroes / Chapter 32 - Entangled Alliances and Looming Shadows

Chapter 32 - Entangled Alliances and Looming Shadows

different from other day where I only wear a casual clothes, today I am wearing the armor that have been customize to perfectly fit the new ring that Valthorian made for me.

he said this ring is a temporary use item, by sacrificing the durability of the carrier it allow his rune to work on overdrive and help me gather and infuse attribute to help me cast Devouring and Restoration, the ring allowed me to use it 3 times before turning to dust.

Saul named the destructive side of attribute is Devouring and the gentle side is Restoration.

I was riding a carriage that was pulled by to skeleton horse that has a blue undead flame as it's mane, in the inside I feel worried and restless.

to calm my self down I was starting a conversation with Saul.

"Old Antique what do you think?, was this a right decision for me to try and use their trap towards my advantage."

"Kid you're having a cold feet, it seems you are still holding your kind nature, but let me tell you to throw it away for this moment, now the more you are uncertain the easier it is to make a mistake."

"you know that wasn't the question I was asking?"

"Kid there's no right or wrong from your point of view the president association is truly a person seeking peace but there's someone trying to harm you from their side. What's the problem with the fact of trying to profit from it." he stopped talking for a while before continuing "My words of advice as a former Ruler make sure that every choice you make was something that you will never regret and to never violate you personal rules."

after he said his advice he never spoken another word even if I try to communicate with him again, I try again but to no avail he seems to ignore me, all I can do is to calm my self and enjoy the scenery on the way.

after a 2 hour long ride inside the carriage I was greeted by a huge clearing where there is already 2 tent were build. One was a huge tent and across it is a more simpler tent, seeing the large tent was showing my emblem on it.

seeing this tent I have a guess on who order this tent, it was a certain narcissistic Dragon and mischievous little fairy with too much time on her hand.

entering the tent I was greeted with a very complete set of bed, work table, dining table and, bathroom. Amaze by the fact this was created using magical method that only those craftsman know.

"how is it kid, that little fairy is quite talented in preparing this place, and it seems you and her are quite close care to tell the story between you two?"

"well I already know who has the time and personality to do this, and no I wont tell you a single thing, where were you when I was trying to find someone to talk."

"I ignore you so you can be used to this situation, you said it yourself you lack experience so the way to solve that is to let you experience it personally, don't worry I pull you back if you gone too far."

hearing his way of deflecting my protest made me annoyed, but I cannot deny his way even though it is very crude in a certain way.

"say I met my self in a dream, he called himself my most primal self and he told me the reason he can exist is because I've become a Dungeon Master and he intend to fight for the right to control my body, is it true?"

"I don't know I never heard of that phenomenon before, there was never a dungeon master to experience what you say, maybe that's just a dream or maybe what he said is not entirely correct."

"can you explain?"

"I can't, I don't have enough information, giving you incomplete information is basically only will hurt you, since you are smart you can draw a conclusion on your own, but that is very dangerous since we are dealing with something unknown here."

"but you said that he maybe was just a dream."

"well it is better be prepare rather than sorry, the world is very large you never know what's in it, the word of fear 'comes from the unknown' exist for a reason you know."

"well what do you need to help you gather more information?"

"I need to be near you 24/7, that's the part I hate the most, it means I need to stay on your body."

"well just keep up with it Old Antique."

hearing my words I can feel he is quite upset because of this, I try to raise his mood by promising to any of his condition.

he ask me to create a personal dungeon room for him to save his Treasure, of course I agree but saying that I will only build it after I enter the Tier 3 since the extra room I can create in the 2nd tier is already used for housing the Ancient tomb unit.

after waiting until noon all the participant finally all arrive, the one who sign the agreement is not only the association president but also the some of the top adventurer captain and representative.

after finishing the signing event I was Invited by the president to attend a banquet in the city, I agree knowing full well that there is a trap waiting for me the moment I step into the this banquet.
