Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 125 Father

Chapter 125: Father

"What problem?" Ryder asked as a frown enveloped his forehead.
"I saw the lady of the city talking to an old man. She had a map in her hand, and she was telling him something. I think that there's a good chance that she was telling that old man about you," Makko told them.
Ryder fell in deep thought as he heard about it. He glanced in the direction of the city. There was no one coming in their direction from there. He was also confident that Makko was an expert in stealth. There were not many people who could catch him. The chances of him being followed without him knowing were almost negligible.
"How powerful was that old man?" Ryder inquired.
"I think that he was stronger than that guy," Makko said as he pointed towards the old vampire that had attacked them, who was lying on the ground unconscious, tied like a toy. Rale had made him lose consciousness as he was being way too loud.
"I see you didn't compare him with Rale. He should not be at that level, I guess, but it's indeed troublesome. I believe that they won't enter the Valley of the Wandering Souls, though," Ryder muttered.
"You did well. Give me one of them and distribute the rest to others. Let's change clothes,"
Ryder took a pair of clothes from the hands of Makko and walked behind a tree to change his clothes.
The others also changed their clothes.
All of them were wearing white clothes now. At the top, they wore a beautiful white long coat that had long collars.
"The clothes are not bad. I like the fashion sense of Vrykolakas more than I like the dressing sense of Vampires," Ryder muttered as he walked back.
The others had also gotten dressed by now.
They never stopped digging, though. A small team was always digging, giving the time for the others to get dressed, and after the others got dressed, they changed places with them.
Soon, they had dug a 1000 meter deep pit. They threw the old man's body inside. Rale placed a ton of heavy stones over the old man before they filled the pit with the soil.
It didn't take long for the pit to be filled by them, and soon, the ground started looking like before. No evidence could be seen about it being dug open.
"Good work, everyone. I know you might be tired, but we need to leave now. We can rest when we get to our destination," Ryder told them all.
Rale walked towards Ryder and caught his hands as he began flying high in the air. The others flew behind them, maintaining their speed.
Back in the city of Vrykolakas, a girl was sitting inside her room in a hotel.
The girl had light red eyes that seemed as deep as the sea of flames. She looked to be around 19-20 years old, judging by her face, but it was impossible to judge someone's age by their faces here.
The Undeads like the Vampires aged like an average human until they were 18; after that, their aging slowed down. Even though they still aged, it was almost at a negligible speed in some cases.
It was clear that the girl had reached the adulthood of vampires, and her aging had slowed down.
The girl looked towards the window. An upset look was shrouding her face.
"Geez, Uncle Ren went out for a walk, and he's still not back. He's getting old and slow," she said.
She stood up and started walking towards the window. She opened the windows and looked outside.
The girl saw a young girl and an old man talking amongst themselves. They had maps in their hands.
"Looks like the Owner of the city is back," she muttered. She looked around, but she didn't find the person she was looking for.
She walked back to the bed and started waiting again.
Two more hours passed away, but the person she waited for didn't return.
"I can't wait anymore! We have to leave the city, and he still isn't back. I'll have to go find him myself," she let out.
The girl stood up and left her room.
She walked through the city in search of the Old Man, but she didn't find him anywhere.
"Where could he have gone? I checked the whole city and yet I can't find him. Did he leave the city and went back on his own? No, he won't do something like that. Maybe he's back at the hotel now," the girl muttered as she walked back to the hotel after searching everywhere.
The girl entered her room, but it was just as empty as it had been the moment she left it.
"Did someone harm him? Who could be strong enough to harm him? And why would someone do something like that?" she frowned as she walked back to the window.
"The City Lord! In this town, only he's strong enough to hurt him. Is he trying to start a war? Can he really be stupid enough to do it when he knows the strength difference between the two races? He must know how bad father's wrath is!" she let out as she looked at the crowd of people walking all around the city.
" I need an explanation from him. I'm not letting it go," she determined.
"I can't go there alone, though. If he had indeed gone mad, then he would definitely capture me if I go. I need to inform father about it," the girl said.
She took out a paper from her pocket and ripped it.
A small light came out of the ripped paper and flew towards the sky. The small light left the city and flew far away from her. After half a day, the light reached a dark looking palace.
Dark thundering clouds covered the sky above the palace, but no thunder fell over the castle.
A man was sitting on the throne inside the palace. His eyes were closed as if he was in deep thought, but his eyes abruptly opened as soon as the small speck of light entered the palace.
His deep red eyes were scary enough to cause everyone who looked in them to start shivering.
There was a powerful aura surrounding that man, making him look like an unapproachable deity.
The man watched the speck of light coming towards him. He extended his hand and let the speck of light land on his palm.
He watched the small speck of light in full seriousness. In less than e seconds, he was standing up. He flew outside the palace.
