The Dark King - Chapter 303

Chapter 303

Whoosh!

Dudian climbed the wall of the fortress like a gecko as the sun set . As he stood on the wall he saw patrol soldiers serparate from each other to relocate he smoothly went to the other side of the wall . He used his hands to slow down the strength of the fall . There was a minimum sound as he landed on ground .

Dudian glanced at patrols on both sides . They were pretty far away and couldn't visually detect him . He rushed as he changed his location .

This time he felt much at home as he bypassed the border because of his previous experience as he escaped from prison . Dudian went to the desolate wilderness after passing through . It didn't take long for him to reach a desolate town .

There was a wry smile on his face as Dudian sneaked into the town . He went into the backyard of a house . There were clothes which were stuck at backyard for drying . He grabbed one of them and quickly left the town . He took advantage of the night time as he moved in direction of the Yard town .

Dudian reached the Yard town after a few hours . At the moment the weather was dark and soon the curfew time would begin .

Dudian looked at the hill behind the town . The Ryan castle stood tall like a monster in the darkness .

. . .

. . .

Study room at the second floor of the Ryan castle .

Sander helped his father back to the study room after eating the dinner . Old Fulin sat down on chair . Sander grabbed a thick quill and handed it over to his father: "It's cold so you should cover yourself with blankets at evenings . "

Old Fulin took it and covered his knees . He sighed: "It's been so long but he hasn't come back yet . God knows what has happened . "

"Although his age is not much but he is mature and prudent . There shouldn't be any big deals . Don't worry father . Most probably he will be back in few days . "

"The monsters outside the giant wall don't care whether someone is mature or immature . " Old Fulin shook his head .

Sander was full of anxiety as he pondered for a while: "I should go and urge those people to go and check Mr Dean . Nevertheless, he had bailed them out . It's not a humane way that they have chosen to respond . "

"Its within the nature of humans . No one would be willing to enter that place again . " Old Fulin slightly shook his head: "If there isn't any news by tomorrow then find two people and temporarily register them as hunters . Let them go out and investigate the matter . "

"Alright . " Sander slightly nodded .

Old Fulin slowly said: "Although we as Ryan family are rising right now and there are lots of small aristocrats and well-known wealthy businessmen who wants to join our consortium that is flourishing but all of them are attracted because of his architect identity . It won't take long for our family to be back to our initial declining status if we lose him . Afterwards it would be very hard to stand up again!"

Sander stared at Old Fulin: "Father we shouldn't rely on him . Wouldn't we be in wane if he changes his mind in the future? "

Old Fulin looked up and stared at Sander's eyes: "We haven't risen to any point how can we talk about decline? I don't want to listen to any other proposition!"

Sander's face slightly changed as he saw Old Fulin's angry facial expression: "Father, I have wronged you . "

Old Fulin slowly recovered his eyes as he saw Sander bow to apologize . He looked at the fire burning in the oil lamp as he delved into his thoughts .

Whoosh!

After a short time, a slight sound echoed from the window .

Old Fulin and Sander were surprised as they saw a person dressed in farmer's clothing come inside .

Sander was about to shout 'assassin' but he was shocked as he recognized the person .

"Can't you identify me as I have changed my clothing?" Dudian smiled as he came towards the table and pulled a chair to sit in front of Old Fulin . He looked at old patriarch: "My trip to outside the giant wall had made you worry . Has something new had happened in the last few days?"

Old Fulin smiled as he stared at Dudian: "You have come back . . . Good . . . I thought . . . There is no movement from Mellon consortium but we are not sure about their plans . Our intelligence is too weak! "

Dudian frowned slightly as he touched his chin: "What about the little guys that have come back?"

"The little guys?" Old Fulin slightly smiled as he heard Dudian's words: "They are not small . One of them is almost as old as me . I have sent few people to pay addition to them . In addition to the Nicholas the butler all the others have stayed inside the castle after coming back from the detection center . No one has gone out . "

"What about the butler?" Dudian asked .

"He hasn't gone out too . He was inside the castle all the time . " Old Fulin replied

Dudian was slightly surprised . His mouth curled up as he said: "I have come over tonight to nag you . You see, I didn't go through the procedures and bypassed the Holy Church . I need you help me out with alibi . "

"Illegally?" Old Fulin was surprised: "Why didn't you go to . . . ?" He beat his head as he was about to ask the question . Old Fulin said: "Of course . If you had been there then I would have got the news . . . Why did you have to illegaly come back? Is there something that you don't want Holy Church to know?"

Dudian nodded in confirmation: "There was a little trouble when I passed through the passage . A monster broke through the passage and killed the knights of light who were protecting the passage . I am worried that they will misunderstand it as they will think that it was my intention as if I deliberately brought it inside . But if there is no evidence then there will be no misunderstanding and no need for explanations . "

Old Fulin and Sander were shocked as they looked at each other . Old patriarch said: "Are you hurt? Did monster chase you as you returned?"

Dudian shook his head as he smiled: "It had cleverly hidden itself closeby and it was coincidence that the timing of my return matched with it . "

Old Fulin glanced back at him: "Your excuse about the coincidence would not trouble you . Right now you are an architect of the Temple of Elements and your credit is high . If you say so then no one will doubt you . No need for such a risky move . "

Dudian said: "That was one of the reasons . The second one is that I don't want to make my identity as a hunter highlighted . It has become my side identity . Even if I have to go outside the giant wall then I must secretly enter back . You can't leak the information . You should know that aristocracy and the Temple don't favor hunters while they look up to architects . Of course it doesn't mean that I'll abandon it but will continue to act in darkness . "

Old Fulin smiled: "I know that you have other reason but lets not delve into depth . My personal advice is that you better don't go hunting again . The other architects hire hunters to get the materials that they need . This way they don't need to take risks at all . "

Dudian smiled: "I'm not going outside the giant wall to hunt for materials or money . I'm doing it to hone my own combat effectiveness . If a sword is hidden in the scabbard for a long time it will rust . "

Old Fulin saw Dudian's determination so he didn't continue to persuade Dudian: "Alright, it's all good . But there is a bit of management problem with the people you have bailed out . I asked them to go search for you but they refused to follow my orders . That's a bad attitude they are showing . Moreover I don't know how but your trip to the outside has been leaked to Mellon consortium . They have been using that information to pressure the Temple by swaying the opinion through the newspapers . However the Temple hasn't responded to them . The recent invention of yours has blocked their mouthes so not matter what assessment will it get but you should put up your new item . "
