658 Meeting Elder Lenora

Michael bashed the bartender's head once last time, knocking him out cold. Then, he came to Gaya's side. He squeezed her hand, wordlessly telling Gaya not to do anything. The figure who Gaya thought Lenora slowly removed her dark hood. It was a brown-haired woman in her late forties. With an oval face and big round eyes, she looked way different than Elder Lenora. For a moment, Michael thought Lenora was in disguise.

However, he was proven wrong when the woman introduced herself.

"I am Elder Lenora's maid. You have something for Lady Lenora," the maid tilted her head, directing her gaze at the sack lying in the ground a meter away from her.

"Open and take a look at yourself," said Michael. She slowly bent down, slightly opening the sack to see Puma's head staring at her with wide eyes.

"I want to meet your Elders, including Elder Lenora,"

"What makes you think you can get what you want, Ghost?" snickered the maid. He could hear Gaya's teeth grinding against each other.

"I want peace and information about someone your kind has put a hit on. In exchange, I will give you something that will change the fate of your entire kind," The maid looked a bit surprised by his words. For a moment, she deeply pondered what GHost had just said. Only the painful groans challenged the silence until the woman decided to speak up.

"What is it?" asked the maid.

"Don't waste my time. I will give it only to your elders, not to a maid like you. Take me to Elder Lenora," Michael's voice became stern and cold. He wasn't in the mood to negotiate with a maid. The maid remained still, without uttering a word.

"She will meet you here this Friday, at the same time. For your sake, I'm hoping you have something really interesting," said the maid. To Michael's surprise, she faded into thin air.

"Where is she?!" Gaya dashed forward to catch the maid but it was too late.

"Friday," Michael mumbled under his breath. This Friday was the last day of his Mazeroth holidays. He had to return to Mazeroth. There was no way Michael could postpone meeting Elder Lenora. For Gaya's sake, he had to meet her. If finding Gaya's mother meant he would have to return to MAzeroth a few hours late, he would do it in a heartbeat.

Gaya frantically looked around the tavern to locate the maid. Michael intervened to stop her from looking like a crazy person.

"Two days," said Michael.

"In two days, we will find out what happened to your mother,"

It took Michael some convincing to take Gaya out of the tavern instead of traveling to the vampire castle as the Dark Lord and the Dark Queen. Unnecessary complications could arise if Michael entered the vampire castle as the Dark Lord. Thus, Michael chose to wait two days. Michael used these two days to brew more potions for his Majestic, including the plague cure. Then, he visited the Sunrise sect to meet with Claire and the Elders. They were surprised to hear Michael's request to abolish the king's rule and implement a round table of ministers to rule the kingdom like in the Southern continent. Of course, to the outside world, Bradford was ruled by Sunrise sect elders. In reality however, Michael would make decisions and rule the kingdom from the shadows. This way, his enemies wouldn't target Bradford to hurt him.

After signing the required parchments, Michael collected the necessary herbs to brew the potions for the vampires. He gave the potion crate to Azazel and ordered him to bury it somewhere in the dark forest. After everything was said and done in the Elon continent, Michael returned to Voldigard castle. At first, Michael felt somewhat reluctant to leave the Voldigards without ensuring their safety. But Eve reassured him and made some deals with other powerful families in Thera to strengthen her family. He didn't forget about Eve's curse.

He paid the system 250,000 badass points to locate an item that could be absorbed by the system and turned into a Curse Breaking skill. The bad news was, Michael had no time to visit the Treacherous ocean. The good news was, Elidyr could create an array to let Michael snake out of the Akilan realm without being detected by the arrays in Mazeroth.

He promised Eve he would break her curse within the next six months. To Michael's surprise, Eve didn't seem to care much about whether she lived or not. As far as she was alive, she wanted to make sure the Voldigards remained safe. Michael really felt bad about leaving Eve instead of helping her. Unfortunately, Michael had no choice but to return to Mazeroth.

With a warm hug, Even sent him off to Mazeroth, except Michael didn't teleport to Mazeroth. Instead, he went straight to the lonely wyvern tavern to meet Lenora.

Following his goodbye to Eve, Michael met Vedora. Except for Cain, the other two still looked gloomy. They needed time alone so Michael left them in the dark forest in the care of Azazel. Considering the time, Michael ordered Elidyr and Nightmare to return to Mazeroth before he and Gaya.

The lonely wyvern tavern looked as gloomy as ever under the moonless dark sky. The dark clouds hovering in the sky, threatening the earth with heavy downpours added an extra layer of gloominess to the tavern. Except for the rumbling thunder and howling wind, there was no sound in the area.

"I've reached the castle." When Michael reached the tavern, he heard Elidyr's voice in his head.

"Good. Hope your runes work," said Michael. When he met Elidyr back in the Dark Forest, Michael asked the dark elf to ensure no one in MAzeroth could see him and Gaya through their disguise. If it wasn't for the lack of badass points, Michael could have done it using the system. He was saving the points to buy the Silenes spell which would slow down time around him for a short amount of time. Furthermore, he wanted to upgrade all of his spells, it has been a long time since he upgraded them.

"They reached Mazeroth?" asked Gaya, walking beside him to the tavern door.

"Hmm," Michael nodded.

Using his Environmental Scanning Map and Spyders, Michael sensed three people inside the tavern. The door slowly creaked open. As Michael had sensed, he saw a dark-robed figure, the bartender, and another lady dressed in a creamy white skirt and a big dark hat with red feathers on her head.

Unlike when Michael visited the tavern before, the place looked empty. Atleast, they managed to fix the tables and the fallen trophies when Gaya almost destroyed the place.

The bartender glanced at Michael for a moment before turning his focus back to refilling the lady in white's glass. The one standing beside the lady in white resembled the maid Michael met earlier.

"Let me do the talking," Michael whispered to Gaya.

Gaya nodded. The floor creaked every time Michael took a step. Until now, Michael had faced two Elder vampires. But those two were just saplings compared to the ancient elders like Lenora. Just by being in the same room with her, Michael could feel the terrifying aura being radiated by her. In terms of cultivation, Lenora was at the peak of the Fusion Stage.

After Michael's many experiences with the vampires, he learned a valuable lesson. Vampires couldn't be scaled with mere cultivation standards. Their kind had powers beyond cultivation stages. Thus, Michael dared not to underestimate Lenora. Silence fell over the tavern. In the air, a tinge of blood permeated. The bartender's legs trembled in fear. Michael doubted the red liquid the bartender poured into Lenora's cup was wine.

"Take a seat," Lenora's voice chimed, cutting through the silence. She tapped the bar stool beside her.

"System, the moment something goes wrong, teleport us to Mazeroth," Michael ordered the system. If push comes to shove, he wanted to be in Mazertoh where the vampires held no power. Besides, both Gaya and Michael had the teleportation scroll given by Mazeroth to teleport to the castle grounds. Therefore, he didn't have to spend any badass points buying teleportation scrolls from the system.

Every step he took forward reminded Michael of the Elder vampires' latest meeting. When Michael sneaked into their castle to kill Victor, he bugged the entire castle including the round table of vampires. That was how Michael knew Avon was being turned into an Elder Vampire and their decision to wake something called a blood prince. The name itself was ominous enough for Michael to be aware of. At least, Michael had thrown a wrench into the ritual by killing Avon…so he thought…

Michael sat beside Lenora and Gaya sat next to Michael.

"This is the first time someone wanted to meet me, even after knowing what I am capable of," said Lenora. Her voice was melodious, calm, and composed. Any oblivious man wouldn't believe she was a freakin Elder Vampire capable of destroying a kingdom single-handedly.

"You have some big balls, Ghost," Lenora chuckled. Michael sensed the killing intent behind her seductive chuckle. For the first time, Michael opted for the high-risk high reward way for Gaya. If everything went according to his plan, Ghost and the vampires could be at peace as well as learn about Gaya's mother. Suppose it wasn't the case, Michale knew he have to become the Dark Lord to defeat Lenora. Dark Flames and the anti-vampire potions were the only two things in his arsenal that could hurt and probably kill an ancient Elder like Lenora.

"I liked Puma. He served me and my kind well," Lenora took a small sip and slowly put the glass on the table.

"You tortured him, didn't you? How else could you have known my name?" Her voice became colder. The temperature around them dropped by several degrees. Nonetheless, Michael showed no signs of fear in his eyes.

"Torture is a strong word. Let's just say, I'm very persuasive," Michael's calmness shocked the bartender and Lenora's maid. Lenora felt something off about the human. she couldn't put her finger on it but something was definitely strange about Ghost.

"I wonder what made you reach out for me," said Lenora.

"I want to know about someone you ordered a hit on, Adelia Ashton," As soon as Michael said the name, Lenora clenched her fist. Every single glass bottle shattered into smithereens. The entire trembled tavern. Her eyes turned bloodshot for a moment. Finally, Lenora turned her head to look at Michael.

"Adelia Ashton. The Queen of Nagaland,"
