BXBX NOVEL Chapter 407 Tyrant Velian
The whole room went silent as soon as they heard those words.
They knew it is something impossible to happen, especially when Velian stayed with the man without even trying to hide the fact.
"This is bullshit! You can\'t just kill him and say something like that," Elyisa came forward as she didn\'t like how Velian tried to lie.
She wouldn\'t have cared if he said he killed him, but right now she wanted him to be truthful especially when they are going to create a partnership right now.
*Sigh
"I\'m not lying, beastkin army tried to sneak into our lab where I kept samples of parasitic cells," Velian wanted to put the blame on something else as he didn\'t want others to think about him like a tyrant.
He knew this was an obvious lie, but with enough evidence even they will have to consider his words as truth and he had enough fake evidence.
"What?"
Daphnia obviously knew he was lying, but she decides to go along with it and she quickly ran and checked Velian\'s body like she was concerned.
"You didn\'t get injured right? Veli, show me your hand,"
Velian just went along with her and looked at Elyisa.
"He was putting his soldiers all around the city searching for something, so when they saw our lab, they decided to attack it and take all the samples we had," Velian said almost convincing everyone that he was telling the truth, as his voice was serious.
"It backfired on them because we had a live captured cell user, I manage to kill it, but Gromer and his army were already killed by them when I arrived,"
Velian said and looked at the door.
"Come! I will show you," He asked everyone to follow him, and when they strived at the place where Gromer\'s nuts got destroyed, everyone saw a lake of blood with a lot of dead bodies and a weird-looking woman lying in that same bloody place.
"She\'s the cell user, we should be careful when touching her because there is a possibility that her parasite spread even though she is dead,"
Velian warned and everyone suddenly quickly took their distance.
His aim was to show that he can actually do what he promised them and put the blame of Gromer\'s death on these cell users. Because the last thing he wanted now was a war.
\'I can\'t fight now, I need to prepare for the demon lord, but at the same time, I won\'t let go of this man pretending I didn\'t know what he did\'
Elyisa didn\'t know what to believe because it was almost hard to believe that everything happened when Velian showed hostility toward him.
She had her suspicions, but right now she was more interested to see this lab he was talking about rather than Gromar\'s dead body.
"How do we deal with this? If we can\'t touch it how did you even catch this thing?"
It was a trick question on Elyisa\'s part, but Velian didn\'t show any weakness as he took the gem and threw it for her to catch it.
"This is the tool that helps us to carefully touch it, we have only a limited amount of those but I will try my best to give one for each of the races,"
Elyisa caught the gem and looked at it with her eyes showing the interest she had in the matter.
"This power! This is truly an extraordinary stone,"
She muttered and looked at the soldiers that took her dead body back to the laboratory, which was just a gimmick one which had some tools that he purposefully put there.
"But what do we do now?" a voice quivered with uncertainty. "We cannot stay here, but where shall we go?"
Velian\'s expression softened, his voice now tinged with compassion. "We cannot cower in fear. We must face this danger head-on. We will make our stand in the Great Hall, the heart of our unity and strength. We shall fortify ourselves there and protect one another from the encroaching darkness."
Velian looked at Elyisa while talking because she was the most important one in the group.
"This alliance! Its purpose is to protect each other and I will put my every single effort into making sure no errors occurs in it,"
Questions flooded the room like a relentless tide, demanding answers, and seeking guidance. Velian raised his hand, the gem he had entrusted to each of them glinting in the dim light.
"Take the gem I bestowed upon you and give it to the bravest warriors within your respective races," Velian instructed, his voice resonating with authority.
"These gems hold a power that can aid us in this battle. With their combined might, we shall strike down any parasitic cell user that dares to surface."
"Don\'t give them a chance, as soon as you notice the change just kill them,"
A renewed sense of purpose ignited within the ambassadors\' eyes. They exchanged determined glances, realizing that their destinies were intertwined. The burden of protecting their people from this menacing threat fell squarely upon their shoulders.
One by one, the ambassadors stepped forward, placing their trust in Velian\'s plan. The clinking sound of gems changing hands reverberated through the hall, symbolizing the unity and resolve that now bound them together.
Velian\'s gaze swept across the room, lingering on each ambassador\'s face, their expressions a mix of determination and anticipation. With a resolute voice, he declared,
"Within a few months, things won\'t be the same anymore, if we can stop every single cell user, we might be able to stop the heinous demon lord from reviving but if he didn\'t,"
Velian said and looked at them with a serious look.
"Still we will win, I will make sure we win with each and every one of your support,"
The hall calmed down with Velian\'s words and they started to feel positive about this alliance.
Even the people who doubted about their decisions, after seeing what Velian was capable of, they quickly changed their minds.
And this change marked the begging of one of the greatest alliances in this land, which caused generations to talk about the emergence of the hero, who wasn\'t really a hero.
