Chapter 362: Natsuki's Guess
🕑 Added 2025-08-12 02:43:05 +0000 UTCSitting by the window, Blake couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant. After a few days of wild fun with the three Vessel girls, he finally chose to set off, heading towards the western border of the War King's Dominion, where he had heard that clues left behind by the Black Death Emperor Sect had been discovered.
Although it was less than a week, the three little girls had developed a significant dependence on Blake. After all, he had provided them with delicious food, drinks, and entertainment every day, filling their blank hearts with rich colors. If that still wasn't enough, then he could only shake his head and sigh.
"You... we'll meet again in the future, right?"
"It feels a bit... not good. My heart feels a bit sour."
"These days of kindness... I... will definitely repay you."
At the time of parting, the three girls showed sadness, perhaps the most difficult emotion for them to understand since their birth.
"Seven three three."
"Don't forget our promise, we'll definitely meet again. Also, remember to convey our agreement to the other Vessels. You twelve sisters are a whole. Alright, parting
is for the next reunion, so..."
Fortunately, they were artificial life form Vessels. Although the three girls were a bit reluctant, they didn't act spoiled or try to make things difficult for Blake.
After all, what occupied their minds the most right now was their innate mission, for their original body, the Fourth Progenitor.
However, Blake was very relieved to leave the three of them behind. Firstly, Vatler wasn't interested in women.
And he had also learned from him that the ruler of the War King's Dominion, the First Progenitor, the Forgotten War King, had ordered that no harm should come to the Vessels. Coupled with Blake's instructions, this guy would probably indulge them like princesses, as long as they didn't do anything unnecessary.
"You spent the last few days playing wildly with those three Vessels. I thought you would forcibly take them away." Returning to the present perspective, sitting on the plane heading towards the eastern border of the War King's Dominion, Natsuki said with a hint of mockery and a half-smile.
"I can't do such bandit-like things. Anyway, the banquet is about to start, so I'll just snatch them openly then." Hearing this, Blake rolled his eyes and retorted before declaring violently.
"Suit yourself. I really don't understand what Vatler was thinking, actually letting a rival like you play with his Vessels." Natsuki said, pouting.
"Who knows?" Hearing this, Blake shrugged casually. Vatler let him be because he knew the Vessels' mission always came first, so they wouldn't run away. Secondly, he also had a glimmer of hope that this rival of his could somehow lure the Vessels away, so he could then fight with all his might.
Of course, he also intended to observe him.
"I can handle the Black Death Emperor Sect's matter alone. You don't need to come along. Or do you have some other sinister plot?" Then, Natsuki asked, frowning, her face full of suspicion. In her impression, Blake wasn't such a warm-hearted guy, more of a complete sadist.
"How sad, Natsuki-chan. I'm clearly worried about you."
Hearing this, Blake put on a melancholy expression and said with a sob in his voice.
"Tsk, stop acting, it's so fake. Fine, whatever, just don't get in my way." Seeing this, Natsuki's expression stiffened, and her lips twitched as she spoke.
"Hehe, of course, I never go back on my word." Hearing this, Blake instantly turned into a smiling face, as if the previous melancholy expression had never existed.
"Suit yourself." Natsuki Minamiya raised an eyebrow, finally able to utter only these two words.
In a hidden forest on the western border of the War King's Dominion, a group of beastmen roared, swearing their so-called revolution and their upcoming plans.
And in a tree not far from the beastmen's circle, a man completely shrouded in black robes watched them with a mocking gaze.
These beastmen were ultimately muscle-brained fools, easily provoked by him. As long as he used these guys to cause destruction and attract attention, he would seize the opportunity to snatch the three Vessels kept in the War King's Dominion. Then, he would definitely win this Flame Feast. He would become the new Fourth Progenitor!
Become the Fourth Progenitor and rule the world! Thinking of this, the black-robed man's eyes burned fiercely... After all, he had already obtained the Vessels of the First Familiar, the Diamond of the Divine Sheep; the Second Familiar, the Amber of the Minotaur King; the Eighth Vessel; and the Ninth Familiar, the Deep Crimson of the Two Horns. If he could get three more, then he could almost certainly secure victory!
While the black-robed man's mind was filled with ambition, he didn't notice that the eyes of the four girls standing behind him, who had the same appearance as Aurora, all flickered, as if they had received some strange information.
"Finally arrived. Say, Natsuki-chan, did you really find a clue?" Casually getting off the plane, Blake asked nonchalantly.
This was the northwestern border of the Night Empire that covered Europe, the War King's Dominion ruled by the First Progenitor.
No, rather than a border, it was more appropriate to describe it as an official road. Unlike the southeastern direction, which was a war-torn border area, the several kingdoms and autonomous regions in the northwest had friendly relations with the War King's Dominion, at least on the surface.
Especially the Kingdom of Aldegyr in Northern Europe had frequent exchanges with the War King's Dominion.
Speaking of the Kingdom of Aldegyr, Blake couldn't help but think of the little angel Kanon and the silver-haired, elegant, bold yet girlish Princess La Folia Rihavein in his memory.
"Yes. According to the information, the beastmen's movements have been discovered here many times. There are even traces of large-scale weapons transportation. It makes me suspect they will do something to this diplomatic mission." Hearing this, Natsuki was silent for a moment before finally choosing to speak.
"Attacking the envoys of the Kingdom of Aldegyr is indeed something terrorists could do." Hearing this, Blake wasn't surprised at all, just shrugging casually.
"If that's the case, then I'll leave it to Natsuki-chan. I won't bother you." Then, Blake leisurely walked in the other direction, making Natsuki frown, wondering what Blake was thinking.
