Chapter 422 - 422: The Importance Of The Lords
“We only have ten Demonic Music Boxes in our hands right now. We haven’t started to promote them yet,” said Mestre.
There were just a few of them. They could be used at auction houses to be sold at a higher price.
Su Wan nodded. She had high expectations for the music boxes. However, the research and improvement for this treasure weren’t easy.
It had been almost two months, but there wasn’t much progress on it.
Su Wan kept thinking about what she had seen and heard at the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce. There was no time.
The world was changing fast. The return of the ancient gods would mark a new era. The gap between the Overlord Plane and the higher realm would become thin. Nami had explained that to Su Wan personally.
Nami’s words weighed heavily on Su Wan’s mind.
When the planes fused, there would be unprecedented deaths.
Mestre looked at Su Wan’s grave face and couldn’t help but call out softly to her. “My Lord?”
Su Wan was pulled back to the present. She looked at Mestre’s worried face.
“No matter what happens, I’ll always stand by your side,” said Mestre. “I have pledged my heart and soul to you and His Majesty Xu Yuan.”
Su Wan smiled warmly at her. No matter what happened, a loyal follower would be by her side. She wasn’t alone.
No one could subdue her territory and her troops. Not even a god!
“Mestre, the world is changing, and our territory will face the brunt of it too.” Su Wan reached out and patted her on the shoulder. “We must be prepared.”
The enemies they faced were unknown. They might have to fight legendary-level heroes and even gods! However, no matter what danger approached, her territory wouldn’t be shaken. Su Wan had faith in her territory and her troops.
Mestre left the hall after a while with newfound determination.
Su Wan watched her receding back and took a deep breath. She had promised Nami that she wouldn’t reveal too much about the Crimson Moon and the future of the world to anyone.
However, Mestre was in charge of the Lavender Business Guild. She was also highly professional. Seeing Su Wan reluctant to talk about it, she guessed her meaning from only a few words and didn’t ask further.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan argued a bit about the situation. She then leaned back on the chair and sipped her tea.
The forum was abuzz with posts. Sometimes, the Lords let slip valuable information. Su Wan checked the posts and discussions.
A headline on the front page caught Su Wan’s attention.
[I am a believer of the Sun God and an elite priest. Ever since the Crimson Moon appeared some time ago, the entire Sun Sect has gone crazy. They have used almost all their power to find information about the Crimson Moon.]
The posts became more and more frantic. The black-robed High Priests, who remained secluded, had come out of hiding.
Su Wan pieced together some information. The Crimson Moon was connected to the disappearance of the ancient gods. However, there were no official records in any library.
A chunk of history relating to the ancient gods and the time after their disappearance had been erased somehow. Only gods could do something like that!
Was it possible that the Crimson Moon was connected to the ancient gods and had a grudge against the new gods?
That was the question that haunted everyone. Even the Sun God was terrified of the Crimson Moon’s reappearance.
However, one thing was definite. The gods were wary of the Crimson Moon.
The Lords in the forum speculated that this might be the time when the war between the ancient gods and the new gods would take place.
[Everyone, be careful. This is not the end. I think the Lords will have an important part to play in all this.]
[That’s right. We are the Lords. Any entity coming to this plane would seek out the Lords and their support.]
Su Wan hadn’t thought about it that way. She turned to Look at Xu Yuan. She discussed it with him. Most Lords were weak, but they were indeed the backbone of the Overlord Plane. Even the Lords in the forum felt so.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan were deep in thought. They went through the forum for a long time and went to sleep late at night.
The role of the Lords in the new world was undecided. Perhaps the other Lords would be caught in the fray and discarded.
However, Su Wan’s territory was different. She also had formed some kind of relationship with President Nami, the true Lord of Crimson Moon.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan pondered the implications and consequences of the new change. If Crimson Moon tried to win people over to their cause, they might need the Lords to help them.
Su Wan had already established a friendship with Nami..
