Chapter 524 - Beastkin Capital
The news that the cheetah beastkins became a buzz in the whole community of Selvaggians. Perhaps the only thing that could top it off is the answer of the aeromorphs that they will join in the clan meeting which they have not done in a long time.
The supposed death of the Child of Disaster is still under wraps as they do not want to have a leakage of information. Only the ministers and guards at the time knew about the information. The Wolf of Disaster does not know this either as it has yet to launch a scourge of demon wolves unto the Selvaggian capital.
"Is it really true? I know that demons are not that easy to kill and are powerful, but did he really kill a Child of Disaster." Ashana asked as she is still having trouble believe everything.
"He did although the southern overlord is the one that did most of the job. He basically just supported the southern overlord in defeating this Child of Disaster. He is also on his way to the capital right now which is why I need to escort him from the gate." Kabrakan stated as he went to the direction of the gate leaving Ashana to her thoughts.
"I could not believe that I chose the right person. My instincts never failed me before but to actually result in a bigger reward is extraordinary. The only thing that needs to happen now is the extraction of the Wilde Flower. We still have enough time before it totally blooms." Ashana thought as she started becoming greedy with her prayers.

"I did not know that there is a lot of interesting things about this world but the thing that I want to know the most is the lack of a sea or ocean. I have seen rivers on our way, but you told me that they do not lead to a vast body of water but actually just underground water sources." Adrian stated as he is curious of the layout of The Wilde.
"The reason that there is no such thing as a sea or ocean that you speak of is the absence of creatures that need to live there. About a thousand or more years ago if I remember correctly, an ocean is actually present in this world, but the sea creatures evolved to walk on land which is why the world decided that it is unnecessary." The southern overlord stated as she has seen visions of the past world where there is an ocean.
"You told me that the world influences everything right? Could it not be the world made the sea creatures evolve? Could it be that the world needed to create the whole planet into a land mass because it acts as a seal?" Adrian asked but even the Sacred Snake could only wonder as well.
"I have been meaning to ask this but the beastkins that encounter us all bow to you. Is it normal for that to happen?" Adrian asked as this sort of thing continuously happened as soon as they entered the capital where the beastkins reside.
Adrian and the southern overlord first went to the fox clan, but they were told that the fox princess was not there while they bowed greatly. He then headed for the capital as the fox clan and even Kabrakan told him that the fox princess is there.
"The overlords not only serve as the protector of this world but also wise elders. Some of the Selvaggian race have come to us for guidance. Since the overlords know much about this world, they come to us seeking advice on things to do. The world will give them punishment if they do something that it does not want." The southern overlord replied.
"If that is the case then has the world done something to the new northern overlord?" Adrian asked as he wants to know what these punishments are.
"The punishments are basically drought, death of wildlife but the punishment in the north now is inarable land. This is one of the reasons why the demon wolves are attacking the different territories. When we enter the northern territory, you will see what I am talking about." The Sacred Snake answered.
"Equinox!" The sound of a familiar voice called out to Adrian.
"Kabrakan!" Adrian called back.
"You actually did it. I managed to persuade the ox clan elders and we have a higher chance of succeeding now with the fox clan on our side. Is this the southern overlord? I never knew that the famed southern overlord is a beautiful white snake." Kabrakan stated as he welcomed Adrian in the capital.
"Is this your friend? If that is so the I approve. A friend of the Blind Demon God is a friend of mine." The Sacred Snake stated.
"What did the southern overlord just call you? Blind Demon what now?" Kabrakan asked as he thought he heard wrong.
"Just take me on a tour around the Selvaggian Capital." Adrian stated as he wants to explore the capital of the beastkin capital.
The capital of the beastkin kingdom is called Selvag and is like a mix of elven home and human homes. Their houses and establishments are not like the elven buildings where they make it out of trees. The houses are made of some sort of material that does not destroy surroundings.
The buildings still feel natural, and the trees are still full of life. The one thing that is nice to see in the capital is the numerous beastkins of different species. There seems to be no discrimination or bullies when it comes to who is stronger or something.
As Adrian is being toured in the capital, a beastkin that looks like Kabrakan but older is suddenly scurrying to their location. The beastkin seems to know of Kabrakan as the old woman\'s eyebrows are blazing when she came charging at him.
"So, this is where you were! I thought I told you to stay in the castle as the king values you. What are we going to do if the king becomes angry at you for not doing what you are told?" the old ox beastkin stated as she hit Kabrakan\'s head.
The old ox beastkin woman then noticed that Kabrakan is with a white snake. Her eyes then became so big that it almost bulged out of its sockets. She then suddenly bowed to the southern overlord as she noticed her presence.
"O Great Guardian of the South! To grace us with your presence is a great blessing to us." The old ox beastkin woman stated as she also pulled Kabrakan to bow.
"You can rest at ease as I am here because my new friend is giving us a tour of the capital of the beastkins. I have been the southern overlord for a great amount of time, but I never knew that the beastkin capital is this beautiful in person." The southern overlord stated.
"Your great appreciation of our capital humbles us greatly. Might I know why the great southern guardian is being toured by my student?" The old ox beastkin woman stated.
"I am here because I will aid the Blind Demon God in exterminating the Wolf of Disaster. We have already killed one of its children with just the two of us then what more could we do if all the overlords participate." The Sacred Snake stated as she praised Adrian even more that the latter started to get embarrassed.
"Is that true then I without a doubt believe that we will be rid of the disaster. Praise the Guardians! Praise the Blind Demon God!" The old ox beastkin woman stated in praise which made Adrian become embarrassed even more.
"Yeah…Why don\'t we go to the castle now before things get out of hand? I need to get in touch with Ashana." Adrian stated as she did not want to see even more beastkins join this praise session.
"Yeah…Even I never seen that old woman become that fanatic. It seems that they really hold the overlords in high regard to the point of fanaticism." Kabarakan stated as he led them to Ashana\'s current whereabouts.
The guards of the castle easily let them through as they could feel the power of an overlord coming from the white snake. It was Kabrakan that told them that it is actually the southern overlord which made the guards nervous. Their greeting even became static like in response as their legs seem to almost give out.
The castle of the Selvaggian King is not lavish, but it is adorned by precious stones and great carvings. The castle could be described as antique ad has that old charm. Adrian thought that Ashana will be the first person to encounter him, but it is actually the King Leonidas himself.
"I greet the Champion of the Twin Gods and the Southern Overlord. Your presences are illuminating the halls of this castle." King Leonidas stated which made Adrian mute as he did not know hat to reply.
