�This Dragon is an Ancient Dragon who cherishes the World Tree and the Elves quite a bit.�

Cale stood up from the chair. Balbud, who was turning pale for multiple reasons, could see Cale looking down at him with a gentle expression. Cale fixed his clothes before saying one last thing to Balbud.

�Look forward to it.�

The next words were directed at Beacrox.

�Cover his eyes and knock him unconscious.�

�Should I paralyze him as well?�

�Yes.�

Balbud�s eyes were slowly covered with a black cloth. Balbud debated whether he should flail around or scream, however, Cale�s indifferent gaze made him stay still. He could not even die on his own accord anymore. He could hear the torturer asking Cale something else once he finished placing the blindfold around his eyes.

�What about a gag?�

�That too.�

�Yes sir.�

�You take care of everything. Just make sure he cannot kill himself, but that he is not relaxed either. Don�t overdo it though. Got it?�

�Yes sir.�

A gag was placed inside Balbud�s mouth. Cale peeked at Beacrox taking care of Balbud as he turned around.

�Shall we go?�

Pendrick and the Guardian Knight slowly nodded their heads at Cale�s casual question. The two Elves were looking at Cale as if he was an alien, but Cale just shrugged his shoulders.

All he did was scare Balbud enough so that he can have a quiet journey until they met with Alberu�s aunt, the Dark Elf, Tasha.

Plus, it wasn�t like he was lying.

Cale asked Pendrick, who had been standing there with a blank expression until they made eye contact.

�Did you pack your bags?�

�Yes sir.�

�Then I guess we can go.�

Cale�s true new party member was Pendrick, not Balbud.

However, there were people preventing Cale�s group from leaving. It was the other Elves of the village that Cale managed to avoid during his stay. JrNovels.com
