CHAPTER 67
The entrance to Solitude Found is found in the forest biome. While all three territories send parties into the tunnels, treasures found by all are shared amongst the territories, with half going to the Warlord of the successful party and the other half split between the other two Warlords. Disputes over this have led to war, so they have a strict review and assessment process. They know knowledge is highly coveted by the Human University, so they do their best to collect what they can from their tunnels and sell it to the University. They don't have any interest in academics. They might be the most difficult territory to get permission from." Everyone stared at Jhaan in shock, as this was the longest they'd ever heard him speak. "How the fuck did you learn so much about the Orcs?" Yellsbeth asked incredulously. Jhaan just grinned at her. "I know things." Dystra grimaced in distaste. "He's visited all the territories." Jhaan glanced at the other Elf and nodded. "I wasn't alwa
CHAPTER 66
Flipping open the end cap, Alex tipped the tube, and a rolled sheet of flexible material slid out. When he unrolled it between his hands, it became a stiff square and maintained this shape. He looked at Eon. "Place your hand on the middle of the map," the drone instructed. The sheet was remarkably light, so he held the edge in his left hand and placed the palm of his right on the center of the square. The entire surface pulsed with a gentle light and then displayed a wireframe model of GreenTree Dynasty. Controls appeared along the outside edges of the map. Some were easily deciphered, while others he'd need instructions for. He touched a symbol resembling a book, and a guide appeared. "Holy shit!" Dale exclaimed. "A complete map! Do you know how valuable that one artifact is? This party and each of our one hundred best friends could retire for life on just that!" Alex snorted in amusement. He recalled what Eon said about the drones. "Does this map work outside the city?" "N
CHAPTER 65
When they were positioned to see the wall, the drone projected the image against the stone wall, and Alex had his first look at the world, or at least a large mega-continent, on it. Eon showed the mountain ranges, plains, wetlands, and deserts. Amongst this varied topography, seven dots were positioned with their names. Joah made a choking sound. "Shadow Cape is in Goblin Territory!" Alex looked at him in surprise. "I've only met a few, and they weren't friendly." "They're evil, cunning bastards! They consider Human flesh to be particularly delicious, though they prefer women and children," Joah muttered bitterly. Alex could hear the man's pain, so there was some history there. Judging by his expression, now wasn't the time to discuss it. "Going back to the concept of eliminating the monsters, this has broader implications. There won't be a need to force everyone into the Adventurer role. People could be allowed to find another path," Alex reasoned. Dale frowned. "The powe
CHAPTER 64
Alex floated amongst tart clouds and warm music. He could feel energy seeping back into his worn body and a faint red glow surrounded his head as his eyes slowly tracked movement before him. They were hidden behind a veil of abstraction for his safety, but he knew the Gods were watching him. The first emotions he recognized were elation and relief. He'd done something the Gods were happy about. An image of the portal collapsing rushed by, and he felt Agron's pleasure. Ffornexa and Ullentra were pleased as well. The mission. He needed to close the portals! Agron's impatience spiked, but Ffornexa slipped forward, and Alex felt... expectation? More? The portals were only part of the mission? Now Agron and Ffornexa were very pleased, and Alex felt that like a pressure wave rushing at his mind. Ullentra intervened, and the red glow surged momentarily over his mind, taking him from their presence. When Alex's perceptions returned, he felt Ullentra's anger directed toward the o
CHAPTER 63
Alex lost his breath as if someone had kicked him in the chest. He rocked on his feet, then dropped to his knees as he clutched his cramping stomach. He closed his eyes and tried to ride it out. Lisa Danvers. The kind woman who'd wanted to be an accountant before being pulled into this horrible game of Gods, Magic, and Death. His rage flared and he felt an echo but pushed it back. He felt a hand on his head and a larger one on his shoulder. He somehow knew it was Lyra and Ti'Nah. When he got his breathing under control, he looked up at Dystra. "Who else was killed?" The assassin watched him and then nodded. "A man named Donovan Bennet, blessed by Grolex, so potentially an archer, and a young man named Mark Lindstrom, blessed by Saphra to be some kind of warrior." "That might be the Mark I know. I never got his last name, but he was going through training with Lisa—and Devya! Was there any sign of an ID card for a Devya Khandelwal?" he gasped. Dystra shook his head. "There
CHAPTER 62
Lyra knew she would be targeted by one of the bandits but was surprised to see it wasn't Gerritt. He was focused on Alex. She caught the motion of a slim man darting between the fighters on a path to her. She caught the eyes of one of her party with a nod, then launched her whirlwind spell. Containing it to such a tight space to not impact the others was incredibly difficult but she pinpointed a spot before her and launched it as the greasy man lunged into the space. Then, he was no longer a threat. She could direct her attention to party members who needed healing now. -=- Bingg found himself suddenly airborne, spinning, and flung to the left. He landed inelegantly and lost his wind as his sword bounced away. As he struggled to his knees, head spinning, he tried not to lose his stomach contents. Instead, he lost an ear. Then the other as he turned his face from the pain. Next went his nose. Screaming in pain and terror, he managed to reach his feet and face the terr
