Chapter 62: Future Civil Blood War

Because Nick has been working as a spy he caused many problems in the plot.

But I did him write it that way. Anyway in the next three years, he will be handling crucial information about the barriers that keep demons attacking humans and other races.

But it does not mean everything went neatly for Nick.

He got caught after that by our protagonist - Adrian.

After that, the 'Civil Blood War' began.

So what mean to say that there will be a civil war in 3 years, which would later be called the 'Civil Blood War'

And it all happened because of that guy in front of me.

Sigh… days ahead sure are tough.

Well, he's not my headache. Adrian will deal with him when the time comes.

But I think it will be too late for Andrin to stop him, after all by the time Adrian catches him he already handed over information to 'New Sun'.

I think I'm going to stop that 'Civil Blood War' from happening.

After all that war left humans, Elves and Drwafrs in a vulnerable state. Demons took that chance to strike them, they sent a small army of A-rank demons to attack Etheria.

And because of that Adrian doesn't get time for himself to get stronger.

'Let's stop him before he hands over that information.' I thought as I made up my mind.

"Ah, there you are."

It was at that moment that a charming voice and scent flowed towards me. Just by hearing the voice, I could tell who it was. I immediately straightened my back and focused on the movement behind me.

The owner of the voice then walked over and stood in front of me.

It was Sia Talen.

"You know me, right?"

Her eyes formed an arc as she stared at me.

"You don't?"

Sia asked again. I shook my head. Few people in this world didn't know 'vice-leader Sia.'

Sia is the vice leader of [ SS- ] rank Eldoria Grace Guild. Yes, the Guild name is the same as the city name.

"No, I know."

"That's a relief."

Many people in the venue turned their heads in our direction.

There were Adrian, Isabella and some high-ranking members of the World Government. And among this member, Nick also stares at us.

'Crap...' I don't want his attention now, after all, who knows what will he do to me.

At the moment he is too much for me. Hack he can kill me within minutes, after all, he is at the moment [A+] rank while I'm [E-]

"Let's go somewhere else and talk, there are many eyes on us."

Seeing that many people looking at us Sia suggests that let's go somewhere else.

"Sure," I said as I also didn't want others to look at me every second.

I mean I know that I'm handsome and all but there are limits, I don't want any stalker behind my back.

With that, we left the Eldoria sub-branch Hero Association.

***

We went to a nearby coffee shop. After ordering a drink, I sat down and turned to Sia.

"So what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked her, I have a few guesses as to why she is searching for me but I don't want those guesses to be true.

"Oh yeah, there are two things I want to about it but here take this first."

She handed me her business card, which was adorned with gold.

[Guild, Eldoria Grace, vice-leader Sia Talen.]

While I sat speechless looking at the business card, Sia continued.

"There's a lot I want to talk about, but unfortunately, I don't have enough time. So let's keep this short and I will get to the point."

Sia giving out her business card wasn't a simple matter. It was the first step of Sia-style recruiting I outlined in my novel.

I stared at Sia's eyes. Her beautiful brown pupils were calm.

"First I want you to join Eldoria Guild as an intern after graduating from Nova Academy, how about it, it's a neat offer for you."

"No, I don't want to join your guild," I replied immediately after she finished saying.

Her eyes widened at my word, she looked at me like I was some kind of fool.

Well from her perspective I'm a fool for declining such an offer. If this same offer is received by someone else he will take it whiteout doubt.

After all Eldoria Grace guild is the third largest guild in the human domain.

As for reason, I'm declining this offer.

Sia might look kind and graceful in the media, but in truth, she was extremely cold-hearted. Even talents she eagerly brought in were thrown away if they didn't meet her expectations. Bringing in what's necessary and throwing away what isn't. Survival of the fittest was Sia's true mindset, which wasn't known to the media.

"Have a good day," I said as I stood up.

I gave back her business card.

"Eh? Um, cadet Lucas? I think you're misunderstanding something. I'm interested in you, as the vice-leader of a rank 3 guild."

"I'm thankful for your interest, but only if that's real interest."

"I see."

We stay silent for a moment as we stare at each other.

"Even so, sit down for a moment I did tell you that I have 2 things to talk about, there is still something else I have to say."

I sat down after hearing her words, I knew that I was no match for her, so I better do what she said for a moment.

"Let's see this."

A small blue screen appears in the air in front of me. On that screen is a video playing it.

I lean forward to take a better look at the video and my eyes winded at what I saw.

"Yup, what are seeing is the CCTV camera recording of 'The Artifacts Room' incident."

She said after she stopped the video.

"Why are showing me this? I already know what happened there."

She took a deep breath and leaned forward towards me with a small smirk on her face.

"Let me tell you this from the start so you don't get confused."

Sia said and took a pause, I urged them to continue with my eyes.

"Lucas the light magic you used that blew up Fallen human right arm is a low-level magic. It can hurt him because it's light magic but it's low-level one."

"The Fallen human arm blew because of the artefact you were using at the moment. It increased the power of light magic by ten times and it blew his arm.

"So, you see during the investigation we were doing we found that only one artefact is a mission and that is a Nightshadow bow."

"So Lucas would you kindly give me a Nightshadow bow because last time you were the one holding it?"

'Oh crap, why doesn't think go my way for just one time.'

I thought as I found my back drenched with cold sweat.

***

"So Lucas would you kindly give me a Nightshadow bow, because last time you were the one holding it?"

"What do you mean Nightshadow bow? I don't have it."

I tried to play cool in this situation, I had forgotten about the CC TV camera I had made a mistake.

This is why they say greed is not right.

Lisa sighed and cressed her head and looked at me at the same time but this time her gaze was not normal anymore.

She has the look of a killer.

I felt a chill run down my spine as I tried to stay calm under her gaze.

"Cadet Lucas."

"Y-yes."

Sia sighed, looking at Lucas, who seemed a bit scared, sorry much scared of her and guilty for attempting to steal the Moonshadow Bow.

"Lucas, you need to understand the significance of the Moonshadow Bow. It's not just a powerful weapon; it carries a deep, ancient history. Elara Moonshadow, the original owner, wasn't just a skilled archer. She was a legend. The story goes that she ventured into a mystical forest and encountered a spirit of the moon itself.

This celestial being granted her the Moonshadow Bow, a weapon infused with the essence of the moon," Sia explained, her tone carrying a mix of reverence and awe.

Lucas listened intently, realizing the gravity of his actions.

"Elara used the Moonshadow Bow to become an unstoppable force, defending her homeland from any threat. The name 'Moonshadow' is a testament to her connection with the moon and the extraordinary power she wielded," Sia continued, trying to convey the rich history behind the bow.

Lucas nodded, absorbing the information. "I didn't know... I mean, I heard it was a powerful bow, but I had no idea about its history."

Sia leaned back, her expression softening. "Now you do. It's not just a weapon; it's a symbol. Legends like Elara Moonshadow should be remembered and respected. The Moonshadow Bow is a part of that legacy."
