Chapter 1154

“There was a huge commotion in Navia on the third day of you getting Gloria out of the island. My Navien friend told me about the incident, and I immediately set off for Isle 416,” explained Nicholas. “So you already left before Wyvern Peak arrived?” Nicholas nodded. “Though my medical skills are quite good, I’m a novice in everything else. I have sufficient means to deal with low-level challenges, but if you had been with me on Mount Shangspar, I wouldn’t have been injured.” Adrian said, “I’m not as powerful as you think I am.” “It’s enough that you’re more powerful than me,” said Nicholas. “Let’s crack the secrets of the Uduma Desert and Mount Shangspar together after I send Gloria back to Swallowston. Everything will be unveiled naturally then.” Nicholas raised his mug and smiled. Adrian said, “If you joined Wyvern Peak, you’d make an outstanding legate. There once was a legate with a medical background, and he was an exceptional legate.” Nicholas said, “Firstly, I don’t have the capabilities to do that. Secondly, I enjoy traveling the world. I’m not fond of the constraints of being in the military. I like being able to go wherever I want to go. The whole world is my oyster.” “What a shame,” lamented Adrian. He chuckled then added, “I’m still grateful to you anyhow.” Nicholas nodded. At this point, Adao approached the trio and said, “Doctors, there’s a visitor outside by the name of Brett Jancan. He says he wishes to meet the guests.” “Brett Jancan?” Nicholas was puzzled. Adrian hastily said after hearing the name, “He works for Crystal. I believe that he’s here to see me. Please let him in.” Adao nodded and it was not long before Brett entered the room. Brett hastily greeted, “War Legate Draco!” Adrian asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be on the opposite shore, Brett? What brought you here?” “How’s Ms. Gloria?” asked Brett. Adrian nodded. “Her treatment went smoothly and she’s fine now. Thank you for your concern.” Brett shook his head. “The thing is, sir, Navia sent me to find you. Something huge is happening at the border.” “What’s going on?” Adrian was puzzled. “Luposia has joined hands with Dragon Peak, Black Nergal, and organizations from Shangland, Excenom, Easton, and Indton. They’re trying to occupy the border in preparation to attack Navia while you’re not around.” Adrian’s brows instantly furrowed upon hearing this. Nicholas said, “I did hear some whispers on my way back from Mount Shangspar. Looks like Luposia and Shangland are the first countries to lose their cool.” Adrian asked Brett, “Crystal sent you to find me. What’s the matter?” Brett answered, “Her Majesty and the elders had a discussion and decided to bring forward the Wyvern Peak’s legate selection by six months. It’ll be held at the tail-end of this year to select a new legate. Her Majesty would like to seek your opinion on this matter.”
