Harry Potter joins the darkest dark arts in France under the banner of wolves what to do but bite in?

In a hole in a mountainside, there reside two dwarves. Not a cold, wet hole filled with the waste of bats and the stench of rotting carcasses: it was a dwarven hole, and that means it is a military outpost. The hole connects to a balcony overseeing the Raiden Forest.

The two dwarves sat on the balcony, looking out at the sun setting down the horizon. Their outpost lay on the border between the Raiden Forest and the Bolsca Kingdom, a mountain kingdom inhabited by mostly dwarves. The king assigned garrisons in the border of the Radien Forest to watch over the goblins and stop any looters or large armies from entering the forest. 

The Dwarves garrisoned in the outposts are known as rangers. Each outpost has seven to eleven dwarves, five to eight of these rangers would patrol the forest while the rest stay at the outpost. The two rangers sitting on the balcony were waiting for the patrolling party to come back. One of the dwarves has a long and curly black beard. He has a scar on the left eye, a short stubby nose, and wrinkles around his eyes; he wears a white wig to hide his bald head. The other dwarf had a younger complexion. He had a goatee, bushy eyebrows, and a bowl cut.

"Aleksy, can I ask you a question?" The young dwarf asked.

"What is it, Damari?" The old one answered.

"Why are we doing this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, as rangers, we have to protect the forest and the goblins that live in the forest. It doesn't really make sense to me. So what if a bunch of adventurers enters the forest to loot and kill goblins. Why should we care? Goblins are a nuisance to our kingdom. Why protect them?"

Aleksy pondered for a few seconds before giving his answer, "I don't really know why, but I do know its because of a promise."

"You mean that promise."

"Yeah, the promise our king made to the people of the forest. You know those abandoned towns and cities?"

"Yeah, I know about those."

"The people that lived there once made a contract with the king. The king promised to protect the forest and the goblins from outside countries."

"But why, though? It doesn't make any sense. Sure no one knows who the people that lived in those towns and cities were. In fact, we have no records about the country that lived in the forest besides that contract the king made with them. But we do know that those goblins must be the cause for the countries downfall. Wouldn't it make more sense if we promised to avenge them rather than protecting the very enemy that destroyed them."

"You make a good point, new blood!" An old dwarf said down the plight of stairs. It was the patrolling party returning after a day of scouting. They climbed up the stairs connected to the balcony. They looked tired and hungry from their expedition. 

"It seemed like you guys had a long day, Farzin," Aleksy said.

"A long day indeed," Farzin responded. He had a short brown beard and curly brown hair. He sat down next to Aleksy and Damari on the balcony while the rest of the party entered the hole. "You would not believe what we saw today."

Damari leaned in closer, "What did you see?"

"We saw a troll statue."

"What?" Damari exclaimed.

"What is a troll doing outside during the day?" Aleksy asked.

"I may have some idea." A female dwarf walked to the three after putting away her heavy coat. "You see, we saw the troll looking down a cliff. We climbed down to investigate, and we saw this." She pulled out a lump of fur.

"What's that, Peigi? Damari asked.

"Its fur from Timber Wolves," Peigi answered, "Timber Wolves can be found all over the north, and they come in packs of seven. But some wolves were tamed by trolls and other semi-intelligent animals. We also found a broken spear and a pool of blood. It's very likely that goblins killed a Timber Wolf or two that belonged to a troll family. And a member of that troll family didn't retreat to their cave until she found their wolves."

"Never knew goblins could kill a Timber Wolf." 

"Hahaha," Aleksy laughed, "You'd be surprised new blood! During my twenty years as a ranger, I've witnessed goblins take on much bigger prey just by using their wits. Never underestimate the weak."

"We also know at least three goblins that could kill a Timber Wolf on a one on one confrontation," Farzin said while walking towards a cabinet. He pulled out a bottle of vodka and took a sip. "There is Tama, who is so strong he can overpower a wolf with sheer strength. Then there is Sum, a clever goblin and equally strong as Tama. Finally, the chief of the Lev tribe, a hobgoblin called Cala, has the power to use the mana in his body to strengthen himself. He could kill a wolf with one swing of his sword."

"And which one killed the troll's wolf," Damari asked.

"Not Cala, I could tell you that," Farzin said with confidence, "He is strong but paranoid. Cala is too busy worrying about losing his power to go out and hunt a Timber Wolf." 

"And Sum is guarding the tribe's southern border," Peigi added.

"Which only leaves Tama as the culprit behind the wolves' death. It makes sense, though. We have reports from the outpost north of us that they saw Tama and his men killing a young troll. Those wolves were probably sent to kill Tama." Farzin took out four small cups from the cabinet and walked to the other dwarves. He gave each of them a cup and poured vodka in them. The four cheered then gulped down the vodka. 

"Now, that's good stuff!" Farzin and Aleksy yelled. Both of them looked at each other with astonishment then laughed. "We are too much alike!" Yelled Aleksy.

After a few more drinks, the sun disappeared from the sky and replaced by the sparkling stars and gentle light of the moon. The night was silent, but Damari's mind did not quiet down. His question was still unanswered. He turned to Peigi, hoping for an answer he could be happy with. "Peigi, do you know any other reason besides the promise as to why we are protecting the forest and the goblins?"

Peigi looked up to the sky, thinking about a possible answer to give Damari. While searching for an answer, she recalled a memory when she was a child. A story her mother told her. "You should know about the legend of the Slave Queen Titania. How she united the races of the world to defeat the Sky People, an invading empire coming from the sky?"

"Yeah, I know about her. Everyone knows." Damari said.

"Well, there are thirteen goblin tribes in the forest. The tribe we watch over has about two hundred goblins. Let's say that's the average for all the other tribes except for three. Three tribes live inside large, ruined cities, so their population is much larger. Let's say about four thousand each. Altogether, the goblin population numbers in fourteen thousand. Now, I know you're new, but you should already know that everyone in their tribe, excluding children, are soldiers ready for war. With such a large number of goblins, do you think our kingdom can win against them."

Damari began to sweat, "No, that sounds like an unstoppable horde."

"Exactly, but individually, they are weak. Our army of two thousand men strong could wipe out two tribes easily. But if we do that, what do you think would happen."

"The other goblin tribes would unite against us!" Damari yelled as if he had a eureka moment.

"The thirteen tribes are busy fighting amongst themselves, but the moment we give them a reason to unite, then we have a horde goblins ready for battle. Worst of all, goblins can breed with the other races, and their hybrid spawns, for some reason, can grow into an adult in fourteen days. They can become an unstoppable war machine." Peigi burped, "That's why we protect them and the forest. If one of those independent counts, dukes, or kingdoms decides to exterminate the goblins, they could end up waking the beast that destroyed whatever country or kingdom that once resided in that forest." 

"I never thought of it like that," Damari said with a bewildered expression.

Just as the four dwarves continued to drink the night away, a tremendous roar came out from the forest. The dwarves looked out the balcony. The troll the patrol team saw turned back into flesh.

In the dark forest, the stone casket crumbled as the troll moves. Its muscles flexed and loosened as the troll cry to the moon. Her wolves are gone, killed by the very same goblins that killed her brother. Hate and vengeance clouded her mind. Only the death of the goblins would satiate her thirst for blood.

They should have fought back. They felt his disdain, but no one wanted to believe - believe that they were never loved. That they can just appease him again. Sacrifice their lives again. Conquered their enemies again. Built wonders for his majesty again. And when they finally accepted the truth, it brought them to their knees as his machines burned down their wonders and reduced them back into animals.

But there was still hope. The Stellars told of our survival. Our downfall was just the beginning. Our regression into animals was merely a delay. At the time, our people were split into different tribes. Before the doors to the infinite sea are open. There will be a child born to stand against his machines, born to challenge his majesty. And with a sword in one hand and a scepter on the other, that child - that hero, will lead his kingdom. The kingdom of goblins.

Sun, the goblin child born to save all of goblin kind. A former human from an unknown world died and reborn with little memory of his past. Join him as he takes on the world, make new friends, uncover the secret of his past, and lead the goblin kind from the darkness.

Mr. Black dumbfounded and had no response, but Lord Milburn rubbed his hands. When he saw the President's actions, he was shocked. Last time Diana had proposed to send the woman to the wolf mountain, he hadn't known the identity of this woman. If he had known, he wouldn't have done it.
He just hoped Gabrielle would forget it.
"If you want to know about Tina, you might as well stay in the city." He suggested immediately .
"I'm not your king." Gabrielle protested, but it was not useful.
Gabrielle saw that more and more people gathered around. Although she was still in a state of confusion, she followed them into the city.
Besides, when she looked at Mr. Black and his bodyguards, she knew she couldn't fight against them.
She caressed the jade whistle hanging on her chest uneasily and began to wonder what it was.
The city was not big, which was full of rich exotic customs and mystery.
Lord Milburn led her all the way to a towering ancient building. The building was with an archaic design.
Gabrielle secretly glanced at Mr. Black, who walked on her right side with a serious and nervous look. He has been peeking at her, and she felt embarrassed.
"President, do you mistake me for Tina? I have heard that I look like her, but I'm really not her. She is your king, but I'm not."
"We know you're not Tina."
Gabrielle, "..."
Why did they always call her Your Grace? She couldn't afford it.
"Have you ever heard of the nation of wolves?"
"I never heard of it." But for Diana, she would never have seen wolves in the mountain.
Mr. Black gave her an odd glance, "The nation reigned in the north decades ago. It led the six countries, and Ancient Country was among them. It was also the most powerful period of the nation, and it became the most prominent northern nation."
Gabrielle seemed to understand what he said, but she was not interested in this. She was more interested in Tina.
Mr. Black apparently did not intend to change his topic. When they went into the building, he said, "Ten years ago, something happened to the nation. The six countries have been divided, and the elites in the nation have been forced to live in various countries. They have the responsibility of rebuilding the nation, and the first condition for rebuilding the nation is..."
After finishing his words, he looked at her, which made her creepy.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "No..."
"Yes, it is you."
Gabrielle was shocked, and when she calmed, she then patted him on the shoulder, "I see. Do you want me to recommend you to a director who will make your play into a movie?"
Mr. Black, "..."
"In fact, your play is suitable for production, and the effect must be very shocking."
Mr. Black, "..."
Gabrielle did not intend to give Mr. Black a chance to speak at all and said, "But this kind of production..."
"Don't forget you have learned how to train wolves." Mr. Black quickly interrupted Gabrielle.
"How do you know that?"
"It was hard for me not to know such a great thing that night." Mr. Black said meaningfully, "The condition that dominates the wolves is to train them."
"Well. There are so many people who learn how to train wolves, and I can give you the spell of the wolf-training. You can learn it, and it's up to you to revive the nation."
Mr. Black chuckled, "You think it's that simple? For decades, you've been the only one who knows the witchcraft to train wolves."
Gabrielle shook her head, "I found it in Tina's bedroom. I was bored, so I learned it. It has nothing to do with me."
"Do you know how Tina died?"
Gabrielle shook her head, blankly.
"She learned witchcraft in private, so she was killed by witchcraft."
"She was not..."
"Although Tina had the qualification to pass on the thousand-year witchcraft, she couldn't control it."
Gabrielle noticed the change of Mr. Black's expression and found a strange emotion in his eyes when he mentioned Tina.
"Oh, did you check what I had to do with Tina?"
"She is your twin sister.
Gabrielle, "..."
In fact, she had guessed the answer, but she was still surprised.
"How did I get to A Country?"
Mr. Black shrugged to show he didn't know, and Lord Milburn took them to the living room.
Gabrielle could not help but ask again, "Are there any other families?"
"No."
Gabrielle responded with desperation and then stood up, "In that case, even if I stay here, I can't know what I want to know. I would like to leave."
She was not familiar with this place, which was very mysterious and strange.
She didn't care about the nation, which was none of her business.
"You cannot go yet." Mr. Black said to her, "They need you."
"You should not be serious? I am really not interested in that."
After that, she saw the bodyguards were ready to take action. If she walked out, those people would rush over to arrest her.
"It's not something you're interested in or not. As the king of the nation, you have to take your responsibility."
When Gabrielle heard Mr. Black's words, she had a breakdown.
Was he really serious?
At this time, Gabrielle really wanted to strangle herself. Why did she come to Ancient City?
She sent herself to a place like this.
She stared at Mr. Black for a while and then looked at Lord Milburn, "You just called me Your Grace?"
"Is my position higher than yours?"
Mr. Black nodded, "Yes."
"Do you all have to listen to me?"
"Yes."
Gabrielle was very satisfied with his attitude at this time. She imagined that she accepted the worship of these people.
Unfortunately, this feeling lasted less than a second. She tried to pull herself back to reality and then said, "Well, you let them all back away. I have to go."

He had said they were connected. He had told her before that he could make it to where she would live forever and never grow old if she was his human servant. He had offered it to her but she hadn't agreed to it. How could he do that to her without her agreeing to it? What if she decided she didn't want to live forever as his human servant? At least with him turning her into a vampire, she had the freedom to go wherever she wanted or do whatever she wanted. Being his servant meant she was under his command. She found this made her angry. And all of this was on top of the fact that he almost killed her. 
 "You're awake. How are you feeling?" the doctor asked her.
 "I've had better days. I guess all in all I feel okay since I was drained of a lot of my blood."
 "Yes. That is why I didn't want you to go to the vampire. Vampires are our natural enemies."
 "So, did you leave Nathaniel alone for two days because you don't like vampires?" Dominique asked, incredulously.
 "I wouldn't say that exactly. I honestly don't know how they heal or function and have never cared to know. Had I have known not having blood would cause him to do that, I could have given him some of the blood we had in storage. But, I will not say that I like vampires. What is he to you?" 
 "He's someone I'm in love with. I'm not sure what he is to me now. I believe he marked me and made me his human servant," Dominique said as she struggled to sit up.
 "Just lay still for a while so you can recuperate. I thought you belonged to the wolf?" The doctor asked as he made her lay back down.
 "I don't belong to anyone. I'm not with either one of them if you want to get technical," Dominique replied, dryly. 
 "Who is the father of your baby?" The doctor asked.
 "Tim is. The wolf. Of course, I didn't know he was a wolf when I got with him. I also didn't know I was pregnant until Nathaniel told me. But, I'm a normal person, so I don't know if the baby will be a werewolf or not."
 "Most wolves have wolf offspring. Your wolf was turned not born as a werewolf, correct?"
 "Right. One of Jacob's pack members turned him when he wouldn't sleep with her. Does that matter when it comes to the baby being a werewolf?"
 "Chances are still high that the baby will be a wolf but there is a slim chance of having a normal baby. I would not take the chance of going to a regular doctor for checkups. I offer my services to be the doctor for you. I will see you through the pregnancy as I have countless others. When it is time for the baby to be born, you can have the baby here as well. This way if any of your bloodwork comes back abnormal in human standards, you will be okay. What is normal for humans is not for wolves. Our bloodwork looks odd. I will not try to explain that to you."
 "You said that your Alpha killed Jacob. What happened to his pack?"
 "The ones who fought for Jacob died. I suppose the rest of the pack are either on their own or they pledge themselves to Nicholas. I'm sure that Nicholas will allow them to become part of our pack as long as they live by his rules."
 "What if they don't want to be a part of a pack? What happens then?"
 "Then they will be considered a rogue and whatever happens to them will be on them. However, our kind will not allow them to expose us. If there is any risk of exposure, well, they will be killed. Your wolf is powerful but he is not as powerful as our Beta. He is as powerful as our Gamma. He could, if he wanted, challenge our Gamma," the doctor replied.
 "Tim hates being a wolf. I doubt he would challenge anyone."
 "Perhaps he hates it because he has not been part of a true pack. I understand that Jacob was a cruel Alpha. Nicholas is nothing like that. He rules with an iron fist but he is not cruel. We live in peace unless someone gets out of line. But, even then, we are given a second chance to prove our loyalty. Jacob just killed the wolves that did not do what he wanted. He had an enforcer. That enforcer would either kill, maim, or just plain injure them. It was never a good thing. Nicholas will punish you but it does not injure you permanently and it takes you doing something truly horrible to warrant death. Everyone in his pack has a job and he does not disturb that job."
 "Maybe Tim might like being a part of Nicholas' pack, but I can't say yes or no to that one. Do you have to live on his land or what?"
 "No. We do all live in close proximity to each other, but some of us live in other areas further out in the country. Alphas have territories and that makes it hard for the wolves to really branch out unless they become apart of another pack," the doctor explained. 
 "I see. So, if Tim were to become a part of Nicholas' pack, would he have to move? He lives in Jacob's territory, but since Jacob is no longer alive, is that now Nicholas' territory?"
 "Yes, it is. Unless Nicholas decides to put another Alpha in Jacob's place. He may just do that, but if he does, it will more than likely be one of his own people."
 "I see. I'm kind of hungry but I still feel tired. Would it be alright if I got up and got some food? I would need a ride actually so never mind."
 "I will get you some food, Dominique. We are not cruel here, remember? Nicholas has a truce with the vampire. That truce gave him protection from our pack. He included you in that protection. You will find no ill will from anyone here."
 "Thank you. What is your name, Doctor?"
 "Benjamin. I will be back. You lay here and rest," Benjamin said as he patted her hand.
 "Thank you, Benjamin."
 Benjamin nodded and walked out of the room. Dominique did not seem to be experiencing any signs of changing. He was optimistic that the blood transfusion would not cause her any harm. He was thankful for that. He mind-linked JJ and let her know that he was getting some food for Dominique so she would go ahead and prepare it. He wasn't sure what she liked so he hoped whatever JJ fixed would be agreeable to her. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Nathaniel sensed that Dominique was awake. The doctor had taken care of her. Her body was not in pain any longer. He sensed the life inside of her. She had not miscarried. He was thankful for that. He wanted to talk to her. He needed to know what she thought about what he had done. Losing her wasn't an option. He couldn't live without her. He began to call her name.
 Dominique was laying in the bed and started hearing Nathaniel's voice. She closed her eyes as she realized it was in her head. Her anger over the fact that he had taken her freedom away flared again. She was supposed to have a choice in whether or not she chose to be with him. They had talked about it and he had told her that he would wait for her no matter how long it took. He continued to call her name until she projected her thoughts at him without even realizing it.
"I'm sorry, Dominique. I was crazed with bloodlust and my thoughts were to make you mine. I gave you no choice in the matter and I know that you are angry at me for that. I can not blame you. I just hope that you will find it in you to forgive me. It is close to dawn. I needed to know that you were alright. Nicholas does not want me to leave this room for now. I am respecting his wishes but I feel the need to see you and hold you to make sure you are alright."
Dominique was not sure how this worked. Did she just think what she wanted or did she talk out loud? How could she express what she was feeling? Could she find it in herself to forgive Nathaniel? He had promised not to push the issue. This wasn't just pushing the issue of choosing him but forcing her to choose him. Being his human servant had connected them. She belonged to him. Could she run away and not have him be able to call her back? Obviously, he was still in her head because he began to explain the situation to her.


Dominique is the owner of a club. She meets the man of her dreams just as the man she once loved comes back into her life. But is the man of her dreams really the man she thinks he is? How does she choose between the two in a love triangle when neither one of them is telling her the truth about themselves? Will she survive in a world she knows nothing about?


*******My Life As A Luna*********

The sequel to Nightmare at Club X involves Dominique’s life with Tim. They wind up in a war with another pack. Will they survive it? Will her children find their mates? How does Dominique handle being a wife, mother, and Luna?

Saito opened his eyes and was astonished to see a pretty face of a cute girl, with blonde hairs and green eyes. Her green dress which covered up her large boobs, for a minute he forgot what happened and guessed that he was in heaven.

Iris started speaking [Master has completely recovered now. Your magic reserves are about 3 times as of before.] Those words brought him back to reality and he instantly remembered everything that happened before he went unconscious.

He abruptly stood up and saw both brother sister staring at him with a very surprised face. He mentally commanded Iris 'Check the condition of Reus again.'

Iris commanded almost instantly [He is out of any real danger. Now, he simply needs to develop normally and he would be able to achieve the peak of his power.]

Saito nodded his head and said to the both of them, "Well, good news for the both of you. Reus's problem has been treated."

Lyra and Reus both cheered up at his words, they started jumping up and down on the bed. It was really embarrassing for Saito since as he stared at Lyra, her breasts were bouncing up and down as well, he didn't want to stare at the breasts of a 16-year-old but damn that was really erotic.

After they finished jumping on the bed, they were on their knees as they bowed, "We are thankful for the trouble you took to heal him/ me. We won't ever forget this favor."

Saito smiled widely and touched their faces, raising their heads, "Don't worry. It's not that big of a deal, besides, I also gained quite a bit from this. My body has evolved with the Nature Magic and I can use it as well."

Lyra was very excited to hear that, "That's really great brother Edwin. I know many skills of Nature magic; I can teach them to you if you want."

"Sure, that would be great!" Saito smiled as he responded back to her. He stared at Reus and said, "Now, you should train extra hard to get a strong body. It would be good if you mature quickly and gain more power."

Reus nodded his head as he understood that fact. Reus suddenly bowed his head and requested, "I, Reus Vajor take up an oath that I shall serve master Edwin for eternity."

Saito also heard Iris speaking inside his head [Congratulations master for receiving an eternal servant named Reus Vajor, the prince of the Elven Kingdom.]

Saito was a bit overwhelmed at how he took an oath to serve him. However, this wasn't finished, Lyra did the same as well. She said, "I, Lyra Vajor take up an oath that I shall serve master Edwin for eternity."

Saito once again heard Iris chiming in [Congratulations master for receiving an eternal servant named Lyra Vajor, the princess of the Elven Kingdom.]

Saito let out a sigh as this wasn't what he planned or had in mind at all. He held their hands and took them out of the cottage, he called out for all the Shadow Lightning Wolves and said to both of them, "Pick the one you like. That wolf will be your pet from now on."

Both of them pointed out to the one they liked. Lyra picked up Joergen's mate while Reus picked a male wolf. Since they had chosen their wolves, Saito thought 'Looks like I should name these both now. Hmm… Names for a female and male wolf.'

He stared at the wolf that Lyra chose and said, "From now on, your name will be Emma. Emma, always protect Lyra at all costs. And Lyra, take care of Emma."

He turned his head towards the wolf chosen by Reus, "Your name shall be Nexus. Nexus, always protect Reus from harm. Reus, take care of Nexus, it's your responsibility."

Both the brother-sister pairs nodded. They were very excited to have the pets of their own. Even though Lyra was very confused 'How come master Edwin has these rare beasts? I didn't think someone would be able to tame 5 Shadow Lightning Wolves.'

Meanwhile, now that he had named both of their wolves, Saito was thinking 'Iris, is there any way I can evolve Joergen? It's not a competition or anything but I want it to be special.'

Saito swore he felt Iris sweat drop internally but he received a response [It is possible to evolve it. These Shadow Lightning Beasts seems to have formed a Magical Core within their bodies. The magical core is something which exists in all of the magical beasts, you just need to kill a very strong magical beast and let Joergen eat its core. That shall be the trigger to its evolution.]

Saito was very excited to know that he could evolve Joergen, he stared at Joergen with a very excited look 'Well, I will let you eat the Magical Core of one of the strongest magical beasts. Maybe a Dragon's core would be good enough.'

[Warning to Master. You are still not strong enough to defeat a Dragon. The Dragon's existence is atleast on the same level or greater than that of a Great Demon King.]

Iris dropped a bucket a cold water over his excitement 'Damn… I need to train very hard and get stronger. Dragon's core…kekekekeke… I will definitely get you and feed it to Joergen.'

'Joergen will be the best pet in the world. Kuku kuku…' As Saito was thinking along those lines with an evil laugh.

Iris spoke in a low voice [Error! Master is going crazy. Error!]

Saito heard its sound and coughed 'Ehem… not very nice Iris.'

He stared at both of his new servants playing around with their Wolves. He sweat-dropped as he saw the intimidating Shadow Lightning Wolves playing around with these kids.

Saito also joined them and played around as well, he was getting too bored sitting in the cottage thinking up of what he should do next.

After an hour, Lyra and Reus were both tired that they fell down on the bed of their own room. Saito opened the door to their room and sat together with them.

He asked them with a serious face, "Lyra, tell me what you know about this world. Tell me everything you know, okay?"

Lyra nodded her head and proceeded to tell Saito everything about the world, "From what I know, there is a Great Kingdom of humans on top of a dangerous forest mountain. Other than the humans, there are Demon Lords who occupy a territory of their own. Dwarves, who have their own country as well as the elven kingdom situated in the Forest of Life."

Saito had multiple questions right now and he asked them, "Demon Lords? Are they stronger than the Great Demon Kings? And Forest of Life? Where is it situated? And what else do you know about Human Kingdom and Dwarf Country."

Lyra started to answer his questions, "Demon Lords are the some of the strongest existence in the world. The Great Demon King work directly under them. For an estimate, the Demon Lord is at least 10's of times stronger than a Great Demon King. Each of the Great Demon King has their own territory assigned to them by the Demon Lords."

"The number of Demon Lords is unknown. The Forest of Life is in center of the continent. It's about 80 miles away from our current location. As for Human Kingdom, all I know is that they have a number of experts who are ruled by the Emperor. They also know secret skills through which they summon heroes from another world by paying huge price."

"The Dwarf Country is the best country for the task of forging a weapon, armor or anything required as a material. The Elves are basically not involved with any of the races in the world. We live in our forest and kill any person, whether human or demon who dares to trespass the sacred place."

ARINDA's hands were clenched into fists that were shaking non-stop because she had used too much strength. When she heard Lian Lian's words, she felt bad. It was impossible for her to tell her brother the truth. As long as she exposed Lian Lian.. This also meant that Lian Lian would tell everything to Willam.
In the desert, she had seen how much willam hated her. Willam was no longer his original brother. He treated her like a pearl in his hands, coddling and pampering her.
Just now, in the heart of the desert, Willam had wanted to leave her there and not care about her.
She was certain that if the truth of the matter was known to Willam, Willam would definitely kill him.
"Lian Lian, don't frame me. I don't know what you're talking about. Someone spoke to you in my voice, so you thought it was me.
"I fainted too. GAIA and my brother saw it. I was the first one to faint. Even if you framed me, it would be useless because I've already fainted. What else can I do "I would never say that to you, and I would never let you go to the heart of the desert. " Arinda hurriedly denied it. The only thing she was glad about was that she let everyone see that she fainted first.
Since she was the first to faint, and she was the last person to be saved by GAIA and Willam. In other words, in the hearts of these two people, she had fainted the entire time. She could not do anything.
"It's useless to argue. Even if you have all the evidence, so what? As long as Willam and GAIA believe my words, all your evidence will be the same as nothing.
The important thing is not what evidence you have, but who the two of them are willing to believe.
I wish you good night and I hope you can sleep,"Lian Lian said as she walked out of the room with a light smile.
ARINDA watched Lian Lian Walk Out of his room. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably. Now, she no longer had to suppress the fear in her heart that was about to burst. All of her fear was expressed on her face.
This was the Lian Lian that she had never seen before. She only felt that this woman was too scary.
She walked around the room uncontrollably. If Lian Lian really went to Gaia and Willam to tell them about this, then Gaia and Willam would definitely believe Lian Lian and not her.
The words that she said just now were just to intimidate Lian Lian. In fact, she knew better than anyone that GAIA and Willam already suspected her.
What should she do? What should she do If Lian Lian told the truth to the two of them, she believed that both GAIA and Willam would not want her anymore.
Thinking about being abandoned by her brother and being hated by GAIA, her heart felt like it had fallen to the 18th level of Hell. She originally thought that she could have everything after getting rid of Lian Lian. She did not expect Lian Lian to survive such a catastrophe.
She stomped her feet on the ground. Why hadn't Lian Lian been torn apart by the pack of wolves?
If Lian Lian had been eaten by the pack of wolves, then all her difficulties would be gone. Whether it was Willam or Gaia, they would only believe what she said. She would not be in any danger anymore.
A sharp glint flashed across her eyes. If she wanted to think of a way, she had to think of a way. She had to get rid of Lian Lian before Lian Lian told Gaia and Willam that this was really like what she had done before.
She would definitely not let Lian Lian live a good life. But how was she going to kill Lian Lian There were so many soldiers in the military camp. If she made a move now, she would be courting death and would be seen by many people.
She had to think of a way to not be seen by others and let Lian Lian Die.
Lian Lian walked out of Arinda's room and went to GAIA's room to look after GAIA.
"How is your body? Why did you faint? I thought that if the three of you were to faint, it would be Arinda who fainted first, " Lian Lian said.
GAIA reached out to hold Lian Lian's hand. "Arinda couldn't move anymore, so I used a rope to pull him along. That's why I fainted first. Fortunately, Xin GESI's troops found us. Otherwise, I would have died in the desert.
"Lian Lian, you saved us. It was you who told Xin Gesi to find us. "
When Lian Lian heard GAIA's words, a layer of coldness appeared on her lips. GAIA was actually very concerned about Arinda.
"In your heart, you actually still have feelings for Arinda. Otherwise, you wouldn't have used a rope to pull him along. In the desert, this method is courting death. If you don't conserve your physical strength and selflessly contribute your physical strength to others, you're courting death. "
"She's innocent after all, and you know that I owe him one. I regret that I didn't care about anything and just wanted her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed him to stay by my side for so long.
This time, I will return the favor I owe him. In the future, we won't owe each other anymore.
Lian Lian, how did you walk into the heart of the desert by yourself Do you really not remember anything Do you know how scared I was when I heard that you were attacked by a pack of wolves? I was afraid that you were in danger, afraid that the pack of wolves would hurt you.
GAIA reached out his hand and smoothed Lian Lian's hair that was scattered on her forehead. His gaze was fixed on Lian Lian's small face. He was afraid that Lian Lian would disappear in front of his eyes.
"You should take good care of your body first. You have to pay special attention to keeping your identity a secret here. We still don't know if Xin Gesi will be loyal to you. "?
The empress dowager did not come, and no one knew who had the tiger talisman. If the Tiger Talisman fell into someone else's hands, then Xin Gesi would become your enemy,"Lian Lian reminded GAIA.
"I know. My current identity is Willam's servant, " GAIA said.
Just as GAIA and Lian Lian were talking, the door to their room was kicked open with a bang.
Willam walked in carelessly, as if no one was there.
"Hand, take your hand away. " Willam walked over and grabbed GAIA's hand away, not letting GAIA's hand touch Lian Lian's hand.
"Willam, are you crazy? Don't forget, Lian Lian is my wife, " GAIA said.
Whether it was in the law or in the hearts of the people, Lian Lian was his wife and the queen of his country.
"It's just your wife in name. Don't treat yourself as her real husband. Her real husband is me. He has already given birth to two children for me. What does he have to do with you? Don't touch her, " Willam B said fiercely.
"He is my wife in name. He is my wife. Everyone in my country knows that he is my queen. He has nothing to do with your country of Riel, " GAIA said.
"Alright, stop arguing. We are now in Xin Gesi's army. Let's discuss how to convince Xin Gesi to help Gaia regain the throne. "?
Tu Lu was becoming more and more arrogant in the palace. He had already captured many da Qing who were loyal to GAIA. "If we don't capture Tu Lu, more people will suffer, " Lian Lian said.
"There's no need to rush this matter. Let's talk about where you belong first, " Willam said.

"Uncle, I was punished for being late! " "Buy the school. "
"Uncle, I was bullied! " "SEND THEM TO HEAVEN! "
In this era of competing for fathers, Qin Sheng never competed for fathers. Those things were too extravagant. She didn't have them, she only competed for uncles!
Ever since she had a rich uncle, she lived a life of fighting and being cleaned up by others, causing trouble and being scapegoated by others.
Her three big goals in life were to make him fall in love with her, fall in love with her, fall in love with her!

The planet that I stayed with now called Cronos. We live not only with the human race, but there are many races in here. Beast, elf, vampire, dwarf, and there are still many races. We live together as one community. Even that, there are some areas where they live with only one race.
Medieval futuristic is what this civilization looks likes. No matter what form of government is; Democracy, Republic, or other else, but it still looks like a kingdom.
The country where I live was guarded by a high wall. But maybe not only in here. Every country and city was the same.
The Kingdom of Evimeira is what people called this country. It was being founded thousand years ago by the King of Alfaeia Evimeira. It is a neutral country. Besides this, there are three kingdoms whose still in a war, and three were still neutral.
The Kingdom of Evimeira is one of seven larger kingdoms. And for the rest were small or midsize countries, with totals of sixty-two countries—more or less.
The capital city of Efkolia is the city where I live. 
This city was divide into several districts. From district one till district fifteen, and district nine was where I live. This district is provided just for the military. It is near to the castle, where the King and all the government staff were working.
My name was "Lucferre Caelum."
I have been teel before that my name has deep meaning. Light and Hope is what they said. But till now, I did not know what they mean.
At my age sixteenth, I already become a soldier. It didn't hard to pass the test. From there, I work hard to become stronger and recognized.
Not even a single day, I miss the training. I train harder to build my physical body, mind, skill, and others. And do mission, that given by the executive's army. Most of the mission was about, secure and taking care of the safety of the village. It was quite far from the kingdom.
We fight the animals that already turn into mutants, or I can say monsters.
Don't know since when this planet become full of monster. Creepy if I said, but a bit strange. The monsters that we kill will vanish without traces. None of the body or corpse was left when they die. Even the smells of their body didn't smell.
Sometimes I was asking; why Deities would do such things. Didn't they know or maybe didn't want to know. The more I think, the more I lose hope in God.
Now the monster becomes aggressive.
In some areas, there are sightseeing a dragon, legendary animals that already categories as extinct creatures. Gladly they didn't attack the city. Even though every country has a powerful defensive system, but if fighting against the dragon, it will be hard to win or maybe impossible. 
That was one of the legendary creatures that I know; rumor said they still another else.
In seven years, I have fought many monsters, which can't be said easier. They were a group or even single, such as; a pack of wolves, tigers, bears, and others else.
Those animals that we fight, already being mutated; but some still stay original.
The moment I fight with those animals, I felt something strange. At glance, I saw like a shadow—stand behind them, or maybe something likes dark auras.
It felt scary, terrified, fearful, or something similar like that. Sometimes, it felt like my anger suddenly rose or hatred, like a negative feeling, which tried to control us.
My teacher also already warns us about this.
Whenever we face mutant animals or called monsters, our minds should be clear. Don't ever think of something bad or like negative feelings. If they still ignore this warns, something worse might happens.
Their mind can be controlled or the worse cases, they can turn like puppets or zombies. They no longer had the authority, to control themselves. 
It's terrified actually; but luckily, till now none of my comrades like that.
Maybe those happen because of dark auras. Don't know what it means, but it's only on my vision. When I asked my comrades, none of them felt the same. Instead, they said it was my imagination or I'm too tired of working.
If only it was once, maybe they were right; but I already experience this many times. The moment I fight with them, at that time also I saw that. Then when they disappear, the darks auras covered them then vanish.
In now era, we fight use weapons that we called guns. In the past, our ancestor only uses sword, dagger, or similar and suit on that era.
Even though, at this time we still use that kind of weapons. But nowadays, it was crafted in more detail and powerful than in the past. Sharper, as can cut the big stone or even the strongest steel; strong, as can hold the sharp bullets. Some of the weight, felt heavy like hold the big stone, and some lighter, like a feather. 
Time goes by and it already 7 years since I was in the military. At my age twenty-three, I'm become recognized, as a first-class squadron—an elite squadron. Major is what my ranks now. Also, I had my office room now.
While I'm in the office, a soldier comes in after knocked the doors. He said General Fysikoxylo want to meet me in person.
"…All right, I will go there now." As I ended my words, he leaves my rooms.
After checking some of the documents, I immediately go to the other side building—the place where the general office was.
In front of his room, I knocked on the door twice. Soon after that, he tells me to enter.
This wasn't the first time I enter his rooms, but today it felt weird. There's something that cannot be explained by words.

This planet not only resides by the human race but there are also many races lives here. Beast, elf, vampire, dwarf, and there are still many races.

Not only are those on this planet, but there are also animals, which have been mutating. It’s what they’d call monsters or mutants. And when the monsters being kill or dead, they will vanish without traces. None of the body or corpses was left when they die. The smell of their body didn’t smell either.

This planet was called “Cronos.”

There was a young man named “Lucferre Caelum” who tried bringing peace to this world. Where the monsters no more been seen to injure or even killing peoples. People can go on a journey without being fear and live peacefully.

Different than most peoples, Lucferre can see the dark mist that covering by the monsters. When he said that, none of the people believe him. His childhood friend even denied it.

The journey began when Lucferre needs to escort the Prime Minister to the City of Nubesturrim. Too bad what his comrades said, about the huge creature that looks like a dragon, were really appears. An easy escort was turning disastrous.

Meeting someone new, make hope were no longer the only dream.

But the journey isn’t as easy as he expected. He will face betrayal, liar, which will question his faithful, loyalty, or even trusting his own self.

All of this was the trial to make a peaceful world, where there no more Demons exist.

But did he really succeed to achieve his dream?

After a week of walking, the wolves reach the headquarters of the rebellion. Situated in neutral territory between the Land of Fura, and the neighboring country, it is divided by a long stretch of mountains. 

"Wait, I heard there are dragons that live in these mountains and guard this territory." One of the wolves says.

"That's just a myth, but it does keep the humans away from this place." Hakan replies.

They make their way through the forest with Hakan leading the group. Many of the new wolves they freed, wonder how he knows where to go without a distinct path to follow. Before long, they reach a large chasm that runs straight through the mountain. Walls on both sides that stretch upward as far as the eye can see.

Fissures in the walls are everywhere, each one narrower than the chasm they are walking through. They all seem to go a lot deeper into the mountain, making it seem like it would be a maze if you wandered in too far. 

"How does something like this form?" Fenrir asks.

"From what I've heard from the dwarves that live here, something as big as splitting an entire mountain in half doesn't occur naturally."  Hakan says as he points at the walls. "If you look closely, you can see that the rock is smooth and almost looks like glass. No one knows for sure, but it seems like it was cut using magic."

"Something this big was made by humans?" One of the wolves says. 

"Maybe, maybe not. Recently, more evidence indicates that magic beasts roamed uninhabited places like this far longer than we thought. Probably brought here accidentally by the ones who made the magical artifacts long ago." 

"It's hard to imagine something was strong enough to cut a fucking mountain in half." 

"I'm not an expert on rock formations. I'm just relaying information that I've been told." 

Hakan leads them into one of the fissures, and they eventually come across a large structure chiseled into the face of the wall. Two dwarf guards are standing by the entrance, their short stature makes them look less dangerous than they actually are. As they approach, one of the guards clears their throat and speaks. "I see that you brought more refugees Hakan, I take it that you informed them of their duties for staying here." 

"Actually, I didn't tell them yet." Hakan replies. 

"How many times do we have to tell you? You can't just do whatever you want here, there are rules. So before I let any of them in, we have to go over the rules." The dwarf stares at the newcomers while stroking his long beard. "First of all, there is no fighting allowed inside. This is a safe haven for all magical beasts as well as humans who want to trade with us. Second, if you plan to stay here for long periods of time, then you need to contribute to earn your keep. And third, this is more of a warning than a rule, don't drink too much dwarven ale, it's much stronger than the alcohol beverages humans make."

"A safe haven, you told us that this was your headquarters." One of the wolves says. 

"Well, our headquarters is inside. No humans will bother us here, the dwarves will make sure of that." Hakan says. "With that being said. Since we are staying here, we have to help them keep order within. That also includes helping fight battles. They help us, so we help them." 

"Won't the humans try to retaliate if they find out that we are bringing freed wolves here?" Fenrir asks. 

"Unlikely." The dwarf answers."This is neutral territory, and it's home to the largest trading center next to the capital. The humans buy many rare metals here that they can't mine themselves.   If they attack us, their supply would be cut short. But if they did attack, we have an army to defend this place. Why do you think we are taking all of you in?"

The other guard that has been quiet to this point now has fallen asleep and is snoring. He is only being held up by his sword that is now digging into the ground. "Hey wake up, I told you not to fall asleep." 

He wakes up in a confused state. "Oh, what? I guess I must have dozed off again. I haven't had my morning ale to keep me going through the day."

Fenrir is trying to figure out how drinking would keep a dwarf awake. But before he can come up with an answer, they are lead inside the stronghold. Once inside, the group is met with an array of dwarves all hammering metal into the forms they desire. The long hallway is in the shape of a perfectly symmetrical trapezoid, this design provides some stability to the hollowed-out section. On the ceiling, orbs of light are used to illuminate the cave using a form of magic. 

"This is one of the many back doors into the stronghold, once we get to headquarters, I'll show you the entrance we normally use." Hakan says.

As they continue further into the cave, they come across a large cavern. However, unlike the rest of the cave they have seen, this part is lined with smooth cut stone. Corridors surround the cavern, leading in different directions. The cavern looks like a lounge for wolves to hang out and relax, and that's exactly what many wolves who are already here are doing. 

"This is the lounge area, down these many halls are the sleeping quarters." Nia says as she steps in front of the group to address them. "Before we go any further I will need to write down all of your names." 

Nia goes up to each wolf asking for their name and writing it down on a piece of paper. All except for Fenrir who she already met. "Alright follow me." Says Nia. 

She leads the group down one of the many hallways, Hakan follows behind the group. She stops at a door, opens it and motions to the rest to enter. The room is filled with chairs surrounding a large round table. Skoll sits next to  Lokota on the other side of the room. 

Fenrir starts to get nervous, his heart starts racing at the chance that Skoll will recognize him after all these years. Lokota stands up and addresses the new wolves. 

"First of all I want to welcome all of our new recruits. Of course, it is your choice if you wish to join us or not. We are looking for strong soldiers to join our cause by helping to free our species. That being said, I want to see how strong each and every one of you are. So starting tomorrow morning, we are going to have a sparring match. That is all, dismissed." 

As the wolves leave to the room, Nia apologizes for Lokota's militaristic speech. "I'm sorry, he's just used to addressing new recruits like that back in his army days. He is usually more friendly when he gets to know you." 

The door opens, Lokota walks over whispers into Nia's ear and walks back into the room. "Fenrir, it seems like they want to talk to you" Nia says. 

Fenrir's heart starts beating faster. 'Shit, I should have known it was a long shot to expect Skoll not to recognize me. Well, it's time to get this over with.' 

Fenrir follows Nia into the room, Lokota and Skoll are both standing on the other side of the room. Skoll is the first to speak. "Tell me Fenrir, what happened to Luna?"

In a world filled with magic, the human race has yet to encounter any magical beasts until now. With the creation of the first werewolves, how will this world change, for the better or worse only time will tell. One thing is certain though, the events that are about to transpire will change the course of history forever.

Any future chapters of the story will be published on GoodNovel.

On the highest point of Wild Wolf Castle, besides the blue flag, there was another flag; there was a red flag raised up, which meant that important news or a notice had been released. Even from several kilometers away from Wild Wolf Castle, everyone could see that red flag.
 
On the evening when Zhang Tie had sent back Pandora and a group of girls who had wanted to form a team with the Hit-Plane Brotherhood to Wild Wolf Castle, Zhang Tie had already known of the contents of that notice.
 
Compared to the amazed expressions of the other members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood, Zhang Tie had already mentally prepared himself for the arrival of this piece of news. While everyone in Wild Wolf Valley was noisily discussing the situation in Blackhot City, not a single one of them knew that Zhang Tie was the one who had accidentally triggered the entire incident in Blackhot City. This event was the hottest topic both in Wild Wolf Valley and Blackhot City. As for the identity of the one that had sent out the letter which started the entire incident in Blackhot City, nobody was able to give an answer; however, the government of Blackhot City did exert all their efforts in an attempt to find this person, but in the end, it was still not enough to reverse the flow of time back to the day when the mysterious person had sent that letter through the mailbox by the post office located in the city square of Blackhot City. It had already turned into a secret that would never be revealed. It was only when this event had broken out in Blackhot City that everyone knew that the Red-scarf Burglars, who were well-prepared and were conspiring with the Niumuen Business Group to take over Blackhot City both internally and externally, had been lurking in a hidden location that was less than 150 km away from Blackhot City. When the Niumuen Business Group was swept out by the army of Blackhot City and had schemes exposed, the Red-scarf Burglars retreated from their hiding spot like a pack of wolves, and when they had reappeared, they caused a disaster in Lance City and involved the Sun Dynasty in this chaos, leading them to confronting the Andaman Alliance.
 
“Mysterious Warner”—that was the nickname that Zhang Tie had received when the incident broke out in Blackhot City. Some said that the “Mysterious Warner’, the person who had started the incident in Blackhot City, was a bandit that was part of the Red-scarf Burglars, some said that this “Mysterious Warner” was a top fighter who lived in seclusion in Blackhot City, while there were also some who said that this “Mysterious Warner” was a political enemy of Marshal Lin Changjiang, the governor of the northern border of the Norman Empire… There were all kinds of speculations about the “Mysterious Warner”; however, no one had guessed that the “Mysterious Warner” was actually just an ordinary youth from an ordinary national male middle school situated in Blackhot City that was currently attending a survival training in Wild Wolf Valley. Not to mention, the same youth had even almost destroyed an influential figure’s intention to obtain recovery medication in Blackhot City.
 
Sometimes, there were rumors that were grounded with strong logic, and there were also various possibilities that seemed true; however, truth was something that was always extremely dramatic, as the people’s daily lives and the earthly world doesn’t give one the opportunity to be rational and logical. This was just like a famous story on the well-known Butterfly Effect[1]. There was once a blacksmith who had dropped a nail on the ground, which later injured a horse’s hoof. Because the horse was wounded, the knight who rode it lost a battle, which directly influenced the war between two nations, finally leading to the destruction of a country. 
 
Zhang Tie had learned this theory in science class at school. It was only when he had heard of the incident in Blackhot City did Zhang Tie realize that what he had rightly done was drop the nail that wounded the horse’s hoof. After walking into Huck, who had already been killed by Zhang Tie, near the railway station, he had changed so many things.
 
The “nail” had truly changed some of the details and slowed the development of the situation; however, the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty were already rolling without stop towards the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City, much like huge wheels with unstoppable momentum. Just the start of the huge, rolling wheels had already created great waves in Wild Wolf Valley. 
 
Many of the people here had to serve in the army after graduation, which meant that they would have to directly face these two huge forces, the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty, and perhaps they may even fight the army of these two countries on the battlefield, thus all the students attending the survival training in Wild Wolf Valley felt as if a huge burden had been placed on their fates. Facing the incoming and uncertain future, many people felt confused and frightened. 
 
Tonight, with the exception of Zhang Tie, everyone else in the Hit-Plane Brotherhood was trying their best to cultivate the basic skills of Iron-Blood Fist. They continued to do so until they were all extremely fatigued and were gasping as they laid on the grass. 
 
In truth, Zhang Tie could actually stick to it for a while longer; however, when he saw Bagdad, with eyes fixed on him, practicing the Lying-Tiger Stake as the blue veins on his forehead especially stood out, Zhang Tie could only pretend to be exhausted before throwing himself onto the ground. Ten seconds after Zhang Tie had “given up”, Bagdad, who was no longer able to hold on, also heaved a deep sigh and ended his practice. For Bagdad, if he couldn’t remain the strongest fighter in the Hit-Plane Brotherhood, then it would be a great strike to his pride.
 
Two moons hung in the sky—one was a silver crescent, while the other was a pale blue full moon; one was big, while the other was small. The moonlight cascaded down and enveloped Wild Wolf Valley with a layer of a beautiful, pale blue, and white brilliance. Accompanied by the two moons, the stars in the sky looked particularly splendent, the cicadas on the Dragon-Claw Trees were chirping, the crickets in the grass were tweeting, while the howls of the looming wolves drifted over; the entire Wild Wolf Valley was extremely tranquil.
 
The members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood simply laid there and silently looked at the sky for more than ten minutes.
 
“If I was killed on the battlefield, someone who is still alive among you must remember to hand over my pension to my family since that amount of money could allow my two younger brothers to live a bit better!” Sharwin silently opened his mouth. Sharwin was good in all aspects, except he was too pessimistic sometimes.
 
“You’d better stay alive. If you die, we would only use your pension to sleep with women and let your bastard dad and two younger brothers go to hell!” Hista cursed.
 
“Bastard!” Sharwin cursed in a low voice before he laughed out loudly.
 
“I heard the Iron-Horn Army Group under the flagship of Lin Changjiang, the governor of the Northern Border Army Group of Norman Empire, and the Brilliant Feathers of the Sun Dynasty are both composed of war maniacs and madmen. Do you think we might encounter them?” Doug said dejectedly.
 
“Don’t be that pessimistic. We should not be that unlucky to have to fight against the armies of the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty. As for the entire Andaman Alliance, those two countries are two super powers, each of whom is much more powerful than the Andaman Alliance. Because of this great gap in force, if there truly is a battle with any one of the two countries, the Andaman Alliance would definitely lose. Since the wealthy big figures are definitely more afraid of death than us, I think that a war would not break out. For the Andaman Alliance, this is a war that they are doomed to lose, and they would never bet on this war at the risk of their own lives. Two kids with the same strength might fight over a piece of candy, but a tough man would never fight a kid, let alone two tough men fighting a kid at the same time...” Lying on the ground, Leit said so.
 
“Hmm, I feel that Leit’s words are reasonable. We don’t need to feel that stressed!” Barley added.
 
“Even if a war doesn’t break out, the Andaman Alliance would still not have a bright future. In the history of Blackson Human Clan Corridor, it has always consisted of at most 70 city-states; however, this number has been gradually decreasing. In the end, every city-state would see one of two outcomes. The first would be the emergence of a talented or mighty figure who would unite them all into a country. The other would be that the city-states would break apart and be annexed by the surrounding powers. For the Andaman Alliance, it doesn’t have a talented or mighty figure, and under their eyes, the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty would never allow it to become a united country, thus the final outcome for the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City might be being annexed by either the Norman Empire or the Sun Dynasty. Once annexed, this region would face high coercion for at least the next few dozen years. If this matter cannot be settled through peaceful manners, then even if we don’t die on the battlefields, we would not be able to live well in the future...” Sharwin continued to speak in a pessimistic way.
 
Hearing Sharwin’s words, everyone became silent once again. No one rebutted, as they all knew that Sharwin was telling the heaviest and undeniable truth.
 
“So you’re saying that even if we’re not cannon fodder on the battlefield, we would be slaves after our country dies. Hmm, although the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City cannot be considered a country, it's almost the same!” Hista said dejectedly.
 
“For this event, I feel… it will be settled through peaceful means!” Barley said in an unconfident and low voice.
 
“But, I have always felt that something is off. The Andaman Alliance, the Sun Dynasty, and the Norman Empire have maintained peace for over half a century, so why are they giving us trouble now at the same time?” Doug suddenly hit the key point like an idiot.
 
Not knowing the reason, when he heard Doug’s words, Zhang Tie suddenly thought back to the squirrels that were busily storing pine nuts in the trees to survive through the winter. 
 
“No matter what reason it is, if it is related to us, we will know about it sooner or later. That’s why, we don’t need to rack our brains on that matter...” Bagdad gloomily said. “The most important thing for us right now is to improve our own strength. As you know, in this age, people without strength will not have freedom. Only when we have strength could we control our own fate. If we are well-practiced in the Iron-Blood Fist Skill, then why would we need to be concerned about these boring questions?”
 
“Bighead, why are you silent? Aren’t you worried...” Lying on the ground, Barley turned his head and asked Zhang Tie.
 
“I think you are all right. But to tell you the truth, I don’t really care about the future of Blackhot City and the Andaman Alliance too much. Perhaps it is because I am Chinese, a minority in Blackhot City of the Andaman Alliance. I am not able to assume any more responsibilities for the fate of the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City. My family has already sacrificed one life for the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City. No matter what, I do not want my family to sacrifice another life for them, and neither would I make such a sacrifice. I only have a few desires in my life. As long as my loved ones can live well, as long as I have enough money and beloved women, then I will be satisfied...” Looking at the beautiful stars in the sky, Zhang Tie forced a smile. What happened in Blackhot City and the Andaman Alliance really shocked him a lot. Although he had changed the speed of the development to some degree, he realized he couldn’t change the final outcome. At the very least, the fate of his loved ones have not changed at all. This was the cause of the feelings of frustrations and powerlessness that small figures would feel. 
 
Bagdad’s words were true. Instead of hoping for the world to develop like your imagination, it was better to make yourself stronger, as this was true strength. In contrast, everything else was bullsh*t. For Zhang Tie himself, if he wanted to become powerful, he would have to depend on the Castle of Black Iron and the small tree within.
 
Although Zhang Tie had never thought that he was selfish, sometimes, the Castle of Black Iron and the small tree brought Zhang Tie a sense of selfishness. If this age could be seen as a large wheel that was rolling forward, then Zhang Tie felt that, with the exception of himself, who was someone who could jump out of its path and stay in his own world, everyone else could only be chased by the large wheel that surged forth as they oozed sweat all over. The world where Zhang Tie stayed in was also a wheel that only belonged to Zhang Tie. Although it was very small, Zhang Tie could happily push it forward in a speed faster than the others. Soon after, the others would be far behind him and his world. Zhang Tie felt that he was truly a bit heartless; although everyone else was concerned about the future of Blackhot City and the Andaman ALliance, he was just thinking about how many mining baskets filled with ores he should move into the Castle of Black Iron in order to quickly increase the amount of basic energy storage inside. While everyone was worried about turning into slaves in the occupied areas in the future, Zhang Tie was thinking about his circumcision after the completion of the survival training. “ Damn it! It truly does not feel good to be a virgin among a group of horny students.” Honestly, Zhang Tie really didn’t think that the fate of the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot city was more important than his circumcision surgery. “Am I selfish? If this is being selfish, then I prefer to be selfish. Who f*cking decided that the future of the Andaman Alliance and Blackhot City is more important than my future? Who the f*ck decided that the ‘sexual pleasures’ of the privileged figures are more important than my ‘sexual pleasures’? Who the f*ck decided that a small figure like me has to share difficulties with the big figures, but not the pleasures? F*ck, I will do what I can do and I will enjoy myself. So what!?”
 
In the current situation, it was as if many naked people were struggling to rush forward in the snowfield in order to escape the snowstorm that was chasing them. In contrast, Zhang Tie was sitting inside the train and was eating hot pot, leaving the group of people behind along with the “crack crack” sounds made by the moving train. This was another lifestyle that had been brought by the Castle of Black Iron and that small tree. If he didn’t have the small tree and the Castle of Black Iron, then Zhang Tie would have been just like them; he would have been a member of the people rushing forward in the snowfield as they tried to escape from the snowstorm that was chasing them. Fortunately, he had that small tree and the Castle of Black Iron, allowing him to sit in the train to enjoy hot pot. If he could enjoy such a good treatment, then why not enjoy it? Anyone with a normal mind would make this choice!
……
 
It was Zhang Tie’s turn to be on duty for the first half of the evening tonight. Crouching in a pit on the tree, Zhang Tie watched and listened to the surroundings while visualizing an abacus in his mind as he practiced mental arithmetic using the abacus. He practiced various operations. He did addition and subtraction with numbers between 1 to 1000. He did multiplication with any two digit numbers, any two digit numbers with three digit numbers, and any two digit numbers with four digit numbers; he had even done the reverse with division. Over the past few days, Zhang Tie hadn’t give up on practicing mental arithmetics using the abacus, and as a result, he has made steady improvements to his calculation skills. Now, with just a glimpse, he would easily get the answer of any addition or subtraction problem within three digits, and any multiplication or division problem between two digit numbers. Additionally, as a benefit of his boring yet self-gratifying training, his spiritual energy had also gradually increased. Compared to his spiritual energy when he had started the survival training, Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy had already increased by about 2%. 
 
It was only when Barley had replaced him for the second half of the night did Zhang Tie climb back into his own hole to sleep. At the sight of Zhang Tie, Barley was also curious. While the others always looked extremely tired the morning after their duty, how come this guy becomes even more high-spirited when he finishes his duty? Could it be that he had adapted to the nightlife?
 
After he finished practicing mental arithmetic using the abacus, Zhang Tie lied down, but he did not fall asleep; instead, he silently injected his spiritual energy into the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit, leading to him entering another virtual world...
……
 
It was the same dusk, the same valley, the same path, the same grass where the wolves had drilled out and charged towards him. Zhang Tie waved his dagger towards them...
 
Several minutes later, the three wolves turned into corpses once again. Looking at that wound on his hand that was left by the sharp fang of one of the wolves, Zhang Tie shook his head…
 
Boom...
 
Everything turned into specks of lights.
……
 
One minute later, after Zhang Tie injected his spiritual energy into that Trouble-Reappearance Fruit to activate the same scene once again, Zhang Tie entered it for the second time tonight.
 
It was the same dusk, the same valley, the same path, and the same grass...
 
This time, Zhang Tie changed his “trick”. Before the wolves had drilled out of the grass, Zhang Tie had already rushed into the grass to fight the three wolves with his dagger. However, after this trial, Zhang Tie realized that grass was more restrictive to humans than it was to wolves. In fact, the latter even had more advantages in the grass. The result of this fight was that Zhang Tie once again became afraid of death and pain...
……
 
Zhang Tie then exited the scene and rushed inside one minute later...
 
Zhang Tie repeated this process until his spiritual energy was exhausted. When he could no longer activate the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit, he fell asleep.
……
 
The other members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood would never know that this guy sleeping beside them had already experienced eight life-or-death fights with three wolves in a hidden place which only existed in Zhang Tie’s mind within half an hour since he finished his duty. Through fighting many times, Zhang Tie had suffered less wounds than before, and the three wolves had died faster than before...
 
Before he fell asleep, one last thought appeared in his mind—maybe I should jump into that deep hole left by the Gold-Eating Boas again tomorrow and see what kind of feeling it will give...
