Chapter 136: How To Plan An Infiltration

As Andromeda and Pyra stepped up, Floid spoke.

"You will go to the west and track down the hero's movement. Take as much time as you need, but make sure that the hero does not know you are following after her. She will likely have an army with her so use your discretion to handle the army covertly. But do not touch the hero no matter what..."

Floid's red eyes pierced into them once he said the last part. His voice was heavy and oppressive and they immediately knew this was the most important part of the mission.

"That hero is mine to do with as I wish and I will not forgive anyone that gets involved. Do you understand?"

The both of them immediately nodded and Floid leaned back and excused them. They left to go and prepare and Floid told Rizi to get him some tea as he spoke to Alucard and Dragonnel. Once the maids were gone, Dragonnel spoke up curiously.

"My lord, what exactly are you planning to do to that hero?"

Alucard warned Dragonnel in annoyance.

"And how is that any of your business, Dragon?"

Dragonnel scoffed at Alucard before jutting out his elbow. Dragonnel was close enough to Alucard, so when he shot out his elbow, it stabbed into Alucard's ribs. Alucard's eye twitched but he refused to retaliate and act like a child in front of Floid. Alucard took in a deep breath and held himself back.

Dragonnel noticed the frustration on Alucard's face and he grinned wider! Floid just watched all of this with an amused expression and he wondered what the hell they were doing. It was amusing to watch, but Dragonnel should know better. Floid wouldn't be surprised if Alucard kills Dragonnel one of these days. Dragonnel can be really annoying when he gets into a mood.

"That's enough, Dragonnel, you shouldn't antagonize Alucard. Alucard, if he does that again, hit him,"

Dragonnel sweat dropped while Alucard nodded seriously to Floid's orders. Floid then got back to the matter at hand. Floid already knew what he needed to do with Quinn. And when he told both of them what his plans were, they were shocked!

"I need her Mana core to locate Givalich. It is the only way to find Givalich since we have already tried everything else."

Once Floid said this there was silence for a while. Alucard was the first to speak up.

"My lord... If you take her Mana core then she will not survive it. It is not possible to retrieve a Mana core while the owner is alive,"

Floid already knew this so Alucard didn't need to tell him. Floid knew that once he takes his sister's Mana core she would die, but so what? Floid didn't care enough about her to be worried about something so trivial.

"I know that already. What exactly is the problem?"

"When we get Givalich, what are you going to use it for? I heard from some of the nuns around the church that you made a promise to the king. Are you going to give them the dragon?"

Elias didn't even bother to turn around. He answered while walking out.

"Don't be a fool, Dray. Get ready to leave, you have five minutes,"

Dray narrowed his eyes in annoyance. This is how things always were with Elias, he would never give Dray an answer no matter what Dray asks. I don't even remember the last time he spoke to me about anything.

Dray was still curious about what Elias would use Givalich for, but Dray was sure that there is no way Elias would give Givalich to the church. It didn't seem sensible to give Givalich to them. Elias was the king of Dragon Slayers - or at least that is what he tells me - so why would he give one of the last dragons to the church? There has to be another reason for this. What is Elias planning?

.......

After walking out of the room, Elias started to make his way toward the other side of the church. There were a lot of nuns and priests moving through the hallways and making their way toward the main citadel. It was almost time for the mass of the day and they were going to pray. The crowd was mainly made up of pawns and bishops since they are the ones who were responsible for leading the mass.

As Elias got to the other side of the church, he walked toward a large tower and made his way up to the top floor. There was a door at the end of a short hallway and a bulky man was standing in front of it. The man was wearing a priest robe and he had a pawn piece sewed into his sash. Elias and the pawn locked eyes and Elias narrowed his eyes dangerously. Elias was basically telling the pawn to get the fuck out of the way, but the pawn was not allowed to move out of the way without permission from his superior. Elias' glare intensified and he was very close to harming the pawn. The pawn shuffled a little and he considered his options. Should I move and risk punishment from my superior, or should I stay here and risk intense harm?

But before Elias could do anything, a voice came from inside and told the man to open the door.

Elias walked through once the man opened the door and he stopped at the edge of the dark room. There was only a dim red light in the room that made things barely visible. Elias looked towards the altar on the other side of the room. A woman was kneeling in front of it and praying towards a cross. Elias moved towards her.

"Eli, didn't I tell you not to intimidate my subordinates anymore? You should know you're scary enough without that glare. That man almost had a heart attack."

Elias came to a stop right beside her and looked down at her in annoyance.

"And didn't I tell you not to call me that?"

The woman smiled a little.

"Sorry, sorry. Old habits die hard,"

The woman took her time as she slowly made the sign of the cross before she finally stood up and faced Elias. Elias looked into her eyes and his eye twitched a little once he saw her milky-white eyeballs staring into his own.

The woman was named Ria and she was one of the Rooks in the church. She was a beautiful woman with long brown hair and large eyes framed with thick lashes. But her eyes saw nothing. And her ears heard nothing.

She was blind and deaf.
