Chapter 639 Request
The war was still going on, but Vale's mission had already been accomplished.
He didn't have to help the rebel forces anymore, and he only had to wait for the Marquis to give him his extra rewards.
However, he still wanted to watch how the war would unfold.
First, he was interested in seeing the full power of the sorcerers of the Church of the Divine Sorcerer. Then, he was also curious about the druids or Artificial Human Project of the Ruri Kingdom.
He had already fought against these Druids, but he hadn't witnessed their full potential.
Anyway, he learned from the Marquis and the Sun Sorcerer that they wanted this project to be completely halted because it was likely inhumane or there were problems with moral standards.
This made him more intrigued about the Artificial Humans.
Lastly, he also wanted to extract everything he could!
After the war, there would surely be tons of corpses to be burned to prevent them from being possessed by Evil Spirits.
He wasn't sure of the number of corpses before, but as he saw the scale of the war, he knew that there would be thousands of them waiting to be extracted! He could only hope that his system wouldn't get tired of it.
It would be a waste if he didn't extract those corpses with his system! He couldn't miss this chance since it wouldn't be every day where he would encounter such an opportunity.
With this in mind, he decided to inform the Marquis of his plan.
He used his Presence Shift and appeared in front of the Marquis and Viscount within their concealed airship!
Whom~
As Vale appeared, the two were shocked, and their guards reacted instantly.
But as Vale removed his disguise, the Marquis recognized him right away. He didn't care how Vale managed to pass through their defenses as he greeted him with excitement.
"So it is Sir Vale! Your summoned Dragon was amazing! Please have a seat!" The Marquis said enthusiastically as he gestured to the chair where the Sun Sorcerer was previously seated.
"Yes... Unfortunately, the Dragon has to rest after the explosion." Vale said as he took his seat.
"What? It did not die?" Viscount Truman asked in astonishment, he thought that the Dragon disappeared along with the barrier. After all, they saw it vanish after the explosion of light.
The Marquis and the other guards who were listening also felt surprised at his words.
Vale grinned at this and nodded his head.
"Of course not. It's still a mythical creature, and it can come back once it's recovered. Are you unhappy?" Vale asked with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Ahem... I am certainly not, Sir Vale. I'm just thrilled to hear such a good news." Viscount Truman quickly corrected himself.
Vale then joined the two in watching the war progress. Although it had been a while since the war commenced, they were still expecting this to continue for two or three hours more.
As they silently observed the battlefield, Vale saw the rebels and the royal forces fighting fiercely, and he saw the casualties on both sides.
He didn't feel much to these deaths as his mental state had already adjusted, and his study of Dark Arts had probably affected his mind already.
Anyway, Vale shifted his focus and saw the sorcerers of the Church of the Divine Sorcerer unleashing their unusual spells, against the druids or Artificial Humans of the Ruri Kingdom who were using plant-related abilities.
'I guess they can only create Artificial Humans with plant-
related abilities.' Vale mused as he realized one problem or limitation with the Artificial Humans. It seemed that they weren't perfect yet.
Of course, he was still impressed by their power as he could tell that most of them had 30 to 35 Spirit Strands. If these Druids attack the Vermont Academy, their Vessels and Professors would surely have trouble fighting them.
After all, these Druids seemed to be immune to Dark Curses.
Unfortunately for these Druids, their rivals were the Sorceres, who had strange spells that dried out the power of their plants and trees. The Sorcerers might not be capable of doing this in the blink of an eye, but as the war continues, the Sorcerers will likely prevail.
After some time, Vale finally mentioned his real purpose for coming here.
He made a request to the Marquis and the Viscount.
"I have a favor to ask you, gentlemen. After the war is over, I would like to take care of the corpses…"
As he said this, the two noblemen immediately looked at him with doubt.
It seemed that they didn't like the idea of handing the corpses of their soldiers to others. Well, they had probably promised their families to bring them back, whether they were dead or alive.
Nevertheless, Vale continued without waiting for their response.
"I am not going to disrespect them or use them for various purposes. I'm simply going to observe their bodies to find something and also have my Dark Spirit check them in case there are problems with the corpses, like curses and such… What do you say?" Vale said in a serious tone.
After some hesitation, the two nobles finally agreed.
They also wanted to please this mysterious Arcanist who could summon a Dragon. It was better to get on his good side.
"I have no problem with that... I will let you take care of them." Marquis Morgan said.
"As long as they were treated with respect... I can allow you to examine these corpses. Ahem, you are not a necromancer, are you?" Viscount Truman asked.
Vale smiled wryly at this and chuckled.
"I am not a Necromancer, Viscount. Don't worry, I won't be using them for any dark ritual." Vale replied with reassuring smile.
"Alright then..." Viscount Truman said as he turned his attention to the projected images that were shown to them.
As he saw the Crown Prince fall with his loyal knights, Viscount Truman and Marquis Morgan knew that this war was almost over.
