Chapter 798 The Vylkr Veil
?"You don't need to worry, Chief. This experiment is only known to the four of us who worked on it, and we've all promised to keep it a secret until it is ready to be released to the public," Seraphina responded, nodding in understanding.
The Village Chief nodded in acknowledgement. "I'll be taking my leave then. I'll see you both later," he responded before he turned around and exited the room.
Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded before turning around and exiting the room, following suit.
After they left, only Orion and Seraphina were left inside the workspace.
Immediately, Seraphina lept from her position and flew into Orion. Fortunately, Orion had already opened his arms to welcome her. She wrapped all four limbs around his figure.
Orion reciprocated her gestures, embracing her warmly.
"It's good that you're back because I was beginning to get worried," Seraphina said.
"I told you that nothing is going to happen to me," Orion responded, a smile gracing his lips.
"Well, you can't blame me, can you? You were going to meet with Aegis of the Arctic Deity and had stayed there for three days, so there's no way I wouldn't be worried," Seraphina retorted.
Orion smiled and didn't respond. He hugged her silently, relishing the moment until she finally descended to the ground and released him.
"So, what do you think about my presentation? I hope you're not disappointed," Seraphina asked, gently holding Orion's chin.
Orion nodded, "You absolutely impressed me. There's no way I can be disappointed after witnessing such a presentation," he responded, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Whenever I think you wouldn't be able to perform past a certain limit, you shatter it and go even further. Without a doubt, you and the other healers will become pioneers for starting something so great," he added, his hands stretching downwards to grab her plump buttocks.
"That's wonderful, too," Seraphina responded, smiling naughtily as she leaned in and sealed Orion's lips. They kissed, their lips melding passionately until they pulled apart.
Orion's hands had already pulled Seraphina's long, slit violet dress up and snuck into her panties, trying to get a hold of her pussy lips from behind.
"Mmmhhhmm~~~" Seraphina moaned seductively, her lips pressed close to Orion's ears.
Just as Orion was about to pull down her matching violet panties, Seraphina immediately stopped him, saying, "Husband, not here. I want to feel you deep inside me, and I don't want to stop midway. Let's return to the manor before we continue." Her glazed eyes were fixed on Orion as she leaned in and kissed him briefly before pulling back and walking away to properly arrange her dress.
"Also, I still have to arrange the materials we worked with and clean up before I leave, so you can go ahead without me. I'll meet you at home," Seraphina responded.
Orion knew that Seraphina didn't allow anybody into her workshop, including cleaning it when it was dirty. According to her, the best way to maintain a perfect workshop was to personally take care of it oneself, including cleaning after use and arranging all the equipment in order.
This way, she wouldn't have to worry about anything getting spoiled or missing.
Nevertheless, Orion understood everyone has their own habits, so he nodded. "Okay. There's something else I have to deal with before heading back home, so you can take your time," he responded.
He approached her from behind and grabbed her voluptuous breast, giving a light squeeze and prompting her to turn her head to the side.
After stealing a kiss, Orion released his grip and exited the room, leaving Seraphina gazing at him with a warm smile.
…........
As Orion walked down the corridor, a figure abruptly rushed past him before coming to a halt in front of him.
"What is it?" Orion frowned as he looked at the woman who had blocked his path.
"Mr Orion, the Village Chief, urgently needs your presence downstairs," the woman said, taking deep breaths to calm herself down.
Orion furrowed his brows in confusion. He thought the Village Chief and Stronghold Leader Zogar had already left, but it seemed they were still downstairs and had even sent someone to call him.
Orion nodded, "Let's go then," he responded.
The woman immediately nodded and led Orion downstairs toward the direction of the Village Chief and Stronghold Leader Zogar.
The woman nodded and led the way downstairs.
Once they arrived, Orion immediately noticed Patriarch Rylan and his daughter, Isadora, standing close to the Village Chief and Stronghold Leader Zogar with solemn expressions.
"It's good that you're finally here. Patriarch Rylan searched for us and came to tell us about something very important related to the burning of the Vylkr vines," the Village Chief said.
Listening to the Village Chief's words, Orion exhaled and nodded in understanding. "If it's about the phenomenon that would follow soon after, then you don't have to worry about it. Though we might not know what it is, we have nothing to worry about with Aegis of the Arctic Deity's protection," Orion responded, shaking his head in assurance.
'Aegis of the Arctic Deity protection,' Patriarch Rylan pondered, furrowing his brows in confusion. A realization struck him as he recalled how the Vylkr vines couldn't approach the Orion's cities, and none of the Vylkr-infested fumes and ash had infiltrated past the city walls.
Patriarch Rylan swiftly concluded that whoever Aegis of the Arctic was, they were responsible for safeguarding the Orion's cities, enabling their construction on such a grand scale without fear of Vylkr vines attack.
The Village Chief shook his head. "No, that's not the reason. Patriarch Rylan has come today to inform us that he knows exactly what the phenomenon is," he responded.
Orion's expression immediately shifted to astonishment, and he turned his gaze toward Patriarch Rylan. Seeing Patriarch Rylan nod in confirmation, Orion was left utterly dumbfounded.
"We rushed to find you the instant we spotted the smoke billowing outside," Patriarch Rylan said, his tone grave.
Orion nodded. "Let's find a more private spot to discuss this," he replied.
The matter was too sensitive to be discussed in such a public space.
