Rebirth Of Abium 96 Chapter 96: Mourn

'That Baron is provoking me. He must be planning to make problems for us. Is count Tibal behind this?… Hmm, possible.' As he started to ponder what was Baron Harry's motive, he soon noticed an unfamiliar face inside the room and frowned.

He was a fair-skinned muscular warrior with 6 feet tall height and wore brown leather armor. He had monolid brown eyes, short bluish-black color hair, and round face.

"He is Baron Harry's soldier. He is the one who brought the news." Viper said with a cold tone while leaning against the chair as he noticed Abium's frown.

"What is your name?" Abium nodded at Viper's words and asked at that warrior.

"Page." That warrior replied in a raucous tone with a hint of arrogance.

'Quite an arrogant tongue. Tsk, If I let this guy talk any more words, I can tell he will definitely die by Helena's poisonous vines.' He glanced at Helena, who was picking up the gla.s.s of water with a cold expression and continued to ask.

"How much is the ransom?"

"2000 white gold coins." Without even a slight hint of nervousness, Page said motionlessly.

"Pffff-," Helena spilled out all the water on the wooden table and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Why not just go and rob the merchant' guild locker b.a.s.t.a.r.d?!" Helena instantly unsheathed the weapon and got ready to attack at any minute. Meanwhile, all of them were dumbfounded. Even Abium got stunned by the Baron's absurd demand. As they were started arguing one by one, suddenly, Viper noticed a change in Abium's facial expression and startled.

'Heh, it seems even this young baron himself got a headache.' As he was about to ask if everything was okay, Viper saw Abium calming down.

"Okay. I agree to your request." Abium's deep voice echoed inside.

At the same time, everyone saw Abium nodded with a serious face, which made them stunned. As he noticed their gazes, he said with a helpless expression.

"First, we need to bring them safely." Soon he shifted his gaze towards Page and replied while taking out two crystalline bank cards from his spatial ring. "These two cards hold 2000 gold coins. If Baron needs cash in hand, I can arrange it for you."

This time, Page got stunned. He remembered lord Baron Harry's grandfather Randolph told him that this Baron of Alastall would have no money to buy back those people. Page thought Elder Randolph must be planning to use that reason and make Baron Abium a joker in the upcoming Grand n.o.bles' gathering.

'What should I do now?… Ha! I will just take the money and give it back to Lord Randolph, then let Baron's family members decide.' He nodded rapidly and quickly walked near to Abium then promptly took it.

"Lord Harry will release them once I give the money back to my lord." Page said while walking out of the reception house.

"Stop! I don't trust you on this matter. Wait for here 30 minutes; I will go and get ready." Abium said with a cold tone and soon shifted his gaze towards Claude then asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, can you get Sir Edward's dress or some important thing?"

Claude became startled by Abium's request and soon walked out of the reception hall and returned with a ring and a linen shirt.

"Why do you need these for?" Claude asked with a serious expression on his face. Abium didn't reply and simply shrugged his shoulder then moved out of the reception hall. Soon, he walked towards his bedroom and arrived in front of his room's wooden door.

Quickly he opened the door and locked it from the inside then sat on his bed.

'Azolla, when I activated that Seer's Intuition spell earlier, I felt dangerous premonition in the Baron's territory.' Abium quickly informed Azolla.

'Oh? Are you planning to enter into that mysterious s.p.a.ce to confirm that?' Azolla asked curiously.

'Yeah, I also want to try and find out about their current situation.' Abium said with a grim tone.

'Hmm, do it then.' Azolla agreed. With a nod, Abium directly took that bronze ring and sent his concentration to that ring and towards that connection to that mysterious fountain.

The next instant, once again, he felt his soul being pulled in by some mysterious force and soon found himself in front of that fountain. At the same time, Abium saw the same bronze ring in his left palm and breathed out a sigh of relief.

'It worked. But I can feel there is a weight on my soul.' With an understanding nod, Abium quickly turned his attention to that white petal and touched it casually using his right hand. Soon, a rectangular mirror-like void appeared in front of his face. Abium quickly threw that bronze ring into that mirror-like void and started thinking about the current situation of this ring's owner.

Hum!

After a sudden vibration, the mirror began to change and soon replaced with an image of the execution ground near to the town square. At the execution platform, Abium saw a total of five heads placed in line!

'Baron already killed them and placed their heads in the execution platform!' Abium felt deep anger towards that Baron Harry. The next instant, the image dispelled, and soon Abium opened his eyes in the material world.

"They are already executed," Abium muttered in a low tone and quickly walked out of his room then returned to the reception hall. As soon as he reached the reception hall, Abium called that warrior named Page and moved out of the manor with a cold expression on his face.

"Let's go."

Helena also sheathed her sword to the Scabbed and chased after him. Claude and Viper also stood up and walked out of the hall. Meanwhile, Sarah, Lily, and Kuran stood rooted on the seats with gloomy faces.

"Let's arrange the accommodation place for those official guild members. Miss Lily, can you help me select which building is suitable for them?" Kuran quickly turns his face to normal and asked.

'I hope that elven kid won't kill that Baron on the spot. No, he will not do that but, Helena will kill him on the spot.' He wiped his cold sweats on his forehead and started pitying that Baron.

…

Afternoon, 1 P.M. At the summit of the frozen mountain range,

Abium, Page, Helena, Viper, and Claude walked out of the Alastall woodlands and arrived in front of the underground tunnel. Soon they noticed many footprints of humans and frowned.

'Baron's soldiers appear to be entered our territory earlier.'

Without minding those footprints, the group directly entered the tunnel and arrived at the other side after an hour. But soon, they were surprised as they saw a check post on the other side. There were a total of ten guards guarding, and soon they noticed their arrival.

"Page? Why are you bringing Baron to our territory? Haven't lord Harry told you earlier to deliver the message and get the money along with you?" It was the same soldier named Glover, who blocked Abium's carriage when they entered the Moondale town. He coldly looked at Abium, and others then soon turned his gaze towards Page.

"I got the money. But Baron said he did not trust me, so they accompanied me." Page said with the same arrogant voice.

"...Yeah, you do look like a criminal, so it's not a surprising thing." Glover said with a mocking laugh and soon turned his attention towards Abium's group then said. "If you want to come to Lord Harry's land, then you must pay tax ten white gold coins per person." His words almost infuriated Helena, but she simply gritted her teeth and stood silently. Abium sighed and started to speak coldly.

"We will wait here until evening. If our soldiers didn't return before dusk, you and your lord would know the consequence of opposing a mage."

Glover's expression went stiff for a second and soon nodded while backing away a few steps.

'He is a madman. I hope Elder Randolph and his family members didn't do anything foolish.' He hides his nervousness inside, and soon he and Page moved towards Moondale town, leaving other soldiers behind at the check post.

Abium's group stood at the entrance of the tunnel with gloomy expression and waited. Soon, hours went by and quickly turned dark. Finally, they saw a carriage moving towards their direction, and promptly Helena's and Claude's expression brightened.

Quickly, the carriage arrived in front of the checkpoint, and two new soldiers walked out.

Following that, they took out a bunch of leather bags and threw those towards the tunnel where Abium and others stood. Even the remaining soldiers who stood guarding were perplexed by that and gave a questionable stare.

"This is a gift from Lord Harry." One of that soldier shouted with a hint of mockery and soon signaled coachman to return to the Moondale. In a blink, the carriage vanished from their sight, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Sniff!

Helena slowly sniffed the air and frowned as she noticed rotten blood scent came from those bags.

"Head!" She called out in alarm as she opened a bag in a hurry. It was the head of a newly recruited soldier from the released slaves! Meanwhile, Claude knelt down and picked up a black-haired warrior's head with a painful expression on his face. Edward was a good friend and had been with him for years, but now he died for no reason made his blood boil in a seething rage.

"Baron of Moondale send their heads in return. Young Baron, what is your next move?" Viper glanced at those bags and asked with the same cold tone as he had already expected this type of outcome.

"We are going back. We will do a proper burial for them then, think about what to do next." Without even slightest change in emotion, Abium responded.

His reply made Helena and Claude widen their eyes, and soon Helena asked with confusion on her face.

"Tell me the reason why shouldn't we go and butcher that baron?"

"Because, if we go now, there is a possibility some of us will die there." Viper responded to her instead of Abium while shaking his head. Still noticing the puzzlement on both Claude's and Helena's face, he let out a sigh and started to explain.

"He is a not some foolish idiot to demand such an absurd amount without any backing strength. Unlike commoners, the n.o.bles are well literate and have basic knowledge of the outside world. He should have already known the danger of opposing a mage. Even if he did something foolishness like the last time, their family elder would have warned him. I think they already planned a big trap and trying to provoking young Baron to enter that trap."

As she heard those words from Viper, Helena started to understand the seriousness, and her expression turned grim. Meanwhile, Claude turned his gaze towards Abium and said solemnly.

"Lad, from the rotten smell coming from their heads, it seems they had killed them yesterday." He stopped for a second, and hurriedly asked: "What about the money?"

"I know. Don't worry about the money. I didn't give the money in cash. Also, those two cards are just fake ones." Abium said while turning his body, then moving into the tunnel.

"You already knew?" Helena picked up those heads and asked in a startled tone.

"Well, I also do divination sometimes. So, it's not a hard thing for me to see through that Baron's plan." He glanced back at her and said.

'If Page had asked me to pay cash, then it would have ended differently.' He sighed inwardly. If he hadn't cast seer's intuition spell and hadn't used that mysterious fountain's power to check about Edward's physical condition, he would have already lost 2000 white gold to that Baron Harry's family.

Meanwhile, Claude, Helena, and Viper startled a little and followed after him silently.

The group reached the Amara town at midnight, and within a few minutes, a woman's painful cry resounded inside the town while waking up everyone. She was none other than Edward's wife. Behind her were a 13-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl looking at their father's beheaded face with tears. Soon, everyone started to gather in front of Abium's new manor, and all those Claude's group members stood with a seething rage in their eyes.

A day later, in the corner of the cemetery, which located the southern side of the Amara town.

A large crowd gathered before a new tombstone. On it was Edward's name carved. A few feet away from there were another five graves.

Edward's wife stood before Edward's grave, without any focus on her face. Behind her stood both of her children, and both of their eyes appeared scarlet red color.

Abium, Claude, and another two warriors carried the coffin and walked over, lowering the coffin into the grave.

After individual prayers, the grave was filled with soil, covering the black coffin bit by bit. The grave was leveled, and soon a stone slab was laid over it.

Under the mournful atmosphere, all the members left one by one with an angry face.

…

February 23rd Night around 9 P.M.

Abium stood while gazing at the night star through the window and with a void of emotion.

'What happens to you, kid?' Azolla suddenly asked.

'I felt danger when I activated seer's intuition spell in the reception hall to find out about these guys' situation. I can tell the one who supports this Baron Harry is also a dangerous one.' He said with a bitter smile on his face.

'Do you have any guess?' Azolla asked with a curious tone.

'I don't know. Maybe Necromancers? That possibility is very high. Also, I can't rule out the possibility of the enemy being Light church's followers.' Abium said to Azolla with a frown.

'Moreover, I also spoiled their plan earlier, and that Holy maiden might still hold some grudge against me. He started to feel an urgency from deep inside his heart. 'An omen? Or I feel like that due to fear? Ha! I must construct a first-tier spell model quickly.' He suddenly thought of checking the spirit and said.

'Azolla, which spell is most suitable for me at the current situation?' Abium glanced at the blue screen and asked her.

'You now need attack power, kid. Chose red orb's corresponding spell Fireball.' Azolla said with a serious tone.

He also nodded and thought of start constructing the first tier spell next morning after informing Helena and others.

He soon laid on his bed and fell into a deep sleep while casting those worries away.
