Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 698 I’ve Come As Promised
Chapter 698 I’ve Come As Promised
The next day, Ethan returned to his grandparents’ house with Luna.
Her family agreed to let the young lady come with Ethan to Southshire, convinced by the young man’s passionate speech about wanting to spend his lifetime with Luna.
But there was one more surprise that awaited them, for it was not only Luna who came back with him.
Lilian and her grandfather, Gilbert, were also coming with them to Southshire, which made Ethan very happy.
There was still a month before the start of the next school year, and they had more than enough time to prepare before returning to Brynhildr Academy.
Of course, Agnes was more than happy to see her two future daughters-in-law, whom she had seen in the past.
Gilbert, who was visiting Ethan’s home for the first time, couldn’t help but arch his eyebrows after sensing many elite individuals guarding the farm from places that were hard to see.
This reminded him of what Ethan’s sister, Joanne, had said back in the Oswald Residence.
“We have a castle in Midgard.”
Those words were stuck in Gilbert’s head, especially after sensing the strength of the Old Catkin who was part of Ethan’s entourage.
Old monsters like Enzo were very rare—instead of getting weak as they grew older, they only became more deadly.
Gilbert could tell that if he and Enzo were to fight, there was a possibility that the one who would lose was him.
As someone who had been on the battlefield, Gilbert could tell whose hands were covered with more blood between the two of them.
“We can depart tomorrow, Young Master,” Enzo said as he approached Ethan. “The preparations to go to Southshire have already been completed.”
“Good work, Enzo,” Ethan replied. “You’re very dependable as usual.”
“Thank you for the praise, Young Master.” Enzo bowed respectfully. “The Mistress has prepared everything for our trip, including the gifts that she will give to Lily’s Family as dowry.” freewёbnoνel.com
Ethan smiled faintly. He already knew about this matter. In fact, he was quite happy that his mother was doing her best to form a good relationship with Lily’s family, who would soon become her in-laws.
Agnes had also prepared her own gifts to give Lily’s Family.
As for Ethan, he had plenty of treasures that he obtained from the Magdar Kingdom, as well as the treasures given to him by Illumina.
The Mermaid Princess did not only give him countless pearls of different colors and sizes but also the treasures from one of the sunken ships that had come to rest at the bottom of the sea.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Ethan had enough wealth to make Agnes start dancing like a teenager and laugh out loud until their neighbors started to complain about it.
Luna, Chloe, Lilian, Emma, and Lilith had gathered together to think of a gift that they would give Lily as a gift for her wedding with Ethan.
All of them were envious because she would become Ethan’s first wife. However, they were genuinely happy for them because they knew that their lover also wished to marry them as soon as possible.
But the ladies also understood that they were still too young for marriage.
Only Lilith, who was already in her early twenties, was the exception.
But after hearing the young man’s declaration that he would be marrying all of them at the same time in his next wedding, Ethan’s lovers stopped worrying about anything related to marriage.
For now, they would celebrate Ethan’s and Lily’s marriage and make sure that the two of them would have a memorable wedding.
Joanne, who had been told that Lily was her best friend’s Magic Teacher and Master, couldn’t wait to meet her.
Princess Ramona had asked her to pass a message to Lily, which Ethan’s sister planned to do without fail.
The next day, just before sunrise, Ethan’s entourage was already onboard two flying ships that were headed toward Southshire.
It would take them three days to reach their destination because there were no teleportation gates that could lead them directly to where Seff and his family lived.
Lily told him that they lived in a place called Northlake Forest.
It was a forest bordered by mountains on all sides that served as a natural barrier.
At the center of it all was a giant lake surrounded by four rivers which were responsible for nourishing the land and the Beastkins who lived in the lush forests.
The home of the Beastkins was built on the base of the mountains, and Seff’s home was built on the middle part of the mountain, which overlooked the forest and the lake at the center of it.
When they were nearing their destination, dozens of Giant Hawks started to encircle them.
Beastkins could be seen on the back of the Hawks, and they eyed their visitors as if wanting to know their identities.
Usually, the Beastkins would tell everyone who was passing over their territory to scram.
However, they were expecting guests of the Beast King, so they decided to ask first before making their move.
“Halt!” a Bearkin, who was riding the biggest hawk, hovered beside Ethan’s Flying Ship. “What is your business in Northlake?”
“My name is Ethan Gremory, and I have come to visit Lord Seff,” Ethan replied.
The Bearkin, as well as the other Beastkins, looked at Ethan from head to foot because they had already been told about him.
“So it’s you,” the Bearkin narrowed his eyes. “The Beast King has been expecting you. Follow me.”
After confirming that the new arrivals were indeed the guests of their King, the Hawk Riders of Northlake allowed them to pass through and escorted them to the home of their King.
Unlike the Human Kingdoms, the Beast King didn’t live in a castle.
He just lived in a very large house that was as big as two football fields.
It was made from wood and was two stories high.
However, no one, especially those who had high-ranking positions among the Humans, Elves, and Dwarves, would dare look down on the Beast King’s residence.
The reason?
It was because he was the strongest King among the four Factions.
Some even say that, in his Beast Form, he and Professor Rinehart were evenly matched—even if the Professor were using his Complete Resonance.
The Hawks screeched, informing their King that their guests had arrived.
As if waiting for that moment, Seff stepped out of the house and glanced at the two flying ships that were still a mile away from his residence.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he took a step forward and disappeared from where he stood.
A few seconds later, he reappeared hundreds of meters high up in the air.
Taking another step, he once again disappeared.
“So you’ve come.”
Ethan glanced at the two-meter-tall man whose entire body was exuding a strength that matched his title as the Beast King.
“Yes, Father,” Ethan replied. “I’ve come as promised.”
Seff observed the young man from head to foot, and couldn’t help but arch an eyebrow.
“You’ve grown stronger again,” Seff commented. “This is good. Lily’s brothers are itching to test whether you are worthy of their sister.”
“As long as they don’t complain about getting beaten up, I don’t mind playing with them,” Ethan stated.
Seff smiled faintly and patted the young man’s shoulder. “It seems that you’ve also grown confident since the last time we saw each other. I’m looking forward to an interesting show.”
Ethan nodded before introducing his mother, sister, and grandparents to Seff, who greeted them with respect and promised that they would have the best hospitality that the Beastkins could offer during their stay.
