The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6390

On the way, Gwendolyn quietly shot Jared a look that told him not to worry.

Jared gave a slight nod, but none of the pressure in him eased.

He knew this was only the beginning.

The process of repairing the spirit vein was never going to go smoothly from start to finish.

And the Sylvan Kin's prejudice against the human race was not something that would disappear overnight.

If they wanted real cooperation, there was still a long road ahead.

As they walked, Elder Cillian said to Jared and Gwendolyn, "The residential quarter of Evershade is up ahead, by the spirit-brook bank."

"The spiritual essence there is thick, so it's a good place to rest. But there is one thing the two of you must keep firmly in mind."

"There are many ancient spirit flora and spirit beasts within Evershade."

"They are all companions of the Sylvan Kin. Please don't touch them carelessly."

"That way, we can avoid any unnecessary conflict. Also, even though the Clan Chief agreed to cooperate, there are still many clansmen in the clan who hold hostility toward the human race."

"So please, try not to go out alone."

Elder Cillian gave the two of them those reminders with careful consideration.

"Thank you for the warning, Elder Cillian. We'll keep it in mind," Jared said with a respectful nod.

He could understand the hostility from the Sylvan clansfolk.

What had happened back then had cut too deep. Something like that wasn't going to be settled easily.

The only thing he could do was prove his sincerity with what he did.

Prove that not every member of the human race was greedy and deceitful.

Before long, the three of them reached the spirit-brook bank.

The scenery here was even lovelier than it had been in the depths of the vale.

The clear spirit brook moved along at an easy, gentle pace.

Tender green grass covered the banks, and strange flowers in every color grew thick beside the water.

Fresh spiritual essence filled the air and left the whole place clean and invigorating.

A row of small cottages sat along the bank, each one built from wood and woven vines.

They were small and finely made, blending perfectly into the world around them.

They were plainly the dwellings of the Sylvan Kin.

Elder Cillian led them to a cottage at the far end of the spirit brook and said, "Fellow adepts, this will be where you stay."

"Everything inside has already been prepared. You can rest here for now."

"At dawn tomorrow, I'll come for you and take you to the core spirit vein, where the restoration ritual will begin."

"If you need anything, just circulate your spiritual power and send out a signal. I'll come at once."

"Thank you for going to so much trouble, Elder Cillian." Jared cupped his fists and spoke with clear gratitude.

Elder Cillian gave a small nod, added a few more reminders, then turned and left.

Only after she watched Elder Cillian's figure recede did Gwendolyn let out the breath she had been holding.

She turned to Jared. "I didn't think Chief Greenwood would really agree to work with us."

"It took so much just to get here."

"But do you really have confidence you can repair the spirit vein?"

"Even the Sylvan Kin themselves haven't been able to solve the problem of the spirit vein running dry."

"Can the chaotic force really do it?" The uncertainty stayed plain in Gwendolyn's voice.

Jared smiled. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. The chaotic force is the primal power from when the world first opened. It holds all things and nourishes all things."

"At its root, the decay of the spirit vein is spiritual essence drying up and turning foul."

"The chaotic force happens to be able to cleanse that filth, nourish the spirit vein, and restore its damaged foundation."

"The only issue is that repairing the core spirit vein will consume a huge amount of chaotic force."

"And during the process, we may run into dangers we can't predict. We have to be extremely careful."

There was no wavering in Jared's gaze.

Gwendolyn looked at Jared, her eyes full of love, and said, "I'll stay with you the whole way."

By now, somewhere along this journey, Gwendolyn had already given her heart to Jared.

They were no longer just partners, and she was no longer simply asking him to help find her clansmen.

The two of them had become something much closer to companions in every way that mattered, bound as much in spirit as in fate.

"Whatever danger comes, we'll face it together. And if there's anything else you need... I can do that too..."

The moment the words left her mouth, color rushed across Gwendolyn's cheeks.
