'Devil? Is she - assuming they're a she - a demonkin of some sort? How powerful? A basic devil is a god to demons but the weakest of the devil types. I could take a devil in a fight but that isn't the real concern here. Does she have a connection to Zel? Is she even a devil at all? Maybe her name is a lie like my own is?' Lone wondered, having recovered immensely from his initial shock.

The blue-haired foxkin looked shocked and then immediately outraged upon processing the two dismissive and equally rude questions. However, before he could open his mouth to potentially escalate matters further, he was beaten to the punch by Lone.
Pulling out his adventurer tag and displaying it, Lone said, "I am gold-silver plate adventurer Lone Immortus, Immortus the Immortal. I'm currently on a quest to escort the merchant group behind me through these lands. We have no business with...

"You truly are strong," Redorick commented as he led Lone away from the makeshift battlements that were being disassembled. "Did you really injure Prince Keining?"
'Something light to warm me up before we talk about his kid? Okay. I'm not impatient,' Lone thought as he nodded. "Less injure and more scratch, and it took the combined effort of several skills and weapon mastery addi...

As the merchants were busy arranging the wagons and carriages into a circular formation to defend from all sides, Lone had used the Blood Clone floating around in his veins to fly above the makeshift battlement directly above its centre.
He was sitting in a cross-legged position while Breena and Sophie were at his side, both of them standing on a barrier Sophie had conjured. The Blood Clone assigne...

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lone Immortus," the man whose race Lone knew to be Flint Wolfkin replied. "Officially I'm Redorick Halbundon, the owner of an independent merchant band under the Elgoran Merchant's Union. To a fellow beastkin, however, I'm Esto Silverfang. Now, you said 'negotiations'.

'So no need to teleport them to our safe house in the Farwinds?' Lone asked Soph after having received her update on Prince Keining's movements.
He was only a few streets away from the nearest guild branch and if Soph gave the signal, a few unfortunate things would come to pass. Unfortunate ...

Lone shrugged in response to his sister's question. "Not really sure. Once a month or so? I'm invested in all of your growth, so much more often than once every half year at least. Speaking of half a year though, How're you guys doin' skill-wise? I see Scott is an H-ranker now. Congrats, big man."

'My bones are repairing themselves faster and faster and I'm being flung around with noticeably less force now, so I'd reckon I've earned Force Magic Resistance and it's at least intermediate, maybe advanced. I just can't find an opening to attack him though,' Lone thought as he used Ungrounded to bound through the air towards the prince once again.
This time, however, something changed. A frown crossed the massive man's expression and his head darted to look at the V.I.P. boot...

Strike after strike battered away at Lone's blood fortress shield. Occasionally one wouldn't be negated by Fortress Shield Mastery and Kevin's estoc, Ellie, would come very close to piercing the Blood Clone.
However, the strength of Blood Clone combined with Lone's passive skill Blood Thickening and the 95% force nullification of Fortress Shield Mastery prevented any breaches in the fluid bubble that protected his body.

With all of the paperwork out of the way, Lone and his group made their way to courtyard three. The enclosure itself wasn't particularly fancy though it did have a certain appeal to it. The whole area was made entirely out of a stone Lone didn't recognise, likely a type of mineral resistant to damage, he guessed.
The space could likely hold upwards of a thousand people which only spoke of how large this branch of the guild was. Already the courtyard had a couple of hundred occupants, al...

While they left the palace as a group of four, Lone looked to Yulia and asked, "Which is closer; Mason and Sons, or the strongest branch of The Adventurer's Guild?"
Yulia furrowed her brow. "I do not know. My familiarity with this city is limited despite me having called it home for six centuries now. I know the ins and outs of the magical district, the location of a few auction halls, and every branch of the C.A.A. Anything else and you would be better served asking a guardsman."

"How do you know my name? I'm hardly the most public of Lord Keining's children," Yulia asked.
"The walls have ears. You gonna answer my question now?" Lone fired back as he thought, 'Lord Keining? Not 'Father', 'Prince Keining', or simply 'Dad'? Wonder what that's about.'
"I'm here to verify a few things," Yulia replied without really answering, her disdain palpable in the air.
It was then that Lone felt something brushing up against his Puzzle Locked Mind. It wasn...

Andrew Keining, the 16th son of Prince Keining - the ruler of the Keining Principality, exhaled a deep breath of relief as he jogged down the gravel road with his retainers in tow.
"So it was a gold-silver plate. Thank the Gods," he said. "What more do you know of them, Hesha?"
