CHAPTER 550: STRANGE PERSON

That person is weird.

Not in the sense that this person is awkward. Weird here, refers to feeling of uneasiness, creepiness, like you are in a dark tunnel and the silence made you feel mad

That is the kind of feeling he felt when he sees that person

The whole things reeks of something weird.

Aeryon is quite sure that Angah knows more than what he is saying but that old thing is as cunning as Garron

No, it is not quite right to describe him as cunning like the snake.

It is more like an old person who have known the ways of the world and appear to gives advice when he needed it

But there is always a price to this kind of advice.

Aeryon hated that.

It felt like Angah could see through him.

This kind of feeling is something he hated very much. It is the same reason he wanted to kill Jayeux when he read his article and plans.

That person knows his heart. And nothing more is terrifying for a ruler that as ambitious as Aeryon for someone to know his heart

Aeryon rejected this person and this person simply said he would be in Ashana Angah tent if he changes his mind. So, for a week now he has been trying to find other solutions.

He sighed

There is a lot in his mind right now.

"The west is moving and I could not delay it"

He is also preparing to mobilize his men.

There is enough grain, the weapons are sharpened, the soldiers are full of morale and this is the time for him to make a move.

He also wanted to wait a bit more and strengthen more of his foundation but this is not a turn-based game

Just because he wanted to wait, does not mean that other people wanted to wait.

There is too many noises in the upper west.

And there is news in the central west area that the Cha Ner Ul Alliance is amassing a great army.

Three chief meets at the middle of the Chagai Lake. These three chiefs would not meet each other for simple reason

What kind of affair that would make these three chiefs to meet each other?

Aeryon did not have to rack his brain to know. This must have something to do with their target on summer.

Aeryon felt that Cha Ner Ul is really going to make a move now

"There must be a reason for this. A hasty decision like this would not appear out of nowhere" Aeryon thought to himself.

Aeryon had never entertained the idea that Cha Ner Ul Alliance would not fight with him

But even so, he believes that Cha Ner Ul would not attack him right now.

Instead, they would wait. Probably they would wait until he fight with Esbizuk tribe and then stabbed him in the back

There is many ways for things to play out and Aeryon as banking on the fact that the Cha Ner Ul Alliance would wait.

But this sudden change of plans.... there must be something brewing in the Cha Ner Ul tribe.

He just doesn’t know what.

He has spies in the Cha Ner Ul Alliance but it is not easy to get the core information.

Something must have happened to Chadha for something to change.

Because he knows the only one with enough reason and determination to fight him would only be Chadha.

As for the other two, their focus would be elsewhere.

But if Chanda call upon them relying on his influence, he would be able to convince these two tribes to attack his tribe

he truly has too many things to think about this time

"Allow it" he mutters to himself.

"As long as that person could heal Ayera, I would allow it" he thought to himself.

Of course, he did not have to go inform that person right now.

He would meet him this afternoon.

"I need to ask him and Angah at the same time"

There is things he needs to find out from Angah

Since he is the one asking for help, he should show this person proper respect. He should prepare some feast or some rewards.

That kind of person doesn’t seem like someone that wanted a reward. But it is the gesture that is important.

To deal with people, sometimes, just because you know something doesn’t mean that certain gesture or intention could be left behind.

This person doesn’t seem harmful and he seems to be quite a quite person.

When they spoke before, he spoke in a curt manner yet he was not really arrogant.

Aeryon could tell that this person is someone who is used to be on a high position of power. That kind of feeling would not be felt if it’s a commoner.

The kind of temperament of looking down over the world. But not in the same way like Aeryon did.

More like he had transcended these human feelings.

That is the vibe he gets from that person

One did not feel that he was arrogant in his conduct and this strange man gives him all the necessary respect.

He was not acting superior but he was also not overly humble. And Aeryon never expected humility from a strange man like that

Wearing such a mask make his heart unsettled and the name is also simple but yet only added to the mystery of this man

Nergui. There is a few meanings of the name Nergui. One of them means Nameless.

That is what he called himself.

Ashana Angah simply explains to him that this person is a strange person that did not like his name being known

So, instead of a name, this Nameless is more like a placeholder for his name

If this was before Aeryon would ask many questions but he had met enough strange people that he accepted it readily.

Before this, they were also this kind of strange man that have strange rules.

Some did not eat Tayak mixed with other meat, some train in the morning, some did not talk.

Some needs to drink dew in the morning and ate only once a month.

It is like some kind of ascetic that have their own rules and laws

"I need to hear the details from Ashana Angah later"

Aeryon close his eyes for a moment, takes a deep breath and exhale and sighed.

If he, could he wanted to find a way to not use this kind of strange man to help his wife.

But he had call all the medicine man that he could and no one seems to knows what is wrong with her.

Aeryon suspected that it is something that also weird and strange things.

After all, even though Aeryon is not well versed in medicine, he also knows internal energy.

After that battle, he was also digesting the result and his understanding of internal energy had increased

He had checked Ayera pulse.

There is nothing wrong with her internal energy

There was some chaotic energy but by now most of the chaotic energy inside her body had already dissipated.

There is no internal injury that would cause her to collapse like this.

Some of the Ashana who is well versed in bones and the inner body treatment had also told him there is no injury to the head, or any bleeding in the head and inside the head.

If one look at it, Ayera is actually healthy.

The only thing weird about her condition is that she seems to be asleep and did not have any intent to wake up

"If I could...." and he sighed again.

Since no one seems to know how to treat her, he could only accept Ashana Angah helps and thinking of this he could not help but sigh.

But at the same time, the rock in his heart has also loosened.

After all, he did not want his stubbornness top become the cause for Ayera harm

First, he needs to save her first.

He sat there for a moment.

Just calming himself down.

Certain things, he could not do anything and could only work with what he’s got. And that is his current situation.

Then he got up.

He walk to a carved wooden beam near the window. There is a puller rod and then he uses this rod to pull down the circular rings.

The moment he did this, he pulls down a large map from the wooden beam that is rolled up near the beam of the ceiling

Aeryon look at it and he nodded

"Those craftsmen did not disappoint men"

There is a map now inside his study. The map itself is large. Like a painting

A braided leather loop hangs from the bottom rod, allowing him to pull the map down gently.

The mechanism is simple but clever: a hidden counterweight inside the casing lets the map roll back up when released, much like a bowstring relaxing after a shot.

It is held taut by braided horsehair cords.

When not in use, it rolls up neatly into its case in the ceiling, which is shaped like a narrow scroll box. This scroll box is even decorated.
