“We should not only focus on his temporary performance, but rather his series of performances. Whether we look at his daily actions, previous migrant resettlement, flood relief efforts, the Ashaba River governance plan, or the welfare program in Mist Valley, they all prove his character. He truly seeks to develop the Valley and benefit the ordinary Valley people. Many of these plans are ones we hadn’t done or even thought of.”
“Organizing fifty thousand people to migrate thousands of kilometers is not just an exhibition of ability but also of charisma. Without adequate cohesion, it would be impossible to accomplish this task.”
“The combat prowess he demonstrated is flawless, much like our years of dedicated research. To combat a Dragon Sorcery Wraith, the simplest and most effective method is also to transform into an Undead State.
However, in this state’s disadvantage, I believe all of you present deeply understand. Once we leave the Anka Estate’s protection, we will gradually lose all emotions, becoming cold machines that only know slaughter. It’s uncertain whether our guardianship duty will turn into the catastrophe of those we wish to protect. Can he completely control this power? Can he resist the erosion and temptation from Negative Energy?”
“This question certainly deserves careful consideration.”
“Isn’t this the purpose of our existence? We will take on the duty of supervising him, ensuring he doesn’t tread the wrong Path.”
“I think we shouldn’t continue waiting. Just this one has already kept us waiting for over three hundred years. Who knows when the next will appear? By then, the entire Valley might have already been devoured by those evil and greedy merchants.”
“I agree to let him inherit our legacy, adhering to our Path and completely dismantling the evil City-state Alliance of Sambia.”
“The longer we wait, the longer our people suffer Sambia’s exploitation and oppression. We shouldn’t hesitate and be indecisive.”
These ghosts, in front of Gaven, were evaluating him. From their words, it wasn’t hard to realize that while their presence was confined to the Anka Estate, their information was quite well-informed, and they were clear about everything concerning Gaven.
In light of Regina’s previous explanation, this occurrence wouldn’t be surprising.
Since they were clear about the situation in the Anka Estate, communication with these Sage Undead and sharing intelligence was natural.
In other words, the trial of the Anka Estate didn’t start from now.
From when he stepped into Battle Valley, and began interacting with Lord Ilmet and Regina, unknowingly, it had already started. Now it was merely the final test, facing the involved parties.
These ghosts felt similar to Estelle and other Earthbound Spirits. They were spiritual bodies, yet not dominated by Negative Energy; instead, they used Negative Energy, still retaining human emotions.
“Since our opinions can’t be unified, why don’t we listen to the views of the person involved?” Anka’s words refocused all ghostly gazes on Gaven, “Duke Gaven, give us a reason we can’t refuse.”
Gaven surprisingly said: “I feel your trials themselves have significant errors.”
Anka didn’t show any annoyance at being questioned but gently asked: “What errors exist? Tell us.”
“Before answering, Lord, could you first help me solve a confusion?” Gaven asked instead.
“Sure.” Anka was more straightforward than legends suggested.
“Since the Lord hasn’t perished, why not resurrect? It’s more compelling and enchanting to accomplish your grand aspirations personally compared to passing them on to someone else.”
If Anka had already vanished, inheriting his legacy would be understandable. The involved party still exists here as a ghost; resurrection wouldn’t be difficult.
“It’s not unwillingness, but impossibility,” Anka calmly replied, “Initially, to stop the necromancer Alakancer and Dragon Sorcery Wraith Alaba from causing harm and resurrecting, I used a secret technique to burn my own soul, sealing them together with me in this estate.
What you see now is just my residual soul. Once someone inherits my legacy, it will be my complete disappearance and the moment of those two evil resurrections.”
“No wonder you set the final trial to kill the necromancer and Dragon Sorcery Wraith. You worry that if someone inherits your legacy, the resurrected necromancer and Dragon Sorcery Wraith will soon seek vengeance, repeating the old path?” Gaven suddenly realized, this trial had such profound meaning.
“Your reaction is quick,” Anka praised, “Correct, unifying the Valley is a tough Path. When you choose to walk this Path, the Dragon Cult’s cultists are the enemies you must face, as they are the true controllers behind the Sambiyan Kingdom.
If one lacks the power to fight a Dragon Sorcery Wraith, then don’t follow in my footsteps. Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Moreover, the current situation is more complex than three hundred years ago. Not only have the Dragon Cult’s grassroots organizations expanded to three, dozens of Dragon Sorcery Wraiths exist, and several Ancient Ancient Dragons have joined the ranks of the Dragon Sorcery Wraiths.
