Chapter 1327
A new legate to defend Novemton's lands had been born. And in his first battle, he had killed Bashir, an immortal. This battle sent tremors throughout the outlands and would be recorded in history books for generations. The people will forever remember the newborn hero who took over Wyvern Peak at the mere age of nineteen, codenamed Dominus."Dominus!" "Dominus!" The people at Wyvern Peak chanted, sending echoes throughout the place. Novemton's new leader had ascended, ensuring the safety of their lands and the people within. On the flip side, the outlands were in chaos from the shock of this event.More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Novemton was revamped after Jerome took over. Various major squads in Wyvern Peak were sent to defend the natural moats on his orders. The upper management within Wyvern Peak, including the ten battle warriors and the eight godkings, had changed hands. This allowed everyone within Wyvern Peak to work together as a unit.Over the few d

Samantha was so excited that she began to imagine this exact scene. 'I'm sure we’ll have many grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. At that time, they’ll surround us, begging their grandfather to tell him stories from his past.'Adrian laughed when he heard this. "I'd have some many stories for them I’d never finish. I wonder where I should start… How about I start from the time I married you after their great-grandfather passed away?"Samantha chuckled. She bent down and buried her face in Adrian’s chest. He gently stroked her smooth and lush long hair. "We've been through a long journey together. After seven years, I thought you'd never come home.”Samantha shut her eyes as she spoke, while Adrian revealed a wry smile. As she was enjoying the feeling of Adrian stroking her hair, someone suddenly called out, "War Legate Draco?”"Hey, sir!" A nurse walked toward them from the hospital building. Samantha quickly got up and composed herself, while Adrian turned around and a

Adrian did not respond to Samantha, and instead said to Jenny, "How's my recovery going, Jen? Can I be discharged?""What? You want to be discharged?" Stunned, Jenny continued, "Are you kidding me, sir? You’ll need at least another hundred days before your bones and muscles are repaired. There’s no way I'm not letting you out of here,” she said sternly. "But it’d be the same if I rested at home," Adrian replied. "How is that the same? Here, you've got me, a professional nurse, taking care of you and tending to your wounds. You won't have me if you go home, let alone someone as professional as me," Jenny said with a smirk. Adrian’s eyes twitched. "There's something really important I need to do, Jen. I can't stay here any longer."Jenny became very displeased. "What could be more important than your own health? No means no. You're far from being allowed to be discharged by hospital standards.""This is really important. The whole world depends on it. I can't postpone my dischar

Adrian nodded, and Jenny went off. ***Darius Wilkins and Emma Lotz, Jenny's parents, were preparing lunch when Jenny got home. She darted into her room and packed her stuff. Her parents looked at each other."What are you doing, Jen? Have you been transferred or are you heading out on a business trip?" Emma asked in confusion."Yes, Mother. I'm going out on a business trip, but I'm not sure for how long." This made her parents even more confused. Darius asked, "What's going on? Why would the hospital send an inexperienced nurse on a business trip? I'm sure your leader has made a mistake somehow."Darius loved teasing his daughter, and Jenny stuck her tongue out when she heard this. "It's not a mistake. I'm the best nurse there in Swallowston Hospital.""You are?" Emma said in disbelief."Your mother's right. How could you be the best nurse in Swallowston Hospital with that feisty temper of yours and your inexperience? I doubt the hospital's any good if you’re the best th
Chapter 1331
Samantha and Jenny returned to Swallowston Hospital where Adrian was waiting.Samantha said, "I've spoken to the director, so we can leave now. But he says you still need to remain in your wheelchair for another month or it'll affect your recovery.""Okay, I’ll do that. Come on, Jen. Let's go."***Samantha drove Adrian and Jenny to One Jewel Road. This was Jenny’s first time in their house. Her mouth hung wide open when she saw how luxurious and beautiful the place was. She curiously observed everything she could set her eyes on as they strolled through the courtyard.Gloria, Rue, Adaline, and Juno were sitting in the yard, with Nova in Adaline's arms. She was trying to get Nova to speak. "Adrian? Why have you come home?" Gloria asked when she saw Adrian get out of the car. "Ada, could you help me get Adrian into his wheelchair please?” Samantha asked."I’ll do it." Juno got up and carried Adrian out of the car and into the wheelchair. Adrian said, "Nicholas sent me a le

Mya shot Adrian a fierce glare. "This man's an immortal who can do anything you can think of. He was born in a village and helps the villagers excavate rocks. He has an ailing grandmother who needs round-the-clock care. He refused my invitation because he has to take care of her.""An immortal?" Adrian was surprised. Mya nodded. "That's right. I confirmed this with the locals who’ve seen lights coming out of his body while he’s meditating. Some have even seen him levitating. But the locals call him a monster or a mutant.”"Interesting…" Adrian's interests were piqued.The chances of an immortal living in hiding within Novemton were very low. Jerome would have had fierce competition if that man had participated in the legate selection.Adrian asked, "What's his name and how old is he?""His name's Strider Hicks and he's twenty this year. He also has an eighteen-year-old sister by the name of Caitlyn Thorne. I've done some digging and found that Strider grew up with his grandfat
Chapter 1333
Gloria packed some clothes for Adrian, while Jenny grabbed all the medication he would need for the trip.The trio left for Strider Mountain an hour later, a place fabled to be one of the ten immortal mountains of Navia. It was said that many become immortals atop Strider Mountain a long time ago, and these people were recorded in history as legends with their own unique stories.The mountain was located on Navia's southern border. Surrounded by numerous mountains, this place fell under the jurisdiction of Knoxville. At the foot of the mountain sat Strider Village, and there were fifty kilometers of mountainous roads between the village and Knoxville.About fifty families lived in Strider Village, and the place only obtained electricity after Crystal became the monarch. Living a life of poverty, the people there got by as rock excavators and sellers.Before leaving for Strider Mountain, Adrian had Mya bring along a few more people with them to meet Strider.***Jerome was sitting

Sage said, "Mya has been searching throughout Novemton for people of various talents. It does look like War Legate Draco has been forming a team to head out to the Uduma Desert and Mount Shangspar."Crystal nodded. "We think so too. Based on the information we currently have, we suspect Gostia and Partingia are somehow related to the events that took place at Isle 416.""Are you saying the meteorites at Isle 416 exist at these ancient ruins too?" Sage asked."Exactly.” Sage turned to Jerome. "We've got all the meteorites on Isle 416 locked up in storage. We can’t allow the outlanders to get ahold of something similar before we get to the bottom of its secrets. Otherwise, they may come up with something that could harm this whole world."Crystal said, "Correction. The outlanders will surely put whatever resources they can into researching these meteorites should they get their hands on them. This isn't a matter to be taken lightly." She looked at Jerome. "What do you think? Should
