《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 14: Guidance
Advertisement
Serra was currently pondering in his room.
Lucas prepared a magnificent and luxurious room for him in a secluded part of the castle.
There were also some guards and maids posted nearby to answer to his demands.
"For the continent I'll raise, it shall be the Meis continent. I suppose I should go raise it right now."
If the various heads of the alliance heard those words, they might cough out blood.
The withdrawal of the Demon King's forces already caused them to worry, now the rise of a new continent?
They might cough up blood for real this time.
They would undoubtedly connect the withdrawal of the Demon King's forces and the rise of a fallent continent together.
As for what they imagine what will happen in the future...
They might get so worried that they might not be able to sleep easily.
"But before I go, perhaps I'll check on my two descendants?"
Serra smiled lightly before reaching out towards the bell in the desk near his chair.
The two descendants he was referring to was undoubtedly Eisel and Meileen.
*Ring*
The bell let out a melody.
*Creak*
The door opened to reveal a young lady dressed in the clothes of a maid.
The maid outfit fitted her black hair and eyes quite well.
"You called for me, milord?"
She asked in a respectful tone.
I wonder who this youth is for the king to tell us to obey him unconditionally and treat his words as the words of the king himself.
The maid wondered to herself.
Still, it didn't show in her face.
On the other hand, Serra felt a bit troubled.
So Lucas gave such orders? Well, it can't be helped but still... I'm not really fond of this kind of treatment... Also, maids nowadays are quite professional. Her thoughts aren't showing at her face at all... The maids back in the day weren't this good at all... Her cultivation is quite impressive too.

As a supreme expert, reading the thoughts of mortals is a simple matter.
Although this maid was quite a skilled expert as well.
Serra felt troubled at how his descendants worshipped him while impressed at how domestic workers improved their methods and standards.
Of course, it didn't show in his face at all.
For a moment, the two who didn't let their thoughts and emotions stared at one another.
Serra with a gentle smile and the maid with an expressionless face.
"Tell me where Princess Eisel and Meileen are."
The maid bowed.
"They are cultivating at the sacred grounds at present."
"I see. Take me there."
The maid furrowed her brow a bit.
Cultivation at the sacred grounds usually shouldn't be disturbed.
She would caution him if it weren't for the king's orders.
"Please follow me."
She bowed and began to walk gracefully out of the room.
"Oh yes, I forgot to ask something."
The maid stopped walking and turned towards Serra.
"What's your name?"
The maid was silent for a moment.
"It's Cordelia, milord."
Inside the Sacred Grounds.
The Sacred Grounds was large underground chamber.
The elemental essence of water and ice here was very high.
There were many experts of the Recquir Empire cultivating in silence.
Within the center, the place with the highest quality of elemental essense, were two girls.
Eisel and Meileen Recquir.
"This is where they are, milord."
The maid respectfully bowed towards Serra.
"Good work."
Serra gazed at the two training seriously.
Eisel, the graceful and elegant princess was cultivating letting no expressions show on her face as she gathered elemental essence and refined it.
Meileen, the mischievous princess was the same and was sitting beside her.
Looking at them, they truly were twins.
If they showed the same expression while cultivating, their aura's match.

Making it difficult to determine which princess is Eisel and which is Meileen.
But for Serra, he can peer at their souls and determine their identities easily.
It would be inappropriate for him to disturb them right now.
So, Serra sent out mental messages towards their minds directly.
Passing out information and words.
Eisel, Meileen heed my words. Cultivation is like sailing the rough seas. Be steady and cultivate at a steady pace. Here are some techniques to absorb elemental essense much more smoothly. And some techniques I once practiced and developed in the past. Continue your cultivation.
There was change in the expressions of both princesses.
A large amount of information detailing high-level cultivation techniques and combat techniques flowed into their minds and they instantly memorized them.
They simultaneously opened their eyes and gazed at the youth in front of them.
Serra smiled lightly and signalled them to stay quiet.
"Let's go."
Serra began to walk away.
How strange. He's not even going to say hello or cultivate? This is the Sacred Grounds! What a strange senior. He must be some supreme expert who hides his true appearance. That or some eccentric weirdo.
As usual, the maid Cordelia didn't show her feelings in her face but Serra clearly heard her thoughs.
...I'm not really fond of being called a weirdo but I suppose it looks that way to others doesn't it...
Serra was slightly depressed, but as expected, it didn't show in his face.
In a way, this was truly a weird pair.

8 261Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)
8 104In Pursuit of Bark's Finest
On the frontiers of transhumanity’s expansion into the galaxy thousands of light years from the light of Sol, things can get rather chaotic. There are countless millions of nascent interstellar nations securing their interests, pirate ships prospering off plunder and deniable mercenary work, dissidents setting up their own civilizations, and other groups all trying to push an agenda. When these groups crash into each other, the results can become extremely messy and convoluted. Recently, a frontier nation calling itself the Red Star Union has found itself at the focal point of one such complication. A freighter under their protection has been sabotaged, hijacked in interstellar space, and robbed of its cargo. This would be bad enough even if all it were carrying was luxury goods, but the freighter Nebula Plow was carrying more than just normal trade goods. Indeed, her cargo of Non-Orientable Wormholes for use in starship power plants was both very expensive and very, very dangerous. Now the Red Star Union has to worry about a pirate crew running around with several extra devices capable of converting matter into antimatter with negligible energy cost. With those, the pirates could be capable of inflicting untold damage if allowed to leverage their ill-gotten gains into a stronger position, a possibility the Union finds completely intolerable. Unfortunately, all that the Red Star Union has to go on for evidence is two names; that of the captain, and that of the ship. The Captain is going by the possible pseudonym of Fuller, while the ship is named Bark’s Finest. And thus the orders came down to the Union’s Bureau of Starforce Intelligence: find more information on these pirates, conclusively identify them, and figure out where exactly they’ve gone to ground so that the fleet can crush them before they get established. Of the many agents that the bureau assigned to this mission, one would happen to play an important role: Field Agent Madeline Zargosty. This is her story. This story is entirely pre-written, and will have one chapter released per week. If you want to read it all ahead of schedule and get access to some premium-exclusive bonus content, the entire book is available for purchase; links to the appropriate storefront pages will be posted at the end of each chapter. This story is also being posted to Scribblehub.
