Chapter 401: New Contracts?

Kain and the others lived in the temporary village created by the Elorians while they all went about their own business.

Caelum had already negotiated the release of the Elorians with the dragons. However, they absolutely refused to be without servants for a day, and so "suitable replacements" had been promised to the dragons to take the place of the Elorians.

Whatever other agreements were settled between Caelum and the Red Dragon King on behalf of the Empire were not the business of Kain and the others. Caelum, under a dragon escort, flew back to the borders of what the dragons considered their territory to deliver the demands of the dragons back to the Order and the Elorian Queen.

However, in the meantime, Kain and the others were to remain behind. Nominally, it was to ensure the safety of the villagers, most of whom were unawakened and had no combat power.
