Eps 19 The return of Dann

Dracko left Natali's tent and walked quickly to the Spring Colony headquarters. Upon arrival, he found Kreig, Neved, William, and Dann already gathered. Seeing Dann, Dracko was surprised and jokingly said, 'Wow, this meeting will definitely take a long time if Dann is here.'

Dann, who was used to Dracko's jokes, replied with a smile, 'This meeting will be even longer if you keep coming late, Dracko.'

Neved, who had grown impatient, reprimanded them sternly, 'Enough of the jokes. We don't have much time. Kreig, start the meeting immediately.'

The atmosphere inside the headquarters became more serious when Kreig opened the meeting. He immediately asked Dann, 'Dann, how was your assignment?'

Dann answered calmly, 'Everything went well. Our other four members are on their way and will arrive in four days. They are bringing vehicles to transport our goods and equipment. I also found a safe area not far from Glory Kingdom. It's better than continuing to fight with the increasingly powerful Horned Serpent.'

Kreig listened carefully and after considering, he decided, 'Alright, we'll prepare the supplies and wait for the other members to arrive before continuing the journey. We need to make sure that we are ready for anything.'

Suddenly, Kreig remembered something and asked, 'Where did Primo go?'

Dracko replied, 'Primo is at Natali's side right now. Besides, Primo hasn't officially become an officer of Spring Colony yet, so it's not his duty to attend this meeting.'

Dann, who looked very surprised, immediately asked, 'What has happened? Why does Natali need treatment?'

In a more serious tone, Kreig began, 'We encountered a very powerful Horned Serpent. When the situation became uncontrollable, we decided to return to the colony to seek help. However, just as we were about to arrive, we were almost killed. William and Primo arrived just in time to save us, but Natali overused her magic. As a result, she vomited blood and is now unconscious.'

William added, 'Actually, Primo's attack was fatal to the Horned Serpent. She has great potential to improve, especially considering her young age.'

Dann, curious, asked again, 'What were you looking for to explore that far?'

Kreig replied, 'We're looking for Fouquieria plants to make orb cores. We'll give the orb to Primo as a token of our gratitude and inaugurate him as the head of Spring Colony. This orb can increase the number of cores in the body, which is very important for Primo so that he can survive longer. Since Primo's magic is very powerful, excessive use of the Core could be very dangerous for him.'

Dann looked amazed, but also worried, and asked, 'Did you manage to get the Fouquieria plant? It's very rare, and is said to have camouflage magic so it's hard to find.'

Dracko proudly took out a leaf tip of the Fouquieria plant they had obtained, 'Yes, we managed to find it.'

However, Dann still had his doubts, 'Can the leaves of this Fouquieria plant still be used to make orbs?'

William answered confidently, 'Although the leaves may not be optimal, Primo is now much stronger. Steven and I have taught him how to use the Spirit technique and how to use the Core efficiently. Steven even taught Primo how to use Fate.'

Everyone in the room was surprised to hear that. Dann said in a worried tone, 'Isn't that too much? The use of Fate is very difficult to learn, and only Steven has mastered it.'

William firmly replied, 'You guys saw it yourselves, the Horned Serpent was defeated with Fate magic, although it wasn't perfect. Primo has great potential.'

Kreig added, 'We all know, using Fate is never easy, even for us.'

Dracko, who was getting excited, said, 'What did I say? That kid has very high potential. I can't wait to see him in his prime.'

They all laughed at Dracko's enthusiasm. However, the mood soon turned serious when Kreig gave them a new task.

'We must remain alert under any circumstances,' Kreig said in a stern tone. 'Dracko, Dann, you will lead the hunt for the Horned Serpent. We can't let our guard down.'

After the tasks were divided, they dispersed from the meeting and returned to their respective tents to rest, preparing themselves for the tough days ahead.
