Chapter 240: Uproching Hands of Evil (Part-4)
Moving around the palace and asking the guards and Maids. Kai was finally able to find Ludura standing in the royal garden with his eyes closed and a visible sense of enjoyment on his face.
When he noticed Kai's presence and opened his eyes and turned to look at him.
"Is there anything I can do to help you with Vali?"said Ludura with a calm voice and a gentle smile.
"Ludura, How much do you know about the source of cursed divine power hidden in the palace?"asked Kai with a serious expression.
As soon as Ludura heard Kai's questions his expression turned grave and said in a deep voice.
"Who told you there is a source of cursed divine power inside the palace?"
"I came to know about it from the spies of devil hand."said Kai as he explains the entire story.
Ludura clenched his hand with killing intent for an instant before he returned back to his usual self and sigh helpless,"For a minor god to come to know about it after such a long time. It seems someone has broken his oath. I should have killed them all that year and buried the secret for good."
"Still it seems like not much information is known to the god who knows about the origin of that thing or he would have personally come here."muttered Ludura by himself.
"Ludura, what secret are you talking about?"asked Kai with a calm voice.
Knowing the Ludura from Vali memories. He is well aware that he has a very gentle personality and will never do anything to harm and will others unless it has touched his lowest bottom line.
Laura looked at Kai and shocked his head with a distressed face.
"I will let you know about it later. But first let's go and stop Danlit and Antonio from informing the truth church or the situation will become even more complex and also don't tell Ava about it. Whether I want it or not, she is a saintess candidate under Goddess of truth, Aletheia who is a major god of Heaven. I don't want a fight between Abyss gods and heavenly god's taking place within my territory."
Kai nodded and followed Ludura to find King Danlit and Antiono who were still engrossed in thinking about the solution to the situation they were in.
When the door of the room opened, Kai, followed by Ludura, hurriedly entered the room; breaking their concentration.
"Lord Ludura, Evaron."
"Hmmm..I have heard everything from Evaron."Ludura spoke and looked at them with a serious expression.
"Have you guys sent any message to the church of truth?"
"No, still not but we were planning to after consulting you, Lord Ludura due to its relation with the source of cursed divine power."replied King Danlit honestly.
Confirming that Ludura felt like he had just avoided a calamity.
"Danlit and Antonio, both of you being present and future king. Let me give you a warning. Don't ever think of letting any gods of heaven and abyss know about the existence of that something like the source of cursed divine power is present in the other Kingdom or even I will not be able to protect you."said Ludura as he looked at them.
"But, Lord Ludura being the king of the Theothia Kingdom, do I not have the right to know what is hidden under my watch and can threaten the national security of my Kingdom and its people."
"Danlit, when you are powerful enough to look, stand equally with me. I will let you know before that it will only bring misfortune to you and your family. There are some things which are better left unknown if you don't have the ability to bear the consequences of knowing them."said Ludura with a strict tone and looked at Danlit for a moment before he continued the topic.
Seeing that Ludura doesn't want to talk about it. Antonio and Kai also calm down but still he was curious. Source of cursed divine power is made up of the same components as pure divine power; the only difference is the nature of the thoughts that are negative instead of positive. But he needs a large amount of spiritual energy for his cultivation. Yet, seeing how Ludura is behaving he had to put that aside for now.
"Now, let's come up with a plan to deal with the problem. But let me make it clear that I will not be able to help much in my current unstable situation."
Everyone was a little disappointed on hearing Ludura's words. King Danlit is quite confident in dealing with anybody under the magic emperor if Ludura backs him yet in this crisis. The greatest backer of the Kingdom is saying that he will not help.
Seeing a distressing look on Long Danlos face. Ludura smiled,"Don't worry. I will provide some strategic support. Which will reduce your losses to the minimum and improve your side battle power. What I cannot provide is the solution to how to handle three saint level experts and you should be prepared to face more than three cannot as there is no guarantee that there are only three experts in this group. But I can already see you as soon as any saint level expert enters the thousand kilometers radius of the capital city.
Second, make use of the information channel and alert all members of division 13 of army, which are working undercover inside villages and towns which fall on the road towards the capital and place restrictions on the entry and exit inside the capitol.
Third, prepare the royal guard to be ready to engage in battle and continue to act like we are still searching for the infiltrators.
Lastly, try to contact your grandfather and father, Danlit. I would like to have a talk with them."
"Talk with grandfather and father? Is this necessary, Lord Ludura? We don't even know where they have gone. The last time, I contacted them was about ten years ago"said Danlit
"Just do what I say. There are issues you can't solve and I can't leave the Theothia Kingdom for some time. I need them to go and visit some old friends."
