Chapter 201 - 201 125 Familiar Recipe _2

201: Chapter 125, Familiar Recipe _2 201: Chapter 125, Familiar Recipe _2 Everything was going incredibly smooth, even if there were differing opinions.

Forced by the overarching need, everyone chose to swallow their objections.

…

“Baron Hudson, Count requests your presence!”

The maid’s voice surprised Hudson.

The banquet was over, he had thought he could go back to sleep, but had not expected to be kept back.

Although they had met several times, there was no particular friendship between him and Earl Piers.

On the contrary, they had had a bit of a falling out.

Last time in Dardiel City, he was subject to pettiness.

That unpleasant memory was still fresh in Hudson’s mind.

“Okay, lead the way!”

Hudson calmly responded.

Looking for him at this time, it couldn’t possibly be another act of pettiness, could it?

If it were deliberate targeting, Earl Piers would have had plenty of opportunities to exploit.

There was no need to cause trouble at this critical time, which could hinder the efforts to combat the locust plague.

Following the maid to the reception hall, Hudson saw seven chairs neatly arranged and very consciously chose to sit at the last one.

Experience told him, those who could come for discussions during this time were all important figures in the province.

Being a latecomer, it was best not to cause any annoyance.

Before he could even warm his seat, several people walked into the hall one after another, all of whom he had met at the banquet.

Their exact strength was unknown.

They seemed no different from normal people.

It should be a return to simplicity, there was no way to judge their strength based on their aura, but one thing was certain, they were stronger than him.

“Baron Hudson, has your bear come of age?”

The question came from a kind and compassionate old magician.

But Hudson wasn’t fond of him at all, was his trump card something that could be casually revealed?

“Master Yuri, don’t you think this question is a bit inappropriate?”

Hudson retorted unhappily.

He had not been without gains at the banquet.

After eavesdropping and observing, Hudson had a preliminary idea of how to deal with these old guys.

Being polite and courteous was meaningless.

There were too many people around fluttering and flattering, so they had long since become immune.

They would not treat you differently because of politeness.

Only strength caught their eyes.

If you were weak, they would not care about who you were.

As for the background of the old man who asked the question, Hudson wasn’t clear.

Anyway, the way he addressed Earl Piers was—Little Piers.

Since the governor had so little prestige, Hudson didn’t think he would be respected if he honestly answered.

“Hmm!”

“This question is indeed a little presumptuous.

It’s just that all of us old guys know each other very well, and only your bear’s strength is unclear.

In the upcoming fight against the locusts, we will have to coordinate with each other.

Knowing a bit about each other’s strength is a pragmatic necessity.

It is said that once the Earth Bear matures, it will awaken its gravity field, which can affect a large part of the surrounding space.

The horror of the Locust Army lies in its numbers, its single-power strength being almost negligible.

Even the more advanced magical beast, the Insect King, is pitifully weak.

If your bear can exert a gravity field, or even slightly affect the spatial pressure, it would be of such significant importance in our battle against the locust plague.”

Master Yuri explained with a hearty smile.

He looked like a benevolent old neighbor.

If it weren’t for the fact that Hudson had seen this old fellow quarrel in the banquet, he might’ve believed him.

“I see.

Master Yuri can be at ease.

The order of the Earth Bear’s talent awakening has always been random.

Fortunately, Belsden is quite fond of gravity magic, so his talent in this area is quite good.”

Hudson explained casually.

You can indeed ask about a magic skill, but thinking about finding out whether the Earth Bear has matured or not is unnecessary.

Perhaps in other occasions, the Earth Bear might not be the match of these guys.

But Belsden is definitely worth ten of them when it comes to fighting small soldiers.

There is no other reason, except that he has great stamina.

The main reason for the Earth Bear being able to make a name for itself as the “Earth King”: As long as it touches the earth, it can continuously absorb energy from the earth to recharge.

The recharge speed is dozens of times faster than that when a mage holds up a demon crystal and draws power.

If the enemy is filled with undistinguished sources like locusts, Belsden can fight from morning till night without feeling the slightest fatigue.

By merely releasing some spells that consume slight energy, the replenishing speed of Belsden’s energy can totally keep up with the consumption.

This is absolutely incomparable for a human mage.

Let along casting spells continuously for a day, it could be considered a strongman if he can maintain it for three to four hours.

Obviously fighting in prolonged battles for several days, or even a few months, those are just legends.

As a normal human, we can’t compare to those legends.

The late Earl Piers ended the unpleasant conversation.

The expected combat deployment did not appear at this time.

Considering that the enemy was the unpredictable Locust Army, it seemed that it was not as good as making flexible adjustments at that time.

“Everything that should be said was already said at the banquet.

I asked you all to stay mainly to plan on dealing with the Insect King.

According to the collected intelligence, there may be more than one Insect King in this locust swarm, and even possibly produce the legendary Insect Emperor.

Even in the vast Locust Army, finding these targets and killing them is only possible for a few in the entire Southeastern Province.”
