Chapter 751 Sentence Decided, Meeting Adjourned

Rodney felt a shiver run down his spine as he looked at their grinning faces. He knew then that the man's fate had been sealed.

Sealed by him.

But he couldn't bring himself to feel bad for him. Not after the trouble he caused here, under his roof, and the resulting trouble when they went to Themiscus.

Phoenix glanced at Alena and Castien but already knew what they thought. Their happy smiles spoke a great deal.You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★

"I believe he should die in the manner of his kingdom. But without the rights to his rank's mercies. What do you two think?" Phoenix asked, looking at Alena and Castien.

"I think it would repay his blood debt in full," Alena said, the smile on her face unabating.

Nodding, she glanced over at Castien.

"And you?"

"I second what Commander Alena said," Castien replied.

"Very well."

Rodney looked up at the monarchs, opening his mouth again.

"I would like to add something," he said, almost pleading.

Phoenix waved his hand at him, motioning him to speak.

"At any point during this time, the woman who was wronged is allowed to end the perpetrator's misery. This means Coral would have to witness the entire ordeal until she decides he's suffered enough. Are you sure we should do this?"

Phoenix's gaze wavered for a moment. This sounded a bit much.

Even if that pig violated Coral, would she want to watch him burn and scream out in agony for over two hours? Because that is the estimated time he would burn, by her knowledge of the events.

She could already see Coral shifting on her feet, the thought troubling her.

Phoenix sighed heavily.

"I don't want to do anything that requires brain power today. This meeting has already mentally exhausted me. Let's take a day off kingdom managing and do brainless farming."

Astaroth looked at her, feeling her fatigue, and chuckled.

"You're right. A day off wouldn't hurt us. Should we do this as a party? Or just the two of us?" he asked, grasping her hand.

"I don't want to deal with clingy party members or over-curious guild mates. How about we go alone? You and me, no one else, and patrol the borderlands to the east? I hear some powerful corrupted monsters spawn there, making it a perfect grinding spot for high levels."

Astaroth wondered where she got that information since he hadn't heard about it. But he wasn't against the idea.

"How powerful are we talking? Challenging powerful? Or potentially deadly powerful?" he asked, his excitement building.

Phoenix smiled at him.

"From the information I received, a party of eight players of level forty-five tried taking a group of three monsters on and got wiped. So I'd say challenging powerful, at best. But who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and find something that can get our hearts pumping. What do you say?"

Astaroth grinned widely.

"It's like you know me better than I do. Let's do this!" he exclaimed, pulling her toward the palace entrance.

It had been a while since a monster had given him a hard time, at least outside a dungeon. That excluded the mythical grade guardians of the forest in the Ash Elf territory.

Those he hadn't expected to have to fight, ever.

But he was always up for a challenge. After all, it was in adversity that people grew stronger.

The pair had to stop at the adventurers' guild in the outer city to have them pull back any quest that led into the eastern borderlands. They didn't want other players, or worse, Natives, to get caught in the aftermath if they ever needed to go all out.

Of course, doing this caused an uproar in the player base that roamed Bastion City, whether they be in Paragons or not.

But Astaroth and Phoenix wouldn't be responsible for them, now that they had the area basically cleared out of unwanted attention. It would be on them if players still wandered into their hunting grounds and died.

"Let's get this show on the road!" Astaroth excitedly said as they launched out of the city and over the outer walls.
