Chapter 228 Sleeping In Peace

The Grigard King said, "Your highness, we would love if you see our place."

"We have made a special place for you too.", he said.

Normally, when a guest arrives, they usually treat with care and give them a place to rest.

The grigard and others thought the same too but forgot the fact that other than them, no one else likes to live in dirty mud.

Of course, some others may, but Shin definitely doesn't like to do that.

Nevertheless, he thought that what the Grigard King said sounded interesting and thus nodded his head to take a look at what they had prepared.

The Grigard King then started to lead Shin who followed. The shadow wolves and Raka followed Shin and acted as if they were his bodyguards.

Yes, they had to protect him from dangers so it was necessary for them to follow him everywhere.

"Here your highness, this is what we prepared for you.", the Grigard showed the grand thing to Shin.

Shin was completely baffled when he looked at it.

'A…'

'A cave?'

Yes, the residents worked hard and built a den for Shin to live in whenever he came by, It was at a higher place and carved right into the sturdy rocks that were right in between the swamp.

The dirty mud water would definitely not reach that place. Also, Shin will be able to live up there while watching everyone's actions which was perfect for a king!

He was genuinely surprised and said, "This touched my heart…"

"Who came up with this idea?", Shin asked.

The Grigard King was hesitating a little to show the place to Shin.

However, when Shin said that he would be departing right after he arrived, the Grigard King felt a sudden distance which he didn't like.

Rather than being distanced, he would like to be scolded if anything was wrong with the den. He didn't want the hard work that the residents put to go into vain and thus, he mustered all his courage and showed the place to Shin.

"He was the one who came up with the idea.", the Grigard King called the young Frog who was covered in mud.

The frog just hopped once and was already near them. It was half the size of Shin.

'Well, I was surprised the moment I set foot here because I had never seen snakes and frogs live together…', Shin said to himself.

'But now, I am much more surprised by this amazing work.', he again looked at the den.

The outer walls had some carvings of wolves so Shin couldn't wait to see what was inside.

He then complimented the young frog, "Your idea was just splendid."

"Good job, keep on thinking amazing ideas.", Shin said with a smile.

"I am happy as long as you are happy, your highness.", the frog said.

Shin nodded his head after he heard the frog say that. He then looked at the Grigard King and asked, "I would like to rest for a while inside the den, is that fine?"

"Yes of course."

"Please follow me.", the Grigard King said.

It then led to the pathway that would ultimately lead to the den. It was a circular pathway that rotated around the large rock.

Shin walked and then finally reached the den.

He ended up being even more surprised when he arrived because the interior of the den was much more than what he could have asked.

In fact, it seemed nothing like what he had seen until now.

*gulp*

'Unbelievable…'

'Is everything here made up of Crystals?'

Everything was shining brightly. Yes, Shin and every one of them had arrived early in the morning when the sun had already risen.

Because of that, the shine due to the crystals wasn't seen. If it was dark, then the entire swamp would have been lit by the number of glowing crystals that were placed there.

In fact, the designs made were extremely praiseworthy.

The place for Shin to sit and a place for his lover and kids was also made separately.

After Shin saw all this, he was baffled yet again.

He just kept on praising how the work was made.

'If Grigard hadn't said that they were the ones that made this, I would have mistaken these works to be made by those dwarves.', Shin thought.

Initially, he thought that it might have been a little dirty, but now his doubts had been cleared.

'The place is quite cool…'

'It feels relaxing…', he thought.

,m Right after that, he said, "I will be resting for some time. This place feels perfect."

The grigard bowed its head and then walked out.

The shadow wolves guarded the interior whereas Raka guarded the entrance of the place as Shin slept on the rectangular slab like the bed that was made.

'Oh well, my purpose for coming here has been achieved.'

'I will rest a bit for now.'

He fell asleep soon as he got on top of the bed and placed his head on it.

In any case, he never had such a pleasant sleep. He was literally snoring which showed how much of a deep sleep he had.

Somewhere in the far east…

In the desert areas of Rekka, a man wearing brownish rag-tagged clothes kept walking despite the strong sandstorm.

It was as if he wasn't affected by it. His eyes were indeed closed, but he didn't seem scared. The closing of eyes was merely to protect them from the sand and nothing else.

The strong winds could not stop him. Well, he had been walking in the storm for an hour already.

Yes, this was the land of sandstorms where they would last for more than two to three hours. Regardless, the man didn't budge.

But after a while, the storm stopped and so did the man.

There were many vultures flying in the sky.

As he sat on the soil, a vulture came flying towards him.

Other than its eyes which were glowing with faint red light, the vulture was completely black!

It had some white paper wrapped around its leg – it was obvious that it was a message of some sort.

'Is this true?'

'Our God has been revived?', the man said while tearing up.
