Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 241: Magnetic field
[Margaret’s POV]
The thoroughly satisfying sexual encounter I just had with Donald left us both a bit too excited.
The marks on Donald’s upper body were both ambiguous and obvious, and I didn’t want anyone else to see them, not even the physical therapists!
Although werewolves have strong natural healing abilities, it still takes some time. Before that, I need to do something to cover up, after all, my skin is quite thin, not as thick as a certain Lycan King’s, like city walls.
Donald didn’t care about the covert glances from everyone else. After glancing at the paper file passed by Anthony, he asked Benjamin in a calm voice, "How are the Lycans who were injured yesterday? We still have a 2-hour journey before the next rest stop where we can take a breather."
"Also, I’ve contacted the Minister of Palace Patrols, and he will bring his people to meet with us later. The healers of the Holy Medical Pavilion are also prepared to receive Elliot. We just need to make it there within the agreed time."
By the time Donald had finished this statement, he had also finished reading the document in his hand, and he raised his eyes to look at the few people standing in front of him, waiting for their response.
"Your Majesty, everyone sustained only minor injuries which have all been taken care of," Benjamin was the first to speak up and answer. "About the task you entrusted me with last night, I already have some theories, but to confirm them, we still need the support of some research data."
Regarding what Donald had instructed him to do last night, which Benjamin mentioned, I started feeling curious. Sitting next to Donald, I asked him in a low voice, "What was it? Why so secretive?"
After hearing my question, the expression on Donald’s face changed a bit, showing some annoyance and confusion, "Speaking of this, it’s time I had a good talk with Benjamin. Haven’t you been researching those potions for several days?"
"Now, tell me, this time Margaret, the assault team, and Guard Team’s Mind-link got blocked midway again. What exactly is the reason for this?"
"Or is it still because of those special potions? But this time, we did not encounter werewolves who used the powder, and apart from the animal attacks on the way, you didn’t run into any other suspicious individuals, did you?"
After listening to Donald’s queries, I clasped his hand, understanding that he was still fixated on the fact that we had lost contact once again.
Among closely-linked werewolves, the Mind-link should be the most stable and reliable way of communication, but ever since Donald and his group arrived at the Silver Moon Pack, this theory seemed to have been challenged many times.
Apart from the ’Mist’ drug occasionally used by the military, which has a similar effect, there are also special potions from MASTER and even peculiar environmental influences that could block our Mind-link.
It seems to be becoming a common phenomenon.
Everyone began to frown slowly, knowing this was abnormal.
"I previously hypothesized that the blocking of Mind-link was due to Your Majesty and the assault team entering the Misty Forest. The environment and terrain of that forest are very peculiar, and the magnetic field is also very different from the outside, so it seems possible to explain the disruption of Mind-link in this way," Benjamin said.
"I think perhaps that’s also one of the reasons why MASTER chose that place as their stronghold. He indeed is a very talented individual," Benjamin said, shaking his head, seemingly at a loss for words at the enemy’s overly commendable abilities.
After giving it some thought, I still found it strange. Glancing at Benjamin, I asked softly, "When they were in the Misty Forest, it could indeed be explained as you said, but what about after that?"
"After they left the forest, our Mind-link was still ineffective. Could it be that Starry Ravine is also like the Misty Forest, having some kind of magnetic field that affects our ability to contact each other?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
The situation was indeed incredibly bizarre, almost impossible to fully explain.
After hearing my doubts and analysis, Benjamin also fell into deep thought, and the RV quieted down once again.
"It seems this matter is complicated, and we won’t be able to clear it up in a short time. Let’s put it aside for now," Donald sighed lightly after half a minute of silence, summarizing in such a manner.
With that, he looked toward Anthony, who had been silent throughout, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, "You’ve been a great help to us this time. I will surely reward you generously when we return to the Palace. Think about what you want, and just tell me directly then."
Seemingly not expecting Donald to say that, a look of surprise appeared on Anthony’s face. He paused, then suddenly knelt on one knee, raised his fist to his heart, and said gravely, "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty. Anthony dares not claim a reward for his contribution."
