Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 387: Fiend Races Information

"Then why did something happen to the Elf King?" Alina asked in confusion.

Luke sighed. "Tremendous glory can beget tremendous disaster through a moment’s carelessness.

Normally, being favored by the Golden Crow Crown Prince and being chosen as the crown princess to become the Fiend Empress is something countless young ladies can only dream of.

However, that’s exactly what makes it strange. Our princess doesn’t want to become the crown princess, and Princess Natasha was similarly unwilling. She directly refused.

After being refused again and again, it wasn’t just the Golden Crow Crown Prince; even the Fiend Emperor could no longer stand it.

He even began to wonder whether these clans were disloyal, so he used the Elf race’s defeat against the humans as an excuse to imprison him.

However, those with discerning insight could all tell that it was completely normal for there to be losses in battle sometimes.

Someone of the Elf King’s status being imprisoned wouldn’t make sense, so it must be related to Princess Natasha. He likely used that as a pretext to make her give in."

Hearing this, Sharky started caring about her, that she experienced such a difficult situation after returning to the fiend races. She had to choose between a lifetime of happiness and her own father. How was she supposed to make a decision like that?

And since he feels that he knows her, it makes him more worried, but then thinking about his next moves, he decided to calm down for now.

Alina voiced her surprise. "Was it that time when the State Duke of Triumph commanded the army? When I was in the human world, I heard that the fiend races slaughtered everyone in a border city down to the last citizen, which was why the court was furious and sent him out."

Luke harrumphed. "The humans have always crafted treacherous schemes, always finding excuses to start things. To the best of my knowledge, either the slaughter you speak of never existed at all, or it wasn’t done by the fiend races. The humans just used that as an excuse to invade the fiend races."

Charlotte and Diana both frowned. They were clearly unhappy with his verbal attack on the humans. The grudge between the fiend races and the humans was no joke. Slandering each other was a common occurrence, so what he said might not necessarily be true. Only Sharky was startled. He had a suspicion, but he immediately discounted it. If it were true, that would be too horrifying.

Alina smiled, clearly not intending to argue about the subject. She asked, "Right, what is the current situation in the Fiend King Court like?"

Soni had collected some intelligence, but with her status, and the fact that she couldn’t go too far, she could only gather some surface-level information. The exact circumstances in the Fiend King Court were something only the officials who were in the area would know about.

Perhaps because of his business relations with Alina, or as a favor for Sharky, Luke didn’t hide anything and replied frankly, "You now know the situation of the three great kings. The major powers after them are the Golden Crow Crown Prince faction’s Imperial Uncle Dale Colebrook, as well as the Imperial Family Director Ellis, who’s part of the direct line of descent."

"Apart from the Colebrook father and son, there are some others you need to be a bit mindful of. The Left Guard General Badal is a powerful cultivator from the Horse race, and the Right Guard General Bunty is an expert from the Minotaur race..."

"Apart from that, there are a few Golden Crow royal family members. There is the Prosperous King Leander Darkmoor, Composed King Bastian Darkmoor, and Martial Guard General Nine Suns King Malcolm Darkmoor, who is both the commander of the Golden Crow Guards and an assistant to the crown prince. So, if you encounter any of them, it would be best to avoid them so they don’t cause you trouble for the crown prince’s sake."

The human race and fiend races had fought for a thousand years. Both had learned from each other’s merits, integrating aspects of the other side into their own systems. That was why their overall official structure shared similarities.

Sharky couldn’t help but roast them inwardly. These fiend race kings really name themselves willy-nilly!

Luke took a drink of water to ease his throat before continuing, "Apart from the crown prince’s faction, there’s the second prince’s faction. Even though the second prince was born of a concubine, his cultivation is profound, and he excels in battle. He has been praised as one of the fiend races’ Four Great Generals."

"Fiend races’ Four Great Generals?" Sharky repeated in surprise.

Luke nodded, he knew since Sharky was not from here, he knew nothing about here, he continued, "The fiend races’ Four Great Generals refer to the second prince, the Little Golden Peng King, the Scorpion King, and Flying Leopard King.

Not only are their cultivation ranks profound, they’re also good at commanding troops. They’ve earned outstanding contributions in the war against the human race in recent years.

The Scorpion King is currently fighting against the humans in the front lines, while the Flying Leopard King is overseeing the borders.

The second prince and Little Golden Peng King have remained in the capital. They each have a powerful army only loyal to them, which is why even if the second prince and the Golden Crow Crown Prince don’t get along, the crown prince can’t do much to him."

Charlotte asked with a frown, "Do these kings not have proper names?"

Luke gave her a look of doubt, but he still explained, "The fiend races are different from the human race. The more respected a fiend’s status is, the more often they’re referred to by their title instead of their real name, as a source of honor and glory. After all, if everyone acknowledges that you can bear the title, that means you have sufficient strength and backing."

Luke continued, "Furthermore, there’s another faction belonging to the second empress. The second prince is a Great General, and he’s also in charge of supervising the Fiend King Court’s officials, but unfortunately, he’s too young.

Even though the second empress is competent and skilled, many people feel that she reached her current position through her looks, so they haven’t truly acknowledged her.

Of course, there are also the Demon race, Dragon race, beast races, ocean races, and others who command extremely high status, but their authority is mainly concentrated in their local areas. They’re nothing more than passing travelers in the capital city..."

Alina said appreciatively, "Thank you for helping us with our confusion, Sir Luke. Otherwise, we really would be acting blindly here."

"The madam speaks too seriously. Our clans have always had a good relationship, let alone the fact that our relationship with young master Sharky plays a part now," Luke said with a smile.

"The Fiend King Court is experiencing troubled times, so having another friend is better than having another enemy."

Alina was surprised by Luke’s implications. Even the Peacock King race felt a strong sense of danger... It seemed the Fiend King Court really did have many things stirring in the shadows.

"Madam, why not stay in our Peacock Race’s residence for now?" Luke offered.

"There’s no need. The Snake race still has a meager dwelling in the king city," Alina said, refusing with a smile.

If they stayed in the Peacock race’s residence, others would likely assume she had completely defected to the Peacock Wise King’s side. That would affect their independence when interacting with the other races in the future.

"Then I’ll see you all off to that area. The Fiend King Court is still rather large and easy to get lost in if one doesn’t visit frequently," Luke said, not pressing the issue. He had clearly suspected that things would be like this.

"Then I’ll have to trouble Sir Luke," Alina said, bowing slightly.

After that, Soni provided an address and Luke guided their group over.

When they reached their destination, even though the area it was located in was bustling, the courtyard was fairly run-down.

It was filled with dried branches and leaves, as well as quite a bit of accumulated Natasha. There were only two old Snake race servants there, standing around lethargically.

"We’ve put on an embarrassing showing for Sir Luke," Alina said, feeling a bit embarrassed. After what happened to her mother, she had never returned to the Snake race.

That was why even though the Snake race had once been a great clan, it had been in disorder and decline since. She hadn’t expected their residence in Fiend King City to have become dilapidated to such an extent.

Not only were they losing face in front of the Peacock race, she had embarrassed herself in front of Charlotte and Diana too. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She wasn’t too worried about Sharky, because she knew that he didn’t care about such things, but she didn’t want to seem inferior in any way in front of the two women.

"Madam speaks too seriously. Now that the madam has returned, the Snake race will definitely become great once more. I’ll send over some people to clean this area up, as well as provide some daily living supplies," Luke said. He chatted with them for a while longer, then got up to excuse himself, not wishing to disturb them anymore.

---

After seeing Luke’s group out, Diana said with a sigh of amazement, "This Luke is a pretty smooth talker."

"He wouldn’t have been sent over to take charge of Cloudcenter Commandery’s affairs otherwise," Alina said.

Charlotte frowned and said, "Judging from how enthusiastic he looks, he must have been taken care of quite well by your Frost clan."

Alina knew that Charlotte’s sense of justice made her naturally reject interaction with the fiend races. She explained, "He rarely had dealings with the Frost clan before. It was mainly handled through the Sharky’s clan. After all, we were husband and wife, so he treated us with some friendliness."

When he saw the three women turn their attention to him, Sharky chuckled in embarrassment. He said, "Talia and I only met once... Moreover, I don’t remember when I met her..." He told them.

Afterall, he really didn’t remember when he had met her.

"In my opinion, the reason he’s so friendly might be that I beat up the Golden Crow Crown Prince. Peacock Wise King had no choice but to resign, so their race must have felt some resentment over that."

"That is indeed a possibility." The women nodded, accepting his explanation. After all, no matter how they thought about it, they didn’t think his charm was strong enough to make even the peacock princess lose her head over him.

After making up a random excuse, Sharky left to look around the area alone. Based on what Luke had said, he was really worried about Natasha’s situation.

The Elf Manor wasn’t too hard to find. Sharky had the gatekeeper contact Natasha and tell her that an old friend was here to visit her.

The gatekeeper didn’t trouble him, but instead said, "You really came at a bad time. Princess Natasha was invited into the palace early in the morning and hasn’t returned yet."

"She still hasn’t returned yet?" Sharky asked, looking at the horizon. The sunset was already nearing its end, and the sky was about to darken. Why hadn’t she returned yet?
