The Author's POV
Chapter 347
347 Planting the seed of chaos[1]
[Inferno, Duergar council.]
Sitting in his seat, Orion, one of the duergar elders, looked around him and asked the rest of the elders present, "How is Karl doing?"
"He is currently working on disabling the third beacon."
Durara answered from her seat. She sounded very pleased with Karl's work.
"Do you have any idea when he will get it done? If we get one or two more beacons disabled, we should be able to completely destroy the barrier of the city."
"That…I'm not too sure myself. He's just got done with the second beacon, so I reckon it would be done within the week."
Durara replied with a tight frown on her face.
Because Karl requested for him to not be monitored or bothered while he was working, no one actually knew how far he was in the project.
Since he had proven himself by deactivating the first and second beacons, the elders had no qualms with the fact that they couldn't monitor him.
Furthermore, Karl's request wasn't strange. Many of the duergars present were engineers, and they all knew just how important keeping their blueprints and projects a secret was.
It was their life's work. No one would like it for their work to be seen by others.
All that mattered to them was that he deactivated the beacons.
Having already inspected his strength, they weren't worried about Karl running away as they had set up multiple guards way above his rank to monitor him.
"From what I heard, Karl said that the process of deactivation differs per beacon. That is why it is taking time for him to fully extract the memories from Jomnuk and process them in time."
"I see…looks like that bastard was a thorough one."
With both hands on the table, Orion mumbled to himself.
"…If he manages to get it done by the end of the week, we should start getting ready."
Turning to face one of the duergars standing on the other side of the hall, Orion decided to give out orders.
"Send a message to all members."
Orion stood up and clenched both of his fists.
"Within a week, when the barrier is finally breached, I want them to be ready to assault Henolur from the inside."
A colorless hue mixed with black threads of energy expanded from his body as his cold voice rang throughout the room.
"…It's time we finally got rid of those bastards."
Bang—
But just as his words faded, with a loud bang, a duergar rushed into the room.
Before the elders could say anything about the rude intrusion, the duergar shouted in wild panic.
"We've got an urgent report! The artifact testing facilities have been breached!"
"The artifact testing facilities?"
Orion's brow raised in surprise. He seemed relaxed despite hearing of an intruder in the artifact testing area.
"Who's the idiot trying to breach the artifact testing facilities?"
That place was like a prison. The moment it was breached, although no one could go in, no one could also go out.
To Orion, whoever was trying to breach the place seemed to be an idiot. Thus, he was completely relaxed.
It was also because of this that he started to glare at the duergar that had so rudely barged into the room.
"Why have you barged into this place to report such a small matter?"
His cold voice entered the ears of the duergar. The latter froze on the spot.
His pupils instantly dilated and a sense of death washed over his body as he fumbled on his words, struggling to form a sentence.
