Chapter 257: "The Chosen One"

Deep in the mountain hollow, Jesse walked towards the interior step by step, gradually hearing the low growls of the man.

This slightly wild movement made him realize that the other person might not be mentally stable.

The man was tied to a strange tree in the depths of the valley. He kept struggling and gasping, as if he was not willing to be trapped here.

Getting closer to observe him, Jesse felt that this person was only slightly older than Jesse and might be Little Medeiros living in Lakeshire.

Black veins appeared on his pale skin, Jesse knew this was the torment of darkness inside him.

Originally, Jesse wanted to release him, but as he approached, the young man immediately stared back, his eyes like a hungry beast.

"Are you Mr. Medeiros?" Jesse asked.

The other person looked up and hesitantly said, "How did you know me… who are you?"

Jesse reached out his hand and said, "I am a mage from Wizard’s Sanctum, this is my badge, do you recognize it?"

"What use is a mage?" Medeiros strained his head forward, widened his eyes, and said, "Lakeshire is about to be destroyed… humans are about to be destroyed too, everyone is doomed, I don’t understand how humans, so fragile, can survive in this world. Dwarf, demon, warlock, undead! All the monsters and beasts want to kill us… there is only the path of ascension, only… follow my mentor… No, you can’t, you better run, mage!"

As Medeiros spoke, he muttered words in his mouth, but Jesse did not have any expectations for his mental state.

"Where is your father?"

"Hmph!" Medeiros roared, as if trying to scare Jesse away, then shouted, "Who gave you the courage to ask me such a question? I am the soon-to-be-promoted chosen one, and what are you?"

Soon-to-be-promoted chosen one? Does he want to become a Wyrmkin too?

If this person is wandering here or helping Wyrmkin in battle, Jesse might actually believe he is a follower of the black dragons.

But since he is being tortured while tied to a tree, it means the dragon race does not fully trust him yet. Maybe the magic earlier was meant to transform him into some kind of servant.

Jesse didn’t know how confused his mind had become, so he could only try to say, "Wyrmkin has disturbed your mind, Medeiros. Wake up, your father may be in danger. If you don’t tell me where he is, he might die. Can you understand what I’m saying now?"

"My father? My mind? No… How do I know you’re not part of an illusion?" he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Don’t come near me! Deceiver, villain! I won’t trust anyone, I won’t succumb to illusions again!" After saying that, Little Medeiros tightly closed his eyes, teeth chattering loudly.

Jesse, feeling helpless, looked around and said, "Molofeel, Charm him for me."

As he said that, he stepped aside, and Molofeel emerged from the shadows. Sensing something different, Medeiros opened his eyes and froze for a moment.

"You… You are so beautiful, lovely lady. Is this a dream? Are you here to save me?"

Molofeel said coldly, "It depends on how you behave, human."

"Am I going to die soon?" Medeiros began to cry. "Do I have to wait until the moment of death to have such a wonderful encounter?"

"That? It depends on your behavior," the succubus said with a light laugh while holding a short blade in her hand. "Tell me what I want to know, human, and then, I will consider how to remember our encounter this time."

The evil blade in the succubus’s hand emitted a faint purple light, even Jesse couldn’t help but look a few more times, while Medeiros trembled in fear, leaning against a tree stump.

"What do you want to know… lady?" He stared at the succubus, trembling all over.

Jesse said, "Ask him about what the Wyrmkin did just now."

"What did that Wyrmkin do to you?" Molofeel asked.

"Wyrmkin?" Medeiros said, "What is a Wyrmkin…?"

Jesse frowned and asked, "Who was torturing you just now? Then why did you shout?"

"Hallucination!" the young man shouted, "Hallucination, go away!"

Jesse gave him a stern look, but sighed and said to the succubus, "You go…"

Molofeel’s mouth twitched slightly and he asked, "Who was the mage that was torturing you just now?"

"Torturing me?" Little Medeiros said, "She wouldn’t torture me. She’s my mentor and friend. But I feel like I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with this woman."

This guy is really straightforward, but did Medeiros think that Wyrmkin was female? And human?

Wyrmkin does indeed have both males and females, with most females being mages. Only a few females can become warriors and female commanders because, although they are calmer, they are generally much smaller in size, similar to Naga.

"He has been mentally influenced by that Wyrmkin’s magic, master, his mind is unclear," imp whispered, "Will the master dispel his curse? Arcane mages all have the ability to dispel curses! You should know that too!"

"Shut up," Jesse glared at the imp and asked the succubus, "Is he still salvageable?"

"Maybe letting this human take a nap will help, the magic’s influence doesn’t seem too deep yet," Molofeel said.

Jesse said helplessly, "Let’s not let him sleep yet, ask him where his father is, ask him about the name Humbury Medeiros."

"I want to know where your father is," succubus said.

"My father… my father…"

"Humbury Medeiros, does that name trigger any memories for you?"

Hearing that name, Medeiros’s expression suddenly turned fierce.

"I have no father! He’s a demon, he wanted to take my beloved, he wanted to possess that beautiful lady, he wanted to kill me! He wanted to kill me in that cave, and my beloved… she even forgave me, she was so beautiful and kind, she just wanted to save humanity, to save them from the coming apocalypse, what’s wrong with that? I can’t feel her anymore, she’s gone from me…"

Medeiros started rambling madly, almost crying as he spoke.

Jesse looked towards the direction where he pointed the so-called cave, it seemed to be outside the mountain hollow above, nothing was visible here, they should go up and check.

"Let him take a nap," Jesse said.

Molofeel nodded, gently touched his forehead, and the young man immediately collapsed.

Jesse said, "You stay here and watch over him, Saenor. Don’t let any strange beasts mistake him for a midnight snack. Any that come close, you give them a warning. Molofeel and I will go search for the cave he mentioned, his father might still be inside. If you encounter trouble that you can’t handle on your own, don’t try to be brave, hide and call my name."

"Got it, master!"
