Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2819 The Taboo Of The Great Marshal

Theos turned around and left.

The moment Theos left, Erebus trained his gaze on the Guardian of Mount Kush and said, "Guardian of Mount Kush, this Soul Pinion Formation is made by you, so you must have a way to break it and get me out of here, right?"

The Guardian of Mount Kush nodded. "But of course."

Erebus was elated. "Well, hurry up and release me, then."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that," came the Guardian of Mount Kush's reply.

Erebus exclaimed, "What... do you mean by that? You said so yourself that you can save me... Are you worried that I'll leave you once I'm safe? If that's your concern, you can rest assured that I'm not someone who would betray my friends. I'm sure you know how my character is, given that we've been working together for quite some time."

The Guardian of Mount Kush sighed. "I'd like to save you too, but in order for me to do that, I'd need to go over to the nexus. Since I'm bound by Theos' spiritual energy cage, I can't move at all, so how can I help you?"

Erebus fell silent as a look of despair spread across his face.

So even you can't save me, huh? I'm doomed... Doomed!

Meanwhile, Zeke had led Legion back to Camp South.

Although he didn't manage to save Lacey this time, the trip wasn't a complete waste either.

He had made a crack in the parallel universe where Lacey was located and released Quinlan's spiritual consciousness.

Spiritual consciousness wasn't the same as ordinary consciousness. The average consciousness would dissipate after existing outside for a day, while spiritual consciousness was akin to a part of one's soul. In theory, as long as Quinlan was alive, his spiritual consciousness would always remain.

Of course, that was still just a theory. In reality, if Quinlan's spiritual consciousness didn't return to him, that strand of consciousness would probably be worn away in ten years or even less than that. Since Quinlan had been a resident on Theos Island for a long time, Zeke reckoned the old beggar must know how to acquire a fire seed.

He's my only hope. That being said, there is another way, and that's for Fortuna to change its mind and take the initiative to help us forge the divine weapon. But knowing Fortuna, I doubt it will change its mind that easily.

Upon arriving at his room, Zeke saw that Sole Wolf, Ares, and the others had been waiting for him.

They were worried that Zeke would get into trouble on his trip outside.

As such, when they caught sight of the man himself, they finally felt relieved. Getting to their feet, they greeted, "Great Marshal, you're back."

Zeke nodded and threw a divine weapon at Ares before saying, "Here, this Mid Dark Level divine weapon is for you."

Ares was beyond delighted and exclaimed, "Thank you, Great Marshal!"

And here I thought the Great Marshal was only joking when he said that he was giving me a divine weapon. After all, he had put his blood, sweat, and tears into making this weapon. I didn't expect him to just give it to me like this. What a generous and righteous man he is!

Sole Wolf and the others looked on with envy. However, since Zeke was present, they couldn't bring themselves to say anything about it.

"I need you all to stand guard at the door and wait for further instructions," Zeke ordered.

The gang replied in unison, "Understood!"

Zeke was planning to bring Sole Wolf and the others with him to the primeval forest to find Fortuna.

He was aware that heading in alone would be too risky and thought that with Sole Wolf and the others with him, they would at least be able to watch each other's backs.

After walking into his room, Zeke shut the door.

Meanwhile, Sole Wolf and the others' eyes were shining with jealousy as they stared at Ares. "Hey, Ares, aren't you going to treat us to a meal now that you're the first one in our group to get a divine weapon?" In response, Ares chuckled and quipped, "Sure. Just tell me what you'd like to eat and it'll be my treat.'

A look of resentment spread across his companions' faces before they sighed. "I wonder why did the Great Marshal give you the first divine weapon?"

"Yeah, if you ask me, I think I'm more suitable for this divine weapon than you."

"Could it be that you bribed the Great Marshal with something?"

Ares huffed, "Watch your mouth, guys. What do you mean I bribed the Great Marshal? If he hears you saying that, he'll definitely chop you into tiny pieces. I'm sure you all know that he hates to be associated with bribery, right?"

At that, the gang fell silent as they exchanged glances with unfathomable looks on their faces.

Ares' right. This is one of the Great Marshal's taboos.
