Chapter 61: ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL CLAN MEMBERS PART 7
Shisui, Itachi and Kin are lead into a spacious looking tent, that is well furnished for something setup for temporary purpose. There are bright looking Crystal lights on all four sides of the tent, illuminating it and they took their seats on comfortable chairs offered to them.
5 minutes later, 4 people entered the tent. The man in the lead has physique, that can even put rakege A to shame. He is only wearing khaki pants while his upper body is draped with a cloak, covering his neck and a part of shoulders. He is clearly a veteran of many battles as evidenced by the number of scars on his chest, arms and lone, long scar running vertically on the left side of face. It's a miracle, that he still has his left eye intact. He has golden hair, with a necklace made of beasts teeth around his neck. The man introduced himself as Luke, the leader of this encampment.
Next is a beautiful looking woman, dressed in complete red and white clothes from top to bottom. Her eyes are orangey brown in colour, just like luke's. She too has wasit long golden hair, tied in waterfall braided style. Similar to Luke, she is also using jewellery made of animal bones. She introduced herself as Gia, daughter of Luke.
Third is man from werewolves race, dressed in brown leather armor, with ancient looking formations on it. He is easily as tall as Luke at 7.5 ft. He is carrying a giant sword of 5ft in height and a foot wide on his back. It clearly shows, that he is blessed with titanic strength and is the vanguard type fighter. He introduced himself as Wolfgang, friend to Luke and the commander of his soldiers.
Fourth is also a beautiful lady, yellow eyes with a vertical slit, shoulder length red hair in fishtail flower braided style. She is dressed in a sleeveless pink cultivator uniform. Life like tattoos can be seen running along her arms. She is holding a thick, spiralled ancient looking book in her right hand. She introduced herself as Lily, teacher of Gia and a formation specialist.
Shishi, Itachi and Kin also introduced themselves as cultivators, returning home to Greenwood city after a long time of secluded cultivation. This was Kin's idea, as it will give them a perfect cover for their ignorance of happenings in the human Empire. As the eldest of the group, Shisui brought up the main topic.
"Lord Luke, where are you all from? Why are you two looking similar to humans?"- Shisui
By 2, he was referring to Luke and Gia. They are clearly from Beastmen race, but no kind of beast traits can be seen on their body. Luke and the other 4 are clear surprised at Shisui questions, as it is a known information about Beastmen human appearance. They looked among themselves, as if asking ' did we come across, mentally deranged humans?'. Shisui and the others are really clueless towards this usual information.
"Looks like you people never knew or came in touch with Beastmen cultivators before. After reaching, Paragon level cultivation, we can change into human appearance, just like you guys. But we cant change our hair colour or our eye structure.
Few Beastmen will prefer to retain their original look after reaching Paragon level, just like my friend Wolfgang here.
We are from Beastmen Empire, heading towards the capital city Eden, to participate in the event held by the Empress."- Luke
Shisui and the others were surprised at knowing that all these 4 people are clearly paragon level cultivators. Even, the innocent looking, elder sister like Gia is also a paragon.
But Kin was clearly interested in this event, that he is hearing a lot for the past 2 weeks.
"So what is this event about? We were hearing a lot about it."- Kin
Again all 4 of them looked at those 3, as if questioning their sanity. But for their goal of reaching Greenwood city, they decided to be patient with them. It was Lilly, who answered them.
"Since ancient times, after the wars between humanoid races and monsters, the warriors of all races became impatient for lack of enough fighting. They can't go and attack monsters, for they feared the retaliation from the monsters, they also can't fight among themselves in order to maintain unity. So the Emperors and elders of all races decided to hold a competition among these races, which in turn became an event as time passed by.
There are 3 main goals behind these events. One, to discover hidden and promising cultivators among the humanoid races. Two, it is to flaunt the superiority of each race against others. Third, to calm the nerves of hot blooded youths from doing something stupid and instead they can train hard in anticipation of these events. The rewards from these events are enough to bring one fame and fortune.
The event was originally decided to be held at the capital city of each race, every 2 million years. All races will take turns in hosting these events. The nature of this event can be decided by the host. The prizes can also be varied depending on the ability of the hosting race. But this cycle was broken, when the human race was plunged into internal war after the death of Emperor Alexander 8th. From then, the human race was banned from hosting this event.
It was only after the Empress came to throne, that the event was again held in the Human lands. After the first 2 times, the rewards offered by Empress were so grand, that most of the cultivators ignored the events held in other Empires. Most of them instead preferred to train hard and participated only when it was held 3rd and the 4th time in this Empire. So all the Empeors came to an agreement and decided to host the event every time in Eden only. But this time, the event will be held every 10 million years, instead of the usual 2 million years. The prize money was also pooled together by all the Empires, making it the biggest and richest competition on this world."- Lilly
Kin and the others were clearly surprised by the nature of the events and a bit history of this world. This is the second time, they are hearing about the influence of the Empress. The first time being, when the mouse collected the info.
"Can you tell a bit about this Empress?"- Itachi
At this time it was the 4 beastmen turn, to be shocked. Who in this world, is still ignorant about the Empress? Even most of the babies know a thing or 2 about her.
"How long were you guys in secluded cultivation?"- Gia
"Hmm, we lost track of time, but we clearly didn't hear about any Empress, before we began our seclusion"- Shisui
Luke and the other could only sight at their answer. It means that, they are clearly over 130 million years in seclusion.
"If we keep talking about the Empress, it will not even finish in the next 2 years. But you can clearly find detailed information about her in any city library.
But first let me ask you guys, are you from Greenwood city?"- Luke
Shisui and the others are definitely not from Greenwood city, but because of the spirit mouse scouting, they are very clear, on where it is situated. So they all nodded at him in response.
"Excellent. It is our first time heading into this human lands and we are currently lost on our way to Greenwood city. Is it ok, if we follow you Guys? In this way, I will owe you all a favor and will definitely reward you well, after reaching our destination."- Luke
"Hmm Lord Luke, didn't your beastmen Empire participate in the past events held by the Human Empire?"- Kin
"Don't be rude to Lord Luke, Kin"- Itachi
"It's ok. Actually we only sent our representatives to participate in the previous events, because of the hostile relations between our 2 races. Now that we became allies, I decided to personally visit the human lands. But as explained earlier, we all are currently lost here"- Luke
"Lord Luke, we will definitely guide you to Greenwood city. We will move out, when you are ready"- Shisui
"Excellent. Wolfgang order the soldiers to lift the camp. We will be moving out in 2 hours"- Luke
Wolfgang immediately went out of the tent, to pass the order to his subordinates. While Shisui and the others also excused themselves and were about to leave the tent, when all hell broke loose.
Out of nowhere, Gia screamed at the top of her voice, pointing her fingers at the back of Shisui and others. Luke and the others didn't find anything strange at first, but only after noticing the warfan symbol on their backs, did they understood, why Gia screamed so loudly.
It was the symbol of the Royal family and only someone from the Royal family is allowed to carry that symbol on their backs. No one in their right minds would defy the Royal family by copying the symbol.
Numerous thoughts went over Luke's head, after noticing the symbol on their backs. He thought, that these 3 are crazy. But only after calming down, did he remember, that these 3 clearly don't know anything about the Empress or the event held by the races. No matter how long you were in seclusion, at least one must have a clear idea about these events. It only means, they are members of hidden aristocratic family. They also didn't give any family name during the introductions. Could they really be the members of the Uchiha clan?
Shisui and the others were also suddenly puzzled by the strange behaviour of Gia and others. Especially the piercing glares they are receiving from Luke and Lilly. They can clearly see confusion, doubt and weariness in their eyes.
"Excuse me, is everything ok with you all?"- Itachi
"Please forgive our rudeness, but can you give us your full names?"- Luke
Shisui and the others looked at each other, as they didn't expect this type of question at this moment. But as they didn't sense any malice from them, they decided to reintroduce themselves again.
"Shisui Uchiha"
*BOOM* just as Shisui said Uchiha, it like an explosion took place in all of their minds.
"Itachi Uchiha"
"Kin Uchiha"
Luke and the others were clearly scared now. As beastmen, they are good at identifying when someone is telling truth or not. They could clearly see all of them are speaking truth. But still, they cannot accept the facts without any proper confirmations. This time it was Lilly, who took the initiative.
"Shisui san, if you all are from Uchiha clan, you must have ocular powers right?"- Lilly
Empress Ichika may cover her face with a veil, but people are very clear with the only visible part on her face, her eyes. They are completely different from normal human eyes. Prince Zetsu, once revealed in an interview with Clark Moor, that these eyes are unique to members of Uchiha clan only. The pattern of the eyes will also depend on the strength of that individual.
Now it was Shisui and the others turn to be shocked. They are clearly new to this world. As far as they remembered, they never used their eye techniques here. Also they are meeting these people for the first time. So, how could they know about Uchiha clan's ocular powers? Unless they came across one or experienced it themselves. But it is absolutely impossible, unless they came across the only ascender of the Uchiha family Ichika Uchiha.

Author's Note: I really was in a flow to write a long chapter. When I remembered, that tomorrow is sunday and I had to release 2 chapters. So I selfishly in my laziness decided to end this chapter at exactly 2000 words. Sorry for the Cliff Kun. But I will make up for tomorrow's chapters.
