Chapter 688: A Gift from Holy Rock City (Part 2)

The Grand Hall of Saleen's palace was not as majestic as Cloudflow's palace. It was, instead, similar to other Qin palaces in that there was a seat for everyone. By right, the group of envoys had been arranged to rest in one of the Halls first after such a long journey. Saleen had to meet with Bard first and the group of envoys could not possibly stay in the palace, hence a banquet was set up.

On the gigantic oval-shaped table, Saleen sat at the tip and his men were seated on his left while the envoys were seated on his right. Bard did not sit directly beside Saleen, instead, those seats were occupied by the two sorcerers. Stephanie did not seem to mind that Nicholas had seen through her identity. She just continued to remain quiet.

Saleen felt conflicted. What was the meaning of Holy Rock City sending two grade-8 sorcerers? If Nicholas was not by his side, were these two sorcerers planning to harm him?
