Kapitel 43: Valley of the Dead Visit

The giant Blue Force simply nodded to the message he received from Robert through the mind-link. Poking at Max to move and follow Robert out of the corridor, the three of them entered a silent bright place that resembled a parlor. The place made Max to assume Robert had a good taste of living in addition to neatness and his vengeful nature.

The silky material of the sitting room's floor was beautiful. It had a series of squares that were of two colors, dark and light brown, filling it and making it look like a big chess board. The roof was rocky and by Max's right was a helix stairway. Slightly squinting his eyes, the Vampire wondered where could the other rocky but wide stairway lead to at the far opposite end of the room.

Pointing at a one-man lonely chair, "Have a seat, dears." Robert told those following him before he strodded and sat in a green couch by the left.

Max didn't move standing, but the giant Blue Force went and sat on a small table beside the lonely chair.

Robert adjusted his black neck tie that matched his blue uniform. "Watch out giant, don't let your weight shatter the table." He looked to his right and spoke to Max, his voice casual:

"I have discussed some shits with Armless and it isn't surprising that we have come to a shitting agreement. You shouldn't wonder, you are involved in the agreement. You shouldn't wonder, I believe you have nothing to do with the System Based Weapons smugglers."

Putting a moody expression, "Keep talking." Max said. Uninterested.

"What a shitting arrogant slave. Anyway... I am not letting you go anytime soon." Robert smiled, and crossed his legs.

Like an arrogant brat, "Keep talking, and I shouldn't tell you that again." Max taunted Robert once more. He was finding it hard to not allow the urge to fight Robert to take charge of him, hence he could only speak less in order to keep his focus.

After chuckling, Robert explained: "As a shitting Gifted, I need your shit ability to see beyond what my type can do. You are going to the Valley of the Dead together with some few Blue Forces, I have told you your purpose there already." He stood up from the green couch before he turned to face Max.

"You trusted an agreement she would make wouldn't do you a disadvantage, is that why you are so shittng silent?" Robert wondered. "Your shit intuition is right. I have no shit business to do with a shit like you, only after you come back from the Valley of the Dead and have done your purpose accurately."

By the time Robert stood face to face with Max, he concluded: "But try running away and I wouldn't mind beheading your armless friend. Wear the blue uniform and do as I said."

★★★

Max had to wear the Blue Force uniform given to him by Robert. The bald Blue Force explained some more details regarding the mission, and that the uniform would come in handy in trespassing the Defence Forces...

By the time Max was in the uniform, every member of the unclear mission was in the beautiful parlor. Actually, the five individuals that made up the mission team were Max, the giant Blue Force, a Disguise Gifted Blue Force and two other more ordinary Blue Forces. The number of Gifteds was getting abnormal, to Max's notice.

It was always rare to come across even a single Gifted and now, there were three of them under Robert's control. Wasn't that too much power?

As all was set, the mission team had to say goodbye to Robert. They used the rocky but wide stairway of the parlor to leave the cave house and ascend deeply into the Left Shoulder's mountain. The Valley of the Dead was connected to the mountain from behind as Robert earlier explained. Max recklessly used Spider Vision, and yes, the Valley of the Dead was nowhere closeby. It was going to be a long, boring journey.

Through the vision, he analyzed that if he were to run away from the mission team, then he probably was stupid. The Veil of Realms leading to Anyway city was in the southeastern Circumstance of the Left Shoulder and their direction to the Valley of the Dead was northwest.

The Vampire was simply stuck in the palms of Robert in more than the ways he could count. And he never liked that fact because back on earth, he was always the boss; he was the king; he was the one in power; he was Maximus Everett, young heir of the Everett wealth.

Currently walking beside four Blue Forces with an obvious frown, Max was internally conflicted. This wasn't the reason why he came to Royalty Pack! He wasn't here to be involved in any of this and none of this mattered to him. If possible, they deserved to be turned into Vampire Slaves and to die over and over again as a punishment for inappropriately intervening in his life.

Clearing his mind from such a thought, he pondered over the mission at hand. His sole purpose was to use Spider Vision when he is told to do so. Goal of the mission was to visit the Valley of the Dead — a graveyard — the place Armless told Robert that today at midnight, Vampire Slaves would visit it. If Max should fail his simple role or even run away, then Armless was going to be killed.

Even though Max was not with Armless when she made "that agreement" with Robert, he knew not to trust the flow of it. He couldn't find the sense to trust her anymore.

At some point in time, the team began walking on a flat floor because they left the cave house entirely and had entered the dark mountain. They didn't carry lanterns with them since they could all clearly see in the dark and after all, they wanted to do this as stealthily as possible.

Talking of stealth, Robert was sending the mission team to the Valley of the Dead without the consent of the Pack Forces. It was something organized by himself and his co. Therefore in order to abide by stealth to the fullest, no one must use extraordinary speed or else the Defence Forces would warmly welcome them.

As they continued to walk in the mountain, Max was not interested in the boring conversation of the four. Instead, his mind got busier than always.

If memory didn't fail him, Armless watched with delay when his bare back was roasted on her eyes, implying her loyalty for Gold was more rigid than her desire to have her arms grown by the Wizard King. She was a flower with the heart of a jellyfish nature. Sometimes soft looking and flowing, other times electrifying and rigid.

So that made him think about why not killing the Blue Forces on the mission and later on killing Robert? This place was silent, and, aside from the Blood Fiends, Void Emotion was at his favor. But he refrained from going further with that thought. Robert must have thought about such a circumstance and definitely, he must have prepared for it. He must have prepared for everything!

And to kill was always the last option, keep aside the fact Max must struggle to kill even one of the Blue Forces.

If anything, he had to find a way that unveils what the agreement was all about, and then have himself and Armless free from Robert in a smart approach.

But if he should do as Robert told him to do, and if Robert might be a man of his words, then what was wrong with visiting the place called Valley of the Dead? He was only to use Spider Vision from a safe distance, and at the end, he would be free from the Blue Forces in a peaceful term.

All of this was as a result of a series of agreements, and that made Max to hate the word itself. He frowned deeply because finally, after hours of walking, they had arrived at the border of the Valley of the Dead and the mountain of the Left Shoulder. There were unfriendly Defence Forces guarding the place.
