Chapter 416
* * * *
Bartaš Castle, situated at the center of Lake Belkan.
-Why did you ask us to gather here?
-I’m not sure either.
-Oren, do you know anything?
-That’s what I’d like to know.
Before the castle gates, Kraken from Lake Belkan, as well as those inhabiting other nearby regions, had gathered to converse. An immense number of Kraken. Of course, Kraken weren’t the only ones here.
-Chief Yagul, it’s been a while. Hororok.
-Chieftain Holton! It’s been a while. Slurp slurp.
The Commanders, Captains, and ordinary squids were also lined up behind the Kraken, conversing.
-Bagram, you’d probably know why Mother asked us to gather here.
-That’s right. I heard the place Mother stayed the longest was your cave, Bagram.
The reason they gathered here was because their mother, Atakshya, the goddess of water and vitality, had summoned them.
-The reason Mother called us together…
Bagram, who had been crouching in the center, opened his mouth to answer the other Kraken’s questions.
-I don’t know the details myself.
Bagram didn’t know the exact reason for their gathering either. He just knew a little more than the other Kraken.
-I understand it’s to capture the human who killed our kin.
The reason they had gathered here was precisely to capture a certain human who had killed their kin.
-…!
-…!
The Kraken who heard Bagram’s words couldn’t utter a sound. They merely stared at Bagram with shocked expressions. Of course, the silence didn’t last long.
