Chapter 315: Information Scroll
Chapter 315: Information Scroll
"My name is Lee Shen and I am a tamer."
Lee was cautious about the presence of Darwin and Freya in the vicinity. They were the only ones who knew about his cultivation past and they were sure to raise the question if they had heard him.
But while skimming over the faces, Hudson caught the sight of King Aizel disappearing into the crowd with Darwin and Freya following him.
Only when D assured that the trio had gone beyond the visible range did Lee Shen spoke.
*mumbling voices*
The noise of murmuring was louder than ever as Lee Shen introduced himself as a tamer. People began to exclaim what kind of tamer Lee was to have a golden chance to make a colossal beast his bond.
His figure of a young man aged about 25-years-old sow seeds of disbelief among the folks. But those who were on board stepped forward and supported Lee Shen's claims.
"Your origin."
The Lieutenant's voice could be heard again and Lee Shen replied-
"Northern continent."
The commanding officer's brows knit as she had no memory of tamers from the Northern Continent. Moreover, such people are not known to wander around.
Lee Shen continued to descend the ramp at a slow pace. Zena followed him and the Draconic Wyverns moved forward. Pyro and Cryo joined Aero and they set foot on the port.
People quickly retreated after witnessing the beasts setting foot on the port. They dispersed in fear and gave way for the trio to stand straight.
The Lieutenant's assistant surveyed the trio with caution. Her eyes did not miss the triangular eye arrangement which surprised her. As an elf, she was more sensitive to flora and fauna energies and presence.
The Lieutenant, on the other hand, had her eyes on Zena. The Perrafin locked gaze with the beastfolk and they were absorbed in each other's eyes. Perhaps it was the feline qualities that caused them to stare at each other intensively.
Lee Shen was then asked to follow the commanding officer to the base after deeming harmless. The colossal trio followed Lee and the sight was awe-inspiring.

"State your reason for the arrival."
Inside the well-illuminated room, the Lieutenant sat on her chair with pride and authority. In front of her was a wooden table with a bunch of papers scattered on it. The elf stood next to her with a scroll in her hand.
Lee stood on the opposite side of the table and his arms were crossed in front of him. He had been annoyingly riddled by a bunch of questions over and over.
"I have already answered it."
Lee Shen did not exhibit any kind of expression after being bombarded with the same question for the 12th time. Though he initially felt irritating, Hudson asked him to leash his anger.
"Your explanation is unacceptable. I can tell that it is a well-fabricated story to cover up your true intentions.
So spill the truth or we will do this the hard way."
[Ah, for Utopia's sake, what the hell is wrong with this lady?]
D was disturbed by this stupid session. He evaluated that this woman is either a psycho or a complete newbie to the job.
Lee Shen did not reply to the Lieutenant's words and stared at her. The commanding officer's brows twitched and she gestured the elf to take initiative.
The female elf walked forward and asked Lee to extend his arm. He was puzzled by the development but D knew what was about to happen.
[The scroll in her hand is called an Information Scroll. It can consume a drop of blood and then display the person's memories.
But dont worry. I will block the memory access to all confidential information.]
As D had explained, the assistant pricked Lee's fingertip with something and blood started to ooze. It accumulated and dripped as one large drop and fell on the blank paper.
Like a sponge, the blood vanished into the scroll. Then several black and white lines began to form on the open scroll.
The elf quickly handed the scroll over to the Lieutenant and their eyes skimmed over the appearing sentences.
A minute later.
"You seem to be telling the truth."
Raising her head, the Lieutenant spoke with the frown still existing on her face. Lee Shen displayed his face devoid of any expression and a second later, he asked-
"If you are convinced, when can I leave?"
The elf took the scroll from the lieutenant's hands and she rolled it back and placed it in her spatial ring.
"You are free to go. But you will be held responsible if your familiar beasts injure anyone."
With a slight nod, Lee Shen escaped from the room. Walking out, he let out a sigh which made the guards stare at him cautiously.
The military base was a building surrounded by numerous tents and land. The soldiers stationed there are the defence force of this unnamed island.
This base also acted as a recruitment centre for rookie privates.
At the centre of the large ground lay three enormous beasts. Since Lee was taken inside, the trio of Draconic Wyverns could only wait for him outside.
Unlike them resting in the daylight, Zena was active and rounded them like a proud soldier. She was somehow feeling enthusiastic and felt unable to contain her vigour.
It was her who first detected Lee Shen's approaching presence. At once, she paced into the crowd which was curiously observing this unusual team.
The soldiers were surprised when Zena ran into them. The unarmed men and women scattered to the sides to reveal Lee Shen coming forward. Like a kitten, she came and rounded Lee while using her wings to run his torso.
Though the trio sensed him coming, they decided to lay down for a few more minutes.
"Come on, we are allowed to leave. Let's go."
Lee spoke and Aero raised his head reluctantly, followed by Cryo. As the one most annoyed by the journey, Pyro had an unquenchable urge to stay dormant but decided against it.
