The Legendary Mage novel Chapter 305

On the second day, Alavin, Eyla, and Carlys left the ancient city, along with the two female Protégées who had accompanied Carlys. They ventured into Cloudveil Woods, making their way back to Cobalt Strike.

Lucan was tied up with other matters and could only arrange for Grima and Godfred to accompany them.

"Cobalt Strike, eh? One of the Eight Orders of the Northlands. Never thought we'd have the chance to be guests there in our lifetimes," Godfred said, clapping a hand on Grima's shoulder as he strode through the forest.

"Get your hand off me," Grima snapped, shaking off Godfred’s arm. "Don't flatter yourself. We're here to protect Lord Alavin, not to be guests."

"Heh, just basking in Lord Alavin's glory." Godfred chuckled, holding his head high as he walked, in high spirits at the thought of boldly entering Cobalt Strike.

"Do we really have to bring her along?" Carlys grumbled, unhappy about Alavin bringing Eyla back with them.

"Little lady, mind your manners. I'm here as a guest," Eyla retorted, draped in a snow-white cloak that hugged her enchanting figure, which somehow made her even more alluring.

The two female Protégées glanced at Eyla from time to time. She was truly beautiful! Even as women themselves, they were dazzled. Eyla was not yet twenty, and her future was bound to be extraordinary.

"I might be in danger when I return, so having Lady Eyla there could mean less trouble," Alavin explained.

"You're now a Golden Protégé and a lord of the city, practically a half-Elder. What danger could you possibly be in?"

"It's always good to be cautious. I bet the Organization is buzzing now, eh? Roald brought back quite the haul from Atlantis, enough to turn many green with envy."

"Indeed, there's been a lot of talk about you and the championship lately, and now it's all about Atlantis. It seems Roald and his lot discovered a cave near Atlantis and got their hands on some treasures, bringing back sixty or seventy pieces."

"Hah, he snatched quite a bit. Did he turn them over to the Organization, or did he keep them for himself?"

"He distributed them to other Protégés."
