Chapter 676 Wyvern Rock


    ??Over the next few days, there was a rumour that quickly spread across the entire capital.


    "Did you hear the rumours about Wyvern Rock?"


    "Wyvern Rock? What is that?"


    "You know how our kingdom was able to defeat the other kingdoms because of the sudden appearance of the wyverns? I''ve heard that this was because of something called Wyvern Rock."


    "Really? What does this Wyvern Rock do?"


    "I don''t really know since there are many rumours about it, but it seems like it''s some kind of special rock that allows the user to control the wyverns. I''ve heard that this was how the wyverns were tamed by Count…no, by Duke Zwein."


    "There''s actually such a magical thing? Then if we were to obtain this, wouldn''t we be able to do the same? Ha, ha, ha!"


    "In your dreams, ha, ha, ha! Do you think that you''re some kind of hero from a story that would be lucky enough to find something like this? People like us should just live normal lives."


    "You''re right about that, but you could at least let me dream."


    "I wouldn''t waste my time with that. Aren''t you still in the dog house after what happened at the bar the other night?"


    "Don''t remind me…I still have to think of a way to make it up to her…"


    Conversations like this were happening all over the capital as rumours about this Wyvern Stone spread.


    Then this came to a peak when rumours of Duke Zwein leaving the city on his wyvern came.


    No, it wasn''t a rumour since they had seen it happen.


    Wyverns leaving wasn''t something that could be hidden since wyverns were so big in the first ce. Even if he were to leave in the middle of the night, it would be impossible to hide it with how much noise a wyvern leaving the city made.


    So there were many people that had seen Duke Zwein leaving the capital on his wyvern.


    When this was confirmed, there were many people that started to move.


    They all sent people to watch the wyvern as it left the capital and try to follow it as best as they could.


    It was as best as they could since the wyvern was flying and they were following from the ground.


    This was a hard way to chase a wyvern no matter how one looked at it. It didn''t seem likely that they would be able to follow the wyvern and see where it was going.


    But to the surprise of the ones following Duke Zwein, they found that the wyvern was flying slowly.


    It went at a speed that they were able to follow quite easily.


    This raised the suspicions of the ones that were following Duke Zwein.


    They reported all of this back to the ones above them.


    After three days of traveling, they arrived at a mountain that Duke Zweinnded on.


    After Duke Zwein arrived, there were other wyverns that had alsonded on this mountain and even went into the same cave as Duke Zwein.


    When this was all reported back, there was a frenzy that was raised.


    After all, everyone had already heard the rumours about the Wyvern Stone.


    When all of these things came together, that was the first thing that they thought about.


    Once this was reported back, the people above the ones that were sent to follow Duke Zwein immediately started moving their people. Even if it was reported that Duke Zwein''s behaviour was strange, they didn''t care at all as they brought their people toe to this mountain.


    That included the princes that were desperate at this point.


    They had heard about the fourth prince and the wyverns that he had been given.


    They had also seen the reports of the fourth prince''s wyverns during the war.


    They knew that at this point, it seemed very likely that the fourth prince would be made the crown prince.


    At this point, they were desperate to do anything that would give them a fighting choice.


    That desperation made them irrational to the point where they even ignored the clear signs that were in front of them.


    Once they had all gathered at that mountain, the princes met with each other.


    There was some hostility that was shown between the princes at first, but it was quickly quelled by a person who stepped up.


    "Enough, this isn''t the time for this."


    It was the first prince who said this as he stepped up to stand in front of all of them.


    He swept his eyes across them before saying, "We don''t have the luxury to do something like this. You should all know what kind of situation we are in and how dangerous it is for us. We need to take care of Duke Zwein first and make him hand over the Wyvern Stone first. After that, we''ll discuss it among ourselves."


    The other princes hadplicated looks when they heard this, but they all slowly nodded in agreement to this.


    After all, they knew that the first prince was right.


    Right now, it wasn''t even guaranteed that they would be able to obtain the Wyvern Stone since wyverns weren''t weak in the first ce. That was why they had been able to put pressure on them and the other kingdoms.


    If they wanted to take the Wyvern Stone, there was no doubt that they would have to face the wyvern of Duke Zwein and the other wyverns that had arrived in this ce afterwards.


    So they didn''t have the time to be fighting amongst themselves.


    After a long silence, they agreed to work together and gathered their men to follow them into the cave.


    What they didn''t notice was that someone was watching them from a distance.


    As they watched over the princes, they suddenly pulled out something and said, "The targets are heading into the. Be prepared to kill them all."


    After they said this, they put that thing away and disappeared into the trees.
