Inhuman Warlock Chapter 543 - 543: Species

Chapter 543 - 543: Species

"This is our home!"

Hun stopped in front of a beautiful mansion that stood tall before them. The Mansion covered a vast area.

Looking at the beautiful mansion, it was easy to a.s.sume that it was capable of accomodating hundreds of people like him. It was surprising to know that only seven people lived there.

"This is your home? Where you and your family live?" Jenilia asked.

"That's right. I, my family, and twenty of our servants. And from today, you'll be living here as well," Hun answered as he brushed his finger against his snow-white hair that came to his shoulders.

"Please come inside. By the way, you must stay silent. Let me talk to my father. And please don't do anything stupid even if he is a bit harsh when talking about you," he added, smiling wryly. He pushed his door open and stepped inside.

Hun entered the house, followed by Lucifer and the others.

The mansion was just as big from inside as it looked from outside. The main hall was huge. There looked to be a few hallways that had entrances on other ends of the hall.

A set of spiraling stairs was going to the first floor from the middle of the hall. The entire floor had a beautiful white marble flooring which was the same as the stairs. The walls were also snow-white on the inside, similar to the outside.

Everything inside looked white, probably because Hun's family was a family of Snow Wolves that liked snow, and white reminded them of that?

Lucifer didn't know what it was, but the place was also much colder from the inside. The temperature seemed to be in the negatives here. Jenilia had already started rubbing her shoulders as she was dressed in light clothes that weren't made for winter. She was beginning to feel cold.

It was the same case for Salazar, who was also feeling cold, but he controlled himself. Lucifer was the only person who wasn't cold.

"Are you feeling cold?" Lucifer asked, noticing the condition of Jenilia and Salazar.

Jenilia nodded her head.

Hun also noticed her condition after Lucifer's question.

"Ah, I forgot. There are some beasts that can't bear the cold. Your friend must be one of those. I'll arrange for some warm clothes for her."

"That would be great. Thank you."

"Young Master Hun, welcome back."

A young maid came out of a room to notice Hun.

"Ah, yeah. Where is father? Also, why does this place look so empty?"

"He should be in his study room. As for Madam and the others, they went out for a bit. So only your father and we are here," the maid answered. She kept glancing at the people that were with Hun. "Young Master, they...?"

"Yeah, they will be our guests for a little while. I'm going to take them to introduce them to my father. But before that, can you arrange some warm clothes for the lady? She isn't accustomed to the cold."

The maid was surprised to know that these people were staying here since they were High Beasts, according to her, and High Beasts of different species rarely got along.

That was especially the case for Hun, who never liked being close to another High Beast. It was rare to find him talking about letting others stay here.

"Young lady, would you come with me? I'll take you to the clothes. You can see what fits you?" The maid asked Jenilia.

Jenilia glanced towards Lucifer.

Lucifer nodded his head.

"Can you arrange warm clothes for Salazar too? He doesn't fit with cold either. Only I can be fine here without warm clothes," he told the maid.

"Do as he said," Hun nodded, smiling.

"Alright. You can come too." The maid left, being followed by Salazar and Jenilia.

"Shall we meet your father?" Lucifer asked Hun.

"Ah, right. By the way, it looks like you are the leader of this small group of yours? The other two seem to listen to you? Even though you look younger."

"I suppose you can say that. It's partly because I'm slightly stronger than them and more importantly because we are friends, so they don't mind listening to me," Lucifer replied.

"Friends, huh. I wonder what it must feel like to be friends with another High Beast. That looks impossible for me."

Lucifer smiled. He placed his hand on the shoulder of Hun.

"Hey, you're helping us here. It doesn't matter if you succeed or not. You're already a friend to us. So you can't say that anymore. Even if your father doesn't let us stay here, we'll happily leave. Just the thought that you decided to help us is enough to make you our friend."

"So w-we are friends?" Hun asked, his lips opening slightly.

It was the first time someone had called him a friend. He was a High Beast, so he couldn't be friends with a lower beast.

However, he spent time with ladies, living a lecherous life just because he wanted close company, but they couldn't be his friends since he knew they were with him because of his position.

The only friends.h.i.+p that could be real was something between the equals for him, and that was something he never received. All the High Beasts had enmity between each other. Moreover, he couldn't bear the presence of other High Beasts, so he was always alone, without friends.

It was the first time he had someone call him a friend... Someone who was an equal! Someone who could understand what it feels like to be at the top! Someone who wouldn't be with him for his position.

Lucifer's position in his heart had risen even more. Firstly, he sided with him before other High Beasts, and now he called him a friend. Soon, a bright smile formed on Hun's face.

"That's right. We are friends now. I won't say that again." He nodded. "Now come, let me introduce you to my father."

He walked to the stairs, elated. Lucifer followed behind him.

"Oh, that reminds me. You are also a Snow Beast? You don't feel cold, unlike the others. You must be someone related to Ice as well, right? Which species is yours?" Hun asked. "My father will ask that too. It's better if I know when telling him."

Lucifer took a deep breath as this guy asked the same question again. It looked like there was no avoiding it this time. He really needs to make something up

He tried to think of mythical beasts in their lore that he could have heard before.. He couldn't remember about any such beast in the academy, but he remembered one name which was told to him by his mother in a story.
