I may not be able to extend my thanks in person this time around. I have with my own words sentenced myself to being unable to leave the Keep at liberty.\" Neveah replied regretfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You made the right choice, giving the council an upper hand in this circumstance and still clarifying your standing.\" Lord Rodrick said with a nod of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will extend your gratitude on your behalf, till you are at liberty to seek her company again.\" Lord Rodrick reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah nodded gratefully, she stepped in, letting Lord Rodrick shut the doors to the balcony behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The council has decided I am to be assigned to keep a watch over your proceedings till you find what you seek. Lord Kirgan will also stand in at some other times.\" Lord Rodrick relayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologise. No one else but you and the King’s guard are allowed access here, I cannot call on any other assistance.\" Neveah said to Lord Rodrick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is no trouble. The temperature is one I am accustomed to.\" Lord Rodrick replied to Neveah with a shake of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I do not recall it ever being this bad...\" Neveah muttered in a low tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then shook her head slightly and walked over to the desk where she took a seat, now staring directly at the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked to be just any ordinary chest, and now that it had been out of the hidden archives for a good amount of time, the aura of dark magic all over it previously had been greatly depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it just seemed like a chest one could easily find anywhere. However, the strange lock mechanism it had was much different than any Neveah had ever seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah reached for the dial, grazing a finger over the unfamiliar words engraved on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is still locked. Lord Kirgan will arrive in a moment to open it, do you wish to attempt it yourself?\" Lord Rodrick asked Neveah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah shook her head slightly, but her finger still traced the lettering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a phrase written in ancient dragon tongue. It translates to ’musings of the Sky King.\" Kirgan explained as he walked into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah glanced up at him, raising a brow slightly. Kirgan walked over to the table, staring down at the box for a moment before he turned it around so it faced him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not know much about dragon mechanisms, but I am pretty sure a couple of wrong tries might seal it up for good. Do you know the code?\" Neveah asked Kirgan as he studied it silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not.\" Kirgan replied simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what? Invite someone from the academy of smiths?\" Neveah asked Kirgan curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirgan smiled slightly, he shook his head at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a moment, Neveah.\" Kirgan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah fell silent and just stared as Kirgan played with the dial for a moment, then he suddenly twisted it repeatedly in different directions, each turn making a ’click’ sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top of the chest popped open slightly at the last twist, and Kirgan stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you do not know the lock code? Or were you well acquainted with Asrig?\" Neveah asked doubtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not. And no, I was not privileged to have been familiar with Asrig. But I do know Jian.\" Kirgan replied to Neveah’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is not Jian’s property though.\" Neveah pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is not, but by knowing Jian... I know the one person who knew Asrig the best.\" Kirgan replied simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah nodded slowly, there was no arguing with that. Dragons had a unique bond with their kin that she would never be able to understand, and amongst the King’s guard, there was no comprehending it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah was about to speak but she was interrupted when Lord Rodrick broke into a coughing fit and he turned his face away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Rodrick, you do not look so well. Do you not think you might go down for a rest and warm up a bit? Kirgan is here with me and we all know I do not intend to go anywhere.\" Neveah pointed out\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am well. Do not be concerned with me.\" Lord Rodrick said with a shake of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah got up to her feet, she rounded the table and walked up to Lord Rodrick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pardon me.\" Neveah excused before she placed a palm against his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Rodrick’s eyes widened in shock, he stood in place and did not move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are already showing signs of a fever and if I am not mistaken, you have been for days already. Go down Lord Rodrick, do not come up to this level... while I am here, I will keep it tidy.\" Neveah said to Lord Rodrick in a tone that left no room for arguments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Rodrick passed a helpless look over to Kirgan but Kirgan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neveah is right. I will accompany her for today, you go down and see Everon.\" Kirgan advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Rodrick nodded reluctantly and he took his leave, leaving Neveah and Kirgan in Jian’s study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you choose this level of all places? You are also susceptible to this temperature.\" Kirgan pointed out as Neveah returned to her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because no one dares invade here... forgive me, but I no longer have absolute trust in the safety of this Keep... now that this has been opened, I must ensure I protect the contents within...\" Neveah murmured,\u003C\u002Fp>",1008,"2026-06-05T21:38:46.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","4fe460dbcd9b29be045d2023d2513dce518ebd0713a717157719c489ca24a492","omega-s-rebirth-chapter-663","omega-s-rebirth-chapter-661",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fomega-s-rebirth-cover.jpg"]
