Chapter 2678: Letters Of Justice
Sky Saber Headquarters
"Sky Lord," greeted Silus Bishop with a bow, "Silus," said the Grand Lord without looking from the documents he was reading.
"I did not like to intervene in the matters of organization, and you have been doing a fine job, much better than I would have done if I had been in your place," He said softly, still not looking at him, and Silus shuddered in his heart.
He knows the Grand enough to notice the 'but' in a sentence and also the disappointment.
"Do you know what these are, Silus?" asked Sky Lord as he finally looked at him and tapped on his desk, and tens of documents flew up.
It took Silus a moment to see what these letters were, and seeing them, pupils couldn't help but shrink. "Letters of justice," he said.
"Yes, letters of justice, sent by Micheal Zaar every month for more than three years," said the Sky Lord. "In the first month of the project, I have told you to deal with it, but it seemed like you have done nothing," added the Sky Lord.
"There are just letters Sky Lord, and we are a supreme; we did not have to bow to anyone," said Silus, and it is not just an excuse; he truly believes what he said.
"Yes, we are supreme, and we did not have to bow to anyone, but there are times when we have to make a compromise," said Sky Lord softly.
"I don't think we need to make any compromise to Zaar; he is no threat to us," said Silus, to which Sky Lord just nodded.
"Yes, even with all his influence and power, he is no threat to us, and because of him, our power is increasing, but it will change," said Sky Lord and looked directly into Silus's eyes, that seeing the look, he shuddered visibly.
"Do you really think he could become a Grand Lord, Sky Lord? No one had entered the realm of Grand Lord formally in three hundred years," he said.
In the three centuries, there have been a lot of High-Grandmasters, and many of them comprehended first energy becoming quasi-Grand Lords; few of them were so powerful that they were capable of exchanging few blows with Grand Lord, and two were equal to Vivian Solar, gaining the strength of Grand Lord through their art.
Still, despite all that, there have no one who had entered the Grand Lord class formally for three hundred years, and there is a reason for that; it is damn hard, impossibly hard.
"I do not think Silus, I know; this is an era where we will have the Grand Lords again, and it will be more than my era," he said, looking very serious. "So, I really hope you make the right decision; a wrong one will have great consequences," said the Sky Lord before he disappeared, while Silus remained in place thinking.

"The lunar frost is increasing fast, but these will stop it from affecting her further," I said while adjusting silvery metal bands around Grand Commander's body before activating the formations on them, which will work with the formation in her body.
Her condition had escalates faster than I had imagined; the lunar frost wants to consume her and to make things wors
e, it is growing in power.
It was a good thing; I had been keeping a keen eye on the condition of Grand Commander and crafted these bands before it was too late. These bands are connected to the formation inside her, and her body core releases the lunar frost; instead of spreading in her, it will move into these bands.
It was not easy to create these bands, but Chrystal Domination is filthy rich and has enough expertise to craft something like it after they got the blueprints.
"It would have been wondering if these resources had been compatible with her," said the old Lord of Glass, looking at three extremly precious resources piled up on the table. All of them are earth elemental and extremly rare, but they do not hold the needed compatibility.
I kind of pity Lady Vivian, who had gone to extremly dangerous ruin to acquire these resources, but they were not useful to her sister.
It is not they are trying; I am also trying hard, going as far as bringing out the nine-colored matter, which is level above the resource that she needs, but it too does not have compatibility with her. It would be great if it worked, just like it had worked on marina.
I had used it on marina, and it had worked much better than I had imagined it to be; not only had it wiped away all the friction, but merged all three seeds into the constitution at such seamlessness that now even I couldn't tell whether some fiddling had been done to her constitution, which has also advanced in level.
"We should keep trying; we have six months; I am sure we will find something compatible in time," I said; three of them gave me a smile that did not reach their eyes.
I talked to them for a few minutes before walking into the conference room. It was still morning, but I saw mary working with her loyal assistant standing behind her.
"These are the things for you to sort," she said and threw a storage ring at me before I even sat down on my seat. I caught the ring and sat down.
The ring contains the things we got through donations that our scholars couldn't sort. We are still getting the donations, and the amount we are receiving is also very good. To be honest, I had never thought we would continue receiving the donations at such an amount even after so much time.
It is all thanks to Mary and the donation campaign, which she has transformed into a juggernaut; there hadn't a single person that hadn't heard about the project by now.
It also helps that people now have far more resources in their hands than before due to the shift in war, which has been moving toward the runs; in just three months, half of the runes have already been turned into battlefields, where both sides fighting to the death to kill each other and take the resources.
We have also lost quite a lot of people, especially in the ruins which hadn't been fully explored or handnt explored at all.
The fatalities will increase even further as, till now, most people went to familiar ruins, but as their numbers shrink, both sides are now moving toward the unexplored runes, and most of the unexplored ruins are dangerous a
nd high level, a Grandmaster class and above.
The Grandmasters are precious, be it human or Grimms, would think hundred times before sending their Grandmasters into the dangerous ruins.
Now, more and more Grandmasters are being produced; they are sending them to these dangerous ruins before sending the low-level ones behind them.
The war in ruins is very different from the war on the mainland. Even when thousands of people are involved, it is always a game of cat and mouse in the runes and not direct battles, and unlike on the mainland, rescue is hard there.
So one has to fight as their lives depend on it, and it truly is.
