Chapter 607 Alcott is Back

?Arad stood in front of the priest with Mira and Merida at his sides. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

"With the power granted to me," The priest said with a smile, "I declare you wife and husband," He said, standing between Arad and Mira.

He then took a few short steps to the left, standing between Arad and Merida, repeating the same sentence.

BANG! Just as the priest finished, the church burst open, and two nuns rushed in, crying their eyes out. "His face is red!"

"What did I miss?" A large man panted, "Am I late?" Alcott stood there, his eyes scanning through the church.

Just a second later, his eyes stopped at Arad, "Did it end?"

Arad smiled, "Finished Aella's ceremony yesterday,"

"Damn it," Alcott growled.

"Hey, don't curse in the church," A priest stared at him.

"I was walking past the capital yesterday when I heard they are preparing for Princess Isdis's marriage. I instantly knew it had to be you, but they were told you're supposed to be in the elvish capital," Alcott tried to catch his breath, "I was about to run all the way from the capital to the elvish capital but decided to stop here to check, I'm glad I did that,"

"Wait?" Everyone stared at him, "You ran all the way from the capital to here? In one day?"

"Since my health is getting better. I'm slowly regaining my power and endurance." Alcott took a deep breath, "How do you think I catch dragons that run away?"

Arad shook his head, "Not by running after them,"

"We humans are persistent hunters. No matter how long our prey run, the moment they turn around. We're there after them." Alcott walked between the crowd and stood in the front, blocking the view, "I gotta apologize to Aella after this. I missed her wedding."

Alcott turned around, seeing Aella standing in the back. He waved his hand, "Let's talk later!"

Thud! Ginger landed at the door on her broom, "Alcott, you're too loud,"

Alcott stared back at her, "Really?"

Ginger looked toward Arad, "Sorry about him. He always used to be a ball of energy, but being sick in the last years tamed him a bit," She stared at Alcott with a smile, "Now that he's getting better, his energy is slowly returning,"

Arad looked at the priest, "Can we finish?"

"Of course,"

As the priest carried on with the ceremony, Alcott blinked, turning aside and looking at the crowd with a sharp glare. Everyone in that direction flinched as the dragon slayer gazes grew sharper.

Thud! Alcott took one step forward, pushing the men until he reached where the women gathered, staring at one of them in the face.

"I suspect she's a dragon," Alcott replied, "And I don't trust the ones that don't come clean,"

"You're over-exaggerating," Arad sighed, "Even if she is a dragon, I doubt she'll cause trouble."

"You might be right," Alcott stared back at him, "But that naive thinking lost me several cities that got burned to the ground, thousands over thousands of deaths." He glared at Vasilissa.

"All because I hesitated to gut a dragon I felt was a threat but looked innocent."

Vasilissa smiled at him, "Try me." She giggled inside. ^Probably I should try him again. He's going to be fun.^

"Come here!" Ginger pulled Alcott by the ear, dragging him away.

"Sorry for the trouble. I'll take this muscle brute back home to relax a bit."

Arad stared back standing beside Vasilissa, "Sorry for the trouble,"

"No, I don't mind," She smiled, "In fact, I like men like him."

"You have a child," He stared at her.

"Ah, I forget,"

At the day's end, Arad was resting in his house with the girls, getting ready to make their trip to the capital the next day when they heard loud knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" Tina called back.

"It's Alcott and Ginger," Arad said, sitting on the couch, "Can you open the door for them?"

"Already working on that," Tina opened the door, "Hey! How are you doing?"

"Sir Alcott, welcome. What brought you so late at night?" Tina replied.

"Ah, look," He pulled a small magic bag from his pocket, "I got gifts for Arad and his wives," He smiled, "Since I heard, I picked some things on my way here,"

"Please come in," She moved out of the way.

"Arad, how are you doing? Happy with your marriage?"

"Still didn't finish," Arad looked back at him.

Alcott walked in and sat facing Arad, "I brought some gifts for everyone," He put the magic bag on the table and turned around, "I brought gifts. Those who want some come here!"

Aella who was in the kitchen looked out at him, "You didn't need to," She walked out, wiping her hands dry.

Alcott pulled a bow from the bag, "Warking bow of magic, it channels the user's mana into elemental energy and enfuse it. With it, you can fire arrows of magic even if you ran out of arrows."
