483 Deal 1 (2/2)
”Hannet better not be in my sight from now on.” Phiroth said, directly and without hesitation. He immediately turned his head and looked at the young man in the white shirt, and started to converse with Scylla.
Garen had doubts regarding this decision and pondered.
The previous generation Thunder God, Hannet Thunderstorm, impersonated as a guard to get close to the Ancestral God Tree -- Ancestral God’s Pillar. It was obvious that he had motives towards the Ancestral God’s Pillar.
While Garen didn’t know what Hannet’s intention was, it obviously had made Phiroth unsatisfied. This statement was obviously a warning towards Hannet.
”This is the Ancestral God’s Seed for the both of you.” Phiroth turned his head around again and talked to Garen. ”We’ve taken it out just last night and it’s very fresh. I have already sent my men to pass the seed to Wukang, rest assured.”
Garen was speechless.
Garen took the pile of green defecation with him and bid goodbye to Phiroth together with Scylla before they left the branch.
Both of them walked down the road slowly. It took them about ten minutes or so to travel from the top to the tree to the ground, which was a good window for them to interact with each other.
Although Scylla looked very outgoing on the outside, he was actually a very mysterious person. It was impossible to know what was going on inside his head. As Garen’s personality was similar to his, both of them could understand each other better and were able to converse freely.
”Do you know why His Majesty Phiroth has such an attitude towards Hannet? While he’s the Thunder God of the last generation, he’s only a mere form two totem user. The strength deficit between His Majesty Phiroth and Hannet is far too great. But.. why did he have to say such a phrase at the end?” Garen decided to pour out his curiosity as he talked to him.
Since both of them had such similarities and were getting along with each other, Scylla chose not to hide anything from him, and told him the reason after some consideration.
”Perhaps Palace Master hasn’t heard of it yet. When the Cthulhu King and His Majesty were fighting against each other, they also talked as well. It was about that guy Hannet.”
”Oh?”
Scylla started to frown.
”During that time, Cthulhu King pointed out that hannet’s motive is the Ancestral God’s Pillar, as he is qualified to absorb its strength. He has the legendary Winged God Arms. Although the strength of the Ancestral God’s Pillar has always been under the control of Daniela Royal Household, His Majesty wasn’t sure if it would affect the current Ancestral God Pillar if the Hannet were to inherit it.”
”Is that so?” Garen sort of understood the situation.
He had managed to find an explanation to this issue. Garen then asked about the giant stone statue’s incident related to the Ender Kingdom. The angel giant stone statue appeared among the nests of creatures during the attack of Kovitan. Kovitan wasn’t the only one investigating this issue; even the Ender Kingdom was having a hard time about it in the dark.
As he raised this incident, Scylla’s face was filled with rage. He wasn’t sure who had stolen the key to controlling the angel statue. This weapon of warfare was usually stationary, and would only be used once every few centuries. However, this had given others an opportunity to steal it. The people who were responsible for the loss of the key hadn’t report the actual incident to the upper management in fear of getting punished. Instead, they reported that the key had been broken and used some technique in forging a new key.
When they realized something was wrong, the angel statue was already on the move, causing havoc.
Ender Kingdom had dealt with everyone responsible for the incident.
As both of them were talking along the way down, A group of female guards were on their way up, flanking and holding a girl.
The girl had an hourglass body and was in a purple cloak. Her black hair was waist-long and her skin was white as snow. A purple veil hid her face and a pair of, deep, unfocused purple eyes.
This girl was being held by the female guards, as if they were scared that she might slip and fall.
”It’s princess Dilan.” Scylla walked to the side as he pulled Garen, who hadn’t reacted.
The female guards who were walking towards them bowed to both of them, before they continued carrying the purple clothed girl up.
The woman acted as if Garen and Scylla weren’t there, instead leaning towards one of the guards, exchanging hushed whispers.
Garen frowned. He waited until the group was far away before he asked softly.
”Princess Dilan? The princess doesn’t seem to know proper manners, no?”
”Don’t misunderstand.” Scylla shook his head. ”Rumor has it that Princess Dilan is the favorite princess of His Majesty Phiroth. Her beauty is unparalleled and she has an amazing body. Her voice is as touching as hundreds of birds. However, she has a major flaw.”
”Flaw?”
”Yes. and it is an uncurable one as well.” Scylla nodded in confidence. ”She was born retarded and blind.”
”Are you sure?” Garen recalled the purple shirted woman. She indeed seemed like she was blind, but retarded...
”This is the truth. Princess Dilan has the intellect of a typical three-year-old. She also has serious memory loss. This is an open secret everyone in the Royal Household of Daniela knows.” Scylla shrugged. ”She’s just like a piece of white paper. She knows nothing and can’t even recognize her own daughter and treats her as a stranger. She can immediately forget the things that happened a few minutes ago. What’s most surprising is that the only person she can remember is His Majesty Phiroth.”
Garen then understood that there’s no point in being offended by her manners when she’s naturally born with this sickness.
When both of them left the Ancestral God Pillar, they sat on the flying bubble to the second Ancestral God Tree. There were already people waiting for him to the other side. Two women in white attire clapped their hands and greeted them with a peaceful expression.
”Lord Scylla has returned. Lord Sith and the others are waiting for you.”
”Lead the way.” Scylla said coldly.
