Chapter 349 The One Above the Lords
It did not take long for Roley to realize that this setting was not coes he had just seen in the corridor, he would still have no clue about as going on However, a crazy idea had begun to form in a corner of his mind the corner where all of the 'what ifs' questions were kept
Instead of waiting for any of the ancient elementals to talk to him, Roley walked up to the small platform around which the seats of the elementals were positioned He then stood quietly in wait that somebody could explain to him why he was there
Silence resounded in the hall for a few moments, until finally, the ele, ”You live in a community Thousands are underneath you, but you live peacefully together One day, a stranger is found injured in your territory Your people rescues him, and after his recovery, he choses to stay for awhile He appears to be a likeable character what do you do?”
The rest of the elementals looked at Roley carefully, it was clear that his ansas of extreh information to answer that question, the possibilities are too le sentence” Responded Roley right away, already aware that his test was not over The information that Roley lacked ould these ancient individuals test hiht lie when answering questions for which it should be iet an answer, in case you were in that situation” The ele any emotion
”What did this individual claimed was the cause for his injuries after he woke up?” Asked Roley after spending a minute in a pensive state
The ancient elemental of fire essence stroke his chin with his thu about it for a few roup of bandits fro into your territory”
”I would ask him to leave my territory”
”Why is that?” Asked the fire eleive a final response so quickly
Without even stopping to think, Roley responded to the eleet streets that are guaranteed to be threaded byhis travels by bandits, he would have wanted to leave right after his recovery Be it if he is a traveler with a set destination, or if he is a rant him the burden to report the events”
The fire elemental was not impressed by this answer, but he could see that Roley had
The ancient ele, however, was not as kind He asked with his nasal voice, ”Is that the only reason why you wouldn't allow hiht be scared to travel alone, now that he is by himself? It seems that you make your decisions extremely rashly”
Roley was not surprised by this response, and instead of trying to defend his position, he added, ”The reason I asked hiht that reason be?” Asked the ancient fire elemental with renewed interest
Roley slowly turned to look at him, and said with an eroup of bandits to roain with Not when one of roup of the elemental was shocked by the presumption behind this answer, but just as he was about to debate Roley's logic, he was stopped by the ancient fire ele faintly, said, ”It's okay It's all I needed” This si ele unhappy with Roley's reasoning
”Very well, it isup, and sloalking in laps around Roley After a couple of laps, he said, ”To become a half elemental means that your poill increase ten folds when in your territory To be able to live as long as you are in your element, to be a true part of the universe, that is what our faction offers Do you understand that?”
”Probably not the way you understand it” Responded Roley without even turning to look back at the large rey robes which was now behind him
The metal elemental did not take offence to his informal response, and instead smiled, and said, ”That is quite accurate You cannot possibly understand what it feels like to be part of the universe, but it is a spectacular feeling I can give it to you I just need for you to bring me the heart of a hu me one, and I will make you one with the universal nature of ive you power”
”I refuse” Responded Roley without even thinking about it
”Do you understand what I a to you? A power that will turn you frorain of power to add to his own, to a God All I ask is for a piece of meat” Said the metal elemental while in an atte a half elemental of any of the elee” said Roley as the metal ele Roley's adamant response, the ancient metal elemental said, ”Very well, you have made your choice” He then turned to look at his chair, and walked towards it as if giving up on trying to break down this human's stubbornness
Just as the metal eleht blue clothes said ”If , all of us can offer you the same deal You only have to pick one of us”
”The reward is not theto look at the ancient water elemental that had just spoken to hirey clothes, which took back the control over the conversation from the water elemental
Roley slowly turned to look back at him, and with an expressionless face, he said, ”You seem to have the presumption to claim that I could not possibly understand what it feels like to be an elemental, and yet you assuain more power at the expense of an innocent person If I didn't know that this was a trick question, this conversation would have already been over”
