Chapter 1264: Timing (1/2)

”She said that she would be able to forgive you three as long as we let her remain for a while on the Dark Thunder Island.”

Davis smiled as he turned his head to look at Mival Silverwind.

”The Dark Thunder Island...” Mival Silverwind narrowed his brows before he nodded his head, ”Works for me. It's... She's yours anyway. You decide what to do with her, but I prefer if you make her grudge dissolve.”

”That settles it...” Davis nodded as well, reaching a conclusion to this difficult situation.

Perhaps, he was more than selfish in not giving Eldia her rightful revenge, but he could only act as a mediator if he was allied with both parties. Now that that one problem was resolved, he couldn't help but turn to look at Nero Alstreim.

”You've been rather awfully silent for a while... Mhm?”

”Just be silent for a while.” Nero Alstreim rolled his eyes, ”You and your actions are rather too enigmatic for me to understand...”

”Ahaha...” Davis couldn't help but laugh towards his answer, but he could understand, considering that his cultivation in accordance to his age was way overpowered, way outside the realm of common sense, even for the people belonging to the hegemons of small Territories and mid-sized Territories as far as he knew. It also seemed like his cautiousness had already dropped by a wide degree.

After this short conversation, it became silent again before they all finally left the distorted space in a few hours.

The sea breeze struck Nero Alstreim's face causing him to take a deep breath as if it was his lifeline. His eyes widened as deep emotions became apparent on his face.

Davis stopped glancing at him before he looked towards Eldia. He waved his hand, and a condensed form of soul force touched Eldia's spherical body, but instead of harming her, it simply sank and stuck to her Will.

”Master, this is...?” Eldia couldn't help but release a doubtful echo while she didn't even resist.

”I have placed a simple soul mark on you that will let me know where you are. Interact with it if you need me for anything, or if you erase it, I'll take it as you defecting from me. Stay safe, okay?”

”I understand, Master...”

Davis watched her leave as he felt complex emotions towards her.

He uttered with care as his thought process was quite simple. Since she was his, it was his responsibility to take care of her. The fact that she wanted to remain for a while in her home alone told him that she had feelings, and he had already confirmed that every spirit, regardless of being an armament spirit or Wills, all had emotions within them.

Besides, he also knew that Wills was capable of deceit as he saw from the Poison-Attributed Spirit Attributed Sources that Evelynn had absorbed. Nevertheless, he believed that Eldia wasn't such a Will who would deceive him because Lightning Elementals basically had a proud character. It was unlikely that they would go against their own words, and he believed that she would return to him naturally once he went to pick her up.

That said, during half the journey, he had given her plenty of his lightning that was filled with Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Lightning to feed on, spending fifty percent of his soul sense to make sure that she remembered his taste. He felt that it would be good for their bond later on when they meet again.

Once Eldia left and gained a huge distance from them, becoming a dot in the skies, Davis uttered.

”Alright, let's go...”

Davis simply headed towards the direction where he sensed his Solitary Soul Avatar, and considering that Evelynn had his soul mark, she probably already knew that he was on his way, pretty excited, to say the least. He was also filled with expectation in his heart, feeling like he could no longer wait.

However, he glanced at the Silverwinds' before continuing the voyage.

Soon, they crossed many islands and even got out of the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago in a short hour with their terrific speed.

Nero Alstreim had his mouth slightly agape, looking at the sunlight that he did not see for centuries. His eyes couldn't help but tear up above the massive ocean, making him look like a person who was stranded but had been suddenly rescued by some people one day.

His emotions were rather high over the peak. However, Mival Silverwind frowned. As far as he could tell, the direction in which Davis was taking them was not towards the Alstreim Family.

Well, it was towards the Alstreim Family, but not towards the Grand Alstreim City. It was the direction towards their outskirts. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he finally decided to question.

”This isn't the way to the Grand Alstreim City as far as I can remember. Where are you taking us?”

”You finally realized?” Davis smiled as he shot them a smirk.

Mival Silverwind raised his brows, finding it amusing, ”Well then, where are you taking us then?”

”We're already there...”

Davis pointed his hand towards a deserted island that looked lush yet desolate, as if the high tide of the sea had toppled every tree and flora on it.

”Hmm?”

Mival Silverwind noticed that there were two figures on the empty plains of the island. A white-robed, blonde-haired man and a white-robed, white-haired woman looked as if they were waiting for them together. His eyes rapidly sharpened as he could see that they were none other than the Alstreim Family's Ancestor and the Falling Snow Sect's Ancestor.

He couldn't help but look at Davis, ”Your Ancestor, I can understand, but why is there the Falling Snow Sect's Ancestor. Aren't we supposed to be secret protectors?”

Nevertheless, he still didn't know how Davis had managed to contact them. He didn't see any signs of him taking out a messaging talisman to contact them.
