Chapter 823 - Moon Blade Guards (2/2)
Her Royal Highness Princess Gracier?
Rhode’s eyes glinted in curiosity and shifted subconsciously to the card in his hand. Even though he knew that Gracier and Madaras were extraordinary beings, he didn’t expect them to be this powerful. Royal White Elves… They were legendary beings created by the Creation Gods and the ones closest to the Creation Gods. Rumors had it that every royal member possessed strength in the Peak Legendary Stage and reached the levels of the Creation God after becoming an adult. If it weren’t for the problematic reproduction of Elves and for the fact that the White Elves took the hardest hit during the Creation War, who knew who would be ruling the entire Dragon Soul Continent now.
Of course, Rhode predicted that this army of Bow Knights would definitely attract someone’s attention. However, he wasn’t too concerned because compared to the trouble of summoning a Battle Angel Army, the problems with an Elf emissary like Corina were less critical. Moreover, the Land of Atonement was miles away from the Country of Law, so they could do nothing about him even if he formed a team of Moon Elves as Bow Knights. Besides, since the Queen Elf had already recognized Gracier and Madaras, she shouldn’t be too mindful of the Moon Elves as Bow Knights.
No matter what, it was still better than producing a bunch of demons and angels out of nothing.
“She is…”
At this moment, Celestina approached them. Nightingale gazed at her and paused blankly. Then, she lowered her head and gave a bow hurriedly.
“Apologies for my rudeness, Your Highness Celestina. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“You two know each other?”
This piqued Rhode’s curiosity. Nightingale raised her head and nodded lightly.
“Yes, Sir Overlord, Her Highness Celestina and Her Royal Highness Princess Gracier have once…”
“Cough!”
Celestina interrupted with a harsh cough. Then, she stared at Nightingale with widened eyes and let out a snort. She turned to Rhode. “Alright, Master, since the troublesome matters are done, I’ll be heading back to rest now. This ridiculous place is freezing. How annoying!”
Celestina stomped her foot on the ground before transforming back into the card in the puff of black smoke.
Rhode wasn’t surprised by her behavior. But, what annoyed him was that whenever he mentioned the relationship between Celestina and Gracier, she would always say that they were once close friends. On the other hand, Nightingale had also sealed her lips on how a demon lady like Celestina met the royal White Elves and even became friends.
Without a choice, Rhode switched the topic and talked about the heroic spirits with Nightingale. Then, he learned from her that they were the same as the elemental creatures. He could lead Nightingale and the Bow Knights to any place and their strength wouldn’t be weakened from being too far away from the Astral Temple. However, as heroic spirits, they needed to replenish spiritual powers in order to maintain their physical form, which would require Lesa’s help. In other words, at the end of every battle, Lesa had to extract spiritual powers from the surroundings to restore their strength. If the heroic spirits depleted too much spiritual powers, they would disappear entirely.
But, there weren’t any problems for them to restore spiritual powers in the Astral Temple due to the magic spring that Rhode had built in his territory, where they could extract spiritual powers directly from the magic spring. Of course, if the situation was dire, he could also replenish their spiritual powers. But Nightingale didn’t mention how he could accomplish that.
What left Rhode in disappointment was that even though Nightingale mentioned he could train others into becoming Bow Knights after building the Astral Temple, she also said that only Moon Elves were qualified to be Bow Knights. This instantly shattered his plans to mass produce them. How could he even find a bunch of Moon Elves to be trained into Bow Knights? Perhaps even the Elf Forest had less than a hundred of them…
Rhode’s head started hurting…
