Chapter 1076 - An Invitation on The Day of Three Moons (2/2)
“Please inform His Majesty Dark Dragon that I accept his invitation. Alright then, let’s set the meeting to be two days later. I will head to the Darkness Capital on the day of three full moons.”
“…”
Upon hearing her reply, Erin was deeply startled even though she didn’t say anything in response. This so-called ‘day of three full moons’ was when the three moons entered the state of full moon at the same time. On this day, in the Country of Darkness, the strength and vigor of every being including the Dark Dragon would rise dramatically and the nation would be considered to be in an invincible state where even the twin dragons had to avoid them. However, Erin didn’t expect this seemingly-kind young lady to be so persistent. It was apparent that she understood why she was invited, so wouldn’t it be a problem for her to initiate heading to the Country of Darkness during this day?
“I got it, Your Majesty. Alright then, I’ll head back to report to His Majesty Ion now. The Country of Darkness will welcome your arrival on the day of three full moons.”
After calming her nerves, Erin nodded in response. Since this young lady had specially chosen to head to the Country of Darkness on that day, it proved that she was more than confident to deal with the Dark Dragon in his peak form. Since that was the case, it seemed like Ion’s plans were going to be fruitless this time around too. But to Erin, such small ‘failures’ were what she loved to see. This was why she didn’t say much and instead, bowed respectfully and turned around to leave.
“I didn’t expect this at all. Just like the saying goes, ‘to travel far and wide looking for something, only to find it easily’.”
Rhode spoke, drifting in midair leisurely and gazing at the shrinking back of Erin. Earlier on, he tried to come up with some reasons to send his younger sister to the Country of Darkness to ‘entertain’ the Dark Dragon. It would be ideal if she could enrage him into a stroke. But back then, he was only imagining it. After all, he didn’t have any reasons to wander around the Country of Darkness. But now, since Ion came knocking on his door, he didn’t mind accepting this feast.
“I’ll leave it to you to settle him. I have high hopes for you, okay?”
“Of course, Big Brother. Leave it to me.”
Upon hearing Rhode’s words, the young lady showed a warm, gentle smile and nodded.
“I know what the heir of the Dark Dragon is thinking. It seems like our Void Territory is being looked down upon. But this time, I will make the heir understand the rules.”
This is truly her mighty aura.
After hearing his younger sister’s words, Rhode sighed in his head. Just look at how she called Ion the ‘heir of the Dark Dragon’. She didn’t put him on the same level as her at all. He felt as though she was like the older generation look down at the high-spirited younger generation and lamenting, “Yes, not bad. No wonder that’s the heir of XXX.”
If the Dark Dragon were to hear how Rhode’s younger sister addressed him, would he rage and be driven to desperate actions? Rhode would be truly delighted. But…
“You have to be careful. After all, you’re not in perfect condition, so don’t push yourself too hard. Don’t go if you can’t take the stress, since it’s not like we can’t afford to lose that man.”
That’s right, just like what Rhode was worried about, his younger sister’s power was gradually declining. Even though they swapped places after the ‘contrast’ transformation, the change in power wasn’t too huge as only a partial of Rhode’s power was forcefully transferred to his younger sister. It was due to this reason that his younger sister possessed more powerful prestige than him. But as time passed, her power would slowly return to him and after this process was completed, Rhode would return to this world.
Although Rhode was sure that Ion wouldn’t resort to shameless tactics with his personality, he knew how annoyingly powerful the Country of Darkness would be on the day of three full moons. The thought of sending his slowly-weakening younger sister to a place full of ‘drug addicts’ didn’t feel safe to him. If she couldn’t handle it, he would rather her not go. Anyway, Rhode didn’t care much about his reputation. As long as there were practical benefits, he wouldn’t mind being looked down upon since there was nothing for him to lose.
“It’s fine, Big Brother.”
His younger sister shook her head and assured him.
“The Astral Telescope is a very important device. For safety, it will be better for me to check it out. Even though I don’t think the heir of the Dark Dragon will meddle with it, a long time has gone, after all, and no one knows if it is still in perfect condition. I have initially thought of looking for it myself and since I was invited, we shouldn’t miss this chance. Besides…”
Suddenly, the young lady revealed a cheeky smile, narrowed her eyes, and gazed slyly at Rhode.
“Have you forgotten, Big Brother? I told you that if you’re lucky, you may even bring back a holy sword spirit.”
“For some reason, I feel like it isn’t something great after seeing this expression of yours…”
Even though this was inspiring news from his younger sister, Rhode didn’t feel excited at all because he knew his younger sister was a peculiar person. Although she was clever and sensible most of the time, she was hard to deal with when it came to her teasing others. And now, even though this expression of hers seemed adorable, Rhode knew clearly that this was the first step of her watching a good show from the sideline. Anyway, it would be Rhode who would be summoning the holy sword spirit, so naturally he would be the one to get into trouble, wasn’t it?
“… What funny ideas do you have in your mind?”
“I don’t, Big Brother. The holy sword spirit is well-tempered, so I believe you two will get along well.”
For some unknown reason, Rhode felt like this sentence was full of danger.
But before he managed to learn the truth from his younger sister, the day of three full moons had arrived.
And he would be joining his younger sister in heading to the Darkness Capital to meet the Dark Dragon.
