Chapter 122: Endings and Beginnings
“Let’s go,” Tyr sighed quietly as people dispersed. He called out to Arena and then met with the trio of Butterfly of Sunflowers, who ran over, and finally, the Dragon Slayer, who awaited him with a smile.
Tyr also smiled, watching the stars emerge as the daylight faded. Perhaps going with the flow wasn’t as unbearable as he had imagined. Since he lived in this world, he should enjoy it to the fullest instead of ignoring everything around him just to achieve his goals.
“The fall of a god… It seems something significant has occurred,” the Dragon Slayer said calmly. But what did it have to do with them? It was just another headache for the tall folks to deal with.
””123.” A clear voice sounded behind Tyr, and when he turned around to see the newcomer clearly, his expression couldn’t help but change slightly.”Mr. Diaz, is there something you need?”
Diaz remained calm, although several mercenaries beside Tyr looked at him with hostility, but he still spoke calmly.
“I’m willing to offer a price to buy Arena. Do you agree to this now?”
“That’s it,” Diaz smiled, not looking crestfallen from the rejection but rather relieved.
“Mr. 123, I can see that this comes from the bottom of your heart. In that case, I am relieved.”
“Relieved?” Tyr and Arena exchanged a glance, both wearing expressions of confusion and puzzlement. Diaz shook his head and replied with a smile, “Because I like this kind of Wind Spirit.”
“Like? So you want to buy her?” Tyr furrowed his brow slightly, while the others also looked puzzled.
“Huh? Huh huh huh huh huh!” Arena’s reaction was slower than everyone else’s, and then she uttered an incredulous sound. Diaz chuckled at her expression even more, saying.
“Her earnestness, beauty, and the flash of intelligence when she speaks, all fascinate me. Although our races are different, I believe that’s a minor detail. However, your behavior really rubbed me the wrong way. But now, seeing you like this, I’m reassured. If you had agreed to sell her just now, I wouldn’t have hesitated to kill you.”
“Well, I really have to thank you for making me see the light.” Tyr chuckled bitterly. Diaz looked up at the stars, remaining silent for a while before saying.
“Perhaps you’re the true genius of the northern empire.”
If others were to hear Diaz, who has never admitted defeat and even dared to boast about defeating Claude, saying such words, it would probably cause quite a stir in the news.
Tyr remained calm, remembering the terrifying sensation that enveloped him when Simira had her power over him. He shook his head and said.
“What good is genius? If one doesn’t mature, they’re just weaklings waiting to fulfill expectations.”
“Weaklings waiting to fulfill expectations?” Diaz was momentarily surprised, then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, exactly! You’re absolutely right. Even if I were to claim that title now, what use would it serve? Even if I were the top genius in the entire empire or the entire Noah’s World, so what? As you said, it would only mean being a weakling waiting to fulfill expectations. Those who are disgusted by it could crush me with a flick of their pinky finger. In the end, it’s the strong ones who truly dominate this world…”
“Can you tell me your name?”
“Kaming.”
“Kaming, then… Until we meet again at the Duke’s banquet.”
“Mm.”
Watching Diaz gradually leave, Tyr breathed a sigh of relief to himself. To be honest, if he were to fight Diaz again, there probably wouldn’t be a shred of possibility for him to win. In fact, he was completely puzzled about how he managed to break through Diaz’s barrier shield in the end.
It was only Dragon Slayer who spoke up at this moment.
Haven’t you noticed, the barrier seems to have no effect on you? Whether it was the teleportation array in the fortress last time or the barrier shield this time, perhaps we could conduct an experiment…”
“What experiment?” Tyr asked subconsciously, but Dragon Slayer smiled without speaking, presumably not wanting to discuss it openly here. And only after everyone else had finished speaking did Butterfly of Sunflowers suddenly ask.
“Mr. Tyr, I actually have a question.”
“What question?”
“It’s about Miss Yuehai. The sword technique she used during the battle with the warrior was exactly the same as the one you taught me. I wonder if there’s any connection…” Butterfly of Sunflowers glanced at Tyr’s darkening expression. She had some confidence in her words initially, but in the end, she shrank back and dared not continue. Tyr cursed inwardly, realizing how he had forgotten about this matter. If it weren’t for the fact that these three people were generally trustworthy, just mentioning this to the Duke’s household might have led to his immediate arrest. There would be no time for regret then.
“I’ll tell you, and Dragon Slayer too, this matter concerns my life, so I beg you, please keep this secret. My situation with Cyril is likely to come to a head soon, so please treat it with caution as well.”
The three of them, needless to say, nodded solemnly in response. At this point, speaking with words would be too artificial; only through practical actions could they earn Mr. Tyr’s approval.
As for Dragon Slayer, it goes without saying,Tyr also felt that Dragon Slayer had no reason and couldn’t imagine him speaking.
Moreover,Tyr lightly touched the “Entrancer” hanging by his side, She is not that kind of person.
Within the royal chamber of the Kingdom of Milik, a massive royal stone table is presented.The aged king, Dalati XIII, sits atop the first seat with the support of his young and beautiful queen.He coughed gently,although his eyes still sparkled with vitality,yet his body was no longer as robust as it once was.
Sometimes, the thirteenth Dalati would regret not having followed his deceased teacher diligently in learning Qi. Otherwise, he might have been youthful like that fellow Falexis. However, he focused on politics, and years of intrigue and maneuvering led him to the throne. When he came to his senses, his body was already beyond the age to accept Qi, and his magical talent was as ordinary as it could be. So now, he had no choice but to accept his old age.
The old king came to his senses and gently spoke into the void.
“Lanar, inform them.”
“Yes.” Lanar, who had appeared by the side of the old king at some point, responded respectfully. In the next moment, projections of more than thirty generals, some old and some still vigorous, appeared around the royal stone table. Though there were a few young talents among them, they were a minority.
Dalati coughed again, and the queen beside him, quite worried, gently stroked the old king’s back. There were many worried words on her lips, but not a single one was spoken.
Dalati waved his hand, and the queen gradually withdrew. Then, Lanar, the personal guard who had grown up with Dalati, strode forward. His expression was grave as he looked at everyone present and spoke in a solemn tone.
“So, let’s start deploying the plan to reclaim the Oracle Book from now on.”
