Chapter 1102: Chapter 1095: Hand Over the Prime Fluid
"You, my friend, act as though you haven’t seen it yourself." Hu Daoke rubbed his head, almost exploding in anger after the slap.
The reason he was so angry was that he felt Cheng Ziang had no right to lecture him. This kid was just like him, a man of temperament who couldn’t take his eyes off a beautiful woman; it was just that he hid it better, while Hu Daoke was more straightforward.
In comparison, Luo’er truly could be called a gentleman, adopting an attitude of ’see no evil’ toward such matters. Hence, Hu Daoke would rather have Luo’er instruct him than Cheng Ziang taking the opportunity to take advantage of him.
"Alright, no more quarreling, this is their sacred place, be mindful of the local customs," Luo’er said, waving his hand to stop them.
"Exactly," Tangmo nodded with a smile upon seeing Luo’er’s behavior, then said proudly, "Our Luo’er is indeed a true gentleman, which is why I’m so at ease."
"If I were to turn my head and look, you would probably explode with anger, right?" Luo’er said with a wry smile.
"No, I would join them!" Tangmo declared, tilting his head back and squinting his eyes.
"Then I better not look..." Luo’er shook his head helplessly once more.
"What kind of relic is this? It feels like it’s just like the pyramid in Divine Wood Down," Hu Daoke said, looking up at the moss-covered green-brick pyramid.
"They are indeed the same; it’s all the Elf Race, just with different beliefs," Cheng Ziang said with a shrug.
Falei stepped out of the carriage with the help of surrounding Elves and proceeded toward the altar in the center of the square. She was dressed more lavishly than before, her headdress nearly outgrowing the size of her head. Although it looked exquisitely beautiful, one couldn’t help but worry about her ability to carry it.
Falei wore a complicatedly designed robe, with a train two to three meters long that the following Elves held up, walking behind her.
Probably due to the weight of her attire, Falei needed support on both sides as she slowly ascended the steps. Then, she knelt down, spread her arms wide with palms facing upwards, bowed her head, and began to pray.
"Come to think of it, is this how gods and humans always communicate? It seems so troublesome," Hu Daoke said, furrowing his brows.
"How could that be? It’s only a matter of showing respect," Cheng Ziang said, shrugging his shoulders, "Besides, we have a god with us, right? When you communicate with her, do you need to pray?"
"That’s true. Hey, but where did Xiao Fula run off to? How come there hasn’t been any sign of her? Big guy, did you lose her?" All of a sudden, Hu Daoke thought of something and turned to ask Luo’er.
"Of course not, she was just talking with us a moment ago," Luo’er patted his chest and said.
"She must have gone wandering around, that little light bulb," Tangmo said.
"Bad woman, are you talking behind my back while I’m gone?" Just then, the voice of Fulajie’er suddenly echoed in everyone’s minds, startling them all.
"Appearing and disappearing out of thin air, you’re going to scare us all to death one of these days," Tangmo jumped and said, clutching her chest and frowning.
"That’s for talking about me behind my back," Fulajie’er said.
"Who’s been talking about you? You’re paranoid," Tangmo said, rolling her eyes.
Tangmo had spoken in Chinese, and Fulajie’er couldn’t understand Chinese yet, so she could only go and question Tangmo. Since Tangmo’s body was still under her sister’s control at that moment, Fulajie’er calling her a bad woman wasn’t a problem, as the nickname was specifically for her.
"Wasn’t there anything, Luo’er?" Fulajie’er asked.
"There’s no such thing. You two stop arguing every time you meet," Luo’er said helplessly.
"I can’t even see her," Tangmo said solemnly.
"If I came out, these Elves would probably treat me as a god," Fulajie’er said.
About ten minutes later, Falei finally completed the ritual, and with the help of everyone around, she struggled to stand up and walked toward Luo’er and the others.
"Sir Luo’er," Falei hadn’t even reached Luo’er when she bent over to pay respects and then spoke softly, "According to the will of the gods, we will hold the ceremony at noon tomorrow. May I trouble your excellency to hand over the Prime Fluid so we can keep it safe."
Her voice was very soft and had a lazy tone of tranquil years, which contrasted sharply with her sacred demeanor at the moment.
"This..." Luo’er was indecisive for a moment and turned his head to look at Cheng Ziang.
Luo’er’s concerns were not without reason. After all, the Prime Fluid was their bargaining chip in negotiations. Although they were now deep within Xia Yue Island, surrounded by Night Elves, there was a difference between handing it over willingly and having it taken by force. Luo’er also worried that once these Night Elves took the Prime Fluid, they might drive them away or even harm them.
"Oh, Sir Luo’er need not worry," noticing Luo’er’s concerns, Falei continued to explain, "We will not drive you away or harm you. After the revival, Sir Xiapei Kam hopes to meet with Sir Luo’er. As it is Sir Xiapei Kam’s will, we will naturally abide by it."
Hearing her words, Luo’er glanced around and then hesitated before nodding and saying, "Alright, I trust you."
With that, he gestured to Baiyue to hand over the treasured Prime Fluid they had kept. Falei wouldn’t even let others touch it and went forward herself, carefully taking the Prime Fluid as if dealing with her own newborn child, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Thank you, Sir Luo’er, for your cooperation. Please rest for now, we will hold the ceremony tomorrow noon," Falei, her face brimming with excitement, held the Prime Fluid close and slowly turned to leave with the support of those around her.
"Indeed, Xiapei Kam is indeed interested in us," Cheng Ziang nodded after watching Falei and the others leave.
"It should be said, she is interested in Luo’er. Don’t forget the purpose of our trip," Tangmo said, tapping Luo’er’s left chest with his finger.
"It’s always said that Luo’er is useful to Xiapei Kam. What I’m curious about is, what use is Luo’er, who has established a link with Tana? Does she plan to use Luo’er to destroy Tana?" Cheng Ziang asked, frowning.
"Hey," his words evoked an exclamation from Fulajie’er, who asked anxiously, "In that case, could Luo’er die?"
"He shouldn’t," Baiyue suddenly spoke up, her voice steady and analytical, "Don’t forget that Xiapei Kam is also a god, and gods do not have the right to harm mortals wantonly. Tana herself had to go to great lengths to claim Luo’er’s life, what with illusions and temptations. I don’t think Xiapei Kam is more cruel than Tana. If anything, she’s a more advanced artificial intelligence, so when it comes to treating mortals, she should be somewhat better than Tana."
"Makes sense," Cheng Ziang nodded in approval.
"Is there a possibility," Hu Daoke suddenly proposed a view, "that Xiapei Kam does not intend to harm the boss, but due to being unable to control her own power, she accidentally kills someone... "
"To say that is to underestimate a god. How could a god possibly not control her own power?" Tangmo shook his head.
Gods can certainly control their own power effectively. Take, for instance, the Demigod Fulajie’er who can perfectly control her power. Her ability to capture bullets with shield magic is a demonstration of perfect power control.
Keep in mind that not everyone can do this, but Fulajie’er did. She can freely control the flexibility and firmness of her shield to capture bullets that even she cannot see.
"Your point is invalid," Baiyue also shook her head, "Gods were created by the Ancestors to ensure the maintenance of world order. Tana caused trouble because of flaws in her character. I don’t think Xiapei Kam, who oversees Tana, has the same issues. When it comes to using power and respecting life, I believe Xiapei Kam has to be better than Tana, no matter what."
"Regardless," Luo’er sighed, then shrugged, "All guesses hinge on tomorrow’s fate, and I don’t believe I will meet my end here either."
