Chapter 434

Chapter 440: Let me go, noooooo! (Please subscribe!)

It took some time, but Elmereia and Swang recounted the reason why she had come back from the dead.

The truth about the Beast was also revealed.

Anyway, Swang already knew this truth, so there was nothing lost in saying it aloud.

During this process, Izay sat nearby eating cream cake with Ilko.

Although the little guy loved cream cake, even if it were Izay, she would still share her food.

That heart-wrenching, reluctant yet still offering up of her own food to Izay was truly adorable.

When Elmereia and Swang finished their exchange, the latter’s gaze towards Izay had clearly changed.

If before he merely respected her as an outsider powerhouse,

Now there was added a layer of respect.

Not only had she saved his dear friend’s daughter, but Swang caught another key point—

Elmereia’s father, William Kmerius, is alive?!?

Hard to believe!

But just fifteen minutes ago, if someone told him that Elmereia was alive, he would have thought the same thing.

And what happened?

Elmereia stood vividly before him, feeling exactly the same as five hundred years ago, maybe just a bit more mature?

Out of wanting to find out the whereabouts of his dear friend, Swang could now be said to be at Izay’s mercy!

The host-guest relationship instantly flipped!

“Hmm… That… Lord Izay?”

After waiting for Izay and Ilko to finish their cream cake, Swang carefully chose his words to speak.

“Eh? You’re done talking?”

Upon hearing the call, Izay first replenished the star goddess Ilko’s food, then turned around.

“Yes, this reunion has been incredibly surprising for me. Please allow me to express my gratitude.”

As he spoke, the old man disregarded the dumbfounded expression of the nearby female official and slightly bowed towards Izay.

For Swang, a relic who has lived over five hundred years, there are very few things that can move him.

But “very few” does not mean none.

Coincidentally, both family ties and friendship fall into that category.

Elmereia was his dear friend’s daughter, and she used to get along well with him too, almost like his own niece. Just the fact that Izay had saved—or rather resurrected—Elmereia was enough to make him grateful.

Let alone knowing the whereabouts of his dear friend.

“Hmm… You can give something substantial. Although I saved her incidentally, frankly speaking, verbal thanks lacks sincerity.” Izay said with a smile.

“Ah… What does Lord Izay need?”

Swang was also a sharp one. Upon hearing this, he immediately understood.

The other party was powerful, and there was little he could offer in return, but he still said these words, indicating that what the other party wanted was related to the floating continent cluster.

Nothing, for the sake of his old friend, plus the matter of reviving Elmereia, as long as it wasn’t too outrageous, Swang felt he could agree.

“It’s comfortable talking to smart people.” Izay gave a slight praise, then extended his hand, “Two points, very simple requests, not difficult.”

“Please state them.”

“The first, I want to meet the Earth God Black Candle. The second, I want full control of the Fairy Warehouse.”

Izay quickly stated his two demands, and upon hearing them, Swang suddenly felt the urge to retract his previous statement.

The first one was fine; although he didn’t know how Izay knew about Black Candle’s existence, all he had to do was bring him to meet, and the rest should be Black Candle’s business, unrelated to him.

But the second one, demanding full control of the Fairy Warehouse, was like targeting the floating continent cluster’s lifeline!

You see, against the attack of the sixth beast flying with the wind, the only effective countermeasure currently available to the floating continent cluster was those fairy weapons.

Giving all the fairy weapons to Izay, what would the floating continent cluster do!?

Could this demand really be summed up with a single word like “simple”!?

Oh my gosh…

Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Swang tried his best to steady his emotions.

Hold on, I still need to find out about William from this person, I can’t get angry now…

After quite a while, the great sage finally refocused his attention on Izay: “May I ask what you seek, sir?”

Seeing this, Izay waved his hand: “You don’t have to pretend, I know you’d probably want to kick me out right away.”

The Fairy Warehouse held a special status here, it was akin to a strategic weapon. Anyone facing an outsider who walks in and says “give me your strategic weapon,” would find it hard not to laugh.

Izay understood, but that doesn’t mean he would give up: “I’ve said it, these two conditions are simple, they actually mean what they say.”

“I need to meet Black Candle because Black Candle should meet me. I brought Ilko here, wouldn’t you say he should come see us?”

“As for the Fairy Warehouse? That’s even simpler. Once Black Candle regains his strength, the protection of the floating continent cluster will be handed over to him. It’ll be a word from Ilko, and the gold fairies can retire peacefully. You have no right to arrange anything further for them. Do you understand what I mean?”

To the myriad doubts of the sage elder, Izay explained word by word.

“You! You said Ilko!? Didn’t Ilko…five hundred years ago…”

Wait a minute, this sounds familiar… I think I said something similar earlier…

Shocked halfway through, Swang stopped again. He glanced once more at the little girl quietly eating cake behind Izay, his facial management gradually breaking down.

(Are you running a bulk resurrection service or something?)

The inner drama of the great sage made his eyes twitch violently.

Elmereia, Ilko, William. Three beings who were supposed to be dead according to his knowledge now appeared one by one before him. Is today some kind of spooky festival?

“Nice grandpa called me?”

Hearing someone call her, Ilko cutely lifted her head from the cream cake, crumbs sticking to the corner of her mouth.

Ssssss! This is the real star goddess!!

With his profound expertise in curse traces, Swang quickly identified Ilko’s true identity.

The final star goddess they were supposed to defeat five hundred years ago! And now she’s also resurrected!

“I did not, I didn’t say anything, this old man hasn’t said a word!”

Facing the star goddess, Swang didn’t dare to resist even a bit. If she wanted, a mere thought could erase him. Who could possibly provoke her?!

“Strange grandpa…”

After he cowered, Ilko stared at him for a couple more seconds, then turned her attention back to her battle with the cream cake.

“Hmph~ Arrogant humans~!”

Unbeknownst to anyone, the red-silver void fish suddenly darted out from Ilko, casting a disdainful glance at Swang, making the latter feel insulted.

“Huh? Little Red, you’re throwing shade!?”

Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have Ilko backing you?

What a big authority display!

Of course, Izay wouldn’t agree with such behavior.

He slid in with a tackle… No, wait… He grabbed Voidfish’s tail and pulled her back before she could escape.

“Ahhh! Izay let me go! Don’t!”
