Chapter 441: Circumstances Are Stronger Than Man (Please Subscribe!)

Through countless historical examples, it has been proven that humans are creatures that learn from experience.

As the Great Sage, although Swan had not yet received any severe lessons, he had already learned to draw on past experiences.

Just like now, after this short period of time, he had successfully come to understand one fact.

– He couldn’t afford to offend Izay, nor did he have the means to do so.

That fish, if Swan wasn’t mistaken, should be one of the Three Earth Deities, the Red Lake Lord, a deity who caused massive casualties to humanity during the great wars in the past.

Now she was powerless in Izay’s hands, unable to resist.

The last Star God was being kept as his lucky charm.

Sensing the presence of Elko approaching, the return of Black Candle Duke was unstoppable.

And then there was Izay.

Elmeria had said that the First Beast was defeated by Izay.

Combining the time and location, how could Swan not guess that the massive explosion that shocked the world a few days ago was caused by Izay!?

Such a scale, one hit could vaporize all the floating continents!

Could such a great deity be offended?

Clearly not! (Panda-man refuses.jpg)

Moreover, he still needed something from him. At this moment, agreeing to the other party’s request was the wise choice, and there was no other option.

If Izay realized that soft tactics wouldn’t work and resorted to force, the floating continent group would definitely not withstand Izay’s strength.

So, whatever the situation, it was inevitable, and Swan finally chose the more dignified option.

“… Lord Izay, I agree to your request. From this moment on, I, including every resident, meeting, group, or faction on the floating continent group, have no right to make any arrangements for the fairy soldiers. In the future, the Fairy Warehouse will be fully managed by you.”

Circumstances were stronger than man, and Swan appropriately chose to bow his head at the right time.

Anyway, as long as Izay fulfilled his promise, there would be no loss for himself.

Without the fairy soldiers guarding the floating continent group, wouldn’t there soon be a Black Candle Duke guarding the continent?

A mighty Earth Deity used to guard the floating island, isn’t that better than fairy soldiers!?

In the future, he could even use this to mock that guy; after all, they had a five-hundred-year partnership.

“Hmm, in that case, according to our agreement, we will let the recovered Black Candle Duke guard the safety of the floating continent group, is that alright? Elko.”

Although knowing it would definitely be fine, Izay still asked.

“No problem at all, I’ll follow Izay’s lead.”

After finishing another cream cake, Elko leaned back on the sofa in the reception room, her small belly showing a slightly round curve, clearly stuffed full.

“That’s how it is, you heard that. Don’t worry about Black Candle unwilling to come. If Elko goes to persuade him, there’s no possibility of failure. Arrange the airship later, I’ll take Elko to see Black Candle sooner.”

Izay nodded, revealing an intent to resolve the matter quickly.

Actually, Izay was concerned about the issue of time.

He had been here in the End World for nearly ten days, which meant that a day in Orario was probably nearing its end.

If he didn’t return early, his original plan to spend the night with Lady Artemis would be ruined, right?

This couldn’t happen!

Therefore, Izay decided to be swift and efficient in resolving this matter within the remaining time.

As for the promise he made to Laentoluca to visit her?

No worries, he could just come back in a few days. Having a “Mystical Anchor Point” allowed for such capriciousness.

“Are we going to find Black Candle? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Seeing Izay’s preparation, Elko excitedly waved her little hand.

“Actually, my lord, you don’t necessarily have to go find Black Candle personally. You only need to release a bit of power and wait for him to come over. Once he knows about your revival, he’ll surely rush over eagerly.”

At this point, the Red Lake Lord, who had been bullied by Izay and was hiding beside Elko, suddenly gave a suggestion.

The wording was a bit harsh, but since both the Red Lake Lord and Black Candle Duke were among the Three Earth Deities with good relations, it didn’t matter much if they teased each other.

“… Is that so?” Hearing her words, Elko wasn’t quite sure, so she looked at Izay.

Receiving her gaze, Izay thought for a moment and then asked Swan, “How long does it take to get to Black Candle Duke from here?”

“A bit over half an hour.”

“And how about coming from Black Candle Duke’s place? Also half an hour?”

“Yes, since the airship models are the same.”

Swan responded affirmatively.

“Alright then, Elko, you tell Black Candle Duke to come over, we’ll wait for him.”

“Okay~!”

…

The task of notification was taken up by Elko and Swan.

The former ensured the authenticity of the message, while the latter used magical traces to inform Black Candle Duke of the situation.

After receiving a “This old man will be there immediately” reply through the magical trace communication, the reception room returned to silence.

However, waiting alone was boring, so one must find something to do to make the waiting time pass faster.

Like chatting.

“Um… Lord Izay, may I ask you another question?” Swan approached Izay again and asked respectfully.

“What is it?”

“You mentioned that Elmeria’s father is still alive…”

“Isn’t it called William something? It’s true, he’s not dead. Or rather, he was resurrected recently, salvaged by a salvage team.”

Upon hearing this, Izay waved his hand and bluntly informed him.

“Recently… salvage team…? Are you talking about the crystallized person salvaged by the Orlando Trade Guild a year ago? That’s William? And he’s still alive?”

Swan immediately opened his mouth wide.

As the highest advisor of the Guardian Wing Army, there were very few events on these islands that he didn’t know about, unless he had overlooked them.

He naturally heard about the crystallized person a year ago, but at the time, he read the report and believed that the person couldn’t possibly survive, so he didn’t bother to look into it. Now it seemed that he was getting old and forgetful!?

“I’m not clear about what guild it was, I only know that he was originally petrified and sealed, and naturally woke up after the seal was lifted.” Izay said in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Indeed, please excuse me for leaving temporarily, I want to investigate those involved in the incident a year ago immediately.”

“I, I also want to go. Please excuse me, Mr. Izay.”

Having received news of his dear friend, Swan immediately got up and left, with Elmeria following behind. They would probably go directly to find William afterward?

But it didn’t matter anyway.

Swan had already handed over all the documents regarding the jurisdiction of the Fairy Warehouse to him, and the owner had changed to his name. All that was left was the announcement.

He had achieved half of his purpose here, and now all that was left was to wait for Black Candle Duke.
