Chapter 170: Seven Hundred Years of the Number Seven
In the village of Fynren, Seraph looked at the seal. It had a blue eye, with roots growing along its edge.
The staff extended its roots and touched Little Red's seal.
The blue veins were stimulated.
The blue seal glowed, and roots spread throughout Little Red's body, covering Little Red. The roots surrounded Little Red, creating a coffin made of gray roots.
It resembled a princess waiting for her prince to wake her up from a late night. Seraph thought it was because of the shape.
[I guess we'll have to find a dwarf. Originally, seven hundred years was the number of dwarfs, each vying for a hundred years to guard the place.]
The coffin was built, with Little Red waiting inside the box.
The blue roots were tightly closed. Little Red's eyes were still closed, with blue and black lines on his body.
Seraph looked at his staff. "Is it done yet?"
"Yes, that child won't return. It's his choice. I don't want to stop him."
Seraph looked at the seal in the middle of the red one. "Are you taking this child to the Silent Forest?"
"Yes, I will take this child with me, but I have to clear this place first."
Seraph seemed to remember something and looked up at the sky. He saw a large shadow flying down.
[I should have used a mask to disguise myself. I completely forgot. Where did those people go? I can't remember. Never mind. I was able to get away from them. It was a stroke of luck. I almost became a villain.]
Seraph was slightly shocked by the size of the three koi. They were as big as houses.
Flying on Seraph's head, they were so beautiful that it could be said that anyone who collects these three koi would find them rare.
[They're huge. What kind of koi are they?]
The sound of a koi rang out. With Xi Xuan flying beside him,
"That offer, we only agree to this."
"If you help us."
"We'll help you back."
"We won't help for free."
"What do you want?"
"In exchange for something equal."
The three carps took turns speaking.
The blue eyes on the staff looked at the carp. A pressure was released.
Gray roots covered the seraph's body.
A large, tree-shaped, killing intent was released. Boom!
A blue light shot towards the three carp.
The three carp emitted killing intent, colliding with the three-colored light. Boom!
The shape of three carp appeared.
"You want to give me orders? Don't you overestimate yourself?!"
The nearby Xi Xuan flew away at high speed. Boom!
Xixuan tried to stand still. "Is this killing intent? It's not even his true form." Still have this much power! „
Xixuan looked over and saw Seraph, who had endured the killing intent, and nothing happened.
Xixuan saw Seraph standing there He paused, his face filled with shock. "Who is this child? Even I can't stand it, yet this child stands there. He's clearly a monster!"
Seraph was protected by his staff, so he was fine.
Seraph stood there with a bored expression. [If we're going to fight, can you at least keep me out of it? Plus, at this height, he doesn't want to kill himself, so let's calm down. It's a good thing for the future.]
Seraph looked down. The ground was far away. If he jumped, it would be like jumping off a four-story house and dying.
The carp rang out. "We're on our side."
"I don't intend to borrow your power."
"Yours to use."
"Without any reward."
"We're friends."
"You helped me."
"Slow helped you."
"This is a relationship."
"A mutually dependent relationship."
"You're useful."
"We're useful."
"We're useful."
"Let's help each other." With a trade-off."
"Wouldn't that be better?"
The tri-colored carp spoke back and forth, offering mutual benefit, like dependence.
Staff B spoke up. "An interesting proposal. Sure, that sounds better. Now, my proposal is to keep people from the surrounding sects from entering my territory, and to not allow anyone into the Silent Forest."
"That's possible."
"But we can't guarantee that we'll be able to handle it well."
"So, we'll send some of the Phirenin sect's people to walk through your forest."
"To warn other sects that if they enter this territory, they'll become enemies of the Phirenin sect."
"What do you think?"
"Okay, fine. What's your trade-off?"
"When the time comes, we want to take people into your forest to take refuge."
"We'll protect your forest."
And you, protect our people. How about a trade-off for power?"
"If there's a real crisis, I'll help you too.
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
The three carps thanked him.
Si Xuan heard his words and felt curious, but didn't ask.
Staff B spoke up. "Then I'll be going. Don't forget to quickly inform the sect before I can't hold back any longer."
Seraph heard the agreement and his voice boomed. "Little one, I have to go. Please hold the lower part of this staff. I'll use it to communicate.
When the meeting begins, I'll use this to relay the information. As for the box holding this child, please take it with you."
"No problem."
"See you later."
"Good luck."
Staff B stopped talking, his blue eyes disappearing.
Leaving his most troublesome situation in Seraph's hands.
Seraph's expression remained calm.
[Can you trust me? Are you crazy? I've been here from the beginning to the end of the game, and I still have to tease you.
Where did he get the confidence that this seraph would do a good job?]
The seraph bowed to the tri-colored carp. "Please take care of me."
The tri-colored carp stared at the seraph as it landed on the ground. The gray roots began to gently guide the seraph to the ground, without any vibrations.
"You handle the rest."
Xixuan bowed to the tri-colored carp. "Understood."
The tri-colored carp, hearing the answer, began to soar into the sky, heading towards the Fierin School.
Xixuan landed on the ground with a thud.
The seraph stood still, his right and left hands clutching the broken staff.
"What should I do now? Do I need to do anything?"
"According to my thoughts, it will probably be several days before the Fierin School Leader returns, so I'll have to stay here for a while."
"Is that so? By the way, do I have a place to sleep and food while I wait?" "
"Of course. What a strange question, huh? No, I'm sorry."
Xixuan bowed his head in apology to Seraph. He was so old, yet he still had to use polite language with a child who looked several times his own age.
"What's your name?"
"Kisen," then. "Then, just call me Kisen. Don't use polite language with a child like me. It's okay, you don't have to be so polite. Even though you see me like this, I respect those who are older than you."
[It feels strange to be called you.]
Xixuan nodded. "Then, follow me, Kisen. I'll take care of carrying this."
Seraph nodded. [Clearly a gentleman, no, more like an elderly gentleman. Would you let a child like me carry something so large like that?"
The box containing the little red one was as big as half a tree.
"Thank you."
Seraph walked ahead, and Xixuan followed Seraph.
Seraph looked towards the Fierenin School. It was so far away. [It was time for a long journey. I think he'd even sweated a drop or two.]
A tricolored carp was flying towards the Fierenin School. Beneath the carp's belly on the ground,
a young girl was waving to the three carps.
A maid stood there, looking terrified as she saw a large carp flying by.
The person waving was Ruka, who was waving back and forth cheerfully. "Hahaha! Look! Look! A large fish!"
Ruka jumped around, catching the carp's attention. "I'm here! Smile at me!"
Ruka shouted, catching their attention with amusement.
"Yahoo! Yahoo! Pay attention! Pay attention!"
But the maid's expression was different from Ruka's. She was afraid of the large monster. She could feel the aura of danger just by looking at her. She told them not to come near or touch me if they didn't want to die.
