Chapter 196 A Family with a Mine
As the two spoke, the group of bald female guards warily formed a circle around them. Seeing this, T'Chaka immediately commanded in a deep voice, "Welcome, guest!"
The female guards were surprised, exchanged glances, but decisively obeyed the order, sheathing their spears and welcoming Finney in Wakanda.
Because of their baldness, Finney didn't dare underestimate the guards. Through his experience, he knew that anyone
The Ancient One aside, even Sitwell, that bald guy, had superhuman potential as an undercover agent.
Finney followed T'Chaka onto the fighter jet. He didn't summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon back, but instead had it follow behind.
The reason he specifically rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was to demonstrate his strength; without it, he felt something was missing.
Soon, the fighter jet arrived at the palace gates. Finney had also taken in the surrounding Wakanda en route. He had to admit, the towering, technologically advanced buildings seemed completely out of place with the environment and the clothing worn by the people.
The two disembarked, where a group of people waited to greet them at the gate, while a large group of soldiers stood guard nearby.
"This is my wife, Ramonda!"
T'Chaka introduced a beautifully dressed woman who approached.
"Hello, Ramonda!"
Finney nodded, though their expressions were obscured by the 'possession of the demon.'
"Wow, it's the White Dragon! It really is him!"
A young girl next to Ramonda exclaimed excitedly in a low voice, her eyes darting towards him with a cute expression.
Manda glared at the girl, and T'Chaka introduced her as well: "This is my daughter, Shuri."
"Hello, Princess Shuri!"
Finney, seeing Shuri's excitement, inexplicably thought of Zhao Hailun from not long ago. If nothing unexpected happened, she was probably a fan of his.
"Hello, hello! I love you so much, Divine Punishment Knight!"
Compared to the somewhat reserved Zhao Hailun, Shuri was much more lively and cheerful. After Finney greeted her, he immediately replied excitedly.
"Uh..."
Finney was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, her parents were nearby. Ramonda gently tugged at Shuri and then looked at Finney apologetically, saying, "Excuse me, please come in!"
"It's alright!"
Finney nodded and then let T'Chaka lead him into the palace.
The luxurious and elegant palace made Finney sigh again. No wonder they were from a wealthy family!
After arriving at the palace, T'Chaka led Finney to a high-class reception room. Only Manda, Shuri, and a few female guards accompanied him.
Although T'Chaka still hadn't taken off his Black Panther suit, he had removed his helmet, revealing his aged face.
Seeing this, Finney pondered for a moment before dispelling the 'evil spirit's possession. After all, the main purpose of their visit was peace talks, and revealing his identity would help gain their trust.
Everyone present was stunned when Finney's 'evil spirit' suddenly disappeared.
The first to react was Shuri, who stared intently at Finney's face and couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Wow, so handsome!"
Hearing Shuri's exclamation, T'Chaka and Manda also snapped out of their surprise. Just as Finney had expected, revealing her identity instantly lessened the wariness in their eyes.
"Finney , a mage who likes to cause trouble. I recently encountered your Black Panther Goddess Bast, so while passing by, I suddenly thought I'd like to meet you."
Finney introduced herself to the three, but her words stunned the group who had just begun to recover.
"You're a mage?"
Although Shuri was young, she had the strongest ability to learn, so he was immediately surprised by Finney's words, but he unexpectedly focused on the first half of the sentence.
"Yes!"
Finney shrugged, then casually activated the Ring of Raggadorr, adding some special effects to himself, and then summoned a 'Violet Chicken Wrap' and handed it to Su Rui:
"This is my exclusive spell, want to try it?"
Although giving a 'Violet Chicken Wrap' in this situation seemed a bit strange, Shuri, as a fan, didn't think too much about it and took it without saying a word, excitedly examining the chicken wrap in his hand.
T'Chaka and Manda glanced worriedly at Shuri, who was studying the chicken nugget wrap. They were clearly more concerned about the latter part of Finney's statement, asking, "Mr. Finney, you said you've seen our great Panther God?"
"Yes!"
Finney nodded, then continued, "By chance, I arrived in her dimension, and she made a promise to come back to Earth. Maybe you'll have a chance to see her again someday!"
Bast had personally told him to come to Earth, so while Finney was somewhat reluctant about this 'promise,' he wasn't lying.
T'Chaka and Manda exchanged conflicted glances, unsure if Finney was telling the truth.
If it was false, it would be easy to resolve; even if Finney was powerful, Wakanda wasn't afraid of strong enemies. But they feared it was true, given Finney's mysterious reputation.
As for asking the Panther God, T'Chaka wasn't unwilling, but unable.
Although every member of the Wakanda royal family had the right to enter the Ancestral Lands, entry wasn't arbitrary; generally, each person only had two opportunities.
Upon becoming a Black Panther, or after death. Upon becoming a Black Panther, through the Heart-Shaped Herb and a ritual, they have the opportunity to travel to the ancestral lands, obtaining the power bestowed by Bastet, so that upon death, their souls are drawn back there.
Moreover, becoming a Black Panther doesn't necessarily guarantee seeing the Panther God; at least when he consumed the Heart-Shaped Herb, he only saw his ancestors, not the Panther God.
Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, this is a Wakanda tradition, and T'Chaka doesn't have the courage to break it.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Finney, how can we believe you?" Seeing her husband's hesitation, Manda asked on his behalf.
Finney glanced at her, didn't explain, but instead waved his hand in the air.
An orange-yellow energy burst forth, and the surrounding environment seemed to be holographically projected, transforming into something else entirely. Not far away, a lifelike Black Panther stared at him.
This was a Kamar-Taj spell, capable of simulating images in one's mind. Since his spatial abilities were enhanced by the Space Stone, he could learn many more spells, and this was one he had recently mastered.
This was also a key reason why he chose to negotiate; he was betting that T'Chaka wouldn't be able to verify Bast's claims, which would be enough for him to easily obtain vibranium.
"Lord Panther God!"
Upon seeing this, the three, along with several female soldiers around them, instantly knelt reverently towards the black panther's location.
Finney waved his hand to dispel the spell; if Bast's claw attack were accidentally revealed, negotiations would become difficult.
Sure enough, after witnessing the spell, T'Chaka's attitude immediately changed.
Although he hadn't seen the Panther God when he consumed the Heart-Shaped Grass, he clearly remembered the environment of the Ancestral Lands, and he understood that the scene matched his memory.
Moreover, besides him, probably no one else in Wakanda knew what the Ancestral Lands actually looked like.
