Chapter 286 - Future
Rumru was telling him the legend in Waskin City, about the past City Lord that kidnapped a Fairy from the Orin Forest. But what he heard was a different version, a complete story and also the truth behind the kidnapping.
The kidnapped fairy was Rumru and Arelia's daughter, Gracia. If the people's version was that the City Lord who kidnapped Gracia, Rumru told him that the mastermind behind the kidnapping was the Gods.
"Do you think those fools could deceive me?" Rumru suddenly raised his voice when Tang Shaoyang told the Dragon the story of his version, "Of course not. If not for those fake Gods, they could never kidnap my daughter!!!"
The old but ferocious voice echoes through the crystal cave, "Hah, sorry... I can't control my emotion..."
"I don't mind," Tang Shaoyang shook his head, 'It's not like I can get angry at a Dragon,' he thought to himself.
"Those Fake Gods come to my domain..." the Dragon continued his story about how his daughter got kidnapped. The fake Gods visited the Orin Forest for an "inspection" but while the Gods were doing their inspection, his daughter was kidnapped.
The Dragon went into a rage, he wanted to rescue his daughter but the eight Gods stopped him. The reason was that he had the power that rivaled a God if he insisted to meddle directly, the Gods had to make his move too.
Eight against one, even though the Dragon said they were Fake Gods, but he could not win against eight of them. He was forced to send his people instead of doing the rescue by himself.
However, all of this had been planned well, the Gods sent their force to help. The force of Four Churches against the beasts who followed him willingly without proper power. After the clash only then he realized that the Gods planned all of this.
At this very moment, Rumru was very helpless. He could risk himself to save his daughter, but the consequence would be dire, for his wife and daughter.
"Let's say I can save my daughter, I would likely get killed later by those Fake Gods. And then, my wife and my daughter will be next, I can't do anything but let those Gods take my daughter as a hostage," The Dragon let out a helpless and saddened sigh.
"But those kidnappers dared to defile my daughter, later I heard my daughter was raped by them, and she killed herself..." the Dragon described how his daughter died, "I attacked the city myself and slaughtered everyone related to the kidnapper!" Raged filled his voice and once again, the uncontrolled deafening voice echoed inside the crystal cave.
"Those Fake Gods dared not to appear, they know that I have nothing to lose, and they are afraid to lose their dear lives. Those cowards went into hiding from me, I have been looking for them but even my race doesn't want to help to find them..." once again, the Dragon's sad and helpless voice rang.
"You will do everything for that?" He asked Rumru with a grin, "I will do everything, I will let you have my bloodline as long as you agree to my request!" The old man nodded his head.
"Including sacrificing your body and your wife's body?" He eyed the beautiful fairy at the ice coffin and also the old man. When he finished his words, pressure like a giant mountain fell onto his shoulder.
Because of the pressure, the crystal chair broke into pieces and he fell on his knees. The table also crumbled into pieces, causing him to kneel to the old man. However, Tang Shaoyang refused to lower his head. Even though the pressure was too hard for him, he had his eyes looking into the Dragon.
Soon the pressure vanished as a new chair and a new table formed, "I am sorry, I lost my control. But can you tell me why you want my wife's body?"
The Dragon was asking about his wife's body, clearly, he was prepared to sacrifice his own body too.
Tang Shaoyang was ready to use [Spirit Integration] with Zaneos, but he was relieved that the old man could still think calmly. He was not at fault since the old man did not give him a chance to explain.
"That's my secret, I will not tell you until we sign the oath or something similar. You can include the oath that I can't defile your wife's body or something similar if you are afraid, of course. You have prepared something like this, right?" Tang Shaoyang calmly stood up and stood on the chair as nothing happened.
The old man furrowed his brows. He could tell that Tang Shaoyang did not trust him even after he told everything about the [Clairvoyance] and more.
"You human truly greedy creature!" The old man let out a dissatisfaction but he agreed to the proposal, "I have prepared the Divine Oath, an oath of soul and blood. If you violate the oath, you will not only lose your life but also your soul! There would be no resurrection skill that could resurrect once your soul disappears!"
Tang Shaoyang grinned at the old man's dissatisfaction, "Greediness is one factor that makes humans survive even until now. I have a grudge against them, so I don't plan to violate the oath!"
"True," The old man stood up and placed his hand on the crystal table. The table was glowing as intricate texts and symbols started to appear.
"Drop your blood anywhere on the table," Rumru instructed Tang Shaoyang. But the latter merely glanced at the glowing table and raised his head, "Before that, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask away," the Dragon nodded.
"Why don't you try [Resurrection] skill on your wife?" Tang Shaoyang asked. He believed resurrection was something easy for the Dragon.
"I told you before, you need to have a soul to be resurrected, but [Clairvoyance] consumed my wife's soul, so resurrection is not possible!" The Dragon explained.
"Alright, let's make the oath!" Tang Shaoyang nodded.
