Chapter 1074 - Fruitless Negotiation
Who exactly is she?
Gazing at the young lady, Erin almost failed to conceal her surprise. Although the young lady had an identical face to Rhode’s, her aura was completely different. It could also be said that standing before her, Erin felt a massive, yet gentle aura, which was totally unlike Rhode’s, as though this young lady was born on a higher level than both of them. Even with the identity of the moon princess, Erin felt so tiny before her. The young lady was apparently younger but for some unknown reason, Erin just couldn’t puff out her chest and lift her head bravely in front of her. On the contrary, she cowered uncharacteristically, leaving her feeling uncomfortable. Even though she tried her best to pull herself together to resist this strong presence, she had little success. This terrified her and due to this reason, she temporarily put aside the negotiations between the Void Territory and Country of Darkness. Fortunately, even though Erin felt incomparably pressured by the young lady’s aura, she cleared her mind and wasn’t led by the nose by her. If not, she would have signed a series of treaties that would forfeit sovereignty and humiliate her own country. All in all, the negotiation lasted for three hours.
“Alright then, I shall take my leave now.”
After bowing respectfully, Erin turned around and left. Even though she maintained her usual smile, she was obviously putting up a strong face judging from her stiff expression. She was totally caught off guard by the emergence of such a formidable enemy. She could barely maintain her usual etiquette and from the fact that she didn’t crumble in the face of this former Void Dragon’s aura proved how much self-restraint she had.
“What a decent child.”
Gazing at Erin’s shrinking back and the door that closed behind her, the young lady commented with a smile. Standing beside her, Rhode, who had switched ‘class’ to become a ‘spirit’, shrugged and shook his head. He sighed.
“What a pity. I didn’t expect this princess to be this difficult to handle. I thought I could use this chance to settle the issue.”
Indeed, Rhode had initially decided to put his younger sister in charge of the negotiations with Erin since he couldn’t return to his body for the time being. Besides, in terms of aura, his younger sister could also get the job done easier than he could. That didn’t mean that Rhode had problems controlling the power of the Void Dragon, but as the creator of Dragon Soul Continent, no matter if his younger sister had this conscious or not, she faced everything with the identity of a ‘creator’ on this continent. It was impossible for Rhode to have this aloof attitude unless he had created a world himself. It was simply a natural aura that no one could possibly ignore. The more power one possessed, the more one could sense the power in the young lady that came from the origin. Even if one wasn’t aware of her true identity, one would instinctively sense that this young lady was the creator of their world.
But it was a pity that Erin managed to hold it down. At the very least, she didn’t mess up and wasn’t led by the nose by his younger sister. This left Rhode, who came up with funny ideas by the sideline, feeling discontented. He knew that opportunity seldom knocked twice and if he allowed Erin to return just like this, it wouldn’t be as easy to deal with Ion the next time around. But what exceeded Rhode’s expectation was that Erin wasn’t easy to push around. Although she wasn’t sure who exactly the young lady was and exactly what happened, she used her own method to survive the danger. Throughout the three hours of negotiations, both the young ladies behaved like noblewomen enjoying a tea party in the garden, chatting about meaningless gossip and leaving Rhode sleepy. Moreover, Erin freed herself timely. It seemed like her wisdom benefited her a lot this time.
But Rhode did receive some gains. At least after turning into a spirit, he could do or see whatever he wanted to… But what surprised him was that Erin actually wore white undergarments, which was surprisingly conservative. Rhode initially thought that there would be some black laces, at the very least, as white didn’t fit her image at all.
“Even though it is indeed used to observe stars, it isn’t used to observe any ordinary stars, but the Order Star instead.”
“What you’re saying is…”
Rhode’s expression turned solemn. Judging from his tone, the young lady realized the change in his attitude and nodded slightly.
“That’s right, Big Brother. Back then when we avoided Chaos and opened up this space to create the Dragon Soul Continent, we used the Astral Telescope and received guidance and assistance from the ‘Order Star’. If you decide to continue with your plan, we can confirm the specific location of the ‘Order Star’ after we receive the Astral Telescope.”
“I see. It sure seems like something we need.”
Hearing his younger sister’s answer, Rhode nodded replied said. But he quickly had another question.”
“But why is it with the Dark Dragon instead of you since it is that important?”
“Because I was the one who created the Dragon Soul Continent, so it went without saying that Chaos took my territory as the top priority to attack. So just in case, we decided to move the Astral Telescope to a safer place and handed it over to the Dark Dragon. In comparison to other territories, his territory was more stable and suitable to store it.”
That makes sense, considering the properties of the undead creatures. If there weren’t any accidents, perhaps the group of undead creatures protecting the Astral Telescope might still be alive now.
“Besides…”
“Besides…?”
Rhode gazed curiously at his younger sister. Upon sensing his gaze, the younger sister gave a playful chuckle.
“If I recall correctly, there is still a holy sword spirit waiting to be awakened by you, Big Brother.”
