Reborn into A Slash Game Chapter 73 - We Must Obtain Both Artifacts!

Chapter 73 - We Must Obtain Both Artifacts!

The Dragons and the Sylphs were races that hadn’t been mentioned by Grantlyn, but what about the Dwarves?

Suo Fei voiced his doubts and Samael supplemented, “The Dwarves is a sub-race of the Sylphs.”

It turned out to be like this. At that time, he heard Grantlyn and others say, implicitly and explicitly, that their races were being persecuted and being devoured. Their voices were filled with loathing towards Yalance.

What they’ve said was very one-sided. They blindly emphasised their grievances but didn’t mention the cause of their suffering. At that time, the situation was too chaotic so Suo Fei was unable to respond quickly since he had just received too much information.

Now, after discussing it with Samael, he heard the other side of the story. Coupled with his conversation with Hull, Suo Fei had a vague idea of what actually happened.

Every action has consequences. Grantlyn and his group were dreadful of Yalance’s power and were scared that they would disappear, but they didn’t want to seek the root of the matter. They vehemently wanted to leave this place… Wait, how can they leave this place?Where would they go once they leave this place?

Samael said, “It’s true that they want to leave. They want to return to their true home.”

Suo Fei understood in an instant. Grantlyn had clearly told him, ‘Fey, we don’t belong here. I only want to return to our homeland.’

At that time, he only thought that he was speaking in metaphors. Now, however, it seemed that he meant it literally. Grantlyn and his group knew much more than Suo Fei had imagined, and their objective was extremely clear.

“But how are they planning to leave?”

Samael looked at him and guided his train of thoughts, “Think from the beginning. What did Grantlyn do?”

“He cut down the Elves’ Holy Tree.”

“And what is that?”

“The glory that G.o.d had bestowed to the Elves.”

“And… who is this G.o.d?”

Suo Fei’s somewhat muddled brain was suddenly enlightened, “G.o.d… is Yalance! It was Yalance who bestowed the Holy Tree to the Elves! The Holy Tree was the artifact of the Elves!”

Everything became clear in an instant. Suo Fei knew Yalance’s settings. Each race had their own unique artifact. They weren’t weapons but instead were items that had been bestowed by G.o.d. Some artifacts had functions while others didn’t.

Suo Fei remembered that when they were in Benesse City, Grantlyn spared no effort to obtain the artifact of the Humans. Then, he thought of the artifacts of the Trolls, the ‘Transmogrifier’ and the ‘Shadow s.h.i.+fter’. They really had an objective.

“Their objective is to collect the artifacts of all the races?”

“No,” Samael had a different opinion, “Their ultimate goal is to destroy everything that had been bestowed by G.o.d.”

That was true. First, they destroyed the Holy Tree. They had not destroyed the artifacts in their hand maybe because those artifacts still had other uses or perhaps the right opportunity to destroy hadn’t arrived. Nevertheless, their ultimate goal must be to destroy all of them. If not, they wouldn’t have destroyed the Elves’ artifact at the beginning.

“But why destroy them?” As soon as he asked, Suo Fei thought of the answer.

What happened to the Elves when their Holy Tree was cut down?

Half of Valinor fell into the abyss. If the other Holy Tree was also destroyed, the whole Valinor would disappear.

The artifacts are the pillars of Yalance. Destroying these artifacts… was just like chopping off Yalance’s arms. If Yalance didn’t have enough power to entrap them, they would be able to leave this place.

But… it would come with devastating consequences!

Moreover, how many people could leave in the end? What about those people who had already lost their power and couldn’t leave? Would they disappear together with Yalance?

In an instant, Suo Fei felt a chill run down his back.

“Are they mad?” Suo Fei couldn’t understand their behaviour. Must they be so outrageous?

Samael narrowed his eyes and quietly spoke, “They have guilty consciences. They are afraid…”

His voice was so low that Suo Fei couldn’t hear it clearly. He was just about to ask him when Samael suddenly looked at Suo Fei, held his hand and said, “How are you feeling? Much better? Should we go back and rest?”

Suo Fei wanted to ask more questions but he clearly saw that Samael didn’t want to continue the topic. After thinking about it, Suo Fei chose not to ask him further.

The two had unconsciously walked for an hour. The sky was already dark and the leaves of some trees in the surroundings were surprisingly fluorescent. They twinkled with all kinds of radiance, like stars falling into the earth. It was extremely beautiful.

The two didn’t return using the previous route. Samael unfolded his wings and Suo Fei understood. His eyes curved into a smile and he willingly hugged Samael. His position truly couldn’t be described as good-looking. He was like a koala bear.

Samael hooked his arm around his waist and changed his position. Suo Fei was somewhat dissatisfied. Princess carry is not better than a koala bear hug, okay?

However, before he could even complain, Samael already flew to the horizon. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Suo Fei feel dazed, but his eyes widened at the beautiful scene that greeted his eyes.

Looking from up above, the night scenery of the Dragon Valley came into view.

The fluorescent leaves swayed lightly, rippling slightly like an ocean of stars. It could easily relax someone’s soul.

Suo Fei stared at it in a daze. He suddenly raised his head slightly and happened to meet Samael’s gaze.

Under the glow of the vast expanse of fluorescence below, Samael’s appearance had a gentleness that he didn’t usually have. His pair of eyes had deep affection that was not the least bit concealed. Suo Fei silently stared back at him. This feeling that the other person only had him in his eyes was extremely heartwarming.

He grinned and leaned closer to kiss Samael. Then, he foolishly said, “Samael, you’re so good-looking. You’re the most good-looking person I’ve ever seen. No matter how much I look, I can’t look enough…”

He had yet to finish speaking when his mouth was blocked. Suo Fei’s eyes squinted and he climbed onto Samael, enjoying the kiss that turned his mind into mush.

Inside a treehouse.

Hull had disappeared and Salvag had turned into Hull’s appearance. He looked at the beautiful man who had jadeite green hair and emerald green eyes in the mirror and smiled faintly. His expression was flamboyant and wilful, which was an expression that wholly belonged to Sal.

He frowned and said to the blue-haired man beside him, “Summer, adjust the expression.”

“Yes, master.”

After a while, Sal smiled again, but it was very different. It was a very soft smile. His jadeite eyes were gentle but there was a slight melancholy between his eyebrows.

“There’s really nothing to be said about Hull’s face.”

He was thinking out loud and wasn’t asking for a response. He tried on many more expressions in the mirror and found that he was able to copy him exactly. Then, he turned to the blue-haired man and asked, “How can I completely occupy his consciousness?”

Summer answered calmly, “The host’s resistance is extremely strong. It would be difficult to occupy it within a short period of time. However, if you proceed without taking the host’s mentality into consideration, we could speed up the process.”

This would cause great damage to Hull’s brain. Sal frowned and said “Nevermind. Slow down. I forbid you from causing any harm to Hull.”

“Yes, master.”

“How long would it take in this case?”

“It should be done by tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow morning?” Sal muttered to himself before saying, “Alright, the timing is just right.”

“First, tell me about the memories that you’ve already obtained.”

“Yes, master.”

After a while, Sal narrowed his eyes, “Resurrection artifact? He wants to resurrect Vixanne Evans, Grantlyn’s wife? He’s really restless, huh.”

He didn’t continue talking to Summer but took out a crystal ball from his interspatial bag instead. He stored a short piece of information in it, pasted a teleportation talisman on it and threw it out.

He watched as the crystal ball disappeared into the night sky then his mouth hooked up into a smile, “I’ll wait for the good show.”

When the crystal ball disappeared in the Dragon Valley, it appeared in the Demon Realm not long after.

Grantlyn stretched out his hand to catch the crystal ball and the information within it was instantly transmitted to him. His eyes narrowed briefly then he headed towards the Demon Palace.

Linde had just returned from the Beastkins’ territory. His negotiation with Harris had not gone smoothly. The King of the Beastkins was still very young but his IQ was extremely high. Moreover, others would be at a loss as to what to do because of his tactfulness. His obstinate nature was truly not a Beastkin’s trait.

When Grantlyn showed up, Linde was talking to someone else. When he saw Grantlyn, he waved his hand and the person got up and left.

There was no one else in the great hall so Linde asked, “What is it?”

Grantlyn directly threw the crystal ball, “I’ve received news from Bran. He had found the whereabouts of the resurrection artifact and the Transmogrifier.”

When Linde heard this, his eyes lit up as he asked, “Where is it?”

Grantlyn answered, “Dragon Valley.”

“Dragon Valley? Isn’t that place…”

“It had been unsealed.”

“Your precious son is truly remarkable.”

Grantlyn didn’t speak, but Linde smilingly continued, “Since the seal had been lifted, what else are we waiting for?”

“Summon all troops! We must obtain both artifacts this time!”

After having a good night’s sleep, Suo Fei woke up early the next day, but Hull had yet to come over. He anxiously wanted to pound on their door, but he didn’t dare. What should he do if he offended him by chance?

He had already waited for a long time so such a short time wouldn’t make much difference. Suo Fei consoled himself in this manner. He would definitely resurrect Vixanne today no matter what!

As he thought of this, he ran to the kitchen and prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Then, he waited for Hull to wake up.

He had discovered Hull’s preferences yesterday, so he poured all his heart cooking breakfast. He roasted tender and crispy mushrooms and made a vegetable omelette. He also prepared warm and steaming berry sago dessert. The dishes looked utterly heartwarming and delightful.

When he finished preparing, Hull finally arrived. Hull seemed to be much better after having a night’s rest, but was still a little tired. He had consumed too much so how could he completely recover from just a night’s sleep?

Hull greeted Samael and Suo Fei. When he saw the breakfast, a faint smile crossed his face and he said to Suo Fei, “Thank you.”

Suo Fei waved his hand. He waited for Hull to eat to his satisfaction so that they could begin resurrecting Vixanne.

Hull didn’t say much and went straight to the point after having his meal.

“Do you have a medium to resurrect Vixanne?”

Suo Fei nodded and took the memory orb from Samael, “This memory orb is the last thing that she had left behind.”

Hull looked at it and nodded as he said, “This is the best medium we could use.”

Suo Fei had carefully kept this memory orb all this time. He didn’t pa.s.s it to Hull. Although he believed that Hull wanted to help him, he still wished to do the matter himself as he didn’t want any accident.

“What else do I need to prepare?”

Hull said, “That’s all. Come, give me the resurrection artifact.”

Suo Fei refused and said, “Tell me the method and I will do it.”

Hull’s eyes narrowed, “You don’t believe me? I already gave you the artifact so how could I still go back on my words?”
