Chapter 1127: Ignore it?
Chapter 1127: Ignore it?
After arriving at the capital of the Kite Kingdom, I was surprised to find that the captain of the airship didn't actually leave.
"We have been stationed here to transport you when necessary, holy son. If you need to go anywhere, please contact us at any time. Though from time to time, we will need to get more supplies from the empire to refuel the airship."
The last part of his words seemed like there was some kind of implication.
As if he wanted me to go with him back to the Holy Empire when they needed more supplies.
In a sense, this could be considered an exchange...
They were lending us this airship for the price of me heading to the Holy Empire from time to time.
However, the offer really was hard to refuse.
The airships were actually faster than the wyverns, which made it a good travel option when necessary. It was at least three times faster than the wyverns, which meant that it would save quite a bit of time when it was needed.
At the same time...
There was also a squad of holy knights that came with the airship.
These were elites just like the ones that had defended the room with the Crown of Wisdom, so they would be a good group of reinforcements if necessary. At the same time, they would also be able to help Klein and the other royal guards train.
So it was killing two birds with one stone.
"Alright, I accept your offer." That was all I could say in response to the captain of the airship who only introduced himself as Chris after I accepted the deal.
He and the captain of the knight who was known as Leon followed me into the castle where I met with the prime minister and the chancellor.
If it was just the three of us, we would have gone to the royal study.
But since Chris and Leon were here, we went to the throne room instead.
The Holy Empire had information that was beyond what we knew since their information network was much more developed than ours. That was just how it was when considering the difference in length that our nations had existed for.
The prime minister and chancellor were able to learn quite a bit about the distribution of the demon army from Chris and Leon.
Once they learned all of this and had a map set up, they looked at me to ask, "Do we help or do we ignore them?"
I knitted my brows slightly and didn't answer this question as I looked at the map.
After a long silence, I said, "No, we won't help them."
The prime minister and chancellor were surprised to hear this, but they slowly nodded in agreement.
It wasn't as if they didn't understand why I said this, but there was a bit of a strange look on their faces after hearing this. It was as if there was a part of them that had wanted to do something for these countries.
For once, it wasn't because they wanted to take their land and fold them into the grasps of our Kite Kingdom. Instead, it was because they wanted to do something for the human race.
We were all human kingdoms and now that we were being invaded by the demons, they still felt that it was their duty to do something for these human kingdoms.
I knew what they were thinking, so I turned to Chris and Leon to ask, "What is the Holy Empire and the other three empires planning to do?"
The two of them were surprised to hear this, but then Chris answered, "We will do the same thing that we've always done. We will send reinforcements to the countries that were invaded and push back the demons."
I gave a nod in response to this before saying, "Then that buys us some time. I need to make the best use of this time."
Chris and Leon both knitted their brows when they heard this.
They didn't seem happy to hear what I said since it was almost as if I was saying that the four empires would fail in repelling the demon race. However, they chose not to say anything since they wanted to see what else I had to say.
The prime minister and chancellor just looked at me as if they were waiting for me to say something.
With how long they've known me, they already knew that I had some kind of plan in mind.
I didn't waste any time as I said, "I'm heading back to the Land of Giants."
At this, the prime minister and chancellor frowned while Chris and Leon had confused looks since they had no idea what I meant by this.
I looked at them and said, "Do you remember the prophecy?"
The prime minister and chancellor revealed confused looks along with Chris and Leon.
With a faint smile, I said, "Do you remember the part about gathering the pieces of power from the various gods?"
They still had confused looks on their faces as they didn't really understand what I was saying.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
I waved my hand at Chris and Leon to come over to the throne. The two of them had confused looks on their faces as they walked over, but they still came over to stand in front of him. Then I had them raise their hands before reaching out with the Staff of Earth.
The two of them were shocked when I dropped the Staff of Earth and it fell right through their hands.
As high ranking members of the Holy Empire, they naturally knew what this phenomenon
was.
As for the prime minister and the chancellor, they had looks of understanding slowly appear on their faces.
I explained to Chris and Leon, "This is a relic from Terra, the god of earth that I received from the dwarves."
After hearing this, they also slowly understood what I was implying with this.
The prime minister was the one that put it in words when he said, "Then you're saying the
giants..."
I slowly gave a nod in response.
Everyone had serious looks on their faces when they saw this.
