Chapter 2823 - 1206: Like Father, Like Daughter (Part 3)

Chapter 2823: Chapter 1206: Like Father, Like Daughter (Part 3)

"Discuss it later." Gaven did not make any promises.

He had a faith link with Zalanda, so with her taking charge, he wouldn’t need to waste time.

Unless she needed him to make an appearance, like now.

Prince Harried was accustomed to Gaven’s attitude. All gods were like this; Gaven was considered reasonable, his humanity still dominant. If it were those with dominant divine nature, he might not even have the chance to meet them.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Prince Harried and his party activated the teleportation spell and left, preparing for the next step of their plan.

Although they did not receive a promise from Gaven, it did not mean they gave up on their plans to involve Laxian Stone City and Ruitawen City. This wasn’t just strengthening the Tesser Kingdom’s power but also dividing Zalanda’s forces.

They also planned to draw the elves of Veldas Forest and the demi-humans and gnomes of Samis Hills into the Governance Council.

However, the beautiful diplomat Helena tried her best, yet found obstacles everywhere.

In Ruitawen, she did not even get to meet Lord Raymond; it was said he had already taken a convoy of over a thousand trucks to trade in the Amm Kingdom’s capital Ascatera, with no set return date.

In Veldas Forest, she couldn’t even find a way in, floating over the forest for half a day without seeing a single elf or the fabled forest plain, let alone the Crownbearers of the forest.

In Laxian Stone City, she did meet the Great Druid Immelvin, but only received a neutral response. As a city connecting the Tesser Kingdom and Amm Kingdom, if they showed too much political bias, they would easily be targeted by the other side. Remaining neutral was the best course of action.

The attitude was most enthusiastic among the demi-humans and gnomes of Samis Hills, who gave her the highest reception, but when it came to substantive issues, they were vague and did not respond directly.

Hints revealed that they hoped Zalanda would help construct the Dasawei Highway, linking Veldas Forest, Samis Hills, and Darama City together; that would be their future.

At this moment, the beautiful diplomat finally realized that the stability of the alliance between Zalanda and these allies far exceeded their expectations.

Because what bound them was never a simple promise but interests, absolute interests.

Unless they could offer greater interests, they had no chance to sow discord; otherwise, they would always be in step with Lord Zalanda, sharing honor and disgrace.

Competing in road construction with a territory protected by the Road Demigod was an impossible task.

After some discussion, they reached a consensus and concluded that these territories could only be viewed as influence radiation territories of Lord Zalanda.

In considering Zalanda’s power, they must also be counted within.

Not just here, but also far away in the Giant Plains where Colossus City and Blood Gorge City were, places Gaven had personally built, where external forces could hardly penetrate, like being in a wartime mist, Prince Harried’s party had very limited understanding of the war potential and resources there.

It was only known that Colossus City seemed to have an endless supply of Dwarf Steel Ingots, and Blood Gorge City had livestock that wouldn’t stop selling, with daily transaction amounts exceeding a hundred thousand gold coins, equivalent to a year’s taxes for some small villages.

In conclusion, the more understanding they gained about Zalanda, the heavier Prince Harried’s heart became, the more he understood the four dukes.

In confrontation with them, they fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, not just due to their own incompetence but because their opponents were too demonic, too powerful.

Even if they joined forces with the four dukes, they might not entirely suppress her.

To revive the Tesser Royal Family, it was a long and difficult road.

These are things to be discussed later; once Prince Harried’s party were sent away, Gaven’s thoughts were entirely focused on his daughter.

Gaven directly took Sylar from Zalanda into his arms, lifted her high with pride: "My daughter truly, she has inherited part of my divine ability..."

All power has a traceable path, including inheritance.

Sylar’s teleportation ability naturally comes from his road divinity, even the aura is exactly the same, making it seem so real that he cannot detect her teleportation.

"Giggle..." Sylar giggled, chubby little hands waving randomly in the air.

Though she had awakened transcendent power, in essence, she was still just a newborn barely half a month old; many actions were purely instinctive.

For example, the previous teleportation into the Political Hall might have been attracted by Gaven’s previous use of teleportation force, coming over to find her parents.

Meanwhile, Zalanda was already stepping out, reminding: "Who knows if those two little ones have also awakened their powers."

"Let’s go, let’s check them out together." Gaven treated his little daughter like a toy, letting her climb onto his arm without any effort.

He was far from the clumsy state he was when first encountering them; these little ones were way sturdier than he had imagined.

The more he tossed them around, the more they liked it.

The three girls, including Sylar, also treated Gaven’s hand as a toy, chubby little hands and feet moving back and forth like treading water, playing joyfully.

"Thanks to the blessings of the gods, the third young lady is unharmed..."

"It was our poor care of the third young lady; please punish us, City Lord!"

"It’s just that we watched helplessly as the third young lady disappeared before our eyes..."

In the nursery, the atmosphere was gloomy.

Gaven and Zalanda entered one after the other, and the maids knelt to the ground with many showing obvious cries.

Losing their little master was an absolute offense.

The lightest punishment would be losing their job; the harsher could threaten their lives.

Seeing Sylar lying on Gaven’s arm, many breathed a sigh of relief as it hadn’t led to irreparable consequences.

Zalanda waved and said, "This matter is not you guys’ fault, stand up."

"City Lord’s mercy," all maids praised in unison.

"Where are the eldest and second young ladies?" Zalanda inquired.
