God of Tricksters

Chapter 1528 Friendship

Theo and the Frost Saint smiled at each other. There was a strange friendship that was formed over the fight.

However, the Frost Saint that Theo had become significantly weaker due to excessive usage of his power, the power that he had just learned. Even Theo would have a hard time using that power, so the heavy toll on his body caused the blood to come out of his eyes, nose, and mouth.

Hence, the Frost Saint said, “Why don’t you rest for a bit?”

“Indeed. I might need to trouble you for a day to recover.” Theo chuckled.

“Haha, it’s fine, it’s fine.” The Frost Saint didn’t mind having Theo over since he had a few things to talk about.

Theo then dropped to the ground with a satisfied smile. He was truly happy with the realization he had during the fight.

“Authority, huh…” Theo raised his hand as if trying to grasp the sky.

“Still, you’re talking about laws. Do you think you can finish it easily?”

“I’m not sure. The laws are more complex than you think. The laws are created for generations, and after one generation, they often don’t work anymore. So, it’s truly a challenge to finish this law.”

“Then, are you planning to find another way to get the Authority?”

“No way. I’m going to set up my law. I’ll compress the time just by making a general law. But even with that, I might need a year or so to make sure it’s not flawed.”

“I see. I don’t have any piece of advice for you.”

“I know. I can kinda understand now why you can’t tell me anything about Authority. Authority is different than Order.” Theo closed his eyes with a smile, recalling the talk with the Lightning Saint. “The Lightning Saint once told me that if you want to get an Authority, you have to defeat all Kings with the same Order.

“I didn’t think much back then, but now that I have crossed my path with you, I can understand it. There is only a single Authority and zero Order. In other words, I shall be the sole owner of that Authority because I’m above the law. If there is someone who sets up a different law, it will cause a huge claw in the Order, causing the disruption.

“However, the Lightning Saint took a disciple a few years ago. So, I realized that the Lightning Order that she had was based on the Lightning Saint’s Authority. As long as the Lightning Saint is still alive, no one will be able to influence the ‘laws’ he has set up. This is the reason why I should search for my own path to Authority. The originality.”

“Yes. Even if it’s different, you should be the one to understand it. For example, if I tell you all this information before you reach this conclusion, my words will influence you, disrupting your originality. You don’t want your ‘law’ to be affected by the ‘Frost Law,’ right?”

“Yeah, you’re right. Thank you, Frost Saint. Without your help, I won’t be able to realize all this.” Theo smiled.

“Haha, I guess we can call it even.”

Theo remembered that the Frost Saint once owed him for helping him to fix the space distortion caused by the half-broken structure that maintained the two sides.

Now that the debt had been repaid, their relationship had returned to zero, allowing them to form a purer friendship.

Even Theo had a big smile on his face. “You’re right!”

Theo thought for a moment and asked, “Since we’re a neighbor now, do you have anything you want to say to me?”

The Frost Saint hesitated for a moment. He never expected Theo to be this direct, but he was also thankful since he didn’t have to hold back.

His expression turned serious as his tone became more polite. “I do have something I want to say. If possible, I do wish that you could leave my territory alone. I mean, don’t bother fighting against my subjects.”

“Aside from me, no humans can level up anymore. And I won’t be leveling up in your territory, so you don’t have to worry about it.” Theo shook his head, assuring him.

“I see. That’s great then.”

“Though, I want to ask you. Do you mind if we can continue the friendly relationship between the two territories? Just like you, I’m also planning to make them get stronger. I even have two Kings in my place, and there might be more in the future. We can have them exchange their knowledge with each other.”

“Are you sure? I’m more worried about the fact that your people can’t live with us.”

“I’m sure they can.”

“I don’t mind if that’s the case. In fact, this might be a good opportunity. Humans and creatures like us have different views, so it might give birth to a unique strength… like our fight earlier.”

“Indeed. Though, I’m more worried about the future.”

“The future?”

“Yeah. When my time and your time have ended… What will happen after that?”

“You’re talking a bit far too long. Even with my body, I should be able to live for at least another few hundred years.”

“That’s true. I don’t know about my lifespan either since I’m planning to reach an even higher stage.” Theo smirked. “Either way, I hope that we can have a good relationship from now on.”

“Agreed.”

Theo and the Frost Saint continued talking for another few hours, discussing many things.

After their business had finished, Theo then started focusing on his recovery, especially his Order Energy and Magic Power.

It took him a whole day before he recovered to full health.

Theo stood in front of the Frost Saint, who insisted on seeing him off.

Theo waved his hand with a smile on his face. “Then, I’ll be off.”

“Yeah. Take care, Theodore Griffith, no, Theo.” The Frost Saint corrected himself, calling Theo by his nickname instead of his full name.

Theo nodded with a smile as he gradually walked away. “You too, Lastius.”
