Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 734 The Two Challenges (2)

?The Princess of the Garden’s frown deepened. She knew that High King Eldric was right; if he had disclosed all this information before they arranged the meeting, she wouldn’t have bothered to arrange it.

However, she couldn’t help but sigh; since they were already here, she could only listen to whatever decision Orion wanted to make.

The Princess of the Garden translated High King Eldric’s words to Orion.

Upon hearing the Princess of the Garden’s translation, Orion frowned deeply. From this alone, he understood that doing his best to meet with the Pixies was the wisest decision at the moment to uncover the identity of the Aegis of the Arctic Deity, which would consequently provide him with more information about Naka’s identity.

Although he had no issues with taking care of the Garden for a day and experiencing what the Guardians of the Garden go through, as it was an understandable request after his unintentional attempts to destroy the Garden, as for taking them to see Aegis of the Arctic Deity, Orion was curious about their reasons for wanting to meet him.

Despite being suspicious of Aegis of the Deity’s words and where he stands, he currently had a good relationship with Aegis of the Arctic Deity, the only living god he knew of and responsible for protecting the Orion Cities and the Village. And that was something he didn’t want to ruin at the moment.

Therefore, he would only want to introduce them to Aegis of the Arctic Deity once he knew their reasons.

“I see no issue with the first task. However, before I can accept the second task, I need to hear your reasons for wanting to see the Aegis of the Arctic Deity,” Orion responded.

High King Eldric shook his head in response, “I’m sorry, Mr Orion, but I cannot provide you with that information for now, at least. However, you can rest assured that it wouldn’t anger the god or harm the relationship between you both,” he responded.

As the Princess of the Garden finished translating his words, Orion exhaled deeply. He shook his head, “If that’s the case, then I’m sorry, High King Eldric, but unless you tell me your reasons for wanting to meet Aegis of the Arctic Deity, this will not work. It seems coming here was a mistake,” Orion responded, shaking his head.

High King Eldric gritted his teeth in frustration when he heard Orion’s words. “Are you sure about this, Mr Orion? I can promise you that if these two tasks are completed, we will not only reconcile our relationship with each other, but also the Pixie race will be very much at your disposal,” he responded in frustration.

Hearing High King Eldric’s words, the Princess of the Garden exhaled deeply.

Orion shook his head in response, “Since it seems this meeting was a waste of time, I’ll take my leave then. Unfortunately, I have other important matters to attend to,” he said before he turned around and walked away.

The Princess of the Garden shifted her attention towards High King Eldric, “High King Eldric, is there no way you can explain the reason why you want to meet with Aegis of the Arctic Deity to us, or better yet, change the task to something else?” she asked, furrowing her brows in confusion with a frown on her face as she didn’t want Orion and the Guardians of the Garden to be at odds with each other, considering her relationship with both sides.

High King Eldric held back his frustration and anger the moment he heard the Princess of the Garden’s words because, from her voice, he could tell that she wasn’t pleased with how the discussion had unfolded.

Understanding that this could strain their relationship, he realized they needed to resolve the issue quickly to avoid further complications. Since there was a chance this meeting might not occur again in the future, he didn’t want to risk damaging their relationship any further. .

High King Eldric gritted his teeth even more before abruptly dropping his shoulders low and exhaling in defeat, “Stop!” he shouted, gesturing towards the Pixies behind him to move forward and block Orion’s path.

Several Pixies shot forward and immediately stood before Orion’s path like a wall, blocking him from advancing further.

“What’s going on? I thought we had already established that this meeting was over,” Orion asked as he turned to look at High King Eldric and the rest of the Pixies.

The Princess of the Garden was also about to speak. Still, High King Eldric immediately interrupted, “Okay, I’ll tell you why we want to meet with Aegis of the Arctic Deity,” he responded, sighing deeply.

Though the Princess of the Garden was surprised byHigh King Eldric’s sudden change of heart, it didn’t mean she wasn’t pleased. She nodded in approval and gestured for Orion to come closer before she translated High King Eldric’s words to him.

Orion inwardly smiled. Truthfully, he hadn’t walked away in anger or disappointment but had only done so because after finding out the Pixies desperately wanted to meet Aegis of the Arctic Deity but had no way to without his help, he understood that sooner or later, they would seek him out for his assistance.

Nonetheless, it seemed like High King Eldric was not foolish enough to let such an opportunity pass him, which he appreciated.

“You can go on, I’ll listen,” Orion responded.

High King Eldric nodded, “For us to properly explain everything to you, we must complete the process to communicate perfectly with each other. However, after we do that and explain why we want to meet with the Aegis of the Arctic Deity, you cannot refuse the task. If not, everything would be a waste, especially since we must expose one of our Pixie race’s most closely guarded secrets,” he responded.

The Princess of the Garden nodded and translated for Orion. At this point, she was satisfied with how High King Eldric handled the situation.

As for whether Orion must accept to carry out the two tasks after he had gone through the process and listened to everything that High King Eldric had to say, she wanted to refrain from intervening.
