Chapter 737 Aegis Of The Arctic Deity Shocking Identity

"Using the last of his strength, our god commanded the trees and greenery to grow amidst the snowy landscape, creating a sanctuary for our survival. Even though this world was fertile, it still strained his weakened body, further bringing him half a step across to death's door."

High King Eldric paused a storm of emotions flickering in his eyes before he closed them, inhaling and exhaling deeply as if to regain his composure.

"As such, unsure of how long he could survive, he chose the only course available to a god for his children - sacrifice. He used the last of his remaining powers to heal all those still alive, formed a protective shield around the sanctuary, and ensured its continued prosperity even after his death," he continued solemnly.

"However, before his death, he entrusted the only items he had left to the sole remaining divine apostle of the Pixie race to safeguard us and our new home."

As Orion listened again, he couldn't help but find himself amazed; his ears peeled to digest every word that High King Eldric uttered into his heart. Though he had heard details about the 'Great War' from Queen Selene and Aerialia, the accounts never failed to astonish him.

His heart pounded furiously this time as he absorbed High King Eldric's last sentence.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he asked, "Can you explain how this relates to your desire to meet with Aegis of the Arctic?" His gaze remained fixed on High King Eldric.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Although Orion had his suspicions, he refrained from jumping to conclusions, preferring to await High King Eldric's explanation before concluding his judgment.

High King Eldric held his gaze on Orion. "The two items that god Aerendir left behind before his death were two Divine artefacts, one of them is the 'Aquiluis Clear Water,' and the other is 'The Golden Threads of god Aerendir.' The Divine Apostle he entrusted them to was 'Oberon,' whom you now know as the 'Aegis of the Arctic Deity,'" High King Eldric replied.

BOOMMM!!! BOOOOMM!! BOOOMMM!!!

Even though Orion had already guessed this point when he heard High King Eldric's previous words, hearing it confirmed still caused his mind to reel and revert to normal as he attempted to absorb such a revelation.

Orion gradually calmed down his beating heart as he finally understood why High King Eldric desperately wanted to meet with Aegis of the Arctic Deity and why he didn't want to reveal his reasons to him.

It turned out that this meeting involved two divine artefacts, both of which were held by someone of a similar race, who had been alive since the 'Great War' and was within their reach but still unreachable.

"Though he communicates with us, providing us with several

tidbits of advice, he always remains silent whenever we

deviate towards such a conversation. We have tried several

ways to meet with Aegis of the Arctic Deity face to face, but

all our attempts failed. With no other hopes, we gave up and

continued our task of taking care of the Garden."

"Then, you suddenly appear out of nowhere and can meet and

speak with him as you desire; other times, he even summons

you willingly. As the descendant of the Previous High Kings of

the Pixie race, after more than 7,500 years, I hope you now

understand why we desperately want to meet with the Aegis

words when he said the Pixie race would willingly be at his

disposal if he helped them with this request.

Orion inwardly frowned. Despite understanding High King

Eldric's explanation, he realized the complexity of the

situation was far beyond his initial expectations. While he

hadn't initially wanted more information about Aegis of the

Arctic Deity, especially his true identity, he couldn't help but

ponder again if introducing them to Aegis of the Arctic Deity

was a wise idea given the dangerous state of their territory.

The last thing he wanted was to jeopardize his relationship

with the god protecting them from the Vylkr vines —

particularly as Aegis of the Arctic Deity was the only living god

he knew of.

Orion's frown deepened as he furrowed his brow, lost in deep

thought, contemplating the decision he needed to make.

Observing Orion's expression, High King Eldric couldn't help

but sigh. "Mr Orion, can you please share your decision? Will

you continue with the tasks?" he asked, awaiting Orion's

response.

Hearing High King Eldric's voice, Orion snapped out of his

thoughts and focused on him. "Yes," he responded. "I've

already decided on this agreement and intend to fulfil it.

However, before I proceed with the second task, there is

something I would like to know first."
