Chapter 772 Patience
"What about the cities that you've built? Are you just going to abandon them like that?"
"No, I am not abandoning Orion's Cities. Several capable individuals are in charge of their development, so my absence will only allow them to showcase their potential," Orion responded.
Aegis of the Arctic Deity remained silent, realizing the seriousness of Orion's words. "Okay, then I want to see how long you will last. When you give up, let me know so I can take you out of here as quickly as possible," Aegis of the Arctic Deity responded.
The large pair of slitted golden eyes gradually dimmed within seconds before they vanished.
Orion summoned his miniature mountain and brought a mat and warm, comfy sheets to lie on. As for food, he had a Garden in his possession, so there was no need to worry.

The next day
The Princess of the Garden turned her attention to the side, sensing various familiar auras approaching.
Three figures approached her - High King Eldric and two High Elders, High Elder Larkin and High Elder Finn, all integral members of the High Court tasked with crucial decisions for the Pixie Kingdom.
"Princess," they greeted in unison, bowing respectfully.
Returning the nod, the Princess of the Garden reciprocated their greeting.
"Have the team you sent returned?" she asked curiously.
After receiving the news regarding the arrival of the Four-Eared Elves, she promptly dispatched a team of powerful, well-trained Pixies to investigate, with the agreement of High King Eldric, to gather information about the new race.

Village
Village Chief's Compound
"So Orion hasn't yet arrived at the Village?" The Village Chief said with a frown as he looked at Thak, who stood before him. Beside Thak, the Village Chieftess sat, handling some of the affairs that arrived yesterday evening.
Thak nodded. "Yes, Chief. We've sent a few warriors to his home this morning, and they said that Orion had gone to the Garden to take care of some very important matters. However, he hasn't returned since he left home yesterday," he responded.
The Village Chief nodded in understanding. Orion had already informed him beforehand that he had some important matters to handle before fully focusing on the Four-star Vylkr vines. Even though he wasn't aware of what it was, he hadn't expected that it would require his attention for an extended time.
'Is the Princess of the Garden about to give birth?' The Village Chief thought before he shook his head in response. If that were the case, they would have been informed beforehand, as that would be a significant event.
The Village Chief stood up from his seat. "I'll personally go to the Garden and check on his whereabouts. If he's busy, we will proceed as planned to take care of the four-star Vylkr vines. We can't keep waiting and risk the four-star Vylkr vines growing further. You two can continue taking care of the Village while I am away," he responded.
Village Chieftess Zara and Thak nodded in understanding as they watched the Village Chief leave his workroom with a concerned expression.
They were also concerned about the current situation but knew they still had things under control, so they weren't too worried and promptly returned to work.

Garden
The Village Chief entered the Garden and was immediately greeted by a lush expanse of green vegetation, accompanied by the Pixies. Soon, he encountered the Princess of the Garden, who approached him with a warm smile.
