Chapter 951: Chapter 523: Adults Are More Familiar with This Matter

After Radiad finished speaking, the vines descended, and this piece of information was relayed back to the Sorcerer Alliance. Lainas immediately began analyzing it, "He’s under control, but it’s not mental or soul control. A garland? What is that? Does anyone know what the God of Life’s garland is?"

Cabrela responded, "We know about as much as you do. The garland might just be a symbol. A being like the God of Life has a thousand ways to kill him, but how can you be sure he hasn’t been controlled mentally or spiritually?"

"Because he told me not to move his things anymore. Those are words that only he would say. If he were under mental and soul control, he wouldn’t speak in that tone. He wants to tell me that although his body is controlled, his soul isn’t," Lainas explained.

Cabrela breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, that’s good. If his soul isn’t controlled, there’s still a chance to save him. I was afraid the God of Life, like the Undead, could manipulate souls. That would be troublesome."

"But the God of Life hasn’t mentioned how to release him, not even the conditions. Could it be that Anthony didn’t convey our intentions?" Lainas wondered aloud.

Cabrela shook his head. "More likely, the God of Life doesn’t need our compensation. Don’t forget, in the legends of the Divine Realm, whenever the God of Life is mentioned, it’s often followed by ’it’s part of nature.’ It’s holding Radiad there just to prevent the Starburst Array from blasting it."

A slow voice spoke up, "Should we then redirect the Starburst Array to threaten it to release him?"

Following the voice, they saw a solitary high-necked cloak floating there, the brim of its hood pressed low, completely covering the face, making it unclear whether it was a person or some other creature.

Leixinna immediately responded, "No way, are you trying to threaten the God of Life or get Radiad killed? If the Starburst Array is deployed, no one would survive."

The cloak creature spoke leisurely, "We could unleash the Faith Storm and erase its divine status."

Cabrela shook his head, "The God of Life is not a god; it is a tree more powerful than gods, so it’s only referred to as a god by the species it shelters."

"Oh, a totem then. In that case, there’s nothing we can do. We will just have to wait for Radiad to die of old age before we take action," the cloak creature said slowly and then turned and drifted away.

It was not until he had drifted far away that Leixinna muttered under his breath, "Damn it, this Hayden is becoming less and less humane."

Cabrela spread his hands and said nothing, but continued the previous topic, "If we can’t use the Starburst Array to threaten it, then we must find something it’s interested in to exchange for Radiad. Tell me, what could interest a tree?"

Leixinna, with a headache, said, "What could it be interested in? It’s not likely to be interested in the opposite sex, and even if it were, we couldn’t possibly find another Tree of Life. Power, status, food, entertainment, all are unlikely; it’s probably most interested in fertilizer, I guess."

Cabrela slapped his thigh, "Exactly, that’s it."

"Which? Fertilizer?" Leixinna was astonished.

"Not sure about fertilizer, but fertile land certainly interests it, right? We could use fertile land to exchange for Radiad," Cabrela suggested.

"Fertile land? Would that work? This place used to be the Northern Wind Desert, but look now; it’s miles of fertile land with forests growing all over. Everywhere it goes becomes fertile land. Does it still need to trade?" Leixinna questioned.

Cabrela suddenly became less confident and hesitated, "Well, shall we try? We’ll find a place not covered by the Starburst Array, so it doesn’t have to worry about us blasting it and can peacefully return Radiad."

"Is there such a place?" Leixinna was surprised.

"Do you remember the Broken Star Mountains on the edge of the Dead Line?" Cabrela asked.

On the brink of death, there was a high mountain range whose peaks, due to their angle, almost intersected the tangential point of the Starburst Array, making the other side of the mountain range unable to see the Starburst Array.

The towering mountain range blocked the Starburst Array; however, it did not reach the death line, so the large expanse of wilderness between the death line and the mountain range became an area neither threatened by Star Burst Magic nor within the death line.

"Is it there? Shall we try?"

The airship, upon receiving the order, quickly descended to relay the message. Initially approaching with a tentative attitude, Radiad was unexpectedly released on the spot.

After a thorough inspection, it was confirmed that Radiad was fine physically, mentally, and spiritually. Even the garland around his neck was gone, but it seemed he had forgotten something—all the memories from the moment he touched down to when he was lifted into the air by vines and declared ’all right’ were missing.

"It seems the God of Life erased your memories of that period," Cabrela said.

Lainas asked worriedly, "Will there be any side effects?"

Cabrela replied, "There shouldn’t be any, my Eye of Truth doesn’t see anything harmful."

Lainas felt much more relieved; if even Cabrela’s Eye of Truth saw nothing, then it was highly likely there was nothing.

Radiad nodded. "I don’t feel anything amiss either. With Divine Power’s protection, it couldn’t do more than that. That’s fine, I need to go back down."

"What? Go back down? Are you mad? We just rescued you with great difficulty, and you want to go back?" Lainas said.

"Yes, I want to go back. In fact, it wasn’t you who rescued me; they let me go. The compensation you offered didn’t interest the God of Life at all; wherever it is, that place is fertile ground. Also, do you remember the plan I told you about? Everything I need is there," Radiad said earnestly, staring at Lainas.

Lainas gasped, "Everything?"

"Yes, everything," Radiad nodded emphatically.

Cabrela, dissatisfied, said, "What are you playing at with these riddles? After all the effort I’ve put into saving you, you play riddles in front of me?"

Radiad, apologetically, bowed and said, "I’m very sorry, Eye of Truth, but since it involves privacy, I can’t reveal it to you. Please don’t take it personally."

"Hmph, then I don’t care anymore," Cabrela said as he floated away with a flick of his hand.

Radiad patted Lainas on the shoulder and then floated out, leaping towards the valley below.

Lainas was left in disarray. After all that trouble and wasting a Holy Light Singularity and a fertile plain, he got nothing in return? Wasn’t that too much of a loss?

Back at the Life Sacred Pool, there was only Lord Durken left; Lainas couldn’t remember anyone else ever being there, only Lord Durken.

"Lord Durken, I’m back. The materials? Give me the materials quickly. If I can resurrect my teacher, the Sorcerer Alliance will then have two powerful Annihilation Warlocks," Radiad said impatiently.

Durken fetched the prepared materials and then smiled indifferently, thinking to himself: Failure is not an issue; turn to the master. Rebirth is more the master’s expertise. A single realm cannot contain two Skeleton Lords, but I wonder if a Sorcerer Alliance can contain two Annihilation Warlocks?
