Capítulo 508: Act 4 Letter (4) (Double request for next month’s tickets, 2nd update)
“Wait a mont,” Andrew interrupted as he saw Brand speaking eloquently, “Lord, what do you an by saying Valhalla has always existed in this forest?”
“Just as the words imply on the surface,” Brand replied.
The Druid Elder shook his head, “Impossible,” he said firmly, “If Valhalla were in the forest, we would have noticed—” Suddenly, Andrew beca wary, realizing that Brand might be trying to lead him on, as they originally ca only for Funiya. But without being careful, he had already said so much, so of it even touching on the core content of Niya’s oracle. He paused, and abruptly stopped: “Lord, let’s get back to the original topic!”
But Brand just shook his head, “We’ve always been talking about the main issue,” he replied, “Since Funiya has given full authority over this matter, if you can’t persuade , don’t even think about taking her a step out of this territory.” He saw Andrew raise his eyebrows wanting to speak, but cut him off coldly: “No more unnecessary words, I know just as much about you Druids as you know about yourselves.” Brand declared coldly, “Whether it’s Forest Tracking Technique or lt into Stone, I have ways to pull you out. You can try if you like.”
Upon hearing Brand ntion those two spells, Andrew abandoned the idea of forcibly taking Funiya away. Mortals’ understanding of Druids was very superficial, but this young man in front of him was clearly an exception. If he could clearly state his thoughts, it must not be re intimidation. He hesitated for a mont, then said, “Then what do you an, my Lord? We’ve made our stance very clear. I think you should be able to believe everything we’ve said, even to the point of swearing in the na of Lord Niya—we have no intention of harming Miss Funiya, but only to take her to complete the necessary ritual to beco a Druid.”
“You don’t want to ignite Valhalla’s Torch?” Brand asked.
The three Druids were montarily struck speechless.
“What exactly do you an, Lord?” The young man called Red, who had been eager to speak, finally spoke up, “Of course we want to ignite Valhalla’s Torch. It is one of our main goals in monitoring the magical influences on natural boundaries in the Black Forest. Druids also worship Lord Martha, and it’s sothing we’ve adhered to for ages.” He replied, “But forgive , Lord, I don’t quite understand what you an.”
“My aning is simple,” Brand replied, “Valhalla has always been in the forest!” He looked at Funiya and suddenly realized, “I understand now, perhaps you have a misconception. In fact, the so-called opening of the Forest Saintess I ntioned does not an igniting the Torch, but rather enabling a part of Valhalla’s abilities.” The young man paused here, leaned back comfortably in his chair with an amused expression, and intertwined his index fingers as he said, “Let’s make a deal.”
“What kind of deal?”
“Help find Valhalla, and I will ignite the Torch for you—” Brand answered each word deliberately.
“Hence you beco the natural Lord of Valhalla as a Pioneer Knight?” Andrew looked at the young man, realizing for the first ti his true intentions: “Actually, this proposal is not unacceptable, we Druids have no desire for power, but,” he changed his tone, “I still must reiterate, Valhalla is not in the forest, it’s only a legend.”
Brand shook his head, “Alright, let’s change the terms. I don’t want you to help find Valhalla,” he replied, “I want you to go deep into the forest and help find so ruins.”
“Ruins?”
Are there ruins in the forest?
Red suddenly whispered, “Elder, was it not last ti we discovered those ruins on the outskirts of the Wind Ring?”
Andrew suddenly realized, he raised his head and stared at Brand, questioning, “Are you sure those ruins are Valhalla? But I have seen those ruins with my own eyes, and they are nothing but a scattered, broken wreckage. That humans have left town relics in the Black Forest multiple tis is a normal occurrence. But we have thoroughly searched the area where the ruins are, and found nothing related to the Torch.”
Brand listened, verifying in his mind. He asked, “The Wind Ring you ntioned, is it the monsoon corridor surrounding the Kalanja Mountain Range?”
