Roy did not speak, his eyes slightly narrowed, examining the woman in front of him with an exploratory gaze.
Gu Shengyin still wore her gentle smile, waiting for their next words.
A knight behind Roy broke the silence.
This knight was the one who hesitated earlier, suggesting that this was the Domain of the Goddess of Nature. Gu Shengyin could see traces of white Power of Faith from him—clearly, this knight had faith.
"Lord Roy, perhaps we can let this Oracle give it a try," the knight said, looking at Roy with a pleading expression.
Their family had been believers of the divinities since childhood, and although they didn’t specifically worship the Goddess of Nature, he held great respect for this mighty Goddess in his heart.
He did not wish to see his group in conflict with the Oracle of the Goddess of Nature.
Roy frowned and glanced once more at the Oracle dressed in green robes before him. The woman maintained a calm smile, as if everything was under her control.
He gave an imperceptible nod.
The knight understood his aning, showing a hint of joy on his face as he approached Gu Shengyin and explained the situation to her in detail.
They were from the Lotte Empire, and this ti, a severe plague had suddenly erupted massively in the Sea Blue Province at the border of the Lotte Empire, causing heavy casualties among the populace.
The head of the Hainan Province exhausted all ans in vain and ultimately had to seek assistance from the Empire’s headquarters.
Unfortunately, the emissaries sent from the Empire’s capital still could not solve the problem.
Until soone suggested the rumor that the Elf of Nature, the Nine-Colored Deer, had the ability to expel all ominousness and plague, prompting them to co near the Green Light Forest to try their luck.
After finishing, the knight gazed sincerely at Gu Shengyin: "Esteed Oracle, our intention for the Nine-Colored Deer isn’t out of greed, nor do we an her harm..."
His words faltered under Gu Shengyin’s all-knowing gaze.
Still gentle, Gu Shengyin’s words left the knight speechless: "The Nine-Colored Deer symbolizes auspiciousness and luck. Her blood is the top-tier, precious elixir. If Xiao Jiu goes to a human city, can she truly return?"
The knight awkwardly lowered his head.
Indeed, a Divine Beast as precious as the Nine-Colored Deer would undoubtedly be a treasure in the human world. Especially her blood—a single drop consud by an ordinary person can prolong life, while martial artists and mages can ascend to higher levels.
In that case, even if they wished to protect the Nine-Colored Deer, could they really succeed?
Gu Shengyin spoke again: "It’s just a few minor plagues; I can go with you to take a look."
The knight was elated, but before he could say anything, Roy, who had been seated on his horse, spoke, his tone as cold as ever: "Can you guarantee solving the problem in Sea Blue Province?"
Gu Shengyin, hearing the evident doubt, did not get annoyed but smiled and said: "Whether I can solve it or not, you’ll see the outco soon after. But I can assure you, the problem you ntioned, Xiao Jiu cannot resolve."
The Nine-Colored Deer is an Auspicious Beast and indeed can purify ominousness and plague, but if it’s caused by human Dark Magic, the Nine-Colored Deer cannot handle it.
