Chapter 1034: 16.80 First Red Star - Beast G.o.d's Messenger
The rest of the people completely lost interest after the Great Elder, Tuya, took the lead. After what happened, even Leafy, the green-haired youth, and Bais.h.i.+, the white lion, were asked to return home. Meanwhile, Keylan Light and the others followed the Great Elder to her own home to continue their conversation. Despite her high status, this great elder lives in a simple house that is ideal for her to live alone.
Conri Lycaon looked around and discovered that the necessities in the room were only adequate for one person. There isn't even an extra slipper for a visitor. Not even another cup for the visitors. This evidence alone was sufficient to establish that the owner of this house lives alone. Furthermore, the location of this house is desolate. It is located between the main city and the forest.
"Do you leave alone, Grandma?" asked Amber Dawn politely.
This type of house arrangement is similar to her previous condominium unit. She didn't have any spare slippers because she didn't have any friends. He didn't even have a family to refill the fridge for her, so it was almost empty with only water and fruits inside. There are no traces of other people because she never had a lover to accompany her when she didn't want to be alone.
Great Elder Tuya responds, "Yes. Most of my family and friends had entered reincarnation. They can no longer remember who I am."
"Aren't you lonely?" Conri Lycaon asked.
The Great Elder smiles gently as if she was looking at her grandchildren and answers the young werewolf Monarch's question. "It would be a lie to say 'No'. Even the strongest person would feel lonely living alone on his own. But I'm okay. The people of the city would come to visit me every week at most. Children love to come over to this old woman's place. If not for them maybe I would have gone mad."
"Don't you have a mate?" Mayonaka Yoru asked. He was pinched by his lover after asking such a straightforward question.
The Great Elder Tuya answers, "None. After all, in this world, it is very hard to find your mate. You guys are truly lucky you have found yours. Plus, marriage in this world is permanent and blessed by the Beast G.o.d."
"Well then~ let's talk about something else. I might not be the strongest in this world but I can be someone considered as the messenger of the Beast G.o.d. Even though I look like this I'm also the oldest that is still alive in this world. So don't worry about your ident.i.ties being exposed before me. Outsiders from another world."
Esther Dawn said, "You knew all along. Or should I say it must be because of the wooden template in my younger brother's hand which those people revered upon sight? What is the significance of this wooden template?"
Carnelian Dawn placed the wooden template of the sun and moon in front of them on the table. Asher Light and the others couldn't see anything special about the wooden insignia, but the Great Elder had a nostalgic look in her eyes when she saw the crest of the wooden plate. She appears happy as if remembering all the good times in the past.
Great Elder Tuya said, "It might be a bit hard to believe but our world used to be an extremely Primitive one. We are Beastman so we can change our form from human form to animal form. A bit similar to the two of your kinds. The crest on this wooden template is the original crest of this city's first tribe. The Sun and Moon Tribe, Solune."
"Solune Tribe can be said to be one of the strongest tribes in this world. This is because of the existence of three lords: the Young Tribe Leader, Lord Xuebao, his partner and the strongest warrior of our tribe, Lord Meizhou, and the Young Prophet, Lord Tuzi. They are the reason why this world has advanced to the current world."
"This wooden template only five people who existed before have it. One is the first president of our city Lord Tuzi and his two husbands. Second, is the original tribe leader and his protector, Lord Xuebao and Lord Meizhou. So I would like to ask, is the one who gave you this template a man with Ivy Crest or a Black Snowflake?"
Conri Lycaon remembered the crest that appeared on Lord Skoll's face when he threw this template at them that day. Only then did he realize that Lord Skoll might be one of the world's founders, a G.o.d-like existence as he is revered as such.
"Would answering this question give different results?" Conri Lycaon asked seriously, observing the smiling old lady in front of them.
The Great Elder Tuya says, "Yes, it would be determined what kind of help I can provide. Even among the Lords, there is a hierarchy."
"The person who gave us this called himself Lord Skoll. He has a black snowflake under the corner of his right eye." Carnelian Dawn said.
The Great Elder Tuya almost stopped breathing when she heard what Carnelian Dawn just said. She had only seen the first two Lords when she was young, and then one day they vanished along with Lord s.h.i.+zi and Lord Sheya, despite the fact that the little prince had vanished with them. Lord Tuzi said they went somewhere far away, but he didn't know where. When she becomes the Beast G.o.d's messenger, she asks the Beast G.o.d about Lord Xuebao and the rest.
The Beast G.o.d only said that they went back to where they originally came from. Only then did she realize that the reason why Lord Xuebao and Lord Meizhou are so omnipotent and omniscient is because they are reincarnated G.o.ds. G.o.ds that descended to their world and helped them pa.s.s through their tribulations. During the continuous snowstorm, it was Lord Xuebao and Lord Meizhou who found them a cave to escape the disaster.
It was also this pair who had warned the neighboring tribe, with whom they had a close relations.h.i.+p, about the Avalanche, as well as helped cure the frostbites and provide a.s.sistance at the appropriate time. She couldn't forget the day Lord Xuebao erected a large barrier that keeps the Snow Storm at bay and protects them even while he is still pregnant with the little prince. Tuya has regarded those two as G.o.ds on par with the Beast G.o.d in her heart ever since.
She was ecstatic when she discovered that the original owner of the wooden template was possibly Lord Meizhou or Lord Xuebao. Those people are her G.o.ds and heroes, and they are discovering that they are alive. Maybe they are G.o.ds after all, as she expected, a powerful one that transcends Immortality.
The Great Elder asks, "Can I ask if the man who gave you this template is a playful beauty with a pair of silver eyes or a cold dangerous man with black eyes?"
"But Lord Skoll's eyes are crimson, not black..." Carnelian Dawn said.
Asher Light mumbled, "Speaking of silver eyes, Instructor Skoll is always beside Headmaster Ca.s.sius who has that pair of eyes."
The Great Elder named Tuya realized that this Lord Skoll is possibly the Lord Meizhou and this Headmaster Ca.s.sius is Lord Xuebao in her memories.
"Are they always together? Like inseparable perhaps?" Tuya asked.
Keylan Light asks, "How did you know? Wait! Are they really the founders of this land then? Impossible! Doesn't that make them G.o.ds going around different worlds for a certain reason?"
"I didn't know about it before. This time Lord Ye said he is looking for the soul of his wife which is Lord Ca.s.sius of our world." Mikaela who had been silent the whole time spoke up. He even mentioned Lord Skoll's name unconditionally.
Keylan Light asked, "Lord Ye?"
"Sovereign Ruler Ye Xiajie. He is the G.o.d using the vessel of Fenrir Skoll. He is from the Main World. The Highest ranked World, Vearth. They supervise the lower worlds and our world happens to be under their jurisdiction. You will learn more next time I go to report I will bring you with me." Mikaela said.
Keylan Light asked, "Bring me where?"
"Vearth. The Land of G.o.ds and Immortals." Mikaela said.
The Beast G.o.d of this world had spoken, "Thy topic is int'resting. Wouldst thee prithee cometh ov'r and has't a conv'rsation with this beast G.o.d? oh G.o.d of the oth'r w'rld."
Translation: [Your topic is interesting. Would you please come over and have a conversation with this Beast G.o.d? Oh G.o.d of the other world.]
When the word 'Vearth' was mentioned, a voice from an unknown source resounds in the room. As soon as this voice was heard Tuya fell to her knees.
The Great Elder Tuya says, "This little one greets the Esteemed Beast G.o.d!"
Um!
The Heavenly Laws, Mikaela responded, "Possible. But mine own children shall beest protecteth by who is't?"
Translation: [Possible. But my children will be protected by who?]
The Beast G.o.d responded, "I can ensureth those gents shall beest unharm'd in this w'rld. But I shalt not receiveth involv'd in their trials bethought? Wouldst this suffice?"
Translation: [I can ensure they will be unharmed in this world. But I shall not get involved in their trials though. Would this suffice?]
Mikaela responded, "I concur! Giveth the co'rdinates I shalt wend."
Translation: [I agree! Give the coordinates I shall go.]
The Beast G.o.d spoke to his messenger and said, "Tuya, these children art h're to ent'r the trials of mates.h.i.+p. Thee giveth those folk the instructions and guidance f'r the trials. Once those gents hath pa.s.sed prepareth the c'remony f'r t."
Translation: [Tuya, these children are here to enter the Trials of Mates.h.i.+p. You will give them instructions and a guide for the trials. Once they pa.s.s, prepare the Ceremony for it.]
The Great Elder Tuya replied, "As you wish, Beast G.o.d!"
Mikaela talked to Keylan Light before he left, "Key, I will be gone for a while. The Heavenly G.o.d of this world had secured your and the children's safety except during the trials. Tuya here will be your guide. Listen to her well. I will be back soon." He disappeared after saying these words.
"W-Wait, where are you going!? Ah! At least let me finish talking!" Keylan Light said while sulking that Mikaela left abruptly just like that.
Based on their conversation alone, Tuya realized that Keylan Light had the same standing as she and that man whom he can't meet eyes with happens to be a G.o.d that is equal to the Beast G.o.d of their world.
The Great Elder Tuya approached Keylan Light and treated him as her peer, "Come. Come. Before I gave you the Instructions about the trial, why don't you let the children look around the city first? I will announce you guys as special guests so no one would harm you. And even send some guides to the children as they look around the place. By the way, what is your name, brother?"
"Keylan Light."
"Brother Key, can you drink?"
"Yeah. No problems."
"Good." She grabbed Keylan Light's shoulders and looked at the children. "I will borrow your elder for today. It will take a while for your rooms to be arranged. Why don't you guys play around the city for a bit? Those children from before I will ask them to guide you in the city. Your trials will begin tomorrow so relax for today. Go now."
Esther Dawn and Mayonaka Yoru took the initiative and prepared to leave as instructed.
They were given money to spend by the Great Elder. The rest of the group could only follow the elders' instructions and travel to the city. Tuya only had to wave her hand for the couches to be replaced with a table of wine and snacks as soon as the children left the house.
Tuya said, "Please have a seat. We can talk about the rest as we drink." She held a cup of wine for herself as he served a cup to her guest.
Keylan Light accepted it with a smile, "Okay. But did my Mikaela really meet your Beast G.o.d?"
"Yes, but Mikaela is the Heavens of your world, right? How come he has his own body?" Tuya asked, a bit interested.
Keylan Light answered, "That vessel... It's an Elemental Vessel made from my energy. He allowed a part of him to be reborn as an Elemental to accompany me in our world. You should be able to do it too. I will teach you how later."
"Thank you, Keylan. Actually, I want to ask a few more questions about Lord Skoll and Headmaster Ca.s.sius of your world. Is it okay?"
"Ask away."
These two got along as they spent time drinking and talking.
