2563 The Disappointed Royalty!
Du Miao held his breath as he spoke, awaiting the Mirror God and God of Foolsâ answer.
Du Miao had not trusted this promise but had looked forward to it. However, he and the other members of the Freedom Federationâs royalty had only been served repeated disappointments.
Firstly, the Mirror God and God of Fools had maintained their high and mighty attitudes, which did not align with their promise at all. Furthermore, they were still the ones who called the shots on most issues. They only sought out the opinions of others when they were in a good mood. If they were in a bad mood, they would not even inform the others of their decisions.
Now, Ka Ma had requested to contract a fey with a powerful bloodline that was also suitable for her. Du Miao felt that she was being rather greedy to be eyeing the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, but in a practical sense, her request was reasonable as she was still a member of the Freedom Federationâs royalty.
Although it could not be said that Ka Ma had contributed significantly to the Freedom Federationâs development thus far, she had made her share of contributions.
Besides the Mirror God, Goddess of Mercy, God of Fools, the other members of royalty took shifts guarding the territory in the marsh world.
Ka Ma had only ended up in such a state because she happened to have the bad luck of encountering an invasion by one of the marsh worldâs powerful Dictators. If any of the other members of royalty had been in her situation, they would not have ended up in a better state than Ka Ma.
If the Mirror God and God of Fools granted Ka Maâs request and allowed her to form a contract with the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, it would show they had changed their mindsets to some degree.
But if they were unwilling to give her the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, Du Miao felt that there was no point in holding out any more hope for the Mirror God and God of Fools. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Three-Headed Dark Phoenix had come to the Freedom Federation after they killed a Radiance Envoy during a Major Federation Meeting and used the Radiance Envoyâs fey with the Barren bloodlineâs essence blood to nurture a fey.
Although it was not as powerful as a regular fey with the Barren bloodline, it was still stronger than normal phoenix-species feys.
The God of Fools had intended to give the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix to the Mirror God as they had compatible affiliations.
But for an unknown reason, the Mirror God had decided not to contract the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix.
In the past, Ka Ma would never dare to covet something that the Mirror God once had his eye on. She was only choosing to do so nowâwhen she was in her most destitute stateâbecause she had been disappointed so many times and wanted to test the Mirror God and God of Fools one last time.
âKa Ma canât form a contract with the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix. I have a fey similar to the one she had that died. Give the Flowing Flames Pheasant to Ka Ma so she can form a contract with it!â
Du Miao received the Flowing Flames Pheasant from the Mirror God with a wooden expression before he looked deep into their eyes and left the room.
Once he was out of the room, Du Miao sighed deeply. The last ember of hope he had been holding out for the Freedom Federation was extinguished.
Du Miao did not understand why the Goddess of Mercy had left so abruptly. She was one of the three âgodsâ of the Freedom Federation. Why would she want to leave the Freedom Federation out of the blue?
She had always been much more merciful toward the other members of royalty than the Mirror God and God of Fools.
It was only that she often crossed the line and acted recklessly. Last time, she almost needled Na Na to the point that the latter lost what little life she had left and only stopped when the Mirror God stepped in to protect Na Na. The Mirror God had even issued a warning to the Goddess of Mercy over that matter.
But now, it seemed that the Goddess of Mercy had been the most intelligent person in the entire Freedom Federation.
The Mirror God said with slight displeasure, âKa Ma knows that I used to have my eye on the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, yet she still dares to ask for it. She clearly doesnât think much of me.
The God of Fools did not say anything else.
The Mirror God was clearly the one who had persuaded him to change his attitude toward the other members of royalty. He had taken in the Mirror Godâs suggestion and changed. But now, it was the Mirror God who was not walking the walk.
In truth, the Mirror God was always reasonable and did want to change the Freedom Federation.
It was only a shame there was nothing he hated more than others trying to take what he already saw as his own. If the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix had never caught his eye in the past, or if it was another fey of equal value, the Mirror God would not have hesitated to grant Ka Maâs request.
The Mirror God had no clue just how much of a ripple effect his rejection would have.
âBrother, do you think the Radiance Federation has something special that allows them to negotiate with the marsh world?â
The Mirror God deeply suspected Chef Supreme and Iron Prisonâs words. He did not believe that Chef Supreme and Iron Prison had the ability to back up their words. They had not even awoken their birth horoscopes. They did not even have the right to speak with Dictators who had set their spirit fires alight.
The God of Fools said with certainty, âWe will indeed hand over resources to Chef Supreme and Iron Prison first. But if they donât help the Freedom Federation with our problem, we wonât let them take the resources back to the Radiance Federation.
âChef Supreme and Iron Prison have essentially led the people from the Radiance Federation into a trap. Chef Supreme will have to make good on his word!
âIt looks like the Radiance Federation has found a way to make the dimensional lifeforms more cooperative. Brother, go and see Chef Supreme now. We wonât try to haggle. Just ask him to name his price. Regardless of what price he states, agree to it as long as itâs an amount we can afford.
âRather than resources, what we need more of is time. If we remain stuck in Fresh City for another six months, the Freedom Federation will really lose everything!
âThe Radiance Federationâs goal is clear. They want to gain as many benefits as they can from helping us. They also donât want to be too greedy and cause us to give up on asking them for help. So, itâs likely that one yearâs worth of resources from all the citiesâ earnings will be enough to cover the Radiance Federationâs price!â
The Mirror God nodded. He agreed with what the God of Fools had said.
