Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 150 The Treant Surrenders

Xiscana led the tree spirits to their heavy knees, their massive bodies kicking up layers of mud as they exerted themselves. Xiscana proclaimed in his ancient and weathered voice, "Great God, Xiscana is willing to lead the tree spirits and elves to your rule. Please allow us to join your great empire!"

Agreed, witnessing this scene, exclaimed in surprise, "You...you actually intend to lead your vast elven kingdom and all your tree spirits to join my cause?! You're really willing to hand over such a large territory and so many people?"

Without hesitation, Xiscana bowed and said, "It is my blessing to follow you. Moreover, the tree spirits prefer stability and we do not like to manage the races under our command. This has led to the elves acting recklessly and we were almost destroyed by our own people. So no matter how you look at it, submitting to you is the most suitable choice. Since you are about to establish a country, I will use this elven kingdom as your founding gift!"

Please accept it, my king!

Agred happily put away the magic in his hand and exclaimed with great joy, "Very well, since that's the case, I'll accept this great gift. Moreover, I will make this gift the grand finale of the founding ceremony. Get up. Since you are so sensible, I won't neglect you. The Ancient Forest will still be under your own jurisdiction. I will give you the greatest possible freedom. From now on, I will only interfere in the management of the elven race."

Xiscana and the tree spirits calmly replied, "Thank you, sir." Then all the tree spirits stood up, and all the tree spirits except Xiscana returned to the ancient forest to slumber.

At this point, Agreed ordered Siscana, "You should go back too. It's time for me to leave this country. I'll come find you if I need anything."

Ciscana nodded in response, "I await your command." With that, he turned and returned to the ancient forest, where he fell into a long slumber.

At this moment, Apas, who had been hiding to the side fearing retaliation from the tree spirits, finally breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated them, saying, "Congratulations, Master, on conquering the tree spirit race."

Looking at the ancient forest before him, Agreed calmly replied, "It was just good luck. Let's go. Heya, are you still coming with me? Now the Elf Kingdom is mine. If you want to stay here, I..."

Before Agreed could finish speaking, Haya interrupted him, saying, "Let's go, I'd also like to see where you live."

Seeing this, Agreed said nothing more and used flying magic to take the two of them back to the castle in the western swamp in twelve days. After returning to the west, Agreed immediately built a top-notch laboratory for Apas to meet all his requirements. After that, Apas was left to fend for himself in the laboratory and no longer cared about him.

Apas immediately became engrossed in his research. In the days that followed, Agrede took Heya on a tour to enjoy the beautiful scenery of his territory. To be honest, playing with Heya these days gave Agrede a sense of peace and joy he had never experienced before. Heya's arrival gave Agrede a kind of illusion, an illusion that everything could go back to the past.

Although Agreed knew in his heart that this was just his wishful thinking, who would want to stay in the dark forever? Even if it was just a fleeting bubble, Agreed wanted to grasp it, even if only once.

With the founding ceremony drawing ever closer, Agred and Haya's journey was forced to a halt.

On the eve of the founding ceremony, Agreed took Heya back to the castle in the western swamp. Heya obediently returned to the guest room that Agreed had prepared for her, while mischievously exclaiming, "I'm really looking forward to seeing you in your royal attire tomorrow! You must dress up beautifully, or you'll embarrass your subjects."

Agreed waved his hand and said, "Alright, I know. You should go and get some rest. That brat just keeps making fun of me and teasing me."

Hea made a playful face and then went back to her room. Just then, Lester and Brecel saw this and immediately started gossiping among themselves.

Lester whispered furtively, "What's this elf girl doing here?"

Brecel, with an expression of complete knowledge, gossiped, "This girl returned here from the Elf Kingdom with the master a long time ago. These past few days, the master has been taking her around to play. Don't you understand what that means? According to human aesthetics, what else could the master mean by bringing such a beautiful girl back? He should start calling her Queen."

"That can't be right. The Lord is a spirit, how could he possibly find a partner? He doesn't even have that ability! Isn't that nonsense?"

Brecel immediately covered Lester's mouth and whispered, "Are you crazy?! Even if you want to die, you can't offend that lord! I don't want you to die, and besides, can't people have pure romantic feelings? Anyway, the Elven race's sexuality has degenerated to the point of being practically nonexistent. Besides, even if they want it, there are plenty of ways to get it. Why be so fixated on one type?"

Lester immediately smiled knowingly and said, "Oh, you really know what I mean."

Suddenly, a pale white skull appeared between the two, and at the same time, Agreed's sinister voice rang out, demanding, "What do you know?"

The eerie and terrifying atmosphere, combined with Agred's racial bonuses, instantly terrified the two top-tier vampires, making them tremble like leaves.

The two, realizing what had happened, quickly explained, "We didn't understand anything, sir... We were just discussing the plans for tomorrow's founding ceremony."

Agreed tilted his head and looked at them, as if the unspoken thought of 'Keep making things up, keep making things up' was written all over his face. Seeing that the two of them couldn't come up with anything coherent, Agreed immediately scolded, "You dare to lie to me!"

These words terrified the two men so much that they knelt on the ground. But before they could beg for mercy, Agreed continued, "If you're really so bored that you have nothing better to do, then go back to your coffins and get some rest. Stop spending your days speculating about all sorts of nonsense. And what kind of nonsense are you talking about? If you keep fantasizing like this, what will become of you! Get out of here right now. Don't provoke me here. Tomorrow is the founding ceremony. Get everything arranged properly. If anything goes wrong, we'll settle all the scores for what happened tonight. Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood." With that, the two of them rushed out of the castle as if they had been granted a pardon.

At this moment, Agreed could only sigh and rub his forehead in exasperation as he watched his two men flee in panic. Initially, Agreed didn't want to reprimand them, since it's normal for subordinates to gossip. However, their conversation was taking an increasingly bizarre turn, so he had to intervene. Otherwise, who knows what strange version it would become? Just thinking about it now made Agreed shudder with fear that he had almost ruined his reputation.

However, the little incident quickly passed, and Agreed returned to his room to try on the armor he would use the next day. The founding ceremony was about to take place, and a good show was about to begin.
