Chapter 636 You Win Passing through a corridor covered with a long red carpet, Gareth led Rein and Flora to a spacious room.
The room was bathed in warm, milky light, with a long dining table in the center, and a dozen or so court maids standing quietly in various parts of the room awaiting orders.
A faint, sweet scent of roses filled the room, lingering around Renn.
The three entered the restaurant, and three waitresses standing nearby pulled out chairs for them, and the three sat down one by one.
Then, Gareth, seated at the head of the long table, spoke to the maid beside him:
"Tell the kitchen to begin lunch."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The maid bowed respectfully and walked out of the dining room toward the kitchen.
Ryan, sitting to Gareth's left, spoke up:
"I do know some healing magic. I wonder if Your Majesty Gareth would allow me to examine you?"
Gareth was taken aback.
Although the two are currently on friendly terms, things like medical examinations that require the other's magic to enter their bodies are still too much for him and Rein.
However, Gareth smiled bitterly to himself as he considered his current situation.
Since the situation couldn't get any worse, why not let this mysterious man take a look?
Having thought it through, Gareth nodded, rolled up his sleeves, extended his left hand, and smiled:
"Sure, it's not a big deal."
Raine placed his hand on Gareth's wrist, and wisps of dark golden magic entered Gareth's body.
Flora sat opposite Renn, gazing at him expectantly, hoping that Renn, who had always brought her miracles, could also bring a miracle to her father.
The more Ryan examined the object, the more his brow furrowed.
With such a terrible physical condition, Gareth has only managed to stay afloat this long thanks to a large number of treasures.
Not only was his vitality as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, but his body was also riddled with holes, like a sieve!
If it's just a simple lack of life energy, it's not incurable for Raine. He can simply exchange some more Sacred Tree Elixir to replenish Gareth's missing life force.
But Gareth is different. If Gareth's body is likened to a bucket filled with water, then his life force is the water in that bucket.
Gareth's barrel itself is flawed; no matter how much life force is replenished, it will all be lost.
In this situation... there was nothing Rein could do.
However, if the Goddess of Life is notified, she might have a solution.
After a moment's thought, Raine silently called out to the Goddess of Life: "Goddess, are you there?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the voice of the Goddess of Life rang in Renn's ears.
"What's wrong?"
Raine then briefly explained the current situation to the Goddess of Life, who nodded thoughtfully.
“I understand. So, if we can cure him, it might help in finding the Scepter of Life. Let me see.”
After speaking, the Goddess of Life transferred to Gareth's body through Renn's hand. With just a glance, the Goddess of Life understood Gareth's condition.
"It's hopeless, don't even think about it. Even if it could be saved, it would require a huge price to pay, which I don't think is worth it," the Goddess of Life said, shaking her head.
“If he were a demigod like Lucifer, with his own divine status, then this situation would be easy to resolve.”
"We can simply use divine power to create another body for him and then transfer his divine essence into the new body, but the problem is that he's only a seventh-order being!"
