Zu An wondered what was going on. Was it too early to meet the parents now?
Isabella then realized what was happening, her face flushed, and she hurriedly said, "I asked around about the things you're looking for. My father might have a way."
Zuan was delighted upon hearing this. The wealth of the Universal Chamber of Commerce was renowned throughout the world, and more importantly, they had advanced intelligence capabilities. Perhaps they really had a solution.
The two quickly arrived at Isabella's room, where they saw a new watch on her wrist. She tapped it a few times, and a projection suddenly appeared in the air.
A middle-aged man stood in the study, dressed in a high-collared robe uniform covered with various mysterious runes. Coupled with his lightning-like eyes, he appeared even more solemn and dignified.
“Father, this is Brother Zu, Brother Zu, this is my father.” Isabella lightly touched the floor with the toes of her right foot, her expression a mixture of joy and shyness.
The middle-aged man scrutinized Zu'an, and even though it was just a projection, his gaze seemed to see right through him.
Having weathered countless storms, Zu'an was naturally unaffected: "Greetings, Uncle."
A hint of approval flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Hello, I am Aragorn Arcadia. Thank you for saving my precious Isabella."
Zaun smiled slightly: "This is the result of our joint efforts, and Isabella also helped me a lot."
“It’s rare to see a young man who isn’t arrogant about his achievements,” Aragorn smiled, then asked about Zaun, even inquiring about his hometown and origins, almost to the point of asking about his birth date.
Zuan felt strange, but since the other party was an elder, he answered politely, except for some sensitive information.
"Father, I came to you for help, why are you asking so many questions?" Isabella couldn't stand it anymore and blushed with a coquettish reproach.
Aragorn chuckled, “I almost forgot the important matter. Isabella also mentioned those things to me. To go to some ancient fragments to find old friends, only some extremely special treasures in the myriad worlds can do that. I know one of these treasures is called the Creation Tablet.”
Upon hearing this, Zuan replied, "I once obtained a treasure box of creation, which did indeed successfully take me through time and space. However, after using it once, it turned into stone and it will take a long time to regain its function. I wonder if there are any other similar treasures?"
Aragorn was somewhat surprised: "Treasures that can travel through time are rare. According to the information of the Universal Merchant Guild, this is the only one. You should know that time and space are a realm that only true gods can enter. However, the fact that you have obtained such a treasure proves that you are very fortunate. I think you should have the opportunity to find other ways in the future."
Zuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, thinking that he could only ask the true god for help. Last time, judging from the tone of the God of Memory, it seemed that there was a way. But what kind of offering would satisfy Him?
Isabella, listening anxiously from the side, asked, "Father, didn't you also say you had a way to handle the other two matters?"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Aragorn's eyes. His daughter's siding with outsiders was far too obvious. "Isabella mentioned that you need the Jadeite and the Heavenly Water. The Jadeite Merchant Guild has it. I'll give it to you next time you come to the guild. As for the Heavenly Water, I found a few scattered records in the guild's database. I need to verify their authenticity before I can tell you."
Zu'an was overjoyed: "I don't know how to thank Uncle for such a precious thing."
This time in the Dreamland, I met Isabella by chance, and unexpectedly, she solved Mi Li's problem.
“This item is precious, but it's nothing compared to saving Isabella,” Aragorn continued. “As for the third matter, that's a bit troublesome.”
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. The third matter concerned whether Chu Yan should stay in the River of Oblivion for a thousand years.
“I’ve thought of a few solutions, but there’s probably only one that’s suitable for your current situation.” Aragorn didn’t keep you in suspense. He quickly opened a box from the void beside him, took out a jade-green card, and flicked it with his finger. The card flew directly toward Zaun.
Zaun felt the void in front of him suddenly open, and the card appeared out of thin air. He subconsciously caught it and was shocked. Aragorn should be at the headquarters of the Universal Merchant Guild at this time, which was an unknown distance away. How could he send something directly from such a distance?
"Brother Zu, this is a space teleportation technology researched by the Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, it can only teleport inanimate objects at present." Seemingly noticing his shock, Isabella quietly explained.
Aragon was speechless; his daughter was about to reveal all the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce.
Zaun smiled at Isabella before examining the card in his hand. It was entirely emerald green, like jade, yet extremely thin. It looked very much like some collector's edition cards from before his transmigration, but its material was many times rarer.
At this moment, Aragorn's voice rang out: "This is an extremely rare Emerald Card. It can transform living beings into cards. You should be able to use it to rescue your sister from the River of Oblivion, ignoring the laws of the river."
"Sister?" Zuan glanced at Isabella and saw her turn her head away shyly. He guessed that she dared not tell her father the truth. The girl was so considerate, and he couldn't help but feel warm inside.
However, a more pressing question arises: "Will this so-called 'cardification' directly turn people into cards?"
“It will indeed turn into a card, but you don’t need to worry. It won’t affect your life. She can act like a normal person at any time,” Aragorn paused, then explained, “Perhaps you don’t quite understand yet, but many beings are not necessarily real beings. For example, some life forms may just be data streams in a supercomputer. You and I may be virtual characters created by higher-dimensional beings, not much different from cards.”
Zuan nodded secretly, roughly understanding what he meant.
"I wonder if there are any drawbacks to turning it into a card game?"
"After she becomes a card, she will form a contract with you. However, since she is your sister, you don't need to worry about her harming you. Also, summoning her to fight after she becomes a card may consume your own energy. Furthermore, increasing your strength after she becomes a card will be different from before; you will need to synthesize and consume some special materials and cards to evolve..."
Zuan frowned slightly; there seemed to be quite a few restrictions.
Aragorn reassured her, "But you don't need to worry. This card is the rarest in the entire Universal Merchant Guild. Its growth potential is very high and it won't affect your sister's strength improvement. Moreover, compared to a thousand years of imprisonment, I personally think that the other restrictions don't have much of an impact."
"Thank you so much for your generous gift, Uncle!" Zu An came to his senses and finally found a way to save Chu Yan, no matter what.
Aragorn laughed: "You saved Isabella and even gave her a portion of the power of death, so what are these things I gave you? By the way, the Jade Essence of the Illumination still needs some time to prepare. I'll give it to you when you come to the Merchant Guild next time. Maybe I'll have found out about the Heavenly Water by the time you come."
