072: A Frenzied Possessiveness
Huaiyan arrived at the Spirit Clan following yesterday's route.
I've already gotten a general idea of what happened from 073.
Bai Li is about to appear.
His targets were successively the orcs and the demons.
Bai Li has only just appeared on the continent of Sai'er and hasn't had time to do anything yet.
Naturally, he did not establish a good relationship with Wolf Green, the leader of the beastmen.
“It will take at least five or six more days to get from Baili to the continent of Seer,” 073 asked. “You know what to do.”
Upon hearing this, the boy nodded.
He only needs four more races to establish connections between all five races.
Besides the Beastmen, there are also the Spirits, Humans, Bloodlust, and Demons.
It will probably take another four days.
In the next few days, Huaiyan will try to trick the leader of another race into submission, just as he did with the beastmen.
This is nothing more than replicating Bai Li's methods from the original storyline.
but.
The boy wouldn't choose to exchange his body for it.
Bai Li was nameless and without any social standing, race, or powerful background.
The Messiah is not the Son of God.
The Messiah has a powerful church as his backing and was raised from childhood as the Son of God.
In terms of ability alone.
If Bai Li were in the original storyline, without the help of the five race leaders and the church's grand mage...
It is absolutely impossible to remove the Messiah from power.
If Huaiyan can beat Baili to the punch this time and raise the satisfaction rating to over 80 in front of the five leaders, then...
The mission is already more than half successful.
We arrived in Eldar at 11:00 AM.
"Your Excellency, Holy Son."
The guard stood outside the carriage, bent down and stretched out his arm, wanting to help the boy down from the carriage.
However, this idea failed to materialize.
Xiuyi followed closely behind, standing beside the guard, and extended his hand in the same manner.
This is what Huai Yan saw when he got out of the carriage.
"you……"
The boy blinked, not quite understanding what the two were doing.
As if trying to determine who was superior, they stood up straight.
“Your Highness,” the guard said solemnly, his voice neither humble nor overbearing, “please alight from the carriage.”
After saying that, she stretched her hand out in front of the boy, as if there was no way he could refuse.
The boy paused, just about to place his soft palm on her.
Xiuyi immediately squeezed forward, taking the place of the guard's arm, and said loudly, "Your Excellency, Holy Son, please."
Huaiyan: "…?"
At this moment, Huaiyan finally noticed the strange atmosphere between Xiuyi and the guards.
This kind of thing... also has that damn competitive spirit.
In the end, Huaiyan wanted to avoid offending either side, so he got out of the car.
After much trouble, the group arrived at the Spirit Clan tribe.
On the way here, Huaiyan and 073 discussed for a long time.
Finally, they decided to stop going around in circles and head straight for the five tribes.
Because the Holy Son has many things to do every day, and he needs to help more than one race.
If you spend a lot of time every day perfecting the saintly father persona of the Son.
Later, it's possible that Bailey will succeed, uniting with the five leaders and Hugh to overthrow the church for the second time.
There's no need to worry about Wolf Blue and Xiu Yi for now.
This morning, 073 was surprised to find that Xiuyi's satisfaction level had somehow become 85.
This is a very high number.
And this was done when the boy was a teenager and hadn't done anything.
That's about it...
After a little girl from the Spirit Clan choked back tears as she recounted the whole story, she looked at Huai Yan with teary eyes.
Huaiyan suddenly snapped back to reality, a bad feeling creeping over her.
Two days ago, strange things started happening in the tribe.
There was a genius boy in the Spirit Clan who discovered that his originally abundant spiritual energy had disappeared overnight.
You must understand that a Spirit Clan member without spiritual power is like a lamb to the slaughter.
At this moment, however, everyone was only panicked and didn't think about anything else.
By the next day, the spiritual power of the Spirit Race began to disappear on a large scale.
The tribe, which was originally full of spiritual energy and dared not be invaded by outsiders, became powerless overnight.
And on the morning Huai Yan arrived, the spiritual power of the Spirit Clan leader was gradually dissipating.
The Eldar leader was named Lucy, and he was a very gentle young man.
After his spiritual power began to disappear, Lucy, who was always gentle and strong, didn't even eat and stayed indoors.
In the past, those tribespeople without spiritual power often remained outside the tribe.
Because they lacked spiritual power, they had no common topics to discuss in their daily lives.
No one wants to be such a weakling.
A vulnerable person who needs protection at all times.
And now, those fears have come true.
There is still a large group of people in the tribe, and their spiritual power is fading.
Before long, the spiritual power of the entire Spirit Race will completely disappear.
Looking at the girl in front of me, crying uncontrollably.
Huaiyan stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief.
"Don't cry." The boy's voice was soft and gentle, carrying a strange magic. "There will be a solution."
The girl was taken aback, then gripped her handkerchief tightly and looked at the boy with gratitude.
"Oh, by the way," Huai Yan then appropriately suggested, "Could you take me to meet your leader?"
To solve the problem at its root, you also need to improve your public image.
The first thing is to make my presence known to Lucy.
Even if it can't solve the problem, 073 will definitely find a way.
With the girl's nod of agreement, the three were led to Lucy's bedroom.
"My lord," the girl knocked on the door and called softly, "His Holiness the Holy Son has arrived and says he wishes to see you."
The room inside was deathly silent.
The girl sighed almost imperceptibly, as if she were used to it.
She said, "Since we discovered it this morning, the adults haven't come out again."
Lucy was an exceptionally popular leader.
In general, if anything happens, almost everyone in the tribe will know about it.
The disappearance of Lucie's spiritual power this time undoubtedly made everyone hold their breath.
Lucy's spiritual power is formidable, a stark contrast to her gentle appearance.
Therefore, the loss of spiritual power was a huge blow to Lucy.
After all, the leader is the last line of defense for a race.
If even the leader's spiritual power disappears, who knows how many covetous people it will attract.
However, unexpectedly...
The bedroom, which had been quiet all morning, suddenly opened its door in the next second.
The young man, his eyes red-rimmed, stood in front of the door, his gaze meeting Huai Yan's.
The girl was quite perceptive; she led the guards and Xiuyi down first.
The doors to the sleeping quarters closed again, and the boy was invited inside.
"I'm sorry." The young man's voice was hoarse, and his handsome eyes were bloodshot. "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Your Highness."
In the past, Lucy had always been proper and polite when he appeared in front of others.
It's rare for me to face anyone else in such a disheveled state.
But this time, he couldn't help but want to see His Holiness the Holy Son.
As if captivated by the boy, their gaze could not be taken away.
"It's alright." The boy lowered his eyes and bowed slightly, indicating his understanding.
He gently comforted her, "Your Excellency, there's no need to worry too much. Things will always be resolved."
Upon hearing this, Lucy gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Your Excellency, you don't need to comfort me. I can feel my own condition."
He could feel his once abundant spiritual power slowly slipping away from his fingertips.
It no longer belongs to me.
It was as if something had been removed from his body.
Huai Yan was speechless for a moment, and could only ask 073 if they had found out yet.
"We've found out." 073 gave an affirmative answer. "It's nothing serious. Just go and pull out the dodder vines around here."
Huai Yan was taken aback and asked, "Dodder flower?"
“Yes.” 073 explained, “Dodder has a very strong adsorption capacity and will gradually drain them dry.”
"It sounds a bit like a bloodsucker," the boy tried to understand. "Is that what you mean?"
073 nodded and began to explain without stopping.
This dodder flower is an invasive species that has recently appeared on the continent of Seer.
Dodder is a tenacious plant; once it takes root nearby, it will frantically absorb nutrients from the surrounding area.
Dodder can absorb everything, whether it's spiritual energy or something else.
“Just pull it out,” 073 said, offering the solution, “and then burn it.”
Otherwise, the dodder vine might regrow.
After discussing it with Lucy, the two immediately decided to go and remove the dodder vine.
But Lucy stopped him.
Perhaps having found a solution, the young man's expression softened considerably, and his gaze towards the boy changed.
It adds an extra layer, a meaning that is hard to explain.
“Your Holiness,” Lucie smiled gently, his voice like a gentle breeze, “How could I bear to let you do such a small thing?”
Then, the young man waved his hand and ordered a few people to leave.
The boy vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
But he couldn't explain why, so he could only go along with Lucie's suggestion.
Then, Lucy turned around and smiled at the boy.
He was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.
"careful!"
The boy rushed over and managed to catch him. "Are you... alright...?"
She looked into the boy's emerald green eyes and saw her own reflection.
Lucy curled his lips into a smile and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, thank you."
After Huaiyan slowly withdrew his hand, he heard 073 shout excitedly.
"Holy crap!" 073 emitted a sharp, explosive sound. "Lucy's favorability has increased to 50!"
Huaiyan: "!!"
So it's that easy to increase the favorability of non-main characters?
