But then, the Goddess of Life changed her tone, saying, "However..."
"If we can really find the Scepter of Life in the Southern Continent, then he won't necessarily die. With the Scepter of Life, even if his condition is worse than it is now, it can completely heal him!"
The goddess of life spoke with unwavering resolve, as if she could resolve any situation with the scepter of life.
Raine raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Is it really that amazing?"
Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life pouted and said, "That's the Scepter of Life! It's an existence even higher than a divine artifact!"
"If I had it, my Life Faction could directly rise to become the fourth largest power in the God Realm! Otherwise, why do you think I would be so eager to find it?"
Renn smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, I understand. If it's in the Southern Continent, I'll help you find it."
Rein withdrew his right hand and slowly spoke under the gaze of Gareth and the other man.
“Your Majesty Gareth, I am aware of your situation, and to be honest, it is not optimistic.”
Gareth withdrew his left hand, as if he had anticipated what Renne was about to say, and smiled reassuringly:
"Hehe~ I know."
Flora's eyes also showed disappointment upon hearing this.
But what Renn said next startled Gareth and Flora at the same time, and even the dozen or so maids standing to the side of the room looked at Renn in disbelief.
"Although it's troublesome, it's not without a cure," Rein said.
Gareth instantly stood up from his chair, looking at Renn with a serious expression. At that moment, he was like an aging tiger opening its eyes.
"Lord Rein, is what you're saying true?!" Gareth asked in a deep voice, his tone as heavy as a boulder weighing ten thousand tons.
Renn smiled and said, "Your Majesty Gareth, please don't get agitated. Sit down. You know your situation better than anyone. Getting agitated won't be a good thing for you."
Gareth remained silent for a moment, then sat back down in his chair, but his gaze remained fixed on Rennes.
Raine said, "To be honest, I was actually being sucked into the space while searching for a treasure."
"If Your Majesty Gareth can help me find that treasure, with its help, Your Majesty's condition is not incurable."
Gareth sat in his chair and pondered for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression:
“I know my situation very well. Even the Pope of the Healing Church is helpless with my condition. Yet the treasure you speak of can heal me. I remain skeptical of your words.”
"Unless you can provide me with concrete evidence, it's impossible for me to use the entire nation's resources to help you find that treasure!"
Ryan slowly shook his head: "I have no evidence to give you. If you don't believe me, just pretend I was joking and that I said nothing."
Despite Renn's explanation, Gareth, whose will to survive had been ignited by Renn, refused to give up.
After all, who would want to die if they could live?
Gareth sat in the chair, his right hand gripping the armrest tightly. The waitresses who were bringing food at the door stopped in the hallway, sensing that something was wrong in the restaurant.
After a long while, Gareth sighed deeply and said:
“Lord Raine, you are very clever. You have perfectly exploited my survival instincts and lured me step by step to learn about that mysterious treasure.”
"well……"
“You win. Although I won’t do my best to help you find that ‘treasure’ that may or may not exist, I can give you the greatest assistance without affecting the development of the empire.”
"I only hope that after you find the treasure, you can cure my old ailment."
