1483 Surrender
Estaya writing and language are commonly used by the lichs in the underworld, and Raymond, who has obtained relevant information from the girl Becky, will naturally not be incomprehensible.
Therefore, the butterfly in front of him with pale golden wings and the lines on its wings are very similar to some kind of runes, which makes Raymond very strange. "How do you know I'm not from the underworld?"
"Alien powerhouse, can you allow me to leave immediately with my subordinates?" I promise that I will completely forget about the existence of this village, and I will not report this matter to the Great Lich of Talis......"
Not only did he not answer the previous question, but instead bent down to make a request, which made Raymond more and more confused.
Becky, the girl standing on her left shoulder, seemed to feel a little strange, so she interjected and asked. "Why are you allowed to leave with your men, wouldn't it be better to kill you here?"
Standing behind the two Resentful Butterflies with pale golden wings, the Resentful Butterfly with pale golden wings turned its gaze to the girl Becky, and there was a slight fear in its expression, and the hesitation between the expressions was fleeting, and the raised hands that followed it slightly forward pressed on the back of its subordinates' heads in vain!
The two resentful butterflies who had been taking this defensive posture towards Raymond suddenly burst out of their eyes with a red light, and their expressions suddenly distorted and cracked their mouths and let out a miserable scream!
But before they could take any action, their bodies seemed to be roasted by the heat, and the dark brown armor on their bodies instantly rose into green smoke, and the two pairs of wings quickly dried up and curled, and then were burned to ashes by the fire that erupted from their bodies. Spill it down.
Such an abrupt move caused Becky, the girl standing on Raymond's left shoulder, to let out a low cry, and then raised her hands as if to show that she had given up on resisting the butterfly. He hurriedly said. "Honorable Lord, Ulu has no more subordinates, if you still have concerns, Uru is willing to offer you loyalty and submit to you!"
As he spoke, the resentful butterfly slowly lowered its body and prostrate on the ground, and the two pairs of pale golden wings were also spread out, allowing Raymond to clearly see the complete pattern on it.
"This—This seems to be a gesture of complete surrender......"
Seeing this, the girl Becky was stunned. Some were unsure, and Raymond didn't know what that gesture meant.
At this moment, the dense fog in the mountain path behind him was once again tumbling and surging. As the fog poured outward, it thinned out so that Raymond could faintly see the scene inside.
On both sides of the trail, which is several meters wide, there are dozens of columns that seem to have been deliberately inserted into the earth, and the chains released from the top of them are like smoke. But it has formed a vague shackle. Trap a small, bubble-like creature in the center.
"Your Excellency, Uru is one of the top five commanders of the Great Lich of Talis, and if you are willing to accept my submission, you will have a map of the entire northwestern part of the Saiyan Realm, as well as a map of all resources and creatures, and even if you want to recruit an army that is completely subordinate to you, Uru can ......plan it for you."
Uru, the prostrate butterfly of resentment, was still making this pleading, and what he said was becoming more and more surprising to Raymond
and the northwest of the 'Sayan's Land' that it mentions. It was also as if it was an area occupied and managed, similar to the wetlands that Raymond had passed through before. It's just a tiny area.
And things like the distribution of various mineral deposits, various resource points, and even the gathering place of many underworld creatures, it also casually said that it did not seem to be falsifying.
So Raymond, who was a little tempted, asked. "Then do you know the distribution of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree?"
Uru, who was prostrate on the ground, trembled a little, and there was a surprised and embarrassed smile on his raised face. "Honorable Lord, Uru came here to get the news of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree in addition to the gathering of combat power, if your target is the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree, Uru is really powerless......
Becky, the girl who had been listening, asked because she understood Raymond's purpose. "And your submission is so proven?"
"Uru will offer the fire of his soul to his master, and if Ulu has any misdeeds, he can wipe out Uru in an instant!"
After saying it without hesitation, a small cloud of its image that seemed to be foggy and smoke-like and smoke-like that had been shrunk countless times slowly floated from the top of its skull.
Becky, the girl who came to Raymond's body in a flash, after the miniature phantom of the butterfly of resentment approached, a hook of her fingers made it appear in the palm of her hand, as if she was examining, and only after a moment turned around and nodded at Raymond. "It is indeed the fire of the soul, if you accept it, then its life and death are in your thoughts!"
Substances like this, known in other planes as 'soul fire', have different names but apparently have similar effects, so after the girl Becky handed it over, Raymond incorporated it into his consciousness space.
The faint but able to connect the soul fire of the resentful butterfly Uru caused Raymond to disarm him, and after summoning him, he asked about the other reasons for his presence.
Uru, who was once a trialist of a village of Phantom Butterfly, was ambushed by the Great Lich of Talis when he was out, and finally became a butterfly of resentment after being refined into a butterfly by the Great Lich of Tulis, and was valued for its extremely fast growth, and finally became the leader of hundreds of butterflies and a small number of low-level lichs under his command.
"The territory of Saiyan occupied by the Great Lich of Talis has gradually grown over the years of painstaking management, but some time ago, due to the conflict with the lichs of the neighboring territory, the Lich Legion owned by the Great Lich of Talis suffered heavy losses, so we were sent out to collect combat power......"
Speaking of this, he pointed to Ulu behind him, who was filled with thin mist at the entrance to the mountain trail, and sighed. "Three months ago, because the operation to go to the land of evil spirits failed, the guide zhì lost more than half of my men, so I had to turn the target back to the village of the Phantom Butterfly, otherwise I would not have done anything to my former kindred......
Raymond, who had already roughly understood the reason, stopped asking, and after returning here with the Phantom Butterfly Himima, he ordered Uru to end the attack on the village.
The columns that were inserted on both sides of the trail were the 'Pillars of Imprisonment' that had been awarded to the Great Lich of Talis for their exploits, and they were a powerful weapon of range.
And as the thin mist that covered the entrance passage of the mountain path dissipated, the bubble-like creature that had been trapped in the pillar of confinement immediately fled, followed by a dozen slightly larger phantom butterflies led by an elderly man with white hair, appeared at the entrance of the mountain path.
Seeing the white-haired elder Jima, even though he pounced, the elder who only had a stern expression in his expression reprimanded Hima in an extremely stern tone, and after a few words, Jima cried bitterly.
Seeing that the old man had been scolding, and Jima was constantly shaking his head despite crying bitterly, Raymond, who could not understand his language, asked Uru to translate.
"The leader is the Grand Elder of this village, Cytheus, who has strictly ordered this little Phantom Butterfly not to reveal the location of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree, and has asked it to swear an oath in the language of its clan center!"
"What is the word of the vow?"
"The Word of the Oath is a forcible seal of memory in the Phantom Butterfly Clan, and after using the Word of the Oath, even if it knows something clearly, it can't say it, and even some methods of manipulating the mind can't make it leak, which is the best way to keep it secret......
Hearing this, Raymond's face sank, and the girl Becky, who was standing on his left shoulder, was also furious, and his figure appeared on Himma's side in a flash, pointing at the old phantom butterfly with white hair and shouting. "I didn't know how to thank you for being rescued, could it be that the secret of the soul fruit tree is more important than the whole village, or ......" (to be continued......
