Chapter 805 – Peaceful Exchange
"Adaa!" The little guy raised his hand and waved it, greeting the knight in the distance.
"You human bastards. I'm not going to let you go after you capture my kid!" The black knight released all his strength and raised his hand.
Suddenly, the black flame flared on the sword.
As if realizing that his father was about to kill Theo, the little guy hurriedly clung to Theo's hand with both feet. Meanwhile, his hands were above his head, and he waved them as if he planned to stop his father.
"!!!" Obviously, with his kid on the way, the black knight couldn't do a single thing. If he attacked Theo, such powerful energy would harm his kid as well.
It was at this time Ava leaped forward while transforming to her battle form.
"Such an unreasonable guy… Even after we saved your kid, you wanted to kill us." Ava glared at him with her bloodshot eyes. "Come on then. Kill us if you can. You can't kill all of us with a single slash. Whoever survives will torture and kill your kid before your eyes."
The black knight shivered when he saw Ava and listened to her words.
He hesitated for a moment and saw his son, who was still clinging to Theo. It was clear that his son had no intention of moving away.
After realizing the situation didn't look like what he thought, the black knight waved his sword down and released the accumulated energy inside the sword.
The black-colored flame ran through the ground and created a wall of black flame that stretched for over a quarter-mile and was three hundred feet tall.
However, this enormous black flame didn't go in Theo's direction. It was to the side, so they were safe.
The black knight finally let go of his weapon and calmed down.
"So, you saved my son…" The black knight remained vigilant as there was a chance of them lying to him.
"Your kid was playing around inside the nest below here and almost got killed by the imps," Ava explained in a simple way.
"Hmm? Then, how do you explain about the snake?"
"I killed it. Though, I only delivered the last blow. The snake fought against thousands of imps and managed to kill around two thousand of them," Theo replied with a calm expression, not scared of him.
"Hmm…" The black knight turned to his child and asked, "Is that true?"
"Ada." He nodded a few times.
"…" The black knight fell silent for a moment before his horse disappeared. Landing on the ground, the guy said, "I understand the situation now. If that's the situation, I would like to apologize for what I have done."
"Ada." Suddenly, the little guy leaped off and walked toward Maya, pointing at her. "Ada!"
"…" The black knight paused, understanding that his son wanted to settle the problem with Maya.
After some consideration, the black knight asked, "How do you plan to settle it?"
"Ada." The little guy moved toward the hole and pointed down. "Adaa!"
"There is a Blue Star Crystal room below. I don't know what to say since I'm not an expert… maybe a mine or a vein?" Theo explained what they found.
"What?" The one who was shocked the most was Maya. She turned to Theo, staring in disbelief.
Seeing Maya's reaction was enough for the black knight to decide. "I give you the right to mine that place. However, I need to give you a few conditions.
"First, no more than five people can mine in that place at a time. Second, the imps can't go extinct. Third, this is the compensation for the damage and the reward for saving my son. Fourth, the time limit is one year.
"If you break one of these rules, I will personally come to this place and eliminate all humans from this place. Are you satisfied?" The black knight asked his son.
"Adaa!" The little guy nodded.
"Come here then. We go back." The black knight waved his hand, calling him back.
"Adaa." The little guy hurriedly ran toward him, but with his size and strength, it took a while for him to reach his father.
In the meantime, the black knight turned to Theo and the others. "It seems you have met an Order Holder since you have that symbol somewhere in your body. How many have you met and who are they?"
Theo narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't think that's appropriate to say that, right?"
"Just tell them that the Dark Order is asking that question." The black knight shook his head.
Theo glanced at Ava to ask her opinion.
As soon as the latter nodded, Theo answered, "Moonlight Order, Mountain Order, Shadow Order, Lightning Authority, and you, Dark Order."
"Authority?" The dark knight frowned.
"Yeah. I was with them." Theo pointed at Ava and Agata.
"I see." The black knight fell silent. Before the little guy reached him, he tossed a black light to Theo.
Theo narrowed his eyes and grabbed that light before seeing a black-colored flame symbol on his left palm. With this, he had two marks coming from King Class Monsters.
"When you successfully cultivate your own order, come to my place. I don't mind having an exchange with you. Just ask any General Class Monster in the Underworld Territory, and they'll lead you to my place. Take it as compensation for almost killing you along with the fact that my son takes a liking on you."
"…" Theo frowned, looking at both palms. He even wondered whether his body would be filled with tattoos if every single King Class Monster gave him a mark.
Meanwhile, the little guy reached the black knight and hugged his leg.
The black knight raised him and summoned the horse again.
Before going, the black knight asked one last question. "What's your name?"
"Theodore Griffith."
"Vofhnier." As soon as he said his name, the black knight kicked the horse as they moved away from this place.
"…" Theo let out a long sigh as they had finished the problem.
"Shadow Order?" Agata turned to him, realizing that she had never met this one.
"Blue Star Crystal?" Maya also looked at him for a different purpose.
