Chapter 69 - Don’t You Know That We’re Mortal Enemies?
“……You came.” The voice was weak but it could not hide its melodiousness and sweetness. It was extremely pleasant to hear. Moreover, it also contained boundless joy now that what he had been hoping and yearning for a long time had finally come.
His beautiful, jadeite eyes looked at Samael with a gentle and soft expression. They were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with suppressed emotions, as if those emotions had been bottled for thousands and thousands of years, embedding them deep into his marrows, so concentrated that it could never subside.
However, Suo Fei felt immensely uneasy, extremely uneasy!
In the game, when he saw Hull for the first time, he clearly didn’t say a word. Now however, Hull called out Samael’s surname in a very intimate manner. Suo Fei was still in Samael’s embrace, only revealing his eyes as he silently sized up Hull.
Perhaps Samael had come at a much earlier time than before so Hull’s mental state was also much better. Unlike his disoriented manner when he was close to dying in the game, although he was weak, he still had power and vitality left.
Samael looked at Hull and briefly stood motionless from surprise, which rarely happened to Samael. Suo Fei noticed this and inexplicably felt uneasy. He was clearly in Samael’s arms, but he felt a strange feeling of alienation.
Suo Fei moved uncomfortably which brought Samael back to his senses. Then, the strange feeling disappeared.
Samael thought that Suo Fei was uncomfortable so he folded his wings and placed Suo Fei on the ground. The jadeite green dragon was evidently startled when Suo Fei appeared. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he didn’t speak it out.
Suo Fei released Nael. When lil’ Nael saw Hull as soon as he flew out, he was so shocked that he forgot to flap his wings. Seeing that he was about to fall onto the ground, Suo Fei hurriedly caught him onto his palm.
As he lay on Suo Fei’s palm, lil’ Nael raised his head to look at Hull. Tears streamed down like a waterfall. Fortunately, his size had been reduced. If not, the place would definitely be flooded.
He not only cried terribly, he also cried extremely loudly. He was full of grievances so he didn’t say anything and just kept crying, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances in his heart.
The dragon’s body had become much smaller so his voice also became like that of a cub. So when he cried in such a manner, Suo Fei felt exceedingly distressed. He knew that Nael was very aggrieved. He had been trapped inside the treasury without anyone else ever since he was a child, waiting for Hull to come pick him up. As he didn’t have any contact with others, he was still as simple as a child.
As soon as he saw his brother, he started crying furiously.
Suo Fei patted his head and softly comforted him.
After seeing the tiny dragon, Hull was somewhat surprised but extremely happy. Seeing the dragon cry in this manner, his voice choked with emotion as he spoke with remorse, “Nael, I’m sorry.”
He wanted to pet Nael but unfortunately, his body couldn’t move an inch. So, he could only look at Nael and awkwardly coax him. Nevertheless, his feelings were sincere.
Suo Fei felt touched and the strange mood he had towards Hull also subsided by a great deal. He brought Nael close to Hull and let the two brothers who had been separated for a long time show affections to one another.
When lil’ Nael had finished venting out his grievances, he lied on the bridge of the green dragon’s nose and whiningly said, “Brother, come with us. Let’s go home.”
Everyone became silent because of this sentence.
Hull spoke with some discomfort, “Brother can’t leave now. Nael, follow…” He paused and shot a glance at Samael but didn’t say anything.
Samael didn’t respond. Suo Fei thought about it and eventually stepped forward and said to Hull, “h.e.l.lo, I’m Sofey.”
Hull looked at Suo Fei with indifference. Suo Fei was unsure if it was his illusion but he felt that Hull seemed hostile towards him.
They were meeting for the first time so it stood to reason that he shouldn’t have offended him, right?
At this time, Nael also came over and told Hull, “Brother, the elf is a good person. He treats me well.”
Because of Nael’s words, Hull replied to Suo Fei, “Elf, h.e.l.lo. I’m a jadeite green dragon, Hull.”
He spoke in a low voice that had a trace of alienation but Suo Fei suppressed the discomfort in his heart. He came here to request for something, not to play. Moreover, even if he didn’t have a request, he still had to save Hull for Nael’s sake. After all, when he was in the Demon Realm, he wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed so effortlessly if Nael didn’t attack the Demon Tower.
“I brought the Transmogrifier so I can rescue you.” Suo Fei got right to the point.
Upon hearing this, Hull’s cold and indifferent att.i.tude towards Suo Fei lessened. He stared hard at Suo Fei, as if he was re-evaluating him with some doubt in his eyes. After a while, he asked, “You’re a pureblood Elf?”
It was a question but his tone had certainty. Suo Fei answered, “Yes.”
Hull continued staring at him, “You must be an adult.”
Suo Fei frowned, uncertain of what Hull was trying to imply. He could only nod and reply, “Yes.”
“You’ve held your rite of pa.s.sage so why don’t you know that we’re mortal enemies?”
Sophie was stunned. What did he say?How could I not know of this?Oh, but it’s true that I haven’t had my rite of pa.s.sage ceremony.
After thinking about it, he felt that he had nothing to hide about this matter so Suo Fei directly said, “You may not know this but on my rite of pa.s.sage, my father betrayed the Elves and cut down the G.o.d-bestowed Holy Tree. Naturally, I couldn’t go through my rite of pa.s.sage.” After a pause, Suo Fei continued, “This matter isn’t a secret in Yalance. Nearly everyone knows of it.” This covertly ensured that he wasn’t lying.
“What’s your surname?”
Suo Fei answered, “Evans.”
“Your father is Grantlyn Evans?”
Suo Fei nodded and said, “Yes.”
Hull’s eyes narrowed and he didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he asked Suo Fei, “We don’t know each other so you’re saving me under what condition?”
Seeing Hull’s bluntness, Suo Fei didn’t cover up the truth but said, “I want to use the resurrection artifact.” Suo Fei also wanted to say that he would save him even if Hull didn’t give him the resurrection artifact since he was saving him because of Nael but chose not to say it out after thinking about it. It would only sound too pretentious if he did.
Hearing this, Hull didn’t seem to be surprised. He stared straight at Suo Fei and asked, “Who is it that you want to ressurect?”
Suo Fei replied, “My mother, Vixanne Cindy.”
“There’s not much energy left in the resurrection artifact and it could only be used on one person. I can give it to you.”
He didn’t expect Hull to be so forthright. Suo Fei was overjoyed at the unexpected good news and hurriedly said, “Thank you!”
Hull didn’t say anything else. Suo Fei happily took out the Transmogrifier and began activating it.
Samael stood aside during the whole exchange. Compared to his friendliness towards Nael, he seemed to be more indifferent towards Hull.
Suo Fei didn’t notice this. He was focused on activating the Transmogrifier. It took longer than the time it took for Nael.
After an hour, it was fully activated and white light enveloped the jadeite green dragon.
When the dazzling light faded, a figure jumped out and landed in front of Suo Fei.
Suo Fei inwardly thought that Hull’s appearance wasn’t that outstanding, but it was elegant and delicate. The man in front of him… was completely different from his initial impression of Hull.
However, Suo Fei felt a strong feeling of familiarity with his current appearance.
