Village Head's Debauchery
chapter-536

He had received complaints from the Pixies about the current situation in the garden. He understood that a particular tree nymph had come with Orion previously, and was now threatening them all to burn down the garden if they didn't provide a way for her to get down here or find Orion and bring him to her.

Hearing Aegis of the Arctic's words, Orion's eyes couldn't help but light up with excitement.

Saria had fully recovered!

Now that she had fully recovered, wouldn't transporting her back to the village be even easier? He would only need to focus on taking care of the problem within the Prismerian kingdom without worrying about her health.

Thinking about this, Orion exhaled inwardly in relief before he nodded his head in response to Aegis of the Arctic Deity.

"Okay, I can tell that you have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll be waiting for you here until you are done," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said.

He immediately took back the divine energy that he poured upon the warriors to render them unconscious, causing them to wake up one by one before he opened a passage into the garden for them to pass through.

However, a voice immediately rang out in the air.

"Leave the crimson blade here. I would like to converse with him and also pose some questions personally," Aerialia said seriously as she looked at Orion.

Seeing that Fifi and the others were slowly stirring back awake, Orion shook his head in response. "No, you are coming with me," he replied. He understood that there were a lot of things that Aerialia wanted to ask about and gain information due to her current situation.

However, considering that he also needed some of the information that Aerialia wanted to ask about, there was no way he would leave her alone to learn about that information herself, especially since she purposefully didn't want to share some of the information he wanted with him.

Hearing Orion's response, Aerialia felt her brows twitch and instantly wanted to retort; however, the moment she remembered her current strengths and weaknesses, she refrained from saying anything that would escalate the issue and recomposed herself immediately before opening her mouth to speak.

"With thy strength and that of everyone else, I don't think there is aught else that would require thee to wield the crimson blade for a while," Aerialia said.

"Of course, I don't think so, too, but I think I'll feel safer if I have the crimson greatsword by my side," Orion responded.

She still hadn't released the restriction on the greatsword, and it also didn't matter what she said, as he wouldn't be leaving the greatsword here.

Regardless, even though Aerialia had already guessed the real reason why Orion didn't want to leave the sword here, she still felt irritated that she was arguing with a mortal this way.

"There are other reasons why thou dost not wish to leave the sword here, right?" Aerialia asked, furrowing her brows with a frown. When she had sealed a huge portion of her soul with the crimson greatsword, she hadn't expected to encounter this situation.

Instead, she had anticipated guiding the last of her children who would listen to her instructions without hesitation, watching over him as he took care of himself, and somehow rekindling the last of the winged race bloodline, even if it wouldn't be pure any longer.

Just as Orion was about to respond, a hand tightened around his grip, causing him to seal his lips quickly as he shifted his gaze back below.

He witnessed Fifi with her eyes wide awake.

"Orion, who are you talking to?" Fifi asked as she stared at Orion nervously.

Firstly, Orion helped her back up to her feet before he responded, "It's nothing. I was just rearranging my thoughts."

Fifi looked around for a moment before nodding her head in response, "What happened?" she asked, focusing her attention on the large pair of golden eyes staring at them from up above, whom she believed was responsible for making them unconscious.

"He wanted to talk privately with me. We will be leaving here soon, so don't worry," Orion responded.

Although Fifi could tell Orion was hiding something from her, since Orion had already said he would explain everything to them, she didn't see the need to press him about it now.

She would wait until they were done taking care of everything before deciding to ask him about it if he still seemed hesitant.

"Alright," Fifi replied, nodding in response.

A loud ancient sound suddenly boomed in the space around them and rang within their ears.

"Since everyone has woken up, I will open a passage into the garden, so be prepared!" Aegis of the Arctic Deity declared.

The Crystalforge clan's warriors immediately bowed their heads and thanked Aegis of the Arctic once more for his help, for allowing them to secure the means with which they had saved the Prismerion race from the curse.

Suddenly, a large gaping hole slowly spread out from the centre of where they stood, swallowing all of them in, as there was no longer a solid place under their feet for them to stand.

As he hadn't expected Aegis of the Arctic Deity to transport them to the garden like this, Orion immediately resummoned the crimson greatsword back into his crimson great word mark to avoid any accidents.

He tightened his grip on Fifi.

They were instantly poured back out from the ground in less than three breaths. The ground quickly sealed back up, and they landed on a field of fresh grass filled with multicoloured gemstones embedded within the ground. Several large, bright, dazzling arrays of crystals seemed to make up the sky, shining as brightly as the sun.

Some of them quickly snapped their gaze away as they got back up to their feet.

"Where are we now?" Seth asked, taking in their current location.

The surroundings bore an uncanny resemblance to the farm, except for the various gemstones of different colours sticking out of the ground and adorning the trees. Everywhere looked familiar yet strangely different as he turned his attention to Orion with a frown on his face.
