"Storm Nine-headed Dragon? That's what you're talking about? "
This was a decayed stone that seemed to be carved from stone. Or, perhaps I should call it a stone that looked like a crossbow. This gray stone was covered in moss, and white dust kept falling off my hand. There was no elemental energy around this stone at all. It would have been nothing more than trash if left outside.
However, this was indeed one of the four foundational elements of Dragon World. Dragon City had finally decided to deliver this God Equipment of the Wind Element to me.
"This used to be a powerful wind element God Equipment. It's said that it doesn't need any ammunition. Just the fierce winds it summons are capable of piercing through the clouds. And, the angry roars of the wind element's attacks are just like the angry roars of a giant dragon. That's how it got its name."
The silly cat's knowledge of treasures was probably maxed out. She even knew about such a strange item.
"By the way, I should mention that the Gold Elves were the most skilled archers in ancient times. This God Equipment is probably one of their ancestors' hidden treasures. In that generation, there were no Gods of faith or Divine Concepts like we have today. Everyone was born Gods. "
The Gold Elves had an incredibly long history as they were one of the first creatures to be created in the mortal plane. It was no longer reliable to say that the Gold Elves were from the same generation as Aillé. As for the Gold Elves' history … the last one was right in front of me. Considering how the silly cat was becoming more and more irritable due to the elves' internal conflicts in the mortal plane, I felt that it would be best not to actively try and provoke her.
"Yep, it sounds really amazing. But right now, it's probably too old even if you throw it in a museum."
This God Equipment sounded quite amazing, but it was obvious that it couldn't be used. I felt that no matter how amazing a God Equipment was, if it wasn't maintained for several tens of thousands of years, it would become nothing more than a fossil.
"Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't happen. That's because God Equipment contains divine power, and the most basic attribute of divine power is eternal. Most God Equipment won't naturally break. But, the true reason why this God Equipment became like this is because of the current situation in the mortal plane. "
It was obvious that a huge problem had appeared in this plane. As one of the four key nodes in the construction of this plane, this former Divine Artifact had obtained certain special privileges in this plane and had become the barometer of the plane. And it seemed like it would turn into sand with the wind at any moment, which also proved that this plane was in its final years.
Since the Titans were known as the Children of the Earth, most of them were composed of the earth element. That was why when they collapsed this dimension, they also affected the foundation of the four elements. When considering the opposing relationship between the four elements of wind and earth, I was absolutely certain that this Wind God Equipment had been the most damaged of the four elements of wind that had turned into a fossil.
From a certain standpoint, Dragon City didn't have any good intentions. Considering how difficult it would be to obtain a fire-type God Equipment in the Water Elemental Plane, I told them that it would be best if I could obtain a fire-type God Equipment. If that wasn't possible, I could also obtain a water-type God Equipment. However, it was evident that they didn't listen.
. "I flipped open my notebook and ticked it off. I had completed another quarter of my task.
Of the four elemental God Equipment, I had already obtained the God Equipment of Earth. The God Equipment of Fire shouldn't be too much of a problem. Yesterday afternoon's measurements showed that the Elemental Tide had become unbalanced again. It seemed that another Elemental God had perished. Judging from the elemental waves, it was most likely the Water Elemental God. It seemed that Solo had successfully negotiated with the Water Elemental God.
However, this unbalance actually made the Dragon World's Elemental Tide even more balanced. It would seem that the collapse of the Dragon World would be delayed.
The reason? The main reason for Ömdiroken's incident wasn't that the Earth Elemental God had died. It was that I had destroyed the Earth Elemental Throne. This was just like a government organization. If a department's manager died, it would be enough to simply replace him. The effects wouldn't be too great. However, if the department that manager was in charge of was destroyed, then the effects would be quite troublesome.
The fire element was the opposite of the Water Elemental God. The fire element didn't have a Fire Elemental God to begin with, and now that the Water Elemental God was gone as well, the two Elemental Thrones were still in effect, making the balance even more balanced. Now that the Wind Elemental God and Earth Elemental God were both rather weak, the four elements were perfectly balanced.
"Ailos … It would seem that the legends were indeed unreliable. She actually treated him as someone who lacked emotions. At the very least, Harloys wasn't wrong. She truly loved her husband deeply. In that case, I should revise my plan as well. After all, I really like happy endings. Yep, although we're the core members of the FFF faction, true love doesn't burn down has its own traditions. "
I slightly changed some things in my notebook, but placed them on the third priority list. I would only consider completing them if the conditions were met. Before completing my "grand plan", any extra sympathy would be nothing more than an extravagant emotion.
However, the fact that the four elements were perfectly balanced was similar to the ancient elemental balance. This was doubtlessly a good thing for those who desired to make breakthroughs. It was foreseeable that there would be a new batch of people who would make breakthroughs among my subordinates, which would be helpful for my future plans. In that case, I could barely count as owing them a favor. If the conditions were right, it would be fine to help them out.
"… Think of an excuse to help them out? Is this what you call being a tsundere? It's not nice at all for a man to be tsundere. "
"Nonsense. I don't even know if the 'Soul Burial Ice' will be able to protect their souls. They're elemental creatures, after all. Right, did you deliver the second piece of Soul Burial Ice? "
"Yep, the messenger already reported that the person received the letter and the ice."
"… He didn't tear it off?"
"He didn't."
I nodded. This was already far better than I had expected. It would seem that I had solved yet another problem.
"… You're so evil. If he really did as you said in your letter, the entire world would probably be shocked. Your 'old friend' would be in great trouble."
"Ha, that's exactly the effect I wanted. The third piece will be ready tomorrow. Someone will come to take it then. As for the last piece … "
"You're still keeping secrets from me?"
"No, I haven't thought of who to give it to yet. Anyone who can obtain this won't be a simple existence."
"If there's really no other choice, we can …"
"No, that's the worst-case scenario. Let me think about it."
I shook my head. I had gone too far this time. I had laid out far too many traps. If even one of them went wrong, it would be a huge problem. I had been dancing on a tightrope the entire time. One wrong step would send me into a bottomless abyss. Still, it seemed that I was dancing quite well.
"I'm about to obtain the divine item for the fire element. I've already obtained the divine item for the wind element and the earth element. All I'm missing is the divine item for the water element. Actually, I can make do with Stonevilla's Ocean Bottle. Of course, the prerequisite is that Lady Storm's divine power of the sea has already been filled to the brim. In that case, it seems that all the conditions have been met. We can start our plan now. Should I notify Orloss and Aillé …? "
"Don't be in such a rush. There's only one chance. We'll be in big trouble if we alert the enemy. Let's first see what the situation is like with the Bardi and Ottoman Empire. It's about time to activate our two critical chess pieces. "
I closed my notebook, which was now covered with all sorts of notes and patches. It would seem that I had been in too much of a rush. After all, the goal that I had been pursuing for so many years was right in front of me. It was only natural for me to be anxious.
"Indeed, there's only one chance. If the information is leaked, we'll become the world's public enemy. We should be more cautious."
I didn't expect that the silly cat would be even calmer than me at such a critical moment. She had clearly been so angry that she hadn't eaten for an entire day and night when she read about the fairies' special supplement … It seemed that the silly cat really didn't need to eat. In that case, wouldn't it be a waste for her to steal food from me?
"Right, how does it feel to reach the Legend rank? Thanks to you, I've also broken through my bottleneck. I'm now at least three times stronger than I was a week ago! "
The silly cat was quite proud of herself. Breaking through to the Legend rank had increased her mana by an entire level. She could now use many magic spells that she couldn't previously use. Plus, she could recover from all sorts of forbidden spells and minor forbidden spells. Not to mention, she also had this physical body's buff. It was only a casual statement that her mana had increased by three times.
"Me? This is already the fifth time. What else can I feel? "
Although I had broken through, I could only smile wryly when I felt the incredibly special Soul Imprint in my heart.
It wasn't that there was a problem with my Soul Imprint, or that my power level was lower than I had expected. It was the opposite. My power level had far exceeded my expectations, so I had profited. And, it just so happened that this "profited" actually proved one of my guesses, which made me feel rather complex inside.
"… I can only take things one step at a time."
