Suddenly, a beautiful figure in bright green walked through the crowd and knelt down in front of Angor.
"My Lord, I am willing to follow your orders. I am willing to listen to your commands."
This was a young girl with a light green puffy skirt that was spread out on the ground because of her kneeling. She was like a tender sprout in early spring, trembling with immaturity.
She was the first Krakok they met in Soul Genesis Garden.
Papaya from Sprouts Village.
Angor glanced at the Grand Priest. Papaya's presence in the group was obviously arranged by the Grand Priest.
Papaya's eyes were filled with a pleading look as if she had something to say. But she didn't say anything. Instead, she knelt down to show her loyalty.
With Papaya leading the way, the rest of the Krakoks followed like dominoes. A young man who admired Papaya thought for a while and knelt down as well. The boy's parents were a middle-aged couple. Seeing their son kneeling, they looked at each other and knelt down as well … One by one, they all knelt down and pledged their loyalty to Angor in less than a minute.
When the High Priest saw this, he couldn't help but stroke his beard. There were tears and laughter in his eyes. He remembered that Angor mentioned that he knew Papaya, so he decided to use Sprouts Village as a base. Of course, he also chose Papaya. And Papaya's help really worked in the end.
Angor nodded after everyone finished swearing their oaths.
Now that he had promised to take them away, he had to think about where to put them.
Although there were 81 of them, they were too small. If they were all squeezed together, a one-meter-wide box would be able to fit them all.
Therefore, the remaining space in the bracelet was more than enough to accommodate them. However, he couldn't just stuff them into the bracelet. There were still some valuable items in there, and he couldn't keep an eye on them all the time.
He considered and took out a piece of untiered "ebony" from his bracelet. Using Thaw, he began to carve it with Hand of Spell. About two minutes later … A skyscraper that Angor saw in a city back on Earth appeared in front of them.
Angor set up a circular base at the bottom of the four-meter-tall model, which had several square recesses on it.
All the Krakoks were shocked when they saw the skyscraper, and they started whispering to each other.
He placed the model in front of everyone and gestured for Papaya to step forward. "You, come here."
Papaya pointed at herself and looked around to make sure no one was around. Then she walked to the base of the model nervously.
"What's your name?" Angor pretended he didn't know anything.
Papaya paused for a second and realized something. "Papaya, I'm not sure." I'm Papaya, sir. "
"Alright. Papaya, you'll be the leader of this branch for now. " Angor pointed at the model of a tall building. "This building has 15 floors and about a hundred rooms. You'll be in charge of distributing them."
"Is this really for us?" Papaya asked in surprise. "Is this really for us? I understand! Thank you, sir! "
"I'll give you one hour to arrange for everyone to move in." Angor asked Papaya to arrange the rooms herself. This was the first time they saw a building like this, but the structure was simple enough.
Papaya nodded and took a deep breath. "Everyone, follow me. We'll gather at the bottom of the skyscraper," she said to her clansmen behind her.
Angor glanced at the Grand Priest and asked him to come out for a moment.
The Grand Priest nodded and followed Angor out of the Centenary Palace.
Shadow glanced at Angor but didn't follow them. Instead, he stood at the edge of the building and used his spirit feelers to check the interior of the building. There were about seven or eight rooms on each floor. The rooms were not big, but they all had balconies. More interestingly, none of the rooms had doors. However, there were piles of wood inside the rooms. Clearly, Angor wanted them to make their own doors and furniture.
"So considerate. Considering the boredom of the journey, he left some for them." Shadow curled his lips. He now had a better understanding of Angor's meticulousness.
Angor and the Grand Priest arrived at the entrance of the Centenary Palace.
"Anything related to the Krakoks? Fruits, livestock, books, or even art pieces … I'll take them with me."
Since Angor agreed to the Grand Priest's request, he would do his best. A Krakoks without a proper culture and wisdom would never be able to survive in the future. That was why Angor asked for it.
The Grand Priest stared at Angor in a daze for a moment.
He let the hummingbird land on the ground and bowed to Angor. "Perhaps this is the fate of the Krakoks, sir."
Angor chuckled. He didn't say anything about the Grand Priest's "fate".
An hour later, the Grand Priest arrived at the Centenary Palace with all the clerics and a group of hummingbird knights.
The clerics represented the heritage of culture. Each of them carried a thick stack of scrolls, books, and paintings in their hands.
The hummingbird knights represented the wisdom of life. They carried all kinds of items, such as handicrafts, seeds, and seedlings. Some of them were even holding struggling animals in their arms.
"My Lord, these things …" The High Priest was a little embarrassed. From his point of view, he had brought too many things.
Angor glanced at the items but didn't think much of it. The Krakoks only had the size of one's hand. No matter how many things they had, they didn't mean much. For example, one of the clerics had a book in his hand. If Angor didn't look closely, he would think that the book was just a pile of sand.
Angor didn't think that there were too many of them.
Angor piled some soil on the ground and returned to the Centenary Palace. The Krakoks would be able to grow their own crops during the journey, so that they could have enough food and clothing to eat.
When the hummingbird knights and clerics saw the model of the Centenary Palace, they couldn't help but look at it in surprise. Under Papaya's command, they worked together to add "knowledge of culture" and "wisdom of life" to the Centenary Palace.
After another hour, everything in the Centenary Palace was finally done.
Angor signaled the clerics and hummingbird knights to leave the building. He then went to the front of the Centenary Palace and cast several illusion nodes around the building.
These illusions were used to confuse people and prevent them from stepping out of the Centenary Palace.
"Say your goodbyes. This is your last minute in your homeland."
Almost all the 81 Krakoks, except for the children, burst into tears.
Angor didn't care what they were doing. He looked at Papaya who was sitting alone on the stairs.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Angor sent a voice transmission to Papaya.
Papaya looked up in confusion and quickly stood up when she saw Angor looking at her from afar. "Sir …"
"Just a whisper. I can hear you."
Angor noticed the begging look in Papaya's eyes when she expressed her sincerity. She didn't say it out loud, which made Angor feel a little bit better about her.
If she really did that, Angor would never agree to it since it might look like she was asking for a favor. But she didn't say it out loud. She only looked at Angor with pleading eyes. Now, it was up to Angor to decide whether he would accept her request or not.
"Sir, I'm the only family my grandmother has left. I don't know how sad she'll be if I leave her. It might be forever … "Thinking of her grandmother, Papaya could not stop her tears from running down her cheeks.
"You want to take your grandmother with you?"
Papaya nodded.
"We don't know how long this journey will take. Don't think it'll be easy. The unknown is always the scariest thing. I'm sure it'll be a tough journey. Are you sure you want to take your grandmother with you? Also, is she really willing to leave? A fallen leaf can't return to its roots. Can you really make the decision for your grandmother? "
Papaya considered for a moment and nodded again. She and her grandmother relied on each other since childhood, and she didn't want to leave her alone.
"Alright. Since you've made up your mind, I'll take her with me. You'll be responsible for all the consequences. "
Angor stopped talking to Papaya and walked to the Grand Priest. "It's time. We're leaving."
While everyone was sobbing inside the building, Angor waved a hand and put the building back into his bracelet.
The High Priest looked at the empty space in front of him. His heart was filled with sadness, but also a trace of hope.
"Thank you, sir …" The Grand Priest knelt down and kowtowed to Angor while crying. The other clerics followed suit. The knights took off their helmets and bowed to Angor on one knee.
"Rise. Our future is still uncertain. I don't think I can accept your gratitude now. "
Angor nodded to Shadow, who had been watching the show. "Let's go."
Shadow nodded. Angor, Angor, and Puppet leaped over the kneeling clerics and disappeared from the palace.
The people kneeling on the ground didn't get up for a long time. At some point, a cleric came to the Grand Priest and tried to help him up. But when he reached out to touch him, the High Priest collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
Everyone finally realized that the Grand Priest was already dead. Despite the tears in his eyes, he still had a faint smile on his face.
Angor and Shadow were passing by the sacred mountain when they suddenly heard someone singing.
They looked up and saw a group of singers singing the Epic of Fairies with their eyes closed at the peak of the Sacred Mountain. The singer standing at the front was the girl with the black birthmark on her face who had been selected to join the Sky Choir.
The first rays of the morning sun shone upon the land.
"The first hero broke into the garden of flowers with a sword in hand. Under the longing of the red-haired princess, he plucked the first rose stained with morning dew.
"The second hero hid his evil aura and hid in the kingdom of serpents. Under the mask of a cunning human, he waited for the dawn of the second night amidst the flames of war.
"The third hero spread his wings and stepped into the castle of darkness. Under the gentle singing of the Grand Priest, he picked up his scepter and welcomed the third guest of light.
"The fourth hero opened the gate in the sky. Under the guidance of the glorious light, he opened the black tome and awakened the fourth soul."
The "Hymn of Fairies" should have ended here.
But this time, the singer didn't end the song. Instead, she began to sing something they had never heard before — the fifth stanza.
"The last hero carried hope and illuminated the hopeless dawn. Souls trapped in the sea of bitterness, follow the lighthouse in the darkness to seek the light of dawn …"
