Chapter 1460 - 7: The Deal (Part 1)
"You already have clues! Right, right!" Tanaya suddenly flew up, looking down at the two people. The Elf Lady was excited, circling in the air a few times: "I should have known, ever since Former King Ai Ke built the city here, the Erune Nobles have held the secret of this port for thousands of years. Every stitch and thread of Ambeser, how could you not be aware?"
"Griffine, why didn’t you tell me beforehand?" Tanaya suddenly turned her head back, almost knocking her glasses off her nose. She hurriedly reached out to hold them.
"Aunt Tanaya, sigh... Mr. Brand, you..." The Princess had nothing to say. She did not intend to monopolize the Sky Blue Spear, but the legend of the Holy Spear was truly significant. No one could imagine the sensation that would arise if the legendary Holy Spear, as blue as the Sky Dome, reappeared in this world.
Neither the Flame Temple nor the Wind Queen Temple, nor the Dwarves and the Earth Temple of the Golden Mane Clan, could forgo the contest for this legendary Holy Relic.
At that time, how would the Erune Kingdom handle itself?
But Brand didn’t think so; he shook his head: "Princess, there are no secrets that can be kept in this world. Aunt Tanaya gave me an idea, leave it to me."
The Princess glanced at him, sighed, and could only nod.
Brand then raised his head and said to the Elf Lady in the sky, "Aunt Tanaya, you haven’t answered my question yet."
"Of course, it’s my lifelong wish," the Elf Lady flew to the display next to Brand. She sat at the edge of the display, one slender leg over the other, her hands on her knees, looking up at Brand: "Speak, young one from the Cadiloso family, son of Sword Saint Darius, what do you want to obtain from me?"
"That’s my grandfather." Brand replied irritably.
"Close enough, I don’t know your father. I can’t go around saying, ’Hey, that so-and-so’s son,’ right?"
Not quite right, but Brand thought if he tried to reason with an Elf, then there was something wrong with him. He pretended not to hear these words, turned around, and took a page of the manuscript from the Princess’s hand, then turned back and asked, "Will the Silver People know about this transaction?"
"Eh, why do you ask that?" Tanaya was slightly stunned.
"You know why, Aunt Tanaya," Brand had suspected for a long time that this Elf Lady might be Bujia’s spokesperson in the Mortal World, besides, apart from Bujia’s Scholar, who else would study ancient texts? He tapped lightly on the manuscript paper: "This is important because it’s the premise of our transaction."
"Premise? I understand." Tanaya pushed her glasses up, her eyes shimmering with inexplicable excitement: "Of course they will know, and not only that, I plan to send it back to the holy Great Library, and the entire Silver Society will be proud of me. Imagine, the Silver Alliance hasn’t been this agitated in at least sixty years."
Hearing her say this, Princess Griffine hesitated several times to interject but frowned and held back.
Brand noticed the Princess’s concern and decided to quickly get to the point, otherwise this Half-Elf Girl worried about getting sick. He said, "But there’s one thing, what if the spear already has an owner?"
"Of course it has an owner, isn’t its owner the legendary... wait," Tanaya turned back, frowned. Her eyes beneath her brows were glowing gray-blue, like a pale Blue Gemstone: "Could it be that the Erune Royal Family has already acquired the Sky Blue Spear? Or does it have a new owner?"
"You wouldn’t not know, Lady Tanaya. Those Holy Relics that appeared in the ancient, vast, star-like legends, when they reappear in this world, they come with their mission. They each symbolize the beginning or end of an era, so if the Sky Blue Spear appears in Ambeser or Erune, it proves it has already chosen someone." Brand looked at the little Elf Lady, thinking she must be aware of this legend.
Tanaya certainly knew, but only then did she remember. She pointed her finger at her delicate chin: "I see, then doesn’t this mean that the Sky Blue Spear wasn’t discovered by the previous Erune Royal Family?"
"In fact, it was Mr. Brand who discovered it, Aunt Tanaya, during the recent war." Princess Griffine finally answered.
