Chapter 424: Chapter 348 Stay Here

“Your Mimir… is quite something!” Finier looked at the skull in surprise and then nodded in confirmation. “After all, completely annihilating the Demons as a species is unrealistic–we’ve already tried. The children trapped in this plane are our true concern. Since they cannot leave this plane due to the curse, our solution is to make the plane leave the Abyss, and that is the only way to end their eternal imprisonment.”

“But… how are you going to separate the entire Androlina from the Abyss?” Lancelot asked, both astonished and extremely curious, “You mentioned earlier that you want to make the whole plane like the regions controlled by benevolent forces?”

“That’s right, boss!” Before Finier could respond, the skull eagerly interjected, “Boss, let me ask you, what’s most important in the Outer Layer?”

“Uh, I think I’ve heard this question before…” Lancelot furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, “Is it people’s beliefs?”

“You got it! But there’s no prize, haha!” The skull chuckled as it circled around him, “Heh, just joking… Yes, the most important thing in the Outer Layer is human beliefs. Don’t be fooled by the unreal beauty of the south bank of the Hoffenstan River nowadays; it must have been a realm of Nightmares, filled with ghosts. It was the purity and goodness of the local residents that transformed this environment. Once the whole plane becomes like the south bank, Androlina will be ‘spat out’ by the Abyss and become an independent plane within the Stellar Realm, though it’ll likely be quickly ‘captured’ by the Wild Frontier with similar alignment.”

“And when that moment comes, the eternal imprisonment of the children will be truly ended,” Finier said with a light chuckle. “Without Cang Ye’s presence, we can gradually shrink the Demons’ territory and thus achieve the goal of transforming the entire plane. As for the Tanari residents, they wouldn’t dare to attack on their own, and with Androlina’s transformation, they will eventually leave due to being unable to endure the surrounding environment. Of course, they can also choose to stay; perhaps we’ll see more Demons like Miss Elothysia who are willing to abandon the path of evil, which we naturally welcome very much.”

“This is truly a… crazy plan,” Lancelot was rendered speechless for a while by his astonishment, “But can this really work? I mean, extracting an entire plane from the Abyssal Plane sounds too exaggerated…”

“It will indeed be very difficult, especially since Androlina is such a deep layer; its connection to the plane itself is very strong,” Finier admitted with a nod. “But we have enough patience. After all, to protect these children, we’ve been fighting for countless centuries. That’s also what I wanted to talk to you about next, Sir Lancelot. Would you and your companions be willing to stay in Androlina and join the ranks of the Protectors?”

At this question, Elothysia’s eyes suddenly lit up at the side.

“I really love this place, the weather here, the meadows, and the people,” Lancelot said sincerely, “But… I’m sorry, I have other commitments, and there are people waiting for me to return.”

He did not miss the disappointment in the eyes of the Succubus Paladin. During this long journey, he had not been oblivious to her feelings, but in Lancelot’s heart, he still held the Knight’s conviction; he would never do anything that would dishonor a lady.

“Are you sure?” Aira, the King Consort’s eyebrows rose surprisingly, “Staying in the Abyss is not exactly conducive to one’s health and well-being. If you don’t want to stay in Androlina, you can leave through the portal in the Bedivere-Gian Forest…”

“Maybe one day I will regret my decision,” Lancelot smiled, “If any of my companions want to use that portal to leave, would you allow them to pass?”

“Of course, all of you will always be friends of the Aira clan,” Finier lifted the goblet in front of himself, “Thank you for everything you have done.”

The banquet lasted all night, but Lancelot excused himself shortly after the moon rose as it was time for his cultivation, and the empty feeling in his Dantian was not pleasant.

He left the noise of the fortress behind and headed towards a quiet little hill to the south, a perfect place for solitude. If nothing unexpected happened, he would meditate and practice Qi Cultivation all through the night until the first light of dawn touched his shoulders.

“This is a truly beautiful place,” Lancelot sat down on a gentle slope of delicate grass, seemingly speaking to himself.

“Are you not going to stay?”

The voice of the Succubus Paladin sounded behind him. A flash of bright blue light passed, and the figure of Elothysia appeared on the spot.

“Yes,” Lancelot nodded, his face showing no surprise, “Bruto’s old man is still at Twin Bridges Town, and I owe Tijana a life. She rescued me from the Eternal Stasis of the Mother of Demons, indirectly saving all of us. I’ve never liked owing anything to anyone, and besides, Bruto’s old man is still in Twin Bridges Town…”

“I also don’t like owing people, but how many lives do I owe you now?” Elothysia raised her arm, found a strap on her back, and with a gentle pull, the two pieces of her breastplate fell to the soft grass, “Back in that interrogation room, I swore to repay your kindness with my loyalty, but now you refuse to stay, how else should I repay you?”

“You don’t have to do this,” Lancelot turned his head away awkwardly, “We are friends, it’s natural to help each other…”

“Even among friends, it should not be that only one side gives and the other constantly takes,” Elothysia said unhurriedly as she removed the remaining plate armor, revealing the soft curves behind the hard metal, and then sat down next to the Human Knight, “Let me teach you how to make a Succubus happy, I think you might need this knowledge.”

“This isn’t right,” Lancelot turned, looking directly at Elothysia’s beautiful face in the moonlight, “You still have…”

“Oh, that?” The Succubus Paladin hooked up a corner of her mouth gracefully, “Let me tell you a little secret, there never was such a thing as an Angel…”

“What?” Lancelot was genuinely shocked, “But… why would you make up the existence of a lover?”

“Because it’s hard for people to believe that a Tanari could break away from evil by their own volition, and I don’t like to repeat my life story over and over,” the Succubus said with a light laugh as she unbuckled Lancelot’s armor straps, “Any other questions? If not, then let’s begin the lesson…”
