Chapter 409: 409
“This evidence will not make a difference . Even if I were to help, the Jade Root is the trial court above the royal family . I can’t disobey their decision,” the Fairy King said . “What’s more, even if I don’t execute the sentence, there is Cassia the King of Trees . ”
“If that is the case, what the judiciary of the fairies…” The dark-haired man suddenly paused . The tremor in the forest was gone, which meant that the Fairy King had left .
The Jade Root had existed for thousands of years, and only the Fairy King and the King of Trees could speak against its judgments . There was not much they could do because compared with the four votes for the Fairy King and the King of Trees, the Jade Root had 19 votes .
The Pavru Fairy Empire became arrogant because it had existed too long . Now they were sentencing two innocent natural blessers to death for no reason .
The nature blessers were gifts! They were the darlings of nature . They could make lightning-quick progress in any cultivation, the genius beyond common sense could explain . How could the Jade Root hand down a death sentence to such geniuses recognized by nature?
“How stupid!” The dark-haired man clenched his fists, eyes filled with anger and determination . “The law of nature will try those who violate it!”
Two figures appeared next to the man . “Sug, give the order now! I have already said it, those old men at the top have long forgotten the root of their struggle . Power and arrogance have eroded their souls . They have forgotten that nature is the root of us the fairies!”
“Agreed!” a woman echoed, her voice cold . “The current fairy empire is huge and bloated, ancient and corrupted . Let us save Klein and leave! I feel like vomiting with every extra second of staying here!” Coldness and disdain filled her green eyes .
The dark-haired man, Sug waved away the magic circle, watching as the Retrospective Circle that his mates worked so hard to gather and produce dissipate .

Yet, the truth did not matter anymore . He suddenly realized why even the most gentle Fairy King left .
“Let’s go… go home . Inform everyone to get ready!” He turned around, finally coming out of his hesitation as he strode back in the direction he had come . The other two followed closely behind him, leaving the home they grew up without looking back .
They quickly left the forest . As they crossed the coverage area of the Mothertree, they heard heavy footsteps coming from a direction .
“These footsteps belong to the Six-eyed Snake-tailed Beast! It’s a high-form violent creature!”
Sug’s expression turned grim as he looked toward the direction of the sound . A faint green light appeared over his eyes, enabling him to see through the woods and make out what happened in the far distance .
“That beast is attacking humans again! It is going to eat them!” Feeling enraged, he shouted, “Stop it!”
“Aye!” the two figures answered in unison .
Three figures faded into shadows and moved quickly through the forest . After passing through a dense group of cherry trees, Sug saw what was happening ahead .

An elephant-sized lizard with six eyes, wearing thick rock armor, was charging at two ordinary humans . The humans were too afraid to even run .
“Save them!” Sug had no time to think about why there were ordinary humans there . He drew his sword and lunged forward, triggering the white silver-class bloodline ability in him .
“Arching Light . ”
Sug shouted . The sword in his hand lit up in a rainbow-like light . It shot out like lightning in an arc, blocking the six-eyed lizard in the front .
The six-eyed lizard crashed against the colorful arc with a loud sound of metal banging the rock . A silver class himself, but Sug was no match for the six-eyed lizard . He knew he had to back off .
However, the other two who attacked the lizard simultaneously from both sides had helped take part of the pressure off of him .
“Run! You two!” Seeing that the two humans were still standing there, Sug shouted at them angrily .
One of the humans was a burly young man wearing a common black short-sleeve shirt and camouflage trousers . There was no talent stone on his body (talent stone represents the contract with the fairy; the more beautiful the color and texture, the higher the talent) . The other one was a farmer, appearing like an honest man . He looked so scared that his face had turned pale . The sickle in his hand had fallen to the ground, and his body was shaking . Judging from his attire, he was an ordinary farmer at the edge of the fairy forest .

“Are you an ordinary human looking for entering a covenant with the Fairies? Is the farmer your guide?” Sug guessed it instantly .
Fortunately, the young man’s response was swift; he pulled the farmer back and ran out some ten meters away, avoiding stung by the tail of the lizard .
“It’s you again! Sug! Why am I seeing you every time I come out to forage? You are a star of bad luck!” The six-eyed lizard was furious to see its prey had escaped . But there was nothing it could do about it . It had fought Sug many times before . Like Sug, it was a silver-class being . Its power and strength far surpassed the limit of humans . Its strength did not differ much from Sug . No one had any advantage over and could kill the other . The best thing they could do was to run away from each other .
Lin Sheng curiously looked at the lizard . He almost made it his dinner just now . But now he was happy he did not do that because this lizard’s strength was extraordinary . Had he eaten it, it would have gone against his intention of going it low key here .
Coming from the dark spirit cave of Caerphabor, his purpose was to scout the place alone . He learned from the farmer that the cave world of Pavru was a natural world where humans and fairies co-existed, much like the beings in the mysterious realms . Here, all the powerful ones were the fairy soldiers who had entered a covenant with and gained a power talent from the fairies .
So using some gold as an exchange, Lin Sheng asked the farmer to take him near the Mothertree . They said the place was relatively safe . He wanted to see if he could find the fairies to enter a covenant with them . But not long into his journey, he bumped into the six-eyed lizard .
“It looks like things are much more complicated here than in Caerphabor, and the fairies here have chosen to mix with the humans,” Lin Sheng said to himself . He was surprised . “The fairies and the dark spirits are both soul-powered beings . Pure soul-powered creatures are especially vulnerable before a natural nemesis like me . But once they and the living things with flesh and blood coalesced, it will patch this imperfection . They can even leverage this advantage to become even more powerful souls . ”
While he was deep in thought, the six-eyed lizard went away after fighting with Sug and his mates . The Sug and his mates fought the six-eyed lizard with talents and sword skills . They were like magic warriors . In contrast, the Darksiders were more like magicians .
After the six-eyed lizard left, Sug and his mates breathed a sigh of relief . They looked at Lin Sheng and asked, “Are you here to look for the fairies to have a covenant with them? Stay away from here these few days, it is dangerous around here . If not for us, you two would have become dinner of the beast,” Sug said, his tone of voice harsh .
“Thank you for saving us . ” Lin Sheng put on a grateful look . “My name is Lin Sheng . I’m an adventurer trying my luck here . ”
He spoke in Deviltongue . His accent had changed slightly with the help of the farmer . It had a weird country accent that no one had ever heard before . Sug and his mates listened for a while and could only understand half of it .
“Err… Let’s not talk in this place . Come with me . If you really want to find the fairies for a covenant, I can help—for a fee,” Sug said bluntly .
Lin Sheng was startled . Earlier, he only asked the farmer to bring him here when he sensed a strong energy fluctuation . He did not expect that this man who had “saved” him offered to bring him to find a fairy . Compared to these three people, the farmer certainly knew this place not as much as them . So Lin Sheng changed his plan .
“Really?” He was wide-eyed, looking very surprised, but it was not over the top . He made himself look like he had great self-restraint and gave the impression that he was nice as well as steady . At least, it would not make him look like a bumpkin .
“Of course, we are in this trade,” the handsome young man beside Sug said with a smile .
While looking at the three, Lin Sheng something else crossed his mind . He was going to explore the cave world of Pavru more slowly and thoroughly . I’ll get a place to stay first before going back to Henricqal . I can then come back to explore this place from time to time, he thought to himself .
