2563 The Disappointed Royalty!
Du Miao held his breath as he spoke, awaiting the Mirror God and God of Fools’ answer.
Du Miao had not trusted this promise but had looked forward to it. However, he and the other mbers of the Freedom Federation’s royalty had only been served repeated disappointnts.
Firstly, the Mirror God and God of Fools had maintained their high and mighty attitudes, which did not align with their promise at all. Furthermore, they were still the ones who called the shots on most issues. They only sought out the opinions of others when they were in a good mood. If they were in a bad mood, they would not even inform the others of their decisions.
Now, Ka Ma had requested to contract a fey with a powerful bloodline that was also suitable for her. Du Miao felt that she was being rather greedy to be eyeing the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, but in a practical sense, her request was reasonable as she was still a mber of the Freedom Federation’s royalty.
Although it could not be said that Ka Ma had contributed significantly to the Freedom Federation’s developnt thus far, she had made her share of contributions.
Besides the Mirror God, Goddess of rcy, God of Fools, the other mbers of royalty took shifts guarding the territory in the marsh world.
Ka Ma had only ended up in such a state because she happened to have the bad luck of encountering an invasion by one of the marsh world’s powerful Dictators. If any of the other mbers of royalty had been in her situation, they would not have ended up in a better state than Ka Ma.
If the Mirror God and God of Fools granted Ka Ma’s request and allowed her to form a contract with the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, it would show they had changed their mindsets to so degree.
But if they were unwilling to give her the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, Du Miao felt that there was no point in holding out any more hope for the Mirror God and God of Fools.
The Three-Headed Dark Phoenix had co to the Freedom Federation after they killed a Radiance Envoy during a Major Federation eting and used the Radiance Envoy’s fey with the Barren bloodline’s essence blood to nurture a fey.
Although it was not as powerful as a regular fey with the Barren bloodline, it was still stronger than normal phoenix-species feys.
The God of Fools had intended to give the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix to the Mirror God as they had compatible affiliations.
But for an unknown reason, the Mirror God had decided not to contract the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix.
In the past, Ka Ma would never dare to covet sothing that the Mirror God once had his eye on. She was only choosing to do so now—when she was in her most destitute state—because she had been disappointed so many tis and wanted to test the Mirror God and God of Fools one last ti.
“Ka Ma can’t form a contract with the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix. I have a fey similar to the one she had that died. Give the Flowing Flas Pheasant to Ka Ma so she can form a contract with it!”
Du Miao received the Flowing Flas Pheasant from the Mirror God with a wooden expression before he looked deep into their eyes and left the room.
Once he was out of the room, Du Miao sighed deeply. The last ember of hope he had been holding out for the Freedom Federation was extinguished.
Du Miao did not understand why the Goddess of rcy had left so abruptly. She was one of the three ‘gods’ of the Freedom Federation. Why would she want to leave the Freedom Federation out of the blue?
She had always been much more rciful toward the other mbers of royalty than the Mirror God and God of Fools.
It was only that she often crossed the line and acted recklessly. Last ti, she almost needled Na Na to the point that the latter lost what little life she had left and only stopped when the Mirror God stepped in to protect Na Na. The Mirror God had even issued a warning to the Goddess of rcy over that matter.
But now, it seed that the Goddess of rcy had been the most intelligent person in the entire Freedom Federation.
The Mirror God said with slight displeasure, “Ka Ma knows that I used to have my eye on the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix, yet she still dares to ask for it. She clearly doesn’t think much of .
The God of Fools did not say anything else.
The Mirror God was clearly the one who had persuaded him to change his attitude toward the other mbers of royalty. He had taken in the Mirror God’s suggestion and changed. But now, it was the Mirror God who was not walking the walk.
In truth, the Mirror God was always reasonable and did want to change the Freedom Federation.
It was only a sha there was nothing he hated more than others trying to take what he already saw as his own. If the Three-Headed Dark Phoenix had never caught his eye in the past, or if it was another fey of equal value, the Mirror God would not have hesitated to grant Ka Ma’s request.
The Mirror God had no clue just how much of a ripple effect his rejection would have.
“Brother, do you think the Radiance Federation has sothing special that allows them to negotiate with the marsh world?”
The Mirror God deeply suspected Chef Supre and Iron Prison’s words. He did not believe that Chef Supre and Iron Prison had the ability to back up their words. They had not even awoken their birth horoscopes. They did not even have the right to speak with Dictators who had set their spirit fires alight.
The God of Fools said with certainty, “We will indeed hand over resources to Chef Supre and Iron Prison first. But if they don’t help the Freedom Federation with our problem, we won’t let them take the resources back to the Radiance Federation.
“Chef Supre and Iron Prison have essentially led the people from the Radiance Federation into a trap. Chef Supre will have to make good on his word!
“It looks like the Radiance Federation has found a way to make the dinsional lifeforms more cooperative. Brother, go and see Chef Supre now. We won’t try to haggle. Just ask him to na his price. Regardless of what price he states, agree to it as long as it’s an amount we can afford.
“Rather than resources, what we need more of is ti. If we remain stuck in Fresh City for another six months, the Freedom Federation will really lose everything!
“The Radiance Federation’s goal is clear. They want to gain as many benefits as they can from helping us. They also don’t want to be too greedy and cause us to give up on asking them for help. So, it’s likely that one year’s worth of resources from all the cities’ earnings will be enough to cover the Radiance Federation’s price!”
The Mirror God nodded. He agreed with what the God of Fools had said.
