"Alright," he simply replied, "summon Doaf here at once."
She glanced silently at him before taking out a bird's wing and sent it to one of her aiders. In less than ten minutes, Arthur spotted Doaf coming fast along with so of his trusted subordinates.
He seed to mistake the summon as a calling of distress!
"You know this hurts," Arhtur couldn't help but mutter.
"What?" Doaf asked before turning around, "is everything alright?"
"This…" Arthur pointed at Doaf's entire body, "this lack of trust you have towards … c'mon, I'm not that weak!"
"Well," Doaf hesitated before saying, "I know you aren't but most of your strongest attacks are weakened greatly here," he said before sighing, "and things would only go south if you t an elite force like ours."
Arthur knew he was telling the truth but his pride was still hurt nonetheless. "I wanted to talk about how to summon my godfather."
"As I said," Doaf said in a strange way, "didn't we agree previously over this?"
He stole a glance at the nearby Alia mistaking this was for her to know what was going to happen.
"I want another approach," Arthur said, "a faster one," he added while his face showed how serious he was.
"This…" Doaf seed a bit hesitant before saying with an expression of loss over his face, "there might be another way but we need sothing to use to contact him."
"Like my pillars?" Arthur asked.
"I doubt they might be useful," Doaf sighed before adding, "you tried it once and what's the result?"
Arthur knew he was correct again, yet before he could say another idea the golden dragon suddenly said:
'Use the pillar George gave you.'
The eyes of Arthur suddenly shone brightly in blue light before he waved his hand and the next instant the short pillar appeared. "What about this?"
"This…" the face of Doaf changed before adding, "but using it will deplete most of its energy… I doubt it will be usable again!"
"If we don't summon my godfather here soon, I doubt we'll live enough to use it as much as you think."
Arthur's response was decisive and he didn't leave any room for discussion. "Are you sure?" Doaf asked, "once done this can't be retrieved again!"
'I can recharge its energy again,' Gege suddenly said, 'or I can absorb what remained inside… either way it won't be left unusable for us.'
"Just do it," Arthur threw the pillar towards Doaf before adding, "How long will this take?"
"I need to prepare everyone in here first," Doaf glanced over the pillar before sighing, "throwing off such a pearl like it was a re rock… you are really sothing."
Arthur only smiled before adding, "make this your top priority."
"I will," Doaf promised before asking in much curiosity, "may I know the reason behind such action?"
"Just in case," Arthur shrugged, "we need to get in touch with my godfather soon, right?"
"Indeed," Doaf didn't seem to buy such a reason but the next mont he retreated with his entourage fast. "You also go back," he said, "I'll have sothing to do inside the garden world."
"Be safe," she typically said.
"Hahaha, it's my own world. What can go worse there?"
He then vanished inside a portal before her eyes while she only sighed and left back to the city to rebuild.
As for him, he had another plan ongoing in his mind. "Alright Gege, I'm now all yours."
"How lovely," she said before adding, "I hope you an it."
"Hahaha, sure," he didn't get why she was groaning like this, "now where should I go?"
"To the mirror tree," Gege said, "it's ti for you to start unleashing its true power."
"Alright," Arthur didn't ask her to move him directly as he flew over the garden taking a big tour there. He checked over his werewolf and found him strictly training his newly gained guards.
"They will be just the beginning," he promised before heading towards the mirror tree.
"How can I use it?" he asked before adding, "is it still connected with Olor?"
"Any connection with the outside world is severed," Gege answered.
"Then what am I doing here exactly?" he asked with much loss over his face.
"This tree isn't designed only to link to people you know," she said before adding, "it can also help in linking with everyone provided that they are in the sa world as yours and have the sa beliefs and desires as you."
"Like the desire to kill those bastards of dark clans, right?"
"Indeed, but there is a catch," she sighed, "it's very energy consuming to use it this way. Besides, you need to activate it first to be able to unleash its full strength."
Arthur didn't doubt this would be a challenging task to do. "How can I provide energy to her?" he asked first to better understand the monster he was about to awaken.
"Not much," Gege said, "one pillar every one hour at least."
"W… What?!!" Arthur was inwardly shocked, "this is… just outrageous price!"
"But the return will dazzle you," she laughed before adding, "don't be stingy. You need to pay so to gain more, right? Besides, their pillars have not much use now."
"But…"
"Just try it for one day, if you aren't satisfied then you can stop it."
"Hmm… sounds fair," he muttered as paying twenty-four pillars was nothing for him, "how can I activate it then?"
"This is quite tricky," she honestly replied, "you need first to gather your blood."
"My blood?!" he was taken aback, "how much are we talking about here?" he had such a bad premonition about her quest.
"Hmm… let's see… at least the size of your old cauldron."
"This…" he was speechless out of shock, "it might kill !"
"If you used your human form then yeah," the golden dragon suddenly said, "but using your dragonair body will be more than enough."
"Still it's too much!"
"Ding! You can use at and healing pills to replenish your loss," the system stood on their side before adding, "Ding! You need this tree to be awakened and this is just the first step in doing so… getting her to be familiar with you."
"There are more violent steps like this one?!!" Arthur bellowed in disbelief while his face showed how deeply shocked he was.
