"Only two people may go?" The high priests of the various God Kingdoms immediately grew suspicious.
"Prince Longqier, since we've already arrived here, you can bring our children out front directly!"
"Our God Kingdoms can guarantee that nothing improper will happen!"
The high priests of the God Kingdoms immediately spoke to Longqier.
"Heh heh, esteemed priests of the God Kingdoms, I'm the one calling the shots here now, not you."
"If you don't want to see them, then wait until you've paid the ransom. I'll let you inspect them afterward!" Prince Longqier sneered upon hearing this, showing the high priests of the God Kingdoms no courtesy whatsoever.
The expressions of the high priests of the God Kingdoms changed again and again in the face of his vile attitude.
Yet, since they still had no idea what had become of their children, they exchanged glances and could only accept the condition in the end.
Surely the Beastfolk would not dare act recklessly. Otherwise, it would truly mean launching an all-out war against the God Kingdoms.
"Fine, Prince Longqier. We'll go in groups of two to inspect them!"
The high priests of the God Kingdoms discussed matters once more.
In the end, a high priest from the Wind God Kingdom and one from the Thunder God Kingdom formed the first group.
Meanwhile, the high priest of the Sun God Kingdom, who should have been the most forceful of them all, claimed he would stay behind to keep an eye on Longqier and decided to go last.
Would this old fellow really be so kind-hearted? Nalant had been hiding behind the crowd, watching the high priest of the Sun God Kingdom all along.
When he heard the man being so yielding and putting the greater good first, Nalant found it hard to believe.
