Palu Is a Companion / I Choose You!
Ren' expression changed slightly, then he nodded and said, "Okay."
Doesn't Itogami Island perfectly meet the requirements of this mission?
Moreover, in the original work, the original male protagonist, who replaced the Fourth Progenitor, also established the Night Empire on Itogami Island at the end of the story.
Moreover, Itogami Island is the main location of the mission, so Ren, who has traveled through time, has no choice but to go there.
Nangong Nayue was stunned when Ren agreed so readily.
She had considered the possibility of rejection and was even prepared to use threats and inducements, but to her surprise, Ren agreed to her request without even haggling.
"However, I want to go too."
"..."
Really.
Nangong Nayue knew things wouldn't go so smoothly.
The key point is that she only wants to take away Number Twelve and Xiao's younger sister; she has absolutely no desire to have any contact with Ren, this mysterious and dangerous individual.
God knows what this man was going to do on Itogami Island.
"Of course, if you disagree, that's fine too. I'll just take my Pal to Itogami Island myself later."
Looking at Ren's smiling expression, Nangong Nayue felt a headache coming on.
After all, it's unrealistic to expect her to forcibly take Number Twelve from Ren right now.
If he refuses now, and later he takes Number Twelve to Itogami Island without permission, he will not only be treated as an illegal immigrant, but he will also have a conflict with the security force because of bringing Number Twelve with him.
In the end, as the chief instructor of the Itogami Island garrison, he would inevitably have to be his enemy.
Chapter 266 Pal is a Partner
After careful consideration, Nangong Nayue nodded.
"Okay, I promise you."
"But what does Pal mean?"
"Meaning partner."
"..."
She really wanted to say, "Have you ever seen anyone seal their partner inside a sphere?"
But she didn't say much.
After reaching a verbal agreement with Ren, they went together to the previous camp.
The Fourth Ancestor's frozen domain only affected half of it.
There are still a few survivors in the camp, but they are greatly frightened and will take a long time to recover.
She felt a pang of pity as she looked at the corpses encased in ice.
If I had arrived earlier, perhaps so many people wouldn't have died.
Damn terrorists!
After Nangong Nayue landed, the camp leader, Liana, came over.
His eyes remained fixed on Ren, filled with awe.
After all, the other party killed a high-level orc capable of transforming into a divine beast with ease and even pulled her back from the brink of death.
However, after thinking it over, he looked at the ruins again.
What about Number Twelve who has awakened?
She remembered that when leaving the ruins, Number Twelve was awakened by the effects of the battle and indiscriminately froze everything around him.
If Ren hadn't reminded her that she ran fast enough, she might have ended up like those corpses.
"You're the person in charge of excavating the camp, right?"
Nangong Nayue's voice was arrogant as she surveyed Liana and the others around her with an emotionless gaze.
"My name is Liana - Karyana, the successor patriarch of the Caruana family in the War King Territory."
Liana straightened up slightly, giving a self-introduction tinged with pride.
"The Caruana family..."
Nangong Nayue let out a soft spit.
In fact, most ordinary people have no idea that the Caruana family exists.
Only those who frequently follow the news know that the Caruana family belongs to the War King Territory and holds the title of Earl.
However, one day in the past, the territory he ruled was suddenly invaded by the Beastmen, and in just over ten days, the name of Karyana became a thing of the past.
The victorious Beastmen tribe occupied the territory that had originally belonged to the Caruana family and established the Neplasi Autonomous Government.
Liana is the sixth successor to the Caruana family lineage.
The reason the other party appeared here is quite simple: they want to use the power of the Fourth Progenitor to reclaim everything they have lost.
However, Nangong Nayue, who knew the Fourth Progenitor involved many people, was well aware that Liana's idea was simply impossible to realize.
This is not because the Fourth Progenitor lacks ability, but because Liana herself has not been able to enjoy the power of this privilege.
If it weren't for this strange man's arrival, Liana would probably have been decapitated by her deceased brother's claws long ago.
"I see, Number Twelve has awakened, right? Where is she now?"
"There is currently no evidence to suggest that Number Twelve has awakened. The fact that the ruins were frozen may simply mean that the magic within Number Twelve was disrupted by the explosion."
Nangong Nayue said in a tactful tone.
"No, that's not right! I clearly saw Number Twelve wake up and summon a powerful familiar!"
Liana staked the revival of her family on this operation, investing all of her meager funds into it.
"Witch of the Gap, are you deceiving me?"
"If she's awake, then why hasn't she shown up yet?"
Nangong Nayue revealed a dangerous smile, her eyes slowly narrowing.
For some reason, Liana felt a chill creep over her, sending shivers down her spine.
"In short, this matter ends here. The Number Twelve the Fourth Primogenitor will be taken over by the Demon Sanctuary in the Far East. If you have any objections, please submit a report to the government through official channels. After acceptance, you will receive a reply within three working days."
Nangong Nayue finished speaking coldly.
Liana's eyes widened after hearing this.
Why did things suddenly turn out this way?
Despite facing the Witch of the Gap, who strikes fear into the hearts of Europe demons, Liana has staked her entire future on Number Twelve.
After paying such a high price, even nearly dying, does the Witch of the Gap really think she can make all her efforts go to waste with just a few words?!
"I won't let you take her away! Even legally speaking, I have the right to dispose of Number Twelve! Tell me, witch, what have you done to Number Twelve?"
Although Number Twelve's power is indeed terrifying, he has only been awakened for a short time, and it wouldn't be difficult for the Witch of the Gap to subdue him.
And most importantly, there's this strange man in front of me.
After sending himself away, he chose to face the power of Number Twelve alone.
As the person who was first to be affected, his safe return while Number Twelve has disappeared is clearly related to him.
However, Liana didn't dare to question Ren.
Firstly, he saved her life; secondly, his power was even more terrifying than that of the Witch of the Gap.
One was a witch who spoke official jargon, and the other was a strange young man of unknown origin. Liana knew very well who her attitude would be more effective with.
As expected.
After voicing her question, Nangong Nayue's face showed resentment.
In the past, she would never have said a word of nonsense, but after being included in the national team, there are some things she can't do too recklessly.
Seeing an opportunity, Liana Pursuer: "According to the rules, anyone who finds the host of the Fourth Progenitor will be qualified to become an Elector and participate in the Feast of the Crimson until the sealed Fourth Progenitor is fully resurrected."
"Therefore, neither Itogami Island nor the island nation's government has the right to stop it."
"Ha, do you know what it means to resurrect the Fourth Progenitor?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Nayue narrowed her eyes.
Her purpose in bringing Number Twelve to Itogami Island was to prevent outsiders from interfering with the Fourth Progenitor's plans and to hold the Feast of the Crimson.
"All I know is that it will restore the glory of the Caruana family."
"Liana said in a deep voice."
"I see. It seems reasoning with them won't work."
Nangong Nayue frowned.
Liana also composed herself, her gaze turning sinister.
The atmosphere between the two women instantly became tense.
One side acted for the greater good, while the other acted out of self-interest.
Even if a real fight broke out, who could possibly have the last laugh?
Just as Nangong Nayue was about to teach this arrogant vampire a lesson, she suddenly heard a voice from beside her.
"No, you're all just standing here discussing the ownership of my slaves, uh, I mean, my companions. Don't you respect me at all?"
The two women couldn't help but look at Ren.
"How about this, you ask the person involved for their opinion?"
Chapter 267 I've Chosen You
Then, Ren pulled out Master Ball.
"It's you I've chosen! Come out, Fourth Progenitor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the Master Ball into an open space.
The sphere traced a perfect parabola in the air, fell to the ground with a thud, opened its lid, and flashed with dazzling golden-red light. Then, to the astonishment of Nangong Nayue and Liana, the Fourth Progenitor appeared, looking completely bewildered.
Who I am?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to do?
The Fourth Ancestor's memories remain stuck at the moment when he was enveloped in a golden-red light; he knows nothing about what happened after that.
When the Fourth Ancestor jumped out of the sphere, both of them were completely dumbfounded.
Although Nangong Nayue witnessed the Fourth True Ancestor being captured and trapped inside the ball, she never expected that he could be released again.
Having traveled all over the country for so many years, what strange and unusual things hasn't she seen?
But she had never seen this thing before.
What is this?
She had wanted to ask this question before.
Ren used a magic spell to retrieve the Poké Ball, tossing it up and down as he explained, "This is a Master-level Poké Ball, a tool specifically designed to catch Pokémon."
An elf? You're telling me the Fourth Progenitor is an elf?
In this world, elves have their own page in the family tree; although not many, they are not particularly rare.
"That's racist. Even Black people can be elves, so what if elves are the Fourth Progenitor?"
Ren wasn't wrong about that.
