Chapter 376: Little Business
\'And what is that?\' Rhea tilted her head slightly with a slight smile as if she had predicted this outcome.
\'First, I want to meet the legend of the Plant Race, the Tree of Life. Second, you must guide me in manifesting my spirit entity until I succeed. Third, you must keep your word to take me to the palace with two other divine beings, and not hurt me. Fourth, make the high quality fertilizer into a thousand grams for each vial. That\'s all and we\'ll come to a deal!\' Hea mentioned her conditions in one breath. She was a little excited about that.
\'The second to the fourth condition is doable, but the first one unfortunately cannot be fulfilled.\' Rhea shook her head slightly.
\'Why? The legend isn\'t really dead, is it? You\'re going to use the Dew of Life to bring her back to life, right?\' Hea couldn\'t understand why she was not allowed to meet the Tree of Life.
\'My apologies... The Tree of Life is still alive, but my mother already in another realm and no longer in this world. In addition, my mother is in a delicate and vulnerable state. I hope you understand.\' Rhea put her hands together with a smile. Behind her gentle words, she simply didn\'t want any outsiders to enter the Nature Realm.
\'No longer in this world... What kind of realm is that?\' Hea became helpless. She was starting to think that she needed to reach the divine level to meet the greatest legend of Plant Race.
\'Well, the first one was just my wishful thinking. Let\'s do it with the second to the fourth conditions.\' Hea only removed one condition, and that was enough.
Five thousand grams of Heaven Grade high-quality fertilizer could patch up her backlash and possibly elevate her to Empress-level faster.
\'I\'m glad to hear it.\' Rhea then took care of the deal. She asked her master for help with some things too.
Elysia gave five empty vials secretly and five sacks of high-quality fertilizer in invisibility, then Hea carefully extracted the Dew of Life from herself as well. No one should know about this deal.
It took about fifteen minutes for Hea to finish with everything. Working to keep the other elves from being aware of anything was quite tricky.
After that, Hea asked for the five thousand grams of high-quality fertilizer to be released from invisibility. Five sacks suddenly appeared near her root, but it had been there since the deal was agreed.
Feeling the abundant yet pleasant energy from it, Hea immediately buried the five sacks with her roots secretly and tore them apart to enjoy the bliss and ecstasy. She was completely unaware that a particular little fairy was also helping to keep all those exchanges a secret from outsiders.
\'Here, five vials of Dew of Life. Please don\'t let anyone know about this.\' Hea used her small root to give the five vials to the baby Goddess.
\'Okay, thank you.\' Rhea took the five vials from the ground, then gave them to her master.
\'You\'re welcome. This high quality fertilizer is the real deal and extraordinary. Uhm, would you like to sell some to me?\' Hea wished for more if that was possible. After all, Heaven Grade fertilizer had never been available in this world, and that was as far as she knew.
\'Unfortunately I think that\'s enough, Hea. You will ascend to Empress-level in the near future with just that.\' Rhea gave a smile in rejection.
\'I see, that\'s a pity... Then now is the time for you to help me manifest my spirit enitiy. After that we can go to the palace. Umm, you want to meet the sovereigns, right?\' Hea wasn\'t too disappointed even though her wish didn\'t come true.
\'Sure, you are a good girl. I will teach you step by step, please follow my every instruction.\' Rhea then teaches Hea to manifest a spirit entity for a few minutes.
It was pretty challenging, but Hea finally succeeded on the twelfth try. A tiny fluffy ball appeared and immediately hid in the hands of the baby Goddess.
\'Wow, is it me? I can move freely! Ashera will definitely be surprised to see me, hehe... But, I don\'t want anyone to know about this just yet.\' Hea rolled around then jumped up and down happily.
It was too much fun to have two presences simultaneously, namely the Heavenly Tree and the tiny fluffy ball.
\'Congratulations, Hey. But, allow me to give you a piece of good advice. Next time, please be more suspicious and wary of foreigners. At least, please think twice or thrice before making a decision. It will be very dangerous if you meet a scammer. OK?\' Rhea stroked the tiny fluffy ball in her hand.
She felt a little worried for Hea because she hadn\'t even provided a sample for Hea to prove the authentic effect of the high-quality fertilizer. Yet, Hea agreed before she did that.
\'I will bear that in my mind.\' Hea nodded in understanding.
She also thought that she was too hasty in making her decision because she talked to a real Goddess with a golden energy aura!
\'Here, it\'s a gift for a good girl.\' Rhea gave a pinch of high-quality fertilizer and sprinkled it near the Heavenly Tree trunk.
\'Oh! thanks for the bonus.\' Hea appreciated the unexpected gift.
\'Now is the time for us to go. But please be careful with your spirit entity because you too have limitations with this form.\' Rhea gave a slightly stern warning.
\'Limitations?\' Hea was confused and stopped moving to listen.
Rhea asked her master to walk away from that place. At the same time, she also explained the limitations of the Saint-level spirit entity, including the backlash if the spirit entity was destroyed.
\'Un, I will be extra very careful. I can\'t wait to reach Empress-level and reduce at least half of those limitations. Also, I just need to be careful so that my spirit entity is safe and sound.\' Hea pondered for a moment and nodded in understanding.
However, a realization suddenly crossed her mind. She had not met the other two divine beings other than this baby Goddess. So, where were they?
\'Umm, the Goddess of Nature... May I know where the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Blessings are?\' Hea asked bashfully. To meet three Goddesses at once was an utmost honor in itself.
\'You will meet them when we enter the palace. Now, please hide in my hands if you don\'t want anyone to find out about you just yet.\' Rhea decided not to say more, and Hea complied and hid in her hands. Then, she was hugged by her master like a precious baby, while Hea was stuck between the warmth and softness.
\'It\'s a little longer than Celes. These other visitors are quite a hassle on our mission, but this sacred place is only open until noon.\' Elysia spoke to Rhea and Nell. \'Nell, all safe, right?\'
\'Of course! I made sure of everything myself. No one noticed anything, not even Heavenly Tree. No one but us are aware that I disguised some aspects for secrecy, hehe.\' Nell floated in front of Elysia, but Elysia\'s gaze also followed her. Really, were any disguises useless in front of this girl?
\'Then I can heave a sigh of relief. Thank you, Nell.\' Elysia smiled in relief and continued walking toward the exit. She let Rhea for a moment because the baby in her arms seemed to be busy talking to the fluffy ball via telepathy.
After Elysia exited the sacred area, a woman clad in a revealing black dress walked over with a slightly annoyed expression. "Mr. Ali, it really is not the behavior of a gentleman to leave a fair lady behind. You entered a sacred area without me, and are you not aware of that? You have no idea that I\'m stuck outside this dome barrier?"
"Ah, it\'s you, Ms. Arlayna. I thought you purposely did not enter with me into this sacred area for some reason, and decided to wait outside. Sorry for my unpleasant attitude." Elysia put an innocent expression and apologized politely.
As far as she could remember. Arlayna suddenly disappeared somewhere. Who would have thought this woman just didn\'t go in with her.
"Well, that\'s great if you understand." Arlayna just flicked her fan at her face. She couldn\'t remain angry when she saw this man\'s beautiful and innocent face. "Alright, it\'s almost noon and this sacred area will also be closed. Allow me to host you for lunch."
"Please forgive me if I come across as rude, but I have some business to attend to at the palace and need to get there soon. I am very grateful for your valuable time to accompany and guide me to see this beautiful forest city. Please take this as a token of my gratitude." Elysia passed a fragment of the Aurora Crystal into Arlayna\'s hand without letting it be seen by anyone.
She felt a little uncomfortable to know that she was using this elf for information even though she knew this elf most likely had an anterior motive.
In addition, she had also been warned several times by Rhea and Nell. Even so, that didn\'t mean that she would ignore this elf\'s merit.
"Huh? What did you put in my hand?" Arlayna raised one eyebrow as she marveled at what was in her hand.
"Even if it\'s just a small piece, it\'s a valuable item if you know what it\'s for." Elysia whispered softly.
"Fine, you have a little business at the palace, right? Then, I\'ll go there. I also happen to want to meet my father at the palace." Arlayna glanced at the item in her hand, then stowed it into her Space Bag.
