Chapter 605: Goddess Arian’s Command
When the group returned to the Dragonmen’s village, the residents were buzzing with excitement over their quick return. Shinji told the Dragonmen who accompanied him that he could share 2 things: they found out what was causing the strange happenings in the valley, and they needed to come back to plan a solution.
Himeno, Mitono, and Coral quickly showed up in the meeting room, and everyone gathered together. Shinji shared the same information about the goddess that he had told Ichiro, but he kept some details hidden.
Ichiro also mentioned that the mysterious vines were spreading and making the monsters in the valley more dangerous, and that the vines couldn’t be harmed at all.
Naturally, everyone was curious about what Ichiro meant by “the way to deal with it.” They all wanted to know how to handle the vines that were said to be unharmed even by Himeno’s breath.
But it was impossible to say something like, “We will receive a divine staff from the goddess! With that power, everything will be solved!” So, all they could do was delay giving a clear answer.
Still, it was well-known that high-ranking spirits had connections to the goddess. Shinji only mentioned that the main plan was to rely on the goddess.
”Hmm, it’s a bit scary, but it’s true that it’s beyond our abilities…”
”I think it’s necessary, Himeno. But I believe we should report this first… although I doubt there was time to stop it.”
Himeno and Ichiro looked uncertain because they were warriors and felt uneasy about relying on the goddess. However, they didn’t argue because their duty was more important than their pride.
Mitono had a point. Normally, they should report to the 3 leaders before taking actions that went against their plans.
But he understood that high-ranking spirits didn’t completely obey their contractors; they were more like partners. Even though their relationship was new, it was clear that the spirits managing the valley worshipped Goddess Arian.
