Chapter 308: Repayment With Life
A Protector and a Path Protector were completely different.
The Path Protector was a role that was a combination of a guardian and a teacher. However, a Protector would be the same as vowing loyalty, like a retainer knight.
If retainer knights was a spirit qi professional vowing loyalty to a Creation Master, then a Protector would be a human or fey that possessed a Willpower Rune and vowing their loyalty to a spirit qi professional.
There might be a difference between Protectors and Path Protectors, but their relationships with a spirit qi professional were almost the same. They formed the contract with Law Runes, and it was firm and reliable.
When the Mother of Bloodbath saw Endless Summer vowing an oath, she didn’t feel there was anything strange. After all, such help during the World Cleansing was the same as saving a life. It was already sufficient for a fey to repay with their life.
Lin Yuan might have already decided to create his own guild club, but he was constantly thinking toward this idea of a private faction but didn’t take any action.
Firstly, it was because the Floating Island Whale had yet to become a Fantasy Breed, allowing it to become a giant floating island that could support the entire faction. The other reason would be the lack of experts.
If Lin Yuan wanted to build his own private faction, apart from being able to produce popular items like the Flower Brocade Pearls and completely jade-textured wood, he would also need a martial force so powerful that it would deter others.
The Moon Empress might be Lin Yuan’s master, but he didn’t wish to rely on her to create his faction. If Lin Yuan relied on the Moon Empress to develop his faction, his faction would just be the Radiant Moon Palace’s vassal in the eyes of others.
As Lin Yuan’s Path Protector, the Mother of Bloodbath might be a pinnacle expert that could support a private faction, however, it was Lin Yuan’s Path Protector and not a member of his private faction. Therefore, Lin Yuan was still hesitant.
But now, Lin Yuan’s previous worries were no longer existent. With Endless Summer, a Suzerain/Myth III fey, vowing her loyalty to him, Lin Yuan’s private faction would be able to dominate in terms of martial strength.
The palace-robed Endless Summer walked to Lin Yuan’s side and made a delicate bow. The benevolent and gentle voice echoed beside Lin Yuan’s ears again.
“Lin Yuan, I will be your Protector from now on. I shall humbly take on your orders.”
Lin Yuan wasn’t sure what to do for a moment. Endless Summer was now a Suzerain/Myth III fey and was considered an absolute expert in this generation. But when Endless Summer suddenly vowed loyalty, Lin Yuan truly didn’t know how he should address Endless Summer.
The Mother of Bloodbath saw the situation and said to Lin Yuan seriously, “For a fey, the World Cleansing is the same as struggling against heaven. You saved her, she vowed her loyalty to you, there is nothing inappropriate. If there is anything, it just means that she owes this to you. After all, there is nothing more important than to continue surviving in this world.”
After listening to the Mother of Bloodbath’s explanation, Lin Yuan felt as though he understood how the laws of feys worked.
It was true that to a dying fey, being rescued meant that the fey would have many more possibilities in the future.
Endless Summer turned around and picked up that dead Night Calamity Crow and handed it to Lin Yuan. “This Suzerain/Myth II Night Calamity Crow’s corpse has quite the value.”
After speaking, Endless Summer fixed her eyes on Lin Yuan. He observed Endless Summer’s eyes and could see a trace of feeling as though she was waiting for an acknowledgment.
Lin Yuan revealed a sunshine smile and received the Night Calamity Crow’s corpse from Endless Summer before saying, “Endless Summer, I shall trouble you from now on.”
Endless Summer revealed a warm smile in response too. The yearning for acknowledgment in her eyes vanished, but it was now replaced with a look of anticipation to serve him.
The smile on the Mother of Bloodbath’s face never stopped since the moment Lin Yuan took out the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire. The Mother of Bloodbath didn’t know why it felt as though this sunshine youth always had a kind of magic. As a fey, the Mother of Bloodbath didn’t think it would ever trust or acknowledge a human that was so much weaker than her.
The Mother of Bloodbath had to admit that ever since Lin Yuan had helped it break through to Myth II, it had already subconsciously acknowledged Lin Yuan.
The Mother of Bloodbath had been observing as this sunshine youth grew during the past few months. It couldn’t help but recall the time it experienced its World Cleansing. This youth had stood calmly in the storm and provided a path of survival for her.
It felt that Lin Yuan had a trace of silliness. Lin Yuan could be selfish, but he chose not to, just like how he had taken out the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire earlier.
It was also because of Lin Yuan’s actions that allowed the Mother of Bloodbath to gradually treat Lin Yuan differently from the Moon Empress.
The Moon Empress was simply the Mother of Bloodbath’s benefactor. However, the Mother of Bloodbath felt that its relationship with Lin Yuan was more like its relationship with Endless Summer—more like a senior, a friend, a family member.
The Mother of Bloodbath said to Lin Yuan, “Pass me that bottle of essence blood that I gave you previously.”
Lin Yuan took out the bottle with the Night Calamity Crow’s essence blood and handed it over to the Mother of Bloodbath.
Once the Mother of Bloodbath received the bottle, it opened up the bottle and poured the black essence blood in her palms before closing the bottle again.
She then tossed the bottle to Lin Yuan and said, “Earlier on, I used a fresh Blood Law Rune to purify the blood inside this Night Calamity Crow. After including the previous drop, the bottle now has 20 drops of essence blood.
“This Night Calamity Crow might not have a chance to use it Law Rune, but it was probably a power offense-type fey with darkness attributes. It probably possessed a Law Rune that is extremely adept at sneak attacks.”
While speaking, the Mother of Bloodbath looked at Endless Summer. The Mother of Bloodbath knew clearly about Endless Summer’s strength. Endless Summer might not be adept at defense, but it was still superior to the Night Calamity Crow in terms of grade. However, the Night Calamity Crow was still able to pick out the tree core.
The Night Calamity Crow might have been stuck at Suzerain/Myth II for a very long time, but Endless Summer had already touched the doorstep of Myth III and had been preparing to face the World Cleansing of Myth III. Therefore, Endless Summer was still superior.
After speaking, the Mother of Bloodbath reached out and grabbed the Night Calamity Crow’s head before pulling it forcefully.
