Chapter 781: Chapter 530: Gu’s Opportunity for Advancement and the Quasi-Divine Artifact ’Demon Serpent’s Eye
This was no longer a simple Magic Artifact.
This was a Quasi-Divine Artifact!
A terrifying Weapon capable of changing the tide of battle, one that could even allow a Spiritual Mage to challenge High Tier beings!
This gift from Great Elder Gu was far too precious.
So precious that Raylo felt as if it burned his hands to hold.
"Great Elder, this..."
Raylo was about to say something.
But Gu waved his hand, interrupting him.
"Take it."
His aged face showed little emotion.
"You’ve earned it."
"The future of the Hill Giant Race is far more valuable than this eye."
His gaze shifted to Kado, then back to Raylo.
"In the future, my people will still need your protection. This is both a gift and... a small investment."
With him putting it that way, Raylo knew that any further refusal would be disingenuous.
He took a deep breath and solemnly extended his hands, accepting the heavy Demon Serpent’s Eye from Great Elder Gu.
The eye was cold to the touch, yet it contained an indescribably vast energy.
"Thank you, Great Elder."
Raylo’s voice was sincere.
"I will remember this kindness."
Great Elder Gu nodded slightly, seeming quite pleased with his reaction.
With the matter of the gift concluded, the conversation returned to business.
"Regarding the matter of your people’s migration..."
Raylo began, his mind already working.
"The Black Stone Territory is vast. I will immediately have my people search the Black Stone Mountain Range for the most suitable valley or plateau to serve as the new home for the Hill Giant Race."
Settling several hundred, perhaps even close to a thousand, colossal Hill Giants was no small feat.
It required not only space but also a suitable environment with abundant mineral and food sources.
"I trust your arrangements."
The Great Elder was not worried about this.
"However, the migration will take time to prepare. Our people need to pack their belongings and ensure those staying behind are settled," Kado added from the side.
"I understand."
Raylo nodded.
"Then let’s set a deadline of seven days."
"Within seven days, I will have everything ready in the Black Stone Territory. After that, Kado, you can begin organizing the first group of your people to migrate."
"Right!"
Kado nodded heavily, his eyes glinting with determination.
The negotiations were complete.
The purpose of Raylo’s trip had been more than accomplished.
Not only had he finalized the major event of the Hill Giant Race moving to the Black Stone Territory, but he had also unexpectedly obtained a priceless treasure on the level of a Quasi-Divine Artifact.
What came next was a tense period of war preparations.
In half a month, the expedition to the Barbaric World would begin.
In seven days, they would welcome the Hill Giant migration.
Time was extremely tight.
"Great Elder, Kado, I’ll take my leave now."
Raylo stood up.
"Go."
Great Elder Gu settled back onto his stone throne and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had already begun to gather his spiritual energy.
Kado, meanwhile, escorted Raylo out of the stone tower.
"My lord, rest assured."
Standing at the entrance of the stone tower, Kado looked at Raylo with an incredibly solemn expression.
"In seven days, I will be waiting with my people for you."
"I’ll be waiting for you."
Raylo clapped him on the arm.
This honest and good-natured Giant was maturing at a visible rate, gradually showing the composure and sense of responsibility befitting the leader of a race.
Raylo lingered no longer, calling over Moonlight and Coal Ball who were waiting nearby.
"Let’s go. Time to head home."
Coal Ball understood immediately. It opened its small mouth, and a pitch-black, constantly spinning spatial rift appeared out of thin air.
With Moonlight in tow, Raylo stepped into it.
