BXBX NOVEL Chapter 394: 238: Are You Also Compensation?_1
All the elves felt the emotions of the God of Life for the first time. Previously, to grasp the will of the God of Life, they needed the High Priest to translate. Very few elves could directly communicate with the God of Life.
However, they could always feel the care of the God of Life, everywhere. When a young elf playing and falls from a tree or when a young elf gets lost in the forest,
Or when they are thirsty and can’t find water to drink, a gentle breeze would carry the scent of stream water.
The care of the God of Life is everywhere, but only the High Priest and a few elves can communicate with it. As a Being of Truth, closest to divinity, Aestolia had never felt the God of Life’s power before. She had only experienced its routine care, which gave her an illusion.
She believed that the God of Life was like the omnipresent elements, and as long as one had sufficient strength, one could control it.
Now, she finally felt the power of the God of Life, who directly expelled the entire Elf Clan. She also felt the emotions of the God of Life – anger.
Aestolia was evicted by a deer after she lost consciousness due to the green mist, despite casting all the protection magic she knew on herself.
This greatly shocked her. It turned out that such powerful Beings of Truth could not hold a candle to the God of Life.
Was divinity that powerful? Or was the God of Life particularly powerful? Or, perhaps, was the God of Life particularly powerful with regards to the elves?
Although the green mist merely caused her to lose consciousness, the God of Life could have had the deer that pushed her out stomp on her head at any time.
Despite being angry, the God of Life simply expelled the elves, not harming them.
What Gailard said was right. The God of Life’s anger was triggered by what they did to Lord Ange.
He journeyed a thousand miles to heal the God of Life and after succeeding, the elves ungratefully pursued him, forgot the kindness showed, and acted arrogantly and despotically.
The only solution now is to find Lord Ange, apologize to him, and gain his forgiveness. But Lord Ange wasn’t responding to them, not even giving them a chance to talk.
This was quite normal. Once the elves mobilized, they were terrifyingly powerful. If this wasn’t about apologizing, but was a trap bait, they possibly wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
If not for Anthony immediate response to last time’s sudden incident, Ange and the others would’ve surely not made it out alive.
To get an opportunity to apologize, trust was significant. How could they put them at ease? The best way would be to offer up a significant elf as a hostage to them. If the elves made a wrong move, then the hostage would be killed.
The Elf Queen wasn’t a suitable hostage. Her position was too sensitive. Her being a hostage felt like the Elf Clan surrendering to outsiders, something the proud elves would find difficult to accept.
Aside from the Elf Queen, who else could be a significant enough hostage without causing unnecessary ruckus?
Aestolia felt that she was more suitable. She was significant enough and wouldn’t cause much speculation. Most average elves didn’t even recognize her. Moreover, she was the one who first suggested this, so she felt she should bear this responsibility.
“In conclusion, so here I am. This is the Life Ban Circle. If you hold it, you can control my life any time. This is the sincerity of the Elf Clan. We hope that for the sake of our sincerity, you will give us a chance to apologize.” Aestolia held up a bracelet with one hand, pointed to the collar on her neck with the other, and said to Negris.
In front of Aestolia was only Negris. He was the most suitable for this task here, after all, it was just a projection. Even if the elves caught it, it would only be a loss of one body.
Negris picked up the bracelet and asked, “Has the God of Life awakened?”
Aestolia nodded, “Yes, he has.”
“How is his condition? Is he better?” Negris asked. He had expended a lot of Ange’s Insect Ash, so he hoped it hadn’t been in vain.
“He’s fully recovered. All the grey spots have disappeared,” Aestolia replied.
“That’s good to hear,” Negris nodded and turned his attention to the Life Ban Circle.
The Life Ban Circle and the Life Collar come as a set. The Life Ban Circle can control the life and death of any creature wearing the Life Collar, whether they’re human or the God of Truth and Law.
However, putting the collar on isn’t easy. The wearer must be fully conscious and absolutely cooperative for it to lock onto their life. If there’s even a hint of struggle, it might not lock.
Without the life-lock, the Life Collar is meaningless.
Besides the Life Collar, there were various lower-end control Magic Artifacts, such as Slave Collars and Exploding Collars, but none of these can hold a God of Truth and Law.
Negris played with the Life Ban Circle for a while, ensuring it was the real thing and not a knockoff.
Slipping the Life Ban Circle over his elbow, Negris said to Aestolia, “I’m going to test it out, are you ready?”
