Chapter 1328: To return or not to return?
Chapter 1328: To return or not to return?
Idan did not conceal anything when asked by Milica.
However, before telling everything, he used a mental connection and involved Arabel and Eulalia in the conversation, so as not to repeat himself later.
Arabel and Milica, who already suspected Coco of involvement in the incident, took this news more calmly, unlike Eulalia, who could not hide her amazement.
Noticing the seriousness of the others’ gazes, she quickly pulled herself together.
To her delight, none of the elves paid any attention to her, focusing on the actions of the Princess and the other elves.
“Did you take the Fruits from her?” Milica asked.
“Not yet, she has them,” Idan replied. “But don’t worry about Coco eating them, because I’ve already exchanged them for candy, and now the fruits are mine. Coco only keeps them for me.”
Arabel, Milica, and even Eulalia looked at him doubtfully.
“Well, Coco is very serious about candies, so she definitely won’t eat Fruits exchanged for sweets,” Idan assured them.
“I didn’t take them away because of a precautionary measure, and given that the Tree can still sense the presence of fruits, my decision turned out to be the right one,” he added. “I suggest we don’t take them away yet. There’s no guarantee that the Tree won’t find them once the fruits leave Coco’s backpack and paws.”
Arabel and Eulalia turned to Milica, waiting for her reaction. As for Eulalia’s position in this situation, she stood in solidarity with her juniors and the Master, ready to support their every decision.
After a short silence, Milica said:
“Idan, the fruits need to be returned.”
He had been expecting these words, but he couldn’t help but frown.
“All?” he asked.
Milica looked at him intently and noticed the reluctance in his gaze.
“Do you want to keep a part?” she asked.
“The fruits of the Foundation and the Law would be beneficial to our Kingdom,” Idan replied.
“Law Resonance,” — Arabel added, realizing why her husband needed these two fruits.
Meanwhile, Eulalia did not understand what the “Law Resonance” was, but she felt that it was something serious and important.
“Not all of them, but at least a few,” Idan added.
Milica thought about it, and to be honest, she was very interested in this new Kingdom ability.
“I understand,” she said.
“And I agree that they would be useful to the Kingdom.”
She paused for a moment, staring in the direction of the Princess.
“But these are the fruits of my family Tree, Idan. I can’t let you keep them just because I realize the benefits they can bring.”
Idan looked away. He had nothing to object to, although he did not want to part with the valuable resources he had already acquired.
“If we return them, it will raise questions,” he said.
“So we won’t do it openly.”
“Do you want to inform the Queen?”
“No,” Milica replied instantly. — “Coco’s existence must remain a secret.”
She looked at the void next to Idan, where he had previously cast his gaze, and imagined the same fox.
“Being able to hide from the perception of the Tree and the Queen makes Coco too unique. If the Queen finds out about this, I’m afraid she’ll be interested in her, and I don’t want to guess what that interest will lead to.”
“Then how do I get the fruits back?” Arabel asked anxiously.
“I don’t know, I’ll have to think about it. Leave them with Coco for now and don’t do anything.”
Idan exhaled slowly.
“So we’re returning everything?”
“Yeah. And I will get the fruits you need in another way.”
He looked at her again.
“Master, I’m not asking you…”
“I know,” Milica interrupted. “This is my decision. I can get a few fruits of the Foundation and the Law. Not today and not necessarily all at once, but I will keep my word.”
“As for the fruits of Dominion and Fusion, they are too important to our Kingdom of Magic Tree. So I’m not making any promises.”
“We don’t need them yet,” — Idan admitted.
“That’s good.” Finally, a slight smile appeared on Milica’s lips.
He was silent for a few more moments, then nodded.
“Okay. We will return all the fruits.”
As much as Idan did not want to appropriate everything, he gave in and decided to follow the will of his Master.
Now the question arose of how to return the stolen fruits. And then the question of how to leave this place without attracting unnecessary attention.
After all, it was almost impossible to perform any actions under the gaze.
And no one was going to entrust this matter to the little fox, who was the culprit of what happened.
The answer came suddenly.
The Princess appealed to all those present with a request to search for the intruder.
“Have the fifth rank disciples return to the Lower Realm and thoroughly search the area for the intruder. It is impossible to exclude the possibility that the intruder has left the Higher Realm,” said one of the Guardians.
“The others, whose rank is higher than sixth, will stay and help in the search here.”
Of course, no group wanted to send their students without proper protection, especially when it was unknown what abilities the intruder possessed.
“I’ll go with the younger disciples,” said Milica, volunteering. “Unlike you, all of my disciples are ranked below sixth.”
Lavena and Renar exchanged glances and nodded affirmatively.
“Well, Senior, then look after Neira and Elian as well.”
Severin also did not object to her choice.
Over the next few minutes, groups of students, accompanied by one of the defenders, began to leave the building, and then the Higher Realm itself.
Following the path they came from, the group led by Milisa passed through an archway and found themselves in a vast garden.
The local celestial star has already disappeared below the horizon.
Idan and Arabel stopped and turned their gazes to the unfamiliar starry sky.
There was no familiar North Star and familiar constellations.
And then all four of them exchanged glances, for as soon as they left the Upper Layer, they began to receive messages in their {Whisper Talismans}.
“Isn’t the space sealed?” Eulalia asked, pulling out her {Whisper Talisman}.
“Without a doubt, the space is sealed,” Arabel confirmed. “However, it seems that these restrictions do not apply to talismans.”
Idan checked the messages and, finding nothing urgent, plunged into thought, and the idea came to him by itself. Before he could ask the System for confirmation, it took the initiative.
[Ability is available].
Idan smiled.
He looked around at everyone and said through a mental connection:
“I have an idea how to get the fruits back.”
His words aroused everyone’s interest.
“What kind of idea is that?”
“How about we put on a show?”
I would like to express my gratitude to those who give gifts, power stones and golden tickets. Your support allows me to stay motivated and continue working on the book.
