Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 83.1: Social Demise of the Great Teacher (1)

Rayne Haines…

When the Great Teacher met this man once more…

She did not feel anger nor joy.

There was merely awkwardness.

Extreme awkwardness.

The apocalyptic forbidden curse destroyed the humiliating evidence of the Great Teacher at the final moment when Rayne and Edaline appeared from the dimensional rift…

She should not have been discovered... right?

The Great Teacher was still in shock. She tidied her clothes and supported herself against the wall to stand up.

"Rayne Haines... you brought your demigod into a foreign country without reporting it to us in advance. This is an act of invasion."

Edaline frowned. "What are you talking about? I was clearly the one who brought him with me, alright?"

Rayne still had the same gentle expression that made one feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.

"Great Teacher Elktela Lucia, can you listen to my intentions first before proceeding with the extermination of us invaders?"

The Great Teacher nodded gently. "Sure."

In truth, she merely used invasion as a figure of speech.

Notwithstanding the Haines Empire, the probability of anyone declaring war against Leta for no reason was extremely slim under the restrictions of Goddess Order's edict.

Even if the Haines Empire intended to wage war against Leta, they would not send their prince to the front line of the battlefield.

Furthermore… this would be the front line of a fight between the peak combat strength of their two countries.

It was clear.

Rayne Haines wanted to discuss something with her.

"I want to invite you to join us for a trip to the Deep Tundra."

Rayne asked, "I wonder if you're interested in exploring the lair of Black Catastrophes?"

The Great Teacher: "… You are able to locate the lair of the Black Catastrophes?"

Rayne replied seriously, "Not only that, I might have a way to weaken the invasion of Black Catastrophes at the root."

The Great Teacher went silent.

If what Rayne Haines said was true… There was no reason for the Great Teacher to reject this suggestion.

As the final Elven Empire left standing in the mortal world, Leta struggled on the brink of destruction almost every day against the constant invasion of the quasigods.

Apart from the quasigods, because the country was connected to the Desolate Tundra, Leta had to face the invasion of the mysterious Black Catastrophes.

For the elves of Leta, being surrounded by danger on all fronts was naturally something that was extremely terrible.

The monsters that lingered in the Deep Tundra were not only endless in number, but also extremely powerful.

If any mortal armies wanted to defeat them, they would definitely have to pay an extremely tragic price. Only experts at the level of a demigod could repel their invasion effectively.

Initially, with Obadiah guarding the Blazing Sun Wall, he would not let any Black Catastrophes trample on his territory.

However, Obadiah was already dead.

As such, the elves of Leta had to take on the pressure of Black Catastrophes once more.

If Rayne could find a way to suppress the Black Catastrophes and reduce their numbers or desire to attack...

It would definitely resolve Leta's pressing issue!

The Great Teacher said, "The lair of the Black Catastrophes..."

Rayne smiled. "What do you think?"

The Great Teacher said, "It's a suggestion that can be discussed."

If he could locate the lair of the Black Catastrophes and weaken its power at the root, the Great Teacher would definitely agree to the collaboration.

Right now, the only problem was whether the information from Rayne was reliable...

Rayne possessed the blessings and protection of the evil gods. As such, the Great Teacher's mind reading technique could not work on him.

She could not judge whether Rayne was reliable through mind reading…

However, after thinking for a moment, she was still willing to believe in Rayne.

Rayne was no ordinary human.

He was a super-class grandmaster whose understanding of the divinity of Life had reached a peak that even the Great Teacher could not match.

The fact that he was able to research the divinity of Life to this point was an unprecedented feat even in the long history of the elves.

The Great Teacher would believe it if someone as strong as this seemingly divine big shot said that he knew some secrets of Black Catastrophes.

That's right…

Anyone who could comprehend the divinity of Life… must be dependable.

Finally, the Great Teacher decided to trust Rayne Haines this time round.

However, just as the Great Teacher was about to agree to Rayne…

The quasigods' warning rang in her mind.

[Elktela, don't agree to it.]

[The dangers in that tundra are not something you can deal with.]

It was clear that these ancient gods with long lifespans had a different understanding of the Desolate Tundra than the Great Teacher.

The Great Teacher was stunned.

She asked the quasigods internally, "Is this a trap?"

[No, this bloodline descendant of the Crystal Goddess did not lie to you and your understanding of things is not wrong either. It's just that you guys underestimated the danger of the tundra.]

The Great Teacher said indifferently to the quasigods, "But Leta is already in danger right now."

[No, it's not the same thing.]

[Elktela, there are other methods to deal with the Black Catastrophes. You don't have to risk your life for something like this.]

[You have completely no idea what's lurking beneath that tundra.]

The quasigods advised.

[You can't die yet. We still need you and so does Leta.]

The Great Teacher: "…"

With the warning of the quasigods, she could more or less understand the danger of that tundra.

It was no wonder why Rayne Haines wanted to work with her even though he was already traveling with Edaline…

This meant that Rayne knew that even the strongest demigod in the mortal world could not deal with the enemies in the Deep Tundra alone!

In the end, the Great Teacher rejected Rayne.

"Please return, Rayne Haines."

The Great Teacher said calmly, "We'll resolve Leta's difficulties ourselves. There's no need to worry."

Since the Deep Tundra was so dangerous, it would mean that the Great Teacher would not be the only one undertaking the risk once they entered; these two impassioned supporters of Leta would as well.

Perhaps the best outcome for everyone would be if this plan was canceled.

Coward.

Edaline sneered internally.

As for Rayne, he naturally could not help but feel disappointed by the answer of the Great Teacher.

However, out of respect towards the Great Teacher and Leta...

Rayne decided to let it go.

He smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. Farewell, Great Teacher. We'll head back now."

The Great Teacher nodded. "I won't send you off."

However, before I leave, there's something I'm a little curious about…"

Rayne asked curiously, "Great Teacher… what was that thing that you destroyed with the forbidden curse earlier on?"
