Chapter 265 Year’s Promise
Chapter 265: A Hundred Years' Promise
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I'm not trying to belittle myself, but saving you is something that I'm really not capable of."
Seeing that the other party's face was showing a hint of anger and becoming dangerous, Ivan quickly coughed twice to cover up his gaffe, and then spoke in a sincere tone.
"It's commendable that you can recognize your own strength." Mavis knew her own charm and didn't care about his impoliteness. "We can make an agreement and fulfill it when you are strong enough."
"In that case, I can consider agreeing to it, but I need to know more so as not to break my promise in the future." Ivan said after a moment's hesitation.
"No problem, you should have some guesses." Mavis said slowly: "In fact, I come from another world - the fairy world, and I am an old natural god."
It turns out that Mavis is really a goddess, born in another big world outside the world of Danera. She has multiple priesthoods and titles, one of which is the "Goddess of Spring".
Because of this priesthood, she was hunted by certain people.
After a fierce battle, she was defeated and then exiled to a certain inter-world layer, where she was sealed for a long time.
She thought of many ways to save herself and projected a lot of power into other dimensions. The current statue is just one of them.
"Wait, you mean to say that you want me to go to some intermediate layer in the fairy world to find your real body and then help you out of this predicament, right?" After hearing her statement, Ivan felt his throat getting dry.
"That's right." Mavis nodded slightly.
"Then what kind of strength do I need to help you out of trouble?"
"According to the general classification of the astral world, he must be at least a fourth-level wizard, and fifth or sixth level is even better."
"Well - then you'll have to wait." Ivan didn't know what to say. He himself didn't even know if he could become a fourth-level wizard, but the other party dared to make a promise with him.
To be honest, he was a little confused.
"Haha, what seems like a long time to you may just be the time it takes to take a nap for me. You don't have to mind it too much." Mavis chuckled. This chuckle even made the surrounding space seem a lot fresher, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance coming from it.
Seeing this, Ivan secretly praised, thinking that this was probably the kind of person favored by heaven and earth, whose every word and action could influence those around him. He was not rude this time.
"However, the fairy world has never been peaceful. My enemies must be trying to find a way to destroy me. If we delay, things will change. I hope you can show up as soon as possible. Let's agree on a hundred years."
"A hundred years is enough time for you to become a strong man."
"Don't think about refusing. The curse mark on your body was left by a creature no weaker than me, and it also came from the fairy world. If you want to completely solve the problem, you will have to go to the fairy world sooner or later, otherwise your end will be very miserable."
Without waiting for Ivan to say anything, Mavis threw out a hundred-year agreement and emphasized the reasons why he had to go to the fairy world no matter what.
"Can't you completely solve this curse mark?" Ivan suddenly felt bad.
"What do you think? Strictly speaking, this curse is not a curse. It is a life test of the local creatures from the fairy world. Only because you are not a creature from the fairy world, you will think it is a curse. It can be called a world-class curse." Mavis said.
"Ah?" Ivan's eyes widened.
This was totally beyond his expectations. Damn Toins. If the body was still there, he would probably dig it out and whip it to vent his anger. It was so cruel.
"When it comes to the power of the fairy world, you have to go to the fairy world if you want to get rid of it. However, I can seal it for you for a period of time so that you will not be troubled by the curse." Mavis seemed not to notice the strange look on his face, and continued.
"a period of time?"
"For a hundred years, that creature will not be able to find you."
Ivan felt better when he heard it was a hundred years.
Then, he thought of another problem. The curse mark was not only on him, but also on Jushiti and Pernie, as well as the Swiftwood Silkworm Clan.
Unless he avoids these completely, there is no guarantee that the person behind the scenes will find him through the connection.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"Hey! I'm not the only one who has the curse mark--" Ivan did not hide it and expressed his concerns.
"Who are they to you?" Mavis seemed to have expected this.
"my wife."
"There is a solution. Your curse level is much higher than theirs, and they are connected to each other. It depends on whether you are willing to attribute all the power of the curse to yourself."
"But, I am willing to take care of it." "Let them come over, I can help you again."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
This relieved his worries, and Ivan expressed his gratitude solemnly.
When the people outside approached, he went out to greet them and gave them a few instructions, so that no one would be careless and offend the gods inside, and that they should maintain due respect for the strong.
When Jiushiti, Purnie and the Silkworm Queen heard him say that he wanted to transfer the curse, they immediately expressed their disagreement, saying that he must not bear it all by himself.
But no one can object to what Ivan decides.
After convincing them, the three of them came to the square.
Mavis's presence was naturally shocking, but fortunately Ivan had given instructions and nothing bad happened.
"Put your arms out."
Mavis glanced at the two of them, and at her signal, Ivan revealed the seal of the demon's curse on his arm.
Seeing this, Jushiti and Purnie couldn't help but reveal their curse seals.
Mavis stretched out her slender white hand and lightly touched Ivan's curse mark with her white jade-like fingers.
Following the connection between the curse marks, wisps of demonic power were drawn over, and the curse marks on the two women's arms decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ivan's curse marks increased rapidly, and the color became deeper and deeper.
"okay."
After a while, Mavis loosened her fingers.
Ivan sensed it and found that the marks on Jushiti and Pernie had indeed been eradicated. The same was true for the Queen Silkworm, the Fragrance Butterfly, and the Wind Moth. The three insects had also become a little weaker, but not much.
Facing the worried gazes of the two women, Ivan gestured to them to wait for him outside.
The matter has not been explained yet.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I will seal the curse for you, and that person will never bother you again."
Mavis opened her lips slightly, and a wonderful song rang out, as if it came from heaven.
Ivan understood that this must be some kind of secret magic, because there was a special aura lingering around him and then fell on the seal.
After everything returned to normal, he looked at his arm with a hint of doubt, as it seemed to have not changed.
He looked up at Mavis, who had a rare look of embarrassment on her face. She also realized that "Song of Spring Dawn" had failed. After all, this was not the fairy world.
"Come here." Mavis said.
When Ivan took a step forward without knowing what was going on, she quickly leaned in and kissed the side of Ivan's lips, but the kiss was immediate and final.
"You are the first person to accept my blessing in this way. I wish that your curse will remain in the state of 'early spring' for a hundred years, and will not be restrained by other living beings, nor observed by other living beings--"
With the goddess' blessing, the curse underwent miraculous changes.
Ivan only felt his body lighten, as if a shackle locked on his soul had been removed, and the whole person became refreshed and brighter.
When he came to his senses, Mavis had disappeared.
"Your Majesty, Your Mavis." Ivan found that the singing sounds that had always been around had become weaker. He called out softly a few times, but when no one paid attention to him, he bowed solemnly and walked out.
After he left, the human-shaped statue came alive again, murmuring inaudibly:
"Wise Elder, is he also someone you favor? I didn't expect to see him in Danela. Since it is your guidance, I will wait for him for a hundred years."
