Chapter 965 - The Queen's message
Neither Jason nor Jennifer had any idea of the weeks that had already passed since their arrival to Linarium.
Kiat took care of everything from the moment they reached the Elvyr's base on Manyr.
Through this, they had been able to pass uninterrupted from the crowd of hard-working Elvyr after the Sacred Elvyr told the responsible personnel about the existence of Rocs.
This had caused a grand reaction of overwhelming joy as the crowd cheered after hearing Kiat.
However, instead of celebrating with the Elvyrs, Kiat went his way, and advanced through the world bridge that brought them to one of the planets that were in the same stellar system as Manyr.
Thus, not much time passed between jumping through the world bridge and emerging on Linarium.
After arriving on Linarium, Jason and Jennifer had jumped through a few spatial portals before appearing in a ginormous city that had overwhelmingly huge skyscrapers shooting out of the ground at regular intervals.
Everything looked far more technologically advanced than it was the case on Manyr.
Even Argos' technological progress paled in comparison to what he could see with the Sacred Elvyr.
While Jason was only astonished about this sight, as he was aware of the existence of huge skyscrapers from the past, Jennifer was utterly shocked.
Pulling her through the bustling alleys, Jason held her hand tightly, preventing her from getting lost in the unknown lands of the Elvyr's territory.
Some time had passed, and their appearance quickly drew the attention of citizens that were going about their usual business.
After all, it was not normal to see someone with a huge golden Stigma on his face and one of the purest auras that existed in the Universe.
In fact, Jason would have a much purer Celestia aura if he were to have unleashed his entire bloodline followed by expelling his other, lower bloodline.
However, that was anything but a child's play and even Jason wasn't too keen on doing something like that.
Jennifer was also eyed with curiosity as most citizens of the Elvyr's territory had never faced any kinds of dangers.
This was something rare in the Era of Cultivation, conquest, and destruction.
After all, it meant that the Elvyr and Sacred Elvyr had conquered entire planets to solely inhabit them.
Jason even presumed that nobody dared to launch a sudden attack on the planets that had been entirely conquered by the Elvyr race, which spoke volumes about their strength.
Maybe his father had something to do with the peace prevalent in these unknown lands, but that was not something Jason could know so early.
Once they had reached an old-looking place that looked similar to the cultural sites of the eastern region on Argos, Jason could only smile lightly as Kiat advised them to rest there for the time being.
He had to report everything that had happened to the Queen, including the completion of his mission, and the questions Jason had asked him.
As such, the Sacred Elvyr quickly left after handing out a huge pile of cultivation resources, and even nutrition solutions, while advising,
"Just use the resources I provided if you two feel like cultivating or refining your body!"
With these words he vanished into a spatial portal, leaving the young couple alone.
After some time of utter silence in which they had looked at each other, they burst into laughter.
They didn't even know why they were laughing, but somehow, they felt like it.
Several minutes had passed, and they found themselves lying on the wooden floor of the place that looked just like a huge mansion of the eastern culture, with a large garden.
Meanwhile, the house just had a single floor, with sliding wooden doors.
When Jason first saw this, he had nearly shouted out, 'As long as it's not a pagoda, I'm fine staying here!'
He had no idea what he had against pagodas but there was something eerie about them that gave him the chills.
In fact, even the place he had been told to live was something that made him recall his time on Argos.
It had certainly not been a great time, but oddly enough, his emotions about Argos were mixed.
He had been happy during specific times, only for everything to turn grim with the intervention of the Drake family patriarch and the foreign races.
Right now, Jason knew that most things were far more difficult and complex than they seemed when he was younger.
This didn't justify the things that had happened, but the desperation of certain races and individual beings resulting into utter chaos was something he had witnessed too many times since then.
As such, his mind had adapted to witnessing this behavior a long time ago.
Despite his mind having calmed down, his heart was still hungry for revenge, and obliterating the beings that had caused the entire mess about the Great Argos war to happen.
Ever since losing his loved ones, he had reminded himself every single day to grow stronger and exact revenge on every single being that had been the cause of their deaths.
Hence, Jason knew that he was bound to visit three races in the future, once he had procured enough strength.
Lying next to Jennifer, he was thinking about all kinds of things.
Only after some time passed was he able to clear his mind once again, as he turned his face towards Jennifer, who looked at him lovingly.
This caused him to smile at her before he pulled Jennifer closer to him.
"Don't you think we deserve some time for ourselves after such a long time?" He whispered into her ear before seeing her blush as she nodded her head faintly enough for him to barely notice it.
His smile widened before he pulled Jennifer even closer to her as he planted a deep kiss on her lips.
It was finally time for them to forget their worries and give each other their undivided love and attention.
**
After several days had passed, a courier with two letters appeared in front of the house they had been staying in as guests.
Jason hoped to see Kiat again, but according to the young Elvyr, who was told to hand out the letters, Kiat was busy preparing something.
Not knowing any further information, the young Elvyr looked at Jason's stigma with an awestruck look, while clearly sensing his aura.
It caused the youngster to fall into a trance, and it was only when Jason snapped his fingers right in front of the Elvyr's face that he regained his senses.
Embarrassed about what had just happened, he quickly excused himself and disappeared once again.
Meanwhile, Jason opened the letters with the royal sigil on them, while returning to the living room, where Jennifer was already waiting for him.
"Every companion of the Celestia Halfling is allowed to go wherever they want. They don't have any restrictions as long as they abide by the laws of the Empire!"
The first letter was comparable to a permission certificate for the two of them to go wherever they wanted.
It also held details about the dos and donts they had to adhere to while staying on their land.
And the second message read, "Dear Celestia Halfling Jason, I welcome you in the Empire, and I hope that you didn't have too much of a rough time in the last few years before the Commandant of the Rocix Legion found you.
Due to certain reasons, I won't be able to immediately grant you an audience, which is truly regretful.
However, the future is a mystery, and we never know what will happen!
This might come across as unexpected, but I hope that you will pay heed to the request Kiat Merilan has.
We will need to make use of the little favor you owe us for which I want to apologize in advance!"
The entire message sounded weird to Jason, and he had to re-read it a few times before a frown appeared on his face.
'To think that even the queen has to be careful about the words she uses when writing to me…Why do I feel like this is terrifying?!
