Chapter 612 Deal
Robin looked at Evergreen in surprise for a few seconds before he extended his hand and felt her forehead as if he was measuring her temperature, " Did I hear wrong or did you just say that you will help me for free? Are you okay?"
"Don't you like anything I do?!" Evergreen stomped his toes again, "...I told you before that if I to choose you as my owner, I will have to go all in, and that's what I'm doing."
Evergreen let Robin hold his toes and groan behind her, then she took a few steps to the side with her eyebrows furrowed as if she was thinking about something deep, "I know you don't give much consideration to the Nihari Planet War. You think it's just something you just have to put in some effort to get rid of, and you think your previous knowledge of the timing of the war gave you an overwhelming advantage, and in fact, this advantage appeared in all the machinations and plans that you prepared, but do you think that the huge space array that you prepared or all those machinations will put that war in your pocket? My future owner, you are truly a genius, and the way you plan is amazing. But this war will NOT end the way you want, you must be sure of this. Not because you are not smart enough or that your plan is incomplete, but for a simple reason, which is that you have the golden eye of truth... but no matter what happens in that war, you must survive and continue moving forward! The Terra beasts will give you a greater chance of victory or at least survival, and fully refining me will give you an additional layer of protection, so just do what I say!"
"...What do you mean by that? What do my golden eyes have to do with anything?!" Robin stopped yelling as if he had forgotten the pain in his foot and looked at Evergreen in shock, "Evergreen, do you know anything about the coming war?!"
"I don't know anything about your stupid war! And it doesn't matter what I mean about your eyes, I'm not allowed to speak anyway. you have to focus on what I am saying. I am saying that I am willing to break the rules for you and prepare your mounts for you ten years in advance, but you must promise me that you will do everything in your power to fully refine before that. Do we have an agreement?" Evergreen looked back
"....." Robin focused his eyes on Evergreen for a few seconds and then extended his hand, "No matter how I think about it, I don't see it as a bad deal for me, I'm planning on riding you anyway, so getting a few mounts on top of that is worth it."
Evergreen extended her hand and shook his hand, "Good, you can start now then…" Her eyes looked extremely heavy and troubled at this moment.
"Of course not!" Robin chuckled, then took a step away from the green orb, and then his avatar vanished
--------------------------
In the garden of the Imperial Palace-- Above the steep hill
"Where the hell do you think you're going? What about our deal?!" A cute clay statue formed in front of Robin and it shouted at him
Robin passed by the statue as if he did not see it, "Go back to your domain, Evergreen. You said that you would be harmed if you materialized in front of anyone other than me or the Tree Fathers because that would be considered an initiative on your part to communicate. I know what I'm doing."
The clay statue slumped down and disappeared, but the metal decorations on the palace gate in front of Robin began to change until it resembled Evergreen's face, "You think I care about the consequences after I made that deal with you? Come back now and finish your refinement, or else..!!!"
Robin's steps slowed before he reached the gate, and his smiling face turned into a frown, "Otherwise what?"
Evergreen remained stern for several seconds before collapsing, "...Or I'll cry!"
Robin smiled again, "You said that destroying the Tree Fathers would speed up the refinement process, right? I'll work on that now... Didn't I tell you that I know what I'm doing? Come on, go back before anyone sees you."
"...Okay, as long as you keep your promise!" The metal face began to disappear and the decorations returned to their places
"Huff~" Robin let out a sigh, then pushed the gate and walked out of his palace for the first time in five years
"Emily, can you hear me?" After only taking a few steps, Robin inserted his spiritual sense into the voice ring, "Are you still on the steep hill?"
"Your Excellency, Emily hears you. Yes, Your Excellency, I am still in charge of the headquarters." The response came quickly
"Good, good... I want you to gather for me the same team of Saints and Sages who participated in the First Warlord Trial and send them towards the covered training hall. Gather for me some of the available Rune Masters and send them there as well." Robin did not issue any orders restricting the spread of information about the Warlord's experiment, intending to create hope and anticipation for the future in the hearts of the Empire's soldiers.
"Your Excellency, all the forces that participated in the Warlord Test were assigned to secure the Space Gate by Governor Alexander and are now in the settlement at the foot of the hill. They will all be in the hall in less than one hour." Emily confirmed.
"Fine, I'll be there!" Robin closed with her and then selected another soul imprint recorded in the ring, "Sweetie, what are you doing now?"
"Dad! When did you leave your seclusion? Where are you now?!" A happy voice sounded in Robin's mind
"I just came out and I am now going towards the Development and Research Center. Do you know what it looks like exactly?" Robin's smile was evident while he was walking. Even when he met someone on the way, he would nod or raise his hand to return the greeting without changing his facial expressions. It can be said that Zara is the only one who gives him this feeling of psychological comfort currently. Perhaps that is why he decided to give her the treasury so that she would remain safe and far away from the war
"Oh, are you finally going to the Sky Opener Tower? You will find it near the headquarters building, almost the same height and with a pointed top like an obelisk. I will meet you there!!" Zara replied excitedly
"Ahaha, Sky Opener Tower? What a name, Old Gu was definitely the one who thought of it, Haha." Although the messages were entirely mental, Robin laughed loudly in the middle of the street, "You can meet me there, but I need something from you first."
"Sure, Dad. How can I help?"
"Do you remember the resources Jabba requested from you for the Warlord Array? I want you to send those same resources to the covered hall but this time I only want a quarter of the amount. Can you secure that?"
"Of course! Do you want to start another experiment?"
"Something like this. Come on, let's meet in the tower, that sky opener thing" Robin smiled, then closed with her, and began searching for that obelisk-shaped tower
"Ah, this is it! This is going to be fun..." Robin rubbed his hands when he was a building that met with Zara's description and began to take his first step in that direction when: *Boom*
The sound of a huge explosion coming from afar resounded around
The sound of the explosion was so strong that Robin immediately took out his spear and looked in the direction from which the explosion was coming!
"Please calm down Your Excellency, I mean You Majesty the Great and Reverend Emperor, there is nothing that calls for a reaction from you."
"Hmm?" Robin looked next to him in surprise and found a young man, barely sixteen years old, bowing fully. His clothes and age indicated that he was still a civilian from the family of one of the soldiers who had been transferred to the colonies, and the tone of his voice indicated that he was really not worried.
Robin looked around and found all the passers-by on the street continuing on their way normally, and whoever was talking about a topic continued the conversation as if nothing had happened...
Robin put his spear back into the ring and then took two steps toward the young man and helped him up, "What was that, kid? Why doesn't anyone seem to notice that explosion?"
"Oh, this has become part of our daily life now. It would even be strange if we did not allow one or two explosions a week.." The young man laughed, but he quickly remembered that he was standing in front of the Emperor, so he stifled his laughter.
"Normal? What is normal? What exactly are these explosions and why does no one stop them?" Robin asked more sternly
"It is a disciple of Your Majesty, the great Master Jabba. I heard that he began experiments on the array a year ago, and since then we have heard one or two explosions daily. All the hills near us have been almost leveled to the ground because of his experiments, but recently these explosions have become only once or twice a week, so everyone says it must be good news, ahaha.. ahem."
