Chapter 1779: This Is Indeed A Good Business
A hearty and delicious lunch gave the Moon Nation’s delegation a good impression of the Norland Continent. They could see their sincerity when they used such scrumptious food to receive them.
After the hearty meal, Kenneth didn’t waste any time. He brought Jonas and two formation masters along, and followed Novan and Babla to the place where the devil was sealed.
A few moments later, Kenneth, Jonas, and the rest stood at the periphery of the seal spell formation. They looked at the terrifying octopus monster that was about 1000 meters tall in the spell formation in shock speechlessly.
“Such an evil and terrifying aura. I didn’t expect the devil to exist in this world.” Kenneth looked shell-shocked, and all his previous doubts disappeared at this moment.
Babla’s description was not exaggerated at all. This devil was indeed powerful and terrifying. Even as a 10th-tier powerhouse, he still felt small and helpless in front of it.
This devil even launched an attack angrily at the seal when they just arrived. That spell formation was so fragile and flimsy that all of them were afraid that it would fall apart.
“This seal spell formation is indeed passed down from ancient times. It should be from the same era as that teleportation portal.” Jonas walked around the seal spell formation, and looked at that octopus monster in the spell formation gravely. “Therefore, this fellow has been alive since ancient times, and it still maintained its terrifying power.”
Kenneth and the others paled. A terrifying devil that had existed since ancient times.
“Apart from repairing and reinforcing the spell formation, we cannot do anything to it currently,” Novan said in a low voice.
Jonas looked at Kenneth, and said, “Your Majesty, I think we should help them repair the spell formation. If this devil broke through the seal, a catastrophe would be brought upon countless souls. With its power, we cannot guarantee that it won’t come to Moon Nation.”
Kenneth was silent for a moment before he nodded. “I grant you permission to assist them to repair this seal and reseal this devil again.”
Smiles appeared on Novan’s and Babla’s face.
“Master, we have already completed the deciphering of the majority of the spell formation’s runes. Why don’t we just start with these 60-odd characters.” Babla went up smilingly.
“No, we will start from the beginning.” Jonas shook his head instead. He smiled at Babla, who looked befuddled. “This spell formation is even more complicated than that teleportation portal, and we only have three days’ time. We can’t allow any mistakes, so we have to decipher the spell formation from the very beginning to ensure that every rune is correct.”
“Alright… I admit that I did guess some of the runes.” Babla nodded before she followed after them with a little notebook, preparing to be their assistant.
Jonas walked around the spell formation, and observed for a long time before saying to Novan, “Apart from deciphering the spell formation, we may need to have more materials for the spell formation. According to my observations, the original seal spell formation is already on the verge of collapsing. We cannot do repairs and reinforcements on it directly. We can only rebuild another seal spell formation.”
“Alright, I will arrange this matter with the city lord.” Novan nodded. He hadn’t known about that. They couldn’t even decipher the spell formation previously, let alone rebuild another seal spell formation. Now, with the addition of Jonas and the other two, the deadlock was cleared.
“We only have one day to decipher this spell formation, so we need to ensure accuracy and speed. Using the princess’s analysis draft as the foundation, let’s begin now.” Jonas and the other formation masters immediately threw themselves into the analysis work.
Novan returned to the restaurant to inform all the representatives that the Moon Nation was willing to help the Norland Continent rebuild the seal spell formation. However, all the races might have to supply more materials to rebuild the spell formation.
“This is a list of the materials. The materials used by the ancient seal spell formation are precious and of a great variety. They cannot be provided by just one or two races alone, so I hope all the representatives can help to amass these materials and send them to Chaos City by tomorrow noon.” Novan looked at all the races’ representatives. “This is a battle that races against time, and we already don’t have much of it left. We need to rebuild a seal spell formation, and seal that devil again.”
“Fantastic. If we can reseal it, then we don’t have to worry about it anymore,” Elliot said with a smile. He looked rather excited.
“This is the most optimistic outcome.” Novan flicked a glance at Elliot. “But the devil can already break out and escape before we can build the spell formation. Therefore, I hope all the representatives can get all your powerhouses to stand by to provide reinforcements to Chaos City at any time. This is an affair that concerns all the races on the Norland Continent. No one will be spared.”
All the representatives nodded and agreed. They knew what Novan said was true.
Louis got up with a grave expression, and said, “The seal is just the start. We don’t know how many seal spell formations were left behind since ancient times, and if they can still undertake their mission of sealing the devils, but we are certain that this devil’s lower body should be still sealed somewhere on the Norland Continent.”
All the representatives’ expressions began to look severe upon hearing that.
“If the devil that was sealed at some place escapes without us knowing…” Connie said softly.
“Then we will have no way to avoid it, and will have to fight it out with it,” Rex calmly replied.
All the representatives remained quiet, but this truly seemed to be the only choice.
Edward, that old fart, should be having a headache now? Mag looked at Josh, who had a solemn expression, and curled his lips. He removed his apron, and prepared to go out for a walk before fetching Amy home.
Mag was already not interested to hear what the representatives were going to discuss in the afternoon. It was most probably about how to plan overall for all the races’ combat power and the worst-case scenario that could happen.
As for the territorial issues that had caused a heated discussion in the morning, it was already pushed to the side.
Even though it was mainly because of the sudden devil incident, there were also some other reasons that suddenly popped up, such as the Moon Nation and Lantisde. The two of them had quite a huge number of tip-top combat forces. If they decided to join in the fight for territory, situations that could get out of their control could happen.
Mag knew the Lantisdeans’ attitude. They actually didn’t have much desire to fight for territory with the rest of the races. As they were the only amphibious race, the boundless ocean was their territory. They had plenty of food and a great living environment. They didn’t have to fight for territory on the land.
As for the Moon Nation, before a huge new passageway could be built, they didn’t have the ability to transport a massive military force to join in the fight for territory with the rest of the races.
The teleportation portal was in his restaurant, so Mag was even considering if he should set up a ticket booth for trips to the moon in the restaurant. He could sell two-way tickets. One had to purchase a ticket if they wanted to go to the Moon Nation, or if they wanted to come to the Norland Continent from the Moon Nation.
This is indeed a good business.
Even Mag was impressed by his own wisdom.
