Chapter 216 The Spirit Palace
Chapter 216 The Spirit Palace
Hearing the handsome red-haired man's words, Zanna nodded. The red-haired man guided both Zanna and Alister to the royal palace of the spirit race.
When Zanna had arrived, her coordinates were already known by the spirit queen of flames. It wasn't Zanna's intention to sneak into the spirit race and it would bring her a lot more convenience if the current spirit queen knew about her arrival.
As a long-lived race, the current queen of the spirit race was still the junior that Zanna had trained before. At that time, Zanna was only ten thousand years old and since hundreds of thousands of years have passed since then, the current spirit queen of flames was at least a hundred thousand years but younger than Zanna.
The power of the spirit queen of flames was estimated to be within the top 10 strongest in Fantasia. Although she would be defeated by the demon king and dragon king, the two dared not fight such a thankless battle against the spirit race.
Furthermore, the demon king might be the strongest, but he was also the one who suffered the most when the heroes were summoned.
Zanna had indeed complained that it took her a hundred thousand years to reach her current level of power while the demon king could easily reach it in a thousand years.
Unlike the dragon king and the spirit queen who could easily live for a hundred thousand years without having to worry about someone killing them, the demon king was used as a tool man by the goddess and every successor of the current demon king would face the same fate.
So even if the demon king was hailed as the strongest in the world, the rest of the long-lived races didn't envy him. After all, no one wanted to die miserably and have a bunch of cheat existences assassinate them.
Aside from a few minor disputes between the major races, none of them had any major conflicts as they wanted to prolong their power in case the demon king went mad and attacked them first.
Although the demon king was restricted by the Goddess of Fantasy and it would be difficult for him to leave the demon continent without bypassing the restriction imposed by the goddess, that restriction would be lifted after the heroes had reached demigod-level.
The major races in the world feared that if the demon king had gone mad and at that time, they had offended the demon race, their race would be attacked by the demon king. So to guard against that, the rest of the major races unanimously decided to not have any major conflicts unless the demon king was dead.
Due to that, the death of the demon king didn't signal peace but it would be the start of the war between the rest of the major races to solve their conflict of interests as soon as possible. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do that during the thousand years that the new demon king became the strongest again.
Although Fantasia didn't care about the rest of the major races and wouldn't impose restrictions on them, that was on the premise that the rest of the major races didn't hinder her demon king and heroes scheme.
Even the dragon race who claimed to be the strongest creature in the world dared not attack the heroes and demon king. They would even sacrifice some dragons to serve as EXP for the heroes and a tribute to the goddess.
Fortunately, the spirit race didn't have that problem. Their services were mostly to act as a summon beast for the heroes but under the premise that the heroes were talented or worthy enough to summon them.
It was also the reason why Zanna bore hatred to the Sword Hero and the rest of the heroes since the spirit race was a neutral force. They wouldn't offend anyone and wouldn't side with anyone yet the heroes were too greedy and dared to destroy their spirit realm and enslave the spirit race.
'Now that I have arrived before the spirit race was enslaved, I can protect the spirit race with Alister. Even if Alister doesn't intervene, defeating a few heroes is still within my capabilities.'
Zanna thought as she admired the surroundings of the spirit forest.
It was ten thousand years since she saw this wonderful scenery and the previous timeline didn't count since, at that time, the spirit realm became a barren wasteland devoid of any plant life.
After walking for around five minutes, Alister and Zanna finally arrived at the spirit palace.
Alister saw that it was quite similar to the huge fortress he had seen in the barren wasteland in the previous simulation, but not that much. At most, the shape was similar, but the spirit palace was more beautiful.
If the huge fortress from before was transformed into a stronghold by the Sword Hero by using the spirit palace as the foundation, the spirit palace was just a beautiful palace currently.
With an enormous golden gate as the entrance, the red-haired man didn't open it yet but asked Zanna, "Do you want to meet Her Majesty the Spirit Queen of Flames or to your residence first?"
"And for your residence, do you want to stay in the spirit palace or a mansion?"
Normally, the red-haired man wouldn't ask so many questions and just lead them to the throne room to have an audience with the spirit queen.
Even if it were the envoys or royalties of other races, they would be met with that treatment.
However, the red-haired man was the Duke of Flames and was a relative of the Spirit Queen of Flames. Because of that, he knew that Zanna was not only known as the Spirit Queen Of Chaos but also as the Primordial Spirit!
In other words, Zanna was the first elemental spirit to have ever been born in this world!
Such power was far stronger than the spirit queen of flames and was even incomparable!
Because of that, the duke of flames whose status was very high in the spirit race, was assigned as a guide for Zanna and her male companion.
In response to the duke of flames' question, Zanna answered, "We will meet with the Spirit Queen of Flames first. As for the residence, arrange a mansion for us near the spirit palace."
