Chapter 983: What Blake Wants

-----

"There's a list of things I'll want. But first of all, I don't want any territory. I doubt I'll have time to manage anything." I sighed. "However, I'd like the mining rights of several resource-filled mountains. Alongside all the possible Spirit Orbs you can secure from the entire continent."

"T-The Spirit orbs from the entire continent?!" Everfrost screamed. "That is such a strange… Request. It is very hard as well! I don't think I can-"

"Then I won't help you in your little political game." I said. "I require Spirit Orbs to grow stronger and also to summon more of my familiars. Without them, this world will be destroyed eventually. I hate to admit it, but I am the only hope your entire world has, and well, my friends too."

"…" Everfrost remained in silence.

Nobody argued about it either.

"Your King would never agree to this, but I hope you would." I smiled. "As long as you agree… I can give you this damned country if you want."

"…" Everfrost closed her eyes and nodded. "Okay, but I can't ensure you 100% of all Spirit Orbs, they're also an important fuel for all our technology and-"

"Okay, 80% is enough." I smiled.

"T-That's still so much but… Okay." Sighed Everfrost.

"I won't need the low rank ones anyways. Only from B Rank and above would be good." I smiled. "If you were worried about that."

"O-Oh!" Everfrost face changed instantly. "Is that so? Then maybe it won't be as hard, we can always use the ones from C Rank and below, which are many more and much more common for our technology."

"This agreement also includes every dungeon where such Spirit Orbs of B Rank and above can be obtained. They're all going to be mine." I said.

"T-There's currently eleven dungeons of B Rank and above spread across the continent… I suppose I can arrange that." She sighed. "Something… else?"

"Not for now." I felt good. "That's all for now. Tomorrow is the meeting with the King, right? For now, simply forget what we talked about. We will move on our own and save your continent. These political games are not really of my liking anyways.

We came here to save your country, your people, and the Yggdrasil Tree."

"I-I know, and I am sorry for taking so much of your time while talking about such things." Elfriedden's mother apologized. "And thank you for coming here. I am truly, completely thankful. Is there anything we can help you with while you prepare?"

"I would like a map of the entire continent, its areas, and every place you've seen the Hell Gates, and of course, the overtaken territories." I said. "Also, do you have Spirit Orbs? B Rank and above."

"W-We can give you what I have in the city's treasury." Sighed Everfrost. "Something else?"

"Potions, Mana Potions mostly. Spirit potions, I heard you Elves make them." I said. "Is it true? Can they restore Spiritual Energy?"

"Yes, we do have them!" She nodded. "Very well, I shall deliver everything by tomorrow in the morning."

"Excellent." I nodded. "Everyone, I'll spend the rest of the day exploring the city. Want to come?"

"Sure? Okay!" Eric nodded. "Alberta, let's go sightseeing!"

"Oh, that sounds nice." Alberta smiled. "Alright~!"

"I guess we don't have much else to do for now." Erdrich nodded. "Let's relax one last time before the battle finally begins. I can feel them, so many of them, everywhere… We'll be busy the moment we begin."

"Demons, you mean?" Asked Eric.

"Yep." Erdrich sighed. "I have no idea what they're up to, but probably something really bad."

"I wonder if that Fafnir Dragon is cooperating with the demons…" Said Elizabeth.

"Most likely, it is the very reason things have escalated to this point." I said, as we walked out of the manor to explore the city. "Elfriedden, do you know any info regarding this?"

"Ah? Oh, yeah…" He seemed to be rather tired and had his mind elsewhere. "It has been seen many times that Fafnir actively protects the larger demon settlements surrounding Yggdrasil. To destroy the demon threat, it is necessary to slay that divine dragon, a feat nobody has accomplished until now, when you… well, all of us, slayed that white dragon."

"So not even Rank 8 Spirit Masters can slay a divine dragon, but WE could?" Chris asked. "It makes no sense, why is everyone so weak?"

"It is not just that, there could be other external factors that weaken them, such as having to fight hundreds of millions of demons to get to Fafnir." I said. "That would exhaust even a Rank 8 Expert. Also, it could be said we are much different than other people. We've been developing both Physiques, Magic Circles, and our Spirit Orbs together.

All these things complemented together have given us a lot more stats, and that's without considering all the buffs we can conjure, or that my spirits, familiars, and so on can use."

"Right…" Chris nodded. "Especially you, Blake! Don't you get like a bunch of stats with your Familiars around?"

"I do…" I nodded. "It is a combination of many unique factors we've developed, that's why we are so unique compared to other people. Though, it is only when we cooperate that we can get the best of one another's strengths."

As I talked about it, we explored the city, sightseeing the many wonders. Elfriedden slowly calmed down and went back to his usual self. It seems that talking about all of these politics had left him rather affected.

After much exploration and enjoying the rest of the day, we returned back to his house, where we rested, preparing for the next day. Tomorrow we were meeting the King and also finally seeing what was happening behind the border created by the Barrier.

Well, I would love to just sleep, but there were a few things I needed to do right now. I looked at my own Status once more, and then at the available Skill Trees:
