God's Eyes

Chapter 968 - 'Small' favor

Standing in the front yard of the house Jennifer and Jason could consider as their temporary home, Kiat was patiently waiting for them to return.

Initially, he had hoped to find them inside the house, but the Sacred Elvyr had quickly noticed that the young couple were not around.

This forced him to wait for them to arrive instead of going all around the city to search for them.

It was ridiculous for him, a being at the Mecynar stage, to be forced to wait for someone else, even more so as he waited for two younger Cultivators at the Ascendion stage.

However, in the end, Jason's identity and lineage was a complex puzzle, which allowed Kiat to keep his calm.

While pacing out in the front yard, Kiat had thought of several alternatives and made up his mind about the way he wanted to open the conversation with Jason.

If others were to hear that Kiat was forced to weigh his words and use them wisely in front of a youngling, they would have probably laughed at him.

But that was not something he was concerned about because the situation at hand was far more complex than one might believe!

The fact that Jason was a descendant of the Celestia race played a huge role in this as well as the small favor he owed the Elvyr race.

With that in mind, Kiat forced himself to smile lightly when he sensed that Jason and Jennifer were approaching their temporary home.

Not long after they walked towards the front yard where they saw Kiat waiting for them.

They had long since sensed that he was there, and Jason was fully aware that the short period of peace he had sensed was bound to be over.

This was also the reason why he was quite displeased.

He had more than enough reasons to relax and enjoy some well-deserved rest for a few months, or if possible, even years.

During that time he wanted to improve his strength and prevent others, especially some powerhouses, from being able to end his life with just a flick of their wrist.

Not too long ago, this would have almost happened and it was only due to Kiat's help that Jason had a close shave with death as the Sacred Elvyr had successfully made the forces that had been sent out by the Primordials retreat.

Thus, using a few years to advance further in the Ascendion stage would have been the best thing to do, which would possibly also allow him to enter the Specta stage in no time.

To his misfortune, becoming stronger seemed to take longer than he had initially hoped.

However, somehow, Jason felt that this was not as bad as he had initially presumed.

This was even more so the case after he heard what Kiat, or to be precise, the Queen of the Elvyr Empire wanted from him!

"Hello Jason, I hope you had a nice trip through Zariath!"

Smiling casually upon receiving the greeting answer, Jason nodded his head a moment later as he replied politely,

"I and Jennifer were looking through multiple shops to find the items we need for our True Soul awakenings."

The moment Jason revealed what they had done during the last few hours, Jennifer looked at him with a slightly dumbfounded expression.

She didn't expect Jason to be honest with Kiat as the truth about the True Soul awakening of a Soul should be a well-guarded secret and not something you would casually tell others as if you were discussing the weather.

If their intel was not wrong, not even ordinary Grand races should be aware of the existence of the True Soul awakening.

Possibly only real powerhouses, and extraordinary races would know some things about it but even their knowledge would be limited.

But that was exactly why Jason believed that Kiat would know about the True Soul awakening of a Soul.

"The souls of the two of you are already matured? That's great to know!" Kiat answered with a trace of astonishment in his voice, affirming Jason's prediction.

Based on his enthusiastic response, Jason deduced that Kiat knew more about the True Soul awakening than he had initially expected, which made Jason smile to himself.

However, even though Kiat might be able to tell them more about True Soul awakenings, Jason also noticed that the Sacred Elvyr was visibly relieved, thinking that the situation had turned to his favor.

The trace of astonishment could still be seen in Kiat's eyes but it was overwhelmed by joy.

But that was not something Jason was concerned about. Instead, it allowed him to prepare himself for the situation that awaited him.

'So, I guess I will be asked to do something that is tricky, or possibly dangerous to be solved by returning the 'small' favor, I owe them?'

"Zariath should have quite a few exotic items. I guess, the two of you must have found some that are required for your True Soul awakening, am I right?"

Kian only asked this question because he wanted to be sure that his thoughts and hope were not unfounded.

As such, he smiled lightly the moment Jason nodded his head in affirmation.

"From the looks of it, I would require dozens of years to accumulate the fortune to purchase all the items we found just in Zariath…"

He found no reason to hide the truth from his savior.

Rather, being honest allowed Jason to see Kiat's reaction as the Sacred Elvyr came forward to act in a supportive and encouraging manner.

"Oh, really? If you want you can jot down the required ingredients in quality and quantity, and I will take a look at what I can do about it. What do you think about that?"

Through this overly supporting manner in which the Sacred Elvyr acted and readily helped Jason, he could be certain that they needed him for something.

Their mission was already fulfilled and they were not forced to help him anymore.

Jason could tell that, and he didn't see the need to hesitate as he handed Kiat the list he and Jennifer had put together.

While reading through the list, Kiat's eyes were fully focused on it, and it was impossible to tell whether he was relieved or tensed due to the list of items.

"It would be great if you could help us…But how about you tell me about the 'small favor' I am supposed to repay. To be honest, I can guess that I would be required to do some task that would be far more tricky than what one would perform to repay a 'small favor', so I hope you can be honest about what the Queen wants from me.

I also hope that its possible for me to receive the rather secret information about what the favor you want me to repay. After all, if the Sacred Elvyr cannot solve the issue at hand without my help then I can assume that it has to do something with Divine energy, right?"

Jason came up with this theory when he questioned himself as to why the Queen would want him to repay the small favor right now.

He was currently weak, and had nothing special if one were to compare him to powerhouses at the Mecynar stage.

With that in mind, Jason had figured out that it had either to do with something about him being a Celestsia halfling and use him as a chess piece in her political game.

However, this would attract too much attention, and endanger the Sacred Elvyr the moment the Primordials were to find out that they were hiding him.

As such, the only logical answer Jason was able to come up with was the fact that the Sacred Elvyrs required his Divine energy for something.

And in the end, it was exactly like that, as Kiat revealed the information about the details of the task they wanted him to perform in order to make him return the favor.

"The ingredients you want are quite exotic, and rare, but I'm pretty sure that the Queen will provide all of them as long as you help us restore the surface of the planet we expanded to!"

Hearing only half of the words the Sacred Elvyr had uttered was already more than enough for him to be flabbergasted as he knitted his eyebrows in confusion.

'Restore the surface of a planet? How am I supposed to do that?!?'
