Chapter 782: Chapter 391: Long Dangdang’s Request_2

Long Dangdang took a deep breath, "I understand everything you said, Hall Master. But what I want to say is that we must go, even if there’s only a sliver of a chance. Those are our parents who raised us. Should we just sit back and watch them die even if we know going to save them will lead to our demise?"

The Hall Master finally opened his mouth at this moment, "You’re walking into a situation where it’s likely nine deaths and one life. But I can understand your feelings. We have been investigating this matter on our behalf, but there has been no news so far. Quite frankly, I don’t understand why the Wraith Kingdom did this. You two have faced an attack by the Wraith Kingdom before because your talents posed a threat to them. Kongkong’s swallowing ability can even halt the recovery of wraith entities. However, if they were only after you two and wanted to kill you, the Wraith Kingdom could have sent stronger forces to assassinate you. Before you entered the Temple Headquarters, your defensive capabilities weren’t that strong, giving them a fair chance. But they chose to kidnap your parents instead. What’s your take on this?"

Long Dangdang responded with a bitter smile, "I’ve been thinking about this question. But there is no answer. Regardless, the wraith entities have kidnapped our parents; we are forced to go after them."

Magic Temple Master spoke in a serious tone, "What if the Temple forbids you to go?"

Long Dangdang’s eyes grew staunch, without any hesitation, he responded, "Then I would have no choice but to take my own life to protest."

The Magic Temple Master’s eyes became sharp in an instant, "Do you realize what you are saying?"

Despite the tremendous pressure, Long Dangdang showed no sign of backing off," I understand completely. But I must do so. I know the Temple does not want us to go and risk our lives. However, we don’t have any other options. All we can do is infiltrate the enemy as discreetly as possible to look for an opportunity to rescue our parents, or at least confirm whether they’re still alive. If we, as children, are too scared to rescue our parents knowing they have been captured, we wouldn’t have the face to live on. Therefore, I ask for your understanding."

Gazing at his determined eyes, the Magic Temple Master was beginning to feel a headache. Before the Great Impartation Contest, he might have just advised against it but now that Long Dangdang has won the championship on behalf of Magic Temple, things have changed.

With a light sigh, Hall Master said, "We knew beforehand that you would go. Honestly, I did not hope for you to perform extraordinarily well in the Great Impartation Contest because it would only strengthen your determination. But you have to understand, if you are truly set on this decision, your rewards will no longer include the Divine Artifact, because we cannot allow you to bring it into the Wraith Kingdom and inadvertently enhance their power."

Long Dangdang nodded, "I understand. So, I hope I can exchange the reward of the divine artifact for something else." He knew before entering this competition that if he insisted on going to Calamity City, the six Great Sacred Temples would not award him a divine artifact reward. After all, they don’t even know if they could come back, not every divine artifact has a self-return ability like God’s Seal Cathedra Rex.

Hall Master said, "Tell me, what do you want in exchange?"

Long Dangdang replied, "Teleportation scrolls, as many as possible, preferably those providing precise teleports. We’re going in for a rescue, not to die. If there’s even a glimmer of hope, we will strive to come back alive."

Hall Master slightly nodded, "Anything else?" The value of a Divine Artifact could not be matched by a few teleportation scrolls.

Long Dangdang said, "We once entered the Devil Realm for experience. Because of Kongkong’s absorption ability, we consumed energy from the Devil Realm and were forbidden to enter. I hope to open the Devil Realm again and give us another opportunity. I need Kongkong’s help to repair the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace as much as possible inside the Devil Realm."

Hall Master nodded, "I can agree to that. Is there anything else?"

Long Dangdang took a deep breath and said, "Nothing else. But if possible, we hope to coordinate with the Federation’s Legion to launch an attack and then take action. In this way, we’re slightly more likely to succeed. We can also help the Federation gather more information about the Wraith Kingdom."

The Magic Temple Master said, "You’ve made a bad deal. Trading a Divine Artifact for these things."

Long Dangdang replied, "I still want the Divine Artifact if I can make it back alive. I think the Temple won’t treat me unfairly."

Magic Temple Master said, "Of course, if you truly manage to come back alive, the Magic Temple would still let you choose a Divine Artifact."

Hall Master said, "The Knights Temple will also reward you with a Divine Artifact. You can have two divine artifacts at the same time. As long as you come back alive, and you advance to 9th Rank or above in the future, I can even designate you my successor."

The Magic Temple Master suddenly turned his head, "That can’t be designated, can it? Hall Master is every Sacred Legate’s vote out of 36..."

Hall Master stressed, "Do not be in a hurry, I’m not asking him to join the Knights Temple. In fact, he picked both our Temples when he chose originally. There’s no need to force him to choose just one at a time like this. Let it be. Although he cannot become the master of any one Temple, but it is not impossible to dual-cultivate as a Hall Master. If you and I support him, what would be the issue for his future succession as Hall Master? As for qualifications, he is a knight of the Five-headed Golden Dragon, and it is clear that his mount can continue to evolve. Coupled with his championship in the Great Impartation Contest, as long as his strength is sufficient, what’s wrong with designating him? This rescue mission for his parents is his test. If he returns safely, wouldn’t his ability be recognized?"

Unable to help himself, Magic Temple Master said, "Aren’t you going to poach him anymore? You’re okay with giving him the God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, even if he doesn’t belong solely to the Knights Temple?"

Hall Master smiled lightly and said, "If he wants our God’s Seal knight’s God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, he certainly needs to belong solely to the Knights Temple. But if he can be recognized by Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, that’s not necessary. I am not just the Master of Knights Temple, but also a Sacred Legate. All my decisions prioritize the overall interests of the 6 Great Sacred Temples, rather than the Knights Temple alone. Of course, he is highly unlikely to be approved by Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex. At that time, if he still wants to become a God’s Seal knight, it depends on his own choice. But all this will happen afterwards, everything hinges on his safe return."

Having said this, he turned his gaze towards Long Dangdang, "Long Dangdang, you must understand the risk of your mission this time. We will provide what help we can, but that does not include the top powerhouses of the six Great Sacred Temples. Every bit of strength is vital, especially when we cannot allow ourselves to be captured by the Wraith Kingdom and increase their power. Do you understand?"

Long Dangdang admitted earnestly, "I understand."

Hall Master said, "Good. Now you can leave. We still need to discuss your support. Once we settle everything, we will notify you immediately."

"Yes, thank you, Hall Master."

Long Dangdang respectfully bowed and turned to leave.

"This kid is truly extraordinary," said Magic Temple Master, sighing while watching his departing figure. If it were him, in his early twenties, he would struggle to give up a Divine Artifact, but Long Dangdang didn’t seem to hold any attachment, this alone made him value Long Dangdang even more.

"Hall Master, what are you prepared to give him? For the teleportation scrolls, we still have a few good ones." Magic Temple Master turned towards Hall Master.

Hall Master replied with a faint smile, "Give him whatever we can. As long as we can retrieve it, he can take it. As long as they can return, they might very well be the leaders of the next era."
