Valerian, The Legendary-Chapter 244 - 244 Proposal.

244 Proposal.

Valerian was standing behind Fragrantia, he said, “What we need now is to focus on dealing with the Valkyrians. You all probably do not know the situation of their nation, but it is not something that allows us some time to catch our breath. If we do not want to face wars and inflation, we have to train our people better. The one alternative we have at this moment is to face the Valkyrian champion at the Triumph Meet.”

The fellow leaders in the delegation nodded, and Zeenat said, “The five nations all have a familiar magical species. I have planted some moles inside the Valkyrian court, these moles are a few merchants close to the royal court. Before coming here, we received a piece of important information that the Emperor of the berserks is planning to enter the realm of the Wolf god to train for the triumph meet.”

This news was not short of a terrifying bomb that disrupted the calm state of mind established held by all the delegation leaders. Fragrantia and Libra also did not know how to react when Valerian said, “Since all the five nations have a familiar magical species, then why can we not enter such magical realms to train as well?”

Minister Darox of Sapientia said, “It is not that easy to enter a magical realm. The magicals are rarely spotted and despite how they bless you, they never interfere with the matters of the human realm. Especially, the conflict between nations. So, I would say that it is better to scrub this thought from our minds.”

The other two delegations also nodded and Valerian said, “Then is there a way to have an audience with these magicals?” ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Royal Teacher Jal, an old man with a lot of knowledge, the royal teacher of the Stella empire spoke up, “Your Highness, this method of seeking an audience with the magicals requires us to pay a considerable prince, I wonder what you hope to achieve with this audience.”

Valerian replied, “Your Grace, I would like to reason with them. As absurd as it may sound to you, the magicals are not people who do not care about this world. Their realms reside in this world as well, to sustain their realms, they need to make sure that we are well, to make sure they are well too.

The realms of the familiar magicals must be located inside the borders of our country, if they are as indifferent as we all think they are then all that awaits them is a barren land that will be of no use.”

The diplomats were all surprised by this reasoning. Valerian was indeed smart, and they all acknowledged him. The royal teacher of Stella nation said, “Your Highness, you display the wisdom that surpasses your peers and even me. Since you wish to reason with the four magicals for the sake of our nations, I will take the lead and summon the representatives of the four magicals species.”

.....

The people were surprised that something like this can be done, but they also knew this old man would not speak without any basis. Libra said, “Shall I arrange a special place for you to perform this ritual?”

The royal teacher shook his head and said, “All I ask for you to do is swear that you will never harm the magical species I summon at any cost. Do not worry, the magicals also reciprocate the oath.”

Libra nodded and Zeenat said, “Your Grace Jal, please go ahead with it.”

Royal Teacher Jal stood up from his chair and walked to the center of the pavilion. He took out a cloth bag from inside his magic pouch and then poured out the content of the cloth bag onto the floor.

He made a circle and then he divide the circle into four equal quadrants. Then Jal looked at Valerian and said, “Your Highness, I will now use this special sand to draw the signs of the four magical species. Then, please drop some of your blood on the symbols and chant after me. This way you will be able to form a connection with them and they will communicate with you.”

Valerian nodded and the royal teacher created the symbols. He then gestured to the prince, who walked closer to the circle and then used a knife to slash his palm, blood started gushing out and sprayed the four symbols.

The old man spoke in a low voice, “I seek an audience with the divine beings of nature, the elvas, the Kitsune, the centaurs, and the clar-awk.”

Valerian repeated these words in a loud tone, and then he stood in the center of the circle. Gradually the magic circle began glowing and the mana saturation inside the pavilion increased. This change alerted everyone inside the pavilion. Royal Teacher Jal said, “Step back, it was successful.”

As soon as his words stopped, the symbols on the floor glowed brightly, and then four magical beings were found standing around Valerian.

The Elvas were a group of species that looked like a normal humans but had pointy and long ears. They carried a bow on their backs with a quiver tied to their legs.

A kitsune was also similar to a human woman, but she had a fluffy tail behind her, and a face that could topple the countries with shiny eyes.

Torso of a man and looked like a horse below the waist. A long broadsword was tied to the back of this creature, which looked like a man ready to go to war.

The last creature around Valerian did not have anything that could be associated with humans. It was a bird as big as a palm. However, the aura around this small bird was something that the other three could not compare to.

The Elva man seemed to be elusive and detached, the Kitsune had a seductive charm lingering around her. The most fierce among the four was the centaur, the battle intent was simply too strong, and the Clar-awk was a bird with an aura of righteousness.

The four creatures were covered with a dim glow around them. Valerin bowed his head and said, “My name is Valerian, exalted magicals. I thank you all for answering the summon spell.”

The four magicals have never seen someone like this. The boy bowed his head but he did not lower his gaze, he did show them respect but not the obvious fear of coming in contact with magical.

The Kitsune lady smiled and said, “You are an interesting human, not only did you contact four magicals at the same time, but you also do not fear us. What region are you from?”

Valerian replied with a faint smile, “I belong to the Lumen Empire, your grace.”

The kitsune nodded but she did not get a chance to reply when the Centaur interrupted her and asked in a stern voice, “What is it that you need from us? You dared to summon me when you do not belong to my region? Do you not think I will kill you right now?”

Valerian gazed back at the centaur and spoke with his head held high, “You can try to see if you can kill me, but if you did not listen to what I have to say, then the next time one of your kinsmen came to the human world, you might find yourself in a barren land. So, please go ahead.”

The centaur was enraged but the next moment the Elvas said, “What is it that might be able to threaten the existence of the balance between our worlds.”

Valerian replied, “The berserks in the east are running out of time to sustain with what they have and they are on the verge of starting a war with the entire continent. They know no restraint and no rules apply to them.

The eastern part of the continent has turned barren and that is not all, even the lives of the humans that are considered your familiars are being hampered and harmed.”

The Elvas looked back at Valerian with a calm gaze and said, “You may not be able to bear the cost of providing me wrong information.” f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Valerian smiled and said, “I am not free enough to just summon you all for a round of banter, feel free to go and check the situation on your own. The result will tell you what is the truth. You can approach the driads to find the truth.”

The clar-awk said, “Child, tell me, what do you need in order to regain the balance.”

Valerian replied, “Your grace, I would like to propose that all the champions of the four regions can enter the magical realms for training and face the new Emperor of the Valkyrians to regain the balance.”

The Kitsune chuckled and then asked, “What is the guarantee that you all will not have any designs against the magicals then?”

Valerian wanted to reply, but an ethereal voice sounded, “Is my word enough to vouch for them? I can vouch that if any of the people tried to harbor designs against the magicals, I will hunt them down.”

The people all turned their heads and found a white tiger walking over with a pride that put everyone shame brimming from her eyes.
