Chapter 351: Don’t Be Stupid, Zeras…
Silence reigned within the small room as Zeras looked blankly into the distance. To be honest he had never thought the EIA would still remember about the trial at all. After he had lost his mana core, he had thought the EIA would simply think he was now useless and chase him off, just like Adrian told him.
Even though they end up kind of chasing him off lastly, it was different. A manner he wasn’t expecting and a manner that was meant to greatly benefit him.
And now they were willing to fulfill three of his choices. The only thing he would probably need right now was to regain his cultivation base. But he could already hear what commander Sigrid said and that it had to be a reasonable request.
Recovering his cultivation back isn’t in the hands of the EIA, so he wouldn’t bother asking. Instead, he was now thinking of his life outside the EIA.
“Three things, huh?” Zeras mused to no one in particular as he exhaled loudly and finally chose.
“I would want a home to live in, and since I don’t have a home. I need one desperately. I don’t need a big mansion that will turn heads to me, just a comfortable three-bedroom bungalow to live my remaining life…”
“A house is not complete without all materials necessary for survival. Don’t worry Zeras. You will have a home that won’t require you to exit it all for the remaining years of your life. Consider it done. You have two more choices…” Commander Leviron answered.
“Secondly, I need a job,” Zeras said as the two commanders raised their eyebrows.
“Don’t be stupid, Zeras. You’ll only kill yourself faster like that. And what are you looking for a job for? Money? That is rubbish to a person like you, so why bother to end up cutting your own life short more?”
“I’m not stupid nor am I not aware of my condition. When I ask for a job, I don’t say one that requires a very large amount of intense work. I just mean something that wouldn’t make me just sit at home all day…” Zeras replied.
“WHMM, and what do you have in mind?” Commander Sigrid said with a raised eyebrow.
“What about a librarian?” Zeras asked as the two commanders furrowed their eyebrows before finally nodding their heads.
“Hmmm, consider that done…” Commander Sigrid said As Commander Leviron also nodded
“Also, can you make the position of the library and my home close to the Celestria Family City?” Zeras asked as Commander Leviron scratched the back of his head.
“Do you mean it should be one of the 9 Earth cities? The Celestria Valley?”
“That is the one…” Zeras said as they both gave a nod.
“Consider that done. Now you have one more wish…” Commander Sigrid said as Zeras directed his attention to the glass box in his arms.
“Can you use this Dragon core tear…” Zeras suddenly asked all of a sudden as Commander Leviron’s eyes narrowed before he shook his head.
“That is impossible. Only two people can use that core tear in your hand. One is the person who gave it to you in the first place. He can simply use it and regain back what he lost. The second person is none other than you, who was willed to use it by Vornek. If I use it would be like drinking a teardrop. It would have zero effect. Why though?” Commander Levion asked before asking with a raised eyebrow.
“Good. I want you to help me return it back to him…”
“WHAT!!!?” Both commanders immediately jumped up from their seats in shock.
“I said I want you to help me take it back to him…” Zeras repeated as the commanders sat back in their seats though they had yet to fully recover from the shock.
“Ok. But why?”
“I feel this is a waste on me. I can’t give anybody my half-life and potential, so why would I collect another person else? Vornek is a talented young dragon that would grow to a very high level of cultivation in the future and would definitely be a world powerhouse.
Taking his half-life away would be a waste of his own life. It has no benefit at all to him. So, there’s no need to waste such a resource on me. I have already given up on life. Right now, I only want to live out my remaining life, peacefully and happily. I hope you both understand my point…” Zeras said as he pushed the box back into the hands of Commander Leviron.
“That is my third wish. Can you fulfill that?” Zeras asked with a melancholic expression as Commander Leviron looked at the golden teardrop in his grasp before giving a firm nod.
“Worry not, Zeras. All your wishes will be fulfilled, just as promised…”
“Good. You can leave me here for now. Once you’ve accomplished everything, then you can come back to pick me up…” Both Commanders didn’t need somebody to tell them the young man was asking for his space.
Immediately they stood up giving one last look at Zeras who simply sat on the bed and looked at the glass window in silence and silently they slipped away.
Outside the hospital, a flying car could be seen parked in the area and immediately both commanders entered it before slowly ascending into the air and then they zoomed off into the distance.
“It really is sad. Such a talent, wasted, just like that…” Commander Leviron said as he looked at the hospital below him, his eyes filled with emotions.
“Young children. Their hot-bloodedness is what kills them in the end…” Commander Sigrid said as he slowly removed his eyes from the hospital and a fiery determination appeared in his eyes.
“There is no doubt that the EIA has taken a big loss this time. But in exchange, it also led to the elimination of a very great evil that has the potential to bring the world to its knees. The loss is well worth it.” Commander Sigrid said, his voice filled with conviction but sounding even more like he was trying to console himself.
“Don’t worry, Zeras. We will find the one who crippled you. And when we catch him, what he has done to you would be the greatest act of mercy compared to what EIA will do to him…” Commander Sigrid said and instantly the car zoomed into the distance.
