499 Going Around In Circles
As Yuchi waited with a rather serious expression, Prometheus solemnly said, “It’s just as you said. The divine flower race is different from the other races. They represent a strange existence. If they are allowed to grow, they will devour the entire world. When that happens, something new will appear.”
“As for what this thing is, I’m not too sure.”
“Our secret records do not have a detailed description of these things.”
The conversation between them degenerated to a basic level at this point, as no one wanted to reveal too many secrets.
As such, it became a simple question and answer exchange between them, to which the answers were simply yes or no.
While their conversation was ongoing, three shrine maidens were also discussing things with each other.
“If I’m not mistaken, that man should be Yuchi.”
“That’s right. He is indeed Yuchi.”
“Isn’t Yuchi a Dao heart realm cultivator?”
“Why is General Prometheus talking with him for such a long time?”
“That Yuchi person looks rather interesting.”
As the three of them were talking, a fourth person dressed in white appeared.
Her tone was very light, but there was an unquestionable sense of authority supporting it.
“Quiet down now. Be patient and wait for the general to return.”
When the other three people heard this, they immediately calmed down.
The Saintess commanded supreme authority among shrine maidens.
Her eyes quietly looked in Yuchi’s direction. It was impossible to sense or determine what she was feeling at this moment, as she seemed to have concealed all of her emotions in her heart.
As for the other guards Prometheus had brought along, they were also curious as to who Yuchi was and why he could speak with their general on equal terms.
Could it be that Yuchi was different? Was this person different from the rest of the Knights of the Round Table?
…
The weather above the Moon Goddess Sea was still quite good, and there was a soothing sea breeze in the air.
The strange fishes happily swimming about made the place seem like a dreamy aquarium.
Since he stumbled upon Prometheus this time, Yuchi straightforwardly asked all of the questions he had been keeping in his mind.
“I only know a little about the divine flower race, and it’s unlikely that Cofuran will tell me more. Since that’s the case, let’s turn the discussion back to the war at hand.”
“What do you think of the red fog?”
“The red fog seems harmless now, but it might become a huge source of danger in the future.”
Yuchi had finally brought up the matter regarding the red fog. Since it was the moon god race’s moons that had fallen, it was impossible for the moon god race to be unaware of this matter.
The only thing he had to consider was whether Prometheus would tell him the truth.
When Prometheus heard Yuchi’s question, he did not answer directly, but smiled and said, “”Mr. Yuchi. It seems that you really have a lot of doubts in your heart that have been bothering you for a long time.”
“But it doesn’t matter. We’re more than happy to answer you.”
“However…”
Yuchi listened calmly to Prometheus’s words.
He had said so much at the beginning, and it was obviously just to lay the foundation for some of the words that came later.
Prometheus smiled and continued, “However, there are some things that we can’t tell you right now!”
Yuchi chuckled.
If he did not want to say it, then he should just say so. There was no need to beat around the bush. He could simply say no.
Prometheus was a little embarrassed.
“It’s not because I don’t want to, but because these things involve some huge secrets in this world.”
“I hope you can understand my difficulties.”
Yuchi could only nod.
“Everyone has their own difficulties. I can understand. It’s no big deal.”
“Mr. Yuchi,” Prometheus said,”It’s not that I don’t want to answer your question. However, before I answer your question, I have a minor question for you.”
“What question?”
