Adrian easily filled up the crystal that the dark elf has as if he just filled it with water. Even the dark elf player could not believe what is happening with his eyes. The dark elf player just stared fixatedly at Adrian while the latter is trying to hand him the crystal.
"Here you go. All done." Adrian stated but the dark elf player seemed to be stunned by what he just witnessed.
"Ey! I told you that we could help you fill it up. We just did not expect that master himself will fill up this crystal for you. You should be honored since not everyone can receive his favor." Sirius stated as he kept nodding his head.
"That is right." Kanlaon stated as he also nodded with him.
"Stop it you two. I told you to explore and not bother the others. Let us just be happy that you did not do something that could ruin his life. Can you please get the crystal? It is already full of energy from me channeling death energy from where you gathered it. You might have filled it on your own if you have enough time though." Adrian stated.
"Ah! Sorry! I got dazed for a second there. All I can say is thank you. I did not expect that you can actually do it. Thank you very much as you just made my mission easier, and I will call you, my benefactor." The dark elf player named Puch stated.
"You do not need to do that as everyone should help when they can. Anyways, I have to get going as I have to do something important now. Say goodbye you two." Adrian stated.
"Bye, weird elf guy." Kanlaon stated as he followed Adrian.
"Bye. Hope we can meet again next time." Sirius stated as he also followed behind Adrian.
"Ah! I forgot to ask him for his name. I did not even the name of those children or rather soulbounds. Nevertheless, he actually managed to fill up the crystal. The elder will still accept it right? I mean she did say to fill it up but not all by myself." Puch stated as he pranced back to the elder that gave him the mission.
Adrian had small talk with the tree of life and death while his soulbounds played with Vitae and Mortem. He did not need to wait long for Lime, Imiter and Imiter's family to come towards him. At first, they were blocked by the elven sentinels, but Adrian told them to let them pass.
"Welcome. You could say that this is the heart of the territory. Are you sure that you want to be my citizen? I mean, you can still go to a holy city if you really want protection. All I can offer you is my place but even I cannot guarantee the safety if you go out of its borders." Adrian asked Imiter.
"You do not have to worry as we owe the demons. When those faceless monsters were attacking our town, it was the demons that saved us. The guards in town helped but if the demons did not show up then our town would have been wiped." Imiter stated which made Adrian smile as the former seemed very genuine about his belief.
"I guess I need to show my appreciation for you as well. This is the first time that I am meeting someone called a Metamorph. Even the tree of life and death acknowledges you as a valid existence. I think that you should pray to it everyday seeing that it said that it likes you." Adrian stated as a joke, but Imiter and his family bowed with reverence upon the tree of life and death.
"I like them, Champion Equinox. I approve of their stay in the territory, but you already have a decision even if you did not want to consult me." The tree of life and death stated as it knew that Adrian already agreed partially to the demands of the people before him.
"Nothing should be freely handed in life or else they would get used to it and never work a day in their life. If you want something, then you have to earn it yourself since you will not feel satisfaction from getting something that is just handed down to you." Adrian replied via telepathy since him and the tree of life and death share a connection as long as the former is within his territory.
"I, Equinox, the Lord of Avalon. Hereby bestow Imiter and his family the citizenship of my territory." Adrian declared as the system automatically registered the names of Imiter and his family.
"Thank you, demon lord or lord demon." The parents of Imiter stated which made Adrian smile wryly.
"Why does that title feel a little chuuni? It is making me cringe somehow." Adrian thought as he responded.
"Just Young Lord or Lor will be fine. You do not have to affix the demon word on it as it makes me sound like the final boss that the hero must defeat." Adrian stated as he gets shy upon hearing such a cheesy title.
"Thank you once again. I cannot part with my son and those abominable things are always trying to find and kill him. We had to flee the town so that they could still remain safe from harm, but the others got caught up in the process." Imiter's mother stated as she started crying.
"I see. It must have been tough on all of you especially that the lady is with child." Adrian stated as he could sense another life present in the womb of the mother.
"My wife is pregnant?" Imiter's father stated in surprise as he also did not immediately believe what he just heard.
"Well, do not stress her too much since she is pregnant." Lime stated as she warned Imiter's father of stressing her wife.
"How did the esteemed young lord know?" Imiter's father asked.
"I am the Champion of the Twin Gods after all. One of them is the Goddess of Life and Death." Adrian replied as he gave them a smile.
