Chapter 978, Section 973: The Kind-hearted Fairy

Marne had absolutely no interest in revenge, and he didn't need to worry about being hunted down. To be honest, Karina was probably no match for him now, and the magician was probably long dead by now.

Even if he hadn't died, he might still be a stranger to him now.

But he was quite interested in the great demons. First of all, if he had really stayed here for half a year, he probably would have come into contact with quite a few great demons.

Moreover, the fact that one can distinguish which powerful demons one has encountered and which one has not can itself convey a great deal of information.

Not to mention that this is obviously a part of his deepest memories, and digging into these will help him recover his strength. Moreover, this place is an absolutely safe place, so he definitely has to find a way to grasp all this information.

“I have no intention of seeking revenge,” Marne said. “I probably can’t afford the cost.”

The fairy girl nodded:

"understand."

Marx and Engels suddenly added:
"Besides, even a vengeful fairy might not be able to subdue the goddess of darkness."

The gray-haired man retorted:

"At least you and your friend should be safe, he's a great demon, but you might not be able to afford the high price."

Marx and Engels asked, seemingly out of curiosity:
"What if we offend Serane? Can he handle that too?"

The gray-haired man frowned:

"If it is that cunning Sun King who wants to deal with you, then we'll have to see how things go. If he has a reason to eliminate you, then Gails might be in a difficult position, but I am not him."

Only he can answer this question.

Upon hearing this, Ma En was now completely certain that the Goddess of Darkness was inferior to Serane at this point in time. This also indicated that the later stages were due to some special circumstances, perhaps because she had accumulated and enhanced her power through some method.

Before Mar and Eng could ask, the fairy girl continued:

"Besides him, there are other great fairies who openly offer wish-granting services. For example, there is a fairy near the lobby nicknamed 'Messenger,' who makes more common wish-granting transactions."

"Whether it's healing the sick and saving lives, achieving immortality, endless wealth, immense power, or even more abstract desires, such as making someone fall in love with you, or making someone become kind or evil, he can fulfill all these desires."

"According to him, he is merely a messenger of wishes, so he is generous in granting wishes to people."

Marx and Engels asked:

"But he certainly doesn't grant wishes unconditionally."

The fairy girl nodded:

"Of course, as the messenger of wishes, he feels obligated to judge whether the wisher is qualified. Therefore, whenever the wisher makes a wish, he will often give many conditions, costs, or tests in return. If you can fulfill his wishes, then you are qualified to make a wish to him."

"And the conditions he offers are always related to your wish. The greater your wish, the more you will have to give or the greater the price you will have to pay, and vice versa. If your wish is simply to cure your old hand ailment, his condition will likely just be to make you endure the pain that the disease would normally cause you in a shorter period of time. But if your wish is to gain the power of the Innate Realm..."

"Then he might make you complete a dozen impossible trials, each with a very high probability of killing you completely, and only after you complete them will he give you power."

"However, like all fairies, he is also a bit willful. Sometimes, if he likes you, he will grant your wish very easily. Why don't we go there and take a look later? It won't hurt to give it a try."

The fairy girl didn't say something: since he would relax the conditions if he liked her, then conversely, even a very ordinary wish might be met with harsh demands, as if he were making things difficult.

Ma En could also sense that her suggestion was probably not just out of good intentions.

But he still answered naturally:
"Okay, let's go take a look first."

The fairy girl immediately smiled:
"Okay, let's go right away."

As she spoke, she quickened her pace, and the originally somewhat long journey came to an end in just a few minutes with Ma En's consent. The scenery around them also changed slightly faster as they moved forward.

Soon, they arrived at the huge white tent, where there were many more people around.

But most of the targets were not the white tent that connected to the outside world, but an open space next to it. At least several hundred people were currently gathered around that open space. You had to jump over their shoulders to see a small, pretty purple tent with many cute and delicate ornaments hanging outside.

In front of the tent was a black table of unknown material. Behind the table sat a tall and handsome fairy. Despite being surrounded by so many people, he looked unusually tired and listless. He even yawned at them.

Seeing this, Ma En whispered to the fairy girl beside him:
"Will he be able to receive all these people?"

The fairy girl replied:
"Of course not. The number of people the envoy receives each day depends entirely on his mood, but at most it's twenty or thirty, and that's assuming most people are turned away. On some days, he might only receive one or two people."

Marx and Engels asked:

"Then how does he choose the wishers?"

The fairy girl shook her head:

"He doesn't select, and unlike other great goblins who have selection rituals, such as if you win enough in the arena, the Slayer will directly give you the opportunity to make a wish. The messenger has no conditions whatsoever."

"He will make you line up yourselves, and he will only grant your wishes once you have lined up properly. He will not interfere with the process, so these people have to solve these problems themselves."

Marne scratched his head:
"It sounds like a lot of trouble, and if they can't take action against each other, or if there isn't anyone with credibility to support the overall situation, it's going to be very difficult to accomplish."

The fairy girl nodded:

"Even if it were possible, it would be very difficult. After all, no one is willing to give up the opportunity to make a wish, and there are definitely more people who want to make a wish than those who can. Two months ago, a very powerful martial artist presided over the queue, and at that time, a few people were able to make a wish successfully. But since he left, no one has been able to do it."

Marx and Engels shook their heads:

"Looks like I won't have a chance to make a wish either. I definitely can't handle something this troublesome..."

The fairy girl, however, revealed a sly smile:
“Queue? No need to queue? I can take you to see him and make a wish. Have you forgotten that I am a fairy? Besides, I am friends with the messenger. I can just take you there.”
