Chapter 1033 Request
"I'm truly disappointed that you came to meet me before our promised battle." The Dark King looked at him, sitting on a giant horse.
Meanwhile, Theo was sitting on the ground while looking at him with a serious expression, not having the words to rebuke him. If not because of this problem, he wouldn't visit him at all.
"Ada!" The Dark King's son raised his hands in joy while falling to Theo's lap. He looked up and expressed something. Although Theo didn't understand his words, he could feel the joy behind his words. "Ada!"
Ignoring his words, the Dark King continued, "I gave you that mark because I recognized your power and connection. I never met someone who befriended multiple kings before, so I wanted to see the future you have."
"Ada, Ada!" The little guy turned around and gently shook Theo's clothes, trying to get his attention. After all, Theo had been staring at the Dark King with a serious face this whole time.
"I know that you have become a king, and I think you're going to challenge me a few years later, considering I need to wait for you to reach my level first. But…" The Dark King paused for a moment as veins started bulging on his forehead.
"Adada! Ada!" The little guy continued pestering Theo by shaking his hands, desperately asking for attention.
"It seems that you're the one breaking the promise first. That's why I am…" Before he finished his words, he couldn't help but raise his voice. "Syklokza! Where is your manner? I am talking to him right now!"
"Ada…" The little guy panicked before looking down with a sad expression. He tried to hide behind Theo while looking at his dad with a pitiful gaze. "Ada…"
"Keuk!" Even the Dark King couldn't say anything when he met this gaze. "Fine. I will hear you out if you play with Syklokza later!"
"Ada!" The little guy's expression immediately brightened as he instantly turned to Theo.
Even Theo did the same with a smile on his head. Both of them raised their hands and had a high-five.
"Ada!"
"You bastard. You are using my son!" The Dark King gnashed his teeth.
"I haven't even opened my mouth this whole time…" Theo shook his head helplessly. After he followed the tree's pointer, he entered this cave, only to be invited to talk with the Dark King. And after that, the Dark King was the one complaining this whole time, so Theo truly didn't speak anything.
It was the little guy that wanted his attention for no reason.
Even the Dark King couldn't refute his claim.
Theo then turned to Syklokza and said with a smile. "Can you leave us for a bit? It won't take too long. I promise I will go with you later."
"Ada!" The little guy nodded furiously before walking away enthusiastically.
When he left, the Dark King's expression turned serious again as he asked, "So, for what reason do you visit me today?"
"It's related to the Frost Authority…" Theo also had the same expression and presented the problem without beating around the bush.
"Frost Authority…" The Dark King narrowed his eyes.
"Well, I don't know his Authority; it's either ice or frost, I think?"
"No, you're not wrong. But enough with Authority, we call someone like this as Saint, so call him Frost Saint."
"In that case…" Theo paused for a moment and said, "I want to ask for Frost Saint's help."
"What did you say?!" The Dark King rose from his seat with a shocked expression. Although he had taken off his helmet, his face was still completely black, as if it was covered by some sort of power. Theo could only see his facial features which were similar to that of a human.
"There is a group of people aiming for his life by creating a hidden base that might contain various weapons. And those weapons are something that is out of Order. Hence, I want to ask for his help to destroy that base, so that no war between two sides shall happen." Theo explained the problem before the Dark King said anything, making sure he understood the severeness of this matter.
"So, it's you guys who want to challenge our saint. It's your problem, so you should be the one taking the responsibility." The Dark King snarled in anger.
"I know. But we have no means to prevent it…" Theo shook his head helplessly. "If we make a slight opening, they might hasten their plan and result in disaster. Either way, there will be a war between the two sides.
"When that happens… at least hundreds of millions of people will die. That's what I want to prevent… Also, I am a king like you, so I have the responsibility to protect the Order here."
Theo's words were genuine. Just like his grandfather, Leonardo, he also had the responsibility to maintain Order in this place. Unfortunately, he was so weak that he needed people's help.
"I don't know how strong they are, but two top 10 experts on the other side will come here to kill him with the help of that base and whatever weapon they store inside. I think you can consider the top 10 experts as an Authority Level Figure…" Theo explained the reason why he needed help was the focal point to maintaining that balance.
Even the Dark King fell silent when he heard about this.
Although he didn't know how strong the people from Earth, it was still possible that at least ten among billions of people on Earth to be an Authority Level Figure, so Theo's words might not be completely an overstatement.
When that kind of figure was in the mix, he understood why Theo couldn't do anything.
Theo continued with his explanation. "Imagine if there are two saints from here aiming for your saint's life… Can you do something? On the other hand, if you help us, we can start apprehending the culprits, making sure this situation won't happen again.
"If we destroy the base, we can investigate many things and learn the truth of this matter. It will be easy to do the rest to prevent anything similar.
"That's why I want to ask you, Dark King, to facilitate the meeting between me and the Frost Saint so that I can bring this news to him." Theo finally put down his request with a serene expression as if he had prepared to die just to ask for help.
Even the Dark King put on a grim expression, contemplating Theo's words carefully.
