The Primordial Record

Chapter 294 Fiona Shadowsoul Terms

At his words, Fiona Shadowsoul seemed to become invigorated and she smiled widely, waiting for him to continue.

It was sometimes difficult to merge the vision of a woman who was smiling here and a creature that could casually sacrifice millions of lives for a bet, and he knew it was only because of the buffer afforded to him by the Anima of Ohrox that he was able to converse with them so blatantly, more likely if he was here with his real body he would hardly be able to maintain his life.

Rowan shifted in his throne to face Fiona directly, "I will be having an unwanted guest coming soon, and although there might be a chance I am wrong, but if I'm not, I will like them taken care of. You may have to fight someone with powers closer to those of a god. I have already tasked Kohron with this request, so this request should carry relatively little risk."

"Interesting, tell you what, I was not expecting something like this when you summoned me." Fiona said, "It would seem like you really need this problem solved, since you are paying an awful lot to solve it."

Rowan smiled, "You would forgive me, death has made me… vindictive, and this is a thorn in my side that I can't bear to keep there any longer. Except for my Elura Fragments, name your price and I will be sure to satisfy you."

Fiona's eyes flashed brightly as if she were in deep thought, "Well you see, before I can give you the price I require, you should know I have no presence on Jarkarr unlike Kohron, so it would be difficult for me to reach there in a timely manner, since I assume you want to set a trap."

"Difficult," Rowan said, "not impossible. Tell me what you need, Fiona?"

"If you insist. Unlike Demons, we Mages value knowledge more than resources, especially for a witch like me, for with knowledge I can create anything I desire. If you want me to help you, then I have a simple payment in mind, nothing expensive and requires no effort on your part. I want you to tell me the process of your rebirth."

Rowan glowered inside, what she was asking for was impossible for him to give, he was not the rebirth of Ohrox Prince of Destruction, but a lucky Empyrean who came to possess the Origin Treasure of the Demon. His status as a transmigrator made him free of any Karma associated with this universe, and that was what deceived the Covenant that he was a brand-new soul on its way to recovery.

Rowan did not even consider trying to lie to her, he did not have the experience to smoothly pull that off, "You would have to forgive me for not honoring that request, my resurrection is a core secret of mine that cannot be divulged to anyone."

Fiona sighed, "Hmm… Not even if I pay you Elura Fragments. You demons always seem to want that stuff."

Rowan shook his head, "Not even a thousand Elura Fragments would make me give those up!"

Fiona Shadowsoul frowned, "Alas I require more than any physical goods you can give me at this time, maybe at the heights of your powers you may have something special for me, but now you don't have anything I particularly desire. Sending an Anima to Jarkarr would be costly seeing as how in a few moments later, it would inevitably be destroyed by the gods of the Empire when my presence is detected. Although since we are both from Covenant, I cannot be too harsh with my demands. You know what, I do have something I may accept. An Elura Fragment might be enough to reduce my losses."

Rowan said slowly, "How many Elura Fragments do you want?"

"Oh, let's see, I will not take too many benefits for any effort I put in. I will take just five! I hope it's fair."

There was no way she did not know that the amount she was quoting was all Rowan had, this was another test and Rowan was aware of it, "Don't be too hasty Fiona, I will not be giving you my Elura Fragment, and telling you about my resurrection is not a problem, it is just a matter of the time I choose to tell you."

Fiona had a thoughtful look on her face, "I understand, but I am in need of information pertaining to resurrection urgently. Okay, I agree, but it would have to be in 500 years."

"Make it a thousand and we have a deal." Rowan had to stop himself from grinning, he wanted to call out fifty years because he knew he would be strong enough to reveal more of himself to the universe at that time, but he did not respect how much these beings of power disregarded time. He was still too young.

Fiona made a growling sound, which sounded both cute and terrifying, "I am sorry, I can't go much lower than 500 years, that is my bottom line."

Rowan pretended as if he was plagued by indecision before he finally agreed.

?

Unlike Teleportation, using his Astrolabe required Rowan to point it in a direction, and he did not necessarily have to set a target. He could point it into the void and see how far he could go before losing steam.

This was what Rowan was intending to be doing in the next moment, he pointed the Astrolabe into the Divine Kingdom and began moving the seed that he preserved from Jarkarr, and he placed them into the Divine Palace.

With the devouring of the god statues by the Serpents, the energy field around the Divine Palace was gone. He made the decision to use the Palace when he noticed its immense size and the sturdy materials it was made of. At first, he had been planning on using another structure as a means of travel, but this Divine Palace of Erohim would have to do.

With the size of the Palace, the twenty thousand people did not even fill a single wing. The Divine Palace was eight thousand miles in length, and only a god could create an impossible structure such as this.
