Ethan cleverly put on a pair of sunglasses. But even with the sunglasses on, and relying on the Insect Queen's ability, he could only glance briefly at these Sun Worms that were radiating light and heat.
And as the Sun Worms lit up, not only did the snow on the ground melt rapidly, even the plague on Bird One's body began to recede.
The stubborn plague that had originally accumulated on Bird One's foot also began, at this moment, to quickly gather toward her toes. In the end, it condensed into a drop of ink-like liquid and was forced out through the pores of her toes.
But the instant the plague was expelled, it was directly melted into a wisp of black smoke by the Sun Worms' light, disappearing into the air.
Seeing that it worked, Ethan immediately directed the remaining Sun Worms to treat the plague on Wood Eight and Healer Lady, this pair of lovers who would rather live and die together.
In the end, under the scorching light of the Sun Worms, even the plague on the ground was completely cleared away one by one.
At this moment, Nostradamus finally snapped out of his stunned daze and said, "It actually… actually works?"
"Kid, where did you get these bugs?"
"This is way too insane, isn't it?"
"Sun Worms," Ethan directly explained to Nostradamus, "They can emit light like the sun, so they have the ability to dispel plagues! How about it? Pretty amazing, right?"
"It really is amazing!", Nostradamus's eyes were full of desire for the Sun Worms as he said, "Then… dear disciple, could you show some filial respect and give your master one?"
"It's not impossible, but…"
"Don't worry!", Nostradamus immediately patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of taming those ten Hell Tyrannosaurus Dogs for you. I'll even pick out riders for them and throw in a few sets of knight equipment as a bonus. How about that?"
"Then thank you, Master!"
Ethan waved his hand, and two Sun Worms immediately flew toward Nostradamus.
In the end, those two Sun Worms each stopped inside one of Nostradamus's eye sockets. It looked as if his two eyes had lit up, unexpectedly giving him the look of some kind of high-tech robot.
Nostradamus lifted his head proudly, his face practically spelling out "praise me."
Ethan smiled and gave a thumbs-up, "Master, that looks awesome!"
"Hehe!"
And just at that moment, the Genie Sylas appeared out of nowhere and said, "That really does look pretty cool! Um… little disciple, can you give me one too? If I put it inside the teapot, it'll definitely look super cool!"
"Aren't you planning to go solo?", Ethan shot him a disdainful look, "Why should I give you one? And who's your disciple?"
"Come on, don't hold a grudge like that."
The Genie Sylas hurriedly put on a flattering smile and said, "During the time I was infected by the plague just now, I've already reflected on myself. This must be the punishment for going back on my word. I promise that before the one-year agreement is fulfilled, I absolutely won't bring up leaving again! Look…"
"You serious?"
Ethan stared into Sylas's eyes, making sure the guy wasn't lying.
This time, however, Sylas nodded very seriously, "This time it's real. I guarantee it."
But in truth… There were some things Sylas didn't say.
During the time he was infected by the plague and sank back into the teapot, he had actually once again encountered a trace of divine will left behind by the person who sealed him back then.
That trace of divine will told him some things…
["When you see me again, it will surely be when you have met the brave one who takes you out of here."]
["The reason I sealed you in the teapot all these years was not to punish you, nor was it some kind of treatment for a prisoner after winning a war. I'm not that bored."]
["The reason I did this is simply because I foresaw that today, a hundred years later, a new disaster would arise."]
["And the one who takes you and Nostradamus out of here is also the person I've been looking for."]
["You can think of him as my successor, or my disciple!"]
["And he…"]
["Is also the only one capable of changing this disaster."]
["Assist him well!"]
["This is your only way out!"]
At that time, Sylas had wanted to press that trace of divine will further, to ask what exactly the world's disaster would be… But the divine will had already completely dissipated.
Even though, he had no idea when that trace of divine will had been left inside the teapot.
Just the fact that he had stayed in the teapot for so long without ever discovering it was enough to show how powerful that divine will was.
It was only today, when his soul was on the verge of being erased by the plague, that the trace of divine will appeared, protecting the last sliver of his soul and giving him the chance to wait for Ethan to arrive with the Sun Worms to save him.
This forced Sylas to believe what that divine will had said, and also made him believe that Ethan was likely the one who could save the world.
Because of this… that was why he was now shamelessly changing his attitude.
Of course, the Sun Worms really were beautiful. After seeing Nostradamus, he couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
"My master promised to help me train a cavalry unit. What can you do for me?", Ethan raised an eyebrow, making his meaning clear.
In other words, if you don't give me something, why should I give you anything?
"Well…", After thinking for a long time, Sylas finally, somewhat unwillingly, tossed a scroll to Ethan and said, "This should do, right! Even though it's a one-time-use item, it's enough to trade for ten of your little bugs."
[Insect Clone Scroll: A technique that allows an insect to learn a clone ability. The clone possesses the same abilities as the insect, but can only last for up to one day. Once the time is up, it will immediately disappear.]
[PS: The clone also cannot be attacked. If attacked, it will instantly dissipate.]
"Not bad!"
Ethan looked at the Insect Clone Scroll that Sylas had thrown over and nodded in satisfaction.
He knew very well that this [Insect Clone Scroll] wasn't simply being used by Sylas to exchange for bugs. It was more likely meant to make peace with Ethan.
But with his proud personality, he wasn't willing to apologize directly, so he chose this roundabout way to reconcile.
Even though… Ethan didn't understand why Sylas had suddenly changed his attitude.
But since a Archmage was willing to stay and help, Ethan had no intention of worrying about the reason. After all, for him, this kind of thing had nothing but benefits.
Why refuse?
