Chapter 1070: Is All About The Attitude
The tiny Spirit Snake laughed, shaking in Karl’s hand with amusement at the Shaman Elder’s assertion.
{Why don’t you ask the Goddess to expel us from her Temple? Surely, if your ways are the right way, she will protect her loyal Shamans?} The little Princess asked.
The Shaman Elder visibly calculated the chances that Karl would not interfere if he attacked the little snake. It was only Commander Rank, a tiny obnoxious little Royal that he could squish with a single strike.
But the battle was getting more intense in the compound, and the fighting was getting closer to where they were now.
One of the other Elders pushed forward to address Karl directly.
{Can we count on you to do the right thing, if there is no peaceful resolution?} He asked, but his tone made it more of a demand that expected to be obeyed.
“Let me confer with the Goddess.” Karl replied.
The Elders looked confused as Karl borrowed the new Goddess statue from Remi’s space for a moment and placed it in his other hand, while still holding the Spirit Snake up.
“What do you think?” He asked the statue, with a small pulse of mana into the carving of an offering in its hands.
The image of a six-armed Naga Shaman Goddess appeared in front of him, then dissipated into a blue Water Magic barrier over the tiny snake.
“I think that’s our answer.” Karl replied with a shrug, then gave Remi back her statue so she could finish stabilizing her power.
The Shamans stared in shock at Karl, and even the tiny Spirit Snake was frozen in confusion.
{Did you just get a direct answer from the Goddess to your question?} The little Princess asked quietly.
“Of course. That’s kind of how Holy Relics work. As long as you ask them the right question and offer them some mana in good faith, they’ll give some sign as to their opinion.
Though, I would note that no answer is an answer of its own.” Karl explained.
The Spirit Snake tilted her head in confusion. {How is that?}
“Haven’t you ever met someone who asked questions that weren’t worth a response? Not even a flicker of recognition?” Karl asked.
Deve and Lotus began to laugh, while Tessa and Ophelia shared a knowing look.
Lotus was one hundred percent guilty of being that person on many occasions. But it made her happy to ask, even if she’d already made up her mind to do the thing anyhow.
The young Spirit Snake was looking at Karl as if he knew the wisdom of the universe, and even the Shaman Elders had to smile. It was a bit more complex than that, but surely the young one would remember this day for the rest of their life.
As short as it might be.
{Hi, Mom. I made a new friend. He’s friends with Queen Remi, and the Goddess answers his questions.} The Spirit Snake greeted their new guest. freēwebnovel.com
