Chapter 27 Collecting the Messenger

"How rude!" At this time, an old voice came from downstairs, "Since this friend doesn't want to leave, I might as well get to know him. Ignorant guy, remember this, not all strong people will wear a fairy badge on their bodies!"

Destry looked over and saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face coming upstairs with a gentle man with long green hair down to his knees. The old man smiled and said, "My friend, please be polite. I am entertaining an honored guest and I didn't expect to disturb your mood. What is your name, my friend?"

Destry casually threw two cups over. The old man and the gentle man caught them quickly, but they couldn't help but step back several steps and looked at Destry in surprise.

Destry smiled leisurely and said playfully, "Come over and have a drink. But, before asking someone's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself?"

The old man suppressed his surprise and said with some respect, "I am Roseguff, the Lord of Maple Forest City, and this is Edric, the Patriarch of the Edric Family."

“Edric?” Destry couldn’t help but turn his head, took a closer look, and chuckled, “It turns out that Shura is backing him up. No wonder a mere seven-star fairy dares to be so fearless!”

Because he learned a lot of information about the World of Life and the top masters from Infilia, and he had to be distracted by the affairs of the Four Divine Beasts Family, Destri's original plan to go to the Edric Family had been shelved. Unexpectedly, fate was so wonderful that he met them here by chance.

The Edric family is one of the eight families in the original novel that cross dimensions to hunt down the family of the four sacred beasts. It originated from the realm of life and majored in the rules of life.

"I wonder who you are?" Noticing Destry's indifferent attitude, Rosegoff collected his thoughts and said solemnly.

Edric beside him didn't say anything, just looked at Destry with his lips tightly pursed.

Destry did not answer Rosegoff and continued to drink and eat as if no one was around.

After a while, Edric suddenly shouted, "You are Destry, Mr. Destry, who is known as the number one person below the Great Perfection!"

"The first person below the Great Perfection?!" Rosseguff was very surprised. How could someone dare to claim such a title? God-level life is infinite, and there are endless people seeking fame and reputation. The title of "the first person" will definitely attract a large number of dissatisfied masters to challenge. Even if the strong ones have no worries about their lives, they can hardly overcome the disturbance.

"You have a good eye, Edrick, sit down and chat." Destry smiled.

Roseguff suddenly became reserved and was pulled to the table by Edric to sit down. As a seven-star fairy, the most powerful people he had come into contact with were only Shuras like Edric.

After Edric sat down, he quickly greeted Roseguff and said with an apologetic smile, "Roseguff, Lord Destri is the first person below the Great Perfection certified by the Great Perfection Upper God Iruka himself! We are extremely lucky to meet Lord Destri today!
But I wonder what you are doing in Maple Leaf City, is there anything we can help you with?"

Destry did not answer immediately. He left the two of them alone for a while. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he took out an image and said, "Take a look. Have you seen the things in this painting?"

The two looked over when they heard the sound, and saw in the painting a deep and translucent black pearl placed in a red leather wooden box, which was depicted vividly.

"It seems to be just an ordinary pearl..." Rosegoff observed.

"This is not an ordinary black pearl. Not only can the main artifact not destroy it, it will not be damaged even if thrown into the turbulent space." "This..." Edric hesitated for a moment, "I have seen a lot of black pearls, but I have never heard of such a quality that is indestructible."

Rosegoff also shook his head, "I've never seen it."

Destry suddenly had an idea. He motioned for Roseguff to go out first, and then asked Edric, "Which Lord's messenger are you now?"

Edric laughed in silence, "Don't make fun of me, sir. Although I have made some achievements in the rules of life, I have never been favored by the Lord God, and I am not the messenger of any Lord God yet."

"Huh?" Destry was a little surprised. He had subconsciously assumed that the patriarchs of the "Eight Major Families" except Bolin were all messengers of the Lord God. He had never imagined this situation - it seemed that the time for Edric to become the messenger of the Lord God was still in the future. Over the long years, the death and replacement of the messengers of the Lord God was also a very common thing.

Then Destry asked again, "What is your relationship with the Four Divine Beasts Family?"

Edric's eyes instantly changed from gentle to angry. "To be honest with you, sir, if risking my life can make the Four Divine Beasts family pay a heavy price, I will do whatever it takes!"

"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I will complain to the Four Divine Beasts Family?" Destry was surprised by his honesty.

Edric smiled, "You are such a great man. If you want to kill me, just do it directly. Besides, the conflict between my Edric family and the Four Divine Beasts family is known to everyone in the Life God Realm. It's just that I am unable to retaliate because of the support of the Four Divine Beasts family, and there is no need for me to lie and deceive."

"Haha, good!" Destry laughed. "Then you will work for me next. What main artifact do you want?"

Edric didn't react for a moment, and showed a confused look, "Master, what do you mean?"

But he himself did not realize that his tone had become more respectful in his previous words.

"Just as you thought, I invite you to be my Lord God's messenger. To do this, you can choose a Lord God's artifact!"

"Lord God, my lord, you are the Lord God?!" Edric said in shock. The next second, his eyes brightened and he showed ecstasy. "It is rumored that someone became the Lord God in the plane war ten thousand years ago. I always thought it was nonsense. Could it be you, my lord?"

After receiving Destry's affirmative answer, he continued happily, "Edric is willing to become the Lord God's messenger. I hope you can give me a material attack Lord God weapon!"

"You just need to know that I am the Lord God. You don't need to tell anyone." Destry smiled. "In fact, you are not my preferred candidate for the Lord God's Messenger, but it just so happens that you have a deep grudge with the Four Divine Beasts family, and the Four Divine Beasts and I are also at war to the death. This is a win-win for both of us."

When the goals are the same, Edric works for Destry, which is more convenient than hiring a main god messenger who can complete the task mechanically. Besides, the so-called top few will not be much stronger than Edric, at least it is difficult to kill him instantly.
