Chapter 2133

James explained why he came here.

He knew this beautiful woman in front of him was the princess of the most powerful country in this land.

If he could enlist the princess’ help, he would have a good chance of acquiring food.

When Laelia learned of James’ motivation for coming to the Land of Tabal, she was a little taken aback.

‘Is the situation in the outside world really that bad that people are actually worried about food?’

She gave James a strange look.

James had no idea why Laelia was looking at him strangely. He touched his nose and asked, Why are

you looking at me like that?”

Laelia asked, “Is the outside world so impoverished that you even have to worry about food?”

James had no knowledge of the situation in the Land of Tabal. He also had no idea how this world

operated. He gave a general overview of the situation on Earth.

After listening to him, Laelia understood.

“I see. So Earth is less developed than the Land of Tabal. To my understanding, the Land of Tabal’s

standing in the Sealed Realms is already quite low. It appears that Earth is lagging further behind the

Land of Tabal.”

With a pleading expression on his face, James asked, “C-Can you help me?”

Laelia’s pretty face looked troubled. “I really want to help you, but there’s a crisis in my country right

now. My father made me leave with the treasure. I still don’t know how things are in the capital. The

Dark Keep is the most dreadful force in this world. Even the royal family of Tabal is no match for them.

I’m worried that my father…”

Laelia was in a bind. Though she genuinely wanted to help James, she was struggling to deal with her

own problems right now.

After hearing that, James asked, “Is the Dark Keep powerful?”

“How do I put this?” Laelia thought for a moment and said, “The Master of the Dark Keep is one of the

most powerful individuals in the Land of Tabal. If the elder of my family had not died, they could

probably compete with him somewhat. However, they had already passed away thirty years ago.

Currently, there aren’t any cultivators in my family who could take on the Master of the Dark Keep.”

“Just tell me what rank the Master of the Dark Keep’s cultivation base is.” James knew that if he

wanted to have access to enough food, he had no choice but to help the Tabal Empire get through this

difficult time.

“They are already an Immortal Ascension.”

Laelia had a solemn expression. She aspired to be of such rank. The only thing she could hope for was

that the Master of the Dark Keep was not among those who traveled to the capital. Otherwise, the

Targwyn family was doomed.

After learning the Master of the Dark Keep’s strength, James gave a faint smile and said, ” That’s easy.

Alright. Let’s make a deal.”

“Hm?” Laelia looked at James, confused.

James said with a smile, “I’ll help your family get through this plight and destroy the Dark Keep. After

that, you’ll provide me with enough food and let me return to Earth with them. What do you think?”

“Really?”

Laelia seemed thrilled as she looked at James.

Grains were widely available in the Tabal Empire. Furthermore, they were not just any typical grain;

they were spiritual grains, which had been specially planted.

After her initial excitement, Laelia calmed down and asked, “The Master of the Dark Keep has reached

the Immortal Ascension rank. You… Can you really destroy them?”

“Of course.” James was confident in himself. He could even kill Magnus who was at the Third Stair of

Immortal Ascension. So, he would have no trouble dealing with a cultivator who had just attained the

Immortal Ascension rank.

“Alright. I accept.”

Laelia stood up with excitement and said, “There’s no time to waste. Let’s go right now.”

She was worried that something had gone wrong in the capital, and about something happening to her

family. She wanted to rush back to the capital immediately.

James quickly scanned his surroundings and said, “Is there really any rush? We can still make it even if

we set out after daybreak.”

Laelia was very worried about her family, but James had said they would leave after daybreak, so she

did not say anything. Instead, she sat down by the bonfire.

For the time being, the issue with the food supply was settled. James felt a great sense of relief. Right

now, the Targwyn family’s treasure had piqued his interest.
