The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 96 The Mother of Face's Answer

From Misu's perspective, after Kahn suddenly said some inexplicable things, he went to the lakeside, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate, which seemed a bit puzzling, leaving people wondering what he was trying to do.

After a while, Kahn opened his eyes and smiled:

"They're here."

What's here?

Before Misu could even utter the question, the scene before her eyes provided the answer in the next second—

As Kahn finished speaking, a mysterious change began to occur throughout the forest.

Numerous face-like patterns appeared in their field of vision, covering trees, grass, and various animals such as butterflies and bats.

These faces are abstract yet vivid, as if they were the faces of some living being. The scene looks rather strange yet inexplicably sacred, bringing a sense of peace to the heart.

Misu is no stranger to this.

She had witnessed this strange sight five times before; it was a sign of the coming of the Mother of Faces. But then, a new change appeared before her eyes, one she had never seen before.

A huge wolf spirit appeared in their field of vision. After it appeared, it sat by the lake and stared at them quietly, without bowing its head to drink water as recorded in the literature.

Immediately afterwards, masks with various expressions floated on the lake like spirits, and soon these masks covered the entire lake surface.

The lake water began to surge, and suddenly, a column of water rose from the center of the lake, eventually transforming into a tall and majestic figure that appeared before them.

She said, "I am the Mother of the Face."

With shock and excitement, Misu bowed deeply with utmost respect.

"Thank you for coming into our lives, great Mother of the Face."

Like other deities in the spirit world, the Mother of Faces possesses an unusual appearance.

Her body was over ten meters tall, with her lower body connected to the lake water, while her upper body looked like it was woven from dense vines, and various spiritual masks with different expressions floated around her.

She has three faces, but the eyes of all three faces are covered by vines, making her look mysterious. However, even just looking at the lower half of her face, one can see her unique feminine beauty.

The Mother of Face looked at Kahn by the lake and spoke in a calm and dignified voice:

"I traverse my forest every season, never stopping on the path the wolf has not chosen for me, but now I make an exception for you, young spirit master."

Upon hearing this, Kahn bowed respectfully again and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for forgiving my offense, Mother of the Generous Face."

The Mother of Face nodded, seemingly satisfied with Kahn's attitude, and continued:

"As expected, you are the most polite and comfortable to communicate with, unlike other humans."

Your Spirit Masters never ask us for help for your own sake, but for the sake of your people. Such noble qualities are worthy of praise, which is why I am willing to make an exception.

Young spirit master, have you come to help others?

Kahn felt a pang of shame, realizing he wasn't that noble. Fortunately, he had genuinely come to help others this time, so he could maintain some confidence in the face of this issue.

So he calmly replied:

"Yes, I'm seeking your help to get some information for my friend."

Misu also chimed in from the side:

"Great Mother of the Face, I came to heal my brother."

Just then, Kahn's eyes twitched; he suddenly noticed a hint of anger in the Mother of Faces.

Deities are essentially the embodiment of spirit. Humans with physical bodies can hide their emotions in their hearts, while the emotions of deities are reflected in their own spirit.

Through cultivation, spirit masters can perceive subtle changes and respond better when communicating with deities.

Kahn's heart sank; he immediately sensed that something might be wrong.

Sure enough, the Mother of Face said:

"Each quarter, I grant only one human a request; this is an unchangeable rule."

Only one request?

Kahn suddenly felt a little embarrassed and looked towards Misu.

Misu was equally astonished, but eventually seemed to understand something, sighed, and said with a wry smile:

"Kahn, go ahead. You were the one who summoned the Mother of Face anyway; it has nothing to do with us. We'll just wait until next quarter."

Kahn breathed a sigh of relief. He certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity, but if Misu was also unwilling to give up, the situation would become rather ugly.

However, Kahn felt a little embarrassed that Misu had been disappointed.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the documents he had consulted with Azura, some of which contained interesting clues that gave him an idea.

"Great Mother of Faces, we will not break the rules, but please take a look at her brother's face first; I think you might be interested."

As Kahn spoke, he gestured for Misu to remove the mask from her brother's face. Although Misu was puzzled, she obediently did so out of trust in Kahn.

When the mask was removed, Rafa's face was astonishing. His face was completely blank, without any features; he was a true faceless man.

"Rafa was attacked by an evil god who stole his face and turned him into this."

The Mother of the Face was initially somewhat impatient with Kahn's request, but after Rafa's face was revealed, her attention was indeed diverted to Rafa.

After observing carefully, she suddenly said:

"The evil god you're talking about must be my son."

"Your son?!"

The information revealed by the Mother of Face shocked everyone. Although Kahn had learned of some connection between the two through reading documents, he never expected that they were mother and son.

As the Mother of Face covered Rafa's face with her hand, she said:

"He's been distancing himself from me since the beginning of time, and I haven't seen him in a long time. But I'm very familiar with this method."

As a soft light shone from the Mother of Faces' palm, Rafa began to emit some soft whimpering sounds. Misu watched with some concern until the Mother of Faces removed her palm, revealing a normal male face to them.

"elder sister."

Rafa smiled and called out to Misu, and the word "sister" brought tears to Misu's eyes. The two embraced and wept with joy.

The Mother of Face turned to Kahn and said:

"So, clever spirit master, what is your request?"

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Kahn smiled with relief, then bowed again and said:

"Thank you, Mother of the Face."

"I am searching for the Queen Consort of the Fire Kingdom, a woman named Ershu. I would like to ask you for some clues about her."

The Mother of the Face did not disappoint him; she said:

"Ershu, I remember that name."

"She had a beautiful face, yet she still asked me to give her a new one, which surprised the gods. So I gave her an ordinary face. She accepted it."

The Mother of Faces displayed Ershu's original face on her hands, and then displayed an ordinary face, which was the new face she had given Ershu.

However, Kahn was shocked by this.

Because he was no stranger to that ordinary face—

"Noreco!?"

"Noreco is Ershu?!"
