2953 Serious Question
Roan heard that and comnted through their connection. 'That's all we need. I know how to convince a Dragon Related Demon Beast to sell so blood. In the worst case scenario, we cna go to the black market. I refuse to believe Dragon Blood isn't being sold there.'
Rean nodded and decided to change his wish. 'So, what should I ask instead?'
Roan thought about it for a mont. They already know how to get the next materials, so they don't need to ask for anything in that regard. What everyone in this country considered a lifeti opportunity turned out to be sothing quite useless for Rean and Roan. It wasn't that they didn't have more wish, but that a small place like this wouldn't have what they really need, like Divine Origin Energy Cores, for example.
Alia noticed Rean's silence and urged him. "Little boy, we can't stand here all day. If you don't decide on another wish soon, I will take that you don't have any."
'Maybe... Rank Five Spiritual Stones? In the end, all we lack to cultivate faster is higher concentrations of Spiritual Energy.' Rean ntioned one of the most obvious alternatives.
Roan didn't find it a bad idea, though. 'Yes, just go for it.'
Rean nodded and quickly spoke his wish. "Alright, then I want Rank Five Spirit Stones, as many as this wish is able to provide ."
Alia and the other experts around found that wish quite disappointing. Sure, Rank Five Spiritual Stones were good. However, there were bound to be much better things to ask for, no?
Well, Alia was satisfied it was sothing that easy to accomplish. "Then it shall be done. Karev, see that this boy gets Rank Five Spiritual Stones. Let see... A thousand should be enough for soone at his level. It will take many years for him to consu it."
Rean faintly smiled as he thought. 'Many years? Hold my beer!' Too bad he couldn't really speak that aloud.
With that, the ceremony reached its end, and the prizes were distributed. Karev passed Rean a Spatial Ring with exactly one thousand Rank Five Spiritual Stones. For those in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, that could indeed be called a fortune. However, for Transition Realm experts like the leaders of the Fourteen Regions, that wasn't much.
Later that day, when the various groups began to disperse, Karev invited Roan over, bringing him to the Royal Family database. Of course, the only thing available there for Roan to check was things related to Alchemy. Everything else was blocked.
Roan didn't mind and poured his attention into the herbs. 'Sure enough, the Royal Family's database has over ten tis more herbs cataloged than the database back in the Gondel Clan,' Roan comnted.
'Will you find the Salite Root there?' Rean asked back, making his way out of the palace. Since that was Roan's prize, he wasn't allowed to stay with him.
'We will see...' Roan answered and continued to look for it. Because the herbs had different nas in this Universe, Roan saw himself obligated to look at them one by one. The only good thing was that he could filter his search with so specific terms and effects. Nonetheless, he still had thousands of different herbs to go through.
It wasn't before three hours later that Roan's eyes lit up. 'There it is!' He was already growing concerned since he had gone through most of the results. Fortunately, he found what he needed near the end. 'In this place, it is called Solol Root. It only grows in the extre north of the planet and in very specific conditions. The easiest way to acquire is in the Drumfel Ice Caves, a Demon Beast territory.'
Rean was happy to just know it existed on this planet. 'Great! But let's forget these Drumfel Ice Caves you ntioned. Instead, check if there isn't any place where we can buy it directly. It will save us ti than have to look for it ourselves.'
Roan was already doing exactly that. 'Hum... at least it doesn't seem to be any for sale in this country's network.'
'Hum... that makes sense. This is a country near the equator, so items from the extre north would hardly make their way here,' Rean comnted, not feeling surprised at all.
Roan then closed the terminal he was using and stretched his back. 'It matters little. Once we go to the north, we will pass by other countries. Should the Salol Roots be on sale, we can attempt to buy or maybe even steal it directly.'
'So be it, but let's try to pay like the good guys we are, shall we?' Rean obviously didn't like the 'steal' part.
Roan snorted but didn't say anything. Following that, he approached one of the palace workers, who was observing him. "I finished my research. We can leave now."
However, the worker shook his head. "First, there is soone who would like to talk to you. Would you mind following ?"
Roan was puzzled but nodded in the end. It shouldn't be anything important or bad. If it was, there would be no need to wait for him to finish his research in the terminal. They could have simply tried to force him to co directly.
Rean sat in a restaurant and asked for a few dishes while he watched the events happening to Roan through their connection. 'Do you think soone saw through us?'
'If they had, I doubt they would have let us finish the contest,' Roan spoke his thoughts. 'Besides, would they have allowed you to leave?'
Rean had to agree. 'Well, that's true.'
The worker didn't take long to bring Roan to a separate room from the main palace. There, soone was already waiting for him. Finally, the worker left Roan and the new guy alone.
Roan looked at the man. "Karev, right? The guy that always stayed by the queen's side."
Karev looked back at Roan. "That would be . I asked you to co because I have sothing to ask." His expression turned serious. "You aren't soone from this planet, are you?"
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welco. ;)
