3028 Extra Help
As they continued forward, they noticed several bones, so very old, others quite new. There was one thing similar to them. They all seed to be fish bones similar to Little Fisha's physic. "So that's where everyone ended up at..." Little Fisha couldn't help but comnt.
Rean nodded. "Globian didn't hide the fact he tried to take Foliana's body and that he has been stuck here for a long ti. I'm pretty sure these are the results of his attempts to take the body of your Swordhorn Fish Race. Of course, he was a human while they were Demon Beasts. Failure was pretty much guaranteed. Not to ntion he didn't have that bloodline needle to make the bridge between his soul and the your race."
After a few minutes, the cave changed shape, becoming a corridor that went upwards. And then, a few hundred ters above, they left the Water of the Spiritual Pond. There was a bag of air in the room that prevented the water from coming inside. Rean and Foliana ca out, and then Little Fisha. As a Stage Six Demon Beast, Little Fisha obviously could fly, although that was the first ti she ever attempted, so she looked quite clumsy while floating in midair. "This feels so weird..."
Rean shrugged. "Not as weird as seeing a swordfish flying, but who am I to judge?"
Just in front, there was an altar with a palm mark on it. Right below, there was another slot similar to the one from the formation. Before leaving the area where Globian's Spiritual Sense and alternate Soul died, Foliana collected her Family dallion again. Seems like that was the right choice.
Foliana slotted the dallion into the opening, which quickly made the altar co to life, seeming to be connected to the door behind. The palm mark also shined with a faint red light. "Should I?"
Rean didn't mind. "Sure. Why not? Unless you don't want the inheritance. If that's the case, I'll open this inheritance myself and take a look."
Foliana quickly shook her head. She had no doubt Rean could truly open the inheritance on his own. That was actually the truth. There was a formation protecting the place, although it was very old. It was quite on par with the Formations back in Lisan before Rean introduced the Circuitry Formations. And, a simple Mortal World Formation was easy for Sister Orb to take care of. Last but not least, Rean could use Roan's Dark Elent and corrode the entrance. Regardless of which mortal world material it was made, it wouldn't resist Roan's purest Dark Elent properties. Rean didn't do that, though. He wanted Foliana to follow the procedures left behind by her ancestors while he would just watch.
Foliana put her hand on the altar, and for a mont, she felt like the altar connected to her own blood. She quickly pulled her hand off and noticed several pricks that were used to draw so of her blood. *Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack...*
The sound of several chanisms echoed in the room as the door opened behind the altar. Sister Orb also confird the formation protecting the area deactivated on its own. It obviously recognized Foliana as a descendant of the Nasfivil Family and gave her full access.
Inside, there were several more rooms separated by specific roles. There was a room called Alchemy Pills and Herbs. Another one was called Weapons. Then Cultivation Techniques Repository, Talismans, Treasures, etc...
Foliana couldn't help but grow even more excited. However, she didn't move ahead first. Instead, she looked at Rean. "Se- I an, Rean. You should be the first one to look and take whatever you want. I would have never made it to this place without you. Even if I did, I wouldn't be myself anymore."
Rean patted the girl's head again. "What are you talking about? I told you, didn't I? I owed you one for the help you gave and my brother. Just go ahead and have fun. If there is sothing I want, I will let you know and will definitely pay the right price for it."
Foliana didn't need to hear that twice. The first place she entered was the Alchemy Room, which was filled with many bottles of pills and other materials related to Alchemy. "Not too bad," Rean followed behind. "The bottles are all specially made to prevent the Spiritual Properties of the pills from being lost. The pills should still be usable even though they had been here for this long."
At the sa ti, Rean asked Roan through their connection. 'Anything here that interests you? I can buy from her if that's the case for you to take a look.'
'A lot of trash,' Roan answered without thinking twice. The pills there were made before the Werdlem Empire technology was introduced, so they are truly very similar to the pills you would find in a mortal world of Lisan Universe. Compared to the pills Roan can concoct, they simply weren't worth ntioning. 'Still, there seems to be a herb garden. Take a look there.'
Foliana read the descriptions of the pills and was surprised by so of the effects. "So many... There are even pills to help cultivate faster. I wonder how much it would be worth outside."
Rean just nodded and opened another door in that sa room. On the back, a lush and brightly illuminated room appeared. It was completely filled with herbs that seed to be cared for by so puppet workers. It was quite well maintained.
Roan checked all of that through Rean's connection until his eyes landed on a red mushroom on the back of the herb garden. 'Not completely useless. That that mushroom for .'
'What is it?' Rean asked.
'Red Star Mushroom,' Roan explained. 'It can be used in a pretty strong Blood Reforming Pill. To make things simple, it can directly affect one's talent.'
Rean got confused. 'What's the use of this thing for us? We aren't really bound by such things as talent.'
'Maybe we aren't, but the girl behind you definitely is, isn't she?' Roan asked as if stating the obvious.
Rean was taken aback. 'You want to help her?'
'I hate owing favors,' Roan spoke. 'You paid your part by helping her reach the inheritance. I need to pay my part as well. Just take it already. I'll concoct and pass to you.'
Rean smiled. 'If you say so.'
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welco. ;)
