As the twins’ group cultivated, Kentucky asked Xyrath sothing inside the Dinsional Realm. ’Right, that conversation about helping Laiana with her tentacles. You ntioned sothing about Soltrex? Who is Soltrex? Why would he have patience for that job?’
Xyrath couldn’t help but think of the past. ’Soltrex is one of the Primordial Beasts. Soltrex, the mory Maw. He is an Archive Devourer.’
’Archive Devourer?’ The twins’ group got interested. ’Is it a race? Maybe so kind of artificial intelligence?’
’No,’ Xyrath shook his head. ’He is definitely a demon beast, kind of a Manta Ray made of white mist. He has incredible knowledge. Or, to be more specific, an astonishing capability of retaining knowledge. That guy would definitely have the patience to do almost anything, including wasting his ti untangling Laiana’s Tentacles. Well, he is sowhat antisocial, so you won’t find much information about him.’
Kentucky nodded. ’I see... as a primordial beast, he also has so kind of weird cultivation thod, right?’
’What do you an?’ Xyrath asked back.
’I an, Laiana cultivates bloodline, you cultivate ti, so I thought every Primordial Beast had so specific cultivation thod,’ Kentucky answered.
’Oh, that’s not far from the truth,’ Xyrath understood. ’There are indeed so peculiar cultivation thods between us. Soltrex is not that uncommon, though. He uses Starlight Energy, just like you bunch.’
’Is that so?’ Kentucky was happy to hear about it.
However, Rean and Roan looked at each other. White Mist? Starlight Energy? Retention of Knowledge?
Their minds went straight back to the Mist Library back in the F-ranked universes. Back then, they used the Mist Library to find more about the Great Void Shifter and other things. Rean even got the Mist Library Spirit angry with him.
’Is it a coincidence?’ Rean asked Roan on his side, using their soul connection so only the two of them could hear it.
Roan pondered a bit. ’There are thousands of Universes in the Werdlem Empire, so it is not hard to imagine so of them have places called Mist Libraries... that use starlight energy... that retain incredible amounts of knowledge... with antisocial spirits...’ Roan got less and less confident the more he thought about it.
But then, their attention turned to the Control Orb inside the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm.
For so reason, Sister Orb felt their gaze. [Wh-What? What are you looking at? I didn’t do anything!]
’Not you, idiot!’ Roan’s cursed.
He wasn’t lying. He wasn’t looking at Sister Orb. Well, he was... But it wasn’t because of Sister Orb. Instead...
’Destiny Attracion...’
Rean and Roan thought at the sa ti. Was it truly just a coincidence? That was very, very hard to believe if you considered their system’s bullshit attraction ability.
But then, Rean and Roan’s expressions turned blank, the sa thought in both their minds as they looked at each other.
’Did you hear anything?’
’? I heard nothing.’
’What a coincidence, I didn’t hear anything either.’
’That’s good then.’
’Yes, that’s good then.’
Kentucky noticed the twins’ change and grew curious. ’What happened to you two? Is sothing wrong with this Soltrex?’
’Soltrex?’ Rean looked back at him, a smile on his face. ’Who is Soltrex? I don’t know any Soltrex.’
Roan agreed, nodding vigorously. ’The Werdlem Empire is enormous. Just how many Soltrexes are out there? No doubt countless of them. Shouldn’t be that rare of a na.’
’Is... Is that so?’ Kentucky didn’t believe the two that easily. But then... "Ah! Wait! Could it be the Mist Libr-"
*Zush, zush!*
*Mmmgmmgmhmmm...*
Rean and Roan imdiately pounced forward, closing the Minokawa’s beak. "It cannot be! It will never be! You heard nothing! You rembered nothing! Keep your fucking beak closed!"
Unfortunately...
*Pin!*
[As the hosts know, there are ninety-nine Primordial Beasts, of which twelve are imprisoned inside the Werdlem Empire.]
Rean and Roan glared at Kentucky. If looks could kill...
"W-What? That’s not my fault, okay!"
That was 100% his fault! Why did he have to ask Xyrath about this Soltrex or whatever?! He couldn’t possibly be more at fault than now!
Well, the system obviously didn’t give a damn about the twins’ feelings.
[One of them is known as Soltrex, the mory Maw. He is an Archive Devourer, a type of highly knowledgeable existence. The very conception of the Werdlem Empire’s Bubble was only possible due to his wisdom. Unfortunately, just like the other twelve Primordial Beasts, Soltrex has been imprisoned in the Werdlem Empire’s Bubble.]
[Primordial Beasts Quest Update: Find and release Soltrex from his confinent.]
[Reward: 15000 Celestial Points.]
Finishing hearing the whole new quest update, Rean and Roan glared at Kentucky again. "Tch!"
Kentucky pretended he didn’t notice it at all. ’S-So, senior Xyrath, how’s the weather in the Dinsional Realm? Is it good?’
Xyrath, obviously unable to hear the system, was puzzled by all those reactions. ’Weather...?’ He looked around. Other than the artificial light that illuminated a few areas, the rest of the Dinsional Realm was pitch black. There was no such thing as a sun anymore, after all. ’Are you okay?’
Kentucky quickly nodded. ’I’m fine, I’m fine. By the way, let’s change the topic.’
While Kentucky talked to Xyrath, the twins discussed the new update of the quest. ’Sigh... I guess there was no helping it. Kentucky was there with us, so he would make that connection sooner or later. Celis would eventually notice it too.’
Roan agreed with him. ’Whatever. Just like before, there is no ti limit or failure conditions. We can simply pretend it doesn’t exist.’
’Still, 15000 Celestial Points is a huge reward...’ Rean would be lying if he said he wasn’t interested in it.
’What? Do you want to go back to the Mist Library?’ Roan looked at him. ’First of all, do we even need those points? The answer is no, we don’t. Sure, we could use them to buy a few more upgrades, but it is not absolutely necessary.’
’I can’t help but wonder why the reward is so much higher than it is to help Xyrath,’ Rean was still curious.
Roan, however, felt even less interested. ’Bigger reward ans bigger risks. Forget that. Let’s focus on earning the Celestial Points from Xyrath first.’
Rean could only nod. They wouldn’t leave this place anyti soon anyway.
