Ery's journey to his destination spanned over three days, during which he had to go through many space portals. Throughout the way, apart from imrsing himself back to his [mory Puzzle], he also inquired about the situation of the planet he was going to visit in detail.
"If we are lucky, we can get in and out of the planet in just a few days and bring ho the item we need." said Annara, making Ery raise his eyebrows at the foreboding words.
The item she ant was none other than the [Ancient Wolf Blood], which was the blood that originated from a pure Rank 9 Wolf God that was at least five thousand years old. An incomparably precious item.
It started with a rumor about its discovery in an ancient clan tomb, which made its way to Silvermane Clan, one of the biggest, if not the greatest, Wolf bloodline clans in the universe, had obtained it.
The quality of the blood was not widely publicized, but so sources said that just one drop would greatly help any Mythical Wolf bloodline gene on their breakthrough, and that it worked even more wonderfully for the Legendary bloodline.
"It is rumored that one drop is worth around five million spirit stones." Annara said, causing Ery's mouth to twitch at the ridiculous price. Taking a breath, Ery finally asked the most important question.
"Okay, so what's the plan?"
"The plan is to steal one of them!" She said in a serious tone, but as soon as she saw the similarly serious expression on Ery's face, she broke into giggles. Facing his confused gaze, she said, "I'm kidding! We of course wouldn't do sothing like that. We have co to buy it. The Queen had already given five million to pay for it."
Casting a skeptical glance, Ery said, "I'm sure it won't be that easy..."
"Good guess," said Annara with a grin. "You're right. The Alpha king, Marcus Silvermaine has declared that it will only be given to their loyal and most talented retainers, therefore they definitely won't sell it to us, especially a Serpent bloodline faction. However…"
The red-haired girl let out another fit of giggles. It seed that she had been holding out the surprise for this exact mont.
"Fortunately, we know soone who was very close to Alpha king, well you i an"
Ery suddenly started to worry as he waited for the na she ntioned.
"I have confird that the Patriarch of Corvin Clan is currently there, you do know him very well don't you?!"
Without giving Ery a chance to answer Annara continued to explain that the Corvin were one of the major supporters of the Alpha king. She was hoping that a little reunion between Ery and the patriarch of the wolf clan would help obtain that item without problem.
"This is a good plan, isn't it?" She said with a grin.
Hearing those words, Ery paused montarily before letting out a sigh that confused the red-haired girl. The reason for his reaction was that Annara did not know the real relationship between them.
It would indeed be a reunion, but not in the way Annara had expected.
It would be one that ended with either him or the patriarch dropped dead on the floor.
Noticing the unusual reaction, Annara's expression imdiately changed as she sensed sothing was wrong. "What is it that I missed?"
Ery had no plans to explain every detail of his grudge to Annara. To her question, he only answered enough to tell her that the patriarch wasn't soone to be trusted. In fact, now that he knew that the Corvin clan was around, he had no intention of having his identity discovered by the patriarch or anyone else on that planet.
"How bad is it?" said Annara "Can't you just pretend to cooperate, just until we got the item… you know, for Silva's sake."please visit
Calming the turbulent emotions within him, Ery replied with a stern tone, "I'm telling you… it's not possible. If you want this to work, we must find another way."
"Huh... it's that bad huh..?"
Ery had no doubt that the patriarch would do whatever he could to get his hands on him, and there was no way he would allow the sa mistake to be repeated.
Reminded of that painful mory, Ery was glad that his old body was destroyed. Coupled with the regression he had experienced, he was sure that not even a shred of Lucius' influence still remained in him.
"Do you not have a backup plan prepared?" Ery asked.
At his question, Annara shrugged her shoulders saying, "I don't have one that doesn't include revealing your famous identity to the wolf clans. Oh well, it seems I need to ask my sources again, which ans we still need to get down there."
Before the girl could leave to check, Ery grabbed her arm and said sternly, "Tell that you are with in this. Otherwise, just drop here and I will find my own way."
Ery needed to make sure Annara supported his decision. With the great risk he faced just by entering the city, he didn't want her to secretly do sothing else behind his back.
"Alright.. Alright, I am with you. Satisfied?"
Annara went back to the interface on the ship panel and began accessing it. A mont later, she said, "Fortunately, Ouroboros had prepared another identity for you."
[Evan Valerious]
[Age: 25]
"What kind of na is this?" Ery complained.
The background of his fake identity is that of an orphan of mixed wolf blood who grew up in a middle realm planet, a mber of a certain powerful Neutral faction. Simply put, it was an identity that would allow him to travel relatively safe between human and elven territory.
Of course, the said neutral faction was an existing one that was secretly a close ally to Ouroboros.
For Annara, being a bat bloodline, a known rival of the Wolf bloodline, she would pose as his servant to avoid any trouble.
"Don't get used to it… only until this mission is over!"Annara sneered.
As he scrutinized his new identity, Ery also began to change his appearance with his Wolf bloodline's innate ability [Shapeshifting]. just a few features here and there, just enough to obscure his true identity.
"That's a really convenient skill to have," comnted Annara looking at him.
When they drew closer to the said planet, Ery felt both anxious and excited seeing a planet with a combination of green and blue outside the window. To think that he would be able to see his master's killer so soon.
