Catching up with Crimson Dagger and learning about the rest of his friends sure brought Kent so form of happiness he never expected.
Learning how so of them are faring put him at ease. Of course, so of them may have ventured into uncharted territories over the past million years, but knowing they are alive put him at ease.
At least they are alive and will one day reunite with them, as he did with Crimson Dagger.
But hearing the one called Black Widow had gone missing and possibly ventured into a calamity zone left him wondering just why she would do sothing like that.
There are about 7 calamity zones in the universe. Legend has it that they existed long before the primordial era fell, so there is a good chance they were ford at the dawn of ti.
Over the several eras that have passed, no one can boldly say they have ventured into a Calamity Zone and explored everything it contains. Many tried, and many didn't return, not because they were incapable. Most legendary warriors tried to uncover the secret of these calamity zones, but were not heard from again.
So, for a friend of his to venture into such a harrowing place left him wondering why she made such a decision, and even worse, why she didn't tell any of her friends and teammates.
The Midnight Shadows were ford on the idea of how a family should be. So she should at least have made them aware she planned to do sothing this reckless.
"Knowing the kind of person she is, I am sure she wouldn't waste her ti chasing after soone in the high world," Kent suddenly said. "So this can only an she had indeed ventured into the Naless Temple and left the mark for you to find since she knew you would have prohibited her from entering."
"I arrived at the sa conclusion. However, why would the Cult of Wisdom hide her whereabouts?"
"That is a bit strange indeed. It is like they are hiding sothing."
"They are always hiding sothing. However, to the rest of the Cult of Wisdom, I am soone important to the Black Widow. They respect her because of her intelligence. So if they hold her in such a high regard, what then is preventing them from telling where she is?"
Kent thought for a mont, but nothing ca to mind.
He also found it strange that such a person would go on a mission without her own people knowing. It just doesn't make sense, not when everything is considered.
To the Cult of Wisdom, Black Widow is Scholar Nania. She rose through the ranks, becoming a Supre Scholar, sothing only a few had achieved, so there is just no way they wouldn't keep track of such a person.
The Cult of Wisdom knows sothing about everything. So there is just no way they wouldn't know where Scholar Nania had gone.
"You ntioned they are looking for a gem they discovered in a high world, right?" Kent asked, and Crimson Dagger nodded.
"Is there a chance this person is nad Jest?"
"How do you know that?"
"Let's just say I accidentally passed a test they put out and beca an accidental mber." Kent smiled weakly. "I initially wanted to ignore them, but from what I have discovered these last few days, it seems I must go to them."
Crimson Dagger stared quietly at Kent for a few monts before a smile appeared on his face. "Looks like you ca back with more mysteries, Jaqen."
He paused for a mont and then asked, "Does this have sothing to do with your suspicion that you had lived other lives before the Faceless Assassin?"
"Yes. But I can't tell you, Titus. You know, Karma and all."
"I understand."
"Good. Of course, one day you will know more, but for now, we have to find Black Widow's whereabouts."
"Since the Cult of Wisdom is saying nothing, we can only turn to the next option, which is for you to beco a mber and find out from within their ranks."
"How do I go about that, then? I already told you I will embark on a dangerous mission soon, so I need to prepare."
"I learned they will be opening the 12 Knowledge Seals five years from now. You can make your na known any day, but when the ti cos, you must place in the top three to beco a mber, a respected mber.
You must also beco an Immortal before then, so you have to work hard to ascend to the rank of at least a Root Immortal in the next five years."
"I can manage that."
In five years, he would be back from Elina's galaxy and be ready to ascend. The only way to get information from the Cult of Wisdom is to beco a respected mber.
Kent had not yet made any advances or had any ambition to beco a mber. However, when the issue with the Dark Queen surfaced, he knew he had to join them.
This would give him access to so hidden knowledge not available to just anyone. From what he had learned about the Cult of Wisdom, even the Universe Council usually cos to them for information.
So they know a lot, and he wants his hands on all of it.
"Another thing, have you heard of a Unique Planet called Brymrr?"
His next destination is the ho of the Lord Genesis, which is Planet Brymrr. It was where he grew up and started walking the path of the sword.
So he plans on returning ho after being away for billions of years.
"Planet Brymrr is or was once the ho world of a legendary swordsman who lived during the Divine Era. From what I learned over the years, a Sword Supre rules over it now.
Recently, word even started to spread that she has awakened and returned ho after being away for billions of years."
Kent furrowed his brow. "This Sword Supre, do you happen to know her na?"
"Unfortunately, no. But I know she is a dangerous person and the only god in the universe to have attained the rank of a Sword Supre without actually reaching the rank of a Supre.
There are so other rumours about her, but most are just people trying to make her appear more mysterious."
Crimson Dagger paused and gave Kent a hard look. "Don't tell you plan on going there."
Kent laughed. "What, you think I am that crazy? I just want to have a look and perhaps seek out a friend of mine or maybe an enemy from the past. Regardless, I have to go there, so if you have sothing else to say, now is the best ti."
"Unbelievable."
In the end, Crimson Dagger started telling him all the dangers of a Unique world, specifically, the dangers of Planet Brymrr.
He offered to accompany him, but Kent said no. His reason is simple. If he were to appear in such a place with a Supre as his bodyguard, he would draw too much attention.
So he will go alone. If there is a danger that he can't wiggle his way out of, Vexthra will be on call to co to his aid.
He could have decided to wait and first go to Elina's galaxy before seeking out Inaya. However, knowing the kind of danger waiting for him, he knew he had to use this journey to prepare for what awaited him at the Star Gateway.
