"Damn it! Is he really a descendant of the Rain Clan?" Idan and Arabel couldn't believe such an amazing coincidence. This discovery amazed them even more than the sudden change in Miliсa's attitude towards them.
"I asked, how did you know about this?" — Miliсa repeated her question.
"Miss Miliсa, you, like no one else, should understand that everyone has their own secrets. Your question concerns one of our secrets that we cannot reveal to you. You have to understand us!" said Idan, panting under the pressure.
They didn't want to reveal the System, but they could only hint that they had their own source of information. No one likes it when others pry into their secrets. They hoped that such an explanation would suit the Milica. If they were going to cooperate, then each of them had to respect each other.
After hearing Idan's answer, Miliсa, although she was not satisfied, relaxed the pressure, and a smile appeared on her face again, as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Miliсa, rest assured, we have nothing against Nemo or the so-called descendant of the Rain Clan. To be honest, we don't even know anything about the Rain Clan," Arabel said. Inwardly, she chided Idan for asking this question without thinking about the possible consequences.
Idan apologized and promised that from now on he would carefully weigh his actions and ask Arabel's opinion before doing anything.
"So, he's really a descendant of the Rain Clan?" Idan asked curiously, wanting to make sure of this. If Miliсa reacted so emotionally, then she probably knows sothing that they don't know about.
"I can't say that with complete certainty. Even Limbo doesn't know where he's from. However, I have my suspicions based on the nature of his injury. I can roughly imagine what kind of source and type of magic could cause such damage. Believe , if a similar spell had hit or anyone else in this room, we would not have survived. I only know of a few races that could survive this without even awakening their bloodline," Miliсa replied, voicing her doubts.
After hearing Miliсa's answer, Idan and Arabel were puzzled. If she wasn't sure of her words, then why did she react so emotionally to their question? Why not just deny or say outright what she just said?
"Don't get wrong. I wasn't reacting to the fact that you suspected Nemo of being from the Rain Clan. I'm worried that you have information about the Rain Clan. Nowadays, this is a taboo topic, and all references to its existence have been erased. The fact that you, guests from another world, know about the Rain Clan has worried ," Miliсa explained the reason for her reaction. She could tell what they were thinking just by looking at them.
"So that's the thing! Let explain, Miss Miliсa. We have no idea who or what the Rain Clan is. We only know its na," Arabel said.
Idan and Arabel really only knew the na and nothing else.
Observing the confusion and other signs in the couple's behavior, Miliсa beca convinced that they were not lying and really only knew the na of the Rain Clan.
"It's fine if that's the case. I advise you not to ntion or tell anyone about the Rain Clan, unless, of course, you want to attract attention to yourself and create problems," said Miliсa.
Idan and Arabel rembered her words and decided that the na of the Rain Clan would beco a na for them that could not be pronounced. At that mont, they rembered an old movie where the so-called wizards also talked about a villain "whose na cannot be nad.
"Okay, we'll rember that. And thanks for the advice." Idan and Arabel replied at the sa ti. However, they were curious to know more about this Clan.
"Forget about it for now. Knowing about this will not help you and us find a way out of Limbo," said Miliсa, seeing how the couple restrained the urge to ask a question. She wouldn't be so smart if she didn't understand what they were thinking.
"Let's make a deal. If you really find a way to leave Limbo, I'll tell you and Nemo about the Rain Clan. Currently, Nemo has no idea about the Clan, let alone that he considers himself human. However, no matter what, he is not a human, but a representative of a higher race, it's just that his bloodline has not awakened, and a seal has been placed on him, blocking it. Because of this, he can't activate his abilities."
Idan and Arabel imdiately agreed to Miliсa's suggestion. They couldn't miss the chance to get additional information that related to their task.
Then they discussed the terms of cooperation. Miliсa promised to help them and share the information she had learned over the years in her search for a way out of Limbo, as well as her assumptions.
Miliсa also told the couple about her condition and why she couldn't leave the city.
The couple was amazed that Miliсa couldn't leave the city. In truth, this place was a prison for Miliсa, but at the sa ti the safest for the couple, because they were under her supervision and protection within the city.
Miliсa did not miss the opportunity to warn the couple about the locals and about Hector. She briefly explained the rules they had to follow in the city. Limbo already knew about their origins, and Miliсa was sure that it would use the locals to manipulate outsiders and residents from other cities to try to get to them.
Miliсa did her best to convince the couple not to succumb to future provocations, whatever they might be. The couple listened to her attentively, and the more they listened, the more worried they beca.
They were currently safe under Miliсa's protection. However, once they leave the city, nurous dangers await them. They were well aware that they would not be able to resist them in their current state. It was necessary to beco stronger as soon as possible.
The only way to achieve this was through their System. Until now, they didn't fully understand how it functions.
The couple made a firm decision to first understand how the System works and figure out how to improve their level. Only then will they start thinking about finding a way out of Limbo.
