Chapter 710 Cap 708: Meeting An Acquaintance
I had been laying around in a pool all day when Lilian appeared talking to Vanessa.
“I don’t remember having anything like that in my house.” (Lilian)
“Why didn’t I, I just did it during my Spirit Runes training, I even heat the water to make myself more comfortable.” (I)
“But why make it so big? What happened to the garden?” (Lilian)
“The garden is floating there.” (I)
I point up to where a garden the same size as this pool was floating.
“Later I’ll leave everything as I found it, don’t worry.” (I)
“Aren’t you too carefree for someone who has survived so many assassination attempts?” (Vanessa)
“They were futile attempts, any low level poison would be useless against me, plus I’m taking Lyra’s disease resistance potions, the curse is also something that will hardly work.” (I) .
“I apologize, I feel ashamed of what is happening to the Holy Son, I should kill everyone…” (Lilian)
“I already said no, at least wait until we find the mastermind, luckily they’re dumb enough to think I haven’t noticed anything so far.” (I)
“My Father is right, I just hope to find something out soon, I really wanted to kill them before we left.” (Vanessa)
“I want to kill these ingrates now.” (Lilian)
“Just wait, everything’s been going great for us so far, a little rowdy but okay.” (I)
“We are leaving as soon as the Auction is over, preferably the next day.” (I)
“Carlos is preparing the Ship inside the Dungeon.” (Vanessa)
“No need, I’ve already arranged a transport for us.” (I)
“Kira has already returned the Floating Ship tickets you purchased.” (Vanessa)
“What? When did she do this?” (I)
“Do you really think we didn’t know about your plans? You made it very clear what you wanted to do when you arrived in this town.” (Vanessa)
“What’s the problem with wanting to fly through the sky to our destination in a quiet and calm way?” (I)
“Dad, nothing with you is ever smooth or calm, remember the ship trip to this continent?” (Vanessa)
“I have no control over the weather or the monsters, you can’t blame me for something like that.” (I)
“I’m not saying you did that, I’m just saying none of it would have happened if you hadn’t been there.” (Vanessa)
“Now you’re just being mean to me.” (I)
“If you want to blame someone, blame the Goddess or God of Luck for putting this curse on me.” (I)
“This is not a Curse, even though it often feels like one, your bad luck can only be blamed on you.” (Vanessa)
———–
After I left the pool and returned to Lilian’s garden to the same place, we went for a walk around the city, I advised us to go to a candy store, I still haven’t eaten many sweets in this world.
I usually keep an eye on my surroundings, but as in a city, there is a lot of information for my mind to stay focused at the same time continuously.
Over time I trained a lot alongside Ragnar and Sophia to control my Aura in order to only collect information I need, I’m talking about limiting my Aura to only react to certain key stimuli.
My Aura might be insanely strong for my current strength level, but that only makes controlling it more difficult, according to Sophia, the best time for you to train your Aura to the fullest is when you’ve just acquired the ability to sense Aura, that’s why doing this sooner builds a strong foundation to continue training control while Aura gets stronger.
Unfortunately in my case, my Aura became strong very, very, very fast due to the stupidity of continuing to acquire Aura skills or evolving, this made my base Aura control brute.
So far I can get my Aura to react only to Murderous Intent, Malice, and to known Auras.
I’m not able to do more than that for now, but it was enough to walk through the city without getting a headache from too much information.
Hence, I sensed a certain familiar Aura inside the candy store just in time to dodge when the Aura owner tried to throw herself at me.
I had to dodge 14 more times from her as she continually changed directions trying to grab me, I can’t tell if I’m glad she doesn’t mean anything or if I’m worried about what kind of intent those eyes are showing.
“< Path of Shadows >” (I)
I step into the shadow of my attacker stepping out into the shadow of her mate, a Priestess of Justice shaking her head helplessly at her friend.
“I’m surprised to see you on this continent, I’m happy for our reunion, Priestess Bianca.” (I)
“Good to see you too, sorry about Darcia.” (Bianca)
“Fine, at least she doesn’t have any hostile intentions.” (I)
“I have no hostility towards you, I just don’t trust someone who resorts to slaughter so quickly.” (Bianca)
“That wasn’t one of my best moments, but I get your point.” (I)
The one who was continuously trying to grab me with quick movements was Darcia, the great Warrior woman who shares similar tastes with Diana, as far as I remember she was supposed to be Human, but now she looks like a Dark Elf, even her Aura looks like that of a Dark Elf.
Bianca who was a Priestess of the God of Justice was also supposed to be Human but looked both in appearance and in Aura a White Elf.
I know they are hiding their races and I agree to do that in this continent where Humans are very hated, but at the same time, I am curious about the way they are doing to mask their Auras is amazing.
“Why do you keep running away, I just want a reunion hug.” (Darcia)
“Those eyes and the drool coming out of your mouth tell you very different information about your true intentions.” (I)
“Behave yourself, Darcia.” (Bianca)
“We’re not here to get the attention of these people on the streets.” (Bianca)
I look around noticing that some curious people stare but act like it’s normal, one of the things I’ve learned walking around this continent is that they are much more candid with what they feel, no matter how inappropriate it may be at times.
“How about we talk somewhere else while you keep your friend away from me?” (I)
“Fine, but I make no promises about stopping Darcia.” (Bianca)
———-
Me, Bianca, Darcia, Vanessa, Lilian, Nix in my Shadow, and invisible Hinata following me went to an upper class remainder where we paid for a secluded room.
We are taken to the second floor where I create a sound barrier over the appraising eyes of the Priestess of Justice, Bianca.
“I know you don’t trust me, but you don’t have to look at me like that, it’s just a sound barrier.” (I)
“Being too careful can be considered my weakness and strength.” (Bianca)
“Allan should be arriving by now.” (Bianca)
“In the meantime, could you tell me what Humans are doing on this continent?” (I)
“I’m sure you two already know that, so why are you on this continent.” (I)
“Someone from the Temple of Justice made the suggestion that Allan and we could learn a little more about Demons.” (Darcia)
“Even on our continent, Demons and Humans never got along to the point where discrimination between the two races persists to this day, but on our continent, the level of strength is too high for us to try to enter a Demon Realm.” (Darcia)
As she explains, she kept trying to get closer, but Bianca kept getting in the way.
“I had the idea to come to this continent where there are no humans to see how Demons live in their daily lives.” (Bianca)
“Actually it’s all normal, I don’t see much difference in the everyday life of Demons and Humans.” (I)
“The real difference is in the Demonic culture, but something necessary for them.” (I)
“We know that, but knowing isn’t the same as seeing.” (Bianca)
“Bianca and Allan may not know it, but even when someone is teaching about Demons in our Nation, they always have a prejudiced tone and tend to demonstrate the errors of their culture.” (Darcia)
“I always thought of Demons as perverts from what I’ve been told.” (Darcia)
“But after getting here, I finally realized that they have their own rules and laws.” (Darcia)
One thing I also noticed was that Demons are very open to their sexuality to the point that single friends sleep with each other, more than once I realized that alleys in cities aren’t just places where bad guys hang out.
“Whoever taught me about Demons had no prejudice against them, but still learning from books is very different from seeing for myself.” (Bianca)
“I may not agree with everything I see, but I appreciate how Demons don’t judge by appearance and how they control their desires by channeling them into positive things.” (Bianca)
“I can understand why Demons’ pride is so important to them, their culture was built around that pride.” (Bianca)
“I’m glad to see someone from the Temple of Justice being so impartial.” (Vanessa)
“Impartiality is at the heart of my religion and the teachings of the God I serve.” (Bianca)
“Talking about fairness is easy, but not everyone is able to live up to it.” (I)
“One more has arrived.” (Hinata)
“I know, I noticed your Aura approaching the stairs.” (I)
“Who spoke now?” (Darcia)
Darcia seems to have heard Hinata’s voice now and started looking around for someone she hadn’t noticed before.
