2725 Interesting Bloodline
Samuel had his mouth wide open. "The Lightning Realm... that has been the grave of so many elders and even patriarchs of the Blanvie Clan in the past... Gone, just like that..."
Rean heard that, feeling bad. "I didn't expect it was that important for you all. Kentucky, put it back."
"NOOOOOOOO!" All the elders asked at the same time, and so did Samuel.
"A-Ahem!" Samuel quickly recovered. "We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this crystal. Our clan will gain a lot, and we shall treasure it for many generations to come."
"Is that so?" Rean smiled in response. "Well, it is yours then." It was indeed quite a good material, but Rean had better ones in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Kentucky found it so fast because of his Minokawa ability to perceive rare materials, usually metals, that could help his bloodline improve. However, this ability wasn't restricted to metals only. This crystal just barely entered Kentucky's perception, so he found it quite easily. "Sigh... but it felt so tasty..."
Rean patted his shoulder. "It's fine, it's fine. I'll let you eat a few of mine later, okay?"
Kentucky's eyes immediately lit up. "You said it! Don't go back on your word!"
Rean nodded and thought about all the information he got from the elders of the Blancie Clan. "Hum... we have the Eversun Desert and the Mirror Sea to check. Which one would be best first, I wonder."
"Which one is closer?" Kentucky asked, curious.
Rean looked at Samuel, who was holding the Black Crystal like it was his own son. Of course, he didn't forget Rean and Kentucky were there. "O-Oh! You already know where is the Eversun Desert, so it only leaves the Mirror Sea. The Mirror Sea is definitely a lot closer than the Eversun Desert, though. It is located inside our Blanvie Clan Territory. If you want, I can prepare a guide for you. Although there aren't dangers, there are many places that might be of interest to you two."
Sonzei looked at Rean in surprise. However, Rean had already left back to talk to Samuel. "Patriarch, thank you for the help. We are leaving now. Oh! Right! I told you I was going to talk about the Continental Barrier."
Rean found the situation funny, so he decided to tell everything... including the fact that the Realm of Gods was one single gigantic creature, and they all lived on its back. The expressions in everyone's eyes were simply priceless.
"W-What kind of monster... could be this big?" Samuel and the other elders couldn't help but wonder. They even thought perhaps he was messing with them.
"Well, it is up to you to believe or not. If one day any of you make it to the center of the Realm of Gods and grow strong enough, you will naturally find out about it," said Rean. "By the way," Rean looked at the woman on Sonzei's side. "She is?"
The female demon beast finally introduced herself. "I'm Flast-kufei, sir. I'm Sonzei's Aerial Demon Beast."
Only then did Rean and Kentucky remember people here couldn't open Spatial Gates like them, so the use of Flying Demon Beasts was quite common. They truly got used to Spatial Gates after all these years.
Flast-Kufei was in the Transition Realm, two realms above Sonzei himself. She obviously had sentience due to her realm as well. It was just a little weird that she considered herself Sonzei's Demon Beast while being much stronger. Not that it was Rean or Kentucky's problem, anyway.
"Flast-Kufei... too complicated. I'll just call you Fafa," Kentucky spoke without much care, though.
Flast-Kufei was taken aback. However, before she could say anything, Rean opened a Spatial Gate and pulled everyone inside. Just like that, they were gone from the Blanvie Clan.
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
