2724 Payment for Information
Samuel was experienced, so he quickly calmed down after he found out he could move again. He raised from his chair, bowing at Rean. "Hello, sir. It was our mistake for not coming out and receiving you. I hope you forgive my clan elder's mistake who just tried to attack you."
"Hahaha!" Rean just laughed. "It's fine! It's fine! I'm the one to blame here. It's just that I'm in a little of a hurry, so I just searched for the strongest cultivator around and found you here; thus, here I am. Besides, I'm probably a few thousand years younger than you, so you don't really need to call me sir. Just call me by my name, Rean."
Samuel nodded, relieved. Rean didn't seem to have bad intentions. If anything, he might gain something from this interaction instead. As for Rean being much younger than him, he didn't doubt. As the leader of the Blanvie Clan, he knew very well that people from the Center of the Realm of Gods were much stronger. "Thank you, Rean. So, what can my Blanvie Clan help you with?"
Rean smiled and asked. "You see, I'm looking for information regarding this continent. In specific, information regarding any area where weird phenomenons happen. Anything is valid since I don't expect it to be anything big."
"Weird phenomenons?" Samuel and the other elders narrowed their eyes. The Realm of Gods was full of such places, and their continent definitely had a few of those. "Well, on top of my head, I can think about three places."
"Oh!" Rean got interested. "Please speak."
"The first one is a lightning realm," Samuel began. "The weird thing about this realm is that there aren't any conditions for such a place to take form. And yet, it is there. Up to this day, we still haven't found the reason. Our best guess is that it has some natural treasure that attracts those lightning clouds in the surroundings tens of thousands of kilometers."
Samuel talked about the Lightning Realm, giving all the details he could think of during the next tens of minutes.
Rean quickly memorized the information. Although it seemed a big thing, in the scale of the Realm of Gods, a few tens of thousands of kilometers couldn't even be considered a spec of dust. It wasn't anything impressive for a single continent, either.
"You can find the Lightning Realm on the Northeast side of the continent, near Spark City. That's the territory of the Rolumond Sect, though. We can't help you much with that, so friend Rean would need to go alone," Samuel explained.
"And I guess you also have no idea why it happens, right?" Rean asked.
Samuel confirmed straight away. "Yes. As I mentioned, it isn't really dangerous, so our clan, as well as the other four powers, have searched it from top to bottom, trying to find the reason. In the end, we all came out empty-handed. We can't really figure out why it happens. Maybe it is some other natural treasure. Maybe it is a natural formation. Anything seems possible."
Rean was satisfied with the answers. "That's good enough."
*Zush!*
*Bzzzzzzz... crack, crack, bzzzzzzz...*
Suddenly, Kentucky appeared in the middle of the room, coming out of a Spatial Gate. On his beak, he held a Black Crystal that emanated Purple Lighting. "Rean, they were right. The Lightning Realm was truly created by a Natural Treasure. It's this thing here. Oh, and the Lightning Realm is no more. It began to dissipate as soon as I took it away."
Samuel and the elders were shocked by that vision. The power of Lightning coming from that black crystal struck fear even in the Transition Realm elders. Only those at the Void Tempering and Samueal, who were in the Initial Stage of Space-Bending, could resist the pressure without much trouble. Of course, they could still tell just how powerful the crystal was.
Rean grabbed the Black Crystal as if it were nothing, completely ignoring the Lightning running through his body. "Not too shabby."
Right after, he put it on the center of the table in the meeting hall. "Alright, this is your payment for the information."
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
