2953 Serious Question
Roan heard that and commented through their connection. 'That's all we need. I know how to convince a Dragon Related Demon Beast to sell some blood. In the worst case scenario, we cna go to the black market. I refuse to believe Dragon Blood isn't being sold there.'
Rean nodded and decided to change his wish. 'So, what should I ask instead?'
Roan thought about it for a moment. They already know how to get the next materials, so they don't need to ask for anything in that regard. What everyone in this country considered a lifetime opportunity turned out to be something quite useless for Rean and Roan. It wasn't that they didn't have more wish, but that a small place like this wouldn't have what they really need, like Divine Origin Energy Cores, for example.
Amelia noticed Rean's silence and urged him. "Little boy, we can't stand here all day. If you don't decide on another wish soon, I will take that you don't have any."
'Maybe... Rank Five Spiritual Stones? In the end, all we lack to cultivate faster is higher concentrations of Spiritual Energy.' Rean mentioned one of the most obvious alternatives.
Roan didn't find it a bad idea, though. 'Yes, just go for it.'
Rean nodded and quickly spoke his wish. "Alright, then I want Rank Five Spirit Stones, as many as this wish is able to provide me."
Amelia and the other experts around found that wish quite disappointing. Sure, Rank Five Spiritual Stones were good. However, there were bound to be much better things to ask for, no?
Well, Amelia was satisfied it was something that easy to accomplish. "Then it shall be done. Karev, see that this boy gets Rank Five Spiritual Stones. Let me see... A thousand should be enough for someone at his level. It will take many years for him to consume it."
Rean faintly smiled as he thought. 'Many years? Hold my beer!' Too bad he couldn't really speak that aloud.
Roan snorted but didn't say anything. Following that, he approached one of the palace workers, who was observing him. "I finished my research. We can leave now."
However, the worker shook his head. "First, there is someone who would like to talk to you. Would you mind following me?"
Roan was puzzled but nodded in the end. It shouldn't be anything important or bad. If it was, there would be no need to wait for him to finish his research in the terminal. They could have simply tried to force him to come directly.
Rean sat in a restaurant and asked for a few dishes while he watched the events happening to Roan through their connection. 'Do you think someone saw through us?'
'If they had, I doubt they would have let us finish the contest,' Roan spoke his thoughts. 'Besides, would they have allowed you to leave?'
Rean had to agree. 'Well, that's true.'
The worker didn't take long to bring Roan to a separate room from the main palace. There, someone was already waiting for him. Finally, the worker left Roan and the new guy alone.
Roan looked at the man. "Karev, right? The guy that always stayed by the queen's side."
Karev looked back at Roan. "That would be me. I asked you to come because I have something to ask." His expression turned serious. "You aren't someone from this planet, are you?"
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
