Chapter 1925 Trade

The wyvern scampered off in fear. Armed with predictive and SOUL models, Rui bore an air of aura that did not quite fit within the Senior Realm. Twenty-two wyverns might have the confidence to fight him, but alone, they certainly didn't.

Kane fell to the ground, coughing blood.

"Kane!" Rui urgently pulled out healing potions, feeding them to him. "Heh..." Kane grinned weakly as he slowly healed. "I managed to stall one."

Rui heaved a troubled sigh. "I warned you. I warned you this could happen."

"And I chose to come anyway." He shrugged, experiencing the relief of a healing potion. "Besides, I was fine, ok?"

Rui stared at him skeptically. "...Uh huh."

"We injured each other. That's a tie, as far as I am concerned."

While Rui had to admit that he did a good job holding out against a creature that was much stronger, to call it a tie was questionable at best, especially when Kane didn't have a good way of taking down such creatures.

Daggers were great against human-sized targets, but wyverns were much larger and had a tough armor of scales that could deflect or largely negate his daggers as an offense.

"What the fuck is wrong with this region anyway?" He complained. "I thought you told me this was supposed to be a Squire-level region. It sure as hell doesn't feel that way!"

Rui's expression grew grim. "It's mostly grown more dangerous rapidly before the Adventurer's Guild could keep up."

This was the consequence of forgoing dedicated veracity in order to reduce the cost of Beast Domain services. They could make their services cheaper and economically viable, but in turn, countless adventurers died due to a lack of information on the dangers and risks, or worse, due to misinformation about the dangers and risks.

Rui was especially angered by this, now that his friend had almost died as a result of this.

Rui arrived before it, squatting to meet its gaze at eye-level. My offer is simple. Rui hoped that it was intelligent enough to parse the concept of trade. Give me information, and I will let you live. I will even heal you.

Rui made a quick demonstration, consuming a healing potion and showing the wyvern how the few gashes on his body quickly returned to how they used to be, leaving nothing more than mild scars of what could have been an old wound.

"Rrrrk?" Its eyes lit up at the sight as it finally understood what Rui was conveying.

Agreed. Heal. Help. It gazed at Rui with its inhuman eyes.

"First, I get what I want," he replied. "This will work smoother if you cooperate. Just try your best to actively remember everything you can. That's good enough."

He didn't waste any more words.

Sleep.

A world of darkness overcame it as its consciousness dimmed in activity while its subconscious mind grew more vigorous. It had already entered a trance much deeper than the one that Rui had put it in during the battle.

"Plurichroma."

The world around them shifted as he took his time going through every single wavelength and frequency of light and sound, mapping the corresponding subconscious non-verbal communication associated with each of them.

That, along with the intent-evaluation SOUL model that he had created during the battle, and he quickly created the memory-evaluation SOUL model.

Immediately, he conjured up the image of the Divine Doctor, embodying it in his mind, such that his subconscious mind caused him to subconsciously act like the Divine Doctor was actually there.

The subconscious non-verbal communication adhered to that, fully communicating the image to the wyvern.

Much to his delight, a blossom of memories were triggered, resurfacing them as the wyvern relived them in real-time. -
