Aion couldn't help but wonder… but would people hate him that much just because he had the relics even when she said that he hadn't been a tyrant? If both of them were true, he probably made a lot of people angry during his conquest, and all that hate kept going on for a while. Decades… perhaps even centuries. He couldn't imagine the people of the current world being able to transform themselves without mutating naturally or even using monsters and animals.
"... Do you know the location of some monsters that can be useful for me?" Aion asked. "A flying creature that can move faster than me would be nice, and an ice dragon would be cool."
"Why an ice dragon? I don't get your weird preferences… wouldn't it be enough just being fast and powerful?" Seris asked while frowning.
"You critiqued other people's tastes when you spent days trying to make a cool design for your creations… the hypocrisy," Aion shrugged.
"It is totally different, and I always try to make cool designs that are also efficient!" Seris protested.
"Let's see, there are some in the external continents, but some of those creatures are basically idols for those countries… you might make some enemies if you use them, and the rumor spreads," Arlana explained. "Keeping them hidden will be difficult as well."
"All of them will die if I lose, right? So, who cares?" Aion asked. "I can always try to make them think that the creature followed me of their own volition."
"I guess that might work," Seris said. "Anyway, there is a country in the far East where you can find a primordial bird that lives in volcanoes. Although I said that you could take that creature in this timeline, you can also try to tame it at the moment that it is about to die in the future. I have been here for a while, and it seems that nothing weird is going to happen unless I try to change some events directly."
"How far in the future?" Aion asked.
"Three hundred years," Arlana replied.
"For real?" Aion opened his eyes widely.
"They are called primordial creatures because they are essentially monsters that mutated and became super powerful creatures that can live for hundreds of years," Seris explained. "You don't read many books, do you?"
"I guess not," Aion laughed.
"You should be able to defeat the creature as you are now, but I don't know in the future since primordial creatures become stronger the longer they live," Arlana explained. "Also, there are two problems… I don't know how you pretend to subjugate the creature, so I can't help. Second, you are supposed to kill that creature in the future when that country wages war against you."
"Is it fine for me to hear this but not other things? Aion frowned. "Also, it won't cause a problem if the same beings exist in the same timeline?"
"Something should happen if they try to fight each other, but not if they don't meet," Arlana explained. "There is a chance that they might become one, and their power will increase, but that only will happen if both creatures agree."
Aion was used to taking risks, but that seemed a bit too much. Then again, he couldn't choose the methods to get stronger when Arlana said that he was defeated in the future after constantly getting stronger for five hundred years… so he had to speed things up a bit.

Aion sighed. If he wanted to take a creature that could live for hundreds of years, he probably had to level up that class way more, and he would have to do it the hard way.
"I am going to check that creature in the West; you guys stay here and keep… just don't cause problems for my mother," Aion declared.
"Don't talk like we are children, and I should go to make sure that you won't do anything stupid," Seris said.
"Nah, if something happens while I am away, you will have to hold the fort," Aion shook his head. "How many days will it take to reach that country?"
"With the speed that you showed me, and if you don't fly nonstop, around ten days," Arlana replied.
"For real…" Aion's mouth was left hanging open.
"It seems that you didn't study the book that I gave you… I can teach a rune that will help you fly faster if you use more mana," Seris said and then sighed.
"That will help a lot, thanks," Aion said while wondering if he could make the Tamer class level up by using that rune.
Once Aion learned the rune, he immediately set off from his home. He had to cast the rune every ten minutes. Still, at least after doing some tests by using as much mana as he could on the rune, he was able to fly ten times faster… the real problem was the class that didn't have that much compatibility with magic. However, Aion had a shit ton of money to solve that.
Aion didn't have much time to check the country on the western side of his territory since he flew pretty fast, but it seemed like a place with a lot of rough terrains. After that, he only saw the sea for around forty hours.
"I am lucky that all that work on the road trained my mind for this…" Aion thought once the temperature began to increase and finally see some land ahead.
Aion probably had crossed dozens of thousands of kilometers, so he was exhausted. Still, he endured all that since the Tamer class still leveled up.
