I have been sort of rude to the people who have fought alongside us. Besides, asking questions is safer in terms of the agreement. And while watching a more complex ritual being drawn is kind of interesting, even to the children, whom we have let join us, it is necessary to do something else to cut off more of the scholar’s question. As imperfectly as that works.


    RC: Who made these platforms?


    P: I have made them.


    RC: How did you get that ability? Racial or essence, which awakening stone?


    P: I have made them with the first ability I derived from my confluence essence. Hence no awakening stone was used.


    P: How in detail did you come to the decision that splitting your group was necessary?


    DT: We had wrecked our second skimmer by an accident. Then we stumbled on an enemy scout.


    KN: Could you begin your account at an earlier time? It is unclear to me what had triggered your mission.


    RP: You need to begin at Bahadir’s contest.


    DT: Right. So, a few years ago a professional treasure hunter held a contest to retrieve a relic from an astral space located under the lake. He attacted over a hundred adventurers who spent a lot of money here. After they, the Adventure Society and Bahadir’s people left, bandits moved in.


    P: Does this sequence of events imply that the lawless elements operating in this area are doing so only temporarily and had to anticipate the eventual reaction of which you are a part?


    DT: We have no solid evidence either way, but we are assuming that.


    KN: Please allow me time to consider the implications of what you just stated.


    RC: Please step into the circle holding the awakening stone and the token in either hand. Take care to not step on the lines.


    Karolína deeply lost in thought I do the translation. Both the token and the stone dissolve.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    PN:


    That is new.


    It happens with humans when they get an essence.


    This is the change that is supposed to let you access skill books.


    Screw this, I am not going to be the only one left out.


    Are you willing to extend the deal?
