Kyran looked at Zephyr with a slight frown as he asked, "What?"


    Instead of answering aloud, Zephyr answered him telepathically.


    [That is the Heaven''s Conch.]


    Kyran did not reply and continued to look at Zephyr with raised brows.


    Zephyr sighed in his heart.


    He already knew that his new master had little knowledge about his two magic. Since Kyran was a Regis, he knew some of the Dragon Lord''s history. However, Zephyr found that what the Regis learned about the Dragon Lord was superficial. Even the supposed Regis Blessing was different. The Regis believed that the dragon blood that talented family members consumed enabled them to practice Dragon Techniques. And when activating the Regis Blessing, their body would get a sudden boost, and their physical strength could manifest 1% of a dragon''s might.


    In truth, the reason why the dragon blood could help a Regis use Dragon Techniques was that the blood awakens the sleeping bloodline of the Dragon Lord''s descendants. When others tried to consume the dragon''s blood, they would end up dead.


    As for the so-called Regis Blessing, it was the gift to use Draconic Magic. However, few Regis''s could manifest it. Once their bloodline awakens then they could use Dragon Magic.


    Putting this information aside, the reason for Zephyr''s agitation was the item in Kyran''s hand. He did not sense it earlier because the Ice Orb concealed the aura within, but the moment Kyran touched it, as his Sigil, Zephyr felt and recognized it at once.


    Seeing the nk expression on Kyran''s face, Zephyr felt helpless.


    [Seriously, master. You need to get your history and facts straight!]


    Kyran''s expression turned cold. He remained silent as he stared at Zephyr.


    Cold sweat immediately trickled down Zephyr''s back as he sensed a dangerous auraing out from Kyran. His master might not know of it, but his silence could invoke fear to anyone looking at him.


    With a sigh, Zephyr walked to the empty chair beside Kyran and started to exin the Heaven''s Conch.


    [The Dragon King gave the Heaven''s Conch to the Dragon Lord before leaving this ne.


    From the memories of my ancestors, it was said that the Dragon King did not want to part with the Dragon Lord, so he left the Heaven''s Conch to him, which had the ability to summon him. When the other Dragon Venerations found out, they were angry because the Heaven''s Conch was practically subjecting the King of the Dragons to servitude. The Dragon Venerations then decided to ce a mark on the Heaven''s Conch. If it appears within the human ne, they will sense it ande down to destroy the person who possessed it.


    Of course, they n to prevent that person from sounding the conch. Because once it is sounded and the King of the Dragons descend, those Dragon Venerations won''t stand a chance even withbined powers. Anyway, not just anyone from the Regis could sound the conch. The only one who could must possess the same magic signature as the Dragon Lord. In this case, you.]


    ''But the moment the Dragon King gave this to my ancestor, it already meant it is in a human ne. Why haven''t those Dragon Venerationse then?''


    Zephyr gave Kyran a bitter smile. His master had to learn his facts properly!


    [Have you heard of the Regis Terram?]


    Kyran shook his head.


    Zephyr sighed and continued.


    [The Regis Terram lies in the heart of the Regis Ancestral Land. It is a patch ofnd... well, ording to my ancestor''s memories that I possess, it is a floating piece ofnd that does not belong to this ne.]


    ''What do you mean it does not belong to this ne?''


    [It is and connected to the Dragons ne. That is what it means. Seriously master, whose the Regis descendant here? You should know about this since your n has been protecting the Regis Terram all these years!]


    Kyran scowled at him and immediately summoned a purple disc beneath them.


    The moment Zephyr saw the disc, he jumped out of his chair and was about to walk out of its range. However, Kyran was faster, and Zephyr sank into the disc with a mournful yell.


    [M-Master! No! I-I was just kidding—!]


    When Zephyr disappeared into the disc, they heard a loud thud upstairs followed by an audible groan.


    The others who had been watching them since Zephyr arrived could not help but blink in confusion. They were clueless about what had transpired between the two because they only saw them stare at each other.


    And then, Kyran shook his head then scowled. The next thing they knew, he warped Zephyr out of the room.


    Kyran heaved a deep sigh and looked at the Ice Orb in his hand. He could not see what was inside, but if what Zephyr said was true, did that mean the Heaven''s Conch was... small?


    How could anyone sound a conch the size of his palm? Maybe it was possible, but what kind of sound could it produce?


    Nn cleared his throat, which brought Kyran out of his thoughts.


    It was then that Kyran remembered that he and Zephyr had been talking telepathically.


    Nn raised his brows at him and said, "And? What did he say?"


    Kyran looked at the Ice Orb and hesitated. In truth, he had not fully digested the information Zephyr had said.


    He had heard Zephyr talk about ne this and that before, but it was the first he specifically said ''human ne'' and ''dragon ne.'' It made Kyran wonder how many nes were there and how were they connected to each other.


    ''There''s also the Spirits ne...''


    Something within Kyran stirred. As if he remembered something, and yet he could not fully grasp it. He soon realized that the feeling came from his Void Core.


    ''This...''


    Why would his Void Core stir when he wondered about the connection of different nes?


    Nn snapped his fingers and said, "Kid! Don''t zone out on us."


    Kyran snapped out of his thoughts and looked at them again.


    "Sorry," he apologized before taking a deep breath. He then pursed his lips while looking at the Ice Orb with aplicated expression.


    He said, "Zephyr said this item... is very dangerous."


    The four people sitting around the dining table gave him a nk expression.


    "Duh. We know that. If whatshisf*ckngnameagain did not foresee baldie''s death because of that item, missy wouldn''t have asked my help and exposed myself in the process."


    "Huh?"


    "What did you say?"


    "Foresee?"


    "Whose death?"


    All four asked at once.


    "Ah, geez, can we skip the gory details and just move on? Kid, I''ve seen the vision. When the Grand Marshal ''touched'' that orb and it cracked, countless eyes filled the sky."


    "Grand Marshal?"


    "Hey! You can''t just tell someone was supposed to have died without exining what is going on!" Gage growled.


    It was his first time hearing that Nn saved him because someone foresaw his death. But instead of exining it properly, Nn brushed it off as an insignificant event.


    When Gage encountered the mage with the shadow magic, he did not think he was the Grand Marshal. Nevertheless, Gage did not n to die without fighting. Unfortunately, he was too weak. He did not even manage to stay awake until the end.


    "Tsk. Fine!" Nn finally relented.


    As much as he liked to speak, it did not mean he enjoyed recounting events that did not even happen. But since baldie wanted to hear the details of his supposed death, then fine. He would tell him every detail he remembered.


    Nn recounted his talk with Ste for the next quarter of an hour. Although he only repeated the part about Gage''s gruesome death in the hands of the Grand Marshal, Gage, Ss and te''s faces changed because of the bloody details he told them. After that, Nn also told them about the appearance of several reptilian eyes in the skies after a crack appeared on the Ice Orb.


    Hearing Nn mentioned the reptilian eyes, Kyran knew he had to tell them the truth of the Heaven''s Conch. Because if not and the Ice Orb broke, how would he survive once those Dragon Venerations arrived? He might possess Draconic Magic, but what could he dopared to the real ones?


    When Nn was done exining, Kyran also told them what Zephyr had said. Although he left the part about the Regis Terram and how much the Dragon King did not want to leave the Dragon Lord.


    "That thing can make the Dragon Venerations appear?" Ss was the first to break the silence that followed after Kyran finished exining.


    He looked at the Ice Orb in Kyran''s hand in disbelief.


    Gage was also looking at the Ice Orb but in fear. He had no idea he had such a scary item in his possession!


    ''Damn you, Ss!'' He thought as he red at Ss.


    As a mercenary, Gage had experienced transporting dangerous items before. But none of those dangerous items couldpare to this.


    Ss could onlyugh at him awkwardly. He had no idea it was such a dangerous item. If he knew, well... he would still do the same. After all, it was a request.


    "As long as the orb doesn''t break, they will not appear," Kyran assured them and put the orb in his pouch.


    te nodded in agreement, "I can create an addition protection."


    She looked at Nn and added, "Then you can also ce an array on it."


    "He can do it himself," Nn replied with a shrug.


    Kyran looked at Nn. For some reason, he sensed Nn''s disapproving attitude whenever they talked about him doing arrays.


    "We can talk more about thatter," he said before looking at Gage. "Thank you for keeping it safe."


    Gage looked at him dumbfoundedly. He suddenly felt that all the things he discovered today were trivial. What mattered was that he seeded and delivered the item in good shape.


    "Y-Yeah, no problem." He replied.


    "Now that we got that out of the way, let''s talk about each of your role while Kyran and I leave," Nn said, bringing their discussion back on track.


    He looked at Kyran, who nodded in return.


    For the next half an hour, Nn and Kyran exined the n they hade up withst night.
