Tilte didn’t waste time and headed straight to the Jhiod Sect’s building. However, just as he was about to enter, he received a Divine Sense message from Iglet inside. As the protectors that oversee the sect’s recruitment, they couldn’t allow anyone above the Void Tempering Realm to join the participants inside. ‘Turn back. This is not a place for you.’
Tilte already expected that, though. He then used his Divine Sense to follow that Divine Sense back and talk. ‘I’m not here to meddle in the Jhiod Sect’s recruitment as much as possible. I wish to talk with the person in charge of the recruitment. There is something we need to discuss.’
Iglet looked at Libraia after hearing that. Libraia was the boss here, after all. At the moment, she was fighting the twins with Govin once again. After all, there was a lot of time until the next test, and she wished to see the weapon intents as much as possible. “Hmph! It’s probably just another idiot thinking that he can pay us to help his descendants pass the test. Send him away.”
However, Iglet shook his head, saying, “He said he isn’t asking to help anyone pass any test.”
Libraia’s attention was piqued after that. “He doesn’t want to help anyone? That’s quite rare.” Libraia then nodded after that. “Alright, show him the way to this room.”
Rean and Roan looked at each other after hearing that. ‘Could it be the one we’re thinking of?’
Roan thought it to be possible. ‘Maybe. We will find out since we’re also here. However, Erla is your problem, so if you wanna try anything, it’s up to you to do whatever you want.’
Rean didn’t mind that. ‘Well, we’ll see.’
‘Want to see more chapters?’ Please visit [P a n d a – N o v e l .C O M] Not long after, the demon beast in human form entered the room while Rean was fighting Libraia with his sword intent. Tilte had already received the image of Rean and Roan’s appearance from Blansin. Naturally, he was surprised to see that these two Jhiod Sect candidates were in this room as well.
However, Libraia didn’t care about that. “Alright, Rean. That’s enough for now. Give me a minute to deal with this guy.”
After that, she paid attention to Tilte. “So, what is it that you want? I’ll be straight here. You can’t buy your descendants passage through the test regardless of how much you pay.”
Tilte shook his head as he took his attention away from the twins. “I don’t have any intention of paying to help anyone in the test. Your friend here should have told you that, lady Libraia.”
Libraia nodded in response. “Good. So, what is it about?”
“I would like to pay for you to stop someone from joining the Jhiod Sect instead. This someone is very important to my Silver Horn Sturgeon race. However, we can touch her since she’s in your Jhiod Sect’s building,” Tilte explained. “You can’t accept payments to help anyone. However, considering how many candidates fail and die in the test, I’m sure no one will bother if you throw one of them out. Believe me when I say my Silver Horn Sturgeon race can pay you generously for the help.”
Libraia narrowed her eyes after hearing that. That wasn’t the kind of request she heard every day.
However, it was at this moment she received a Divine Sense message from Rean. ‘The person he wants to stop from joining the sect is a friend of mine. If possible, I would be very grateful if you refused his offer.’
After hearing that, Libraia understood who they were talking about. ‘Is it about that female demon beast that has been following you? I’ve noticed that quite a few demon beasts seem to be looking for her inside the tests.’
Rean confirmed Libraia’s words, saying, ‘That’s her.’
Of course, that also made Libraia curious. ‘Hmm… I can help you with that. However, you have to tell me what is it that’s so important for the Silver Horn Sturgeon race? For this guy to offer to pay for my help, he must be quite desperate.’
‘This…’ Rean found it hard to talk. After all, the Clendes Sea Heart issue was something that would interest anyone in the Jhiod Sect. But then again, Erla would have to use her status as the Clendes Sea Heart’s owner later if she wanted the help of the elders of the Jhiod Sect once she joined it.
After pondering over it for a moment while Libraia talked with Tilte, Rean finally made his decision. ‘Oh well, I can only help her so much. She will have to count on her own luck as well.’
With that, Rean told Libraia about Erla’s power. However, he concealed the part where it was Erla’s heart that gave her such power. Instead, he told Libraia that her Pristine Blue Carp race had a connection with the god of the Clendes Sea, and she was the god’s inheritor through bloodline connection. The good thing was that Rean wasn’t lying. It was right to tell that Erla was really the guy’s inheritor and that it was her bloodline that allowed it.
‘What?!’ Libraia was taken aback to hear that. ‘That little Divine Demon Beast has this kind of power?’
Rean nodded, telling her, ‘She does. However, she will have to grow much stronger to be able to control it. Also, it can only be used in this manner inside the Clendes Sea. As to why that’s the case, I don’t know. No one knows. Anyways, I don’t want her to fall into the hands of the Silver Horn Sturgeon race. Instead, it will be better if she joins the Jhiod Sect.’
Libraia couldn’t help but ask in response, ‘Do you think my Jhiod Sect won’t make use of her powers in the future? Although we don’t care much about Terces Continent, being able to control it so easily will definitely be a great asset.’
Rean agreed with her, saying, ‘We were already expecting that. As the Silver Horn Sturgeon race, they want her dead since they attacked the White Scaled Carp race. For them, she’s a calamity. That’s why he’s this desperate.’
Libraia smiled in response after that. ‘Fine, I can refuse his offer. However, there’s a condition.’
