God's Eyes

Jason didn't expect that Shane needed something from someone, and it sounded even weirder to Shane that this person had to see him in order to hand over the things Shane required.

He was missing lots of information right now, but the fact that Shane asked him to trust his decision, and that he said 'please' made Jason's stance clear.

??

Until now, he hadn't done anything great for his masters, who had supported him to their fullest capabilities. As such he should at least trust them.

That was the bare minimum he could do.

Since Old Drake's betrayal, Jason had problems trusting other people, but what kind of life would he live if he were to never trust anyone in his entire life again?

That sounded unfavorable and extremely uncomfortable.

Living a life where you can't trust anyone would be annoying and frustrating.

In the end, he would have to rely on others sometimes too. To put it simply, he had already relied on Shane and Dalia quite often. As such he told himself that trusting his masters was the bare minimum he could return to them!

Smiling at him, Jason could help but say

"Alright, let's go then...but, I guess you won't tell me what you exactly you need from this person, right?"

Jason was curious about what Shane might need from someone else, but seeing that his master tried his best to avoid talking about what exactly he required and for what reason, he couldn't help but feel that Shane was still somewhat childish.

It was not like he was never serious, which he definitely was, but sometimes Shane was overly excited or acted like a small child.

In the beginning, Jason had thought that Shane was cold and distant, but after getting to know his master, he could tell that it was only an outer layer something Shane put on to disguise his true behavior.

This was not necessarily bad because there were many people that would ridicule Shane for his behavior if he were to openly reveal it, instead of acting differently in front of people he trusted.

Opponents wouldn't take him seriously too and some people might even take this chance in order to use their knowledge against Shane!

After Shane heard what Jason said he couldn't suppress his smile anymore as he teasingly said

"Obviously...I won't tell you what I need from this person! But I would recommend you to wear a mask until we enter the city. It might be a little bit annoying to enter the dome without an ID, because everything turned upside down since war started. But it should be fine as long as I can reach her!"

Jason somehow understood what Shane implied. Everyone without an ID should be labeled as an invader from another world at this point and he couldn't help but become doubtful when he heard 'as long as I can reach her'.

This told Jason that his master had yet to get in contact with the woman he needed something and he couldn't help but ask

"If...let's just say IF you can't reach this woman, what should we do?"

Smiling drily, Jason could see how his master was unable to say anything to this as Dalia intervened

"She will answer. At least if she didn't die, which is something that shouldn't happen… If I were to guess, she will be the last amongst our generation to die...and that's not even an exaggeration because I doubt that anything or anyone can take her down!"

When he heard this, Shane became interested in this woman, but he was unable to ask, knowing that he wouldn't receive an answer either way.

As such he just nodded his head when Shane told them that he had stored enough mana.

However, before they departed, he took out a crimson colored messenger crystal that was already starting to crumble, before Shane inserted mana into it.

When the messenger crystal had been activated, less than half a minute passed before they heard a voice that was both young, yet old.

"Lil' Shane? You're still alive? That's good to hear! I don't think you used one of the messenger crystal's uses just to chat with me, right? What do you want??"

Jason was unable to tell whether the woman, Shane had called, was nice or not. She seemed to be glad that Shane survived but didn't want to talk about other things. At the same time, the woman said? 'Lil' Shane' which indicated that the woman was much older than Shane was.

'Is she one of the old ones?'

Everyone who had survived the mana outbreak and was still alive was labeled as? 'Old One'.

Even if had only been three to four centuries which was a long period for humans, it was nothing for foreign races who had a heritage of several thousand years at the bare minimum.

Jason was not even sure how old younger races were, but it would be a surprise if he were to hear that a race younger than the human race existed.

In the end, 300 to 400 years was nothing and Jason was fully aware of this.

Even his masters should know this and it would be more astonishing if mankind's old ones were unaware of the fact that their titles were nothing but empty words.

"Hey Haepha, I'm still alive as you can hear! We'll come over in a few minutes, there is someone I want to introduce to you…!"

"Don't you mean there is something you need from me? You wouldn't come over in those chaotic times mankind is facing if there were nothing you need!! Furthermore, the Drake clan is still searching for you! Besides that, it was not bad to hide in the Lion den. I heard a lot about you! Astrix would be one of the last places I would have searched for you!"

Apparently, the woman was called Haepha and Jason could tell that she was straightforward and didn't really like the hesitation Shane was currently showcasing as Jason mumbled

"Why are they jumbling back and forth? Doesn't that waste more time than explaining everything neatly?"

He didn't notice that his voice was too loud and Shane turned around to Jason, glaring at him as if he had killed someone as Haepha, the woman Shane had been talking to said with a faint trace of joy in her voice.

"Who is that greenhorn that a moment ago? I doubt that he is your son, but It should be the 'someone' you wanted to introduce to me...Well, he is not wrong, let's not waste too much time and come over, I'll talk to the City Lord and tell him that a small group I'm acquainted with will arrive soon."

After she said that her voice changed and Jason could tell that she was about to speak to him as Haepha said

"I know that our short chat seems weird for you, but you have to know that there are foreign races who can change their voice...I was trying to figure out whether it's the real Shane or not.

You might not be aware of this, but most foreign races are no laughing matter!"

Shane nodded his head faintly, even though he doubted Haepha's words a little, while Dalia remained silent, thinking that Haepha and Shane were missing something as Jason blurted out Dalia's exact thoughts.

"I might not know much about most races, but I know that the red messenger crystal Shane activated can only be accessed with Shane's individual mana fluctuations which he should have imprinted into the crystal before the runes had been engraved…. There might be races, able to change their voice but I doubt that they can replicate Shane's mana fluctuations perfectly…

On the other hand, there is always the possibility of Shane being used a the host of a parasitic race, so I guess it's not wrong to be careful...He could also be abducted, tortured, and forced to activate the messenger crystal, but the efforts to do the latter are...vast to put it simple terms.

But I apologize if my words sounded rude, I did not plan to voice out my thoughts... It was an accident and I hope Ms. Haepha can accept my apology!"

When he had started to blurt out his thoughts, Jason had yet to notice that he might have overdone it. As such he apologized in the end, hoping that he could prevent making Haepha angry.

However, instead of doing so, she sounded extremely calm as she said

"Come over Shane, I want to see this youth! You wanted to introduce him to me either way!!"
