Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1091 - Let's Go With This One

"A gathering?" Gulia could not help but ask. "What's it about?" Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Fabio then explained, "It's related to the next Huring Sacred Land Recruitment. As you know, I had to move a few things to give you those slots. At first, it shouldn't be a problem. However, there might be a few people who are against me that will try to find trouble with you guys because of that."

Rean then asked, "What kind of problem? Are they going to refute our capability to have some of the slots?"

Fabio nodded in response. "Exactly. However, this isn't an attack on you but on me. Even if you don't perform well, don't worry about it. Our agreement is still valid and can't be taken back."

"What would your opposition try to do?" Roan asked after that.

"Well..." Fabio pondered over it for a bit. "The Sacred Land Recruitment will definitely test your strength first and foremost. I believe some of my opponents from the Royal Family will send their own members to test you out in this regard."

That was more or less what Rean and the others expected. "By the way, why are you on bad terms with some of the Royal Family members? Is there a specific reason?"

Fabio shrugged his shoulders. "What else could it be? The control over the kingdom once the King is gone. Everyone is trying to build their forces since back then for the time the inevitable happens. However, you don't need to think much about it for now. The King is very well and definitely won't give up his throne any time soon. His grasp over the throne is also irrefutable, so no one will try any idiotic thing against him since that would just be tantamount to suicide."

Fabio smiled after that as he continued, "Why do you think I started to recruit talents like you while you're still so young and weak? Because I'm also thinking about the future, not the short term. There's still a very long road ahead."

"By the way, the Kamos Kingdom has 250 slots to use, right? How many of these slots are being used by the Royal Family?" Roan asked.

"50! The other 200 were given to the rest of the powers of our kingdom like sects, guilds, and other organizations. As to how they decide to share it, that's up to them. You won't see their choices until we leave for the Sacred Land either," Fabio answered.

Fabio then talked a little more with the twins, Gulia, and Regio before he let them return to their own things. Once they were gone, Fabio looked at Colen before asking, "What do you think about their progress?"

Colen nodded and began to tell his thoughts. "Gulia and Regio are doing fine. They have good talents and could match the good talents of the Royal Family. However, it would be a stretch if we talked about the top talents like Finral, Lahabrea, and Plinio. They're still quite lacking when compared to those types."

Colen continued, "The twins are definitely the highest talents of the four, though. It even feels a bit of a waste that master hadn't found them sooner. If you had, you could have provided them with the resources and cultivation manuals necessary for their development. I truly believe they don't lose to the Royal Family's top geniuses in talent at all. Perhaps they're even above them."

"It's kind of sad that they're still in the Soul Transformation Realm. From what they told me, they had just reached 40 years of age. If they had been here from the start, I'm sure they would just be like Samanta. The Saint Realm would definitely have been achieved by them by now."

Fabio agreed with Colen's judgment. "It seems like we have the same thoughts. However, it was good that I at least found them while they were young. With the Soul Binding Contract in place, they will be a great help in the future."

"What about the Sacred Land?" Colen asked after that. "It would be even better if they could enter it."

Fabio shook his head as he replied, "Probably only Samanta has a real chance at it. Gulia, Regio, and the twins are still a bit lacking. In the twins' case, they don't lack talent but time. If they were in the Saint Realm, then they would have better chances at it. Alas..."

Fabio got up after saying that. "That's not a problem. Even if none of them join the Sacred Land, they will still have my support for their development. For a small country like ours, that's more than enough for them to become a huge asset in the future." With that, Fabio left the room, leaving Colen behind.

Back in the twins' rooms, Roan contacted Rean through their Soul Connection. "How's the blacksmith training going?"

Rean answered as he entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "I concluded the addition of the Cosgles Race's Earth's Remnants to my forging technique. I can start crafting our weapons anytime."

Roan pondered over it a bit before asking, "Then, go ahead and forge my scythe. This gathering of the Royal Family is a good chance to try it out."

Rean didn't mind. "Sure, I'll need your help with my new Black Star as well. I'm still using swords, after all. Besides, both weapons must be equivalent in power in case we decide to use Sun and Moon Obliteration, so I want to forge them together. However, have you already thought about the material for the holder?"

Roan nodded, telling him, "I asked Colen to obtain a few Golden Initial-level wood for you. Haven't you got it already?"

"I did," Rean replied. "But I don't know which one you'd want to use. Come and check while I work on the holders first. You can try each one and see if you like any of them."

During the next few hours, Rean worked on the scythe's holders. The materials were really good, which allowed him to achieve some high-quality results. However, it wasn't before Rean crafted the seventh one that Roan finally felt satisfied with the result. "What's the name of this wood? Its resistance and flexibility are very good."

"Let me see..." Rean checked the list Colen gave him before answering, "It's made from Peak Midsummer Tree, which can be found in the Fesgrel Country's Desert Lands."

Roan nodded after that. "It explains the smooth gathering of Light Element. After all, it came from a place where light and Yang Energy are constant." With that, Roan made his decision.. "Let's go with this one."
