Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2639  Permission

Lola looked away, speaking nervously. "I... might have let it escape by mistake..."

*Pah!*

The chief's paw hit Lola's back head, using skind of power of the Chaos Laws that truly made it painful. "You idiot! What part of no help did you not hear?"

Lola rubbed the back of her head with a wronged expression. "But I didn't say anything else. I just said they could find our burrow if they went east, and that was all. What help is in there? We can simply not tell them anything, and there will be nothing they can do."

The chief was just about to hit Lola again when a slightly less ashen-furred female Loporrit stopped him. "Now, now, dear. Lola had always been the type to go with her whims; it was your fault to ask her to go there in the first place. It was as if you actually wanted something else to happen but needed an excuse."

Lola quickly jumped into Loporrit's arms and cried. "Grandma, grampa is bullyingagain!" Well, he wasn't really her grampa, nor was that female Loporrit her grandma. She just liked to call them that.

"See, Lotiri, you made her cry," the 'grandma' showed a disapproving expression to the chief, who obviously was called Lotiri.

Lotiri's mouth twitched, though. "Lila, she is obviously using you! Don't let these fake tears affect your judgment! Also..." He then looked away, just like Lola did a moment ago. "I didn't mean anything by sending Lola there."

Not a single Loporrit in that room believed Lotori's words, and quite a few were trying to hold their laugh. Lotiri could see that. "Ahem! Lavi, report."

A blue-furred Loporrit quickly stepped forward. "This group seems promising, chief! They managed to defeat the Wonder Beasts and use the Laws of the World to approach them without being detected. At first, they were using the beasts' energy to comprehend laws. However, they changed their tactics. They are now mergind the beasts' energy to merge it with the world laws and then fusing it into their bodies. It won't be long before they make this world recognize their existence."

"That fast?" Lotiri was surprised by Lavi's words. "I thought it would take several weeks until anyone figured it out. Well, perhaps Lola's intervention wasn't all that bad."

"See!" Lola immediately took the chance. "I did nothing wrong!"

Lotiri raised his paw, making Lola burrow herself in Lila's embrace once again, preventing Lotiri from hitting her head. Lotiri could only let it go. "Hmph! You were just lucky."

Lavi didn't finish his report, though. "Just one thing, chief. There is one person in this group that... has a very familiar smell."

"Ah!" Lola quickly spoke. "Yes, yes! He is the black-haired human. I also felt a very familiar smell on him, almost as if I was standing by the side of someone of our race. Of course, he obviously wasn't a Loporrit."

Lotiri found it strange. "Familiar smell? That's weird. But then again, there might be similar races to ours on Hyeoumu's back, so he might simply be close to them. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Since you confirmed he is a human, it is a good thing. Lulio, what about the Archangel Bird?"

And so the reports continued as the Loporrits kept a close watch on all the key experts that entered the wonderland. Back on the twins' side, they had just finished off another creature. Obviously, they didn't know the Loporrits called it Wonder Beasts. "This aligning thing is even slower than the comprehension of laws," Rean complained.

However, Roan didn't see it that way. "It is not a problem. Different from the comprehension of laws, the alignment speed isn't going down. It is a constant. It is like we are filling a jar with water. The more we pour water inside, the closer it gets to full. We just need to continue. If we used these Wonder Beasts to comprehend the first sublaws, we would eventually get even slower than this."

"Wonder Beasts?" Rean and the others asked back, having heard that nfor the first time.

"Did I say Wonder Beast?" Roan asked back, and everyone nodded, so he just shook his head. "I didn't even notice. It is definitely another memory. Well, it wasn't hard to guess since that rabbit called this place wonderland. It makes sense since everything here works in such weird ways."

"So they are called Wonder Beasts..." Rean thought about it. "Do you think they have sother capabilities other than providing Chaos Laws and a bit of Chaos Energy?" Rean probed Roan's new memories.

Yet, Roan shook his head. "I don't know, but they are made of Chaos Laws, after all. Who knows? Perhaps they can change into anything. I wouldn't really be surprised since Chaos Laws change our own powers every twe try to use them."

"Hum?!" Suddenly, Celis looked in a certain direction. "Seems like we found a feast. There is a very high concentration of Chaos Energy in that direction. I just don't know if it is a single beast or several of them."

"Let's go and check," Kentucky quickly prepared to leave. "I want to finish this alignment and get over with our quest."

Celis returned to his humanoid form and jumped on Kentucky's back with Rean and Roan. Kentucky flew in the direction provided by Celis, and he arrived at the location half an hour later. However, what they saw wasn't a creature like before. Instead, it was a well? "Is it possible to create wells of Chaos Energy and Chaos Laws?" Rean found it hard to believe. It was truly a well like those you see in villages. It had the bricks, the bucket, the rope, etc. Inside... they could feel the rich concentration of both Chaos Laws and a little bit of Chaos Energy. Of course, compared to the creatures they killed so far, the amount of Chaos Energy inside was hundreds of times higher, although it was still small overall.

Roan didn't look at the well, though. Instead, he looked at an empty space near it. "We need to ask for permission first."
