I opened the door and saw the old man standing there, with a small smile on his face.
He is a stone skin man with pure black marble skin. There is a red gem in the center of his temple, gently glowing with power.
"Prime Valsnorth, welcome to my humble abode," I invited him inside. "Thank you, young man," he said and entered inside.
I know his name and other primes of the organization.
The cards had a lot of information; I have also brought information on all the prime organizations that have given me their cards.
There were a lot of information brokers in the sermon realm. Selling reliable information at good rates.
"I was about to have breakfast; will you mind joining me?" I asked. "I have heard so much about your culinary skills. I like to see if they are as good as the young ones have praised," He accepted and sat down dining table.
I served him and myself a breakfast and we began to eat in silence.
"Why us? Why chose Tor? From what I know, you have gotten the invitation from every Prime organization, including the Golden Prime?" he asked, to which I smiled.
"I had no interest in joining the organization before, but I have experienced something in the past year. That made me seriously think about it and your organization is most suitable for me," I said, and he arched his brow in question.
Buzz!
I didn't answer and instead placed a round crystal in front of him and activated it.
A moment later, scenes begin to play above it, starting with me coming out of the gate of Ibun city and flying out it, despite the governor's invitation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few hours passed within a second until the time of my kidnapping.
A few seconds later, the scenes have changed again, and this time; I am captive in slime.
Seeing that, his expression changed for a moment, before getting under control.
The scenes flashed till it was me coming out of slime. I didn't show my breakthrough and other stuff; I showed him enough to know what was happening.
He saw punishing those three and getting out and fighting the guards, before walking out of the compound and eight days till I jumped into the rift and came here.
"I suppose those poor souls are still there?" he asked.
"Yes, I couldn't rescue them, fearing the cult knowing. It is better. I get out and bring a rescue to them," I replied, and he nodded before his expressions turned serious.
"Once again, why Tor? If you wanted someone to rescue them, you could have contacted Alkaz and even joined them; I am sure they would have welcomed you with open arms," he asked.
"Alkaz isn't suitable for me," I replied.
Of course, I have got an invitation from Alkaz as well, but Alkaz is not for me. Tor is a much better choice.
Tor is an organization that focuses on hunting cults. It is smaller than all the Prime organizations and the recruitment process is as strict as Golden Prime organizations.
It had a good mentoring program, and its member's rate of advancement is no slower than that of Golden Prime organizations.
The only reason it isn't a golden prime is because it is a very young organization. A little more than ten thousand years old, which is nothing, seeing as most Prime organizations are hundreds of thousands of years old; some are even older than million.
"While we did give you an invitation and your abilities will make you one of the most talented seeds we have, it is not enough,"
"We will need to think like background checks and other things even then, you will only be a provisional member and will only become a full member after you gained the trust," he said.
"I have read the literature," I replied.
"Good, we will start with verifying, if it is you who you said you are," he said and looked at me.
"It is my real face," I replied.
To that, he nodded, and a slate appeared in his hand, and slid it toward me. One look at the slate was enough for me to know. It is a runic puzzle and one that is quite complex.
"Shouldn't you first help me rescue those?" I asked, to which he smiled.
"I have already sent a message; the people are gathering and in three days. We will have enough people to seal all three organizations,"
"Rescuing will be only one task. We will also need to find moles of cults and we will need to be completely prepared for them," he replied.
"Good," I said and took a slate in my hand.
I already copied it and now I am going to my core to solve it.
I don't need to close my eyes to enter my core and I could even hold conversation and control my body, without even prime suspecting anything.
After nearly twenty minutes, my hand begins to move the runes. I did it for a few minutes, before stopping again.
This puzzle is not simple; it is harder than the one at the top levels of all runic challenges. Which is good, because if it had been weaker, I would have been disappointed.
Buzz!
"Done," I said eight hours later, and the moment later; the slate buzzed, while he looked at me with shock.
It was hard, but not that hard. I had solved it in three hours and done other things for five hours.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the challenges in the sermon realm, I had finished the challenges within a day. Here, I had the comfort of my core and time dilation.
To be honest, if I had come across this formation in the sermon realm. I don't think I would have been solving it with the time I had, but in the past year; my knowledge of runes has deepened further.
It is why I was able to solve it, so quickly.
"It is damned impressive, better than what I heard about you," he said, and I smiled.
"If you don't mind me asking, you are the host of celestial inheritance, right?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"We had some in the organization; a few in the Sky-Sovereign stage, but I don't think even they couldn't be compared to you, in the mastery of the runes," he said, and I smiled at the praise.
"Thank you for the praise, Prime Valsnorth," I said.
"Aside from runes, healing, and healing; you have mastery over the alchemy and artifice right?" he asked, to which I nodded.
"All of which will be needed to be tested in the organization, but before that I hope you will provide us with information about your background?" he asked.
"I am from a small world, within the limit of Primary II. I came here three years ago, which you can verify with this," I said, and a medallion appeared on the table.
It is surprised.
"How did you get your hands on it, Elansor didn't easily give it non-members?" he asked.
"I was captured within an hour of entering the world and ended up being enslaved in mine,"
"I was very lucky." "The room I shared with had a sister of a member of Elansor, who rescued her and since I become her good friend in the time I had spent there,"
"Her brother had been generous enough to give me this," I replied truthfully.
