Death… And Me

Chapter 2188 A Lie

?

"So you do know about me, huh?" Kentucky said as he looked at Werin-Ou.

Werin quickly raised his head once again and nodded. "I've never seen you when you were just an egg. However, there was no Minokawa that hadn't seen the phenomenon that occurred when you were laid by your mother. Unfortunately, all other forces noticed it as well. Humanoids, Spirits, Devils, Even other Demon Beasts who might not like the Minokawas, you name it."

Kentucky already knew that part. "Yes, I heard from Jeskli-Go about it." Other than his father, Jeskli-Go was the only Minokawa he had talked to until this moment. "By the way, I can't help but feel something weird. The way you talked about the Minokawas pictured them as some quite reliable race. A race that protects its eggs and all that. It goes completely against what Jeskli-Go told me. When Jeskli-Go talked about them, he pictured our race as nothing more than a bunch of lazy Demon Birds." (Check chapter 1929 if you don't remember him.)

Back then, Jeskli-Go told Kentucky that they simply didn't care about the Regal Minokawa. If anything, the appearance of a Regal Minokawa was more of a nuisance. After all, Regal Demon Beasts are existences that create great risks for any of the powers in the Realm of Gods. That would definitely attract a lot of enemies trying to kill Kentucky. The only time Minokawas would unite was if the race as a whole was in danger. Otherwise, they would simply ignore it as they are mostly too lazy to do anything else.

Knowing about it, Kentucky's parents had to flee with his egg since the other Minokawas would not help protect him. Yet, from what Werin just said during their conversation with the twins, it looked like the Minokawas experts were a lot more protective of their race than Jeskli-Go pictured them. It was a completely different contrast.

Werin pondered a bit before talking. "All I can imagine is that Senior Jeskli-Go said it to make sure you wouldn't go back to the Floating Islands of Time. I won't lie. Most Minokawas are indeed very lazy. I'm quite an exception, to be honest. However, we are truly not all that bad. Back then, the Minokawas were very happy with the birth of the Regal Minokawa."

"This..." Kentucky was taken aback. "Why would Jeskli-Go not want me to return to the Minokawa's Territory? Even if that's the case, why didn't he simply tell me not to go back instead of creating all this bullshit story?"

Werin shook his head. "That you will have to ask him directly. As for why he didn't want you to go back, that's because even to this day, we have a lot of eyes around our territory. You can imagine why if you think a little."

Kentucky agreed with him. "It's been just a few hundred years since my parents fled with me. Regardless of what happened to them, the fact was that their enemy obviously didn't find me. They know I'm still out there somewhere. That said, these hidden eyes around the Floating Islands of Time are there to see if they can find some clue about me."

Werin confirmed Kentucky's words. "That's correct. But in the end, it is true that we are quite a lazy race. As long as these scouts don't try to get inside our nests' area, we won't go around pursuing them. You heard from Pulanli. Even she can't get inside our home without the permission of the top Minokawas. She had to live somewhere further away. Last but not least, killing those scouts would be meaningless since they are all low-level. The forces trying to locate you would simply send more and more of them until we gave up. Well, we didn't even try to get rid of them to start with."

Kentucky continued to make questions. "Alright, you still haven't told me why the Minokawas didn't try to protect me. Obviously, Jeskli-Go lied about that Minokawas simply found my existence a nuisance. Why were my parents forced to flee with my egg?"I think you should take a look at

"I don't know," Werin explained. "You will have to ask Jeskli-Go for it. All I heard was that one day, you and your parents were gone. No one knew where you went to. Because this was related to a Regal Minokawa existence, Senior Jeskli-Go and the other top experts of our race haven't told me and the other Minokawas about the reason."

Kentucky narrowed his eyes and thought about it. He then took out a feather that he had been keeping with him for all these years. "I got it from Senior Jeskli-Go. It's his feather, right?"

Werin felt the aura of that feather and immediately confirmed. "That's indeed Senior Jeskli-Go's Feather. There is even a little bit of his blood there. You are quite lucky."

"Oh!" Kentucky was surprised to hear that. "Back when I talked to Jeskli-Go, he gave it to me. However, all he said was that it might come in handy one day. He didn't say what it was used for."

"As you probably already know, Senior Jeskli is also at the Divinity Realm. The blood you are seeing can be used for many things. It has the power of a Divinity Realm Minokawa Bloodline, after all," Werin explained. "I think the best use for it would be for a one-off defense or to strengthen another's Bloodline."

"One-off defense?" Kentucky asked.

Werin nodded and continued. "If you channel the Light and Dark Divine Armor while drawing the force of this blood, your skill will momentarily reach the level of a Divinity Realm being. Of course, it is just an instant, and then the blood's effect will be completely gone."

"As for the strength effect, it can help purify a Minokawa's bloodline. That will definitely make cultivation easier. He wasn't lying. This feather can indeed be very helpful," Werin concluded while making it obvious that he felt quite jealous of that blood.

Kentucky thought about it for a moment and immediately decided how to use that bloodline. "In that case, I'm going to use it to further unseal my Regal Bloodline."
