Chapter 127 - Death Knight
Chapter 127 - Death Knight
Hours passed and it was almost evening when the three of them finished their conversation.
Only now did Jason?s new masters understand his desire for knowledge because Jason asked hundreds of questions about almost everything.
This included herbs, ores, their ranking, beasts, habitats, landscapes, temporary rifts and their connection with us, permanent rifts, and what the other side really was...
Was there a whole planet on the other side or was it only a world fragment, plane, or something else? If it was a planet, where exactly was this planet situated?
A whole different universe, only a few stellar-systems or multiple galaxies away.
What about Argos...how strong are humans compared to the foreign races, what are the rankings after the Lord rank, and how many of such individuals existed?
When was he able to learn forging, brewing, inscribing, and everything important to understand how to evolve beasts…..and so on…
Shane and Dalia looked extremely exhausted at Jason who was still spirited to ask more.
Previously they weren't sure if Jason would be able to learn even two Basic-Artisan occupations from them but now they didn't have to hesitate for a second to answer such a simple question.
If Jason wasn't capable to learn two lifestyle-occupations... Nobody would and they gave Jason a memory stick with a few hundred book-files that were extremely large.
Unfortunately, his quantum bracelet began to work slower once he received all files and Jason noticed that the memory storage was completely filled.
Because he used external memory storage for the things from his new teachers, Jason had to purchase a better memory chip in order to access everything without attracting unwanted attention.
The files were locked and only Jason?s fingerprint and iris scan could unlock them.
Once he would purchase a new memory chip, he would also purchase a larger storage device that had an integrated cooler and a larger space with much more functions.
It would be expensive but Jason could just sell a few ripened fruits, he had thrown into his storage.
His whole storage of 2500 cubic meters was filled with all kinds of things and Jason wondered if he would still receive the Lace points from the goblin corpses because they were now completely annihilated.
Thinking about it, Jason noticed that it was not really important as before, because he could obtain much more credits by selling the rune weapons and pendants to the Artisan tower, while the other things he received from the Goblin basement were even more valuable.
Looking at the sealed herbs inside his storage device, Jason frowned which was noticed by Shane and Dalia.
Over the last few hours, their relationship became much better and it was comparable to a real Master-Disciple relationship, while Jason had two knowledgeable teachers, that knew almost everything.
After inquiring what was wrong, Jason stated the problem with the sealed herbs and that he couldn?t just plant them at the Fler?s home as they were too valuable and would attract much attention.
The solution was much simpler than he expected as Dalia took out a miniature conservatory from her ring that was a spatial device specially made by Shane.
The spatial device made by Shane couldn?t store beasts or rather sentient beasts, however, there was a section specially made for gardening, which Dalia loved.
With this, Dalia was able to store pots with herbs and trees inside the spatial device, even though they were alive.
With this, they would even grow within the specially made spatial ring, as the time flow continued normally.
What Dalia gave Jason, was something similar. It was an adjustable miniature conservatory, which could grow in size and was originally 10000 sq. meters large, which was a shocking size to imagine.
He couldn?t store it in his common spatial storage, but the conservatory was made out of rare metals and tempered glass and could even take hits from magical ranked beasts, without shattering.
There was even a magical watery system, that only had to be supplied with enough water and mana stones in order to work for a long time.
As such, Dalia gave it to Jason with a strengthened vine from one of the dryads to transform the conservatory into a pendant.
The conservatory in its smallest form was only 3cm long 3cm in width and 0.5 cm in height, which was incredible and Shane looked at his masterwork with a proud face.
Producing this conservatory took a great amount of effort and many spatial affinity mana cores had to be sacrificed to find out the collaboration between space, time, and life itself.
Compressing living beings was seen as impossible but not knowing how it worked and spreading the rumor that it was not possible were two completely different matters, while Shane now knew how to do it.
Giving such a precious present to Jason was a good way to gain his favor but if Dalia had gifted that to Jason a few hours ago, Shane would probably be furious.
This, however, changed quickly after he found out Jason?s thirst for knowledge in all kinds of aspects which caused him to admire his new disciple a little bit.
Dalia led Jason outside, where he noticed for the first time, that they were below a sea or lake.
Jason could see a faint blur of a stone arch above the lake?s surface and it seemed somehow familiar…
Looking at Shane with a perplexed expression Dalia chuckled while saying.
"Next time please don't jump into the lake naked.."
Hearing that, Jason immediately blushed and he knew where they were.
'6th affiliated Vanguard school, below the lake inside the forest...F**l' and Jason could only cry on his inside, as he remembered the first day of school when he jumped into the lake, naked at that...
"Now, enlarge the conservatory slightly and plant the herbs and trees. Sealing them away for too long will only damage them and decrease the efficiency of your plants."
Following the descriptions from Dalia, Jason enlarged the conservatory, and only now did he notice how large it really was, even though he didn?t use the biggest size.
Nevertheless, It still fits easily inside the dome surrounded hideout from his new Masters and he wondered how they managed to create this base underwater.
Taking out the soil as first, he filled the niche to plant the trees and herbs inside.
After the soil was used up, Jason took out one plant after another outside.
Before, he wasn?t sure how beneficial his trip through the Goblin basement was, and only now could he see everything clearly.
Alone from the herbs Jason gathered, there were 51 colored ones, while many colorless plants were simply thrown into his storage space.
Even the colorless plants were rare and Jason wanted them to stay alive, as fresh ingredients were always more worth than ones that were harvested a few days ago.
As such, Jason began to use his hands to plant all of the plants one by one.
Shane would have never thought that Jason had gathered so many herbs within such a short amount of time and his suspicion about Jason?s mana eyes grew once again.
"Jason we are considered as your masters now, right? I hope you don?t mind telling us about your mana eyes? "
He simply asked and Shane was sure that Jason would answer everything because both he and Dalia told Jason their secrets.
Jason didn't even look up from working and answered without thinking about the consequences for a long time.
"I don?t really know if I have mana eyes or something else, but I can see almost everything with them. For example that you have four different kinds of beasts contracted while two of them are darkness attributed, another one has a water affinity and your last soulbond has a spatial affinity. I can tell that because of the transmuted mana and the colors within the mana.
Dalia?s mana is transmuted by her silver origin flame and the wooden affinity.
Furthermore, my eyes have weird effects, one of them can roughly tell either the potential of beasts or the purify or their mana core, I?m not sure about that.
There are different colors radiating from almost every beast and until now, I?ve never seen a beast with a higher rank than the color I?ve seen.
Another effect of my eyes is that they can somehow Intimidate others once I?m angry. This only applies to beings below my own rank or unguarded humans.
The last effect I know is called[Abyssal effect] and is caused by my killing intent in addition to supplying my eyes with more mana. I don?t know if Shane watched my spar against Leo, but if you did, the effects should be clear.
I could almost defeat someone two stages above my rank with that.
Unfortunately, I don't really know anything about my eyes, and the information I provided are not proven or something like that.
My eyesight increases exceptionally with my mana core rank increase and the same can be said for my trait.
The stronger I get, the better I understand my `mana` eyes."
Jason finished and he had almost finished planting all the trees and herbs when he looked up right into Shane?s doubtful eyes, as he noticed something weird
'Why did I tell them everything? Couldn?t I have hidden a few facts?..' Sighing, Jason noticed that it was already too late, so he had to confidently charge through everything.
"Should I prove some of my information somehow?" He simply asked without any sign of being agitated about getting doubted.
"I believe you but can you still show me what exactly you meant with seeing the potential" Shane said and four beasts were summoned in front of the conservatory.
In front of Shane appeared a hundred meter long and 2.5 diameter width blue scaled snake with sapphire eyes, next to a 20-centimeter long golden mouse with golden eyes.
Jason felt chills when he saw the next beasts and at first, his gaze fell on the Bane of the thousand eyes wolf which he immediately avoided, only to look at a pitch-black armor with blue flames spewing out of the visor slits.
Death personally could be perceived from this direction and Dalia told Jason to store away the conservatory before the herbs would wither and rot.
The death aura radiating from this black armor was overwhelming and Dalia was worried about the well-being of the plants, which subsided after Jason adjusted the size of the conservatory.
After Jason put on the conservatory necklace everything should be fine, as the material the conservatory was made of could prevent any outside auras infiltrating it, as long as it was not forcefully pushed in.
"Please tell me what their potential is and their rank if possible" Shane said, looking carefully at Jason, whose eyes were now shining lightly.
Jason saw a new color he had never seen before...wait! 'Didn?t the Goblin King also have this color?' He asked himself and only now did he realize that it wasn?t only the blue flame that radiated from the Goblin King but also a Dark-blue hue indicating its potential.
"The golden mouse is a magical ranked beast with a spatial affinity and your weakest soulbond.
The Bane of the thousand eyes wolf is a mid-guardian-ranked beast, that reached its limits according to the potential I see, while the Water serpent probably has some dragon bloodline in it because its rank is at the peak of the Guardian rank while the potential should barely reach the Lord rank and that death radiating armor thing, which is probably a Death Knight, should be at the Lord rank while it?s potential is also used up. Only the Water serpent can grow slightly, while all other beasts have used their potential completely up"
Jason finished and Shane could only nod helplessly. His assumptions were completely right, His soul energy was extremely high since he awoke his soul and with that, he had only formed soulbonds with high potential beasts, except the `Sly space-jumping mouse` as he needed a beast with a spatial affinity and this beast was considered one of the best, considering that he could only form a contract with a magical ranked beast at the highest due to his low affinity with the spatial attribute.
"That's great! With that, you don't even have to use Dalia?s physique to contract a good soulbond!" Shane said, trying to hide his jealousy.
It was already evening and Jason should go back to the Fler?s as they were probably worried about him, even if his Till called them.
He received a pendant with golden runes inscribed from Shane, with which he could enter the underwater hideout if he was not there and Jason went back with millions of thoughts tormenting his mind.
Too many things had happened in the last few days.
