Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 499 Important Information

Upon hearing the words of that academy official, Lothur immediately understood his situation and sighed as he closed his eyes and relaxed a little.

He had run in a great hurry since he had arrived in the Three Great Lakes Region, taken many risks, and barely invested his time in things that were not crucial to his return. All this so that he could return in time to accomplish this mission relevant to him, Viktoria, and Elke.

Upon discovering his haste had been futile, he did not feel disappointed but sighed in defeat while also relaxing that he had finally reached his destination.

"So that's it..." He muttered as he turned away and waved to that woman in thanks.

"Wait a minute. You should go to the principal's office. He's looking for you."

With that woman's warning, instead of returning to Ice's side to go after his women, Lothur went to the academy principal's office to resolve that man's doubts.

...

Meanwhile, outside the academy's mission hall, Ice was surrounded by a hundred youths, but none dared to approach it.

That was so because of Lothur's unfriendly warning and the beast's power, which was frightening to most of these cultivators.

Beasts basically had only physical powers, at least for most of them. But the case of these beasts and body cultivators like Lothur were not identical.

Anyone could sense a beast's cultivation very easily because they, although they could not use spiritual energy outside of their bodies, gave off sensations of danger with their spiritual aura.

Every being had this aura, but that of some beings was more chaotic, making it easier to perceive. That was the case with beasts, which was why any cultivator would know the level of an 'ordinary' beast like Ice.

Since most of the students in this academy had strengths below level 12, no one in the surrounding area showed more courage than they should.

But that did not last long until Annaliese appeared there, having just noticed the disturbance in the surroundings of the academy as she was getting ready to leave.

As she approached that crowd and heard some comments with her man's name, she realized that Lothur had returned and ran to where Ice was.

"A 5th Revolution fox? How did he get that?" Annaliese muttered, but unafraid of that creature.

She approached that fox, attracting its gaze, and soon after noticing her man's scent on this creature, she asked people in the surrounding area. "Are there any beast tamers here?"

The people in the surrounding area began to speak more quietly, while the few beast tamers around felt doubtful about helping Annaliese.

They knew this woman was Lothur's sister-in-law, so what she had in mind would probably be okay. But still, most of them were just 1-star professionals. Thus, they were not sure if they could handle this beast.

Ice looked deeply at Annaliese, realizing that the soul of this human in front of it was not weak for the level she was at, level 12.

'What does she want?' Ice wondered, seeing how Annaliese seemed to be assessing it as she smiled.

"Second Miss Frost, what do you want? I must say that your brother-in-law has forbidden us to go anywhere near that beast." A beast tamer said this after considering that this would be quite an opportunity for him to approach such a powerful beast.

But still, he had to first appear to be being forced to approach Ice!

"Never mind. Do you think my brother-in-law will cause trouble for me?" She said as she looked in that person's direction. "Come over here. I want to communicate with it."

Beast tamers could use their techniques to communicate with low-level beasts who could not yet speak human language.

That was a necessary skill for taming creatures when they were at their weakest. So every beast tamer knew how to do this, and for this, Annaliese wanted one of these professionals to help her.

That person approached Annaliese and Ice with a fearful expression on his face but pleased internally.

He then asked. "What do you want to know?"

"Ask it how Lothur is doing. Where he has been the last few days and if he has seen other women." She said in a low voice.

That beast tamer looked in surprise at Annaliese, noting how dedicated this sister-in-law was to keeping her brother-in-law from betraying her sister.

He then began to communicate with that beast, first gesturing to indicate that he just wanted to communicate and then touching its head.

"Second Miss Frost, this beast said it is a friend of Lothur. They fought together..." After a while, he told her all the answers he got from explaining who Annaliese was to that beast and getting its cooperation.

Unfortunately for the students in the surrounding area, that individual said the basics about Lothur and Ice only for Annaliese to hear.

At the same time, Ice only talked about ordinary things regarding Lothur's trip since it did not know much about that and knew it was not good to talk much.

But that was enough for Annaliese to be able to find out that her man had not been with any other woman in the last few days.

...

Meanwhile, Lothur was already face to face with Luis, level 16, the principal of this academy.

"Lothur, what happened? Where have you been the last few days?" He asked after greeting this young man and noticing that his associate's posture looked much better than weeks ago.

Lothur decided not to talk about everything he had accomplished but to tell the truth about the basics. "To summarize, after a Transcendent tried to attack me in the Finn Mountains, I used a teleportation device that took me to the Three Great Lakes Region."

"After that, I found a way to return and avoid the powerful beasts in that place as much as possible."

"What?" Luis asked in surprise, not because of Lothur going to that region since he already expected such a thing. But because it seemed that the young Ritter had managed to avoid the many dangers of that region that hardly 2nd stage people could get back.

"How did you manage this? Did some high-level human help you and get that beast for you?" Luis asked, already knowing about the beast that had entered the gates of his academy with Lothur on its back. "Did you meet with Daemon?"

Lothur's eyes narrowed, realizing that this man knew about Daemon.

"Who is Daemon? Is he my father?" Lothur asked.

Realizing he had said too much, Luis calmed down and sat back in his chair, watching Lothur for a moment, wondering what to say. "I don't know. I just know that the human leading this area is named Daemon. Why do you think he might be your father?"

"A Transcendent beast in the area told me I looked like that person." Lothur said, interested to know what this man was hiding from him.
