Chapter 1128: Cap 1126: What Comes Out Of The Cocoon? Part 2

I was in my bed when I woke up, I have part of my ear literally ripped off by Karina, and Ibuki at some point also got into my bed. 

I did my best not to scream as I waited for the wound to heal, after which I got up and left them on the bed while I went to do some light exercise. 

After a few hours, I went to talk to Karina who spoke about the success of the second Dragon Seal with the equivalent power of 50, I was happy to know that everything worked out yesterday. 

I had already managed to take a look at my physical condition and it looks like I'm fine, luckily I can recover quickly from this kind of energy depletion. 

I take the two Dragon Seals in Karina's hands and go with her to the Dragon Temple, the time has come to move on to the next phase of the plan, I called Karina, Vanessa, and my Sisters to take a look at me. 

I knew there would be risks, but I'm pretty sure that no kind of life-threatening will ever happen to me, which is why I dared to do something so reckless. 

Convincing everyone of what I was doing was a bit of work, but I'm glad I did it. 

I was close to using my Synthesis skill, it's been a long time since I've done that, but now I want to use this unique skill to fuse those 2 Dragon Seals into just 1.

Pov Orsel: 

I walked from the Long Distance Communications room to my private room, which happened to be a lot closer to everything else in this place. 

Fortunately, few people come here, which allows me to almost monopolize this place for myself. 

As soon as I entered my office I saw my guest, as soon as I looked at him my magic item turned off, luckily I still have my Aura to collect some tips. 

"(He interfered with the reading and analysis of the magic item, but how did he do that without me noticing?)" (I) 

"(His Aura is also totally normal, but clearly that Aura isn't true, in fact, it's almost like a magic item Aura so lifeless that Aura looks, he's hiding his true Aura.)" (I) 

"I'm sorry for the delay, but I wasn't expecting visitors." (I) 

"I believe this is our first meeting so let me start, my name is Orsel." (I) 

"My name is Marlon, nice to meet Commander of General Defense Affairs." (Marlon) 

"(We both exchanged names, he behaves well but his movements are kind of weird, he must be nervous and just trying to look calm, I remember doing the same thing when I got here for the first time.)" (I) 

I wave him down on one of the couches inside the office, my desk doesn't have a chair for me to sit on. 

"I heard you asked to speak directly to me, is that true?" (I) 

"Yes, I've heard that outside of fighting, you take up various types of administrative jobs for Frontier City." (Marlon) 

"Unfortunately yes, most people in leadership are very focused on combat situations, there are few with the ability to manage this place." (I) 

"They have no idea how much maintenance work, material collection, resource allocation..." (I) 

I started complaining about various things, but it was just an act, while I started talking about unimportant things I was trying to analyze the person in front of me more. 

This is my office, the Weapons, and Hidden Spells number was something I worked for years to create, there are also many ways to analyze it if I wanted to, but it would expose the secrets of this office. 

So I'm trying to get a preliminary idea of the person in front of me. 

He has white skin, but it's clearly not his true skin tone, his body coloring is slightly different, normal people might not notice, but fooling my eyes is not so easy. 

Even if I say that, I can see that it's not an illusion, at least not one I can see through, the greater possibility is perhaps that it was the result of something drastically affecting his body, an illness, Curse, or some kind of potion. 

Saying that his skin changed color doesn't mean any risk, I moved on to his eyes, the first things I saw as soon as I entered and clearly are magic items. 

His eyes may look perfectly normal, but his golden iris behaves strangely with the pupils expanding and shrinking in size, it doesn't look natural and I don't see the gleam in his eyes that normally conveys some feeling, even if it's indifference, but the his eyes are simply devoid of all emotion, which goes against what I see of the rest of his body. 

I've tried to create a peephole before, unfortunately, I decide it's not worth it, but this one seems to be done differently than I tried. 

I kept looking at his short brown hair, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about it, what caught my attention were his limbs, especially his legs, the weight of each leg is slightly different. 

Even if he was analyzing them I'm sure he's doing the same to me, I don't know how much he knows about me, but I can't help but think this guy is very suspicious. 

I used my glasses as a magic item to connect to the rest of the base, so I was able to view our files and use my mind to analyze everything I have on him. 

Doing all these things without showing it is exhausting, especially with someone so suspicious. 

But no matter how hard I look, I don't see any records of him arriving in this place, nor was there any mention that he was ever here or connected with anyone here. 

"(He doesn't know that I already found out about him, what should I do? Kill him or maybe capture him?)" (I) 

"Mister Orsel, I'm not here for that kind of talk." (Marlon) 

"I should apologize, it seems I've taken up too much time with my complaints." (I) 

"But you know, I would really like to know, how did you get into town?" (I) 

"With great difficulty, I assure you, your defenses are very good, perhaps this is the only time I will be able to take advantage of this breach in your security, that's why I came straight here." (Marlon) 

"..." (I) 

He looked straight at me, but there's little I can see in empty eyes like his. 

"I am not your enemy, I don't want to do anything against this city or this world, in fact, I came to warn you in hopes of forming an alliance." (Marlon) 

"You talk about alliance but you hide a lot of things and even if that's true this is not the kind of decision I can make." (I) 

"But you're the only one who would listen to what I'm saying without attacking." (Marlon) 

Can't argue with that, the others would have killed or captured him without a second thought, he's too suspicious to believe anything he says, but it might still be useful if you let him talk before doing anything to him. 

"You spoke of danger, could you be clearer?" (I) 

"I'm just the messenger, my knowledge of the subject is superficial, I'm just here to arrange a meeting if you accept." (Marlon) 

"Meeting with who?" (I) 

"With those of our leadership, like you, I don't have the power to decide anything where I am, but I'm good at talking to people." (Marlon) 

"I know how suspicious I look to you, so if you want, you can arrange the meeting wherever you want, it could be in this city, in the world below, or anywhere you choose." (Marlon) 

"You seem very relaxed making such a bad proposition for you guys." (I) 

"I know how suspicious I am and I was ordered to do things this way, my leader knows it's hard to trust us, so she's giving you all the advantages you want for this meeting to happen." (Marlon) 

"That seems a little reckless to say the least." (I) 

"My leader only has 3 requests that shouldn't be difficult to fulfill." (Marlon)

Pov Zenos: 

I was sitting drinking a big barrel of blood to replenish my vitality, this time all my energies, Aura, Holy Power, Authority, and even most of my vitality was used to complete this synthesis, but I managed. 

I was having my body healed from the countless wounds that arose on my body from this effort, but that was a price I was willing to pay to complete this project. 

I look at the Seal of the Dragon that Karina is studying, this time the crystal had the shape of my Coat of Arms, with a difference, there really was a starry sky lived inside the crystal, and the Aura that emanated was my commitment, the power of Light became becoming secondary. 

All this not counting the size of the seal that is now bigger than my entire body, I see Karina come back to me with a smile on her face. 

"No problem, that's still a Dragon Seal and can be controlled like one, but the energy expenditure to use it..." (Karina) 

"I should have thought of that..." (I)
