Chapter 840: Condition (1/2)

The reason Taran thought that it was a good bargain was that the guild could use this ability. Krune can awaken a Spirit ten times faster than anyone. Depending on the situation, they can have him awaken some big shot's equipment who really wanted to have a Spirit awakened. In exchange, they could obtain some benefits here and there. Besides, they could continue to study his method and might be able to copy it in the future.

'Of course, Krune's actual cultivation level is too low, so he can only awaken low-level Equipment Spirits right now. We will need to invest more resources in him to get his cultivation going faster. His cultivation speed is already quite great too. Perhaps it was because it had been blocked by the Calamity Laws for so long that it got lost now. Maybe in a hundred or two hundred years from now, he'll already be in the God Core Realm.'

With that said, Taran got in contact with the headquarters and passed his idea. Sure enough, it was a good investment, so the headquarters also gave its consent for him to offer Krune that plan. Without wasting any time, Taran went to see Krune in his working room.

Krune was working on a Six Godly Fusion Stars Needle, quite a rare type of weapon. Still, it mattered little to him what it was. Of course, quite a few Spirit Awakeners were looking at him, trying to figure out the Calamity Laws. Taran then pondered for a bit and decided to call his attention nonetheless.

”Krune, we need to talk.”

In an instant, the Calamity Laws around the Needle disappeared as everyone looked with unsatisfied expressions at Taran. Well, Taran was an elder of the headquarters, so they didn't complain.

”Oh, Senior Taran. Is there something you need from me?”

Taran nodded as he replied.

”Yes, come with me.”

Krune nodded in response as he followed Taran to another room where they could talk privately.

”Are you willing to work for our Spirit Awakener Guild?”

Krune was puzzled by that question, asking in response.

”But I'm already doing just that, no?”

”No, that's not it. Our Spirit Awakener Guild Headquarters wants to become your backer. In exchange, you will work on the pieces of equipment we tell you to do so. This is an incredibly lucrative opportunity for you. That's because the headquarters is willing to support your cultivation to the best of our abilities. After all, once your cultivation becomes high enough, you will be able to awaken much higher-level Equipment Spirits. The fact that you can keep a 1% success rate will be of great help for us as well.”

Krune was surprised to hear that. Full support towards his cultivation. That meant he wouldn't need to be afraid of running out of God Stones anytime soon. However, not everything was perfect.

”It is indeed a good offer. However, I won't be able to accept. I intend to travel around the God Realm at some point, so being confined in the Spirit Awakener Guild's Headquarters won't work for me.”

Taran was taken aback by that.

”Travel around the God Realm? Do you have any idea how dangerous that is? Not every continent is as peaceful as our continent. Some places won't allow any outsiders and kill them straight away. There are other zones where everything seems fine, but it might just be a figment of your imagination. You won't be able to tell that you got into a life-and-death situation until it's too late. Even so, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I strongly recommend that you don't leave the Zamuria Continent anytime soon. At least not before you can at least fly.”

Krune didn't expect the situation to be that serious.

”Is it that bad?”

Taran nodded in response. He wasn't trying to trick Krune into staying.

”If you don't believe me, you can wait until you can go to the Zamuria Empire's Capital and buy information there. They have quite a good deal of information available there regarding the hundred or so closest continents and the sea races' territories. From these hundred, at least half of them would be difficult for you to survive in.”

Krune couldn't help but ask.
