Chapter 489: To do list (1/2)
”Oracle's Hill?”
”Yes, Oracle's Hill is the name of this specific hill.” Inos nodded, ”This hill is where the Oracle Maria, one of Geezer's faithful servant, is buried. Before she perished, she wrote her will in a scripture and it was buried with her. This place is created to not only remember her but also her will.”
”Just so you know, Oracle Maria is the first one to cultivate the [Crystal Sky Eyes] to its acme. Even the one who created the technique didn't live long enough to achieve that. Oracle Maria was in charge of logistics, when she's in charge, nothing escapes her eyes, not even Heavenly Laws themselves.” Astrid added, causing Raven's eyes to widen.
The ocular technique he uses, was something that the crown bestowed to him upon getting it. During his past life, this ocular technique provided him with so much help but it was just too difficult to make any progress from it therefore he wasn't able to display all of its capabilities.
In this current life of his, thanks to some lucky chances, he was able to make breakthroughs for the ocular technique, he even got to the point where he's at the higher stage compared to what he achieve during his past life. This technique had been a great help to him, he had lost count on how many times he's able to avoid certain danger thanks to it.
So for him to receive the blessings of the first person to cultivate it to its acme, is something that made Raven feel incredibly flattered, it also made him feel validated.
”The reason why you could see us now clearly is because her will approved of you. If you searched hard enough, them you'll find something that she left within you. Use it well and make sure to give it justice, or else the will of the oracle will give you a painful backlash.” Astrid added.
Raven felt a bit pressure from her words but he didn't mind. Even if she hadn't said anything, he was planning on doing just that anyway.
And even though he wanted to search that 'something' that Astrid was referring to. Raven decided that he'll do it later since he figured that the two still have something else to tell him.
”There are a lot of wills left in here. Remember to always pay it a visit whenever you can. Although this place won't hinder you too much from searching for the throne, its a good idea for you to at least have all of this will to acknowledge you. You won't lose out on anything anyway.” Inos came with an advice on his own.
Raven wanted to ask more but the two looked like they're not willing to say anything else on this matter, making him swallow his questions back.
”So far only the Cultivation Eden, Scripture Graveyard and the Monument of Stars are the only places allowed for you to visit. Rest assure however, that so long as you keep doing what you have to, you'll eventually get the chance to visit the other places here.” Astrid added.
”Alright, it seems that we're running out of time so I'll make this quick.” Inos interjected, he then looked at Raven and said: ”Partner, there are other major changes to the crown since you've no unlocked the palace.”
”First and foremost, you can only enter this place twice a week. It doesn't matter whether you stay within the palace grounds or enter the palace itself. Once you used up your chances, then you'll have to wait until next week to try again.”
This news came as a shock to Raven. This greatly dampened his mood since he could no longer enter this place at least once a day. That just basically means that his progress will turn incredibly slow.
”Don't sulk too much, Inos isn't done with his explanation yet.” Astrid said, causing Raven to look up.
Inos smiled at him and said: ”Time flow here is different remember?”
Hearing that caused light bulbs to lit up on Raven's head. Inos then continued explaining…
”Right. You can only enter this place twice a week but it doesn't mean that you can't stay for long.” Inos stated, ”Since you managed to restore the Crown to its former glory and you've come this far, it doesn't mean that you'll lose out on benefits.”
”From now on, one day outside means six months here. Therefore, two days outside is roughly equal to a whole year outside. Meaning more chances for you to get stronger.”
