Chapter 514: Elven Abomination (2/2)
”Then I shall not beat around the bushes.” Henry's voice turned serious. He then pointed at the miniature table/telepathic device in front of Raven and said: ”Would you be willing to submit your knowledge on how to create that and have the sect test it out for you?”
”Of course it wouldn't be for free. As for how much Merit Points you'll receive from this, it'll depend on how effective this thing is. But that's only if you agree, I won't force you if you're not comfortable with the idea.”
Raven was momentarily stunned by this, however he managed to recover pretty quick and instead of answering, he took out a quill and paper from his spatial ring. He then started writing the necessary tools in order to create this communication device. He also wrote his personal inputs and every probabilities he have in mind before passing it to Henry.
”Here's everything I know so far about it.” Raven stated, much to Henry's surprise. ”Feel free to experiment and test it out. If anything, I'll be glad if I could help for the greater good. Of course, I won't refuse Merit Points if I could get some.”
Henry chuckled and received the paper from Raven. The latter also handed him the table he used just now so that Henry will have a concrete proof with him.
”Thanks for this. I'll keep you informed about the process.” Henry stated as he kept the table and the paper inside the spatial ring. ”Also, I've noticed that your Destruction Laws are at the perfection of the first concept. Not bad. Try visiting the Hall of Enlightenment, show this to the Supervisory Deacon and he'll take you somewhere nice.”
Raven received a small token from Henry and was confused. However, Henry didn't explain and instead said: ”Alright, I'm off now. I just received a word that the meeting will soon start. Rest properly and work harder.”
After saying that, Henry disappeared from the base, leaving Raven alone and speechless.
Glancing at the token at his hands, he felt its smooth surface and the cool sensation on its touch. It was a golden token with a violet crest and a small insignia in the middle that he had never seen before. It looked like an engraving of a flowing water but he can't be so sure.
Nevertheless, Raven kept it and would follow Henry's instructions.
Afterwards, he went back to his room and once again checking his body for any injuries he missed. After double-checking it, he sighed and was relieved that there are no risks to him anymore.
”I can recover my energy when I enter seclusion inside the Palace.” He murmured, ”But really, this is so weird. An Elven Abomination huh? This is the first time I heard about it.”
Raven's mind wandered about the recent events that nearly took his life. While he's not really in a real threat of dying, the sensation of death closing-in on him is something that he'll never get used to. Thank god his accumulations were deep, allowing him to save not only himself but a great number of people in Tartarus.
Needless to say, for some reason, he's a bit bothered by that 'Elven Abomination'. This until all of sudden, he remembered an important thing that Henry failed to realize.
”He didn't know that I bolstered the Concealing Formation!” Raven's eyes widened as cold sweat drenched his back. ”Only Jason saw me doing that! But it looks like he was in too much of a shock that he forgot about it.”
As realization dawned upon him, Raven's heart started beating faster.
”Senior Brother said that the Centurion Lancer had most likely saw us but didn't attack since it was disdainful of us. However, what if it really didn't see us?”
”What if it only noticed us when where running since we're no longer hidden!?” Raven continued with his conjectures and felt more and more startled. ”It felt disdainful to kill us…so it's possible to escape from it. If that's the case, then why would it attack us when we're fleeing?”
”The reason is because one of us is actually its target!” Raven exclaimed. ”It's can't be them, so that means it's me.”
”I'm the Elven Abomination?” Raven was confused but he suddenly remembered something that made him gasp.
”Old Master Tenrou's Blood!”
