900 Bastard 2 (1/2)

Just as Dyon was being serious, his hand suddenly brushed against the side boob of Ri, causing him to grin.

”When did these little guys get so big?” Dyon wantonly fondled while teasing Ri. However, he was surprised when he heard a moan calm from her lips at his touch.

Ri, slightly embarrassed, slapped his hand away. ”Focus, pervert.”

”Okay, okay.” Dyon laughed.

”Why did you bring up that guy?”

Dyon pondered for a bit, seemingly arranging his thought. Often times, he has a gut feeling of the truth behind things before understanding the true reason. It was almost as though his sub-conscious thought was too fast and too clever for his conscious thought.

”From my understanding, there's no exact science to understanding the title a person holds. The only way to confirm a person's title is through tower implemented systems.

”For example, a key wielder is confirmed as one as long as they produce their key. There are also specific events and locations that can only be accessed by those of certain ranks. In addition, there are pavilions and special locations which force you to provide credentials to enter.

”Aside from these things, deciding the title of a person is more like guess work. But, a fairly reliable method is testing a person's Presence.

”Dukes and below won't have Presences any higher than the marquise or, more likely, the Earl level. Kings however, are more apt to have high level Marquise and lower level Duke Presences.

”By this logic, of the six people on the King floor with you, 5 were Dukes. However, the sixth was impossible to see through, even for me.”

Ri's brows furrowed. ”Doesn't think mean that your title of God would be exposed as soon as someone tests your Presence?”

”Luckily I have this mask. If not, what you said would be correct. It has the ability to hide everything from my face, to my cultivation, to even the objects connected to me. It's quite a handy supreme treasure.

”Also, I can manually decide how much pressure my Presence puts out. With a combination of these two, unless a half-step transcendent decides to act, most of my secrets should be safe.”

Ri nodded, but there were many other things still troubling her. ”If you can hide things attached to you, why would you allow the bandaged package on your back to be so easily seen through? It's quite obvious to anyone that a master level treasure can't be so heavy.”

Dyon grinned. ”That's only true for every treasure type but one.”
