304 Broken Memory (1/2)

”Branched…?”

”Yes, as far as I remember, the organization that this coordinating seed belongs to, having stabilized his roots deeply within its power structure, is a major power in the domain that has a certain defining features…”

'Hmmm…'

”The most blatant one is that it's a power that has a lot of versatility, and they are highly branched in their power structure, which is also a major reason as to why the coordinating seed managed to slip into it easily.”

'This…'

While I wasn't really that knowledgeable when it came to sects, I already had a guess in mind, but I couldn't fully confirm before checking more…

I was planning to do some research when I returned anyway, after all, I still had to pick that I would join, as the choice was totally up to me as the first rank holder.

”Anything else?”

The somewhat detailed description gave me a general idea as to where I would be able to find the guy, but there was no pin pointer and background info provided yet…

”I… remember that his code name was something related to fire… I also think that he is pretty much just a rotten branch of the organization as it isn't fully under demons' control, not yet at least… and before you ask again, that's all I remember, I don't have anything else…” Sprout said as he shrugged, indicating that he really knew nothing else…

'That's pretty impressive…'

For an isolated demon-morphed human, it was quite good already for him to know that much, though it wasn't like I didn't have an idea how it wasn't that hard for him…

'It's probably that retarded Overseer's fault…'

It wouldn't have been too strange if that was the case, since it seemed like the Overseer loved to abuse him and have him do menial tasks and keep him around him, it would instead be weird if he didn't manage to pick up something or two…

Nonetheless, the last specifications seemed like they would be of help so by now, I finally felt that my losses in the base were properly compensated!

'Now I have to deal with this guy…'

Having received the important info seeds that he had, all what's left was auxiliary information which weren't that important, but he might come in handy later, so I was obviously not planning on killing Sprout.

'He was quite helpful after all…'

”Alright, Sprout, I believe that you have contributed enough to keep your life.”

I did want to start asking him about he turned into a demon and so on, but I could tell that it was a very sensitive topic for him that he might not agree to talk about even if I forced him, so I planned to wait it out for now...

”Sprout…? Is that supposed to be me? Do you really plan on keeping me alive…?” Sprout looked towards me in confusion, he was obviously still having second thoughts about his future.

”Yes, you satisfied enough of my curiosity to earn this…”

'For now at least…'
