Chapter 341: Meeting of Tempest and Gale (2/2)

With that, the three of them made their way through various towns and locations that had beautiful sights, with Rosalia hunting a few beasts every once in a while to whip up a meal for herself, given how she was an Animate that needed to eat. As for Eleanor and Argentum, they just went ahead and occupied themselves with other things while Rosalia was eating.

By the time they had taken about two days to travel, the three of them had finally arrived at the entrance of the Supreme Terra Firma Inheritance with relaxed and delighted expressions all around by the time the sun was at its peak.

Snapping her fingers, the three of them were taken to the inside of the majestic castle made out of earth in front of them, appearing inside a room complete with the amenities an Animate could ever have a few seconds later.

Naturally, this was the place where Rosalia would go and rest. What one would not expect is that this place was also the place where Rosalia would moderate the inheritance, modifying it as she deemed fit for every potential inheritor that entered. At the very instant they appeared in the room, Rosalia pointed towards the bed she would normally sleep on and said to the two, ”Make yourselves comfortable for now. Would you like any drinks or snacks to munch on…”

”Ah, right. You two don't need to do that,” Rosalia lightly chuckled at her own joke for a bit as she continued, ”Well, give me a minute or two. Let me just change into some better clothes.”

In response, the two of them lightly nodded as Rosalia opened up a corridor that led to another portion of the inheritance, leaving Eleanor and Argentum to themselves. Deciding to sit down on the bed, Argentum looked at Eleanor and asked her, ”So…how did you become friends with her?”

”Long story short, we became friends while we were fighting,” Eleanor replied succinctly before asking, ”Surprising that I know an Animate, no?”

”Not really,” Argentum slightly shook his head as he replied. ”To be honest, I expected you to know more Animates at your level of power.”

”To be honest, me as well,” Eleanor said in response as she let out a light peal of laughter. Not long after, Argentum let out a bit of laughter as well.

After that, the two of them continued to talk about certain stuff, like how Herellia and Blob were doing in the inheritance, what Eleanor was planning to do with the Heaven's Flame Potions, and so on. Around five minutes into their conversation, a corridor into the room the two were in was opened, revealing Rosalia, who was wearing clothes that were more on the casual side.

”Shall we tour my inheritance?” Rosalia looked at the two with a light smile and asked. Eleanor and Argentum looked at each other for a bit and stood up from her bed, tacitly agreeing with her offer. Just as they were about to start touring the whole inheritance with Rosalia as their tour guide, Rosalia looked at Argentum and said, ”I almost forgot to give this to you. Take this as a gift.”

Whoosh!

In less than an instant, Rosalia pointed at Argentum as a light brown dot appeared on the tip of her finger. This light brown dot then headed towards Argentum's direction, being absorbed by his body not long after as a notification sound resounded in his mind.

Ding!

'You have obtained the active skill [Scripture of Nature's Blessing].'

'You have obtained the passive skill [Desecrated Inheritance: Partial Ownership].'

'Huh. I can see that Rosalia gave me the first skill, but did it really take Melzarin that long to give me ownership over the inheritance?' Argentum could not help but to think to himself as he looked at his notifications. Although there was a chance that he ignored the notification while the three of them were making their way to Rosalia's place, he eventually thought that obtaining it later was better than never.

With all of that out of the way, they then toured Rosalia's inheritance. With great enthusiasm, Rosalia explained the purposes and the thought processes she had for the rooms she made for the inheritance. The bedroom she usually slept in, the rooms she allotted for the trials the potential inheritors would take, even the room where all of the treasures she used as prizes were shown to them without worrying about being stolen from.

By the time the tour was over, it was already nighttime. The three of them were inside Rosalia's bedroom, with both Eleanor and Argentum sitting on the ground while Rosalia gasped for air as she laid down on her bed. With her talking nonstop throughout the tour, it wasn't surprising to see Rosalia in that state, given how a corridor to the room was opened, revealing a Wind-based Pseudo-Animate carrying a pitcher of water, a few glasses, and even some snacks to munch on.

”Here you go, Master. A full pitcher of water, some glasses, and your favorite snacks, just like you told me,” the Pseudo-Animate said to Rosalia as it placed down those times on the desk beside the bed. In response, Rosalia let out a light giggle as she sat up and said, ”Thank you for doing this, Argento.”

In response, Argento let out a light sigh as he replied, ”You should really do this yourself next time, Master. I'm not some sort of servant, you know. I became your disciple to learn under you, not to become some servant at your every beck and call.”

”Just let me indulge in this feeling for once,” Rosalia said in response, only for her to become silent for a bit as she noticed Argentum was looking at her disciple with a hint of interest. In less than an instant, an idea was already brewing inside her mind, prompting her to inwardly laugh as she asked Argentum, ”Are you curious as to who he is, Argentum?”

”Somewhat,” Argentum briefly said as he felt that there was a high chance that Rosalia wouldn't tell her his identity since she asked him that question. Instead, what happened was the exact opposite, with Rosalia lightly smiling before introducing Argento to him.

”His name is Argento,” Rosalia said. ”Just like you, he's a Wind-based Pseudo-Animate. He has become my disciple for only one reason.”

With his interest slightly piqued, Argentum asked, ”And what reason would that be?”

Feeling that Argentum had taken the bait, Rosalia lightly giggled as she knew that Eleanor would react differently to her response. Nevertheless, she responded with what she had on her mind, much to Argentum's surprise.

”Well, to achieve Lesser Origin, of course.”
