Chapter 375: Returning to the Flame Spirit Inheritance (2/2)

With his goal after coming to the Heaven's Gust Inheritance now achieved, as well as obtaining a bit extra out of it, Argentum decided to head back to the Flame Spirit Inheritance to talk with Felix and Eleanor about distributing a part of their Heaven's Element potions to Helios.

With that, he looked at Rosalia and lightly nodded, to which Rosalia looked back at Argentum and nodded as well in response. Soon after, both of them looked at Helios as Rosalia started to speak, telling Helios, ”Well, we've obtained all of what we need from you, Helios. We apologize for disturbing your beauty sleep, but I still want to thank you for helping Argentum out. Anyways, we shall now take our leave.”

Just as they were about to turn around and head out of the inheritance, Helios stopped them as he asked them, ”Where are you going to head after this?”

This time, Argentum was the one to answer his question, responding, ”The Flame Spirit Inheritance. We did talk about how Felix and Eleanor would have to distribute some of their potions to you, so we're going to do that as soon as we leave your inheritance.”

”Flame Spirit Inheritance? Eleanor's inheritance?” Helios muttered in response, only to go silent as the two were left in slight confusion. Soon after, he snapped his fingers, changing the sleepwear he was wearing into a set of casual outdoor clothes that would definitely make him stand out amongst the masses.

”Since I haven't gone out in a while to meet up with the others, how about I, the great Tempest King, be magnanimous once more and accompany you two to where Eleanor is?” Helios said after he changed his clothes, prompting Rosalia and Argentum to look at each other in silence for a while.

”Sure, why not.” Rosalia shrugged her shoulders, waiting to see what response Argentum would give, only to see that he shrugged his shoulders as well, telling her non-verbally that he did not care if he came along or not. He was now a benefactor of Verdant Breeze Town, after all.

And with that, the three of them left the Heaven's Gust Inheritance as a group. At the very moment they appeared at the entrance of the inheritance, Helios then went ahead and enveloped all of them into a cocoon of Wind energy particles as they quickly made their way to where the Flame Spirit Inheritance was located.

…

By the time they had arrived at the entrance of the Flame Spirit Inheritance, the moon was about halfway to setting. With that, one could already guess as to how quick Argentum had cleared the three trials that Helios had given him for no reason.

As the cocoon of Wind energy particles surrounding the three of them gradually dissipated, Argentum went ahead and circulated a bit of his energy to form a connection with Eleanor. In the meantime, he could not help but recall how quickly they traveled through the continent with Helios's mastery over the Wind element.

Although in terms of speed, Aurus's ability to teleport was still better in his mind, Argentum had an urge to ask Helios about his movement skill once he had finished talking with Felix and Eleanor about the distribution of Heaven's Element potions.

”Oh, Argentum! You're already back?” It did not take long for Eleanor to respond to Argentum's request to form a connection, initiating the conversation with a question.

”Well, it took a while to convince Helios to accept, but we still did it,” Argentum said in response, to which Eleanor said, ”That's great!”

”I suppose you want me to have you and Rosalia enter the inheritance, right? Give me a second,” she said not long after, only to go silent for a bit before asking Argentum, ”Er…from what I could sense with my energy, there's another being with you two. Is that…?”

”The man himself.” Argentum said in response, letting out a sigh soon after.

”…could you just give a minute?” Eleanor said, to which Argentum responded that he did not mind. Fortunately, that one minute only took about 30 seconds or so as Argentum and the others were soon transported into the insides of the Flame Spirit Inheritance.

Whoosh!

As the three of them had appeared the center of Eleanor's room, what Argentum and the others could see at first glance was Felix and Eleanor sitting on a pair of chairs in a menacing fashion. Well, to be more exact, only Eleanor was radiating a menacing aura. Felix, on the other hand, just looked at the three of them with a light smile…though an awkward aura could be perceived from him.

”How have you been, Helios?” Felix asked, to which Helios responded with a light nod, ”I've been well, Felix. It's nice meeting you again.”

”It's nice to meet you again as well,” Felix said in response before going silent. With that conversation now done, Helios then redirected his gaze towards Eleanor, who was looking at him with a menacing gaze.

At this point, Rosalia and Argentum had already distanced themselves from Helios as they could not help but feel that Eleanor's menacing aura might turn tangible at any moment.

As for Helios, after sensing that menacing aura, he could not help but let out a sigh and ask Eleanor, ”Are you still mad at me because of that fight from back then? If so, I'd suggest you don't think about it anymore. There's no point fighting against each other again.”

”Oh, that's not what I'm thinking about,” Eleanor said in response, her tone cold.

”Then, what are you thinking about?” Helios, naturally, was curious.

”Well…” As she said this, a hint of rage could be heard from her tone as she continued, ”Can you tell us why you decided only now to meet up with us even though we've invited you multiple times before?”

”Er…” Surprisingly, Helios let out a bit of cold sweat from that question, prompting Felix, Rosalia, and even Argentum to look at the two with curiosity, wondering if there was something going on between the two of them that they did not know.

'Unlike the thing with Melzarin, it seems this one has more substance,' Argentum could not help but think as he looked at the current situation.

Unfortunately for the three of them, Helios did not delve into it as he perfunctorily said, ”I was just…busy…with matters.”

Seeing as how Helios did not delve into their past, Eleanor could not help but let out a light sigh as she finally looked at Argentum and asked, ”So, I presume Helios is here because of something, right?”

”Ah.” Hearing his name being called, Argentum finally recalled why he had returned to the Flame Spirit Inheritance.

Nodding, he replied, ”Although Helios came along with us two for no reason, he does have an involvement in the topic I'm going to talk about.”

”Let's talk about the distribution of Heaven's Element potions.”
