51 Two foxes meet each other (1/2)
”Calm down you madman. It was choice of that kiddo and his mission isn't something hard. I came here because that kid is talented and I hoped you could accept him as your disciple when he finishes his mission.”
Explained Zelretch to Xenos in hurry. Even though he was Administrator of Akashic Records and one of stronger one, he was nothing in front of Xenos. When Xenos heard that he stopped and started to search something through the Akashic Records.
”God-Devil System? Isn't that Akashic-Grade artifact that forged God-Devil before I killed him? Wasn't that thing lost a long time ago, shortly after he died?”
Asked Xenos in surprise. That was because he was the one that killed entity called God-Devil for stealing a fragment of Akashic Record and creating Akashic-Grade Artifact without any approval from the Akashic Record itself. What was worst he hid the artifact and it remained hidden until it was found out by Administrator Kelemvor. It was located in God-Devil Plane, which was a very special place.
”Yes. Now, look at this. This is a life of that kid and all his experiences till now. His name is Lucien Etras di Aeon.”
Said Zelretch as he took out the crystal ball and gave it to Xenos. This crystal ball was created by Jeweled Sword Zelretch and it recorded Lucien's life. Xenos took the crystal ball from his hands and started viewing its content. It took him several minutes to finish it and now he had a happy expression on the face.
”That kid is good. Who could think that when he was going through the test for Executor that idiot Kelemvor would choose random summoning. Ha-ha-ha.”
Laughed Xenos at Lucien's good luck. If Kelemvor chose some monster by himself Lucien would probably lose in an instant, but lady luck was on his side and his enemies were a bunch of dumb ogres. If he had only chosen something with a higher intelligence that could actually think.
”So what do you think Xenos?”
”Why do I have a feeling that you are using me for some scheme of yours, Zelretch?”
Asked Xenos in dissatisfied voice. From the start of this conversation he felt that Zelretch was scheming something, or to be more precise, Kelemvor was the culprit. Seeing that Zelretch was somewhat ignoring him, after a short pause he continued talking.
”I have two conditions. First, he needs to obtain God-Devil System within hundred years. Second I want him to go to that place when he is stronger. Don't think you could manipulate me only because that kid has my bloodline in him, but as I don't want to hear from you that I am a heartless creature, give him this book when he will arrive at God-Devil Plane.”
Stated Xenos and took out the huge old looking book and gave it to Zelretch. From that book could be felt huge energy and profundity. The book itself had leather covers and simple title, one-word 'Magitek'.
”This could help him with some things. But don't forget about the deal and you must persuade him to enter that place. If he doesn't agree to enter that place then I won't be doing anything and I won't teach him.”
Zelretch took the book and stored it away. He thought about the condition of entering that dammed place but he knew he would be able to persuade Lucien by using some tricks or something similar. He knew that book was a gift to help them conquer some territory cause Lucien didn't have numbers. Magitek technology was a very special one cause it combined together magical energy with science, giving birth to Magitek.
