Chapter 153 - The Last Stand (II) (1/2)

That's weird. I am quite sure that the treasure of Serbal is an item, not a child. And besides, this kid seems to be from the mixed breed of the angel and fallen race.

The Angel race is self-explanatory as they are the beings with halos on their heads and have white wings and are usually capable of unleashing divine abilities and Light Attribute. They are basically what you call the holy beings in the game and are said to be always associated with the gods and goddesses though it is still not clear.

The fallen race, on the other hand, is the same as the Angel race, but they do not have the ability to wield the holy abilities and can only use dark elements and dark magic. They are also called the Outcasts as they are not welcome to the community of the angel race and will be ostracized by them.

So I was wondering how come there is one who is of mixed race. It is an obvious taboo to the two races and I am quite sure that they would try to get rid of this little kid before he grows.

”But how come Serbal is the one carrying this kid? Is he trying to eat this kid? Or is he trying to do something else?”

Although I am disappointed by the outcome and the treasure is not what I have expected, I decided to ask Queen Tanya for some info about this and flew back to the palace.

...

”This kid... so he pops out from the treasure you stole from Serbal?” Queen Tanya observed the kid in my arms who is still sleeping.

”Yes, that is correct, Your Majesty. I don't know what to do about this kid since I expected the treasure to be an item and not a kid.”

”Indeed. I would also be at a loss if I got this kid instead of a reward. However, I am not that knowledgeable about the angel race and the fallen race. I have not seen any of their kind here in Sandurk and I doubt this kid is a native here in Sandurk. Based on his clothes and his race, I can assume he came from the Luminous Continent. That is the only place I can think of his origins. As for how he arrived here in the Sandurk region is a mystery for me so I don't think I can answer your question about him.”

”I see. But I am an adventurer and I don't think I will be able to keep him with me. There is not a single place I can put him if I am going to keep him for now.”

”Unfortunately for you, I also can't accept this kid in my palace. I am not experienced in taking care of a kid and I don't think I can even properly give him some education once he grows up. So instead of letting him stagnant in my care, it might be better if he is in your care instead.”

Looks like Queen Tanya is not a good help. But I have no other NPC I can ask help with on raising this kid and although Lina is a good choice to help, I am not yet capable of going back to Resurgia Continent as long as the quest of the Pioneers is still ongoing so I am on a bind here.

Then, Atlas suddenly peeks out of the dimension which made me surprised since he can now go out of the dimension without being called out by me. I don't see it as a bad thing, it just proves that Atlas is getting stronger every day.
