1078 Dissimilate 2 (1/2)
He watched as Carthage left towards the distance swiftly, before disappearing in the faraway sky.
His heart felt indescribably heavy.
”It still isn't enough huh…” The Non-falling Level was what he looked up to previously. However, it was merely an unassuming, minor role in the eyes of others.
He recalled the unimaginably mysterious minaret that he had seen in Scarlet Snow Sect previously. It was the Fermium Cloud Tower on Planet Naga. Scarlet Snow Sect was a faction that was established by the Secret Technique powerhouses upon arriving in this world. Meanwhile, it was rumored that the Fermium Cloud Tower was the remains that were left behind by Scarlet Snow Sect during their glory days of the past. Many mysterious things were still left behind inside.
”Frost Hell as well. I'll go visit Frost Hell briefly first to awaken the Secret Frost Seed. After that, I'll go directly to the Fermium Cloud Tower before attending the ceremony!” Garen planned as such.
Looking at the Timeless Board in his hands, Garen once again sat down with his legs crossed. His joy of breaking through to the next level was diminished by Carthage.
The Timeless Board resembled a normal blue plate. Engraved silver lines on it reflected silver light, but he could not determine their functions. If he were to discard it at a random auction house, perhaps no one would be able to see that it was actually the core of everything within the body of a Level Eight powerhouse like himself.
Nonetheless, an item that looked so normal could actually support every aspect of a Level Eight powerhouse.
Garen dispersed all the Werewolves to continue protecting this area.
Meanwhile, he fondled the Timeless Board, gently feeling the silver lines on it.
After the Mirror of True Techniques was the Board Realm. Garen did not have any clues in his mind. He was not a true peak prodigy or a person with the highest comprehension. He was merely a powerhouse who had relied on the Hellfrost Peacock Technique's horrifying Devour ability to improve.
He had yet to even reach the Silver Mirror of the Mirror of True Techniques, much less the Board Realm.
The basic ancient Endorian civilizations did not have Board Realms. Instead, their foundations were purely based off the Living and Dying Secret Techniques. The perfection of his current Hellfrost Peacock Technique already possessed the Appraisal of Army Level powerhouses. These were the strongest aspects of the ancient Endorian civilization that was only second to the True Soul and Demon King Level.
”According to the differentiation of the realm of this world, the Mirror of True Techniques should probably fuse every part of itself to hatch and derive a new strength with qualitative changes. Meanwhile, the board uses some of the strength to fuse with the external world to achieve the effect of controlling a part of the universe's power.” Garen's mind related all of the information that he had obtained. He began to analyze and determine what the facets were actually like.
”Carthage said that the Timeless Board could control the Thousand Gravitational Force. Therefore, it's clear that my assumption tallied with it very much. However, the entire situation is probably much more complicated.” Garen did not even have the Silver Mirror now, much less the Board. After researching for half a day, he did not obtain any results. Instead, a somewhat strange flighty feeling stirred within him.
This feeling stunned him slightly before he gathered his thoughts quickly and stopped focusing attentively on the Timeless Board.
Beep beep…beep beep…
Suddenly, a contact request appeared on his Energy Machine Imprint.
Garen glanced at it and discovered that it was the woman whom he had met at the Remora Business Alliance during his earlier return. Her name was Sandor and Garen still remembered her gift of his Spaceship to him.
”So it's Miss Sandor. We have not been in contact for a while now.” He turned on the communication channel.
”Yes, it's been more than a year.” Sandor's face appeared before Garen. She was still as spirited as ever. ”Mr. Garen, we've found many of the holy tree branches that you needed. They're currently being sent to your Planet Scarlet Snow. Please check and accept them!”
”Just in time!” A smile instantly appeared on Garen's face. ”I was just thinking about it when you sent a message to say that they've arrived. I'll transfer the payment right over now.”
”No rush. You can pay later after you've examined the goods,” said Sandor while waving her hand. ”This is a small matter, but I have a minor problem here that requires your assistance for a while.”
”Just tell me what is it.” The other party had assisted him greatly and even gifted him a Spaceship. It was only right for Garen to repay her kindness.
”It's like this. My younger brother and sister wish to go to the City of Nagadako to experience the grand meeting of Energy Machinists. I don't know if Mr. Garen could…” said Sandor in a slightly embarrassed manner.
Among the merchants, those who were ranked outside the first ten of the business alliance did not even have the right to rub shoulders with the rest from afar. Meanwhile, Energy Machinists were like rich and imposing masters. A random Level-Eight or Level-Nine Energy Machinist would greatly surpass a merchant in terms of wealth. Mech Pilots who had yet to reach the Inherited Level did not have a position to brag about within the Energy Machinist world. They were unlike level five Energy Machinists. Hence, someone like her from the Remora Business Alliance was even worse off.
If Sandor had not come into contact with a sect Energy Machinist like Garen, she would not be able to even dream about attending grand meetings like this.
”The Three Major Metropolis will be organizing grand meetings at the same time so this won't be a problem. I will send someone from my sect to meet them. You can just send me the information first. When the time comes, you can contact my junior brother directly.” Garen responded frankly and gave Bainster's contact to the other party immediately. He shared brief instructions to pay attention to certain matters before disconnecting the connection.
He contacted Bainster to receive the Spaceship that was on the way delivering the goods and briefed him on the tasks and other matters ahead.
”Why haven't I seen Hillco for so long?” Garen recalled suddenly and asked casually.
A resentment look appeared on Bainster's face immediately when he heard Garen's words.
”My Lord, are you only recalling this now…? Hillco left a long time ago.”
”Left?” Garen truly did not notice it. He furrowed his eyebrows after hearing what had been said.
”Yes. You didn't like her the same way, My Lord. When she had lost all hope, she just left naturally,” said Bainster honestly.
”What does that have to do with anything?” Garen was speechless. ”Have there been any new changes over on Planet Naga?”
”There were indeed changes and major ones as well.” Speaking of this, Bainster's face darkened abruptly. ”Numerous small and middle scale sects have been completely destroyed but we don't know the culprit behind it. The Alliance has already called many meetings but no one has been able to take any effective measures. Another thing is that not long ago, Dragon Eye Sect was…annihilated as well.”
”Dragon Eye Sect was annihilated as well?” Garen's heart sank. Such quick speed! This was definitely not Carthage's work only. There were about ten more years between the present day and the historical Energy Machinist Extinction. So how could it begin now?!
”Senior Brother, do you think our Scarlet Snow Sect will…” Bainster's voice was trembling slightly. ”There have been people within the sect who have been leaving quietly. However, they are merely the children of wealthy households who wasted money to make a quick fortune here.”
”I'm well aware of this matter. You go and complete the task that I instructed. The other matters will not affect our Scarlet Snow Sect temporarily so don't worry,” said Garen calmly.
He recalled Carthage's mysterious attitude all this while. He knew that Carthage had nurtured himself until now because his true identity had yet to be exposed. Moreover, his relationship with the Red King was not revealed yet either. Once these layers and relations were exposed, perhaps the first person who would want to kill Garen himself would be Carthage.
