Chapter 221: The ritual in the room (1/2)

Shingi checked the weapon and tried to speak with the Spirit Child, but it seemed to be asleep. It seemed like the transfer took a lot from it, but Shingi could feel that it was there.

He didn't have time to test it out here, so he just stored it in his Spatial Ring. He wouldn't let Cheap Devil try it, as he wanted to let him at least one day of trying it. But, since they made it on the last day, he couldn't do so, but he planned to let him test the next one.

Of course, Volig wouldn't be able to make it by himself for now, but mostly because his MANA MANIPULATION Skill was still at early Base Rank. If he trained it, he should be able to make it by himself. Also, they made it so that it was an Adjustable Rune for all 6 Elements, but he could try for less, which would be less challenging.

Shingi had made some notes of the designs for him, and after making sure everything was ok, he was ready to leave the shop.

He asked Karemon why he and Aneta were away these past few days, but the Half-Demon said he couldn't tell him yet. He would learn about the reason soon, though.

Shingi didn't ask more questions, as it seemed it was something big that probably Marcy would report to him, as he had told Karemon that he would be away once more.

He went next door to the Blue Moon Guild's Headquarters, where Quick Thunder waited for him. Quick Thunder had the contract that Shingi had to sign for him, which he had already checked, but was too busy to sign. White Biscuit was also there and had informed him he had the notes, and Shingi planned to check them when they got back to the Tower.

Marcy talked with his students, and they had reached the next Ruin City and its secret hideout a couple of days ago. Their discussions were brief, as they didn't want to go over details about what they were doing since Shingi had told them Enerias World might work with the Dark Guild.

Shingi reread the contract, and it seemed to be pretty straightforward and removed the parts he didn't like. So he signed the two copies of it, and Quick Thunder did the same, as each kept one copy.

Then they were ready to head towards the Dungeon, but a figure stopped them. Quick Thunder was ready to attack, but Shingi signaled him to stay put.

The figure was a known member of Enerias World as she was also one of the New Gods, Ardent Scythe.

Shingi moved towards her, and she noticed that she was looking down to the ground as he detected her doing the other night.

As for her to be a spy, Shingi had thought about it, but he doubted it to be the case after all that help she gave to them. As for doing all that to earn their trust, Shingi didn't think it would fit Ardent's personality.

”There is something you want to talk about?” [Shingi]

She just nodded, as she seemed unable to speak currently, but Shingi wasn't certain why. He then remembered that Zhen was somewhat sad the other day, so probably something happened between them.

”I am kinda in a hurry. So can you just tell me what you want?” [Shingi]

She raised her head and opened her mouth, ready to say something, but then she stopped herself from saying anything. She turned around and started walking away.

'What was that about?' [Shingi]

Shingi then felt a hand over his shoulder. It was Quick Thunder's hand.

”It seemed like you are really the lady killers. I have never heard of Lady Ardent Scythe being one not speaking.” [Quick Thunder]

Shingi ignored that comment.

”Let's move on. We don't have all day to waste.” [Shingi]

All three had high AGI, so they moved quickly and made it to the Dungeon and Zhen's lab quite fast. But, of course, Shingi didn't mind Quick Thunder knowing about that, as it was expectable for White Biscuit to report at least that much. But in the contract he signed, a paragraph was added after Shingi's request that they would keep any information about the Dungeon secret.

He trusted Quick Thunder from carrying this part of the contract, as he knew he was a man that kept his word.

With the help of Zhen, they made it to the room, but this time they teleported them from the lab to the room right away. Apparently, Zhen could use his ability to cover a certain distance per week, so he didn't use it all the time. The week was coming to an end, and he had enough saved up to make it there and back.

Zhen seemed to be somewhat better today, but Shingi could detect some sadness in his eyes.

”Take this.” [Zhen]

Zhen brought out a rune stone with an unknown rune on it that Shingi couldn't appraise.

”What is that?” [Shingi]
