Chapter 223: Rejoining the party (2/2)

”So, how did you guys do while I was away. I see that some of you have some new toys. ”[Shingi]

As he said that, Dark Shadow let go of Shingi's leg and started demonstrating his new piece of equipment by doing some quick kicks in the air.

”How long was it since he made them. ”[Shingi]

He asked this question to Syra, but another one answered him.

”Been only…. two days…. since they reached…. their current state. ”[???]

Shingi turned towards the source of this strange voice. It sounded weird, as each word was of a distinct tone like someone had recordings of different people and tried to mix them all to make their sentences. The tones used among the ones of his students or pretty close to them.

The source was Dark Shadow.

”I looked forward…to meet you… again, Red Eye. ”[Dark Shadow]

Shingi had apparent confusion in his eyes as he turned towards Syra for answers.

”He had been 'talking' like that for the last week. He seems to reproduce our voices using Air Magic, so he uses words he had heard from us to speak. I had seen magic like that in the past but never expected this one to produce one. ”[Syra]

Shingi had heard about magic to do something like that but never considered for Dark Shadow to learn how to use it since he wasn't as familiar with it himself.

Now they could communicate with each other more straightforward, which was good. However, with some training, he should have the ability to produce a voice of his and not use of others.

Shingi then checked Dark Shadow's STATUS and noticed that he had reached level 40, which was quite impressive considering that the exps he needed for each level seemed to be close to how much Shingi needed. Fortunately, they would start to earn more exps from the Floors to come, since the enemies there would be of higher level.

”Good job, Dark Shadow. ”[Shingi]

He patted his 'pet 'as this was his signature move to congratulate people he was close with, like he did with Annoue.

”So what about you, Hineko? You seem to have found some new recipes. Did you guys find a treasure room or something? ”[Shingi]

Shingi knew that there were some secret rooms on some floors, which were random places, and once they were found, they would disappear within the hour since the first outsider entered them. Those rooms contained many treasures, like weapons, gold, or even books of forgotten knowledge.

”Hm? Oh, we haven't been that lucky. Those, actually, were dropped by some guards we had to fight when reaching this floor. When we got to the floor, there was a squad of theirs at the same place, and we had to fight them, and one dropped this book with recipes. ”[Hineko]

The response surprised Shingi, as the chance for a player to drop something without him being a Red Player was relatively small. However, it wasn't impossible since he had made that chance in the past and earned his first Spatial Ring as his new self.

”Anything good in those recipes, then? ”[Shingi]

He didn't have the chance to read what was on those papers since he was too far, so he was curious to see what they were about.

”I am currently studying how to make The Potion of the Eagle Sight. ”[Hineko]

Shingi's eyes widened after hearing the potion's name, and he reached with his hand to get the papers that Hineko studied to get a look. Hineko didn't stop him, as he trusted that Shingi knew what he was doing.

”They… they are truly part of it. ”[Shingi]

Everybody looked at Shingi with apparent confusion, especially Hineko.

”What do you mean? What is it part of?” [Hineko]

Shingi turned towards Hineko and answered with a grin on his face.

”Those are pages of the Philosopher's Tome.”[Shingi]
