493 Fifteen Years of Research (1/2)

Yale didn't have any doubt that the cloak was crafted by someone like Tofesh, but if that person had sold his crafting, he would have been quite famous, and that wasn't the case.

Tofesh wasn't very famous, but for someone who had yet to become a Law Master, his works were of too high quality, so it wasn't difficult to find some information about him.

On the other hand, there had never been someone similar to him in making clothes like that cloak.

The person who crafted that cloak should have done it to use it himself or to give it to his descendants.

Yale guessed that probably the person who gave the legacy to Gerken was one of that person descendants, or he was a friend of those descendants.

That cloak had protection, only people acknowledged by the previous owner could use it.

Gerken became acknowledged because he obtained the legacy, but for the person who left it to him being acknowledged by the previous one, he should have had some kind of relationship with the crafter although it was probably an indirect one.

”Thank you. This should be enough for now. If my main body is still unable to succeed, I will ask you to lend it to me again to investigate it more.”

Although Yale had several ideas after investigating it, without testing them, he couldn't know if he could succeed or not.

Moreover, gaining more understanding without trying to craft it first would be very difficult.

Gerken received back the cloak and smiled.

”You can come to see me at any time.”

Gerken liked having someone to speak who wasn't weaker than him. Yale was the first person who was stronger than him that had spoken with him like that.

”I will do it if I have time. Farewell.”

Yale's incarnation disappeared after finishing to speak.

Gerken continued to observe Ange and Lily while they practiced in order to improve their prowess using their wings.

After his incarnation disappeared, Yale started to work immediately on replicating eh effects of that cloak.

Fifteen years later, Yale succeeded for the first time in making a set of clothes with similar effects. However, those clothes, instead of hiding the presence replicated the presence of the surrounding making that the person wearing them would be easily be ignored.

It wasn't as good as erasing the presence completely, but it was still better than nothing.

In those fifteen years, Ange had almost mastered all the Laws despite not putting too much effort on her training.

Instead, she had been focusing on helping Lily to train because she quickly discovered that Lily's talent for training was incredibly low even with the help of the bloodline.

All wolves with a divine beast bloodline would directly obtain a Path that wasn't any worse than a Fake Origin Path thanks to the Wolf God's blessing, and Lily also obtained that Path after her bloodline became that of a divine beast.

Moreover, since she was counted as a beast due to the Path she was following, she was able to start training directly instead of waiting until turning ten.

However, she barely managed to reach the Novice Rank the day before her sixteenth birthday, and that was only because Ange put all her effort into helping her or else, she would have failed.

Lily was ashamed for her own lack of talent, but Ange never gave up on helping her to become successful.

Ange didn't mind slowing her training if it was to help Lily. When she decided to adopt her as her little sister, she did it seriously and was ready to put all her effort into helping her.

Lily had been unable to change to human form, and since trying to learn would have been a waste of time given the time limit to reach the Novice Rank, Ange decided to put that matter aside.

In fact, Ange decided to remain in her half-beast form to prevent that Lily thought about changing to human form.

After fifteen years, Ange hadn't changed the least, but Lily already looked of a similar age to her, but if it weren't because she managed to reach the Novice Rank some years before, she would have already looked older than Ange.

Despite her looks, she still acted like a kid around Ange, and Ange always treated her like a little girl.

Lily grew completely attached to Ange and was always at her side.
