Chapter 1482 - The Reason You Were Picked (2/2)
For some reason, upon hearing the turtle's words, Quinn felt like he needed to correct the turtle.
”Although the Undead king picked me, I didn't have this strength when we made the contract, and I was actually weaker than anyone here at the time. I still don't understand why he picked me.”
”The Undead king, I have known him for a while, a lot longer than the other two,” Genbu replied. ”He had been in this land for a long-time, and just like myself, he was someone who never left or formed a contract with anyone.
”He took his duty in culling those familiars more seriously than anyone, and if there were any disputes between those in his area, he would be the first one to solve it, which is why I was more surprised than anyone to learn when he had contracted someone. However, there was a rumour that he hadn't returned even though his contract had broken.
”Honestly, it's been a long time since he and I have spoken to each other. I would also like to know how he made up his mind to contract, which person he contracted with and why. All familiars have a desire, a craving, and it's similar to a life goal, which words can't explain so well.
”Perhaps it's something similar to humans believing they have a purpose. Energy is just what we need to live and for our world to continue, but the desire is something else. What I am trying to say is, that you must have something that is fulfilling his desire, or at least he thought you would satisfy it somewhat.”
It was a question that had been on Quinn's mind since he had been here, and it would have been a lot easier if the Boneclaw would just answer him.
...
Eventually, the group returned to the spot, and the whole mission was a success. Layla and Leo were the most exhausted from this adventure, and it looked like they might need a couple of days rest before they returned to action.
To their surprise, the Boneclaw was already waiting for them in the exact spot. For how long, who knew.
After getting off the horses and saying goodbye, Quinn first walked up to the Boneclaw and looked up to him.
”I guess you did what you needed to do?” Quinn asked, to which the Boneclaw just nodded. At least it looked like he nodded. Quinn was hoping that the Boneclaw would tell him what he had done, but his familiar hadn't been open to him for this long, and it looked like it would take some more time before he relaxed himself a bit more.
When Genbu and Boneclaw looked at each other, the two of them didn't say anything. It looked like Genbu wanted to say some words, but in the end, he just smiled, and everyone continued on their way. The teleporter opened, and the group found themselves back in the room they had left before.
”Everyone is here, right; no one is missing?” Quinn asked.
Everyone answered, and the Boneclaw disappeared, forming a simple mark on Quinn's back. Ovin did the same along with the horse, while the only one that chose to remain outside was Genbu. He had never seen what the actual human world looked like and was quite curious.
”Quinn,” Chucky called, standing in front of them, leaning up against the wall, and it looked like he had been waiting for the group for a while now. ”You weren't gone as long as I thought you would be; well, Sam would be glad to hear that.
”I have some news for you. The vampire soldiers, along with Ashley, have arrived, but before you greet them, Sam told me to tell you, Hayley is with them, and she wishes to speak to you.”
It was a conversation that Quinn wasn't looking forward to, and behind him was another female who wanted to talk to him as well.
