11 Divination Dao (2/2)

”I know.” Ye Yuyan snickered as he jumped and followed the group with Nesilia following by his side.

”So about that trade from earlier.” Nesilia said with a snicker of her own.

******************************

The group ran forward following the blue trail for a few days, they took a few breaks along the way. During those times each of the members would pick a place to meditate for a few hours. The group stopped by a small town by the bottom of one of the mountains.

Han Yi landed in front of the town gates and behind him came Maven and Yunshi. Then after a few moments, Ye Yuyan and Nesilia came behind them.

”We'll stay here for a while. Yunshi will be following the trail for now.” Han Yi said as he turned to Yunshi who nodded in response. Then with the blue fur of Illathar on his back, he jumped over the town and went back into the mountain range.

'Hopefully that catalyst works.' Ye Yuyan thought as he looked at the fur on Yunshi's back. This was a part of the plan, Yunshi distracts Illathar and when it's all clear we go around the mountains and enter into the immortal graveyard.

Han Yi flashed a token with a 9 pointed star to the guards and they saluted Han Yi with fervor and opened the gates. One of the gatekeepers guided us through the streets of the town. The people hid inside of their houses with a few conversing on their porches.

I could see some children and adults guardedly peaking through the window to look at us. Such suspicion was not uncommon in an area so close of terrifying beasts. In a way, they live like beasts under the threat of death looking around every corner.

”Your Eminence! These are our finest quarters, I hope they are to your liking.” The gatekeeper said with his reverence unhidden. In front of us was a stately aristocratic home, it built from fine wood and various metals and stones which were crafted by skillful artisans.

”This will do Elder, we won't impose and will each take a room.” Han Yi said thankfully as he entered the building.

The elder scanned Nesilia, Maven, and I as we entered the building. The elder was someone from the Verulyim capital on standby. Both gatekeepers tend to be high ranking knights who have been successfully knighted.

Knighted warriors are special compared to regular Chivalrous warriors. They have been granted a totem that can focus their forces making them significantly more powerful. A knighted warrior was not as powerful as a true knight but they are on the path to becoming one.

Once they entered the building Han Yi inspected each room slowly, his perception focused on every crevice of each room. After a few moments, he turned to Nesilia, Maven, and I.

”Yunshi will be back in a few days, we will venture out then. Until then keep your conditions to the peak.” Han Yi said as a warning before venturing himself to the far left most room and taking it for himself.

”I'm going to go look around and maybe try some wine. Would you like to come with boyo.” Knighted Maven joked as he probed for a response from Ye Yuyan.

”Maybe another time.” Ye Yuyan said with a charming smile.

”Suit yourself, how about you; young lady?” Maven said with a devious smile.

”I'll also pass.” She coldly said

”Kids these days.” Maven shook his head and walked off into the town laughing uproariously.

”Ji Shu! I still want that information.” Nesilia proclaimed with a demanding tone.

”Song...yes I can trade for that.” Ye Yuyan mumbled to himself as he removed a scroll from his robe.

”I've already written information about my scrolls and their origin on here. You can also study it if you so wish.” He said coolly but waves of excitement seethed inside of Nesilia as she stared at the scroll.

”Are you serious?!?” She said hesitantly.

”An inheritance for another, a fair deal I would say.” Ye Yuyan calmly responded.

”Alright but all I can offer you in the initial stages of Augury and some of my family's history.” She said with hope.

”I don't expect any more than that.” Ye Yuyan said with a serene smile.

”Then here's what I have.” She took out a grimoire labeled ”Divination: Augury” and handed it to Ye Yuyan.

”Learn what you can but return it before we leave.” She said with a full smile as she took the scroll and went to a room near Han Yi and locked it. Ye Yuyan stood in the hallway by himself and couldn't help but be lost in thought.

'So this is your inheritance, Song Qian' He thought somberly

'Regardless our paths separated then and our sentiments passed with time. All that's left for me is fulfilling my heart's wish.' Ye Yuyan thought as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
