Book 6: Chapter 418: Scout (2)
When Mia and Bella heard this story, they wanted to protest immediately. After all, they had been watching the events from the tower. They knew very well about the existence of the Celestial Beasts and also knew that this was their natural color. However, the both of them knew that revealing the existence of the celestial beasts would be nothing short of stupid, so they could only stew in the injustice of it all.
Dyon had actually paused to listen to this story, less because he was actually interested, but more so because he knew whatever story was being told would probably come around to bite him in the ass. He should probably at least be aware of what he was being accused of, no?
“Interesting.” With that word left behind, Dyon finally walked into the tower.
One way other another, no fighting was allowed in Sapientia City on penalty of an indefinite ban. Since he needed things here, he wouldn’t be so stupid as to kick a beehive. After all, this wasn’t the epistemic tower, nor was it the weak 98th quadrant. For better or worse, this was the 10th ranked quadrant among all 100.
The female attendant hesitated. It was normally a good thing to serve someone as powerful as Dyon, especially because he was allegedly a comet level expert. However, if what Brea said was true, it might be more trouble than what it was worth…
In the end, the young woman grit her teeth and scurried after Dyon, not forgetting to bow to the young men and women in the air, still blocked by Dyon’s array. As a new recruit, if she didn’t take some chances, she would never graduate from being a mere doorman.
“I- is there anything I can help you with?” Working up her courage, the attendant caught up with Dyon, staring at the floor as she spoke.
Dyon who had been looking around stopped, unable to hide the surprised expression on his face. “Oh? You chose to follow me?”
The attendant blushed, brushing back the sandy-blond hair. “Of course, that’s my job, Mister…”
“It could bring you some problems, don’t you think? Plus, aren’t I evil?”
“N-no.” The attendant quickly shook her head. “I think you’re actually quite nice.”
Dyon tilted his head in confusion. Nice? What had he done to gain that evaluation?
“T-the technique t-that Grandmaster Brea w-was r-referring to… Aside from white fur, your beast partners don’t exhibit any of the other signs.”
Dyon’s brows arched up in interest, giving the attendant a secondary glance. “So this Brea girl was wrong? Hm?”
The attendant waved her hands around hurriedly as though she couldn’t afford the title given to someone doubting a Grandmaster.
“I believe that Grandmaster Brea was just caught up in her emotions.” The attendant’s voice grew smaller. “She’s very sensitive due to her constitution… So she’s quick to protect animals… I believe your mask inhibited her from using her abilities to check the condition of the beast babies, so she jumped to the wrong conclusion…”
Dyon smiled. Truth be told, he was very impressed with this attendant’s observational skills. His mask did in fact have an ability that disallowed others from using their senses to investigate him. This protection extended to things in contact with him as well, so the beast babies had gained another layer of protection.
Mia and Bella nodded in approval nearby, clearly very much liking this attendant lady.
“Tell me more.” Dyon suddenly said. “What symptoms should they have that they don’t?”
“Well… The most obvious is reddened eyes and overly defined muscles disproportionate to their age. They also shouldn’t be able to sleep so comfortably… In fact, insomnia is one of the symptoms… Their potential is being agitated, so it’s almost impossible to sleep properly which is even more detrimental to their growth…
“Last… They’re too comfortable around you. Animals you forced something like that upon wouldn’t be able to trust any human again so easily… Not without becoming soulless slaves that is… But your monkey or ape had too much life in him…”
Dyon laughed, “If I didn’t know better, I’d assume you were the Grandmaster and not Brea.”
“N-no… I can’t afford the fees…” The attendants voice was so small that if it wasn’t for his body cultivation, Dyon doubted he would have heard it. Clearly those words were meant for herself and no one else.
‘Hm…’ This attendant couldn’t afford fees? That didn’t really make much sense… She was clearly a high level saint, yet something as simple as fees was beyond her? This was the 10th ranked quadrant, was it not? The combination of her youth, cultivation, and environment just didn’t add up.
Dyon pretended not to notice the stream of individuals with angered gazes that came in after him. Seeing their disheveled appearance, it was clear to him that they had underestimated the array he left behind.
“What’s your name?”
“A-Amy…”
“Amy? Okay. How about you show me around? I need 10 sets of materials for Constitution Awakening Pills.”
The attendant blinked. “Earth grade? Heaven grade? Or God grade?”
Hearing this question, Dyon laughed. He was only aware of a single kind of Constitution Awakening pill, not including the ancient grade version, of course.
Seeing Dyon’s hesitation, the young men and women who had followed in afterward secretly sneered to themselves. A supposed comet level expert stumped by such a simple question? In fact, Dyon’s next words only made their doubts intensify.
“Let me see the ingredient least for each grade.”
