Chapter 1345 - Aelrie
After some time, Rean and Roan concluded that she wasn"t coming back as Roan said, "She"s most likely not someone from Lanqueas Continent."
Naturally, Kentucky, Hurio, Rean, and Lilia were surprised to hear that. "How come?"
"First, do you remember what she said that Kentucky would have nothing to fear if she left with her?" Roan asked. Everyone nodded and waited for him to continue. "That"s the point. She had never said that Kentucky would be safe in Lanqueas Continent. If she was someone from the top ten powers, she would have mentioned the Lanqueas Continent. However, she made it seem like Kentucky would be safe simply anywhere."
Rean"s group had to admit Roan was right. However, Roan didn"t finish it there. "Second, everyone from the top ten powers always wore some sort of identification that showed who they were. Even those Void Tempering Realm cultivators had them. Aelrie had absolutely nothing like that on her. It even makes me wonder whether the agreement she talked about was something about the Lanqueas Continent or something else entirely."
"Last but not least, she said that we might meet someday in the Realm of G.o.ds. Not the Lanqueas Continent, but the Realm of G.o.ds as a whole. It obviously meant that she wasn"t someone who stayed in a single continent for long."
Hurio couldn"t help but comment, "However, she knew a lot about the Lost Star Realm. Doesn"t that prove that she"s part of the top ten powers?"
Roan shook his head in response, telling him, "She can subjugate something like that white raven... well, she called it a Star Raven, very easily. Do you think she would have any issues finding the truth about this place with her strength? She can basically travel all around this Lost Star Realm without a care in the world since nothing here can threaten her."
Rean then looked in the direction the little girl disappeared, muttering, "Aelrie Holamenor... it really might not be the last time we meet her." Rean then turned his attention to the surroundings before saying, "Kentucky, can you see above the twenty-meter limit as well as you see the ground?"
Kentucky looked to the skies after that. Although there was a huge pressure that made it impossible to fly beyond twenty meters, that pressure was invisible, so Kentucky could indeed see very far. "Do you want me to check the skies instead of the ground from now on?"
Rean nodded in response. "I really don"t want to b.u.mp into another ancient beast again. It was already crazy enough that we were saved by that little girl. I refuse to believe that we"ll be that lucky again, so we need to be careful against what might come from above. That Star Raven found us even with my Light bending skill active, so I can"t guarantee that the others won"t be able to do the same thing. After all, the first ancient beast we came across didn"t seem to have noticed our presence, so I"m in doubt whether it was really possible to hide from them or not with my technique."
Kentucky nodded after that, saying, "Alright. I"ll keep an eye on the sky as well from now on."
Nevertheless, Roan felt that something wasn"t right about that little girl. "Just what was that girl? She resembled a human, but the feeling was completely different."
Rean didn"t seem to care that much. "Who knows? It"s not like we haven"t seen other races that looked like humans but were different. Look at Hurio and Lilia. They look like humans, but they obviously aren"t."
Hurio scratched the back of his head in response. "Well, I won"t deny that, but I can"t talk much about it either."
Rean and Roan nodded after that. "It"s fine. Let"s go back to what matters. Kentucky, let"s go."
"Sure." Kentucky then turned in the right direction once again and shot into the distance.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Lost Star Realm, a small spatial gate appeared before a small little girl dressed in white came out. Sure enough, that was Aelrie Holamenor, the person the twins" group had just met a few minutes ago. What the twins took over a year to travel through, she was able to travel in a moment.
As soon as she came out, a voice appeared on her side, its tone quite angry. "Aelrie! I told you not to wander around on your own, didn"t I? Members of our race are too rare, so we can"t risk losing anyone." Soon after, a young man with an angry face appeared beside her.
The little girl"s expression saddened in response, saying, "But father, I found this realm a few days ago. Look, I even found a Star Raven inside. Once I show it to the others, they"ll definitely feel super jealous."
*Pah!*
*Ouch!*
The young man slapped Aelrie"s backhead after that. Even with her control over s.p.a.ce, she was completely powerless to resist or stop the young man"s action. "Do you think these small creatures are worth more than your safety? Sigh... that"s why I told your mother to stop being so lenient to you. You"re not even ten years old yet, but look at how many problems you and those friends of yours are causing already."
Aelrie complained after the slap on her backhead, "I"m gonna tell on mom what you did."
The young man couldn"t care less. "Is that so? Then, how about I go tell your friends until what age you kept wetting your bed. Let"s see if they would like this piece of information."
"No!" Aelrie immediately turned as docile as a puppy after that. "Sorry, father. I won"t do that again. Please!"
The young man didn"t believe Aelrie"s words even for a second. However, it was enough to scare her for the moment. He guessed that she would behave for a few weeks after that. "Hmph! We"ll see. Now, let"s go back home before someone notices you left."
The young man then touched the little girl"s shoulder and disappeared without a trace. He didn"t simply leave the periphery of the Lost Star Realm. In fact, he couldn"t be found anywhere near the continents surrounding Lanqueas Continent at all.. As to where he and the little girl went, only they knew.
