MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 584 Four Pillars: Message

?

”Is there something wrong?” Slightly frowning as he had been interrupted, Valyrʼs expression swiftly went back to normal after seeing that Vera was who had asked the question. Considering that it had been a while since they last saw each other, and that Mystia was her mentor, it went without saying that there was not a lot of things that stopped the young man from agreeing.

Hearing Valyrʼs question, Vera shook her head. ”If youʼre talking about the camp for tonight, thereʼs nothing wrong. In fact, everythingʼs more or less done.”

”Instead, Iʼve come to talk with you regarding my mentor.” At those words, Valyr went silent. Then, after a while, he faintly nodded at her before telling the other three that the two of them were going to walk around the surroundings for a bit.

Urging Vera to walk beside him after getting a green light from the three, the young man thought back to the notifications he had received earlier before entering the Four Pillarsʼ Inheritance. ʼIs Vera going to talk about the notifications Mystia had sent me?ʼ

Ding!

Commanding the system to bring up his notification screen after dispelling it earlier, the young man swiftly scrolled to the notifications Mystia had sent him before entering the rift. With how the messages in each notification seemed cryptic and related to the Mystic Plane, it only made sense that she was the one who sent it to him.

[The Saintess of the Mystic Plane wishes for you to keep an eye on the seed she has been nurturing all this time. The Saintess also promises that you shall be rewarded accordingly once you return from the depths of the separated space.]

[The Saintess of the Mystic Plane shows slight disappointment at the thought of you not making efforts at communication after obtaining access to the energy of the Mystic Plane. As a compromise, the Saintess tells you in advance that the seed she has been nurturing shall guide you on the usage and control of such energies instead.]

[The Saintess of the Mystic Plane looks at you with a mysterious smile. Two messages from the Saintess herself has been attached.]

[Though I do understand why you would hide something like that, Iʼve already figured it out. In any case, since you donʼt want others to find it out, then I shall not share that information until you do so.]

[Then again, there will eventually come a time where youʼll have to come clean.]

ʼIgnoring all of the fanciful words sheʼs used in her notifications, she basically has three things to tell me,ʼ thought the young man to himself, with the last thing among the three briefly causing a bitter smile to appear on his face. ʼI wonder if Vera is going to tell me those things as well?ʼ

”I think weʼre far enough from the others.” After walking along the line that demarcated their camp from the plains for quite some time, Valyr stopped in his tracks and looked at Vera with a solemn expression. Sitting on a nearby boulder, he then began to inquire further. ”What did your mentor need to tell me?”

”She told me that I have to teach you how to control and master the usage of Mystic Energy.” Seeing that Valyr had made him comfortable, Vera sat on another nearby boulder to make herself comfortable as well. ”As far as I know, only I and my mentor have control over that energy.”

”However, she told me in response that youʼd know what to do when I told you about it.” Scratching her head, Vera looked at the young man to possibly gain a bit more understanding, only for her to look at Valyr with widened eyes.

Extending one of his hands outward, a small ball of energy consistently bobbed up and down as it hovered above Valyrʼs palm. Unlike mana, the energy making up the ball had taken on a pinkish tone, giving off the feeling that each mote of light making up the ball contain far more energy that a mote of mana could ever contain.

Plus, unlike Shadow Energy, it gave off the feeling that it could birth new things out of existence rather than make them disappear, only need the young manʼs thoughts and willpower to do so.

”Mystic Energy?!” Vera exclaimed in disbelief. ”How did you get your hands on it?”

”Letʼs just say itʼs a very long story involving your mentor.” Dispelling the ball of Mystic Energy, Valyr looked at Vera with a wry smile. ”Anyways, how would you go about teaching me how to use it?”

”That… Iʼm not too sure actually.” Hearing Valyrʼs question, Vera scratched the back of her head for a bit. ”She only told me all of this before the two of us arrived at the entrance to the inheritance.”

”Nevertheless, Iʼll try my best to create something that would allow me to effectively teach you how to use it.” At those words, Valyr could only smile, nodding as he asked her if there was something else Mystia wanted her to tell him.

Nodding in response to the question, Vera responded, ”She also told me that I would be under your care during our journey into the depths of the inheritance. She also mentioned that she would make it worth your while, giving you something in exchange once we leave the inheritance.”

ʼSo, more or less everything that I already knew.ʼ Faintly nodding in understanding as a response to her words, the young man expected her to talk about how Mystia already knew about him actually being a Harbinger. Though the way she went about telling him that through the notification was incredibly vague, with their infrequent interactions thus far, only something like that would warrant her to take on a more cryptic approach.

However, surprisingly, after informing Valyr of those two things, Vera urged the two of them to return back to the camp after noticing that the others were calling for them from afar. For a brief moment, the young man was surprised, only to let out a faint chuckle as he finally understood what was going on.

ʼYou really are a woman of your word.ʼ Nodding as he and Vera headed back to the camp the others had set up, Valyr thought a bit more about what Mystia was planning by having Vera join him in the inheritance, only to push all of those thoughts aside once the two of them had returned.
