While the green jade plate looked like so sort of a valuable piece of antique, it didn't seem like anything special, at least till this mont…
"This is…?"
"This is the identification plate of my old 'Green Earth Sect'!"
"..."
Not knowing what to say, I was quite confused, could it possibly be…
'A Sect rebuilding quest…?'
Just the simple thought of that seed like it wanted a lot of ti to just think about it, as for starting its actual, that needed a huge amount of ti, an amount that I didn't have…
"It seems you might have misunderstood a bit, haha…"
'Indeed, this forr sect head isn't like that.'
While the whole scenario till this point pointed that this native was just telling a sympathizing dialogue in order to make accept a very troubleso sect, but knowing this old village head, it was indeed unlikely for him to do that, especially after all the pain that he went through…
'The NPCs of the 'Lost Realm' aren't as simple as normal NPCs after all…'
"No no, it was just a fleeting thought…"
But the actual question was…
'What would its use be…?'
"Alright then, normally this plate would act as the cornerstone of the hall sect, the treaty that allows you to exist inside the complex network of sects, a simple acknowledgnt. Well, it wasn't that effective for our sect as it was still destroyed, it should have been destroyed back then, but as I left it in my seclusion place back then it was still preserved…"
'Hmmm… Doesn't that make it…?'
"Yes, this thing is pretty useless with the 'Green Earth Sect' being history at this point, but even this piece of jade still has one functional use… it acts as a locator!"
'Oh!'
"Due to the fact that the annual joint eting of sects would usually change place every year, being decided by the three great sects, the plate was enchanted to act as the way to locate it instead of wasting ti sending ssages."
"But how do you know the date of the annual eting…?"
"It wasn't fixed, but if I rember correctly, it's normally held within this month. Though that isn't a problem as the jade plate would normally shine once it's about 5 days before the date cos, it didn't shine yet this year, so the annual eting shouldn't have ended neither should it be too far from now!"
"I would really appreciate this gesture, but are you really ok with giving this piece of 'mory'...?"
"Just take it! All it brings is just miserable mories! Since you saved my grandchildren's peaceful life, and the whole village's then it would be better for you to have it, I'm pretty sure my wife would also agree with … true mories aren't restricted to objects…"
"Alright then, I will accept it with gratitude!"
"That's the spirit!"
'Of course, gratitude won't be the only thing you would receive…'
Half an hour later, I left the pondering village head staring at the setting sun, while thinking about the appropriate way to return the favor…
'He saved a lot of ti after all…'
`~~`~~`~~`
'Let's see…'
After taking a good sleep in the side room that was assigned to in the village head's small house, which was still better than sleeping on the ground, I played around with the jade plate as I confird my first repaying thod in my mind.
'I will have to make more use of the bandits the…'
The easiest but also the most effective way of presenting an advantage to this village was to further the ntal influence on the bandits.
By simply using the 'ntal Suggestion' branch of the 'ntal Possession' technique of mine, it wouldn't be impossible to make the forr bandits into the new village's protectors!
Of course, as the effect of my previous 'honest farrs' influence still wasn't completely solidified in their minds, it would be better to add this new 'village protectors' suggestion during my last visit to them before I leave…
With the first way that couldn't be implented just yet in mind, I had another way of repaynt that I wanted to give a try…
'Sothing for the village chief himself…'
Leaving the room, and heading to the bathroom to ready up, I soon left the room and went to visit the village chief once more…
`~~`~~`~~`
"Oh, Sir Lan, it's nice to see you visiting this old man so soon, do you have sothing else that you would like to enquire about? If so I would like to be of help."
"No, this ti I would like to be the one to help."
"Ah… you have already did all you could have for this village, not to ntion you saving the village one again, just those bandits help had already reduced quite a bit of our manpower troubles…"
"I'm not even sure if it would work, but please just let try this first…"
"Try what exactly…?"
"Removing the seal of you elental vessel. Wouldn't you want to stop this problem that's eating away at your lifespan…?"
From the village chief's talk yesterday it was easy to conclude that he wasn't even as old as he looked, he should be barely in his early forties, but he instead looked like a 60 year old man, not to ntion that he should look much younger if he was an elental practitioner...
"Oh… you an that… you probably could remove it, but it's better if you don't, I'm okay with staying like that…"
"Eh?"
"As a seal left behind by one of the grand elders of the 'Elental Blade Sect', it's said that removing it would leave a mark on the remover and it would count as offending the whole sect, I had so friends who offered help back then, only to back off once they understood the full situation, you are supposedly going to the annual join eting soon, so it would be even worse for you, it's better to just leave it be…"
'A mark that would invade my body…?'
"It would be okay to live long enough to see both Gran and Cloe grow up to be proper adults, I don't want to be too greedy…"
Seeing the bitter smile on the village chief's face, which seed to be his way of saying 'I wish for more, but it's better to be okay with what I have', it only made more confident!
"Alright, we are doing this!"
Malicious body invading abilities were the least of my fears, after all, the system's ability was even capable of purifying corruption! Not to ntion a puny sealing ability's rebound mark...
"Didn't you just hear what I said… you can't…"
"I can and I will, just relax and leave it for ."
"Seriously stop, your future is bound to be brilliant, much more than my destroyed past, I don't want to be the cause of another person's fall…"
"You think I would be afraid of such a simple thing, don't worry, I have my way of dealing with it, just relax and let deal with it!"
I was almost about to restrain the not really old forr sect head, seeing that he was this stubborn, but it seed like…
"But… but…"
It seed like his will to live was more than he thought himself…
"Alright, since you finally understand, sit in a cross legged position and let's get started!"
