Ruliv looked at Oya with questioning eyes, so she elaborated further:
"He he isn't here anymore."
"What do you an he isn't here? Did he leave the ga world and stay in your real world? I believe he told it was nad Earth, right?" Ruliv asked with doubt and disbelief.
"No, he isn't on Earth, he left here," Oya replied with so bitterness.
"What do you an by that?" Ruliv asked as he moved his chair closer to her as he added, "Is he at Apidon world?"
"No, he left the whole universe," Oya said it clearly this ti, which made Ruliv's eyes widened. Ruliv wasn't so random player, he was one of the oldest here. He had seen a lot, and his mind was widely opened on extre ideas, even those who seed impossible.
So, he didn't doubt Oya's words, instead, he started to think how Ibro did it. if Ibro managed to escape from here, then they could also do it.
"Do you know how he did it?"
"No, he just vanished, all I know he was taken through a strange relic site that appeared specifically for him," Oya replied while squeezing her hands from nervousness and sadness.
"Do you an he was targeted? Like those Pnroian monsters tried to do that?" Ruliv asked with so anger in his tone.
Oya just looked at him, as she knew that calling for those monsters were wrong. She wanted to correct him, but she knew Ibro would advise against this, so she stopped herself from doing that.
She didn't see anything wrong about telling the truth to people who were directly related to it, but she still decided to honor Ibro's decision and respect his call.
"They aren't the monsters, and I don't know who they are, all I know is that he is still alive, and that's enough for for now," Oya said.
"Sigh," Ruliv sighed loudly, "This kid, I an Ibro, was always unique. I have seen many different types of players walking out here, but none of them were like him, you included."
Oya wasn't upset by his words, as she knew she wasn't as good as Ibro. Ruliv looked to her as he muttered:
"I feel you are kind of lost, like you miss sothing, part of you, I don't know, I only spoke with you a few tis already."
Oya smiled as she looked at him while saying:
"I too feel the sa way, but it might be just ."
Ruliv pointed to a nearby chair as he said:
"Sorry I got carried on by Ibro's news, please have a seat."
"Thanks," Oya grabbed the chair and moved it sitting in front of Ruliv, who continued to say:
"I believe you didn't co here to tell this news only, right?"
Oya looked at him in the eye, she didn't know why but this old player was like so close relative to her. She took a breath and then said what she ca here for:
"I ca here because I needed so help."
"Help with your ga world, right?"
"I need to do sothing Ibro left to , but it's very tiring and costly, so I thought maybe I can co here and ask for help," Oya said.
"What do you need?" Ruliv said while taking back the parchnt again as he looked at it. Oya replied simply:
"Ibro told about a deal he made with you, a deal for helping you gaining access to this world, right?"
"Yes, he did have a deal with us," he then put down the parchnt, "Don't tell you want to replace him."
Oya shook her head as she felt strangely nervous as she replied:
"No, no, but yes."
"Is it a no or a yes?"
Oya kept silent for a mont as she tried to get rid of all those distracting ideas in her head right now, she didn't know why her head was full of these disturbing images that she didn't know anything about, and she couldn't tell anything from.
Most of them were about a dark gloomy place with no light or air at it. She could only spot a fog, endless fog there.
"Sorry, what were you just saying?" she asked with a lost look over her face.
"Are you alright, your face is strangely pale?" Ruliv asked with concern.
"I think I'm just stressed, or maybe because I lost Ibro, I don't know," she replied with shaking her head and looking everywhere like a lost.
"That's normal; I quite understand your feelings. Listen, I have sothing here that helped a lot when I lost my daughter a long ti ago," Ruliv said as he took out a beautiful necklace with a small heart like a deep orange stone. She took the necklace as she said with courtesy:
"Thanks, I really love it."
"Now, can you tell what you intend to do in Ibro's place? Do you know what agreent we both had?" Ruliv asked as he leaned back to sit more comfortable on his chair.
"I don't know the specifics, but he told it was sothing for the future war with the monsters," Oya replied.
"A war, huh," Ruliv nodded as that was exactly what he expected before. He then explained:
"Ibro and I had a deal regarding the use of this world and other worlds resources, after all the resources here are very rare, unique, and precious. He had his share of the scrolls we made, and he could have so ores too if he wants.
Now, as he isn't here, I approve of you being in his place regarding this agreent, so do you want the scrolls or the ores?"
Oya looked at him hesitantly, which was sothing that didn't escape the keen eyes of Ruliv, who added:
"It seems to you didn't co here for either of those, can you tell what you really need?"
"Ibro had a dream to build a strong guild at Ihnasia city, his ho, and I intend to see this dream fulfilled," She explained slowly.
"So, you need gold coins?" Ruliv asked.
"No, not gold coins, I need to secure a way to produce enough gold coins for my guild," Oya replied.
"That's nice, and wise as well. So, you are here to find a way to maintain a stable inco, so neither the scrolls nor the ores would help you, so what do you have exactly in your mind?" Ruliv asked with a serious tone this ti.
