Chapter 116: A Trace
Veronica talked for a long ti with her brother.
“So... you like your current life?”
“Yeah. I love it here. There are a lot of things to learn and a lot of things to research.”
He was always considered a genius back in their world. Their parents made it so he could study freely. As a result, her brother managed to beco a world-famous researcher. Yet Veronica was worried since her brother was too pure. Too innocent. He had never faced hardships nor hostility. She was always worried that soone might take advantage of her brother.
Limainu smiled.
“Don’t worry, sister. I love it here. The magic here is much more than the science that I studied back in our world.”
Magic was not sothing Limainu knew existed until he ca here. There were so things that magic allowed while science didn’t, and vice versa. Limainu loved studying both to create many things. He didn’t care if he was being taken advantage of. He was busy studying to satisfy his own desire. Besides, his organization, , provided everything he needed for his research.
The most amazing thing here was the .
Limainu couldn’t believe what he saw five years ago, when he saw Liviath producing nuclear energy by himself. He wished to study superhumans when his current project was finished, but he also learned to fear them. He was scared when his sister was asking Lagaope a flurry of questions. After discussing for a while, Limainu asked the question he first had when he t his sister.
“How do you know Sir Sian?”
“Huh? How do you know my brother-in-law? Oh, wait. He said he t you in Kerbal.”
Limainu was surprised. He heard his sister was married, but he didn’t expect Sian to be her brother-in-law.
“Yeah, I saw him there. I didn’t expect to et him again, especially with this kind of connection.”
They talked a little more, but he was disappointed when Lagaope returned.
“Did you have a good ti?”
“Yes.”
Veronica looked disappointed, but Lagaope laughed.
“Don’t be too disappointed. You should et him again next ti.”
Veronica looked surprised as she didn’t expect that.
“You look surprised. We just want our project to not be disturbed, and if it’s kept a secret, we have no intention to prevent Limainu from doing what he wants.”
“Oh...”
Lagaope did say that he worked hard for the happiness of the people working here and they were not slaves.
“We respect Limainu’s knowledge, but we value his creativity more than anything. That can’t be forced. We’re actually happy that you, Lady Veronica, appeared. So, shall we return?”
Veronica beca relieved and bid farewell to her brother and Lagaope took her to the Ra-Shar-Roa. As they were walking to the Ra-Shar-Roa, Veronica asked, “Where’s Sian?”
She was alard at her missing brother-in-law. Lagaope then answered as if he just rembered it.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Mister Sian asked to escort you and he left for so important business.”
“What?”
“He looked very serious... but don’t worry. I’ll escort you back to the Roman family safely.”
North of Usharan Kingdom, or northwest due to its large size, was the Great Desert of .
This great desert separated Taran and Usharan with its large land mass. The desert provided no good side to the Usharan, but it helped them in a way that it decreased the amount of border that needed protection.
With the desert in place, it allowed Usharan to focus their forces on the Great Plains of that was located between the Karit Desert and the Con-Tian Mountain Range. It was a huge advantage for Usharan who utilized the Kel-Rufens as their main weapon.
It was what allowed Usharan to successfully defend against the Taran invasion.
In the desert, there was a figure running through it at an incredible speed. It was Sian who ca from the Ra-Shar-Roa located at Chromata.
‘Thanks, Lagaope...’
Sian thought as he rembered what Lagaope provided him.
It was a small artifact that he used to co here.
Sian looked at Lagaope suspiciously.
Sian picked it up as he figured it would be useful and ca straight here. Thanks to the artifact, nobody seed to co after Sian who ca out from the Ra-Shar-Roa and ran. Truthfully, they wouldn’t have been able to stop Sian from running anyway.
‘I hope you are okay, Miss Stiel.’
The artifact had a few more useful features, which was a map. After a while, Sian was able to arrive at the place where Lagaope had found the piece of tal.
‘Dammit...’
Sian expected to find at least so trace here since there would be a battle-scar here if Stiel had fought.
‘It’s not like a mountain...’
Lagran or Kerbal still had huge battle-scars left by Sian. In contrast, there would be no traces in a desert. Sian only was able to find the place because Lagaope marked it on the map.
As Sian beca disappointed for not being able to find anything, he felt sothing blinking from his pocket. It was the artifact from Lagaope.
‘What is it?’
Sian took it out and touched the artifact, which suddenly began shining a light into space.
“Huh?”
The light that ca out from artifact was now portraying a human figure on the space in front of him.
“Lagaope?”
It was Lagaope himself. The artifact was portraying him and his voice.
“It even allows image communication? It’s very useful.”
“Right, thank you. But why did you call ?” Sian asked Lagaope.
“You are correct.”
“Huh? Will that work?”
Sian glanced at the desert, dumbfounded.
“Oh...”
It seed pointless to keep searching here.
“Do you have a way?”
