"There is one thing you must understand about the 'Big 4': they aren't set in stone."
Hearing these words e out from Sister Xuan's mouth, Daneel sat straight on his chair.
After getting to the courtyard, he had knocked before entering.
On hearing that he was here to learn more about the Big 4, Molan and Sister Xuan had shared a look between them.
Daneel hadn't understood the meaning behind it, but he had had a feeling that he would find out soon enough.
After sitting down, she had started the explanation in a neutral tone with these words.
"There is only one requirement for a force to bee one of the Big 4: to possess a Hero-"
"Sister Xuan! You mustn't!"
As Molan said these words in panic, Sister Xuan sighed and stopped speaking.
While Daneel tried to ingest this shocking information, Sister Xuan said, "You do not have the authority to find out about this information. I can only tell you about our Sect, and about a particular place in the continent where you can go to be tested by each of the Big 4. If they find you worthy, they will take you in, and that is when you would be eligible to enter our circle and find out about the true purpose behind the Big 4. Anyway, both of us are from the "Goddess's Sanctum" Sect."
Listening to this, Daneel first resisted the urge to glare at Molan. Clearly, Sister Xuan had been about to tell him something he wasn't supposed to know.
Although he was curious about why she had wanted to do so, his thirst for knowledge had been stoked and it now demanded answers.
Sadly, it seemed that he wouldn't have the chance to obtain as many as he had hoped.
Raising a hand to interrupt her, he first asked a question that had been bugging him since the old man had died.
"One second. First, tell me about something. According to the old man whom your Matron killed, some people from the Big 4 were the ones who had given the deal to grow the Echer Seeds. On successfully growing them, two people were going to be allowed to learn their spell technique at their sect. The deceased Black Raven King even said that they had municated with him and said that they would e soon with trinkets that the candidates could use to go to their sect. Was this fake? Or could the offer have been real?"
For a few seconds after Daneel told them about the deal, there was silence.
As he watched on with confusion and even a little annoyance, Molan turned to Sister Xuan and the both of them shared a look before laughing.
Molan was the one who laughed the hardest, as if she had heard the ramblings of some child.
As for Sister Xuan, she only chuckled before seeing the look on Daneel's face and immediately saying, "Please forgive us. It is just that…just the notion that one of the Big 4 would be willing to share a spell technique with you for the growing of some low-grade Energy materials is so... ridiculous. Let me explain."
Seeing that Daneel's annoyance was only growing due to the grating laugh of Molan's that was still resounding in his ears, Sister Xuan quickly cast a spell which made water appear around Molan's mouth, sealing it.
Sputtering, Molan angrily said "Sister!
