Chapter 1713 I only know this much
Philip looked at Rean and Roan after that, telling them, "As you know, no one knows about your weapon intents other than our clan. If possible, I would like you two to stay here and spar with our older and younger generations to see if someone can awaken their own weapon intent. Libraia has surprisingly done it, but she won't be back just yet, as she mentioned to you."Philip also added, "Of course, I have no intention of forcing you to do it. But then again, I don't mind paying Divine Stones for your time. It's just that... well... Libraia was paying a little too much, so I will need to reduce the amount. That girl doesn't know how to save money."
"Does that mean that the travel to the place where that Minokawa came from would take a long time?" Rean asked in response.
Philip nodded, saying, "Yes. Even if you use our Jhiod Sect's badge to get to use all the teleport formations along the way, I reckon it will take at least three to four years for a round trip. That's not considering the time you will lose once you're there since you might really find something."
Suddenly, Sam decided to speak up after that. "Philip, since there's nothing else for Erla to know, I will take my leave. I want to get her up to speed with her abilities and work on her training."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGovin agreed with him, saying, "The same goes for me, Clan Head. I'm still on duty back in the Jhiod Sect's recruitment building in Lebgram. Now that I have delivered the new disciples, I need to go back before the Gileria Clan complains that I'm breaking the rules."
Philip didn't mind. "Very well. You four can leave now."
With that, Sam, Govin, Erla, and Min left the room, leaving only Philip and the twins' group.
"Alright, let's continue. If you decide to help, you will only spar with members of my clan, in which we have absolute trust. However, I reckon that your ability to use weapon intents will be found sooner or later."
Roan believed that as well. "This Jhiod Sect of yours is just too big. Well, the Jamai Sect and the other powers in the center of the Realm of Gods should be even bigger. Nonetheless, there should be no lack of spies running around from the other factions and even other continental powers similar to Jhiod."
"In that case, what do you want us to do if our weapon intents are found out?" Rean asked.
Philip shook his head, replying, "As Jhiod Sect members and especially the fact that you're part of my Yume Clan faction, no one will try anything with you. However, that's only when we consider harm. Instead, they will make a petition with the other factions of the sect, asking to let you guys spar with their own members."
Roan could already see that. "They will simply say that weapon intents are a type of ability that should be shared with all trustworthy sect members. That also includes their own subordinates and families. Even though you're part of one of the factions of the Jhiod Sect, you can't simply refuse the request of all factions once they ally for this specific issue."
"You're quite smart, aren't you?" Philip couldn't help but say in response. "Anyways, you're correct. It's all a question of how long it will take until you're found out or not. Of course, it's exactly because you have weapon intents that no one will complain when I appoint you two as my Yume Clan's representatives for the Jamai Sect's selection."
"So you were already intending to reveal our power regardless," Rean mentioned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhilip shrugged his shoulders in response. "Isn't that obvious? You are four outsiders. Do you think we send outsiders to participate in the Jamai Sect selection every hundred years? Of course not! We always use those born in our Jhiod Continent and usually right here in our Jhiod Sect. You would literally be the first two outsiders to take part in the Jamai Sect selection that's carrying the name of the Jhiod Sect. Without a compelling reason, there's no way the others would accept it as the slots are limited."
"That makes sense." Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky agreed with him.
Philip continued again, "Alright, now about Kentucky's case. From Ume's words himself, he came from Astonkay Country. It is located in the Vurasic Continent, Wesglo Region. We did send people there in the past, but we didn't find anything. With that being said, I can't guarantee you will find anything either. However, one thing's for sure. Ume was definitely not born there, so there might really have been a reason for his presence in that place."
Kentucky was satisfied enough with that. "Great! I'll definitely take a look." It was then that he remembered something else. "Oh! Right! Do you know where I can find the territory of the Minokawas in the Realm of Gods? I'm trying to go there."
Philip waved his hand away, answering, "As if I would know such a thing, come on. A territory with many demon beasts of the same race is definitely something you can only find in the demon beast territories in the center of the Realm of Gods or beyond their side. You will have to go there and check it yourself."
Rean and Roan wanted to know exactly that. "And where can we find these demon beast territories?" After all, that's the place where Qia, Calina, and company should have gone to. Well, not exactly. All that the twins knew was that they would be sent to the demon beast territories, but they had no idea if it was in the center or some other corner of the Realm of Gods like themselves.
"Hmm?" Philip wasn't an idiot. "The place you guys are trying to go is the demon beast territories?"
Rean's group had no need to deny it. "Exactly."
Philip pondered over it for a bit before saying, "Well, I only know this much..."
