Last Wish System

Chapter 102: Origin Orb

Yale faced Tar and replied to him.

“Indeed, I remember some things about your master, but I shouldn’t say them here. If you want to know it, we can talk alone later.”

Tar was the only human alive who Yale knew that had met his past life, so he wanted to have a good talk to him, but he didn’t plan to do it in front of all the elders.

Hearing Yale’s serious voice, Tar nodded as he believed that Yale knew things that shouldn’t be told in public, he himself as Zuatania’s disciple knew information that no one else possessed.

“Well, let’s talk later about that topic. Now you can go to the artifact and touch it. Your item should appear automatically.”

That artifact was a special type of spatial storage item, which had the capacity to store things that could only be retrieved by the rightful owners of the items. That was the best security in the whole Zuatania Republic to keep an item safe as no one else would be able to take off the deposited item.

With that storage system, it was obvious why his past life had chosen to ask Zuatania to put the item there.

Yale guessed that the key to recognizing him was the Space-time Judgment Sword because Yale doubted that the artifact could identify souls as if the artifact worked only with souls, the only way a kid who had never been there would be able to retrieve an item would be that the kid stored something in his past life.

Yale’s guess was correct. When storing something in that artifact, the item was linked to some physical key, souls couldn’t be used, but the key could be the body making that if the one who stored it died the item would be impossible to take out.

However, using a soul-bound item as a key would ensure that only the owner’s soul would be able to retrieve it.

Yale put his hand in the artifact, and a small orb appeared in his hand.

Everyone was observing the scene as they were curious about the item that had been stored for such a long time, but they were unable to tell what the small orb was.

Yale also was clueless, but he used appraisal on it.

“Origin Orb: Improve the body compatibility with the Origin Path and boost the Origin Qi. Can only be used by people who practiced the Origin Path.”

Yale smiled as that Origin Orb was something that he needed without any doubt. Improving the compatibility with the Origin Path meant that his practice would turn easier after using the orb.

Yale stored the Origin Orb in one of his spatial rings; he planned to use it later, he didn’t dare to use it in front of the association’s elders.

“Thank you very much.”

Yale thanked them and walked towards the chief elder. The others wanted to ask questions to him, but seeing that Yale didn’t start a conversation with them, they feared that the chief elder would be angered if they bothered Yale with those questions.

“Then, come to my office. No one would disturb us there.”

Tar didn’t plan to share more information with the other elders, sometimes the fewer people knew about something better.

The office wasn’t far, in three minutes they reached it.

Tar’s office was big and luxurious, but it wasn’t the same room Zuatania had used as an office in Yale’s vision. Both of them take a seat before starting to speak.

“Then, you can tell me what you know, as we are alone now?”

Yale had decided to trust in Tar; he wouldn’t be able to get his help if he hid the truth from him. As he seemed to have a good relationship with Zuatania and Tar was her disciple, Yale had confidence in that Tar was on his side.

“This office isn’t the same Zuatania used in the past, what happened to that room?”

Tar didn’t expect that the first words of Yale were about the office, his master’s office was a place that only her disciples knew in the whole association, and Tar was the only one who remained alive.

Furthermore, the fact that Zuatania was the name of the founder was also a secret; no one else knew that the republic founder and the association founder was the same person.

With that question, Tar confirmed his guesses that Yale had information that besides himself no one else had, which increased his curiosity towards Yale.

“That area has been sealed since my master’s death.”

Yale smiled as Tar acted naturally even when he was shocked by Yale’s answer.

“Your acting skills improved quite a bit. Before, when you got nervous, you were completely transparent. You ever fell to the ground when Zuatania asked you about the reason for spying her conversation with me.”

That time Tar was unable to hide his shock, that was part of his dark past and a past that no one alive knew.

However, Yale’s words were clear; Yale had a conversation with Zuatania in her office in the past, which Tar had spied and got caught afterward.

There were only two options, Yale had obtained that information from some legacy and was an incredible liar capable of being undetected by Tar or he was someone from the past era reincarnated.

Tar doubted that Yale was lying, there was no way a kid no matter what legacies had obtained would be able to lie to him, and if some kid could do it, then that kid should also be some reincarnated expert.

Tar’s face turned serious, as he stopped to view Yale like a kid with some relationship with his deceased master and instead started to see him as a reincarnated expert.

Yale was managing to guide the conversation in the way he wanted, by revealing that information, Tar would be unable to distrust his words. Yale decided to give the last bit of information that would dispel any doubts.

“I have some memory issues as I had said before, but I remember that you and I had met once in the past, just the day when I entrusted that orb to Zuatania. At that time, you were only a little orphan kid picked by Zuatania, and you got cheated by your elder brothers to spy on us. If you remember me, then you should understand my relation with Zuatania.”

Yale wasn’t sure about his relation with Zuatania, they seemed friends, and it appeared that she owed her life to him, but he thought that by saying those words, Tar would end speaking what he knew, which would be more information about his own past life.

Usually, remembering something that happened at such a young age would be impossible, but given Tar’s level, his memory was something ordinary humans couldn’t compare, in less than two minutes he managed to remember the scene Yale had seen in his vision.

Tar had been forced to spy Zuatania’s conversations a lot of times, but there was only one time when Zuatania had blushed, so he remembered it well compared with the other scenes. Tar remembered that the other party was a handsome man who wanted to entrust something to her.

At that moment Tar linked that scene with Yale retrieving an item that had been stored in the association since before Zuatania’s death. There was no doubt that it was the same item.

That confirmed that Yale didn’t obtain any legacy or had some special relationship with the deceased Zuatania. Yale had come to retrieve the item himself had asked to protect until his reincarnation.

“Forgive my previous impoliteness, senior. Should I know who were you before, I would have acted more humbly in your presence.”

No matter if the current Yale was weaker than him, he didn’t dare to be disrespectful to him.

Tar had been a curious kid, so when Yale’s previous life left the association after talking with Zuatania, Tar inquired Zuatania about the man that was speaking with her. That was the first and last time that he had seen Zuatania with that kind of face.

“He is just my friend and someone who I owe my life. You need to swear that you would never tell this to anyone else, but that man is also my first and only love. Sadly, I have been unable to confess my feelings to him as I always felt that I have more time to do it, but now he will die, and I have lost my chance. I don’t want to put more burdens on him by confessing now. Remember, you need to treasure your time, even if you become stronger and feel that everything would be eternal, that is just an illusion.”

Tar had kept the secret and never said those words to anyone else.

In fact, Zuatania’s advice about time avoided Tar of committing the same mistake as her. Tar had confessed to his love at the first chance and lived a short love story before his lover died. If he had waited thinking about the future he would have lost his chance to live some happy moments with her, so his master’s words were deeply imprinted inside himself.

Tar had never loved another woman, nor Zuatania had married anyone before her death, both had been stubborn with their first loves even after they had died.

Zuatania was Tar’s master, but to an orphan like him, she was like his mother, it wasn’t strange that his personality had inherited some traits of her.
