Finally, with a resigned sigh, Orion relented, a slight smile forming at his lips, "Alright, Magi. Fine, you can come along. But you must promise to be extremely careful. I don’t want you to end up hurt because of some prophecy."
A bright, relieved smile broke across Magi’s face immediately, his enthusiasm reigniting with double intensity, "You won’t regret it, Boss. Oh, and by the way, I actually came here prepared!"
Orion raised a curious eyebrow at Magi’s triumphant tone, clearly impressed by his readiness.
Magi eagerly continued, visibly brimming with pride and excitement, "I’ve already found the perfect location for our next adventure."
"A few days ago, my informants told me about recently discovered underground ruins near the border of our kingdom. This news hasn’t spread yet, there are only whispers among certain circles. If we move quickly, we’ll have several days ahead of anyone else to prepare."
Orion’s eyebrows rose slightly, impressed by Magi’s thoroughness. He nodded approvingly, "You really came prepared, huh? Excellent work, Magi. Go ahead and inform Uncle Edgar immediately. Have him use his network to confirm the credibility and details of those ruins. We’ll leave once everything checks out."
Magi smiled broadly, his excitement palpable, "Understood, Boss! I’ll see to it immediately!"
Orion gave him an appreciative nod, watching Magi hastily exit the lounge, his steps nearly bouncing with excitement. Once Magi had left, Orion chuckled lightly to himself, shaking his head in amused disbelief.
"An old fortune-telling man..." Orion murmured to himself, smiling ruefully. "What a strange twist this is becoming."
With one final shake of his head, Orion calmly left the lounge, heading back to his room while silently contemplating the intriguing development, curious about what their upcoming adventure would reveal.
***
Orion returned to his room, now clean and tidy after the servants had fixed the place. With a soft sigh, he sat down on his sturdy bed, before calmly activating the Silent Hall Cube once more.
The familiar ripple of mana spread around the room, bringing absolute silence and ensuring total privacy.
A faint shimmering appeared next to him as Lumi’s small glowing screen bobbed gently into view, her voice thoughtful as she carefully asked,
[Are you planning to visit the Inheritance grounds again soon, Master? (。•́︿•̀。)]
Orion nodded slowly, his gaze contemplative as he replied softly, "Yes, now that I’ve memorized the critical details from the Oblivion Codex, it’s time to truly understand and comprehend them."
"Honestly, the intricacies of the Light and Darkness elements are far more complex than any of the Core Elements. They feel entirely different, like trying to grasp abstract concepts rather than simple elemental forces."
Lumi’s screen bobbed up and down enthusiastically, clearly agreeing with Orion’s observation. Her cheerful voice carried a hint of excitement as she replied,
[Indeed, Master! The Inheritance grounds really accelerated your progress immensely. Your understanding improved leaps and bounds last time. (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]
Orion drew in a deep breath, calmly closing his eyes. With focused intent, he summoned the golden headband he had inherited from Sun Wukong.
Immediately, the elegant headband materialized upon his forehead, its golden surface faintly gleaming with ethereal radiance.
However, this time Orion refrained from directly activating its teleportation. Instead, he hesitated briefly, curiosity nudging at him.
He decided to open the mysterious chat that connected him with the other inheritors across distant realms. The familiar translucent interface appeared before his eyes, filled with the usual chaos of their conversations:
[Voidwalker]: I was exploring a swamp here recently, and I nearly died from the poisonous bastards there.
[Continuum]: You really need to better master your art of escaping.
[Astral]: Of course the thief would know best about escaping.
[Continuum]: You haven’t died yet?
[Astral]: Ladies first.
