Chapter 704
“You doing okay Ben?”
“It’s impossible to overstate my disappointment. How did the gods let two of the world’s small supply of mythic items remain mysteries for all of these years? It kind of feels like it could have been, I don’t know, not a priority but at least somewhere on the list of things worth figuring out. What if they’re something useful? I swear to god, if any of the other ones that are left are some forgotten mysteries too then I’m going to go insane.”
“Well, at least we’re almost done.”
“That’s actually another entire issue in and of itself.”
He knew that there weren’t many mythic items in the world, at least not things that were truly items. While the trials of the world’s various gods may have technically counted, when it came to things that could be held in one's hands or at least kept in a room the number was only ten; nine when one accepted that Inux was never going to get a new body that existed at the same scale as his last one.
It was something he hadn’t been aware of before their outing to see them all either but it did put in perspective how lucky he was to have his hands on the archive, creating a small reason for him to hold off on any destructive urges the next time he felt angry at Galwax for something.
But despite that low total, it wasn’t like the ones currently on the planet were the only ones to ever exist either, with it really being a matter of the gods who had made such things not necessarily having had the chance to save them. Who could guess how many wondrous items had been lost or destroyed with their planet’s conquests, not to mention the idea that any might have fallen into the demons’ hands.
All of it culminated into what was becoming a slightly disappointing day, at least so far, but he tried to keep positive as they went to their second last destination out by a coast.
Unlike with the ones they’d already gone to see, when it came to the items of the aquatic races it wasn’t so easy for them, given their need for air and all, resulting in the few that group had being brought to them and leaving the two to wait for them to arrive.
