Chapter 714
Pulling Thera long to Anailia that day, the grin on his face wouldn’t disappear.
Not because of what he was going to test, not because of the things he made or any more progress in his various projects, what was thrilling him to no end was a level, sitting at the top of his card and singing out his progress with one more going to his ridiculous job, leaving him only needing to finish it to be able to finally say he was done and move on to his next one.
Which means I need to go to the adventurer’s guild soon to get all of the adventurers, mages, and mind users I can get my hands on. Let’s see, I should arrange things to try and have them arrive for when this stupid quest is supposed to end, I should be done it before we leave so long as I push myself and if I need to get my soul fixed up, well, that’s just life at that point. God, I’m so freaking close! Even more power, here I come!
It was tempting enough that it made him want to head back to the shop then and there, only resisting the impulse for the sake of his experimentation. While not a soul that had been influenced by its vessel the way the beastform holders had to take advantage of, it was possible there would be different benefits to any of the ways he might materialize a soul into another and he needed to know for sure, with preparations required to check what the results would be as they went along through Thera’s family home, looking for whatever familiar face they could get and end up with Writ as he walked along with his son, the young half-spirit beaming when he noticed Thera and running over.
“Awe, look at you, you’re getting so fast,” Thera gushed as she scooped him up while the youngest half-spirit laughed in her arms. “Aren’t you just the sweetest?”
“Ha, he’s got a bit too much energy I’d say,” Writ told them. “Trying to tucker him out a bit to get a nap in him, but how are you two? What brings you by?”
“Ah, I was hoping to find Pelenia for a moment if she can free up some time,” Ben explained. “I get it’s not the best timing, but-”
“No bother, no bother, I think I know where she is so I’ll lead the way, come on.”
They followed along, through the halls and down flights of stairs while Thera kept entertaining her younger cousin, making small talk along the way.
