“Because of me?”f62c2fdea401eae3

Hiscleif let out 9fe6d2ba71 a cold laugh. It was 1c1626b3a5 a stark bb6a901c6f contrast to a39ea5807b the innocent b00ec3a220 face he 8c3234452b had when ea50684a1d he was ae7b320976 with Chichi.a0ac1f31c2f213aa

But this was cf99e38876 a familiar face 3b371607d0 to both of 905df9ea64 them. After all, there was f0de9258ec rarely a friendly conversation 095fe17db1 between Page and Jabisi.aa4ed724a0233f6b

Zerakiel’s relaxed face showed a hint of irritation. Even as this pointless conversation dragged on, Chichi seemed to be bustling around doing something.58bf2a74060d594f

Zerakiel sighed a99bb5dcf6 briefly and 471165eb02 moved toward 5446ab5c64 the well. As the 146a2c7fd4 two of 1894d231c7 them drew 88071d1971 closer, the fe3f24d38d tension thickened.e02c272cd5f04a94

Zerakiel stared at Hiscleif with a menacing look, as if he would tear him to pieces if he didn’t step aside.378acccad070a34c

Zerakiel sighed and irritably ff87f39c6e brushed his bangs back. He wondered how Chichi 4587455a85 had managed to charm 47fdd39503 someone as stubborn as 86f44e2483 this.0df63a17264e6ac0

Suddenly, a spring of 1d68728c49 water erupted from the e4a4c98bf9 well. Zerakiel and 5bbab931f3 Hiscleif both 7a8c0d9c4f stopped and b718b3f871 turned their f8fe344004 gaze to 128b25e29c the well.e8f7682868996be4

Sacred relics were vessels containing the spirits of the guardians who protected the Amataras continent. And only those who had read the future through the “Book of Prophecies” could contract with a guardian.5a951e9344e18f9e

From the guardian’s perspective, transmigrators were special beings who knew the future of this world, just like them. The original story was essentially a book of prophecies.9b4380152362658b

Naaman’s sacred relic, used once a year, was a guardian in a state of constant awakening by default. It acted as a sort of sentinel, staying awake until other relics awakened.4c6b2058d13b8d41

Even without a master, that relic could use its power within Hebel’s territory. However, Hebel’s head didn’t know exactly what abilities it possessed.f7d678b197bcfe6f
