Chapter 89: Chapter 89: It’s So Hard to Persuade My Sister!
"Sigh!"
Aster Grant let out a heavy sigh.
The next time I see that mysterious Beastbond, who knows when that’ll be...
But just at that moment...
He suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation coming from Beastbond Space.
The Myth Level material he’d chosen earlier in the Guardian Treasury, which had been of unknown purpose, was now emitting a soft pink glow.
"What is this...?"
Aster Grant, puzzled, took it out.
A crystalline crystal was slowly rotating in his palm.
[Twin Hearts]
[Quality: Myth Level]
[Function: Repair the innate defect of Twin Tamed Beasts, allowing them to occupy only one Contract Position]
Aster Grant stared at the information floating on the system’s light screen, understanding the material’s function.
So that’s how it is...
Most races possess only a single Talent Ability.
Like Lazuli’s Seraph bloodline, or Vera’s Power of Nature.
However, some special races possess dual talents...
For example, the Ghost Race possesses both "Ghost Power" and "The Void," two completely different abilities.
The so-called "twins" refer to an extremely rare exception within these races.
Due to certain special reasons, the dual talents that should be unified are inherited by two separate individuals.
The occurrence of such a case often means the strength of the abilities inherited by each twin far exceeds normal.
But.
This isn’t necessarily a good thing...
Excessively powerful abilities place immense burden on the twins’ bodies!
Thus, from birth, there is an innate defect.
For example.
After reaching a certain growth stage, they can no longer break through!
Overuse of their talents leads to bodily collapse...
Whereas, the function of Twin Hearts...
Not only can perfectly repair all innate defects, but it can also allow the twins inheriting dual talents to occupy only one contract quota during the tamer’s contract.
However, after reading this information, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times.
What a mess!
Where would he go to find a suitable pair of twins?
In the treasury, he had carefully selected, only to choose such an unusable Mythical Material. Isn’t this self-sabotage?
"Forget it..." Aster Grant rubbed his temples. "I’ve already chosen, so regretting doesn’t help now."
The urgent matter is still to enhance my own strength.
Although, before starting the training, there’s something that needs to be dealt with...
I need to return the favor to the Cat Clan.
He took out a High-level Star Stone emitting a ghostly blue glow from Beastbond Space.
"Sally." Aster Grant handed the Star Stone to the Cat Clan girl standing beside him. "Please give this to your father."
Sally, upon seeing the item in her hand, her cat ears twitched, nearly throwing the Star Stone away.
"This, this is... a High-level Star Stone?! Aster Grant, it’s too valuable!"
She frantically tried to return the Star Stone, her slender fingers trembling.
Last time, the Cat Clan only gave Aster Grant dozens of low-level star stones, and now...
The price of this High-level Star Stone exceeds a hundred times over!
Moreover, Aster Grant saved the entire Cat Clan; it’s only right for the clan to present their thanks.
How could they accept such a grand gift in return?
"No refusals, and also..."
He deliberately extended his tone until he saw Sally’s cat ears twitch with nerves before continuing:
"Aren’t you supposed to be my exclusive maid? This is your first task, make sure your father accepts it."
Upon hearing the word ’maid’, Sally’s body immediately straightened.
First lesson in maid training.
Absolute obedience to reasonable requests from the master.
She took a deep breath, respectfully holding the Star Stone to her chest, instinctively posing in the most standard servant posture:
"Yes, Master Aster Grant, I will personally hand it to my father."
Sally respectfully bowed, cautiously holding the Star Stone as she exited the room.
As her figure disappeared through the door, Aster Grant’s gaze unconsciously turned to Vera.
"Um..."
He rubbed his hands uneasily, the words at the tip of his tongue swallowed back.
After all, a large amount of Spring of Life and Life Tree Leaves had been consumed last time, and now...
But before Aster Grant could speak, Vera disappeared from her spot.
In the next moment, accompanied by a burst of emerald-green glow, an oak bath three times larger than the previous one appeared in the center of the room.
Aster Grant was dumbfounded staring at the bath.
Inside, the Spring of Life was covered by a thick layer of Life Tree Leaves, so green that the color of the spring was almost invisible.
"Master, rest assured, my Elven Race may lack other things, but we’ve got plenty of Spring of Life and Life Tree Leaves!"
Vera proudly patted her chest, her face full of pride.
As she spoke, she tossed a victorious look at Lazuli.
Being strong is of no use?
Winning the master’s favor still relies on true substance!
And Lazuli’s mouth twitched hard.
She suddenly realized a brutal truth...
She really couldn’t help at all in this aspect!
What she possessed now was just a "Breaking Realm Blade."
But it’s of no use at the moment...
Seeing Vera’s proud look, she suddenly felt a sense of defeat.
Just when Lazuli returned to Beastbond Space, she discovered...
The previously lush Tree of Life now having half its leaves gone, looking particularly desolate.
...
On the other side.
A rift silently opened.
Veridia’s slender fingers continued to dance along the strings, the melodious sound of the piano unwavering.
She didn’t even turn around, simply speaking faintly:
"Returned?"
She always knew her younger sister couldn’t sit still.
Though, with Scarlett’s ability, as long as she didn’t provoke a Monarch Level existence, there were scarcely any individuals in the City of Chaos who could hold her back.
Thus, after coming here, she didn’t overly concern herself with Scarlett’s affairs.
"Hehe! Knew it couldn’t fool you, dear sister~"
Scarlett landed gracefully, bare feet, swiftly darting to Veridia’s side.
Regarding meeting Aster Grant, Scarlett temporarily decided not to tell her sister.
But from this meeting, she at least confirmed one thing.
That human must be worthy of her sister.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have two Myth Talent Beastbonds willingly following him.
However, the current challenge is...
How to persuade her sister?
Scarlett propped her chin in her hands, elbows resting on the redwood table beside the harp, watching her sister play intently.
"Sis~"
She suddenly spoke.
"What if... I decide not to find a master? I feel having a master might make me uncomfortable!"
Veridia’s long fingers slightly paused on the strings, eyes lifting slightly before refocusing on the harp.
"Fine, if you don’t want to find him, we won’t!"
Nothing is more important than her younger sister.
Though she resented the old ghosts of the Ghost Race for driving them out.
However...
As long as her sister didn’t want, she didn’t mind letting those old things go.
Yet Scarlett immediately countered.
"Sis, what I mean is... with a human contract! Once breaking through Monarch Level, we could reclaim the Ghost Race!"
As soon as Scarlett said this.
The sound of the piano suddenly paused.
Realizing her sister was angry, Scarlett immediately waved her hands:
"Sis, I’m just kidding!"
It wasn’t until the piano resumed that Scarlett discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don’t joke like that again."
"I’m your sister; if you don’t want a contract, I’ll always be with you."
"If we do have a contract... then it must be together!"
Upon hearing these words, Scarlett nodded fervently like a pecking chick.
Despite that, her gaze carried a trace of worry.
Sister is so hard to persuade!
What to do?
