Bainster nodded as he walked to the princess' side.
Aine smiled.
"Relax. The item should be here in three days' time."
"Good, I'll remember your favor." Garen nodded."Please rest well."
Aine curtseyed before turning around for Bainster to lead her away.
Garen sat alone in his high chair, his fingers tapping gently on the armrest as he pondered deeply.
The list in his hand kept flipping about in his other finger.
"The Staff of Tree God... is that not called the Staff of Absolute Yin? The physical appearance looks different from the one I've absorbed as well..." Garen analyzed the list in detail before opening up the contacts via the Energy Machine Imprint.
Only a few names lighted up.
"Accord, are you there?"
After a moment of silence, a helpless groan came from the other side.
"What the hell man... you woke me from my sleep... oh right, I've found your items. What were you looking for actually, this item is called the Staff of God Tree and you've given the wrong name and description of appearance... I would have missed this if not for my sharp eyes!"
Accord seemed to have just woken up.
"Uh, I'm so sorry. Send that item to me quickly without any further delay!" Although Garen apologized, his tone didn't seem to indicate otherwise. He was ecstatic when he heard they found another one and urged them immediately to send it over. He needed it urgently as there would be a huge crisis in 12 years' time.
"I probably owe it to you from my past life." Accord was speechless."Wait a moment..."
Soon a voice could be heard after a moment of silence.
"Alright, I've sent it over to you. It's rather small so you'll just have to accept it."
"That fast?" Garen was shocked."Oh right, have you reached Level Five yet?"
"Pass my ass. Alright, I can't do this anymore because I need to rest. It's been at least ten days since I slept properly!"
He disconnected the call.
Garen shook his head as he disconnected his side of the call as well.
He didn't have high hopes in Accord to find anything at all since he wasn't in a high ranking position in the Sect without being a Level Five. The amount of manpower he could summon was not a lot and it could be considered as a surprise for him to be able to find one.
"This fellow, I need to ask if he needs any of my help later..."
Garen shook his head as he didn't say another word.
He then clicked on Liz's head icon.
"Liz? Are you there?"
"I'm here. Garen, have you been released? How did it go? Did you absorb the essence?"
"It's alright, I guess. However, it wasn't as natural as how you guys did it." Garen said humbly.
"Well, that's right. What do you say if we gather up when we're free?" Liz was yawning as well.
"I'm sorry for contacting you guys this late at night at your areas. My bad."Garen laughed as he apologized.
Liz didn't mind as she started to complain how difficult it was to enter Level Four. However, Garen wasn't sure if he heard wrongly as he could sense a glimpse of arrogance and boasting from her tone. Her attitude seemed to have changed from the past.
The two of them chatted casually. Garen originally planned to announce the good news of him entering Level Five so that they could celebrate this good occasion. However, he couldn't find the right opportunity to announce the news.
He didn't mind as he could surprise them during the meetup. He also had an interesting thought to intentionally hide his Level achievement since Liz still thought that he was still a Level Four. This would be common sense as it would require many years for a Level Four to turn into a Level Five. Garen's astonishing progress would put him as a very gifted Energy Machinist. To be able to turn into a Level Five from Level Four was not an everyday feat.
After talking to Liz for some time, Garen hung up before receiving another call from Accord.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to bed?"
"I can't sleep after being woken up by you, " Accord said without holding himself back."Are you going to the Integrated Three Major Cities' Sect Battle? It's a ranking match."
"Of course I'm going." Garen knew what he was referring to. The ranking match was what determined an Energy Machinist's ranking, social status and his authority and influence on the planet. The competition had been segregated into three different groups, mainly big sized sect, medium-sized sect and small-sized sect. The competition's standard would be based on the strongest strength.
The higher they ranked, the more territories and influence in the area they would be rewarded on behalf of the Sect. They would also obtain more resources as the three major cities collectively give out rewards too.
These rewards were very useful even towards a Non-falling level Powerhouse.
Among the rewards was Technique Irrigation or Next Level Realm's Inspiration. The Technique Irrigation was an item that could increase a person's strength to a certain extent regardless of which Sect or attribute the person possessed. It was filled up by the Resonance Power from the three major cities.
However, it was only usable by people who were below Perpetual Motion Level.
On the other hand, the Realm's Inspiration was an item made by a saint of a Perpetual Motion Level. It could allow people to have a taste of what he could do if he were to be in a next level. Generally speaking, whoever obtained this reward would break their mold and enter the next level within half a year.
One would have the chance to obtain such an item if he were to be in the top thirty.
Naturally, Garen wouldn't miss this grand opportunity.
"Of course I'm going. Why do you ask? What are you trying to say."
"How about the three of us gather up when the time comes? Accord suggested."We haven't seen each other since we split up."
"Sure. Five years will pass by in a blink of an eye." Garen said casually. It was indeed true that an Energy Machinist's or a High-Level Pilot's five years' time was equivalent to a commoner's fifty days. They who had reached thus far possessed a long lifespan which spanned up to hundreds of years. Five years were simply too short for time, and if they decided to shut themselves to cultivate half of the time would be gone.
"I'll introduce a beautiful lady to you when the time comes. Hehe." Accord smirked.
"Give it up on the beautiful lady part. It's still an issue whether you are able to get hold of a woman. Being a Level Four is still considered extremely weak inside a big Sect. You need to train more!" Garen was speechless.
"Don't worry about it. People don't care about your strength but your heart. If you treat her well and is sincere, everything else doesn't matter." Accord said in confidence.
"Heart your heard, since when did you turn into such a state..."
On the other side of the communication, Accord was smiling and chatting with Garen. He was laying down on a black chair with his legs crossed, his hand holding his head behind it.
His other hand was playing with a white skull in which a faint blue flame was beating about inside it.
"Accord, Dark Light wishes you death!!!" A sound filled with hatred came out from the skull."I curse you! You'll die in a miserable way. Hehehe. I will be waiting for you in hell!!"
The power emitting from within the skull far surpassed a typical Full Moon Level Powerhouse as it had reached the limits just below the Inherited Level.
After hanging up, Accord put his legs down and looked at the skull.
"What's wrong with you?"
He glanced at the huge, pitch black hall.
"I said I would wait for you in the Void Battle and I didn't expect you to go in like an idiot... what's the end result? You're left with only a brain left.
"You monster! Madman! Psycho!!" The skull scolded him.
"I've already known by these nicknames. Can't you come up with something new? I've reached a new level after absorbing you. When I finish absorbing you, who do you think I will be afraid of among the eighty-one departments other than Eco?" Accord shook his head as he looked at the skull with sympathy."Do you think you're amazing when you have a trump card? Everyone else in this age has a trump card. Hehe. Do you think being an Inherited Level is all that amazing? I really don't know if you're innocent or stupid."
"I curse you... curse you!!!"
The skull kept repeating the same few sentences. Soon Accord had lost interest in talking nonsense to it. He shut his eyes and thought about other stuff.
****************
A few days later...
Inside a secret chamber on Planet Scarlet Snow.
Garen sat on the floor with his knees crossed. The items in front of him were what he had traded with all of his possessions.
There was a piece of black Scarlet Snow Crystal, and about a hundred pieces of typical, red Scarlet Snow Crystals. These were resources that Aine collected hastily from the country's vault. There also was a black covered metal book and a small bag of deep red crystals which looked very similar to the Red Peacock Stones.
The faint light bathed on Garen's face, giving off a lonely and solemn vibe.
He was nurturing his spirit to enter Resonance Level if nothing came out of the left field. This phase focused mainly on the Resonance between the Pilot and his body or an Energy Machinist and his Energy Machine.
The strength was higher when the Resonance was stronger, which meant that one would obtain more power from the increment of the Energy Machine. This meant that one was able to harness the full strength of the Body or Energy Machine and superimpose it onto one's body. This would result in pushing one's strength to an astonishing level.
When an Energy Machinist had a stronger Energy Machine, his strength would naturally become more powerful. However, it might produce a lower Resonance Level, resulting in one to enter the Resonance Level harder.
Similarly, a weak Energy Machinist could achieve Resonance easily but its strength would be very weak.
Then, there's Garen.
He exhaled slowly and raised his hand. The silver-white ring on his index finger shone faintly.
Shuffle shuffle...
Black wolves started entering the secret chamber. There was a deep blue giant wolf that was nurtured anew. One by one, fifty of these wolves gathered inside the small secret chamber.
These fifty plus wolves were the optimum Energy Machine quantity after enhancing and simplifying it with all his strength.
At this quantity, the wolves would be able to fight at their optimum without wasting resources due to their large amount.
The Winter Night Wolf Pack was enhanced by the Distorted Seed as its radiation was placed onto these wolves, allowing them to have the battle strength which surpassed Level Five. It might be at the Half Moon Level or Full Moon Level. Garen wasn't too sure of its overall strength.
"It would be quite troublesome to Resonate with all of these wolves..."
However, Garen would have to proceed even if he had no confidence after reaching so far.
If he were to succeed entering the Resonance Level with fifty of these Energy Machines, he would be the first one to have ever done such a feat — the feat of entering Resonance Level together with so many Energy Machines!
This meant that when Garen used his Resonance Skills, his strength would overlap with fifty of these Night Winter Giant Wolves and instantly had an overwhelming strength.
"Let's start from the Peacock Stones..."
He reached out his hand and grabbed onto the Red Peacock Stone's essence.
The progress with the Living Secret Technique Hell Frost Peacock Technique on his Attribute Pane had already reached 65% of the seventh grade.
Garen had a feeling that once it reached the eighth grade, he would have a skill that could change the world.
