Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1737 What Really Happened

　　As Libraia was also there, Kentucky kept things simple and didn't mention his Regal Bloodline. "There was indeed an inheritance left behind by the Minokawa called Ume. However, for me to receive this inheritance, I had to do something quite complicated that reduced my overall strength to less than a tenth of what I usually can unleash." Obviously, he excluded the blood found on his father's feather. 

　　Libraia immediately remembered the Kawa Blade Domain. "That was indeed a very impressive attack. Inside that domain, you're sure to have a strength higher than before. Not to mention that this inheritance allowed you to learn how to control the power of space, albeit slightly. Wasn't there anything else of use?"

　　Kentucky pondered over it for a bit and wondered if saying such things would be enough for Libraia to not pry too much into the issue. It was then that he remembered something and immediately reached for his spatial collar. "The inheritance was imbued in a Divine Sense inside this feather. It's gone now that I received it, but the feather remained. I believe it's quite a good item, considering the Minokawa Ume's cultivation. At the very least, my own blade feathers can't hold a candle to this feather." 

　　Kentucky passed the feather to Libraia, who used her Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan to check it. "Oh! This is quite the good stuff! This feather was removed in its blade form, so it won't come back to normal. Nevertheless, a weapon made with it is sure to have quite a good edge. Even I would like to make a sword out of it."

　　"That good?" Kentucky knew it was impressive, but not to the extent that even Libraia wanted to make a weapon for herself out of it.The source of this content ɪs N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

　　Libraia then looked at Kentucky after that. "How about it? Would you sell it to me? I know that the inheritance was left for Minokawas, but I'll make sure to pay you a good price."

　　Kentucky really wanted to keep the feather for himself. However, he also didn't want to refuse Libraia's offer. "Sigh... fine. The one who takes care of Divine Stones is Rean, so you can negotiate with him once we get back to the Jhiod Sect."

　　Libraia's eyes lit up after hearing that. "Great! I'll make sure you guys get a price that can satisfy both of you."

　　Following that, Libraia looked at the island around them. "Is there anything else here of value here?"

　　Kentucky pondered in silence for a bit before saying, "Perhaps the island itself? After all, it can stay afloat, close to the barrier between the Realm of Gods and the Sea of Stars. It sure is something impressive, no?"

　　"Hmm..." Libraia didn't quite agree with that. "The island is indeed remarkable. However, our Jhiod Sect has plenty of flight vessels that can stay afloat at this height. One of them is even bigger than this island. From what I can see, this island was built out of one of the mountains from the mountain range below. Not to mention it was made quite in a hurry."

　　Celis understood. "What's remarkable was the fact that Ume could create something like this so fast, and not the island itself. Am I correct?"

　　Libraia nodded. "Pretty much." She then looked at Kentucky and asked, "Do you wish to keep this island for yourself?"

　　Kentucky shook his head, saying, "Not really. I have nothing to do with it. I've checked every corner during the past few years and can guarantee that other than the fact it can stay afloat, there isn't anything else here."

　　"In that case, I guess I'll simply give it to the experts of the Vulrasic Continent. It might not be much for our Jhiod Sect, but it's still something that they would love to get their hands on. It would also strengthen our relationship. Are you fine with that?" Libraia asked.

　　"Sure," Kentucky nodded in response. "However, I can't go back just yet."

　　"Why is that?" Libraia asked, confused.

　　Kentucky then pointed at himself, explaining, "I'm still in the middle of the process of receiving my inheritance. I'm not sure if it's connected to this island, but I don't want to risk going out and losing everything. With that said, would you guys mind waiting for two more years? That's the time I believe it'll take for me to recover my strength." Kentucky had been awakening a small part of his Regal Bloodline for three years and a half when the five-year deadline Rean gave him ended. On top of that, Libraia took six months to reach this place. With that, there were still two years of work ahead of him. Perhaps more, as Ume mentioned, six years was the minimum.

　　Celis didn't mind. "No problem. The twins will be busy for a while, and they don't know how long Libraia would take to come here and then go back. Since it's related to the increase of your own strength, we might as well wait here."

　　Libraia was another one who had nothing against it. "Oh! I'm a very good person, so I'll wait here for you. Well, not here, but somewhere else on this continent. You don't mind if I leave and come back two years later, right?" Sure enough, Libraia wasn't in the least bit of a hurry to head back to Jhiod either. Since she had an excuse, she would definitely make good use of it.

　　Kentucky nodded, saying, "That's no problem at all. Perhaps it will take a little longer, so just keep that in mind."

　　Libraia smiled in response. "In that case, I'll take a look around the island to make sure you didn't forget anything. My cultivation and senses are much higher, so I might find something you passed on. After that, I'm leaving for a while."

　　With that decided, Libraia quickly checked the island for a few hours before making sure that there wasn't anything else. She didn't even go back to see Kentucky and Celis after that and immediately left. Now that she knew where the island was located, it'll be easy for her to find it.

　　On the other hand, Celis changed back to his Demon Tree form and took a lot of Divine Stones from his spatial ring. "Well, while I cultivate, how about you tell me what really happened?"
