Chapter 18: CH 18: Divination
[Son of Plane]: Thank you Sona, whatever you gave me it worked!
[Shitori Sona]: That's good news, I'm happy to help.
[Son of Plane]: Thank you. I don't know how precious the thing that you gave me is, but me and my mother will offer our help if you need.
[Shitori Sona]: Then, when you have time and strength, can you send me items from your world?
Sona leaned back in her seat, showing a sly smile. Although she was truly happy to help a Chat Group member's family for free, she also had a plan in mind. 'Now I've got his trust. I could let him send some unique items from his world if he gets stronger,' she thought, knowing she was sending not just a healing potion but an investment.
[Son of Plane]: Okay, I promise when I get stronger, I'll give you items from our world.
Huo Yuhao showed an innocent smile as he walked in the forest with his mother, throwing his fist in the air with determination. He had another reason to get stronger, and this time, it wasn't for revenge.
[Shitori Sona]: Here.
[Shitori Sona sent Wyrmling a Mail]
[Shitori Sona sent Loony Lovegood a Mail]
[Shitori Sona sent Viking Warrior a Mail]
[Shitori Sona]: It's a Phenex Tear potion. It can heal injuries and restore health, but it can't restore blood loss or organ loss. But it should be able to reattach a severed limb.
Sona wasn't planning on investing only in Huo Yuhao. She was investing in every member of the Chat Group.
[Loony Lovegood]: Thank you for the gift.
Luna, who had been smiling and running around playing with the animals in the backyard, stopped and held out her hand.
Then suddenly a small vial with red liquid appeared in her palm.
"Mom, Mom, Dad! Look at what I got!" Luna shouted excitedly, running toward Xenophilius and Pandora.
"What is it?" Xenophilius smiled, crouching down and hugging his daughter before standing up and carrying her.
"I got a Phoenix Tear from my friend!" Luna said, excitedly showing the vial to her parents. "It even healed one of my friend's mom."
"Did you say 'Thank you'?" Pandora asked, giving Xenophilius a look, before smiling at Luna as she took the vial and examined it.
'If this is really Phoenix Tears, then the Phoenix is different from what I know,' Pandora thought, remembering that Phoenix Tears were supposed to be crystal clear, but this one was red.
"I did," Luna nodded her head seriously before wiggling down from her father's grasp and walking in front of her mother, looking at her innocently. "Can we give her a gift as well?"
"Sure, but let's think about what gifts we can give your friend inside," Pandora said, taking Luna's hand as they walked back inside the house.
"It looks like it's really time for her to learn," Xenophilius whispered before sighing, knowing his wife was right.
Although Luna's innocent heart was good, it wouldn't help her if someone found out what she could do in the future.
[Wyrmling]: Thank you, Sona.
The only one who didn't respond was Astrid. Who was already asleep, curled up in her bed.
Although Astrid's Asgardian Physique allowed her to fight a dragon or run for hours without breaking a sweat, it didn't change the mental fatigue that she experienced all day.
The weight of everything that had happened, the constant pressure of being different, the fear of what the future held, it all took a toll on the young future Viking Queen.
•-----•-----•-----•-----•
Ragnar, who was laying down on his new luxury bed comfortably, shook the vial of Phenex Tears in front of him with interest. 'What could I give her?' he thought, knowing Sona probably didn't give them the potion for free.
Knowing Sona who wouldn't do anything from the goodness of her heart as a demon.
Ragnar thought hard about what item he could exchange for her gift but Ragnar couldn't think of anything he could give to Sona that was unique in his world, not now that he was still weak.
Then his thoughts turned to a different focus as he looked at the Phenex Tears. 'Can this be helpful to Jean?' Before he shook his head. 'Why am I even thinking about her?' he sighed but then he thought of an idea.
The only thing he could give back to Sona was information about the future. 'Maybe it will even allow her to have a mission,' Ragnar thought, but then he thought about how to explain it to others how he knew their world's future and information.
Ragnar struggled to make a decision to tell them or not, as he considered the benefits. If he told them first, he could get some items to trade with them, from the Phenex Tears or even the magic suitcase from the universe of 'Harry Potter'. As he was about to think about the downside of telling them, not a single thing came to his mind.
Ragnar remembered that no one could force him to tell what he knew. It was just how much he could get from trading his information that was the problem.
Thinking about this, Ragnar made a decision to tell them what he knew. Not only could he trade, maybe he could even win some favors and allow the Chat Group System to upgrade at the same time.
'It's a win-win situation for me no matter how I think about it,' Ragnar thought, just as he was about to offer Sona a deal, something in the Chat Group caught his attention.
[Son of Plane]: It's true! My mom tried it! She recovered from her sickness, and her spirit level even broke through level 10! She can now absorb a Soul Ring!
Huo Yuhao just wanted to tell every chat group member that what Sona gave was precious and she didn't lie.
Also Huo Yuhao was excited by the prospect that his mom was going to be stronger.
"Yuhao, I'll try first to make sure it's okay," Huo Yutong said as she walked closer to the floating Soul Ring above the corpse of the soul beast they had killed that had suddenly attacked them while they were exploring the forest.
[Wyrmling]: Huo Yuhao, can you tell me what color of Soul Ring your mother plans to absorb? Remember to be very specific.
Ragnar frowned as he remembered that in the story, when Huo Yuhao entered the Star Dou Forest and killed a wind baboon, he was excited and planned to absorb its Soul Ring, even if it was only a White Soul Ring and not even the same attribute as his Martial Soul.
This showed Huo Yuhao's lack of basic Soul Ring knowledge.
Now Ragnar felt he needed to inform Huo Yuhao and remind him of their decisions.
Otherwise, in the future, there would be complications if the group members found out that he knew their future destiny but didn't help them.
Huo Yuhao was filled with doubt, but he obediently glanced at the floating Soul Ring, inspecting it closely.
[Son of Plane]: Its color is white and yellow, why?
"It's about to become a century-old Soul Ring, huh? But even so it's still too weak..." Ragnar muttered, shaking his head and sighing in disapproval.
[Wyrmling]: Huo Yuhao, stop your mother from absorbing the Soul Ring. It's too weak. Your mother would suffer from having a Soul Ring like that.
[Wyrmling]: The Soul Ring in your world is divided by colors, showing how weak and strong it is: white, yellow, purple, black, red.
[Wyrmling]: The Soul Ring in front of you should be from an evolving ninety-nine-year-old soul beast into a century-old soul beast.
"Mom, wait. Don't absorb the Soul Ring!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly stopped Huo Yutong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, ready to absorb the Soul Ring.
"What is it? We need to hurry. There might be other soul beasts in the area," Huo Yutong said patiently, glancing at her son with a questioning look.
"Wait, the Soul Ring is weak. It's not good enough for you," Huo Yuhao pleaded with his mother before turning his attention towards the Chat Group.
Huo Yuhao was doubtful as to why Wyrmling had clear information about the Soul Rings in his world, but he had already experienced the uniqueness of the Chat Group System and its members twice.
[Son of Plane]: How did you have information about the Soul Ring in my world?
[Son of Plane]: And if you can explain more clearly, I would be really grateful.
Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, 'How could I get stronger when I don't even know this,' he thought, depressed, as he felt sad knowing he didn't even know a basic knowledge of Soul Master.
[Wyrmling]: The older the Soul Ring is, the stronger the Soul Skills
[Wyrmling]: White Soul Ring is from a ten-year-old Soul Beast, Yellow is a hundred, Purple is a thousand, Black is ten thousand, Red is from a hundred thousand Soul Beast.
[Wyrmling]: You should let your mother absorb a pure yellow Soul Ring.
"Mom, the white color in the Soul Ring shows that it's still a decades-old Soul Ring. Let's find another one," Huo Yuhao said after reading the information that Wyrmling sent, trying to persuade his mother to not absorb the Soul Ring.
"Is that so? I didn't know that," Huo Yutong said in surprise as she looked back at the Soul Ring, seeing the white part on it. 'It really is,' she patted her chest, releasing a breath of relief.
Huo Yutong only has basic knowledge that Soul Masters could absorb a hundred-year Soul Beast, but she didn't know more information because she had given up when she found out that her innate soul power level was low, but now she almost destroyed her second chance at becoming a Spirit Master.
As the Huo family continued their journey in the forest to find the right Soul Ring, doubt fermented in the Chat Group as Sona began questioning Ragnar for answers.
[Shitori Sona]: I think you should answer Huo Yuhao's first question as well, don't you think so?
Sona sat up straight in her chair, clasping her fingers on her desk in anticipation. She felt it in her gut that the dragon had a secret that could help them all.
Ragnar was ready to tell the truth, that he knew the future of their worlds but the problem was that he couldn't explain clearly how or in what way he could possibly know that.
Ragnar felt he had two choices here, First, he could tell them that he read and watched their story from manhua, manga, anime, and movies, or...
[Wyrmling]: Divination?
