Death... and me - Chapter 2640: The Well

The others observed as Roan approached that empty area. Then, he raised his fist and did a gentle knock on the air. “Anyone’s home?”

Everyone wondered if Roan had finally gone nuts. Their senses couldn’t feel anything in that place, let alone their eyes. However, they quickly changed their thoughts.

*Bzzzz…*

Suddenly, a blue and white light shined in front of Roan, quickly expanding until a dome of light was completed. However, the light disappeared a second later, revealing a quite small round house. The door of the house then opened, and another rabbit with clothes came from inside. He walked very slowly and trembling, probably due to his age. “Hum…? You aren’t for around here, are you?” The rabbit asked, looking at Roan.

Roan shook his head. “We came from outside this world. Sir, would you mind if we take some of the contents of that well?”

The rabbit, obviously a Loporrit, looked at the others and then at the well. “Oh! That old thing. Sure, sure. Just a moment.” He then fliped his paw, and the well itself shined with the same blue and white light. A moment later, the light disappeared, but there was no change in the well itself. “Go ahead; I already lifted the seal. I only keep it up so that the Wonder Beasts won’t try to steal from it.”

The rabbit, obviously a Loporrit, looked at the others and then at the well. “Oh! That old thing. Sure, sure. Just a moment.” He then fliped his paw, and the well itself shined with the same blue and white light. A moment later, the light disappeared, but there was no change in the well itself. “Go ahead; I already lifted the seal. I only keep it up so that the Wonder Beasts won’t try to steal from it.”

Roan then bowed to the old Loporrit. “Thank you, sir. However, we do not wish to take it for free. Is there anything you need?”

Rean and the others couldn’t help but feel surprised. ‘Since when was Roan this polite?’ They all thought at the same time. One must remember that Roan doesn’t act like that, even with his masters.

“Kikiki! These old bones have no wishes anymore. Still…” The old Loporrit then sniffed Roan, just like Lola did when they first met. However, he didn’t mention anything regarding the smell. “How about you capture one of those Wonder Beasts for me, will you? Just throw it into the cage behind my house, and I will consider the favor paid.”

“Very well.” Roan’s eyes turned in Celis’s direction. “Can you find any of those beasts around?”

Celis quickly returned to his real form and concentrated. After a few moments, he pointed out with his root. “There is one around 55 kilometers to your right. From the amount of Chaos Energy, it isn’t very strong.”

“That should be enough.” Roan was satisfied. Finally, he looked back at the old Loporrit. “We will bring it. However, the value of the energy in the well is definitely much higher than the beast itself. Is that okay?” That much everyone already knew. After all, Celis could tell the difference.

Yet, the Loporrit didn’t mind. “Not a problem. I will simply use its laws to increase the efficiency of the well. The well will be back to normal in no time. Well, I haven’t used it for a long time anyway, so it doesn’t matter that much either.”

Finally, the old Loporrit turned around and entered its house. It didn’t disappear this time since Roan had to bring the Wonder Beast to the rabbit.

Roan returned to the rest of the group and nodded. “Now we can take the Chaos Energy and Chaos Laws in the well. If you had tried to touch it with the old rabbit’s seal, it would have disappeared just like Lola did.”

“Do you remember how this disappearing trick works now?” Rean asked. Everyone could tell Roan’s memories were returning nonstop.

“Unfortunately, no.” Too bad Roan didn’t have an answer for that. “Nonetheless, the Chaos Laws inside will be of great help to all of us. Let’s use it to align ourselves with this world.”

Celis was even more excited. “If you don’t mind, I will take the Chaos Energy too. It is basically Divine Origin Energy with a lot of mixed elements inside. However, I can tell it is a lot more concentrated than even our Divine Origin Energy Cores.”

Roan had no issues with it. “Go ahead. There isn’t much, so it should be quite fast.”

Just like that, the four of them shared the Chaos Laws while Celis absorbed the Chaos Energy. It all took over an hour, but the benefits were obvious. The well alone was enough for them to almost finish aligning with the world laws. From Celis’s perspective, another hundred Wonder Beasts or so should be enough to complete this task.

“Let’s capture the Wonder Beast for the Loporrit,” Rean said, excited. He wanted to finish it soon so that they could look for more Wonder Beasts for themselves.

Roan agreed with him. “Yes, Let’s go where Celis pointed out.”

Fifty-five kilometers was nothing for experts of their level; capturing a weaker Wonder Beast was even easier. In just half an hour, they were already back, throwing the beast inside the cage the Loporrit mentioned.

It was then that they all saw made runes activating inside the cage and absorbing the Wonder Beast’s Chaos Laws and Energy. After absorbing the Chaos Laws of the well, they could tell that it was slightly different from the Chaos Laws of the beast. Nonetheless, the source still seemed to be these beasts themselves.

“Such weird runes,” Rean looked at it with curiosity. “Sister Orb, record everything in the Circuitry Formation Repository.”

[Alright.]

The process only lasted a minute before the Wonder Beast was gone. With that resolved, they prepared to leave. However, the old Loporrit then came out of his house to meet them… or, to be more specific, Roan. “Here, take this, big one.”

Roan took the item; it looked like a silver arrowhead, although it was round instead of flat. Even he couldn’t tell what it was for. “What’s this?”

The old Loporrit laughed. “Kikiki! You will find the answer later. Just make sure to keep it close to you.” He then returned to his house, not explaining anything.

Roan passed it to Rean to check, but even Rean couldn’t see anything strange in it. “Seems like just a piece of silver metal. Can’t feel any laws or runes on it.”

Roan nodded. “Same here. Just keep it for now.”

Finally, they jumped on Kentucky’s back and left. Inside the old Loporrit’s house, he looked through the window as he reactivated the barrier of his house. If one looked up close, they would see he seemed quite excited. “Kikiki! Lotiri is in for a big surprise.”
