Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 83

“Alright if you wish to go through this ritual, we will need to gather a few things.” Sid explained. “The various flowers and herbs that we require I will go and fetch. It would take far too long to explain what they are and their locations as well as how to harvest them. What you need to do is to find a surviving member of the white dragon flight. Unlike us they look like great serpents and fly without the need of wings.”

“Father, we have not seen a white dragon in eons.” Obsi said. “How is Zell supposed to find one?”

“They are not extinct, I can promise you that.” Sid laughed. “As the elder of black I can sense them. There are six on this planet. As to their direction I can only say I feel them to the East.”

“None of the other elders have ever mentioned the white dragons.” Obsi said. “Are you sure you can feel them?”

“Oh, I do.” Sid replied. “The other elders can feel them too, I am sure. After the great dragon war, I could see why they would not want to mention them.”

“What dragon war?” Zell asked.

“It was a small disagreement between the flights.” Sid explained. “They did not wish to regain our divinity after we left the realm of the gods. Instead demanding we live and die as mortals, only then could we truly understand the meaning of life. They tried to prevent the mission that I went on to steal the piece of heaven. It caused a war and many of the white dragons were slain. What remained of them fled and went to live life elsewhere as mortals.”

“I see so they will look like humans.” Zell said. “That makes finding them a bit harder.”

“I have faith in your ability to find them.” Sid said. “If you use your mark of truth, uncovering their true identity will be a simple task. Channel magic into your mark and look upon me. Tell me what you see.”

Zell did just that. He still saw Sid sitting at his chair but could see the outline of a massive dragon all around him. “I see your dragon form and your human form.” Zell explained.

“Your mark allows you to see the truth in anything.” Sid said. “They will not be able to hide their nature from you, no matter how hard they try.”

“I will go East with Zell.” Obsi said.

“No, daughter, I need you with me.” Sid replied. “Some of the herbs I require will take two to harvest. I am sure the young man will be fine alone on his journey.”

“You said they are to the East.” Zell replied. “But the most Eastern human kingdom is South of here. Where exactly are they?”

“Just because you do not know of a place does not mean it is not there.” Sid explained. It could be an island, or a continent. I just know they are to the East.”

“How is Zell supposed to cross the ocean without me?” Obsi said. “He cannot turn into a dragon, nor can he use flight magic. Allow me to go with him and take Lucille with you.”

“Or I could just teach the boy how to fly.” Sid said. “It should be a simple matter. I shall teach him tomorrow. Do not rob me of my time with you daughter. I have spent eons in a prison thinking of the day we could meet again.”

“I’m sorry father.” Obsi replied. “I didn’t think about how you must have felt.”

“Lucille is needed here anyway.” Sid said. “She needs to take care of our new human friend and get her accustomed to this new world.”

“I will do as you command, master.” Lucille said.

“I am just happy you did not forget about me.” Camille said. “I was feeling forgotten. I must say this food is amazing, so much better than the frozen dinners I ate back home.”

“What is a frozen dinner?” Lucille asked.

“It’s just a premade meal you stick in the microwave.” Camille explained. “Quick and easy but tastes like salty cardboard.”

“That sounds horrible.” Lucille said. “Who would eat salted cardboard? Also, what is a microwave?”

“It’s a little box that makes food hot.” Camille said. “I have no idea how it works, but it makes food super-hot super quick.”

“So, some sort of magical high-speed oven.” Lucille replied. “That is an intriguing idea.”

“Well, I am finished.” Zell said, pushing his chair back to get up. “It was a lovely meal. I thank you for it, Lucille.”

“It was no problem.” Lucille said. “It was all to celebrate my master’s return.”

“Still, it was quite good.” Zell said. “I will see you all in the morning. I look forward to learning flight magic.” With that Zell left the room.

“So daughter, how does it feel to have your old man back?” Sid teased.

“I had no idea how much I missed you until today.” Obsi replied. “I am happy you have returned to us father. All of dragonkin is better off for it.”

“I will go to bed as well.” Camille said as she got up. “Maybe when I wake up this will all have been a crazy dream and I will be back in my bed with my cat.”

“It is good to have hopes.” Sid replied. “However, I think you may need to come to terms with your fate. Have you attempted to bring up your status screen yet?”

“My what screen?” Camille asked.

“Just say status.” Obsi said.

“Status.” Camille said, which brought up a display of all of her stats and her level. “Am I supposed to be able to read this? It’s all just a bunch of random symbols and numbers.”

“We will have Ocana use his skill on you tomorrow and try to figure it out.” Obsi said. “Until then rest up.”

Camille shrugged her shoulders and left the room.

“Now if you will excuse me father I am going to retire to the bath and then to bed.” Obsi said.

“That is fine.” Sid said. “I am just going to sit here a while longer and enjoy the fact I am free.”

After Obsi left the room Lucille got up from her chair and went to sit in Sid’s lap. “Is there anything else I can do for you, my master?” She said using her hand to rub his cheek.

“Oh, I think we can find something!” He said as he stood up and grabbed her in his arms. “Let us move this discussion to my chambers!”
