Temporal Pearls

Chapter 218: Hourglass Seed

"I'm a chief and can help you convert them to Union Subscriptions. But I will have to go back to my sanctuary!" Lady Rain said.

"Okay, we will talk about it!" Seth said as he stared at the money with complained emotions.

"Can I do something please?" Seth asked, and they nodded and he went around pinching them. However, he wasn't touching their skin but their aura. And made Aura Goblets with the help of Moon Stigma.

After that, he brought several aura goblets and asked if they knew their value. But no one knows.

"You pinch us, why?" Rena asked.

"I plucked some of your aura with your approval and I will use them on the painting in Vela Sanctuary! The image will be more pronounced and imposing as if real. Just like Temra!"

The fire dragon seemed real as if moving when people looked at her while they were moving. Thankfully it was an Icon, and everyone got used to it to a certain degree!

They were about to ask more when Captain Brown entered with a solemn face, "Dark Wave might be here sooner than later. And the Observers can't determine what it is and how to counter them. Not only that, Dream Fortune warned us not to see it at all!"

"What about the Red Valley Chief, is he coming?" Lady Rain asked, they had sought the man's help and agreed to come.

"He will be here tomorrow, I guess. So, we will wait for him, to guide the many people away. If we left now, the Dark Wave might track us!" Captain Brown examined.

"Mr. Enoch, I hope you have a successful transaction" He said with a simple smile.

"Yes!" Seth nodded. The man went out and Seth asked the question he was dying to know. "Where are you going to ingrain the bloodlines?"

"After aiding Zambia to hunt down white sand, we will set back to my sanctuary!"

They discuss where that place was and how to get there. It was very far away, Seth concluded but he thinks he can go there but he didn't show them that.

But he did show interest in where to get the paper ability and nag Rena to tell him the detailed path. She did and even drew him a rough map.

"Seth, can I talk to you, privately!" Zambia asked. Seth nodded and he followed him. The moment they stepped out of the tent, Seth found himself in a glass with Zambia sitting in white sand.

"The substitute for white sand is Moon Crystal. A bit inferior though because it can only be used effectively under the moon. But when used in that condition it was better than White Sand." Zambia explained.

"If this sand you see dried up, then the glass will be destroyed and the sad truth was whenever my life was in danger I either sacrificed something precious or this Hourglass would automatically trigger to save me. I only have eight more uses and it will not be enough because we are going to the land of Gawee Beasts!" Zambia further explained.

"You want crystal moons!" Seth said.

"Yes, but I don't have money like others. But I have something money can't buy, Hourglass babies!"

Seth's eyes raised when he heard babies.

"Haha, strange right? Apparently, if I want to level up, there are ways, one of which is to fill this Hourglass with white sand or equivalent, to the brim. Automatically it will produce another Hourglass but a dormant one. I can give it to my colleague, to nurture it or I can save it for one-time use, which is a waste!"

"So," Seth asked.

"Do you have enough crystal for that? Besides, only Juma has ever been here. It's delicate and can be destroyed easily. But also you can get your Hourglass depending on the value of the deposit. The crystal you gave me is considered Grade 3 but the one you gave Fist was Grade 2 which was lower. The higher the grade the better the Hourglass and shelf life when you nurtured it!"

"How do you know I have more of those!" Seth asked.

"That person you fought in the crater was there before all of us. And you just came and asked for something that belonged to you. We surmised that you were there but escaped due to dragons"

Seth nodded and asked, "Anything can be used you say?"

"No, something of the same value of white sand or equivalent. As long as it's energy?"

[Congratulations, you have obtained Hourglass Seed]

"Did you get it? '' Zambia asked, he too was exhausted. "I guess so!" Seth wasn't so sure. "Don't tell anyone, please. And I'm sorry for all the misgivings in the past!" Zambia said.

"Hehe, that wasn't a good experience, at all. But no problem!"

Seth didn't even know where the damn seed was. But he can see the description. Seth was getting tired of these various unknown categories. As of now, he doesn't even know where Luana's dimension was but he knew it was with him.

But as he remembered his money and also the fact he had finished his quest, he felt satisfied. The game can be as difficult as it could be, but he won't care as long as there are tangible benefits.

When cool down was over and he got his 10 million unions from Fist with a smile, he then met with Raindrop Leader and talked about conversion. She gave him a Contract he sent the value of the money to then she left.

Thirty minutes later she came back with 10 seth of Union Subscription Numbers that he can use to credit his account. She also gave him a useful item that was converted by everyone. [Oasis Spring] It's a water container that has an unknown amount of water inside and can generate it when depleted. That was his payment for Sapna scales.

He then stormed out of the canyon. Not care whether people followed him or not but they did but at some point, he just vanished.

"He is like a ghost!" Sapna said. She was with other groups that wanted to know where Seth was going.

"I think his sanctuary doesn't want us to follow him!" Lady Rain said.

"What about Temra Dragon? We can't go there without her and this boy is so enigmatic that even Captain Brown, that ruthless monster, was wary of him!" A lady in a black cloak said.

"Captain Brown is just playing it safe, but he has attempted to steal something from Seth. But he can only take red branches, leaves papers, quills and destroyed hammers which he returned to not alert Seth. One time they got nutritious fruits. It's as if he has all his items at Personal Arms!"

Personal Arms can't be stolen easily and most often if there was a possibility, the owner will know. But anything that was Acquire Arms can easily be taken without the owner's knowledge.

That was why Asteroid Weapons are under Personal Arms.

Seth entered the forest with a smile.

[Congratulations]

[Living Roots is pleased with your success and 100 people are guaranteed to survive the vetting!]

"What? Is she happy that I finished the quest?"

To probe that Seth stood at the centre of the village and floated up, then he used Aura Sense. A skill that allowed him to sense aura with his body.

He felt deluxe of green and multicoloured energy passing through him. "It was trying to influence me!" Seth smiled. But he understood why the forest was happy.

The first reason was he spread her seed in the three sanctuaries. Not only that, thanks to Antler droppings the seeds were germinating and were thriving. It was like having an extension for the forest.

It also made Seth realize that the forest was desperately trying to survive too in this harsh environment. It wants to expand and become more powerful.
