The rise of the pervert primordial

The area used for the banquet was all the parts of the city which were destroyed by the previous fight, by the time the guard of the city finished cleaning all the debris, the war was over so instead of starting the reconstruction Orson informed them in advance to calm down the masses.

All the merchants and owners of a store knew that after a victory, a great celebration must be upheld, so they proposed to prepare a series of attractions to help the atmosphere become festive.

Which resulted in the current scene where there were different stalls, from snack stalls like fried things, sweets and things like that, to games of skill and luck, there was a bit of everything.

While Kana dragged Sylas, Milia, Sarina, Alice and Aria with her to the attractions, Mylene was in charge of their security or at least that was her excuse to go and play with Kana, Eris on the other hand went with them but just to hand the list of the materials needed to modify the spirit formation to Sylas.

Aster separated from the girls, he just kept walking around holding Lilia's hand, speaking of Lilia the phrase "I was good so give me a reward" was written all over her face.

"Ahem, don't look at me like that mom, I will spend the rest of the day with you".

Lilia smiled, "I knew my darling is fair, let's enjoy a little date ♥".

Aster always liked that while Lilia had a childish side, she always acted as a mother first, like back in the azure sky planet, she completely focused in training him, even when they visited other cities they didn't go on a proper date, so this was something he wanted to do a long time ago.

The first place that drew their attention was the stall of a fortune teller, unlike what Aster expected, the one attending it wasn't an old woman with the looks of a witch, but a middle age man with a mask on his face.

As soon as they approached the counter, the man spoke in a rather surprised voice.

"Welcome dear customers would you like me to tell you your fortune?".

To be honest Aster thought this was probably going to be either a scam, or maybe the guy will just say a bunch of random things that apply to everyone like the horoscopes back on earth.

But surprisingly, the guy didn't mention anything like that… instead he frowned his brows and just shook his head.

"You two make a lovely couple, I don't think I can give you any advice on that, so instead allow me to give you a warning, be careful of the place where the earth withers away, a purple danger will come looking for you at that moment".

Lilia seemed to contemplate things for a moment trying to make sense of the words of the man but after a moment, she just shrugged but still accepted the warn since she didn't feel any malice nor threat in the man's words.

"Thanks for the advice".

The man nodded and returned to his static pose, Aster looked at the little can in front of the fortune teller which said, "Only leave an offering equal to how satisfied you are with your fortune".

*Thud*

A dull sound made its way to the ears of the man, he noticed Lilia and Aster leaving by the sound of his footsteps and took what Aster left, he moved his hands all over the thing and then smiled as blood dripped from his eyes and mouth.

"Cough… For someone that I'm sure didn't believe my words, that kid for sure appreciated my prediction", he said as he played with a spatial ring he took from his can.

Lilia kissed Aster's cheek.

"For a moment I thought you were going to get angry with that guy darling".

Aster smiled, "If the fortune teller said some useless rubbish, I wouldn't have paid attention… but at the very least he said something interesting, so a few spirit stones don't account to too much".

Leaving that slightly weird attraction, Lilia dragged her son to something that looked like a petting zoo, a breath of fresh air considering the spirit beasts Aster has met so far were all wild.

While Aster petted a cat like spirit beast, Lilia did the same with a little yellow bird.

"These spirit beasts might be low ranked but they are cute, unlike the ones I knew back then", thought Lilia.

Aster was a bit confused about something.

"Mom, I have yet to see a mortal transcending realm spirit beast yet, but how come none of the spirit beasts so far could think rationally?".

Lilia stopped petting the bird and then replied.

"Beasts depend in two things, first their bloodline, just like the Drage family who have a dragon ascendence, the purer their lineage the stronger they will be able to become, in fact some spirit beasts are born with a high cultivation unlike us".

"But the heavens are fair, no matter how strong the bloodline might be, without the ability to think rationally they can't keep on advancing, that's why you haven't seen a mortal transcending realm spirit beast".

"Because unlike us who go through a star tribulation, in order to reach the next level they have to unlock their wisdom, some beasts get a human form thanks to that, but it only works with those of low level lineages".

"Once we return to the family, you will see spirit beasts that doesn't have a human form but they are rational… even at the level of a heavenly conqueror".

"There is such a big world waiting out there", thought Aster.

After that they only wandered around and after eating some kind of cotton candy, they returned to the place where they separated from the others, Alice and Aria were now carrying little stuffed animals which were probably the prizes of a game.

Kana on the other hand had a human size teddy bear and a proud smile, she happily hummed and laughed at Alice, like saying "I won".

Sylas sighed, he was carrying a bunch of boxes with different kinds of snacks and other things, courtesy of Milia saying "Let's buy them a few souvenirs".

Aster smiled, "I think that was enough fun for you".

Sylas agreed with Aster, "While you were having an easy time, I experienced one of the worst moments in my life kid, three hours of shopping… let's go back to the castle I still need to see if we have all the materials in the treasury, if not I will have to buy them from the merchants".

Aster nodded and they returned to the castle, the banquet was still on going but there were less people than before, most of the ones remaining where the city lords but not their younger generations.

Orson was surrounded by a lot of people which were discussing about getting to know the elders of the barbarian heart sect, just to get disappointed after knowing that they already left this galaxy.

Sylas snorted, "Orson might be unexperienced, but he isn't a fool, of course the ones becoming mortal transcending realms will be those who are trustable, by the time they get their hands on this knowledge, we will be strong enough to keep those guys in check".

Mylene shook her head, Kingdom, sect, organization or even family, people always try to climb in status, for one reason or another.

She then turned to see Aster and her eyes glowed, "Why are you different than them?", she thought.

Besides the Orson, Sylas is the only one which has the key to the treasury something which was entrusted to him by the former king, because Orson was too young when he became the ruler of Luonto, so just in case he had the authority to seal the treasury to prevent the kingdom to go bankrupt.

He guided them to the treasury and used his token of identity to open the door, at this point Aster has seen quite a few treasuries so he wasn't surprised by this one in particular, the only one which was quite enthusiastic about it, was Kana.

She grabbed a few thins and inspected them before returning them to their stands.

Sylas opened a chest and took out a few bottles filled with liquids of different colors, one of them had the seal of the royal family, and the other one had the emblem of Oak Heart city, then did the same a couple more of times to get the rest of the materials that were in the list given to him.

Once he finished, he handed them to Eris and nodded.

"Everything is there, there is also a sample of both Orson's and my blood as it is requested, but I don't understand why you need them?".

Eris kept the materials in her spatial ring, while stealing a couple of glances at Mylene, it was obvious that Sylas was asking that because of what a few drops of blood from Mylene caused.

"Ahem, both you and that Orson guy have to come, I will leave you a lower version of the key used to control the spirit formation, you won't be able to change anything, but it will allow you to open a space in the barrier to leave and return if needed".

Sylas let out a sigh of relief, apparently the solution will be better than what he expected since no matter how strong other people might become, ultimately the key will only work if either him or Orson want it.
