Reborn As A Haier-Elvian: The Blood Hunter And The Warlock (Replace To New Account)

Chapter 20 "Last Year's Bright Point"

"Is there something wrong with that?" I defied, pretending I didn't understand.

"You just asked something confidential. Few people know." Prince Keylan's forehead.

Looking at her eyes that were looking straight ahead, I felt a little uneasy. "I. .. have something to do with it."

"How can you?"

A curious expression was clearly visible on his face, like a child waiting for the contents of a birthday gift that was opened by his father. Although I initially wanted to keep this information well, I could not tell the man everything. Starting from how I was dragged into this world and the strange pin that caused it, to the Glafelden library where I found the Indemnius Spirit Crystal information.

But of course the fact that I was originally a man remains a secret. Because I'm ashamed that it's known to so many. Enough of my friends and Almira know about this. Even my hunting colleagues don't know it.

As has happened to Almira, Prince Keylan was dumbfounded and open to hear my story. He must think I'm crazy or something.

Whatever he wants to say! Things that he probably thought were impossible did happen to me. But what I did not expect, was that the man immediately smiled broadly while looking at me.

"Wow! That's the greatest prank I've ever heard" Prince Keylan teased with a crisp laugh. "I've heard many lies, but yours is truly the best."

"So you asked me why I had anything to do with Spirit Crystals, didn't you? That's my answer. I'm not asking you to believe me, Prince! I just want to know more information about it."

Prince Keylan stopped his laughter that was beginning to echo in this library. Now it was my turn to look straight into his eyes. At times like this, I'm sick of people who think my story doesn't make sense. The thing I want is the Spirit Crystal information and the way that I can return to the original world.

"good. If you're like that, I believe," he said in a calm voice. His head was turned to the left before bringing his body closer to me. Maybe so that no one else would hear our conversation. "Then what do you want to ask, Anggi?"

"I want to know about the Spirit Crystal."

Before speaking, the man made sure again that there was no one else around. "Actually the information about the Spirit Crystal is very confidential and should not be leaked to the public. Only one person knows this secret. I don't know how that information could exist in a human library. But ... the information you got wasn't wrong. Spirit Crystals are not just myths, they are real.

"Goddesses have one Spirit Crystal each with unique powers. The example of Lord Lillio who has the Zjarr Spirit Crystal, he can rule and control fire. Also the Licht Spirit Crystal belonged to Goddess Lunaris, who could control light and use it as a healer. There are still many gods and their unique spirit crystals. But of all, the most amazing one was the Spirit Hope Crystal. With that thing, any request can be granted. From your story, it looks like that thing brought you to this world. Because only the Spirit Crystal of Hope can do it. Then, why could it be in your world?"

I'm shaking. "Some, I don't know. I picked up a hexagon-shaped pin and knew I was brought here."

Prince Keylan propped up his chin with both hands. His eyes showed interest. "So the shape of the Hope Spirit Crystal is a star-shaped pin, huh? Is that what spirit crystals look like? Just like ordinary things?"

"I guess you already know," I replied with a small nod.

"This secret was passed down from my family. I've never seen a spirit crystal in person. You know why the information about spirit crystals should not reach the public?"

"No, why?"

I was stunned for a while. Imagining Prince Keylan's words into reality made my fear even greater. The trust of the people will be destroyed. Much of the life of the population is governed by a religion that glorifies the Gods. If this information is widespread, then there will be many cases of crime that arise. People may start robbing and looting, murders happen everywhere, the population will be more selfish and selfish. Which will later probably apply the law of the jungle where the strong oppress the weak. That's a very bad scenario.

"Corruption" I answered briefly.

"Rubber. After all, the power of that thing is so powerful and amazing, it can make you a God. I fear that there will be many people who want those Spirit Crystals for evil. Nobles and rulers of countries all over the world will compete to get it. If that happens, bloodshed will not be spared again. That's why the ancestors kept the secret well from the public."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. The sun is setting and leaving streaks of orange light on the horizon. The dark sky began to look far away in space. The lights in the library started to light up and illuminated the two people in the corner of the room. One of them is Prince Keylan who worries about risk and causation when the information is widespread. While another one is me who blames fate for bringing me into a difficult scenario.

Not content to drag me into this world, fate also wants to confront me with a million problems and dangers?

All I wanted was to return to my peaceful world. But I got caught up in being an animal hunter, got carried away and got caught by Elvian. Now, fate is still toying with my life by bringing forth the possibility of war to come?

"Prince Keylan, may I ask you one thing?" I asked quietly, breaking the man's daydream.

"What's that?"

"Isn't this information a royal secret? Why did you tell me about this? To me who's just a stranger and just met a few days?"

A faint smile spread across his face. "That's because you're an interesting person. If only you hadn't told such a great story, I wouldn't have told you that, either" he explained. Then he stood up and stepped closer to the window. "I didn't think the night had come. After this let's go back to the mansion! Dinner seems to be almost ready."

"Okay" I said, nodding. I stood up and returned the books I had read back to their place.

"Arnest City," he said suddenly, puzzling me and wondering.

"Huh? Meanin?"

"You said you wanted to go back to the world you came from, right?" ask Prince Keylan. I gave a small nod. "Another little secret I want to share with you. If you put together all of the eleven Spirit Crystals, the Hope Spirit Crystals will come and you can make any hope."

"Certainly that?" reply with enthusiasm.

"Yes, right. That means you should start gathering all eleven Indemnius Spirit Crystals. I don't know where the others are. However the Wind Spirit Crystal, Vitruj was located underground in the city of Arnest. Walk north from this city, you will find the Telnier Mountains. Behind it was the city of Arnest where the spirit crystal was located.

"But you need to remember, this journey will definitely be very dangerous. You're gonna bet your life every second. Death will follow you all the time. Even so, do you still want to continue?"
