Chuckling lightly, Dalia decided to wait for Jason's response only to see his eyes gleaming brightly.
'Presents are always welcome, huh?' She thought with a gentle smile, as she took out a small ring
"This is a spatial ring and it works similar to your storage device. The only difference is that you can bind it to your individual mana fluctuations to prevent others from using it.
It's spacious and inside are all kinds of books for basic lifestyle occupations, Beast-Creators, about Canir, the foreign races, and almost all books we retrieved from the Shore clan which Shane annihilated.
These books are compact in a single memory drive and you can insert it into your holographic transmitter.
As for the remaining things inside, Shane prepared a present for you over the last few weeks which he initially wanted to give you once you forged your first mana weapon by yourself.
The circumstances are unfortunate but in the end, it was fortunate for Shane to prepare the gift."
Handing Jason the ring, he inspected it, before putting the ring on his finger.
Inserting the ring with his mana fluctuations, he saw how humongous space within was, as he noticed a small memory drive next to a large forge?!
"Is that a portable forge?!" He exclaimed, looking at Dalia who returned his gaze slightly dejected
"Is that everything you see?" She said and hearing this, he averted his attention back to the content within the spatial ring, as he noticed all necessary tools to brew, forge, and even rune inscribing, with beautiful inscriptions on an empty ballpen.
A radiating smile blossomed on his face when Dalia continued
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})"Except for the lifestyle occupations, there is also a messenger crystal within the spatial ring that immediately connects you with us. The messenger crystal can only be used a few times, before crumbling.
We have to leave everything behind, which includes our old quantum bracelets and you will only be able to reach us through the crystal!"
Nodding his head, Jason turned more serious, after the joy subsided slightly
"So I should only message you if it's unavoidable."
However, Dalia didn't stop speaking, as she said
"Not only Shane prepared a gift, but I also prepared one...Over the last few weeks, I forced Shane to bother Old Drake and Till to purchase a few ingredients and I already finished the evolution solution for Scorpio, with a small extra, which will most likely make the two of you happy!
You don't have to give me any star-notes or similar valuables, just accept it, okay?"
Jason felt warm around his heart once again, and hugged Dalia for a short moment before he sincerely said "Thank you"
Shane was sleeping right now, otherwise, he would also thank him, because he didn't expect his masters to be so generous towards him, which was unexpected.
In the end, he thought that masters would only teach their disciples without anything else, which however didn't seem to be the case.
"Don't thank me. This is what we are supposed to do as your teachers! Unfortunately, I can't help you out by unsealing your friend's soulbond's lesser minotaur bloodline, but I wrote down the exact prescription for you. In the end, it shouldn't be that difficult for you to make it, because unsealing a bloodline is one of the easiest tasks as a Beast-Creator"
Nodding his head that ached painfully because too many things happened over the whole day and the only thing he could do after such an arduous day, was simply nodding.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"Because I'll leave with Shane as soon as possible, should we finish Scoprio's evolution now?"
Dalia asked with interest gleaming in her eyes.
She never evolved a miniature Parascor into a Radiant Sapphire Scorpion, which was obvious, because such an evolution was simply illogical and irrational, solely because of the vast gap in strength.
However, Scorpio, Jason's second soulbond seemed to be extremely tough and thanks to her increasing its potential forcefully, she involuntarily forced an evolution.
In the end, it almost killed Jason, Scorpio, and herself, which was not something to brag about, but it worked out which was everything that counted.
Jason's rumbling head was immediately freed and enthusiasm overwhelmed his tiredness, as he jumped up to say.
"Yes, please!! Let's immediately finish Scorpio's evolution!"
Running down the spiral staircase, Jason left Dalia alone, who looked after him with a smiled
'He is still young after all!'
Entering the hideout's underground, he had to predict which room they would use and with his mana eyes fully utilized, he immediately went into the room to his right.
The other rooms were either used for inscribing, brewing, forging, or enhancing a beast's potential.
Looking around the room he entered, Jason saw a large mana circle on the ground that seemed essentially more complex than the mana isolation mana circle, causing his curiosity to ignite almost immediately.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})While waiting for Dalia to arrive, Jason summoned both of his soulbonds.
Artemis who heard what Dalia said about Scorpio's evolution wanted to watch everything, while Scorpio was already expectant.
Rushing towards the center of the complex mana circle, it stared at the closed door, waiting for Dalia to arrive.
With this sight, Jason began to chuckle while Artemis also seemed to make a similar sound, which astonished him.
'Are my soulbonds becoming more human-like? Is that because of the fortified soulbond?'
Even if that was the case, it wasn't a bad sign rather than that it might even lighten the tension, he felt, when he thought about his possible origin and the complexity of the world.
Dalia slowly entered the room, without hurrying much, when she noticed that Scorpio was already ready, waiting for her, with Jason standing in the corner while Artemis squeezed on his shoulder.
The space on Jason's shoulder became less with each day passing and Artemis seemed to have grown to a length of 1.2m while her wingspan most likely reached more than 3.5 meters.
Fortunately, she could adjust her size slightly, but for the moment, Jason didn't see any use in her doing so.
As such, she stayed in her normal size.
Dalia smiled lightly seeing that everyone was so expectant, as she approached Scorpio, while she took out a beaker that gleamed in an ocean blue color.
To Jason, it looked like small stars twinkled inside the solution, while his eyes widened.
The solution Dalia prepared gleamed in a distinct green color and Jason's expectations soared, as he remembered his master saying something about an "extra" she mixed in the solution.
Filling the room with a sweet aroma Scorpio was immediately drawn to the beaker in Dalia's hand as he wanted to approach her.
However, Dalia instructed Scorpio to step back, as she pulled out a mountain of mana stones of all kinds of sizes.
'All of them are grade-3 mana stones?!' Jason noticed slightly taken aback, as he noticed Dalia taking out peculiar items.
Thanks to his mana eyes he immediately recognized them as ingredients with various poisonous attributes, which caused him to ponder for a moment.
Seeing that Dalia took out poison attributed items, they had to be a necessity for Scorpio's evolution and Jason followed suit as he took out all poison transmuted elemental crystals he mined within the four-star rift.
Looking at Jason taking out a mountain of poison elemental crystals, her eyes widened, before she remembered that her disciple seemed to have told them that he mined elemental crystals in a cave.
'There were also poison elemental crystals?' She wondered, inwardly praising Jason's luck, as she appeared in front of Scorpio, with the beaker still in her hand.
Using her mana to envelope the evolution solution, it began to float out of the beaker, slowly approaching Scorpio who greedily stared at the floating evolution solution.
If Jason didn't force Scorpio with their thick fortified soul conjunction to remain still-standing, he would have already jumped towards the floating liquid, as it slowly formed into a single large liquid ball in front of Scorpio.
Indicating him to drink everything, Scorpio didn't hesitate for a single second, as he greedily gulped down everything, without leaving a single drop, before he returned to the center of the mana circle.
Dalia walked towards Jason, leaving the mana circle, which was immediately activated, as both Scorpio and Jason felt a searing heat ravaging through their body.
Smiling weirdly, Jason finally figured out the first disadvantage of the fortified soul conjunction
'Sharing all pain!'
