Initially, they believed that Jason was joking at first, but one look at his face told them that he was serious.
"That is not a joke, right? You don't look like you're joking at all!" Fasro was utterly dumbfounded, but even after scanning the baby girl with his mana fluctuations, he couldn't see that anything was off.
Lusan did the same, but instead of staring at the girl, he looked at Jason in confusion, who asked,
"Have you guys heard of the Yadras race? The memories I saw mentioned that race quite often, and I think she had been one of them before...but I'm not sure.."
Confused, Lusran was about to scratch the back of his head in confusion, when he heard 'Yadras race'
His eyes widened as his gaze flicked from Jason to the baby in his arms.
"The..Yadras race is one of the races you can't put into a normal racial ranking….It's difficult to explain and I doubt that you will understand it right now, but being talented to cultivate is even more important for them because they're born with three different cultivation veins!"
"Three cultivation veins?" Jason stared at Lusan dumbfoundedly, not quite believing his ears.
However, Lusan was not sure how to explain it either because his knowledge was not exactly profound. He was only 25 years old and still learning after all!
"Eh….to put it simply, other than mana, there are two more energies a planet can awaken. On Argos, there is only mana, but I've visited a place with spiritual force, which is one of the other existing energies.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Other than that, there is supposed to be an energy called primordial energy too, but I've never been to a place with that type of energy.
Either way, while everyone belonging to the Elvyr race is able to cultivate with mana, the Yadras race can awaken one of the three cultivation veins. If it awakens none, they're incapable of absorbing any energy.
Thus, they have to be fortunate to awaken a single, or even multiple cultivation veins at once! Even then they're not powerful because their innate talent plays a huge role too!"
Jason's head was already struggling to come to terms with everything that had happened during the Great Argos war and that mankind was insignificant, but now there were multiple cultivation energies too? It made his head spin.
What kind of stupid bullshit was that?
Fortunately, Fasro intervened as he said,
"Jason, you don't have to worry about that for now. The most common energy that exists is mana, and none of the three cultivation energy is superior to another. It will only be slightly more complicated if one is able to cultivate multiple energies, but to figure that out one will have to be tested first! That's not possible here, nor on a normal planet as all three energies have to be present and channeled into the necessary tools to test one's cultivation veins and if they accept multiple energies!"
In the beginning, Jason was glad that Fasro had intervened, but after listening to the young Ariyor, he couldn't help but feel the urge to strangle him.
As such, Jason decided to let the topic about three cultivation energies rest, and instead, he simply asked,
"So, the Yadras race cannot be ranked because of their unique constitution, and they might be the strongest, or even weaker than us as they can't cultivate at all?"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Lusan nodded his head, and Fasro was about to say something when Jason raised his hand.
"I don't think more information will help me in my current circumstances! It will only confuse and distract me. The most important right now is Argos and how I can help protect as many people as possible!"
Fasro was grumbling about being denied the chance to provide his insights as he mumbled, "I just wanted to say that they look exactly like you humans...there are quite a few races that look similar to humans, to be honest…"
When Jason heard this, he rolled his eyes as he faked a faint smile before he teased, "Being considerate is not one of your strengths, right? That is exactly the confusion and distraction I wanted to avoid…"
After that, Jason could only sigh as he asked with a trace of curiosity,
"Alright, now that you've already said it, do you know why there are many races that look identical?"
However, instead of providing him with a satisfactory answer, both Fasro and Lusan only stared at him dumbfoundedly which left Jason with more questions than answers.
After talking to them for a few minutes about topics like how the Ariyor and Elvyr race could help the best, they decided to stay on Canir, patrol throughout the kingdoms, prevent fights and help if required.
There were not enough members of the Ariyor and Elvyr race to look after the Archipelago too, thus, Jason could only hope that the big clans that had survived would pay attention to it, now that the Great Argos war was over.
He was only hoping that someone would help him venture to Astrix and take care of the matters there, and Jason pondered if he should just go there and try to placate the situation.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Yet, after reconsidering the high possibility that the Drake clan would just reclaim Astrix city because of the large mana vein, Jason had to dismiss this idea.
At the thought of the Drake clan, he was reminded about Greg, Malia, Mr. and Mrs. Fler, who were probably somewhere inside the Drake Kingdom, enslaved by the Drake family.
It caused Jason's mood to plummet and he decided to pay the Drake Kingdom a visit as soon as possible.
With his current capabilities, he was confident to disguise himself, and only his eyes would remain the same!
However, he had to ensure that nobody of the Drake clan and family would be able to associate his golden-silver eyes that had crimson outlines with young Jason and his distinct golden eyes!
Thus, as long as he was paying attention to maintaining a low profile, he should be fine!
In that case, he might as well be able to take Anna with him. He could turn into a refugee, at the Lowest Lique stage, who had saved her after her parents had been killed.
The more he thought about it, the more he believed that it was not a bad idea, and hiding both his stigma and aura should allow him to be seen as less powerful than he originally was!
Even though Petri would complete his evolution soon, Jason did not think that it would increase his strength enough to allow him to fight at par with a Prismar stage.
As such, he would have to pay attention to not offend them, yet.
Jason would've loved to beat up a few people to a pulp, like the entire blood sect, but finding the Flers was his priority right now!
The murderer of his mother wouldn't run away, and if he'd died during the last battle of the Great Argos war, it would be disappointing, but exactly what he deserved.
He felt that the murderer was still alive, and in such cases fortune was on his side!
Other than looking for the Flers, he also planned to look out for Seron, whom he hadn't seen for more than two years.
This was astonishing, and Jason hoped that Seron was becoming a great leader after witnessing how devastating a soul contract with foreign races could be!
There was something else both Fasro and Lusran had told him with a tinge of pride in their voices.
"Almost all soul contracts made by common races had been terminated after we pressured them a little bit. The punishments were not really harsh on the human race, to begin with, and only the Myöldra race seems to be a greater problem...well...and those humans who made a personal contract with the foreign races to become stronger.
I think those races with personal contracts will continue luring other humans into their traps, but if your race should have learned something from the Great Argos war, it would be that being cautious of soul contracts and strangers is important."
Jason just nodded his head with a shrug that seemed to say "I sincerely hope so", but he couldn't suppress his worry.
It was not difficult to perceive how self-centered most races were, and as long as they didn't exploit other races, making an individual soul contract without too many restrictions might as well prove to be beneficial.
In Jason's opinion, this didn't even have to necessarily be a downside if one were to look at it rationally. Not all races were shrewd and some contracts wouldn't force anyone to do something against their will.
Everything boiled down to the clauses stated in the respective soul contracts!
As such, stereotyping others was not how mankind was supposed to interact with other races or even humans who had accepted soul contracts.
