Under normal circumstances, big clans wouldn't allow translators from other clans to look at the techniques and manuals one had received from foreign races.
However, so far nobody had been able to translate the techniques they had received completely, which meant that the Floating Sky technique's full potential had yet to be unlocked!
Marx Gier was fully aware of this, and he could already tell that the translated Floating sky technique would not only allow every member who practices it to become much faster, but also increase their entire combat prowess.
This increase of strength would prevent other clans from trying to conquer them as well as nullify the threat of getting conquered by the other kingdoms that would join the alliance Jason had proposed.
Other than that, it would allow him to have an additional safety net and the members of his clan would no more try to take over his position as patriarch.
The neutral body refinement technique Jason had translated and sold to other big clans before selling it to Merl Arths was already an indicator that he was capable of achieving everything previously stated.
As the realization hit them, goosebumps spread over both Seron and Marx Gier's body as they stared at the young man, who was playing with the little girl.
He seemed inconspicuous right now as Jason's stigma was hidden by some makeup, but they recalled how Jason had acted only a minute earlier.
Suddenly patriarch Marx averted his gaze to Seron as he mumbled,
"Are you sure that he was weaker than you before?... Even I feel weird looking at him as if a ferocious monster is lurking behind that outwardly gentle appearance!"
After that, he continued hastily,

There will be lots of problems, but his plan should prevent the worst-case scenario… That is, if the Drake clan and other greedy clans can be restrained, while the citizens have to calm down too…"
Jason hadn't overheard their conversation, and it was only when Seron approached him with a tattered manual in his hand that he diverted his attention from the baby girl in his arms to look up at him.
Seron seemed to be looking at Jason with vigilance, but at the same time, he remembered the time they had spent together.
It was not that Jason had changed but it was more that time had changed him!
From what his father had told him, the Great Argos war had been utterly devastating, and many had died, turned into cripples, or suffered from mental issues.
There were also stories his father had told about a golden-silverish-eyed young man, but Seron could have never have imagined in his wildest dreams that this man had been Jason.
'So...the story of the incident in the Yaslörn caves and the Blood eclipse caused him to change?'
Seron could not easily trust someone, however, Jason was one of the few people he did trust.
Despite him having changed, Seron felt that beneath the outward serious and powerful personality, his heart had still retained the kindness Seron had associated him with.
The fact that he cared about the Gier clan, or the weakened big clans was a testament to his reasoning
His father had given him the floating sky original text a few seconds earlier which he was now handing to Jason.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})However, contrary to patriarch Marx and Seron's expectations, Jason didn't stop playing with the little girl who was laughing out in joy, while being torn inwardly.
On one hand, she felt like a small child right now, happy to be playing around, but on the other hand, she was cursing herself for behaving like a little baby.
Even if she felt weird, Fortuna had to be on her side, because Anna couldn't fathom how else she could have encountered Jason at such a time.
He was definitely someone from a race that was at a high rank, but without being able to sense mana, there was no way for her to figure out the truth.
While taking the Floating Sky manual from Seron, which was in fact a Terra-Advanced technique with the correct translated name, Jason continued to distract Anna.
Reading through the first few pages, Jason was able to employ his knowledge about the weightless steps movement technique that was a sub technique of the translated part of the floating sky technique.
Afterward, his reading speed slowed down.
It was still fast owing to his refined brain, and mana eyes that perceived everything neatly, but it took him around four hours to finish everything.
"I got it." Jason simply said as he looked at Anna, who was now sleeping in his lap, her head resting on his leg after he had decided to sit more comfortably on the ground.
Turning his head to Seron and the patriarch who had been talking with each other and sending messages through their quantum bracelets, Jason said,
"Seron, can you write fast? I can do two different translations! One word-to-word translation, or the version I've comprehended. It's based on the weightless steps technique and the movement sequence that I copied from you.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Which one do you want to do first? Or do I just need to translate the former?"
Seron was staring at him in confusion, not sure what Jason wanted from him. Thus, he slowly turned his head towards his father for an answer.
"I think both versions would be better….but SON..I think you've forgotten to explain something to me! What about the copied sequence of the floating sky technique?"
While trying to ignore the latter part, Seron took out a bunch of papers and a pen.
"Let's do both."
Using paper and a pen was much better than saving everything on the quantum bracelet that may as well be hacked by others. This was also the reason why most big clans liked to use hand-written manuals without worrying about even a single word about their unique techniques getting leaked over Skynet or anywhere else.
Jason found this logical and didn't expect Seron to utilize the quantum bracelet to write down the translations, to begin with.
The entire day had passed until they had finally finished everything, and Jason sighed in relief when they were done.
It was more annoying to explain certain things, that required basic common sense according to him, but it was better to be meticulous in some explanations than being too hasty and undetailed.
If the techniques were not explained in a clear and precise language, the reader ran a high risk of injuring himself or herself in an attempt to practice such martial art techniques by following the instructions of the manual.
As the translated part of the Floating Sky technique was imprinted into his mind, he could try practicing it without any issues.
However, in order to master it correctly, he required lots of time, which he didn't have right now.
In the end, there were many things he had to do, but the most important for Jason was something different than maintaining peace!
After ensuring Seron's well-being, while completing some important missions on the way, Jason decided to infiltrate the Drake kingdom.
He was uncomfortable carrying Anna with him everywhere he went, but there was nobody he trusted enough, except Fasro and Lusan, who had lots of things to do as it is.
Till Greil was busy too, and he couldn't leave a transmigrator inside a small child with Emily alone!
That might even be worse than handing over Anna to the government, who had more than enough to do with different tasks.
Jason was already hopeful to hear Anna talking for the first time, and despite not knowing how long it would take, he couldn't help but hope that her being a transmigrator might help.
Not only would it be possible for him to alter his plans with possible information from her, but he might as well leave her on her own once she was able to talk.
At least, Artemis could look after her too instead of him doing everything alone.
It had been unlike Jason to randomly pick up a baby on a whim but after seeing the baby all alone, defenseless, and with an interesting former life, he had failed to muster the courage to leave her to her fate.
He just couldn't bring himself to leave her alone! Something had prevented him from doing so!
Once everything was concluded, Jason spent another day in the capital of the Gier clan's kingdom before he left Seron once again.
While flying to the kingdom for almost two weeks, he had altered his facial features with Solaris' new ability, while covering his stigma and retracting his aura.
Other than that, Anna was his final means to disguise himself!
Nobody would expect someone infiltrating a hostile kingdom with a baby after all!
