In the courtyard, a variety of unknown flowers and plants filled the space, creating a garden.
Loli was holding a worn-out broken sword, loosening the soil and watering the plants. She turned her head and asked, "What beads?"
"Those shiny beads on me, along with some stones. Those things are very important to me," Xiar added.
Earlier, he had broken into an underground laboratory and obtained a Memory Stone that recorded the Totem Armament Core Data, as well as a formula for an Evolution Potion.
He had memorized the potion formula, so he wasn't worried about losing it.
However, the Memory Stone contained too much information, and time was of the essence. He had only managed to look at two of them, leaving six unread.
This was technology he had risked facing the Disaster Beast to acquire, and he couldn't afford to lose it; otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to unleash his wrath!
Suddenly, Loli stood up, her hands twisted together as she lowered her head and said softly, "Um, um, those people took it away. I only kept one stone."
She took out two gray-black stones from her pocket and walked over to hand them to Xiar.
Xiar squinted slightly, his tone softening as he asked, "Jasmine, do you know who those people were?"
This was becoming somewhat troublesome. His mental strength had taken a heavy blow and would take at least half a month to recover.
Before that, even using Spirit Technique had become quite difficult for him. Not to mention he only had two Source Crystals left, and the Colorful Puffball was nowhere to be found.
For him, this was a devastating blow. Without the Life Sphere or Rune Factory, and with only two Source Crystals in hand, he couldn't even create a Half Totem!
"It was those people from the town who took it..." Jasmine lowered her head, feeling increasingly embarrassed. Taking someone else's belongings was clearly wrong.
"That Colorful Puffball was sold to a noble in the city for a large sum of money. I didn't agree at first, but everyone thought it was a reward for saving your life, so they sold it. Was that thing really that precious?" Old Evan sighed.
"Indeed, it's quite precious," Xiar smiled and added, "It could buy hundreds or even thousands of Steamships, the kind that can travel between the Two Great Empires."
Old Evan's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at him. "You're kidding, right? Those Steamships are so expensive that even the noble lords in the city can't afford them. There's no way something like that could be worth so much."
"You wouldn't understand..." Xiar said helplessly.
The True God Cult had established fewer than a hundred bases throughout the world, each possessing a Seed of the Tree of Life, and each Seed could only produce one Multicolored Life Sphere.
In other words, there were fewer than a hundred multicolored Life Spheres in existence. If one were to obtain Morent, it could be exchanged for hundreds of millions or even billions in wealth!
Yet these fishermen had traded it for a mere few thousand coins, making their decision seem even more foolish than selling pearls for a box.
Unfortunately, no matter how valuable an item is, it’s worthless without a buyer.
Once sold, it was gone. Xiar never liked to waste time regretting; instead, he immediately began to think of strategies to retrieve those items.
Seeing his serious expression, Old Evan realized that the item was not as worthless as they had imagined, but he felt powerless to change anything.
After all, it was a decision made by the entire village, and as a member of the village, he couldn't stop it...
For the next five days, Xiar stayed in the fishing village to recuperate, sharing meals and lodging with Old Evan and Jasmine.
Every evening, he would tell Loli many interesting stories, making her laugh uncontrollably or bringing tears to her eyes like a kite with a broken string.
Loli's feelings for him grew rapidly; if not for Old Evan's intervention, she would have already insisted on sleeping beside him.
Xiar finally enjoyed some leisurely moments, wanting nothing more than to tease Loli, do some chores, accompany Old Evan to the beach to look for various seafood, and occasionally go fishing or help Loli gather flowers and plants.
This leisurely time felt incredibly luxurious to him. During his time in Morent, he was always busy, never daring to relax for even a moment, his heart constantly tense.
Now, suddenly finding himself at ease, he felt a pang of reluctance to leave.
The fishing village, with its unique charm, gradually swayed Xiar's thoughts, making him long for a stable life here.
Unfortunately, Xiar knew all too well that the apocalyptic disaster sweeping the world was imminent. Without sufficient strength, merely surviving would be a luxury…
Moreover, during his stay here, he had revealed his astonishing identity—he was a healer!
In Old Evan's words, he was countless times more skilled than the best doctors in the city!
With his unparalleled knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the human body, Xiar could cure the vast majority of ailments.
In the few days he spent in the fishing village, he diagnosed everyone and provided many remedies that only required common herbs, earning him the reverence of the entire village as the Divine Healer.
As a result, various fish bone soups and nourishing medicines were brought to him, allowing Xiar's body to begin recovering rapidly.
His mutated body from the Evolution Potion had an astonishing recovery rate, equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of times that of an ordinary person.
In just three short hours, his body had nearly fully recovered, though his mental strength would still take some time to catch up.
The limited Evolution Points he had left needed to be preserved for emergencies; he couldn't afford to use them carelessly.
It was time to prepare for departure.
“Grandpa Evan, Sister Jasmine, I need to head into town. I'll come back to visit you once I've found those things,” Xiar said as he bid farewell to the two.
“Brother Xiar, you must come back!” The little girl cried, her face streaked with tears. She had wanted to cling to him and go to the city, but Xiar's journey was not just about making a living.
There would inevitably be some inappropriate scenes along the way, and he certainly wouldn’t take such a burden with him.
“Okay, be good. When I come back, I’ll buy you a whole new outfit and all sorts of fun toys.” Xiar picked her up and spun her around, gently wiping the tears from her face while smiling to comfort her.
Then, he boarded the carriage heading to the city, leaving under the hopeful gazes of everyone in the village...
………………
Atlan, in the forest near the coast.
With a rustling sound of swaying leaves, a massive creature emerged. Its golden mane was particularly eye-catching, and it stood nearly five meters tall—a giant monster resembling an ape.
Even more frightening was that it had a human in its mouth.
More precisely, it was a burly young man.
At this moment, the man's blood-red hair hung down, his eyes tightly closed and motionless, as if he were already dead, treated as food by the Behemoth.
The gigantic creature paused for a moment to sense its surroundings; its muscles rippled as its streamlined body gracefully navigated through the dense jungle, running eastward...
