Chapter 4115: Old Friend Herbert
"A third one?" Everyone was surprised to hear that, and they all looked at Hick at the same time.
"W-What are you looking at me for? I didn't know of a third one, okay? I didn't even know Soltrex was here before you mentioned it!" Hick wondered if his luck was truly that good, though.
Roan decided to focus on the first option. "For now, let's get to Soltrex. Rifindio, you go back and continue your work. Considering the resources of the Empire, they might end up connecting that investigation you did on us all those years ago to the us that appeared in A1 and the Werdlem Universe. Chances are low since the identities and appearances were different, but it could happen. You skipping your work would be worse."
Rifindio sighed. "I guess there is no escaping the work, uh...? Very well. However, keep me informed. I want to know how things turn out."
Roan would do that anyway. "So be it. We will also need your help. Since your Universe Sentience can detect Soltrex, it would be good if it kept an eye on Soltrex as we go to the Mist Library. If Nyanta notices Soltrex moving, let us know. Only after we take care of Soltrex should we focus on this third Primordial Beast. For now, it would actually be better not do anything that could alarm it."
'Very well,' Nyanta accepted the task. 'The faster you finish your business here, the faster you will leave, so count on me.'
With that, Rifindio bid farewell to the twins' group and left with a Spatial Gate.
The twins' group didn't stand around for long, either. Kentucky opened a Spatial Gate, and they left for the Mist Library.
---
Ever since the Mist Library closed, it had been quietly absorbing Starlight Energy. Others tried to find a way back into it, but all failed. Even the Abyssal Paths connected to it couldn't be redirected anymore. Some even wondered if the Mist Library had actually moved location.
Of course, that didn't mean people gave up. The Library could provide you with all the answers you seek, including things that could help you with your cultivation. That was the reason most entered it last time, and it hasn't changed now.
Herbert, the leader of the Flintstone Clan, had benefited greatly from it by helping the twins' group back then. (Chapter 3341)
Thanks to that, he got what he needed to finally advance in his cultivation again. Recently, he managed to cross that barrier that had been holding him for many years, reaching the Divinity Realm Initial Stage.
The authority and power held when your background had a Divinity and when it didn't were like heaven and earth; they simply couldn't be compared. With Herbert's breakthrough, his Flinstone Clan took a place in the continental region stage, even if it was just a recent one.
Herbert, however, didn't simply forget the Mist Library. After it closed and disappeared, he had his clan move to Valames Valley, where Valames City was located. That's where the entrance to the Mist Library was last seen.
He didn't impede anyone from approaching it, though. The Mist Library was legendary; there were obviously other powers with Divinities that had an interest in it. Herbert couldn't possibly go against all of them. He just wanted to stay close to make sure he would be there if the Mist Library opened again. Also, look for another entrance into it in case there was one.
"Hum?" Suddenly, Herbert felt the opening of a Spatial Gate above his new Clan Estate. It wasn't anything uncommon to see one every few years, as both Divinities and especially Space-Time Realm Experts came to investigate Valames City.
The weird thing was that the Spatial Gate opened inside his Clan Territory instead of the City Range. It was quite surprising since he got the Formations Masters to close the space around his clan, and only he could open a Spatial Gate directly inside.
*Vup!*
Herbert left his room and appeared outside, looking at the Spatial Gate. Several of his elders in the Space Time Realm also followed him. Herbert could tell his Clan's Formations were still working. In fact, they seemed to be trying to close the Spatial Gate by force, but the Spatial Gate didn't even flinch. It had to be someone with quite some strength.
But then, he saw a trio coming out of it, a trio that he recognized way too well. "Ah!"
Who could it be if not the twins' group?
"Oh!" Rean smiled as he looked down. "Herbert! So you haven't died yet!"
Herbert's mouth twitched. "Why the hell would I have died?! Is that how you compliment a friend you haven't seen after such a long time?"
"Hahaha!" Rean came down with Kentucky and Roan as Kentucky closed the Spatial Gate behind. "Since we were coming here, we decided to pay you a visit. We were quite surprised when we heard that your Clan moved to Valames Valley. By the way, congratulations. You are now a Divinity."
Herbert wondered if Rean was actually making fun of him. "You say that, and yet, my Divine Sense is telling me the three of you are Peak Stage Divinities! How the hell did your cultivation get that high so fast?! You were so far behind me when we entered the Mist Library back then!"
Roan looked around with a cold expression, seeing the various eyes, especially of the other experts of the Flintstone Clan, looking at them. "Let's talk somewhere else, shall we?"
"Oh!" Herbert quickly agreed. "Right, right. Come with me."
Herbert then passed an order for his experts to stand down. Now they knew the newcomers were Herbert's friends.
In a private room, Herbert offered the twins' group some tea and sat down. "Peak Divinity... you must have got something very good after you asked the Mist Library Spirit your questions. Care to share a little with me?"
Roan shook his head. "For your own good, it is better if you know the least possible about us. We are here for another reason, though. We intend to enter the Mist Library again."
