"You are right . As far as I know, is something related to their species, but even I don't know what kind of species they are . "
Yale didn't know if that was good or bad, but it didn't change the fact, that they were still the most likely ones to know something about how to help Lar to become a human again .
"Have you seen them before?"
From the Governor's words, Yale felt that he had some contact with them in the past .
"Well, I guess you can consider it in that way . "
The Governor wasn't prideful of that part of his past .
"Explain . "
Yale could feel that his disciple didn't want to talk, but it was related to Lar's future, so Yale didn't mind if his disciple felt awkward . After all, it was just a matter of past, so Yale didn't feel that there was any problem in speaking of it even if it was shameful .
Seeing how serious his master was, the Governor decided to speak .
"Well, it is just an old story . If my citizens heard of it, I doubt they will continue respecting me, but you are my master, so I guess it is okay . "
The Governor closed his eyes, remembering the past .
"It started when I was young and inexperienced . I was an orphan, so I needed to rely on myself to survive . People like me usually die before reaching adulthood and becoming an immortal . "
For a lot of countries, becoming an immortal was a proof of adulthood, the age really didn't matter .
"Master, you should already know, but without a proper training method, it is impossible to continue training after becoming an immortal . Trying to advance without any reference is just a death wish . "
Yale nodded because that was the problem that Dan had been facing when they first met .
"Of course, for someone like me, there was no way that I could obtain one unless I swore loyalty to some power . Well, in my case, even if I wanted, there wasn't anyone who wanted me as a servant . "
Since becoming an immortal was just a proof of adulthood, being an immortal wasn't something that would catch the attention of others, and even less of that person was an orphan without background .
There were powers that gathered orphans to train them into servants that would give up their lives at any moment, but that was just brainwashing them, not because they were interested in helping them improve in their training .
As for orphans that were already immortals, brainwashing them was too difficult for little benefit, so they just ignored them .
"Thus, I decided to rely on robbery to obtain anything I needed . I was extremely confident in my capability to hide myself . Then, bit a bit, I managed to increase my power thanks to stealing methods of others . I didn't have one that suited me perfectly at the start, so I just went quantity over quality . "
The Governor felt that his past a thief was too shameful, and Yale already noticed that the Governor's relationship with those crafters was probably related to those activities .
"While I was slowly improving, I heard about a rumor that said that going to lower universes had a lot of benefits, but that unless one knew a special method to send only the soul, it was impossible . "
Yale didn't expect that was some relationship between those crafters and how the Governor obtained the method to go to a lower universe, but following the conversation, he was sure that it would lead to some kind of connection .
"I was greedy and investigated that by myself . Then, I discovered that a prince of a powerful country was going to use that method, so I decided to go and investigate him to obtain it . However, as you already know, the method I used was incomplete and lost all my memories . In fact, thinking it now, the only reason the guards of the prince didn't bother of the information leaking should be that they knew that using an incomplete method was almost certain death . Of all the people that managed to steal it, only I survived . "
The Governor hadn't acted alone, a lot of people worked together to obtain that chance since it wasn't something that only one could obtain . However, none of them noticed that it had been a trap, and the information was flawed on purpose .
"It was while I was gathering information about that prince that I learned about that powerful tribe . He once went to the tribe to learn from them, and I followed him, but once I neared the tribe, I didn't dare to near them and just watched from far away . "
The Governor would be scared to offend that tribe even after having become an eighth level immortal, so it was easy to guess how he felt while being far weaker .
After hearing the story, Yale didn't feel that the Governor's actions were particularly wrong, but he also didn't feel that leaking the wrong information on purpose was wrong .
Yale believed that most likely, there was some kind of strange resource needed to use that method, but the people backing the prince wanted to find a cheaper method and let other learn it on purpose to test it .
Otherwise, Yale didn't believe that the guards would let those spying them to leave alive .
However, Yale didn't bother too much about that matter, what he wanted to know was something else .
"You said that the prince went there to learn? It is possible learning from them?"
Yale valued knowledge a lot, and he would be happy to learn from those famous crafters .
Of course, Yale didn't plan to live as a crafter, but he liked to be self-sufficient, and if he could craft extraordinary items for himself and his disciples, he wouldn't feel that he had lost the time .
"Since the prince did it, it is definitely possible, but he wasn't accepted because he was a prince, I heard that some other princes from other countries failed . At the same time, there are also rumors of people without background being accepted, so it is impossible to know which criteria they are following . Of course, all of what I told are just rumors I heard . "
The fact that princes were the ones going to lower universes with their souls didn't feel strange at all since they had a strong background, but the same thing couldn't apply to ask that tribe to teach them . Background meant nothing to that tribe .
Yale didn't mind if everything else were just rumors because it was a fact that someone succeeded .
"I might as well give a try . Even if I fail to obtain the information I want, the travel won't be wasted if I manage to learn from them . "
Yale had already set that tribe as his next stop . After the wolf cubs had grown enough to travel, he would depart .
"Oh, right! I almost forgot . Master, if the rumors are right except for some basic methods of crafting, well basic for them I guess, it is impossible to teach anything you learn from them to others . "
Without that rule, the knowledge obtained from that tribe would have widespread across the world long ago .
However, even those so-called basic methods were rarely thought to others . After all, despite being considered basic, most people were unable to comprehend anything from them .
"Is this rumor reliable?"
When Yale asked, the Governor nodded .
"I am pretty sure that this rumor is true because it is said that a prince went back there years ago to ask them if he could teach a bit more to a friend, but he was rejected and told that if his friend was really worthy, he should ask that friend to meet them personally . That prince was the same person I followed back then, so it isn't strange if he returned years later . "
Yale would rather want that the rumor was false because he would like to teach others since he was proficient on it .
"The only strange matter about that topic is that the said prince is considered a loner without any friends . Well, not that strange among people with that kind of status . Others with a similar status just have political relationships with them, while those with lower status doesn't dare to be friends with them . Well, maybe he picked a pet or something and called it his friend . "
If a person with high status had someone as a friend, it would be strange if no one knew because that person would enter immediately into the list of people that shouldn't be touched or problems would happen .
Practically everyone with relationships with big powers was quite famous, especially among powerful people like the Governor .
After all, a weakling wouldn't pose any threat to someone who had a relationship with such important people, so it was alright as long as the powerful ones knew .
Yale didn't mind about if said prince had a friend or not, but he wanted to believe that the prince had a real friend and not just a pet or a servant that he called friend due to loneliness .
"I will go back to rest . "
Yale said that he was going to rest, but he really wanted to spend time investigating the training method he obtained from that criminal .
It was capable of reaching ninth level immortal, so Yale felt that he might use it to improve the method he had created .
Sadly, it was difficult to improve his method with just one reference .
