Chapter 129: Golden Sand

Perseus POV

"So the only way of accessing any information about this tribe is through the cult?"

"Yep." Lilith nodded "The anti magic hypocrites who uses magic and preach about this so called one true god whose name is God, like I exist, what do they mean one true god? That's a disrespect to Saber even, I'm surprised he let them have a headquarter here."

That's blasphemous, but it's not like I'm religious either, so it don't matter, anyway, I need to eat and have a lot of rest, this is the first time I got a fever and if my parents heard this, I'll be grounded for at least 2 months, so I need to recover quick, we then talk about this cult later.

I have a traveling job and I can't be put in one place, so recover, and go find the fallen star, it's why I'm still here in the first place.

"Wow, this is cold. Ruka commented as she got into my room which was basically frozen and snowing on the inside

Buddy releases cold air whenever he sleeps, whether he has mana or not, it's apparently to help him adapt to situations where the habitat isn't suited for him, so that's why he usually doesn't sleep indoors since Trevor usually sleep in a room around 20 degree Celsius.

But right now, it's like below freezing temperature when he's supposed to only be a slightly colder aircon, what the hell is happening? We even sleep in a hotel that install mana crystals to periodically release cold air...

Maybe it's the desert heat, so he's giving out a lot more colder air than normal, Lilith is the only one who remained in my room as the other left to get information that can help us in a way where I don't have to talk with the cult.

The demons are teleported back home with the reports of Lilith being trusted by me to come along and find the fallen star, which gotten the demon lord's approval, since Lilith coming along did turn other people away from following me, and with her traveling across the desert with me, even if someone antagonize me, no one would actually try to pull an attack.

And if anyone's wondering that shouldn't she be an illegal alien? Well the truce in the negotiation tent also had both sides signed a contract, and until she leaves, she's legally here, so as long as she doesn't leave, people have to treat her normally unless they want to insult the royals who signed this contract with her saying that they have to tolerate her existence.

If people who despise her the most can do it and authorize it, no one else should do any different. And the reason why she can't go out and gather information is because well, she's still a demon at the end of the day despite everything, half truths will just be offered to her.

"Yeah, no one knows anything about a hidden tribe." Ruka reported "I tried my best using my influence as the blue rose, but this hidden tribe thing was just questioned and instilled curiosity into those folks."

"Fair enough, I might just have to approach one of em and say I'm interested while in a disguise or I can just appear as me but with some sort of angel wings or something."

"So are you trying to approach them like their second coming or something?"

"I can, light that can be detected as magic, surround myself with them a bit, got white hair, I can make myself look like an angel."

"Interesting, isn't it? To think it has side effects, what about your other one?" Lilith asked

"I just get very hungry and tired, that's pretty much about it. As for this one, as you can see, fever, also very hungry, very lightheaded from moving so fast. As long as I use them in moderation, I'll be fine, but not with that lightning quick terminator."

"Sad, you get tired fast, that's disappointing."

"Haha, very funny, I can guess what joke you're making from that tone of yours. But I don't think I have a lot of energy to move, I'm a bit fatigued from using this ability I got from Lucifer, I don't use it often and I should, but I didn't think I would need it even after all those practice I did."

"You're totally not as freaked out about it as I thought." Ruka commented "Isn't it one of your trump card?"

"One of. I got a couple more that I can use, especially at the brink of a death."

After a while, Leilah came in and she said she got something, it came from this guy who claims to be a descendant of the village of golden sand, the village has always been told of the fallen star and their chief has been passing on the information of the location of where it is from one generation to the other.

So, do we wander across the desert till we find golden sand? Well, not really, that will take too much time, there's a reason why not a lot of people know it, we have to know someone, and that guy is only a descendant, he wasn't allowed to be given the information by his great grandfather.

But he did refer us to this tournament that will be hosted by Tehios next year where we might notice people from the village participating. It will host people from everywhere and it seems that Lilith know this tournament as well and heard about the village.

"It's one of the only times where people from all continents can meet without needing to kill each other." Lilith explained "It's held every decade and we hold it to show off our might and scare most people off."

"I can't wait a year."

"Well there should be the 'talent stage' currently taking place around the continent right now, unlike most tournaments, to qualify for the preliminaries, you have to be scouted by an official of the tournament in these talent stage, you can lose a lot or win a lot, but only they can make sure you get to the tournament. I'm surprised you don't know of this tournament since your current chief was a previous champion."
