Chapter 1041 - Visit

For a moment, the twins felt like there were two of themselves. However, they quickly noticed that it was just an illusion of themselves. The copies had neither consciousness nor life in them.
Following that, the Soul Binding Contract attached itself to the copies. Something like a seal appeared on the Soul Dummies before disappearing completely. The dummies themselves then seemed to disappear as fast as they appeared.
Seeing that the binding contract 'worked,' Fabio nodded at the two with a satisfied expression. "Very well. Now then, the assembly is already over, so I'll take my leave. If you need something, just use the token I gave you. The cities will give you everything you want as long as it isn't anything too ridiculous."
"Thank you, Senior Fabio. We will make conscious use of the token," Rean said in response with a grateful expression.
Just as Fabio was about to leave, he remembered something else, telling the two, "Oh, right! You don't need to worry about the other powers of Cosec City. None of them will try anything against you." With those parting words, Fabio finally left the room.
Sometime later, Rean and Roan made their way out of the City Lord's mansion. Rean then looked at Roan and asked him, "What do you think?"
"Nothing much," Roan replied. "We need to see how things will play out in the future."
Rean nodded in response. "Alright. In that case, I'm heading to the Vistrue Clan to talk with Ludio. Wanna come?"
Roan shook his head in response. "I'm heading back to the Lukimira Sect. Since we can get more information with Fabio's token, I don't want to waste time here anymore."
[That's Roan's way of telling you that he's worried about Calina, Rean. He wants to find a way to head to the Demon Beasts' territory as fast as possible.]
Rean nodded in agreement, telling Sister Orb, "Of course! What else could it be?"
Roan's mouth twitched in response. However, he didn't say anything as he did have some concerns about her. With that being said, he ignored the clown duo and left.
Seeing that, Rean smiled before sighing. "Well, it's not like I'm not worried about Qia as well. If he didn't say that, I definitely would."
[They should be fine. Since Frin ascended as well, he should be able to give them some protection.]
Rean looked at the sky before saying, "Let's hope so."
In the Vistrue Clan, Ludio had been received by quite a few elders. "Ludio, you did well!"
"Indeed! The fact you reached so far in the competitions proves our Yote Race's and especially our Vistrue Clan's strength."
"Then again, how were you able to bring so much luck to yourself? Our race can manipulate a little bit of it, but definitely not to that extent."
Ludio shook his head in response, telling them, "I don't know. I didn't feel anything different with my ability to control the strings of karma to generate luck."
Suddenly, the Clan Leader, an old man called Difal, touched Ludio's shoulder and said to him, "Go ahead, try to use it."
Ludio understood what the Clan Leader meant and began to focus his Divine Energy. Soon after, something that looked like golden strings started to appear in Ludio's mind. The Yote Race's special ability allowed them to see and touch those strings. However, they couldn't move them too much. Those strings, obviously, were the strings of karma. Ludio was trying to control his own strings at the moment.
Unfortunately, Ludio couldn't do much more than barely move a single one. That's what Sister Orb meant by a limit to this ability.
The Clan Leader narrowed his eyes after seeing that. "There's nothing different. His ability to control his own karma strings isn't too bad, but it's definitely not enough to change his luck the way it did."
Ludio then looked at the Clan Leader before asking, "I think I was just too lucky. We, Yotes, already have a good amount of luck due to our abilities. With that said, once we get to a day where we are lucky and use our power on top of that, it might bring huge results. Wasn't that what happened to me?"
The Clan Leader pondered over it for a bit before nodding. "Indeed, that's probably the only explanation. Unless someone else was manipulating your karma string to give you even more luck, your explanation is the only one that makes sense.
Suddenly, a subordinate of the clan entered the room in a hurry. "Cl-Clan Leader, it's urgent."
Difal narrowed his eyes in response as he asked, "What is it? Is there a need to be this worried?"
The subordinate then tried to calm down as he replied, "Sorry, Clan Leader. It's just that we got a visitor."
"A visitor?" The elders were confused by the subordinate's reaction just because of a visitor. "Who is it?"
"It's the white-haired twin. The one called Rean from Lukimira Sect!" the subordinate replied in a hurry.
"What?!" The Clan Leader and the elders were taken aback. Why would Rean come here? They did see Rean talking with Ludio in the assembly, but they didn't think it to be anything important.
Only then did Ludio remember their conversation. "Oh, right! He did say he would come to pay a visit later. It seems like he had something to talk about with me."
Difal was surprised to hear that. "What is it that he wants to talk about?"
Ludio shrugged his shoulders in response. "I don't know. Until the competition started, I didn't even know he existed."
Difal nodded after hearing that. "Alright. Even though the twins performed like that in the assembly, they're still part of the Lukimira Sect. There's no reason to worry about it too much. Of course, we don't need to be impolite either. Let's treat him as we would any normal visitor."
Everyone nodded before Rean was called inside.
"Hey, Ludio. Finally found you." Rean entered the room with a smile. Of course, he also noticed the elders there. "Errr... hello to you guys too!"
Well, he wasn't exactly very polite.
Ludio wanted to end that quickly, so he asked straight away.
"What did you want to talk with me?"
Rean scratched the back of his head as he looked at the others before telling Ludio, "Ahem....it's more of a personal request of mine. Would you mind if we talked alone?"
