Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 189 Liondra

Chapter 189 Liondra

Mathias fell silent for quite some time after Bella left.
Meanwhile, Nial was faring much better and had his emotions under control.
He was a bit sad that Bella had left them but it was even more important for him to be one step closer to reuniting with his family.
Until now, he had told no one about what exactly had happened to his family because he felt that it might endanger them but it was not as if Miranda, Mathias, or Bella were stupid.
Though they did not know the details, they clearly understood that something major had happened, leading to the separation of Nial and his family.
It was only obvious that they were curious about the reason for their separation and why Nial was desperately trying to reunite with his family but it was not their business to interfere in Nial's personal matters.
Moving to Liondra was only Nial's first step and he would slowly gain more intel before doing anything that might endanger his dear family.
This was the most important for now!
After Bella had left, there was not much left for Mathias and Nial to do.
Not wasting more time than necessary, they waited only for Miranda to finish everything in the Teradan military camp before leaving with the two young Originals.
Just like that, the Teradan military camp, which was supposed to be a glorious period in the life of any young Original, had ended without celebration or happiness. What was left was far more trouble awaiting mankind.
The public opinion of the military camps had hit rock bottom. Not many civilians saw the military camps in a favorable light because the Instructors, Soldiers, and higher-ranked authorities were not even capable enough to protect their youngest generation.
Each participant of any of the ten military camps had the potential to create Intermediate Origin rings at the bare minimum. Their talent was not to be underestimated and they were important seedlings for mankind's future growth and safety.
Yet, at the end of the day, more than 20,000 young Originals, who could have been considered prodigious in some ways, died when the Dryx infiltrated the most crowded areas of the military camps.
It was truly a mess and the military and government's good reputation was now in tatters.
The online forums were filled with complaints and heated debates, the parents of the young Originals were openly demanding an explanation of the events, and some of the highly influential families were even openly declaring that they wanted the military and government to be reformed.
Losing their precious little child was among the worst things that could happen to a parent. The angry and frustrated reaction of the parents was only feasible in Nial's opinion.
Even he felt that the military and government had messed up big time.
It was already hard enough to create five Soul Space fragments of the lowest quality to create one teleportation array.
However, there had been a total of 18 teleportation arrays, meaning that 90 Soul Space fragments of the lowest quality had been nourished by someone, and implanted in various high-ranked Originals before they exploded the moment the Soul Space fragments had been activated.
In Nial's opinion, it was near-impossible not to notice the existence of 90 Soul Space fragments. In fact, it was not like they didn't radiate any fluctuations.
As long as someone paid attention to the Originals, who had been implanted with the Soul Space fragments, it should have been possible to notice them.
That was, at least, what Nial thought. He couldn't understand how the military and government messed up so hard.
'Well, whatever.'
Reaching Liondra didn't take long and their journey was much easier than expected. In the end, Nial, and the others, who wanted to be teleported to Liondra had to make four trips with short-distance teleportation runic constellations.
After the first teleportation, Nial noticed that they had ended up somewhere underground, where mana was completely isolated from the outside world.
The small space in the underground didn't provide them with much room to move but that was not necessary, to begin with.
Less than a minute after they had been transported to the small underground space, the teleportation runic constellation moved them once again.
They landed in a different underground space, which Nial clearly perceived owing to his highly enhanced senses.
The same process of being teleported underground repeated itself once again before they were finally teleported to the surface.
Everyone felt a little bit nauseous after going through four teleportations through space in a matter of five minutes.
The majority of Soldiers and young Originals vomited because they couldn't hold back their breakfast in their stomachs anymore.
Nial also felt dizzy and miserable because his senses were manifold more sensitive than anyone else. However, he didn't vomit because his mind was fully focused on the restriction of his senses.
When they had been underground, Nial had perceived numerous wondrous things but none of them was comparable to being teleported in the middle of a crowded area, where thousands of civilians and Originals were bustling around.
Nial's Mana Sense and his other senses perceived everything at once. The only issue was that his brain had to digest everything and sort it properly, causing a severe headache.
It took him almost an entire minute before he got his act together. However, when he had overcome the dizziness, Nial felt overwhelmed by the number of humans, who were walking through the streets.
There were thousands of humans, and none of them seemed to be scared of being attacked.
It was almost as if the existence of dungeons were no problem for Liondra, let alone the fact that more and more dungeons appeared all over the eight shelters and the ten Military camps, whose futures were still unknown.
Not even the most recent incident with the Dryx's invasion seemed to bother the humans as their expressions, actions and the Originals' mana fluctuations clearly showed how carefree everyone was.
"Are we still on the same planet?" Nial suddenly mumbled, feeling stupefied by what he perceived.
Miranda merely smiled before she ignored his question. They were currently still inside a building and had to undergo a few tests before they were free to enter the city.
This was necessary to prevent unknown viruses, various lethal bacteria, and contagious diseases from entering and spreading through the city.
Other than that, a few more examinations had been added for everyone, who desired to enter any of the eight shelters in light of the recent Dryx attack.
Even Miranda was not exempted from following the procedures, which was why she led Nial and the others to the place of the examination.
The examinations didn't take long but Nial clearly noticed that he was stared at by the examiner for a long time after he finished his examination.
'If not for my good hearing sense, I would have definitely thought that this girl has ill intentions…can't she just go on and do her job?'
The girl's intense stare caused chills to run down his spine but he clearly heard her when she had been mumbling out her disbelief quietly.
"He is at the 7th Origin rank but his physique and the size of his mana core exceed the threshold of a 10th Origin rank Original already… He doesn't have any kind of Special trait, let alone an Innate ability either according to the examination device….so why is his real strength so different to his Origin rank?"
Because there was nothing wrong with Nial's examination, and the girl was merely confused about the data the examination device was able to perceive, it was no problem for him to keep going.
There was no need for him to waste any time in the highly-protected House of Teleportation and Examinations.
Rather than wasting time, Nial first wanted to sell various runic armaments to make some quick cash. Afterward, he was ready to purchase numerous treasures such as high-quality Superior grade Origin crystals and much more.
Nial was ready to go all in and to spend his time becoming much stronger. It was also very important for him to find out more about Liondra's Eclipse Assassins to get to know more information about his family.
But even if he wanted to approach the Eclipse Assassins organization directly, he needed more strength, or he would have to tell Miranda about everything.
However, both telling Miranda, let alone asking her to help him might be dangerous for his family.
In the end, only Serl Tyr and Melvin were supposed to know who had taken his family away from him, let alone that they had been brought to Liondra.
The fact that his family was not in Liondra anymore could not be ruled out either. They might have been shifted to some other place.
But Nial didn't even want to think about something as terrifying as the possibility of his family being somewhere else.
After all, he had taken his first step toward them. It would be quite frustrating if they were once again dragged further away from him.
However, it was not as if Nial had any detailed information about his family's whereabouts. He merely took the first step to get to them and had to get his hands on more information.
It was time for him to make use of his money, to get stronger, and to get some valuable information without being found out!
Thus, once Mathias and Miranda were also done with their examination, the first stop they made was at a big shop, where both he and Mathias could finally show off their treasures and wealth.
