Daneel could only stand there, like a statue, while he tried to comprehend what Drakos had just said.
'The secrets that lie behind the veil which hold the crucial knowledge regarding how one can ascend to become a Hero, and reach the levels beyond'?
Indeed, that veil had always existed between the Champion level and the Hero level, but Daneel could never have expected that he would stumble upon it in this way.
The shock from almost dying to those Heroes had still not faded away, and he had been subjected to another mind-numbing one.
Taking deep breaths, Daneel first tried to calm down and think.
Right. What all did he know about the Hero level?
Not much, actually. Only recently, he had found out from Rayen that no one could become a Hero without the Head's permission, and that, in doing so, one would be bound not to reveal any secrets regarding that realm to anyone.
Also, one would also be bound to Angaria.
