As he stood, a stunningly beautiful milf appeared behind him like a ghost. With a tap on his shoulder, Karl jumped in surprise.
How?
Looking at his shocked face, Sheila giggled but offered no explanation. He appeared quite cute. He couldn't be blamed. Eventhough he knew these sisters were very powerful, he didn't know to which extent due to his limited knowledge.
"Don't waste your time thinking. You wouldn't have sensed my presence even if you were fully prepared." She said. He just sighed and left it slide at the back of his head. So far the people he has into contact with are powerful in their own right.
"Now that you have won the bet, am ready to do my part." He said. Though not worried as he knew she wouldn't ask something complicated right... right?
Sheila smiled in knowing. It's good he didn't forget about that or else she would be dissatisfied. But she wasn't in a hurry anyway.
They walked out of the building towards a quiet place. She sat on a bench and gestured at him to do so as well.
Karl was pleasantly surprised as she gave off a noble aura filled with elegance and grace. Eventhough she was stunning, he knew that her beauty was still under suppression. Then how beautiful was she....
"I know you are curious about us but with time you might find out. In this world we just live a carefree life but it doesn't mean the world is anything peaceful. But if you live for a long time and through hardships, you become numb. Some decide to live in seclusion, some seek more power while others leave the past and start new a life." She paused. Her beautiful blue eyes looked at him. "What matters in this world is power. If you are strong, you can make or bend rules as you please. The fate of the weak is unpredictable. Anytime they can be threatened or die without knowing how."
Sheila passed him a tablet. Curious, he read through the information but what he read slightly shocked him.
There are many weapons known and some are rumoured to be some where. These weapons are divided into ranks from Rank 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,and above which are still a mystery as there was no 'public' knowledge about them.
These weapons were really powerful as even a Rank 1 could not be underestimated. Most of these weapons are naturally made strengthened by cosmic energy.
His gaze shifted towards her. This was truly new to him. Never in his wildest dreams has he ever dreamt of weapons able to affect anything with just their presence. If so then what about those above Rank 6. A chill ran down his spine.
Sheila laughed as she could see through his thoughts. Who wouldn't be shocked if you knew a weapon cable of erasing your existence in a second.
"There is rumour of a Rank 3 weapon at outskirts of this city. These weapons mean alot to humans but nothing much to supernatural though they also need them. Humans will stop at nothing to get any weapon which appears. This is the only way they can close the gap between us in strength." She paused. She spoke calmly letting him sink in the knowledge.
"Though not useful to me, the weapon this time is very special. It has it own consciousness. This is very rare as even few of high ranked weapons have their own consciousness. Another thing is that it has some divine properties. You might not know this but this weapon will cause a war among many organisations if known."
Hearing her words from start to finish, he didn't think it made sense.
"Why?"
Only one word came out of his mouth to which she just smiled. She looked at the bright sky. Wind blew some of her hair which became a sight to behold. He had a strong desire to look at her real appearance but that was just a wishful dream.
"You can call it an investment in your potential. And its also part of fun you know, many will send their geniuses to gain recognition of such a weapon. It is with only great luck that such a weapon chooses someone as its master. There is a great difference between weapons with their own consciousness and those without plus it also has divine properties. You don't know this but gaining divinity is impossible to nil but with the aid of such a weapon, the chances are high."
He couldn't really get to know her thoughts. You can't really know the intentions of such an old entity. Who knows how long she has lived.
She tilted her head and glared at him much to his shock.
"Anyway what is the catch for this valuable information." Karl knew there was no free lunch in this world.
"Mmh. You are smart indeed. It is not much I want, I just want to inspect that weapon as it has divine properties. Don't worry at my level I need Rank 5 and above weapons." She said to clear his worries. "Am not that petty to snatch from someone though it can't be helped when it's an enemy." She said with a smile but he knew she wasn't joking.
"Am quite curious, why are you so sure that the weapon will choose me?"
"As you know my race, we are close with nature so if I didn't like your presence you wouldn't even be seated here." She said.
"Am flattered, is it a way of asking someone out." He said with a grin. He wouldn't lie. These sisters gave off a comfortable feeling but what he didn't know was that they also felt the same.
It might be one of the reasons she decided to aid him somehow. The others had no objection to it. And also they would stick together to the very end.
"Why would you think like that. Oh well technically if a phoenix isn't fond of you forget about leaving, you can only turn to ashes or an ice sculpture. I tried it a few times so feel free it's free of charge you know." Sheila said with a 'smile'.
'Free of charge my ass.' The corner of his lips twisted slightly.
"Forget it."
"Coward.hmph"
"Don't go to that place without assurances of escaping. You know it will be a tough experience their as you will find many people there. Some will be guarding their young masters and mistresses. Think carefully."
Karl couldn't help but look at her blankly.
"How rude now you are thinking of exploiting this lady."
"It can't be helped. Honestly it will be my first time on a suicide mission like this filled with lingering death. Forget about getting the weapon but escaping those old monsters won't be possible."
"Okay once but no next time though it won't be for free."
