Adam, Leah, valentine and Ryan, all patiently waited for the sermon to be over.
During the sermon Adam had heard the doctrines of the eternal blazing sun , about how it had very powerful saints and well distinct archbishop that managed the church's affairs across locations.
just at the corner of his eye, Adam saw valentine calmly listening to the deacon Angouleme de Francois was preaching.
After the sermon ended, the believers slowly left the cathedral, Valentine lead Adam and the others to the deacon of the church.
Angouleme de François seated in a chair asked with interest. was the investigation regarding the vanishing of Shepards successful?
He asked this as it was the main reason for their deployment to Cordu village.
Valentine answered. Sir it was far worse than I imagined, there were numerous anomalies all caused by various heretics who believed in evil god. They corrupted the citizens, caused terrifying problems to Cordu and were almost successful in causing an evil god's decent. Luckily they were unsuccessful in their attempts but the damage was done.
The deacon calmly listened as valentine continued. My colleagues Ryan and valentine are her to report to their respective faction and send out wanted posters for the evil doers who managed to survive the ritual and escaped.
After a moment Angouleme de Francois said we have to head there to gather more information this report needs to be verified with evidence.
Leah and Ryan nodded in agreement.
Adam was just standing there barely interfering with their discussion.
It was at this moment valentine made a proper introduction.
This is Adam ka….
Valentine had forgotten Adam's last name.
Noticing this Adam promptly replied. Kairon, Adam kairon good day sir.
Valentine nodded and continued. Yes. He was the one who found us amongst the ruins and woke us up.
Ryan and Leah stood quietly as valentine continued to explain.
All this while Adam was just silently observing the room and listening to valentine's recounts of the events in the dream.
Adam was initially curious about this dreamscape that Lumian lee had placed them in
Although valentine and the other had made a brief recount of the events to him, he couldn't quite understand most of what he had heard, coupled with what he heard now, his didn't have the necessary mysticism knowledge to grasp the small details.
Silently Adam mumbled in his head. The situation surrounding Cordu's disaster is far more treacherous than I had imagined. I'll have to find means to gather more mysticism knowledge, The books I had taken from aurore's room contained very little information. I also have to find where I can translate or quite possibly learn Dragonese. The language written in the notebook that possibly belongs to my family
Valentine, Leah and Ryan each turned to look at Adam hoping to detect whether he would have some unexpected reaction to this new information the only thing that Adam's face portray profound confusion over this matter.
Valentine to only think. This special person has just been there listening no 'spectating' on our discussion, he truly doesn't know more than what he told us before. It would be better for us to keep him here and see how things develop.
With this the deacon inquired. Does he have a place to stay, as your team go back to Cordu ruins for a mystical investigation.
Valentine who appeared to be in deep though, regained his focus and replied. No he doesn't I was planning on asking you if he could stay here for a while until we got back from investigating Cordu's ruined village.
At this point, Angouleme de Francois called for an usher boy to assist Adam settle down in the cathedral. During valentine brief explanation he had sensed that there were certain matters valentine and the others were not planning on disclosing to Adam. So he called for someone to escort Adam to where he would be staying in the cathedral.
Soon after a young man wearing an ushering attire quickly came through the door of the office.
He looked like a normal individual with Lenberg facial features that was not too exaggerated he had bright brown eyes and jet-black hair.
The Youngman stood calmly and waited patiently for the deacon's instruction
Adrian can you escort Adam to the guest quarters and tends to all his needs. Show him around trier and answer any questions he might have.
Ok sir. I will do that. Adrian respectfully replied and gestures to Adam towards the door of the office and said follow me sir.
Alright. Adam said as he followed Adrian as they passed through the corridor to another section of the cathedral.
After Adam and Adrien left the area , Angouleme de francois looked at valentine and his group with a concerned expression
during the conversation he had seen valentine and the others reactions they seem to restrain from talking on vital matters.
He looked at valentine and his two teams and said what so special about this young boy.
He had already noticed my restraint from revealing too much information in front of Adam and had made an excuse to let him go for a more private discussion valentine thought
Sir its just the circumstances surrounding him is too suspicious. He claimed to have woken up near the ruins of Cordu with no memories or any clue regarding his identity other than himself, he also portrays a unique characteristic of being a half beyonder.
Angoulome de Francois perked up as he heard that. Is that so? Then what pathway is he from?
It's quite rare to see a half beyonder, they appear only when a parent who had consumed an excess beyonder characteristics. there are a couple of ways to extract excess characteristics but each process come with their own risk, either they ask for an assistance from a sequence 4 unshadowed to purge and purify the excess beyonder characteristics, or they have a child which will inherit the excess beyonder characteristics without the threat of going mad other processes are not properly known.
Valentine sighed and replied, we are not entirely sure, he shows signs of being a half beyonder from the spectator pathway as he has shown exceptional observation and behavior analyst skills that is well known for that pathway but…
Valentine suddenly paused appearing hesitant for what he was about to say next after a few seconds he continued.
He also showed a clear sign from being from the bard pathway. He was the one that managed to dispel the residual effects and woke us up from the dream. A sequence 9 bard is able to dispell residual effects of mysticism and corruption through song. Adam must have been humming when he approached dispelling the effects of the dream allowing us to wake up from the dream.
After Angouleme de Francois heard valentine reason he said, yes valentine those are the abilities of a bard. And there is a possibility for him to be both half a spectator and a bard.
Wha.
What do you call such an individual? , having abilties from multiple pathways should lead to madness and loss of control.
Leah openly remarked.
