The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 624: People Excited to Learn

"A plan? What would that be like?" Vivian asked curiously.

Minos then looked at her and said. "Well, I have a way to disrupt the stability of that family. By doing so, I will create an opportunity for their other enemies to destroy them... But anyway, we can talk about the details of this after we settle a deal between your family and me."

"Fine." She replied as she looked meaningfully at Minos.

She was obviously very interested in destroying the Chambers family. After all, such an enemy organization had already seriously damaged the Hayes family, to the point that they had lost some of their experts above level 54!

As such, Vivian would not miss the opportunity to do something that could jeopardize the existence of this enemy.

That's why she was so interested in this matter!

But it wasn't the ideal moment to talk about such things. They had not even begun to negotiate the possible alliance between Minos' army and House Hayes. So, there was no way to talk about future missions that might or might not be done in the future.

With that in mind, she did not pursue the subject. Instead, she just continued to follow Minos with the rest of the group while listening to this young man talking to Mendy and those Feathered Serpents.

"Minos, as you can see, my family has accepted your offer, and we are ready to sign Soul Contracts with you." Mendy said, making some gestures in Vivian's direction.

"Hmm, that's good. I will sign the contracts with you soon." He paused briefly and then looked into her eyes. "They are in the City of Waters?"

"Yes. As you had requested, some of the elders of my family went to that city to sign contracts with Miss Eda. After that, my father and the supreme elder should visit that city in the next few days to wait for you."

"All right, when they arrive in that place, I will immediately go there with you." He said in satisfaction, thinking of other things related to that matter.

'Well, I will take this opportunity to check on Eda's progress. Then, after that, when Elena returns from Stone Island, I will let them change positions for a few weeks...'

After thinking about that for a moment, Minos put that matter aside. He then looked in the direction of those two serpents, who were following along that avenue. "Elders Lack and Gaia, on the previous matter, I'm afraid we'll have to negotiate a little more..."

Hearing this, Lack shook his big head in agreement. "Hehe, we expected that... But, young Minos, you can tell us directly what you want from us. As long as it is within our means, old Virtus and the other elders will probably accept."

"Is that so? Then..." Minos was about to say something when suddenly Eliot and his wife appeared in front of the local government mansion as if they were looking for something.

"It was true! That kid didn't lie!" Eliot said in an excited tone as he looked at those two serpents that were with Minos' group.

A few moments ago, they were walking through Dry City when suddenly they heard the conversation of a group of children. And after paying some crystals, the two had discovered that a group of serpents with wings had arrived in this city.

Upon hearing this, the two of them had immediately rushed towards the mansion, where they thought they would have a better chance of hearing about this. After all, this city was entirely controlled by their son-in-law's army, so Minos would undoubtedly know something.

As for why they were excited to see these serpents, this was because they were both great buffs of rare beasts. And since Feathered Serpents were not among the easiest to find, they naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity!

"Two Feathered Serpents that are already at the 6th stage of cultivation!" Nicole commented to her husband as she looked at the two beasts that had colorful scales and wings near their heads.

"Hmm?" The two serpents made some sounds as they looked in the direction of the two humans who were staring at them.

"Human, don't you know that it is rude to stare?" Elder Lack asked as he felt that one of those humans was a little stronger than him.

'Lack, those are the parents of the human who mates with young Minos!' The other serpent said, using their mental communication channel.

'Oh?'

Lack then moved his large head closer to Nicole and Eliot and smelled those two humans. 'True, the smell is similar.'

"Well, I'll forgive your disrespect this time, human." Lack commented, relaxing his large body and lowering his head.

Meanwhile, the people in that group intently watched the interaction between those four individuals.

Nicole and Eliot looked like two youngsters visiting a zoo, while Lack looked like an elder about to lecture two juniors. But nothing had happened when that serpent lowered his tone, and both parties began to converse actively.

Meanwhile, Minos, who had been interrupted, was a bit surprised at the reaction of his in-laws since he didn't know that the two were that kind of people...

'Ah, I think I was ignored...' He closed his eyes as he smiled, realizing that Eliot and Nicole were already entertaining those two serpents he was talking to earlier.

'Well, but this is better. At least I can talk to one individual at a time...' He sighed just before opening his eyes and nodding in the direction of Vivian's group.

"Come on, let's find a place to talk about this deal..."

"All right."

...

After a while, Eliot and Abby's mother talked to those two beasts in the back of Minos' mansion, in that garden around there.

They were very interested in the history of their tribe and some of the experiences of such beasts.

Both of them had already traveled all over the northern region of the Central Continent and met most of the local beast breeds. In addition, they had learned a bit about several of the regional tribes' history on such occasions through conversations with high-level experts like these two serpents.

Beasts, in general, would find it much more challenging to record their memories and knowledge, to leave them for future generations. However, even considering this disadvantage, they had much more knowledge regarding the past than humans.

That is because even the beasts of the worst lineages or the most impure lineages would still have a longer life expectancy than humans.

The most humble of them could live twice as long as humans of the same cultivation stage, while the most impressive ones could live up to five times as long!

Because of this, while a human at the 6th stage could live at most 1,650 years, a beast with a pure and high-ranking lineage at the same cultivation stage could live more than 8,000 years!

So, even with the difficulties in storing historical data for future generations, these beasts had some knowledge even older than that of humans in this region.

"Elder Lack, excuse my intrusion, but I've always had a question regarding your race." Then, Eliot started talking about the main point regarding the Feathered Serpents that he didn't understand.

"Oh?"

"I learned that the Feathered Serpents come from the Continent of the Beasts, but what I don't understand is why a branch of that group came to the Central Continent... Specifically our humble region. Do you know about this?"

Lack then sighed as he shook his head from side to side. "I also don't know why we came here and never went back to our homeland... Back then, I am sure that the first ancestors who came to this continent were powerful and talented."

"So, they should be able to return if they chose so..."

Gaia then complemented. "But unfortunately, we don't know what happened."

"We only understand a few things of what happened in the last 500,000 years. Beyond that, we don't know anything other than the fact that we came from the Continent of the Beasts."

"Oh? What a pity..." Nicole muttered in a low voice. "But how do you know that?"

Gaia promptly replied. "Through the years that our tribe has been living on this continent, some of our ancestors have had the opportunity to meet some beasts from that continent..."

"Some of them even knew about a bit of our history!"

"Hmm, Gaia is right... But it's just a pity that most of those beasts who helped us were killed for violating the Soul Pact with their masters."

"If it weren't for the lightning punishment, we might know more of the truth."
