Chapter 151

"Sure, I really want to finish this quest as fast as possible."

"Well, you are really lucky. I have found so many people who are excited about helping you."

"Really? Tell me who they are and what their demands are?"

"Easy, there is something I must tell you. There are two groups of people who responded to my request. The first group which has the majority of people is eager to trade their knowledge with your runes. The second group contains only one person and he doesn't want your runes."

Ibro felt strange and asked:

"What does this man want then?"

"He wants to meet you first. I really don't know what he wants but this man is a real treasure."

"What do you mean?"

"This man is like a saint in the soul cultivation of supreme energy. I really was surprised when this man responded to my request.

I'm not the only one to be surprised by this; all the players I know felt the same."

Ibro felt doubt as he asked again:

"Are you sure that such a man wants to help me? Can he be an imposter?"

"No way, he is really that saint. He reached a level in soul cultivation supreme energy no one else had reached. He is in a realm of gods for us.

If this man wants any help, he will get a long row of empires who want to help him badly. Gaining a favor from him is a very big event in this game. You must treasure such an opportunity."

"Then your meaning is that I should talk with that saint first?"

"Yes. Why did I get the impression that you aren't affected by that man's reputation as a saint? Don't you know the weight of this word?"

Ibro smiled. If he told him he got a saint back at his village he would feel shocked. That also made Ibro think about another issue. He got a saint in his village, would this saint also help him in learning one of these supreme energies? If so then that would be great.

"It's just I'm thinking about how to convince such a man to help me. Do you know what he needs? "

"I don't know actually. Such a man is in a realm I can only look at from afar.

I hope you can succeed in convincing him. Gaining the help from such a man in your early steps will affect your future marvelously."

Ibro smiled. He had one saint back home and now he can gain another one. That would be a great help to him.

"How can I contact him?"

"You can only use the market interface. As you are still here in this village then I asked him to add my sister's market to his contacts. He should be waiting for you there at the market."

Ibro looked at Noda and then asked:

"What are we waiting for then? Let's go there now."

"We were waiting for you Ibro. Let's go."

She answered him with a smile. She moved leading only Ibro while the rest of the gang waited at the manor. They knew how big this opportunity would be for them if Ibro managed to convince this saint.

The info Ibro would get from this saint they could get some from it from Ibro. Saint knowledge is priceless. A word from him would change the whole life of any of them.

They were more excited than Ibro as they knew the true value of such an opportunity. Ibro followed Noda silently towards the market. He got a feeling that she was trying to evade his gaze.

He recalled the last time they met and smiled. The distance to the market wasn't long, so in a few minutes, they entered the market. Noda used the interface and looked at the incoming messages.

There was some from her brother with many items as a trade and there was a voice message from the saint. Noda opened the message and a calm strong deep voice came from the interface saying with steady words:

"If you are the one who I'm looking for then you must have it. What is the most unique thing in your possession? If your answer is the one I'm looking for then I will contact you at once. Send the answer to Moran kid and he will send it to me."

That was all. Ibro looked at Noda and Moran to find their surprised faces. That saint didn't give them any room for negotiating.

"I'm sorry; I didn't know he was this strict. I thought he would ask about some info about you. I will look for the other guys who wanted to trade with your runes and finish the deal with them."

"Wait."

Moran looked to Ibro with doubt while Ibro took a deep breath and decided to try his luck. He didn't know what this saint was looking for and he hesitated to answer his question as this answer would pass through Moran.

He still couldn't trust him, especially what he was about to say was really one of his deepest secrets.

"Tell him that I got a system."

"You got what?"

Moran looked with a shocked expression towards him. He knew better than anyone what a system is. This word was like a myth as the hearsay about their empire founder was that he was a system user.

"Are you sure? You know this word is a more taboo thing than establishing the empire on the five supreme energies."

"Why is this word a taboo?"

"Because no one had a system and lived to enjoy his success. The monster's first enemy is system holders. There is a rumor here that the goal of this game is to create systems and make everyone use them. This word is no easy word to say. Are you sure you want to tell him this answer?"

Ibro felt a greater threat than he expected. He thought that the worst scenario was for Moran to know his secret, but he didn't expect the consequences to be this serious.

He wasn't a fool to not understand what Moran was talking about. He thought a bit about his options and decided to take a risk. That saint was looking for something special, wasn't his system that special?

"Just tell him."

Moran didn't say anything but looked at Ibro differently. That young player who came from a world outside the game world had many deeper secrets than he expected.

He didn't believe in Ibro having a complete system as this was a myth. He might have what they call a pseudo system. There were many pseudo system holders out there. They weren't considered as true system holders that were mentioned in the old legends.

It was a legend because if someone had a system then he could separate himself from the control of the game. All pseudo system holders had systems that depended on the game.

The hearsay about them was that they were seeds for what was supposed to be a complete system in the future. Some even would reach to his imagination and presumed that this entire game was one day a system for someone.

Theories like these were endless but what Moran knew was the pseudo system holders were doomed players. Their fate was sealed as they were the nemesis of these monsters.

Moran looked at Ibro silently while his brain was thinking about how strange this young man was. He had gained two taboos in this small amount of time in this game.

What would happen after a few years then? Would he be living a disastrous life? Or wouldn't he be alive at this time? He didn't say his fears as he closed the window with his sister and went to tell the saint about this reply.

Ibro waited for a few minutes with Noda who kept her silence. Her face though was saying a lot. She was really worried about Ibro. He didn't know what consequences he would face if this secret was known to outsiders.

She kept her silence and continued to pray that this saint would be a friend, not a foe. Even if he didn't find what he sought in Ibro's answer, she hoped he could maintain his silence regarding this extremely dangerous secret.

Suddenly she got a notification from the interface of the market indicating the arrival of a message. She opened the message at once. It was another sound message.
