Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Making connections and a tale….

Ronald jump down the skull and introduced himself. 

Judging from the old man's words, this woman should be the vice leader of the explorers guild. Which means a person he needed to have a connection.

"Hi, my name's Ronald, and no I'm not Ronald Haileye, just Ronald who has the same name and even appearance as the late Ronald Haileye, Nice to meet you" he raises his hand for a handshake

Levina raised her thin and slick eyebrows inspecting Ronald.

"He lost his memories..."

Old man Vance added from the side.

"Don't believe this old man, he's old."

Ronald remarked. 

Levina shook his hand and answered...

"Levina Edwards, Vice master of Explorers guild... Tell me, Ronald, how did you lose your memories"

'Edwards... So she is related to one of the founding families of the kingdom, the same stature as the Haileye family.'

"Shipwreck, the last thing I remember was desperately looking for shore... Of course, I now vaguely remember some things but unfortunately, none of them can help me vouch for my identity"

Levina then glances at the skull and back to him... "This is the one that sank your ship?"

"Oh no no, I just found this bad boy accidentally"

Levina wanted to ask more about the man's identity but set it aside for now.

"Seeing as you brought it here, I assumed you want to sell it to us?"

Old man Vance was about to answer but Ronald beat him to it.

"I want to auction it here this afternoon"

Levina responded with "You can indeed auction it here but auctioning these fast will not allow you to earn more"

Is Ronald worried about earning less? Of course not! He could sell however many monsters he wants if he wanted to, this is just pocket change.

"I have other plans"

Ronald smiled confidently as he answered.

Levina Edwards nodded. "Alright. The guild will take on this task. 5% of the commission will belong to the guild."

Ronald raised his eyebrows in surprise, he thought the guild will take 8 percent at least but it looks like the vice master decided to be generous.

Soon, a bunch of people took the bones and tried to assemble them for display for the auction this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Ronald successfully invited the vice master for a talk.

There was only one reason why he did so, he planned to make friends with the vice master. This was the start of his many connections.

“Vice master, Thank you for having me”

“No problem.”

Levina was a woman of short words, It seems she didn’t like to talk much and was straightforward.

Ronald, sat comfortably on the couch as he crossed his legs and stared at Levina across him.

“To be honest… Even though my memories have become muddled, there are some things I remember that are very useful.”

Someone handed them tea as Levina also crossed her legs and listened,

“Vice master, what do you think are some of the most valuable creatures out there at the sea??”

Levina raised her eyebrow as she didn’t expect this question… “Quite a lot, some monsters can be made into medicine, some armor, and weapons, and some… can help in strengthening a human…”

Ronald was a bit surprised hearing the latter. Thinking about it now, although he knew there were magical people in this world, he never questioned how they got their abilities. It seems some monsters can be used as ingredients that can give abilities to people.

“I plan to open up something like... an aquatic farm… among the memories I remembered there are some that are very useful in nurturing, luring, and catching some rare creatures….”

“ I was hoping you could provide me some list of valuable creatures, their worth, and their uses.”

Ronald could have asked the old man this but decided to talk about it with the vice master so that he could have a rapport with her.

Levina looked at him with a doubtful gaze, just as he was about to say more, he suddenly noticed the map of the sea from the side.

He didn’t notice it before as he thought it was just a normal decoration but something caught his eye…

It was the map of the east sea, he could see the islands owned by the Windsor kingdom, there were many small footnotes all over the sea and what caught his eye is a red circle at one particular place with a small footnote…

[Place unknown: No one has ever returned alive from venturing into this part of the sea]

Seeing where the red circle was, memories flashed by him, there was a strange force in that part of the sea that even he couldn’t fully investigate.

One thing is for sure though, any creature or things will be forcefully sucked like a black hole once they head there. He had no idea if there was another side to it.

Ronald particularly remembered the place cause it was one of the few things in the sea that made him chilled. Especially that thing….

Then again, the last time he visited it, he still hadn’t had his current evolution yet and he didn’t visit the place again.

He was thinking about these in a flash but Levina noticed it…

“You seem to recognize the place…"

Ronald immediately retracted his gaze seeing Levinas's curious eye.

He had no idea what information they have on that place but decided to give them a bit of what he knew...

Sitting comfortably on the couch Ronald said slowly...

"I do remember something about the place...  A tale to be exact"

It wasn't a tale, he was just making things up based on what he saw...

"Do tell..." Levina with the same tone as before responded.

Ronald frowned as he tried to find the right words...

"It's said to be a place where.... a god is sealed...."

Levinas's pupils immediately constricted upon hearing that information.
