Chapter 463 - Visiting The Eilric Family
The next day.
Theo had prepared to meet Nadia in the Eilric Family. He wore a plain white t-shirt covered with a jacket and jeans.
"Ava, take care of the home, okay?"
"Kyu!" Ava waved her hand, watching Theo's leaving before she leaned on the couch.
Theo, on the other hand, went out with his Metamorphosis since this form was quite easy to use to travel.
He followed the address and ended up in a rich neighborhood. As expected, there were some guards outside the neighborhood asking his identity.
Luckily, the guards let him in because Nart had told them about a visitor.
Not long after, he reached the mansion.
He didn't bother to admire this 10,000 square feet mansion and rang their doorbell.
Alea soon came out to meet him, which surprised him.
"Well, to think the young miss is the one to come out." Theo glanced at her with a small smirk.
"Don't tease me." Alea pointed at the right. "I was practicing there earlier."
Theo glanced to his left and saw a small circle of dried dirt. The circle was surrounded by grass that seemed to have been blown away by the wind continuously. At the same time, there was one line of dirt slightly entering the ground.
It just showed how much Alea had trained around that place.
"Well, I am just here for the treatment." Theo shrugged.
"Sure. Let me guide you inside. My mother has been preparing her tools." Alea smiled and extended her hand to the house, inviting him in.
The two then started walking for a while before Alea asked, "If you don't mind me asking, had you ever used your blessing when we were in the Grand Gaia? I am a bit curious."
Unfortunately, Theo didn't give her an answer, so she didn't pry about it anymore. She just wanted to know the gap between them, considering Theo didn't seem to have used his blessing this whole time.
She realized if she couldn't become like Nella, the gap would just become too big before she knew it.
Alea didn't say anything and led Theo through the mansion until they arrived in one of the rooms of this mansion.
Inside the room, there was a wooden chair in the middle with a small table on the side. A small box was sitting on top of the table with two bracelets on the side. Nadia had been waiting for him inside, so when he entered, Nadia said, "Come in."
Alea stood by the door while Theo walked to Nadia with a calm expression.
"Sit down." Nadia pointed at the chair while explaining. "There are going to be ten tests in total, starting from your Magic Power to its purity. We will see if your power is contaminated by that power."
"Got it." Theo nodded and sat down. "Do I need to do anything during the tests?"
"Nah. You are probably going to get bored." Nadia shrugged while setting up her test.
"Then, do you mind me asking a few questions about artifacts? I have been thinking about them recently."
"Sure." Nadia nodded. "I will just take it as me teaching my daughter about it as well."
"Good enough." Theo didn't care about her attitude anymore since Nart had already warned him. And he didn't feel like getting angry unnecessarily. "Artifacts are said to be items related to the past, right? I mean, the one we knew from the mythology. Do you think the other side is where the Gods and Goddesses reside?"
"You're not holding back your question, eh?" Nadia was slightly surprised by his first question and grabbed the bracelet and explained, "It's going to gauge the amount of your Magic Power. If there is a change, I can see it later."
Theo raised his hand as if telling her he agreed.
Nadia then put the bracelet on before answering his question. "There is a conspiracy theory about that, but we haven't found any proof other than the artifacts. Of course, humans have only ventured around twenty percent to thirty percent of the world… That's a rough estimate, we are not that sure either since we can't send a satellite up there.
"Anyway, with that data, we haven't been able to find anything related to the Gods and Goddesses like their tomb or body. Only the artifacts and some unique structures every now and then."
Theo recalled the time he asked Loki about his state. Loki only told him that they were not dead but not alive either. He didn't understand that phrase, but there should be a connection between his answer and this situation.
"What is the use of Artifacts?" Theo changed to another question to avoid telling her any information.
"They are something that can enhance your power. As you can see from the mummy king's crown… He could literally power up to match my power for a while." Nadia shrugged. "However, each artifact will cost you so much. It's not that easy to possess an artifact."
"How much does it cost?"
"It's not in the market. You can only get one from a black market, an auction, or your connection." Nadia paused for a moment. "That's why there is no fixed price for this thing. What you used was only a small fragment, so it wouldn't be too expensive. Probably only one or two billion Zils. That's the rough estimate."
"Only one or two billion?" Theo rolled his eyes as he was only a poor little boy who just rose to his position recently. "So, how many artifacts does the Eilric Family have?"
Nadia furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that question. She soon realized Theo was just trying to test her reaction, so she looked away and fought back. "Less than your Griffith Family."
Theo confirmed that Nadia was indeed not on good terms with the Griffith Family. However, she couldn't do anything to him because of his current status.
"Well, that's not an important question." Theo shrugged. "I am more curious about the artifacts. Have you found an artifact you can't identify?"
"It's not that we can't identify. It's just we don't have any idea who that belongs to. All the artifacts we have found so far are related to any famous figures, so yeah, it can prove the connection between the two worlds. But we can't find the details about it."
