"Young man, why are you so interested in this? What difference does it make to you whether we are rted to this person?"


    Minos heard that question and answered. "It''s nothing. I just got curious. I''m a fan of ancient history, and knowing about that expert, I couldn''t help but associate you with her... But if you are not rted to her, excuse my intrusion. I just said things I shouldn''t have."


    The three youths in that group looked strangely at Minos, feeling that as much as his words seemed true, he seemed to be hiding something.


    ''What exactly does he want? Why did he intercept us just for that?'' The level 81 woman wondered.


    However, even though it was strange, considering the strength of Minos'' group, the strongest ones there couldn''t help but consider that there was a high possibility that his words were true.


    After all, if Minos were an enemy who had just identified them, the correct reaction would be to follow them silently after sending a notification to his forces. However, this person had chosen to show himself and introduce himself to them, getting right to the point with a matter crucial to them.


    In this case, they judged that there was more chance that Minos was a fool who had just taken a chance for his own curiosity than an opponent trying to deceive them.


    Minos said. "In any case, it really makes no difference. So if there''s nothing more to discuss, I''ll depar..."


    "Wait a moment." That level 85 fellow shouted. "Since you''vee to us, why don''t you stay a little longer? We are not rted to the Goddess of Life but know her history and symbol.


    We are interested to hear the stories you have heard about this expert. If it''s not too much to ask, could you tell us about it while we eat? Is that okay?"


    The group of these people was much stronger than Minos''. So that person didn''t need to ask their opinion for them to stay. But as someone who still hadn''t decided whether this red-headed, overweight man was a liability or had helpful information to them, this expert had decided to give this ''Edgar'' guy a chance to talk more.


    If his information matched what his family had only kept between its members, this man wouldn''t mind releasing Minos and his group without problems.


    But if these people proved suspicious, he would not hesitate to kill them!


    The beasts beside Minos, especially the Spiritual Sage, didn''t like that at all, feeling that they would be in danger if they went that way.


    But their leader responded to that expert''s ''invitation.'' "That''s not a problem. As a merchant, I love to chat while eating, hahaha."


    Minos took a few steps forward and greeted that Spiritual Sage, surprising everyone from his group and the other people there.


    The level 85 man pressed one of Minos'' hands while thinking to himself, ''Let''s see what you have, Edgar.''


    After a few moments, as the beasts beside Minos stood silently, watching the surroundings intently, he and that level 85 man began to eat and talk.


    The other humans in the area, members of that group descended from the family of the Goddess of Life, were not eating either, too nervous about the situation to be hungry.


    But Minos was not bothered and soon began his story. "I first heard of the Goddess of Life from an extinct group formerly known as the Scourges of the Devil. They worshiped the figure of the God of Death, the great enemy of the Goddess of Life.


    However, little did they know that their headquarters had been built in a shrine of followers of the Goddess of Life."


    "Oh? There was such a group in the northern region?" The stronger man there asked, noting that Minos knew quite a bit about the Goddess of Life, even though the Spiritual Church hadrgely erased her history.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Few knew about the Goddess of Life and the God of Death in the Central Continent, and the numbers of those who knew about the enmity of the two were even smaller. So ''Edgar'' knowing this indicated that he was privy to many things that one would usually not be able to ess.


    Minos continued. "Yes, and the one who supposedly essed the inheritance of the Goddess of Life got the location of the inheritance from this group.


    Through that, they were taken to the territory formerly belonging to the Kingdom of Waves, where the vige of the Goddess of Life was located in the remote past."


    When Minos said this, those three individuals, nobles of the family descended from the rtives of the Goddess of Life, couldn''t help but open their eyes in amazement, noticing that ''Edgar'' knew the location of their vige.


    The Goddess of Life''s vige had been annihted, but a few rtives of the Goddess of Life were not around then. After all, the Spiritual World was too big for an entire family to stay in the same ce all the time!


    Through these survivors, that family''s lineage has endured to the present day.


    But given the mishaps of fate, those rtives of the Goddess of Life had never been able to see her again in life, having at most heard of her great deeds and worshipped her figure.


    Hearing of the location of their former tribe, they were surprised, for their ancestors had tried to explore that area in the past, looking for possible items left by her.


    Unfortunately, at the time, they were weak and had problems with the region''s level, which was still quite strong at the time. They also had not found the key to that ce underground in the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Waves, having given up looking for that woman''s heirlooms long afterward.


    After the weakening of that region, a lot of looting and searching for treasure happened. That had made the family members at that time think that what might have been left behind had already been taken, finally putting aside their hopes of getting something through the Goddess of Life.


    Hearing from Minos that there had even been an inheritance from that woman all this time, and she was in the ce where her family had been raised, those people couldn''t help but be surprised.


    The eyes of the level 85 man were trembling as he asked. "Who obtained this inheritance? Do you know what kind of treasure this person got?"


    Minosughed internally and said. "I don''t know what they got. But I do know that Emperor Stuart and one of his wives managed to enter the independent space created by that woman, where they seeded in their journey to gain her inheritance."


    "Emperor Stuart?"


    "That Minos Stuart?"


    The people in the area, including the beasts, were interested to hear about this troublesome young man who had appeared on the continent recently.


    Not everyone knew about Minos''test aplishments. Still, even ordinary people in the Central Continent had heard about him once or twice.


    For people at their levels, they had heard even more detailed information, so everyone there knew Minos'' name.


    "Yes, I heard the story from the Stuart family a few years ago... He is an important ally of the empire, after all." ''Edgar'' said, smiling.
