Chapter 257: Ch 257: Intelligent Monster
There was at least a small city close to the Ashen Barrens but as the temperature around Desolate Plains of Gahana was too high, almost no humans lived close to it. So the closest place where Sophia was able to land her private jet was in a city called Owtiason. It was actually about 150 kilometers away from the Desolate Plains.
So after landing her plane in the small airport of the city, Rein, Ruby and Sophia started to search for a way to go to the Plains. But as the engines of most vehicles did not work properly because of the high heat, regular vehicles were unable to bring them there.
There were special vehicles called "Danger Rover" which had very high specs and they were able to easily travel even in dangerous locations. Sophia did have one of these but as the plane she had used to land in this small airport was also on the smaller size, she was not able to bring that rover here.
Rein started to ask around the city to see if anyone here had any model of the rover. Money was nothing to Rein, Sophia and Ruby so if they needed they could even buy the rover for 10 times over the market prize without any problem.
The business of this city was mining. Many valuable minerals appeared in this area because of the presence of Desolate Plains of Gahana. But mining these minerals was extremely hard and troublesome. But still there were daredevils who wanted to take the risk of mining minerals from this area.
This city was created by those daredevils and after modern mining methods had lessened the risks by a good margin, some big companies also put their eyes here.
Obviously as famous UR grades, all three of them were extremely famous. So in no time, they were able to meet with the mayor of this city. After knowing about their demand, the mayor got a troubled look on his face. Then he said in a troubled tone - Discover worlds on m-v le-mpyr
"There is one person in this city who has a Land Crawler Danger Rover seventh edition. But I don't think he will agree to lend or sell his car. He is a bit of a troublesome person."
Rein asked him a few more questions and soon got a decent idea about who this person was. He was one of the very first people who had come to live in this city. When he came here he was just a slightly rich man who had no future left after offending a powerful family from his hometown.
But he risked his life here to mine a very rare mineral called Potorstone. He was lucky and was able to find a decently large Potorstone mine. Two years later, he again found a mine of Orthirium ore which was even more valuable. Just like that he became one of the most influential people of this small city named Flamia.
Most of the other pioneers who had profited alongside him left this city and went to other places after they earned a lot of money from here. But this man named Ben was in love with this place and decided to spend his whole life here. The Danger Rover in question was something he had since he came here and it had helped him a lot during the most dangerous period of his life.
So it was almost impossible for him to part with this beloved friend of his.
...
After coming out of the mayor's house, Rein decided to go and meet with this old man. While Sophia and Ruby were going to look for some other way. The house where this man named Ben lived was very simple looking. Just looking at where he lived, no one would be able to guess that this man had a net worth of hundreds of millions.
Rein knocked on his door and after a few moments, a young boy of about sixteen opened the door. Rein was not surprised as he had already learnt from the mayor that old man Ben lived with two young orphan children. So Rein was about to greet this young boy but after taking a look at him, he froze.
Rein had a very good reason for his reaction. The boy in front of him was not a human but a demon. The exposed parts of this boy looked completely like a normal human but with his eye of truth, Rein was easily able to see through this boy's identity.
But from the looks of it, this boy did not have the ferocious nature of a typical monster and he looked to have intelligence at the same level as a human. Rein immediately suspected the presence of the worm that he had seen the Ashen Barrens but even after thoroughly investigating the boy, Rein was unable to find anything suspicious inside this boy's head.
After that Rein noticed that the boy was looking at him with suspicion and he calmed his mind to reply to the man. But then a young girl of about 20 also came out of the house and immediately Rein became even more surprised and vigilant. This girl was also a monster and she actually had the power of an UR grade.
Rein was extremely surprised again. That was because he was able to find something unbelievable in this girl. This girl actually had an amber of eternal fire burning inside her. So Rein immediately guessed that these two little monsters were from the Desolate Plains of Gahana.
As for why they were able to live so far away from the desolate plains was because this girl had the eternal fire inside her. Immediately Rein realised something. This girl was extremely dangerous. She was an existence who was able to lead the monsters of the Desolate Plains to the outside.
Rein contemplated a little bit about if he should be honest with these monsters that he found out about the true identity. From what Rein was able to guess, both of them were not evil. In his previous world, the existence of intelligence monsters was common sense so Rein was not too surprised.
But if he had only the memories of only this world, he would be completely dumbstruck as the concept of intelligent monsters was unbelievable for everyone. Rein thought about many things like this and after some time, he decided to come clean.
Rein wanted these two people's help in his research of the Desolate Plains and so having their trust was important. For that reason, Rein decided to not lie to them. So he looked at both of the young people with a serious look in his eyes and said -
"I have an ability which allows me to see through most types of deceptions."
As soon as the girl heard what Rein said, she immediately understood what Rein meant while the boy had a confused expression on his face. Then the lady took on a ferocious and serious glint. She started to release her powerful pressure that she was trying to suppress but even then Rein's expression did not change in the slightest.
Seeing this the girl was about to go all out and attack Rein. But before she could do that, Rein stepped forward and quickly hugged the girl. As she was expecting some kind of attack and not a gentle hug, she was surprised and was unable to react in time. Then Risk whispered in hers with all the gentleness he had that he did not intend to harm her or the other person at any cost.
This was sincerity that Rein was showing and if they rejected it and tried to attack him again then Rein had to become a bit forceful.
