MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 907 Planning What's Next

'Thank the heavens you finally picked up.' At the moment Vaughn's voice began to resound in his mind, Valyr immediately heard the man nag at him.

Letting out a faint sigh, the young man shook his head as a slight smile hung on his face. "You've already spent over 200,000 years getting to this point, can't you just wait a little bit longer? Had to get you out of the spatial bracelet and all."

"Speaking of which, can you hear me right now?" he asked soon after, only to try conversing through his thoughts after that. 'How about this? Could you hear me through this?'

'Whether you talk out loud or not, I could still hear you loud and clear,' replied Vaughn, letting out a bit of laughter in response.

Keeping the man's words in mind, Valyr went ahead and directly asked the man the question that was on his mind. 'So, what made you contact me? Does this have something to do with your conversation with Ryvrthe? Or does it have something to do with my request about the curse?'

'A mix of both, actually.' Hearing this response from Vaughn, Valyr imagined that the man was scratching his cheek as he said that. 'I have a lot to say regarding Ryvrthe, so let's talk about your curse from the Alltide first.'

Subconsciously nodding in response at the man's words, Valyr waited in silence for the man to give him what he wanted to know.

Fortunately, it did not take long for Vaughn to start talking again. 'Well, to start things off, I've already spent a lot of time on formulating something that would allow you to toggle the curse on or off whenever you wish.

'After all, only my memory extension is affected by the sped-up passage of time in that place,' he continued. 'Instead, my main body, the one you're talking to, has taken up the task of coming up with the solution, even going so far as to enter a temporal realm just so you could get it earlier.'

Hearing those words, Valyr felt a hint of confusion. 'But didn't I say back then that it would be fine if I had to wait for it? You did say that you would be able to come up with a solution around the time the war reaches its climax.'

'I did,' said Vaughn in response, causing the young man to imagine the former nodding. 'But my gut feeling says that if I were to continue with that plan, coming up with the toggle for the curse might be too late by then.'

'Well… let's just say that, at times, the gut feeling of a Divine-level being is more or less a universal truth. After all, at that point, you're more or less intricately connected to the universe.'

'…' Though Valyr did not know whether Vaughn's words were true or not, there really wasn't any downside to the latter coming up the solution to his curse earlier.

Then again, when he thought about the gut feeling the man had, as well as the ominous warnings he read from the titles earlier, the young man could not help but slightly shudder.

Taking in a few deep breaths to compose himself, Valyr eventually continued where their conversation left off. 'So… how long would it take you come up with the curse now?'

'Around two to three weeks in your time, I presume,' said Vaughn through the talisman. 'The temporal realm I'm in right now is compressing the flow of time to where one day in the outside world is equivalent to a couple of years here, so I should have plenty of time to come up with the solution and refine it even further.'

'Either way, I'm forking out a hefty sum to stay in this place… but I'm sure this will pay itself back later down the line.'

'I'll have to thank you for spending more resources for me in advance, then,' said Valyr after going silent for a bit, feeling a bit conflicted at the fact that a Divine-level being was going this far for his sake.

But once again, as he was the one benefiting from it, he wasn't really in a position to complain.

'How about the one involving Ryvrthe?' Feeling as if Vaughn had said everything he could on the curse, Valyr decided to shift the topic of their conversation to the other thing the man brought up earlier.

'That one…' Hearing the young man take the initiative in bringing it up, Vaughn let out a slight chuckle. '…is probably going to turn out to be burdensome for you.'

'How so?' asked Valyr back, raising his eyebrow in curiosity.

'Remember how you got Ryvrthe and I to talk before you left for Veldanyr?' asked Vaughn in response, to which Valyr responded with an audible grunt.

'Well, Ryvrthe… mind if I call him Vrauford instead?'

'Whatever you're more comfortable with.'

'Alright… So, Vrauford and I have been talking a lot about our civilization from the past, reminiscing over our times from back then,' said the man as he began to explain. 'We talked about how we adapted our lives during and after the Great Cataclysm, considering the two of us took two different approaches.'

'Surprisingly, Vrauford told me that he and the others that were in the underground complex back then were spared by Bagh'rava and Qro'dovitch while they were wreaking havoc on the planet.'

'According to him, he was at the very front of the ones in the underground complex back then, staring at the two Arbiters in the eye,' said Vaughn. 'Then, out of nowhere, the two turned around with a chuckle before leaving them be, talking about how interesting it would be to keep Vrauford and the others confined in the underground complex.'

'In other words, they treated Ryvrthe and the others as an experiment of sorts?' asked Valyr after listening to the man's explanation, frowning as the words came out of his mouth.

'Pretty much, yeah,' replied Vaughn, though the young man was certain that he was sporting a bitter smile while responding.

'I'm sure you've heard it directly from Ryvrthe how they survived all these years.' Shifting the conversation back to their original topic, Vaughn continued where he left off as Valyr continued to attentively listen.

'Eventually, we talked about our plans for the future.'

'Specifically, Vrauford's future, as well as all of the other Forsaken Ones,' said Vaughn, his tone now serious.

'I asked him what he planned on doing next, telling him by the side that you were now the owner of the Four Pillars' Inheritance.'

Curious, Valyr asked. 'What did he say?'

'He said that it depends on what you want to do,' replied Vaughn, causing Valyr to slightly frown. 'He said that since you're now the owner of the inheritance and that they've been living in the inheritance their whole lives, that meant you owned them in a way.'

'The thought never even crossed my mind,' said Valyr in response, to which the man let out a bit of laughter.

'That's what I told him as well,' replied Vaughn, continuing to laugh for a bit more after that. 'I told Vrauford that you probably wouldn't mind if they asked to be let out of the inheritance and return to Veldanyr again.'

'I wouldn't.' Valyr agreed with that statement. 'Though, it'll be difficult for them to adjust with their appearance and language and all that.'

'That's also true,' said Vaughn in response. 'In any case, do you know what response Vrauford told me?'

'What?'

'He just repeated what he said before. That it was up to you on what you want to do.' Hearing these words from Vaughn, Valyr imagined the man shaking his head as he sighed. 'I'm sure he wants to return to his motherland, but is too afraid to change what he's already gotten used to by now. He's spent thousands of years reincarnating in that place, after all.'

'So, I guess I'll have to ask you the question I asked him instead.'

'What do you plan on doing with Vrauford and the others?' asked Vaughn. 'Are you gonna have them to stay in the inheritance or give them the opportunity to return to Veldanyr?'

Valyr could only laugh at the question. 'I kind of now see why you decided to choose me to take over your position in the inheritance.'

'I'm sure you know my answer by now. I don't even have to say it.'

'As expected.' Vaughn chuckled in response. 'Believe me when I say that you won't regret doing this.'

'After all, even though the other Forsaken Ones are a bit rough around the edges, Vrauford still has memories of his time from before the Great Cataclysm.'

'And I'm sure you know what that means, especially as a blacksmith.'
