Chapter 11

“TELL ME, STOOR, what exactly were you extracting from the anomaly? Is there a list?”

“First, the golems had been destroyed, then the warriors took all the ancient items. We were dealing with the metal sheathing — the ancient human metal is highly valued in our world.”

“When did the warriors take the ancient items?” I struggled to keep my emotions in check. I wanted to shake all the information out of the demon immediately, but we needed to be patient. We had promised Stoor his life, and the Heavens wouldn’t be pleased if we accidentally killed the demon. All Vyllea and I had managed to retrieve from the anomaly was a heart of the Warrior stage, red. Incredibly valuable to any First-Tier Taoist, possibly even a few Second-Tier ones, but utterly useless for us. The demons had taken everything! Absolutely everything! We had reached the crystal without encountering a single golem. Almost all the walls had been stripped; only the last floor remained. I suspected that in another two or three trips this anomaly would be sealed off for a while until it “revived” again.

“Six months ago,” the demon responded willingly. “As soon as we discovered this anomaly, our warriors immediately took control of it.”

“Discovered?”

“The great artificer Carros has made an artifact that shows all available anomalies within a certain radius. Every tribe that moved to this world has its own territory, which they must inspect monthly. This is how the anomaly was found. As well as others. I know of two more that are also being fully cleared. Everything is taken to the wormhole and sent to the demon world to exchange with the Urbangos tribe. If you need anything, ask Almyrda. Everything goes to her.”

“Let’s move!” I conjured Molly. “We’re leaving. The anomaly has been cleared out.”

The third-year students couldn’t believe I would let the demon go. Even when we drove far enough away, they kept looking back, as if expecting some explosion. But it didn’t happen. And it couldn’t — Stoor was now carrying another letter.

“Mom, if an ancient human healing capsule is brought to our tribe, do not recycle or sell it. I really, really need it. I’ll try to visit you in a year. Vyllea.”

The anomaly had been looted six months ago. This was too long ago to start chasing after the demons now. There were too many uncertainties to risk it. Was there a healing capsule in that anomaly? Did it remain intact? Was it still sitting in a warehouse near the wormhole? Maybe Almyrda had turned it into a table! Perhaps she didn’t even know what that little box with a flip-top lid was for. Vyllea had no idea whether her mother knew about the ancient human devices and their uses. But since the demons were actively looting anomalies, they surely weren’t doing it just for the metal. So, we wouldn’t head to the wormhole immediately, at any rate, but just in case, Vyllea wrote a letter to her mother. The Heavens sometimes played their hand so strangely and unexpectedly that one could only marvel.
