Chapter 187 - Into The Unknown
Shane had still around two weeks left before he would be forced to return to Igra to receive his family's help.
During that time, he wanted to figure out more about the Lesser Starlet Fox. He had already received a file on the beast owing to the Elus-race's fast speed.
Furthermore, there was also his curiosity about the Elus race, their culture, behavior, and also strength!
Was their system the same as mankinds' or were there small differences because they didn't have a solid physical body?
There were many more questions in his mind but he only had around two weeks' time to figure out more. He was determined to try to make a good first impression that might as well be used to make a proper treaty between the two races.
Nevertheless, instead of being too hasty and impatient, he was calm because he had to take it slow.
According to mankind's information, there were often differences of opinion between the cultures of different races because a simple gesture that indicates something good in one race's culture might as well mean the opposite for the other race.
This was the biggest problem most ambassadors of other races had to pay attention to, which included other races' morales, ethics, customs, traditions, and so on.
It was difficult to find a perfectly suited ally without much effort and compromises and Shane's aunts and uncles knew that Shane was fully aware of the same.
However, rather than being worried, John Stella and most of Shane's aunt and uncles couldn't help but feel that Shane was slowly starting to take responsibility for their whole race.
If he were to establish a firm relationship between the Elus race and mankind, Shane would have to take the responsibility for it.
Yet, before that, he would have to prevent making too many mistakes, creating a dispute, or even accidentally waging war against the Elus race because of an inadvertent error while he was in the Elementals Empire!
In the beginning, John Stella was angry and frustrated that his only son had run away from him immediately after he reached the age of 16 years, but that slowly changed when he heard what exactly his son had accomplished in less than 3 months.
Not only was Kia praising him to no end, but she also seemed to share a secret with Shane about something special that was even more unique than attaining a perfect Mortal physique!
John concluded this after Shane nonchalantly messaged Loris that she could ask Kia about his previous Mythic mission and what it meant.
Shane had only entered the Primordial Dimensions slightly less than three months ago. In such a short time he had reached the peak-Apprentice stage, attained a perfect mortal physique, and earned the favor of a whole race which helped him to find out more about his next Mythic mission that was most likely about his perfect Apprentice physique!
Adding the fact that he did almost everything alone, John couldn't help but feel proud of his son.
The only situation which soured his mind was that Shane had escaped from home, almost nullifying his marriage. John could barely save his face, saying that Shane needed time for himself and that he was in his puberty.
If Shane hadn't known better, he would have wondered why Aunt Kia hadn't told the others about his Innate Skill and Blessing.
He believed that Aunt Kia was probably considerate to him and thought that Shane would reveal everything once it was the right time!
It might be nice for Shane to hear that his father was proud of him, even if it was only once. But the fact that his marriage with the mysterious, unknown fiance was still not called off would definitely bother and enrage Shane.
Not knowing who he was destined to marry was already bad enough, but his father's scheming could be considered as an even worse enemy to Shane.
Instead of thinking too much about his father, Shane would rather depart to the Elus race's main planet the moment he got to know everything required to make the trip.
These requirements were mainly oxygen in order to stay alive and mana to supply his world seed with it.
As such, after clearing a few more facts with the Elus merchant who seemed to have turned into his guide, Shane was ready to depart to the Elementals Empire!
Smiling foolishly, he was unable to suppress his excitement as his expectations heightened.
While walking back towards the Giant Fluare shelter, Shane received several packages which he kept neatly packed and stored them inside his spatial ring.
Then, he decided to read more about the Lesser Starlet Fox, which was his highest priority.
Establishing a firm relationship with the Elus race was equally important but more so for the human race instead of Shane himself.
As such, it was also set as his highest priority, immediately next to the target of his Tier-1 (Mythic) mission!
After reading carefully through the file that he received from the Elus merchant, Shane figured out that the information about the Lesser Starlet Fox was still not much.
Other than the facts he was already aware of, there were only a few additional things such as its spatial affinity, more details about its behavior, how strong it was in terms of agility, strength, endurance, and stamina.
Additionally, there was very little information about its habitat, with the name of the dimension it resided in and where it was found the most.
Apparently, there had not been many encounters with Lesser Starlet foxes but enough to tell that it was not extinct!
To summarize the information, a Lesser Starlet Fox avoided stronger opponents by sensing their mana fluctuations and was extremely agile with high stamina. However, its endurance and strength were below average.
Its extremely strong spatial affinity played a big role in helping it survive most encounters with other peak-Elite stage beasts or those stronger.
There was also information about one particular evolution of the Lesser Starlet Fox.
It was the Starstream Fox that was said to be the Lesser Starlet Fox's Extraordinary evolution. However, Shane was astonished as to why the Elus-race would know something like this. He immediately asked the Elus-merchant who replied
Our Emperor had once saved a Starstream fox in the Intermediate-Dimensions from a terrifying beast. After that the Starstream fox allowed our Emperor to tame it with his taming skill!
'The Elementals race's Emperor is a tamer?' Shane asked himself in astonishment. He confirmed the same with the Elus Merchant who answered him with a plain
Yes
Shane was astonished about this revelation but it was not like being a tamer was something unique or extremely special.
He even doubted that the Elementals Emperor knew much about increasing the Starstream fox's quality. It was not only a rare species but it most likely demanded rare ingredients, he might not even know of.
This was why Shane's Innate Skill with his quality upgrade function was so important!
Finally, after a few hours, he arrived in front of their Shelter, and before entering it, he regulated his world seed's mana absorption to the bare minimum.
After showing his ID to the guards at the gate, he was let in.
It was already Wednesday, early in the morning and the sun would rise soon.
However, instead of being tired, he was excited and happy when he arrived in front of the Dimension Portal.
After he received the special permission certificate, the system revealed several more shelters and planets as possible destinations which caused him to smile when he entered the Dimension Portal.
He chose the planet called Masua and the space around him started to twist. He took a deep breath to calm down himself and looked forward to emerging on an unknown planet only a short while later.
