"Any recent activity in the bottomless abyss?"
As Orion walked ahead, he asked Lorelia this question.
"Half a month ago, my children crawled back up from down below and reported that everything is fine," Lorelia replied.
"Oh, and there's this!"
Lorelia pulled out a Bagbird pouches and held it out to Orion.
"Master, your sister had my children bring this up for you."
Orion took the Bagbird pouches and opened it for a look. It was filled with crystal cores, including four Alpha-level ones.
Seeing these crystal cores actually put Orion's mind at ease, because this meant Clymene's power must have grown substantially. And as the balance of power shifted, fewer beasts lurking underground would mean a better chance for Clymene and her group to stay safe.
A rare smile crossed Orion's face. Then he tossed the Bagbird pouches back to Lorelia.
"Hold on to these. Evolve those four big ones around you to Alpha-level as soon as possible."
"Hehe… I can tell Master likes Lorelia best!"
