Chapter 492 - You....are?
Chapter 492 – You….are?
Just staying vigilant and paying attention was enough; there was no need to hate all foreign races because only a few had attacked Argos.
Even then, Jason had started to realize that not every single of the foreign races was the same, and they were divided into different factions too!
This made it more difficult for him to figure out who initiated the Blood eclipse, and which faction or authorities of the Myöldra race had coaxed the Drake family to initiate the Great Argos war.
The same applied for the Ifrytor race, and Jason began to wonder how to exact revenge on them.
Since the silver divine light had forcefully ejected his hatred and anger, Jason had learned to control his emotions much better than before, and it was easier to stay level-headed too.
'The Ifrytor race should have sent a small part of their newly established army to Argos…that means their highest authorities were the culprits…but how do I find the proof for that? Mindlessly killing everyone would make me no better than them!'
Jason's mindset was slowly adapting to everything that had happened to him during the last few years, and everything was finding the place it belonged to.
Whether it were memories, emotions, ethics, morale, his innate characteristics, and how everyone around him influenced him, all of it culminated into whether it transformed Jason into a better or worse person.
With that altered mindset, he couldn't help but sigh and think that it would be easier to simply wipe out entire races instead of bothering to separate the wheat from the chaff.
However, at that thought, he shook his head as he mumbled, horrified with himself.
"Did I really think that this is the best solution, right now?… How disgusting!"
Fasro and Lusan had already left Jason on his own as they had more pressing matters to attend to.
Thus, Jason shot up through the air and looked at Anna who was still sleeping soundly.
'Yadras race….three cultivation veins, and two more energies to cultivate that I have no idea about… Do I really want to find out everything right now? A little bit of peace would work wonders for me right now…'
He was tired of fighting and keeping his identity of being a halfling from the Celestia race, a secret from others.
Instead, he would rather openly reveal himself and absorb mana to his heart's content because that was what made him feel alive.
Unfortunately, it was easier said than done, and Jason knew that he would be looked at with a certain degree of wariness, and most citizens wouldn't trust him either.
Thus, he would have to hide some things that made him appear similar to those who had undergone a transmutation after accepting the soul contract of other races.
Ifrys were a good example, and Jason hoped that his stigma would be seen as a similar transformation which most people would remember to determine who was in a soul contract with other races and who was not.
It was annoying, but Jason had no way to solve this issue right now and time wasn't exactly on his side.
Everyone had suffered a heavy setback due to the Great Argos war, not just physically but also mentally.
There was no other option for Jason except to give his utmost efforts to ease everyone's anxious mind.
After the storm had calmed, it would be possible to initiate the next step of his plan to reconcile foreign races with humans. At least, Jason would assess the mindset of the races that had sought refuge on the other continents before determining whether it was a good time to bring them together.
His current strength might not be enough to bring them together forcefully or prevent anyone from fighting against each other, but it was more than enough to survive and help others.
Because of that, he flew towards the Kingdom of the Gier family that was directly next to the one he was currently inside!
Jason had lost count of the names of countries and kingdoms he had visited, but he knew that most would have undergone a drastic change either way. Thus, there was no point in remembering the names of most countries.
More than 10 big families, ancient clans, and sects had been annihilated, and the remaining ones had lost a large number of their strongest forces.
It was not unlikely that new alliances would be forged or that other big clans would use the chance to annex certain lands.
This might come across as being exploitative and cruel, but the strongest were those who used the opportunity to turn the tide in their favor.
Survival and becoming stronger had never been more imperative than now even if it was at the expense of others..
Jason didn't support this kind of behavior, even less after the Greater Argos war had been concluded and the big clans and ancient sects would have to slowly rebuild everything whether it were the cities, islands, or entire kingdoms, let alone the trust of the citizens that had been broken by their own government!
When he entered the Kingdom of the Gier family, Jason was glad to see that the situation seemed to be under much better control than he had expected.
Apparently, the Gier family hadn't sent out every single member of their Clan, leaving the entire kingdom defenseless, which according to Jason, had been a strategic and well-thought move.
Rather Jason had seen quite a few people at the Late Lique stage.
When they had seen him flying through the air with a baby in his hand, they had been momentarily confused, but Jason hadn't released any hostility, and neither did he look like a foreign race member or a transformed human.
Thus, they didn't bother to pay him attention anymore, because they had their hands full!
As such, Jason continued to fly towards the plain area of the kingdom where the capital was located and landed on the ground.
'Till said that I'll find him somewhere around here…I guess?'
It would be easy to find Seron by enhancing his mana eyes further, but the mana left in his second storage was minuscule and barely replenishing as it is!
Due to this Jason was simply strolling through the streets with Anna, who had woken up in his arms.
Flying through an entire country would have taken him longer than two weeks under normal circumstances, however, being able to enhance his pace by circulating mana through his wings had been extremely helpful.
Other than that, he had already been close to the borders, to begin with, and the plains area was not that far either.
As such, the entire journey had taken him less than two days.
The duration was much longer than the time he had taken to fly towards the three capitals that were extremely close to each other. This fact led Jason to the assumption that the three countries they'd fought the final battle of the Great Argos war with, had been in an alliance or something similar to that before.
Most capitals were rebuilt on the remains of once flourishing cities before the mana outbreak had occurred, and it was only because of this, that some capitals were extremely close to each other and some far away.
There had been several hundred countries before the mana outbreak after all!
Jason was not sure how long it would take him to fly through Canir, but considering that he was already faster than most vehicles that mankind used, it should take him less than 2 months with resting periods!
Searching for Seron took him longer than expected, and Jason was not sure what he should say to his old friend, or if he would even remember him.
However, when he perceived Seron's familiar mana fluctuations who was walking through a crowded alley all by himself, Jason approached him with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Seron, how's your earth dragon doing?"
Hearing those words, caused Seron Gier, who had been minding his own business, to be dragged out of his thoughts as a tall, muscular young man with black hair and silver strands within looked at him.
His smile was vibrant, yet the most interesting feature about him were his golden-silverish eyes that were somewhat familiar to Seron.
"Who..are you?"
