Kle In touched the horns that grew from the sides of his head and curved horizontally to the front. It has been six days since he secluded himself. After crossing the border, he spent five days of flying and recuperating cycle and just when he was about to land on a village he saw from afar, the bones in his head started aching.

Just like his habit, he found a place near a river with thin Qi to set up a cave. On the second day of seclusion, the horns grew extending a few centimeters on the front of his head. He decided to cut them off but then it triggered a backslash. His headache became more unbearable and his hunger doubled.

On the third day, a familiar aura invaded the Isolation Formation and brought three magical beasts as offering. Kle In did not step outside his cave and only used his Qi Projections to bring the beasts inside for him to devour. He used to cook them but the changes in his body made him find raw meat addictive especially the innards. On the fifth day, the horns grew back and the headaches went away.

Kle In stepped out of his cave. A young Elven wearing pants was practicing his sword near the river. The Elven is around 178 centimeters in height and he is still growing, but the manly physique and proportionate body figures, coupled with a fair skin tone and prominent cheekbones. His appearance is as if carved by a master craftsman and everything about him is like an embodiment of handsomeness and virility.

Kle In could see Re'y practicing his strength to the second power and unlike him, Re'y's aura radiates elegance and warmth and when combined with his sparkling blue eyes, even an elderly woman married for a hundred years would still fall prey to such charm. The only blemish is that it will irritate insecure men and Kle In was no exception. Only a fool would befriend this Elven.

"I am searching for Ul Al'iya remnants. My appearance may not get me what I want and I need your help approaching Elven Settlements for information."

Kle In was tempted to summon his Qi Projections and disfigure Re'y but he might as well use this figurine to good use. It never occurred to him that the dirty and bloody Elven with messy hair he met the first time would be so gorgeous when cleaned. Kle In summoned a few blankets he looted before and covered his body while wondering how Re'y found him and why. He remembered leaving him in his knees.

Re'y saw Kle In activated his wings so he summoned his Flying Sword and followed him. After thirty minutes, they landed at the entrance at a random village they saw mid air.

"We come in peace. This junior wishes to discuss a few pressing matter with your clan leader"

The guards were only at Mid Qi Condensation level and were alarmed at the sight of two descending powerful figures. Their village is little colony with less than six hundred people and the strongest is merely a Peak Late Qi Condensation. They cannot afford to disrespect these guests.

"Our leader is handicapped and forgive us for not greeting these masters properly. Please follow me"

Kle In entrusted the talking to Re'y as his appearance is literally the opposite of Re'y. As they walk along, he could not help but notice Re'y's focus when they passed by a few children. After a few minutes, they were brought to a spacious guest hall under a Kay'u Tree where an elderly Elven is patiently waiting.

"Please have a seat and forgive our humble village as we can only accommodate this much. I am called Nai of Lai village."

Kle In did not take a seat and stood near Re'y pretending to be his guard as a maid poured tea.

"This respected elder did not have to spend a luxury tea to receive us. We just need to ask if your village has any current information about Ul Al'iya clan."

Nai looked at the Half Elven in front of him and he retrieved a map in his spatial ring. He could already guess what they are up to and he finds it intriguing to encounter such people in his lifetime.

"Every decade, a few of our talented younglings would travel to Kra'ing Un City and would pass by a fifty kilometer wide desolate rocky lands. Only wild grasses commemorate the grave of a once mighty clan. The knowledge we have of Ul Al'iya clan are passed through word of mouth becoming a fairytale. They say that there is still a handful families that observe ancient traditions passed down since old times and one of them is Mur Av'ic Colony."

Nai pointed at a location on the map as he explained.

Re'y, sensing that Kle In was silent meant that he has no follow up questions prompting him to proceed with his other agenda. He took out a jade box from the ring Kle In gave him at the cave.

"This is a fruit from a Giant Bay Abas Tree. Consider this remuneration from the knowledge you have shared."

Re'y cleared his throat then continued.

"One of your younglings has taken my attention and I wish to take him as my disciple. There is a burnt scar on his left cheek and is missing a few teeth."

Nai pretended to smile despite his disapproval. Their village consisted of less than six-hundred and half of them are elderly like him. He did not like any dissent among the villagers so they would occasionally allow some of their young ones to enjoy their freedom but many has chosen to join other colonies and has not returned. He knew that it is only a matter of time before all their younger generations will have had migrated leaving their Nai village forgotten like the legendary Ul Al'iya clan.

"This old bones have a simple request I hope this benevolent master could hear?"

Re'y sipped his tea and did not make any remarks.

"The child's name is Luar'y and his parents died not too long ago. My only wish is that you allow him to select a few of our villagers when the time comes he needs servants."
