I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 71: Fiance from the Outer Domain

It would open up a lot of possibilities for him if it was indeed correct.

I would be able to quickly increase the level of Sovereign Cloak if I find a few more tribes of Crappy Birds.

Even if I couldn’t find more tribes, there are always more checkpoint planets where I can slaughter the beasts to my heart’s content.

Eryndor was certainly looking forward to tomorrow.

When he put the Sovereign’s Cloak on himself, there was no black smoke.

I guess that’s for the good. I don’t want any visual effects out in the real world for everyone to notice the abnormality of the Cloak.

With a deep breath, he exited his room and travelled to the dining room.

The room was empty when he entered.

Eryndor silently focused his mind, and began his cultivation practice. With no third person view of his ability, it went rather smoothly.

Eryndor ate for the next dozen minutes, all the while circulating his Qi through the big circuit of meridians.

Thanking the staff, he left after he was done eating.

On the way to his room, Eryndor encountered Liliana.

The team leader had a good amount of bandages on her, but when he compared her to the image of Ken and Hellen in his mind, it was a tad bit less.

He simply nodded at her, making sure not to expose anything unusual about his expression.

The woman, who had her attention on her phone, was quick to lower her phone and nod back when she caught his movement from the corner of her eyes.

It was a split second decision, one that was entirely unplanned.

Within a fraction of second, Eryndor had unleashed the extended vision of his ability.

He passed by her without any change in his movements, entirely relaxed.

Internally though, his third person view was scanning what was on the screen of her phone.

She had her communication app opened. He quickly looked through the contacts.

Of course, his third person view couldn’t zoom in a lot. He still had a lot of room for practice.

He was only able to read a few names before she switched off her phone to eat.

Lucian

Lucy

Mariana

Work - Kaylor Byrd

Albert

Eryndor didn’t know why he did what he did, it was just a spur of the moment decision.

Finally though, he at least had something to work with now.

Going back to his room, Eryndor messaged Syndra once again.

"Can you help me with something?"

Seeing that there was no reply, he kept his phone aside and sat cross legged.

All this time, he had been practicing cultivation, circulating the Qi through the big circuit of meridians, even when he suddenly decided to open his domain of vision to peek at Liliana’s phone.

Eryndor was thankful he had practiced cultivating and using his ability at the same time, else he wouldn’t have been able to act on the split second decision back then.

Holding a pill bottle in his hand, he took one out and popped it in his mouth.

A burst cold air appeared in his mouth, along with the sensation of pill melting. It transformed into cold liquid before sliding through his throat.

Immediately, he could feel his absorption speed increase.

When he was halfway through utilizing the benefit of Qi Gathering pill, a notif rang out on his phone.

Eryndor didn’t stop circulating his Qi though. He could already perform basic tasks while circulating his Qi through the big circuit.

It was Syndra’s message.

"Tell me what kind of help you need first."

Of course I will.

Without waiting, he gave her the five names he saw on Liliana’s phone screen,

"Can you investigate who these people are to Liliana?"

Eryndor knew about the competition between the Sinclairs and the Ravencrofts the outside world talked about.

Their relationship wasn’t good, but it wasn’t to the point of absolutely hating each other either.

Adding on top of it the different ideologies of each family, the conflict seemed like it wouldn’t be solved anytime soon either.

He reckoned that if Liliana was from the Sinclairs, as a rival family, the Ravencrofts should have information on their important members right?

Liliana is already one of the most important members of the Sinclair family. There are high chances the Ravencrofts have plenty of information on her.

As expected, Syndra replied a few moments later.

"Sure. In exchange, you’ll have to spar with me though."

Eryndor shrugged.

"Cool."

After a few minutes of silence, Syndra reappeared online.

Just like the last time, the young woman gave more information than what he had asked for.

"Mariana and Albert are her parents.

"Apparently, she has a bad relationship with her parents because they forced her into marriage.

"When she was young, she ran away from home to Polinek city. The Sinclairs had to pay a hefty price to bring her back."

Although Eryndor didn’t need the extra story, that didn’t mean he wasn’t paying attention to it. As soon as she finished her last sentence, he asked.

"Wait. I couldn’t follow through the last part. Why would they have to pay to bring her back?"

"Don’t you know? Polinek is a city under the Ravenscroft’s control. Why would they leave a chance to exploit the Sinclairs?"

"Fair." Eryndor shrugged.

"Well, anyway, Lucy is one of the loyal people under her. She followed Liliana to join team Lockheim, currently assisting the Ravencrofts.

"She is also one of the most powerful people in team Lockheim after Calix and Liliana.

"Kaylor Byrd is an agent of the Human Federation, a fairly powerful Mage. He is famous for his spell model which has the shape of a Pi symbol. We don’t have much information on him.

"And lastly, Lucian is the person she is engaged to. There’s not much information we have on him either, except that he is from the Cultivation Outer Domain."

Eryndor thanked Syndra for her information and leaned back on his bed, hands behind his back as he began thinking.

She is engaged to a person from an Outer Domain? Damn.

On second thought, I hope I could see what the chats with the contacts were.

Granted, he could only have been able to see one line at most unless she clicked on a conversation, it might’ve still been enough to give him an idea of her current situation with each of them.

Lucian is currently the most suspicious.

Eryndor hesitated, but decided against using Cognitive Scrying.

With nothing to work on, he soon fell asleep.

Tomorrow, it would be the day to verify his conjecture of Sovereign’s Cloak.
