They still have enough System points left.
As before, they decided not to search for or buy anything from the "Trade" function.
They knew that there were many opportunities there, but they still did not dare to plunge into it.
The very existence of a complete manual to a perfect new path of cultivation proves the potential and importance of this "Trade" function.
Idan checked and made sure that at the moment, if they had a lot of System points, he could buy "Manual to the "Path of Beast Tamer" only up to "Manual to the "Path of Beast Tamer" – The Formation of the First Trinity" for 480 System points, and soul crystals only up to "Average Low-quality Soul Crystal" for 800 System points. All above these were unavailable due to their System level.
The couple already had a lot of skills and abilities, but they still couldn't devote enough time to them. Therefore, they have not yet decided to look for and purchase new ones. They decided to keep the System's Points in case they were suddenly needed, as happened with the task just now.
Moreover, with each new task and level increase, they were confident that the System would provide them with even more opportunities.
After the purchase, all the items automatically appeared inside his and Arabel's shared storage space.
Pretending to deliver manuals and crystals from his expansion magic bag, Idan discreetly pulled them out of his ring.
Then he handed Nemo and Eulalia what he had prepared for each of them.
Both of them looked with excitement and interest at the manuals and the soul crystal that Idan handed them. It was the first time they had held something . They clearly felt and were once again convinced that these things were not from their world, but from a completely different one.
Now they could only wait for Nemo to form his first and then his second Beast Soul.
According to the calculations of the System, it will take all night, and then another half day. By tomorrow evening, Nemo must complete the formation of his second Beast Soul and conclude a contract. After that, the System's task can be considered completed.
Today was the third day of their stay in the Forbidden Zone, and tomorrow the fourth would begin. Apart from tomorrow, they still had three days left. Therefore, if they spent tomorrow and another night in this clearing, they would still have plenty of time to retreat.
Before Eulalia and Arabel went to their tent, Idan turned to Arabel.
"You know, I've been thinking for a while, and I have an idea. But the implementation of this mainly depends on the result of the task and what advantage the new "Beast Taming" function provides us. Do you want to hear it now? Or will you wait until we complete the task and find out exactly what we get?" asked Idan Arabel.
Arabel's interest was piqued. Until she finds out what Idan is up to, she probably won't be able to sleep. So, of course, she demanded that he tell her now.
Idan briefly outlined his idea, and Arabel, after listening to him, was pleasantly surprised. She thought it was a great idea and readily supported it.
Soon, Arabel and Eulalia, inspired, left Idan and Nemo's tent and returned to their own. Nemo and Eulalia began to study and form their first Beast Soul using Soul Crystals.
Meanwhile, Idan and Arabel decided to rest and get some sleep. They had already done everything they wanted, and now they just had to wait for tomorrow.
A lot of things happened that day, and before they fell asleep, they remembered them and couldn't fall asleep right away. This day was unforgettable for both of them and, one might say, changed their lives.
Now they were no longer just two people whose fates were linked by the System and who had to cooperate. They became a real couple, and from that day on, their thoughts will work as one.
The next morning, Idan woke up a little later than usual. He understood that there was no hurry yet, and, as they had planned the day before, he decided to have a good rest and gain strength.
Nemo, meanwhile, was still sitting there, completely immersed in the process of forming his Beast Soul. Idan didn't bother to distract him or ask if he was successful.
When Idan went outside, the sun had already fully risen above the horizon, but the cool morning air still filled the surroundings. He took a deep breath and exhaled with pleasure, inhaling the fresh morning scent. Then he went to the campfire, where Alois and his disciple Liam were already sitting and enjoying breakfast.
After greeting them, he took out his dishes from his bag and started cooking breakfast for himself and Arabel using the firelight.
Arabel and Eulalia soon joined them.
Idan immediately noticed that Eulalia did't sleep. She looked tired, but she had a big smile on her face. She looked at Idan with gratitude.
Idan realized that she had succeeded and formed her first Beast Soul. Now all she had to do was find a suitable beast and sign her first contract.
Arabel was also in high spirits. When she woke up, she was glad to learn that her elder Eulalia had succeeded in forming her Beast Soul. And this success was the first bone for the realization of the idea that Idan shared with her yesterday.
Idan and Arabel had a quick breakfast and were ready for the next stage. They went to Geminia's building together to meet her.
As soon as they got closer, the building seemed to welcome them by opening its doors a crack. This was their third visit here, and this time the couple didn't feel as strange as before. Even the gaze that seemed to be following them from all sides no longer caused such concern.
When they entered the same room, they immediately noticed Geminia sitting in the same place as yesterday. It seemed like she didn't even get up and spent the whole night without leaving her seat.
"Good morning, Geminia!" the couple greeted Geminia.
"Yes, good morning!" Geminia replied with a charming smile. "What brings you to me this time?"
"We have a few requests, and we hope you can help us, Geminia," Idan said. "Don't worry, the requests are small, and we're sure they won't require much effort from you."
