Chapter 83

After signing the contract, Sierra relaxed a bit.

Now, if the couple cannot help her, they will suffer irreparable damage to their soul. But she couldn't completely get rid of her worries until she got what she wanted.

Sierra was a little afraid that a couple from another world might find a way to circumvent the soul contract. Although she knew that no successful way to break the treaty had yet been found in their world, this could not be said to the aliens from another world.

"Great, then we look forward to receiving the promised vial of blood essence from you. As soon as we receive it, we will provide you with what you need after a while," Arabel said after making sure that the contract had already been signed.

Now she couldn't wait to complete the System's task and find out how many points they could sell Sierra's blood essence for.

"I will hand over the blood essence vial to you soon. And now you can go back, your elders are probably already worried about your long absence and will start looking for you soon," Sierra replied.

"In that case, we'll take our leave," Arabel said, getting up from her seat.

"Miss Sierra, considering that you have set up such a powerful barrier here, can I safely assume that you are able to hide from the consciousness of this place?" asked Idan before following Arabel.

"Yes, thanks to my proximity to the element of darkness, I can hide not only from his gaze, but also from his influence," Sierra answered his question.

"So, the consciousness is unaware of your presence here? I'm worried that if she finds out about you, she might take measures that will complicate our lives in the future and yours too," Idan expressed his concerns.

"There's no need to worry. Perhaps the consciousness of this world will have suspicions that something is wrong here, but it will not be able to find out who I am, much less determine my rank. It is not omniscient and cannot observe everything that happens in this world. I can say with confidence that for the entire time of your stay here, it has not even shown interest in this place," Sierra's words surprised and reassured the couple.

If what she said is true, then now they have another trump card that can help them in case of a worst-case scenario. Now they could relax a little.

"Then we say goodbye," the couple said, heading back to their camp, where Eulalia and Nemo were waiting for them.

Sierra, sitting in her seat, did not take her eyes off the departing ones until they disappeared into the forest. Her mind was full of thoughts. She wanted to ask if they knew a way to heal her completely, instead of just suppressing her and prolonging her life.

Although it was pleasant, it wasn't what she wanted. No one would want to settle for such a half-measure. She wanted to get rid of this problem, because without it, the paths to higher rank would have been cut off.

Closing her eyes, she sighed softly. Then, pulling out the vial, she began to prepare to extract her blood essence, as they had agreed.

On the way to the camp, Arabel and Idan couldn't help but discuss what was bothering them.

"After we switched bloodlines and received the memories from the ascension trial, something is happening to us," Arabel said anxiously. She couldn't pass up the opportunity to share her thoughts with Idan.

"Yeah, it's not like that here," Idan replied softly. "It's a completely different world. We grew up in a safe world, and we had a completely different idea of life. In our world, there were no such amazing and strange things as magic, the System, bloodlines, other races, and everything else.

"Due to the influence of our world, we tend to think too much and look for scientific explanations for everything around us. However, this can significantly limit our perception. There are different rules in this world. Instead of understanding the structure of the new world, we can get confused and misunderstand it."

Idan's words were true. This was especially true of Arabel. Since childhood, she has been trained to be useful to her family, regardless of her own desires.

Now, in the new world, she didn't have such restrictions, but deep down, she couldn't completely get rid of her upbringing and worldview. She needed to change and accept the new rules of this world without dwelling on the past.

The couple still couldn't fully adjust to the System, which caused them to miss out on many opportunities. They realized that they were most likely always under Limbo's supervision, but they couldn't get used to it and always take this fact into account.

Because of this, Arabel did not hesitate to reveal her secret to Sierra, not making sure that it was safe around. This could have serious consequences if they were being watched by Limbo's mind.

As for the "Trade" function, due to the high price of the goods, the couple almost stopped paying attention to it, waiting for them to accumulate enough points to finally use it. Therefore, they missed the information that it was necessary to use the "Trade" function to help Sierra.

It wasn't until Sierra demanded proof that Idan remembered it.

Besides, they didn't fully understand their System. Although it was called the Supreme Husband System and Supreme Wife System, the couple could not grasp the essence of its fundamentals.

Their system seemed too vague to them, and they could not understand in which direction the System was trying to develop them. There was a feeling that it was trying to cover everything and everyone. And it seemed strange and wrong.

There was a saying in their world: "If you run after two hares, you will catch neither*."

The couple didn't have that much time to even explore all the abilities, skills, and functions that the System offered them, let alone raise their level.

The couple got to the camp pretty quickly. As they expected, Eulalia and Nemo were already waiting for them by the campfire. It was clear from the expression on Eulalia's face that she was very worried about them.

However, what surprised the couple was that there was a middle-aged man and his disciple sitting next to them. Both of them were looking at them with some strange expressions on their faces. Alois just snorted and muttered something under his breath.

"What's going on?" Arabel asked Eulalia.

"Do you have any idea how long you've been gone?" she replied with a note of displeasure in her voice.

She then motioned for Arabel to use a mental link, and Arabel immediately connected to her.

"It's their turn to go on duty soon, and we didn't know why you decided to leave..." said Eulalia, hesitating a little. She looked guiltily at Arabel and continued,

"We just hinted to them that you left, well... out of natural instincts."

Arabel didn't immediately understand what she was talking about. Idan could barely contain his laughter, unable to understand why they had decided to explain their absence in this way.

Soon Arabel finally got it, and she unleashed a torrent of curses on Eulalie through a mental link that almost deafened her.

*This means that if you take on several tasks at once, you will not achieve results in any of them.
