After the two of them ended their conversation, they flew up and flew straight toward a valley. Ferrol went back to his family—the Marcloids—and requested to meet several elders as well as the family head.
"I was told that you wish to meet with all of us. What is so important that you insisted on meeting us at this late hour instead of waiting until tomorrow?" Eulon Marcloid—the Marcloids' head—asked Ferrol with a smile.
Ferrol immediately said, "When Betty and I were playing outside the city today, we saw a man and a woman arriving just outside Reputab on a flying sword. They descended from the sword and the man stored it in his spatial ring before they entered the city."
Eulon frowned and asked with some displeasure, "Isn't that normal? What's so strange about it?"
Their great elder then pressed for more information. "Give specifics, Ferrol. What's so special about this sword?"
Ferrol then said, "It's probably at least a fifth-grade or sixth-grade spiritual weapon. We can feel the fluctuations in it from a distance."
"A fifth- or sixth-grade spiritual weapon is something that even those secluded sects find difficult to obtain." The second elder's eyes lit up instantly after hearing that. "I never would have expected such a treasure to appear here."
The great elder was excited too. "If we can get our hands on that treasure, our family's strength will become even stronger. You could liken it to a trump card that can be used in dire situations!"
Ferrol thought about what happened and said, "The flying speed doesn't seem to be very fast. Perhaps their attainment is too low that they are unable to utilize the flying sword to its fullest. Neither of them look like disciples of a sect. They're more like two casual, unaffiliated practitioners. I'm confident that they're not from any aristocratic families because they don't look familiar at all."
His companion, Betty, added, "They look young too, so it's possible that their attainment isn't very high. I'd say they're probably just warrior kings."
Eulon was finally swayed by all their remarks. He looked at the elders and asked, "What do you think? It seems quite feasible to me."
