Chapter 1276 Just a Dao Lord
"Please take a seat," the figure made of cloth said, and Lex suddenly found himself in a cozy sitting room, with countless auburn lamps. The room seemed simple and plain, but Lex could feel that nothing in this room was as it seemed. If his tenet had not completely sealed itself up, hiding completely from being exposed to laws, he might have seen the truth of things.
As it was, Lex could only use his eyes, and even then the ability of his left eye seemed to have gone dormant. His spirit sense completely withdrew into his body, as if it was exhausted from overuse.
In truth, Lex's body was reacting in the most appropriate way possible. Since he was an immortal now, and was capable of being the cosmic weight of some secrets, he inherently knew that he should not, in any way, seek to understand anything about Dao beings.
Lex sat down on a sofa and found that the piece of furniture filled him with a reinforcing power. His body became stiff, but at the same time, he was aware that it was the strongest, most durable his body had ever been.
It also brought him new insight about how amazing the effects of the Inn were, which could allow him to casually meet beings of Dao, whereas in reality it was a lot of effort. Though to be fair, whenever a Dao Lord would visit, much like his body was reacting by restraining itself, the system ceased most of its functions to hide.
Lex heard a door open behind him, followed by a few gentle footsteps, but he could not turn to look.
"Please excuse the formalities," a warm voice said from behind Lex. "Unfortunately, due to some unfortunate circumstances, my state is slightly unkempt, and it is not appropriate for me to appear in front of people. I hope you do not mind."
Lex discovered that a table appeared to his right, and on it appeared a simple, plain envelope. He saw some words written on the envelope, but his eyes automatically looked away, as if just the sight of them would be lethal.
Besides the envelope was a gold ring in the style of a simple, plain band.
"From what I understand, you requested the heart's blood of a Jorlam as a reward for your help. Within that ring, there are two entire Jorlam hearts, as well as their hearts blood. Just so you know, feeding a World Eater one of those hearts will speed up its growth rapidly, and keep it from needing to eat countless star systems before it was born. There are also a couple of other rewards in there from me, as well as a missive from the Dragon King for someone named Charles Best. I hope you found this cooperation fruitful, and find us again if you ever need some kind of revenge."
Lex heard the governor stand from his sofa and walk towards the exit.
"Oh, by the way," the governor said just before he left. "I hope you do not mention Glaticus to anyone. The Innkeeper will likely take care of things when he reads my letter, but on the off chance that he does not read it immediately, I thought I'd put forward that request, anyway."
"I'll make sure no one even remembers the name," Lex promised.
The governor did not respond, and instead looked at Lex one more time. At a glance, it did not seem like there was anything wrong with Lex, but as soon as he tried to influence Lex's thoughts, a dangerously powerful aura emerged from within his body, as if to warn the governor.
If that aura truly belonged to the Innkeeper... then Hiran was extremely glad he decided to probe the Innkeeper through Lex rather than trying to silence him directly. That man... was he truly just a Dao Lord?
