You know, between skill learner letting me learn uncommon skills easier and awakener helping me get to the next tier, all I really need is a title that would help me level my skills easier. Know anything that would fit Myriad?

<Not off the top of my head. If there was something like that that was easy to gain then everyone would be aiming for it though.>

Mmh, I guess.

<Anyway, stop worrying about trying to get even more and focus on what I’m sure is going to be an awkward first stop given how it seems this is going.>

What?

His god didn’t answer, leaving him alone with those parting words as Thera began to bring them down to the ground below to begin their investigation with Verbum.

“Oh, sweet land!” The pleiaden yelled out as he jumped out of the cart, looking deeply relieved to be on the ground again, even if it meant needing to start his investigation as Thera spoke up.

“So we should be in the right area, I think we just need to go north a bit until we’re in the general vicinity we need to be.”

Those words were enough to pull the joy from Verbum in an instant, leaving him looking like he wanted to make a quick escape and only stopping thanks to how far from civilization they all were.

Ben for his part didn’t want to wait for him to get comfortable. His god’s lax attitude meant it couldn’t have been anything bad, but Myriad’s parting words did leave him wanting to see just what it could be about so he walked over to him in the middle of his indecision and threw him over his shoulder, leaving Thera to hold back her laughter.

“You know, I’m so used to seeing you as the one in that position. Decided to try dishing it out yourself for once?”

“Ah, just didn’t want to wait,” He said, ignoring the feeling of Verbum’s struggles against his grip. “Come on, let’s check this out. Verbum, what should we be looking for?”

“Killi didn’t tell you?”

“She mentioned that you needed to be in charge of handling things while we were working everything out. Didn’t she tell you that?”

“I thought she was lying!”

“Okay, well she wasn’t, so focus.”

Ben felt the man wiggle around, trying to get out of his grasp but ultimately failing in his escape and giving up, finally answering the question.

“Strange plant growth and animal behaviour,” He eventually gave in. “It was enough to freak out a completely different rank one adventurer but they still want me looking into it of all things! I’m supposed to be important, toss it to someone who doesn’t matter, damn it!”

“Yeah yeah, life’s hard on all of us,” Ben muttered, not really caring about the whining as he looked around. He’d been to plenty of areas within the untamed lands before for one task or another, but for whatever reason, the section he currently found himself going through felt familiar.
