Chapter 1700  Kirin in Echidna

The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Eren let his mind wander off to an uncharted territory.

'Hmm? Messing with the Mesh, huh? Breaking the system. Breaking it in such a way that it becomes exploitable.

It seems there's a connection between seemingly random things. Being from Anfang, I'm sure the Sansara Sage would not be too keen on running after imaginary wealth as well. He would not be interested in serving some god as well.

He was a researcher at heart. A true son of the Land of the Faithless. He was well prepared when he left Anfang behind. But what did he do after leaving Anfang? And what did he achieve?

The Sansara World. The way the Mesh functions. The breaking of Sansara. The research related to bringing artificial creations to life. Maya.

What was the Sansara Sage trying to achieve by creating that legacy? Should I create a Sansara World of my own based on his legacy?'

Eren asked himself as he wilfully digressed. Even though he was sitting in a pool of warm and crimson red pool of his victims' blood, the stray thoughts in his head made him forget about his surroundings.

Eren was sure that he would be able to claim a new Skill for himself without spending Menaka's Runes if he were to devour a Skill owner. It meant he needed to devour someone like him who owned or co-owned a Skill and was selling it in the Menaka's Market. However, so far he had found no such Skill owner.

He also understood that staying anonymous while selling one's Skill was a crucial factor in Labh Salem. Otherwise, people would target him to get a Skill from him. The people of Labh Salem had a number of ways and Skills to extract a Skill and related information about it from a Skill owner.

More than the Skill effect itself, owning a Skill in the Mesh was a big thing. It could allow one to generate a steady flow of passive income. There were ways with which the Mesh could be tricked into considering someone a new owner of a particular Skill. Of course, after eradicating the original owner. Thankfully, Eren had been warned of the dangers of exploring the Mesh virtually from the beginning. As such, he had protected his identity while putting his Skill up for grabs in the Menaka's Market.

Around her waist, a belt housed concealed pockets, holding tools of her trade – lock picks, vials of potions, and a small pouch of enchanted dust. The subtle gleam of a dagger's hilt protruded from its sheath, nestled against her lower back.

It seemed she was also out there, busy doing something but had managed to find some time to contact her husband.

Kirin finally managed to communicate with Eren using Menaka's Blessing. She seemed happy and relieved to know that Eren had finally landed in Labh Salem.

"Wife," Eren had learned to match up with Kirin's vibes. "You sure were not easy to contact, you know. And where are you?"

Eren asked with a smile on his face. He wiped the residual blood off of his face by rubbing it against his arms in order to look as decent as he could in front of his wife. The half-elf-half-oni woman wasn't surprised by Eren's appearance and greeted him normally.

"Not easy to contact? Hmph. You are one to talk. Do you know how many times I tried to reach you through this Blessing thing? And hmm? Oh… it seems you have already started working," she added as she looked at Eren with seemingly cold yet subtly doting expressions.

Her vision was filled with blood and gore that was around Eren. but somehow her eyes could only see Eren and his face. She looked at him as if she was trying to inspect him, reprimand him, and kiss him at the same time.

Eren had learned to ignore Kirin's snarky remarks. He stood nothing to gain from arguing. He also knew that she was not too happy about her current predicament after being separated from him due to unforeseen circumstances in the Immortal Planes.

Kirin was a quiet woman. As such, her emotions and their various shades were also expressed in a quiet manner.
