The twin Ninjas simply shrugged at each other. What was done was done, and they weren’t about to deprive that old woman of her prize.
Even if he was their brother.
They joined the rest of the group at the large table by the lake for dinner, and turned to Karl for more explanations.
"Alright, spill. We’ve seen a lot of strange things over the years, but I’ve never seen someone get pulled into one of the Demonic Prison realms and come back out alive, much less the same day." Jim demanded once the food was mostly gone.
Karl shrugged. "I am an Avatar of the World Dragon, and he’s got an understanding with the Warden of the Prison. So, instead of simply locking me up and forgetting about me, they actually investigated, and found that we didn’t know we were breaking in.
So, I just had to pay a small fine.
Like the ones here, the Demons of the hell dimensions can be remarkably reasonable when they’ve got a reason to be.
"What is that old woman’s obsession anyhow?" Jim asked.
"Flower arrangement. But her obsession and her personal tastes don’t directly align when there are men involved. There aren’t any young men in the Tiny World for her to hit on, so she’s been a bit lonely." Ophelia explained.
"He ran away before Remi could give him any new potions to increase his power, though."
Jim shrugged. "If he needs it, I’m sure that the Naga will be happy to test her products on him later. That is what she was after, right? Getting herself a volunteer for her new products?"
Ophelia shrugged, "That’s the nature of the business. Nobody will let her sell her products to the Clan without having proof of efficacy. But she can’t test them all on herself, they’re not all made for Naga.
So, she constantly looks for volunteers.
Her products do have a rather impressive success rate, though. Most of the residents here have been taking Immortal Rank pills for the last few weeks, every time that she comes up with something new.
It’s been amazing for our power levels. The only issue we have is that so many have reached the peak of Mythic Rank power, and they’re being limited by their lack of understanding of the Fundamental Rules.
Once they can master that, they’ll soon be Immortals."
Jim nodded. "That’s one of the disadvantages of growing up in a Mortal World. If you’re born in an Immortal World, the comprehension of the Rules comes much faster. Plus, they teach it in school.
If you could get a tutor for the peak Myths here, you might be able to help them all advance more quickly."
Ophelia hummed as she considered the options.
