Death... and me

chapter-2729
Sonzei was taken aback. He still remembers how Rean commented his bloodline was interesting. "Sir- I mean, Rean. You could have just asked be. I wouldn't hide anything from you."
Rean shook his head, though. "I'm not saying you are going to lie. It's just that I don't think your tribe even knows your bloodline very well. Otherwise, I doubt you would still be here on this continent. Besides, this Information Trading Center is definitely several times older than your Tribe. They can also be found on many continents, not only here, so their information is quite reliable."
The man looked at Sonzei for a moment and pondered a bit. He wasn't surprised Rean knew so much about their organization. Someone at his level probably saw similar places with the same emblem as the one in this building. "Give me a second." He left and returned quickly, holding a jade slip in his hand. He took a look at the contents and finally spoke. "Hum... their tribe is quite old. They first appeared 73000 years ago, being nothing but a few tens. Here, take a look, sir."
Rean took the Jade Slip from the man and took a look inside himself.
The information indeed mentioned the time Sonzei's tribe first appeared. Their first sighting was in the Mirror Sea itself, and they were quite strong. At some point, they settled near a shore that wasn't under anyone's jurisdiction and have been living there ever since. Over the years, their ancestors died, and there doesn't seem to have been any information being passed down from them. Today, the tribe gains their life by using the resources of the Mirror Sea to conduct trades and train their young. Sonzei was just one of such when he was finally brought away by the Glanvie Clan, which was a joyous occasion at the time."It's surprising no one tried to capture them over the years," Rean commented to the man. "They seem to have a peculiar bloodline, after all."
The man nodded. "I'm not too sure, but it is probably because of their ancestors. They were strong, just like the patriarch of the Blanvie Clan you just came from. However, their bloodline diluted over the years as they mixed with other surrounding humanoid races. By the time their ancestors were gone, there wasn't much interest in their bloodline."
"You could also say that other tribes around had already got their fair share of their bloodline since they intermarried over time. They were never as strong as when their ancestors lived, and it is not wrong to say that they were quite vulnerable recently. Of course, with little Sonzei there joining the Blanvie Clan, as long as he doesn't die, their tribe doesn't need to fear being conquered by anyone," the man concluded. Sure enough, he also easily found out Sonzei's identity.
Sonzei was surprised by what he heard. "Even the elders of my tribe didn't seem to know so much about our own tribe's past..."
Rean smiled after hearing that. "You can't really be compared to these guys when it comes to collecting and selling information. Just so that you know, not even the Blanvie Clan would lightly offend them for no reason. They are quite influential, after all. Of course, they know how to carry their business. They will never get involved in any power struggle. Never try to conquer anything. For all intents and purposes, they pretty much don't even exist in the continents they operate. That gave them quite a good reputation."
"Sir is too polite," the man spoke. He didn't deny it at all. If anything, he seemed proud of the description.
Rean then remembered something. "Oh, right! I still haven't heard what your tribe is called.""It's quite a simple name, actually," Sonzei replied. "Everyone just calls us the Levi Tribe."
"Levi, uh?" Rean nodded. That name gave him a few ideas. It reminded him of a certain creature from legends back on earth. He turned to the man, asking. "Have you ever heard about a demon beast called Leviathan?"
"Leviathan?" The man was puzzled. "Give me a second."
He once again left the room, taking longer to come back after that. When he finally returned, he showed an apologetic expression. "Sorry, sir. Our organization could be said to have quite an extensive knowledge about all the Demon Beast Races of the Demon Beast Territories. However, there is no mention of a race called Leviathan."
He also added. "Of course, Demon Beasts are many, and in a place as big as the Realm of Gods you could say that new races appear and go extinct on an almost daily basis. Even the Humanoid Races' territory is no different. It could simply be that this Leviathan Race is fairly new, and we haven't acquired any information about them."
Rean was already slightly surprised that this organization had so much information. He thought they only had some influence in this part of the Realm of Gods, but that doesn't seem to be the case. "It's fine. It is normal you have never heard about it. I just thought Sonzei's Tribe had a similar name to it."
Rean and Kentucky looked at Sonzei. The reason they both were interested in Sonzei's Bloodline was because the laws seemed to revolve around him. And they seemed to be the laws of water. Obviously, his cultivation isn't anywhere near enough for him to even think about laws. In fact, Sonzei most likely doesn't even know laws exist. Of course, neither Rean nor Kentucky knows anything about the Laws of Water, so they couldn't be sure. Roan, as the Yin part of the group, and water being a Yin element, might be able to see something else. Yet, Roan showed no interest in the boy, so Rean didn't force it. At the moment, Roan only cared about his training and getting rid of the side effects of the various breakthroughs in a short time. Celis accompanied him in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm since he wanted to go back to cultivate as fast as possible.
