<h4>Chapter 160 I Want It All (3)</h4>


    Rowan chuckled, "I needed certain resources and information from you, so I think my actions should warrant a more favorable return from your end."


    "I told you he was direct. Of course, we intend to do so and much more." This time it was Nana that spoke, "If you check your personal Trailer–Motor. You would see the resources that had been dropped for you, a gift from Circe and a personal surprise from Scarvros here."


    "A surprise?" Rowan asked as he took more cookies from the te, this one resembled a lion.


    "Please, Scarvros would exin it better, he was sent by the family from our home world Trion." Circe gestured to Scarvros who bowed to her, and then he turned to face Rowan.


    He cleared his throat, "I am Scarvros, Chief Administrative Officer of the Tenth Legion for the Boreas Family. The Ancestor Boreas is aware of the cmity from the stars that had fallen on Boreas, and has therefore made a wide call for heroes far and near to aid us in this disaster. These are trying times, and more than ever we need heroes."


    "To ensure the heroes are properlypensated for the risk they are willing to take for our sake and the safety of the world, we have created a list from which every resource that is under the purview of our innumerable Trading Houses across the entire empire is up for exchange."


    Scarvros paused for effect, clearly this must be significant news as he expected Rowan to be impressed, Rowan took a cookie.


    He sighed and continued, "The Ancestor Boreas does not just want the cmity to be managed, he requires them to be eradicated! There is a copy of the exchange list in your quarters and I promise you, the rewards are substantial, with many exotic resources that are impossible to be found in any other ces but our trading houses."


    Scarvros, picked up a te by the side that gave out a blue glow, many names were recorded on it, "Plus as further incentives, the Ancestor has brought out three great prizes to be awarded to the three most powerful contributors to the eradication of the cmity. You should be pleased to know that your name is in the top twenty."


    Scarvros said all these in a single breath, and Rowan did not take much time to consider his proposition. He had guessed that the Boreas family would mount a counter-attack on the beasts ravaging the, although he had always thought it would be after they had gathered all their workers wide and secured them in the underground cities before any attack mightmence.


    A Great Storm wasing, and from the books he had read, they were usually a wild affair, so the people called to exterminate the beasts would be facing attacks on two fronts, but this was not his concern.


    Instead, Rowan was feeling a slight bit of annoyance, he had already allocated every beast on this as his prey, and to find out that he would have to share them, and that there were neen other people above him that had killed more beast were annoying. He shook away this childish thought as he focused on Scarvros.


    Scavros turned the te around, so Rowan could easily peruse the contents, it was a list of names and a series of numbers beside them, he swiped left to show Rowan the exchange panel and swiped back to the screen of names.


    Rowan collected the te from his hands, and viewing the names, he frowned, "I would like to ask, how are the lists being tabted. I mean, how do you know the amounts of beasts that are ughtered by each person and assign the right number to their undertakings?"


    "Are you not aware of the Nemesis te and of its functions?" Scarvros asked in surprise.


    Circe replied in ce of Rowan, "Scarvros because of certain circumstances, he is not aware of certain facts about the world around us."


    "Oh, you would have me believing he is Erohim, if such coincidences keep happening." Scarvrosughed.


    "Who says he is not?" Circe countered.


    "he he… good one. Well, for the fact that he shot up the list from the low thousands to the top twenty in a matter of hours, is already causing quite amotion among the Nemesis te Guardians, and with the name assigned to him, there are already wagging tongues in all of Jarkarr."


    "Let''s focus back on the question, shall we?" Rowan asked, "How are these kills tabted?"


    "Allow me the honor of answering your question, Erohim." Nana smirked, she had stood up a while back and went to fetch more cookies for Rowan, seeing as he clearly loved the tasty treat.


    "There is a Nemesis te on mosts of our Glorious Empire, on it are recorded all living creatures inside the, both beast and people included. This practice of creating a Nemesis te began during the Great war as a way to record fatalities in troops, but its usage has expanded over the years until it has be a verifiable tool to track various poption parameters inside a. With me so far?"


    Rowan nodded and ate more of the cookies in relish.


    "The Nemesis te is a series of Transcendent Treasures, crafted by the Alchemist Union under the guidance of the Bramian court."


    Nana must have understood that he may notprehend all the terminologies he was using, but Rowan understood a few, like the Bramian court and the Alchemist union, but he would not call out that he knew those words.


    Rowan was too clear about the hidden purpose of his host, and the books he was given did not have heavy details about the various powers in Trion. He did not think it was a coincidence.


    "I have made sure thetest books deposited in your vehicle have all the necessary information about the various Thrones and Dominions in Trion. Witnessing your abilities, I find it very necessary for you to understand the various power ys and politics of the Empire."


    Rowan could not ask for a better gift, no doubt they would have restricted this knowledge from him until they understood who he was, or he showed his capabilities.


    Rowan felt this was a sign of their increasing interest in him. They had begun dangling the bait in front of him slowly, and they were watching to see when he was going to bite.


    "However I can tell you the ranking of Treasures, as those are easy enough to list out. They are: Mortal, Refined, Earth, Heaven, Transcendent, Immortal and finally Origin. Treasures of the Transcendent Grade and below can be used by Dominators, but from the Immortal Grade, it can exclusively be used by Ancestors of the family or our Primogenitors themselves—The gods."


    Rowan was curious about the grading of Treasures, as he saw the simrities between their grading and the advancement of his Berserker techniques, although he now wondered why the rest of his abilities did not have the same grading.


    "Coming back to your question, as a Transcendent Treasure that is at the peak of the mortal world, each Nemesis te can be used to track and collect the statistics of every living thing below a certain threshold of power, but there are caveats to its abilities."


    "For one, each Nemesis te can only be paired to a single, so that means the Nemesis te for Jarkarr would not function on Phobeh, the closest in our sr system."


    "The second is that the Nemesis te can only passively collect the details of natives of the, so that means if you are a foreigner on the, the Nemesis te would be able to know there is an extra individual on the, but it would not be able to track or passively collect any information on that individual."


    "It might not seem like much, but it is a necessary tool for any worth its salt, as the void of space is filled with malevolent creatures such as those that attacked Jarkarr, and the Nemesis te would immediately detect when something new enters the."
