Although that was impossible for the time being, Leon decided to share the knowledge with Darya, because in the future, they might have the technology to travel to a world that is a lower stage of assimilation. They could send their soldiers to that world to practice their skills and obtain power faster… even though the enemies would be weaker.

"I see… times pass ten times faster in worlds that are in the lower stages of assimilation," Darya nodded to herself. "I guess we must study and improve our movement spells more and also develop our telescopes. About that, what did you…"

"Forget about that," Leon said. "Did any new dungeon appeared while I was away? Did one of the inactive dungeons became active again, and beings like me started to appear?"

"No… we monitor all dungeons down below," Darya answered. "I also go there quite frequently, and I have never seen anyone like you."

That was a stupid question, considering how much the people of Miebos changed in just a few decades, it wouldn't be weird that the humans of the earth changed and evolved.

"Did you see any sentient being leaving the dungeons?" Leon asked.

"… Only the liches, and they are not even that smart." Darya frowned.

"Shit… shit!" Leon shouted and punched the floor, making the entire building tremble. "Why it has to be like this? Damn you… fucking lizard."

It took quite a while for Leon to calm down, he wasn't holding back his anger, much less his strength. Although he was tapping his feet on the ground, slowly, the whole room was getting full of cracks.

"… Did your grandfather said anything to you?" Leon said after breathing in deeply for several minutes. "How did he die?"

"We analyzed his body after the death, but we didn't find the cause," Darya looked away, trying to hide her sadness. "The only thing we discovered was that his internal organs just aged too much for some reason… we checked the bodies of the warriors that once lived down below, but we didn't find any anomaly. So, the cause wasn't the distribution of his status… the cause was most likely a disease that we can't identify with our technology."

"I see…" Leon said.

That was a bit suspicious, but Leon had many reasons to believe that the cause of his death was the shadowy figure. He gave Donan powers that his body couldn't withstand, even though he used it just a few times, the price to use it was too high… it wasn't a power he obtained naturally, after all.

"He didn't say anything in particular on his last days…" Darya added. "He only said that we shouldn't get near the liches area."

Leon nodded; it looked like even Donan understood that the power he received was the cause of his death. At least he died without making his granddaughter, or anyone avenge him. That being said, it was hard to know if that had been the right choice, the shadowy figure was still collecting mana from Miebos to himself, after all.

Still… now Leon was facing a problem thanks to him. Should he tell Darya what he did? That he erased her memories time and time again and that he possibly sold his planet for an unknown being? Considering that Darya was now on his position and was working hard to proceed with his 'legacy' the answer was obvious… or so Leon thought at first. It was impossible to know… Darya was forty years old, even though she looked young as ever, she spent thirty years of her life working for her grandfather, and then of those she was being treated like a tool. She looked happy when she recalled the moments she spent with her grandfather, what would happen to her if the last twenty years of her life were based on a lie?

"It doesn't matter, even I tell her… she won't believe…"

Believe in the words of a relative that treated her well for years or believe in the words of a violent invader? Any sane person would choose the first option…

"… Why are you so quiet?" Darya asked.

"It is nothing…" Leon sighed. "Here, this is a building the harvesters used to rest. It has many interesting machines inside. Eventually, your researchers will be able to understand how it works… it will be handy for the future of this world. Don't try to use it in the middle of the city, though. You will end up destroying several buildings."

"… Why are you giving me this?" Darya frowned.

"I want to have access to all the archives on the research center, and I want to make use of the soldiers you guys train there," Leon said.

"What?!" Darya asked, shocked.

"I won't reveal the things I learn there to anyone, and I won't kill any of your subordinates," Leon declared. "That being said, they will get hurt… many times."

"This is…" Darya hesitated.

"I guess this isn't enough… I will teach your people how to produce mithril." Leon said. "However, if any of you try to stop me, get on my way, or betray me, prepare yourselves. My retribution will only end when I see this whole continent underwater."

Leon didn't enjoy threatening someone who was once a friend, but in order to prevent the worst-case scenario, he had to make that clear. He didn't feel good causing the end of two races, but he won't stop with two if he is betrayed again. Even if a friend betrays him, he won't be merciful…
