Yale truly wouldn't mind to also adopt Dan if he asked for it someday. After all, Jika and Dan weren't really siblings even if Yale adopted both of them, so there wouldn't be any problem with their relationship, but even if Yale explained that to Jika she wouldn't understand since her mind was still too immature.
It was already a miracle that she could understand so much as she had shown. Yale felt that Jika probably had learned a lot by hearing others in the cities.
That night Jika fell asleep on Yale's arms. She and Dan did that a lot, so Jika didn't feel that Dan would feel something strange.
Dan felt that something changed on Jika's mood, but if she was happy, he didn't have any problem.
Some days after that, Yale finally noticed a tribe with his divine sense.
He thought that they would need several years to find the tribe, but somehow, it was nearer than expected.
As a nomad tribe, the position of the tribe wasn't fixed, so it was really a matter of luck finding it, but Yale had just barely stepped into the enormous area where they could be and immediately found them.
"Welcome, Master Liye. We have been waiting for you."
A man appeared in front of Yale without Yale even noticing it.
The man looked like a butler, which was extremely strange for the image Yale thought of a nomad tribe.
Moreover, that man was far stronger than the criminal had killed before, a ninth level immortal.
To have a ninth level immortal acting as a butler, Yale could guess how strong that tribe was.
Moreover, it seemed that the tribe had also heard about him like the those in the cities he had visited.
"Follow me, our chief wants to see you."
Yale never expected that it would be that easy being invited to the tribe. He couldn't believe that everything was due to his fame for killing that criminal.
"Please, leave the wolves here. Someone will take care of them. Only those invited can enter."
The butler spoke once they reached the tribe.
It didn't matter if they were wolves or humans, only those invited to enter the tribe could enter.
Yale didn't feel that the butler had any ill intention, so he agreed to leave Jika and Dan there. After all, given the strength of that tribe, they didn't need any tricks if they wanted to harm a seventh level immortal and two cubs who weren't even immortals.
Jika seemed to cry, but Yale comforted her before entering into the tribe.
Yale didn't feel anything strange when entering the tribe, but the butler smiled.
"You surpassed the test even before it started, impressive. I guess that you unlocked the Celestial Knowledge, right?"
Yale was slightly shocked, but he nodded in reply.
"As we expected. It is impossible that such an important person would come to beg for the sake of someone without the qualifications to learn."
Yale didn't understand those words perfectly, but it seemed that someone else had spoken about him to the tribe and that Celestial Knowledge was a requirement to learn.
"When did you unlock it?"
When the butler asked that question, Yale replied immediately.
"My soul had that capability from the beginning, although I sealed it for some time in the past."
"Oh, that is really strange. You indeed have a lot of talent. No wonder you once reached godhood."
Yale was frozen when he heard those words.
After all, no one in that universe should know about that matter.
"You are thinking about how I know about it, right? Don't worry, I doubt that too many people could unless they experienced it themselves or had close contact with someone who did it."
Yale was really worried that he would be discovered, and the butler guessed it perfectly.
"My master was once a Minor God, but after losing a battle for a valuable treasure, he was forced to reincarnate. He also sealed his innately Celestial Knowledge with his memories while reincarnating, but after growing strong enough, he recovered everything. At that moment, his aura was very similar to yours, so I expected that you had a similar story. The reincarnation aura around you shows that you aren't inexperienced in the matter."
That butler just dressed as a butler because he used to act as one with his master. The only reason he went personally to receive Yale was that he felt that Yale was a person similar to his master and felt nostalgic.
"Well, I guess that you can say similar, but I am not as amazing as your master."
Yale knew very well that he hadn't really become a God before. That had been just thanks to Alter Yale, so Yale didn't want to boast about it.
However, in the end, Alter Yale was still Yale, so even if Yale boasted about it, no one could complain. It was already impressive enough that the same person existed two times simultaneously due to a time travel. In fact, except Great God Kroh and Alter Yale, no one else managed to do something like that. Of course, Alter Yale did it imperfectly, but it was still a great feat.
"No, you are just like my master. Daring to obtain the qualifications as a member of the Council of Gods despite being a mere Minor God, you had the same guts as my master, although both of you died for it and reincarnated. It is too sad that my master was hunted down before he could advance again to Minor God because I am sure that you could have been good friends."
Yale didn't expect that the master of that butler was dead, but it was even more shocking that managed to obtain the qualifications while being a Minor God.
However, for the conversation, that master never managed to use them.
Of course, the most shocking was that all the secrets he didn't want to reveal were just seen through immediately, but fortunately, that butler didn't seem to be his enemy.
"I won't tell this to anyone else, don't worry. Now, this is our chief's house, please enter."
Although they called themselves tribe, the houses seemed very well made. They didn't look like nomad's dwellings at all.
However, Yale knew that it wasn't difficult to transport that kind of houses since he did it in the past.
Yale slightly bowed to the butler before entering into the chief's house.
"Welcome, Liye. Since I heard the rumors about you, I knew that you would come here someday. As I promised to your friend, we gave you a chance to test if you were worthy to meet with us, and you passed the test."
Yale didn't find the tribe so quickly by coincidence, the tribe moved on purpose near the area where Yale would come.
"Well, I guess that if that kid was so stubborn in teaching you, he must have known that you had the qualifications, although it is still difficult to see that kid having friend given how antisocial he seemed the first time I met him."
The chief laughed.
"You must thank that kid. He said that you knew him by the name Tofesh. If it weren't because he is until now my best disciple outside the tribe, I would have never agreed to give you a chance just because he asked for it."
At that moment, Yale understood everything.
Hearing the Tofesh's name made clear who had spoken about him to the tribe to make them act like that in front of him.
Moreover, after merging it with the rumors of a prince going to that tribe to ask to teach someone else, Yale was sure that the prince was Tofesh.
For Yale, obtaining news about his friend was extremely important.
Yale missed all his family and friends on his universe, but he had also been missing Tofesh a lot.
Without Tofesh's help, Yale knew that he wouldn't be standing where he was.
"Thank you very much for the chance. I will go to meet Tofesh afterward, but I don't know where he is."
When the chief heard Yale's words, he laughed again.
"Given how famous you turned for a minor thing like beating that criminal, as long as you are in a city, he would find you first. It is just that he promised to not leave until becoming a ninth level immortal in exchange for the chance to come here to meet us, and thus, give you this chance."
Yale didn't know how much time Tofesh would need to reach that level, but he was sure that it had been a great sacrifice for Tofesh.
"Well, let's stop speaking of uninteresting matters. You came here to learn from us, I can tell that, but at the same time, that isn't your main motive. You want our help, right?"
Yale nodded because hiding things wouldn't help at all in that situation.
"There is a matter regarding this sword."
Yale took out Lar's Sword and showed it to the chief, who grabbed it while carefully examining it.
However, for how he treated it, he seemed to be holding a child instead of a sword, but Yale felt that for expert crafters, masterpieces could be easily counted as important as their own children, and Yale needed to admit that Lar's Sword was the best sword he had wielded.
"Beautiful. This sword is excellent, and it has been taken care of properly. You did a great job. What is the problem with it?"
