Chapter 218: The Record Temple
"The island has gathered chefs from various planets, each with unique culinary skills," Kyle explained. "I'm not sure how much Sonia spent hiring them, but we get to try different dishes daily."
"Food on Blue Star is great, and the games are fun, but in terms of variety, it can't compare to what we have here," Leicy added. "It would be fantastic to bring some of Blue Star's best dishes here. If we had those, they would surely be popular."
Leicy, having experienced most of Blue Star's entertainment, missed the diverse games available there.
Reno, Kyle, and the Seer had gone out to meet some women, but Leicy had spent most of her time enjoying food and exploring games.
"I'll see if I can get my hands on some of those recipes when I return to Blue Star," Tony mused, deep in thought. He had asked Steve and Banner to keep an eye on Blue Star, and if any trouble arose, they were to notify him immediately.
That allowed Tony to comfortably leave Blue Star and return to Xandar.
Although Tony brought his vibranium and Iron Man suits along, he chose to dress casually, fitting for the warm summer climate.
Despite the absence of certain ingredients and animals from Blue Star on Xandar, he figured he could always purchase a large starship and have everything transported back.
Once Blue Star transitioned to an interstellar age, he planned to keep an eye on things while bringing advanced technology back to the planet. Most of his time would be spent on Void Island, as the ease of travel made it preferable to be in a freer environment.
As the group walked along the path, they suddenly spotted a brand-new temple.
It wasn't as massive or towering as the Void Temple, but it was still quite substantial and bustling with activity.
"What is that temple for?" Tony asked, taken aback by the sight.
"I have no idea," Reno replied, equally confused. "We've only been gone for half a month; how did a new temple pop up?"
"I'm not sure, but it looks like quite a few of our comrades are going in and out," Kyle noted, observing the crowds.
"That's the Record Temple," the Seer interjected after glancing at the structure.
"What's the Record Temple?" Leicy asked, her curiosity piqued. "I assume you've already used your powers to check it out?"
"Let's go find out," the Seer said with a hint of intrigue. "The record keeper is a beauty."
"Beauty?" Tony's eyes lit up with interest. "Seer, elaborate!"
"Please tell me this beauty isn't like Claudia, that fierce she-beast?" Reno said cautiously, recalling their previous encounter with Claudia.
The last time the Seer mentioned a new beauty on the island, it turned out to be Claudia, who was indeed stunning but had an intimidating personality.
"Not at all; she's an ordinary person." The Seer shook his head.
"An ordinary person serving as a record keeper? You must be joking," Reno said skeptically.
"I found it strange too, which is why I used my foresight to check various scenarios," the Seer explained. "Even when I used the term 'kill,' she showed no signs of power. She's genuinely just an ordinary person."
This revelation was startling yet convincing.
"Please tell me you didn't foresee how to kill me, right?" Tony asked, a nervous smile creeping onto his face.
"We're all compatriots. Unless you break the rules, I won't foresee anything about how to kill you," the Seer assured him, his tone serious.
"What's the situation now?" Kyle asked, growing cautious. "An ordinary person as a record keeper—was this Lord Kassadin's command?"
"Let's just observe for now," Reno suggested, still a bit unsure.
"Why are you guys so worried?"Leicy interjected. "They all go in and out without any issues. Let's just go see for ourselves!"
"Will there be any danger?" Reno asked. "If we offend the record keeper, could we incur Lord Kassadin's wrath?"
The Seer glanced at Reno and, without hesitation, followed Leicy inside.
Although uncertain about the record keeper's identity, Reno felt reassured knowing the Seer was willing to proceed, despite his reservations.
Tony and Kyle exchanged glances, deciding to linger behind.
If anything unusual happened, they could easily distance themselves.
The group followed the path into the temple.
Inside, they found a striking woman in a red gown, with alluring red hair, engrossed in writing something.
"I'm Sara. My duty is to record your travel destinations and return times," she greeted, looking up with a smile upon noticing the newcomers. "May I ask your names? Are you here to report your travels or just returning from a planet outside Xandar?"
Upon seeing her beauty, both Kyle and Tony quickened their pace, stepping to the front.
"I'm Tony Stark, just back from Blue Star," Tony introduced himself, intrigued by her beauty. "I'd love to invite you to share a drink and chat!"
"Ah, so you're the famous Tony Stark!" Sara replied, her smile widening. "I'd be delighted to accept your invitation, but I have work to do. However, I can chat with you while I work."
As she spoke, Sara began jotting down notes, marking Tony Stark's arrival from Blue Star on June 17th.
