Record Containing The Horned Leopard

Jason couldn't help but look at Austin in surprise that he willingly agreed to help him out without him persuading him.

"You are quite different from the other kids who only know how to bully the weak" said Jason with a smile on his face.

"You can't compare me to those fools who spend their time playing around when they should be training, I heard my brother was banned from taking pills by the grand elder" replied Austin.

"Yeah, they came here to look for trouble" said Jason.

"So they broke the grand elder grand rule" replied Austin before adding.

"So tell me when are we setting out".

"I was thinking of making preparations before leaving but since you volunteered to lend me a hand, then we will have to set out tomorrow after informing the grand elder about the plan " replied Jason.

"You are really naive if you think the grand elder will let us go to the beast territory after hearing what you have to say" said Austin with a light chuckle.

"What are we going to tell him then" asked Jason.

"You can leave that to me, I already have the perfect excuse for you to skip work but the thing is when are we going" replied Austin.

"We can't just match into the beast territory with nothing to no information about the horned leopard and where to find them" said Jason as he placed his hand on the chin to give it a massage.

"Then I will be leaving for the family library to search for the horned leopard, I will be back in no time" comment Austin in anticipation as he rush out of the alchemy room.

Watching Austin as he made his way out of the alchemy room, Jason was all smiles as he said to himself.

"It won't be long before you will be completely cured of your illness, but until then you have to hold on".

"The way you are saying it makes it sound like it is going to be an easy task" replied the bracelet.

"Of course it is going to be easy as long as we don't go for the adult horned leopard" said Jason with a smile on his face.

"You should pray to your god that you will be able to see a young horned leopard on its own" replied the bracelet as he busted Jason's bubble.

"What do you mean by that" asked Jason with a frown. 

"What I am trying to say is that it's not easy meeting a young horned leopard that has come of age to go hunting on its own. Unless you are really lucky to come across one else it will be a difficult task for the both of you to complete since they will be protected by the adult horned leopards" reply the bracelet.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier instead of waiting until now that we are about to set out" said Jason in anger.

"That's because I believe you will be able to find one in the beast territory" replied the bracelet.

"Do you think it is easy moving in the beast territory without being detected for us to search the place for a young horned leopard" asked Jason in anger.

"That is why you have me here, just like last time I am going to be your eye throughout the journey" reply the bracelet proudly.

"Ain't you ashamed when saying those words" said Jason.

"Why should I be ashamed. Since I can't fight alongside my master, then I will just be your eye and protect you from coming across powerful beasts while we search for the beast" reply the bracelet.

While Jason was talking to the bracelet, Austin has already arrived at the family library as he went up to get the token that will grant him access inside before entering the library as he went in search of books that have to do with the beast's territory. Flipping through books after books as he begins to look for the content that mentions horned leopard.

"There seems to be no information about the horned here" complained Austin after going through server books before deciding to go ask the bookkeeper for some information.

"Excuse me sir how may I be of help to you" said the bookkeeper when he saw the young name approaching him.

"I am looking for the record containing the horned leopard" replied Austin.

The bookkeeper nodded his head before gesturing for Austin to follow him as he left him to a part where the books that are stirred there are few and pick a book that is covered in dust.

Getting rid of the dust, the bookkeeper passes it to Austin before going back to his post while leaving Austin behind.

"Alright, time to search for the horned leopard" said Austin happily after taking his seat.

It didn't take him much time to locate the content that contained the horned leopard as he began to read through it before keeping back on its spot when he was done with it as he took his leave.

Meanwhile, Jason was still contemplating if it is okay for them to go after hearing what the bracelet said when he heard the sound of footsteps from behind. Turning around to see who it was only for him to see Austin who had a smile on his face like someone who has completed an impossible task.

"How was it, were you able to find anything about the horned leopard" asked Jason.

"It was tiring but I still managed to find information containing them through the help of the bookkeeper" replied Austin.

"Nice, so tell me about your discovery" said Jason.

"There were not many records about them since they are rarely seen so our knowledge about the beast is very minimum" replied Austin.

"As long as it is useful " said Jason.

"It is recorded that the horned leopard is a beast that dwells in a location where the spiritual energy is high" said Austin.

"So we have to search the areas with high spiritual energy" commented Jason.
