To be honest, Aoki didn't want to take advantage of the ghosts. After all, although they looked cunning and terrifying, after interacting with them for a while, he realized that the ghosts weren't much different from other elves. They were also simple and honest elves, although they might not look very kind.
What Aoki was talking about was the Evolution Stone. Whether the ghosts had seen it or not, he would let it pass. This time, he was able to successfully obtain the mission item and let the Dazed Beast learn telepathy. He had already achieved his goal.
However, what surprised Aoki was that after he finished speaking, the old ghost took out two pitch-black stones from a corner of the cave with a strange expression. He floated in front of Aoki and said, "You … Are you talking about this kind of stone?"
“.....”
Looking at the two virtual hands in the air, the two gasified hands were placed in the air. The gasified hands were holding two pitch-black stones, the Stone of Darkness.
Aoki couldn't help but be a little speechless. In fact, he really didn't mean to ask the ghost to take out the Evolution Stone, and two at once.
Seeing the two Stones of Darkness in the ghost's hands, the first to react was Dark Crow. He cried softly and then pulled Aoki's pants with his claws.
Dark Crow looked at the two Stones of Darkness. He didn't know why, but a desire from the bottom of his heart told him that he must get these two strange stones. These two stones could make him stronger, much stronger, and it could be said that they could cause a qualitative change.
Although he didn't know why this thought appeared in his mind, he still pulled Aoki's pants and told him that he needed these stones.
Aoki looked at Dark Crow, squatted down, and touched his feathers. He said softly, "Dark Crow, I know, but don't be anxious. It's not time for you to use these stones."
When the Dark Crow heard Aoki's voice, it gradually calmed down. No matter how many thoughts appeared in its mind, it knew that Aoki wouldn't harm it. It just had to do as Aoki said.
Aoki knew why the Dark Crow was so excited. This was an instinct in its blood. As long as it used the Stone of Darkness, it would be able to evolve into a crow's head, and its strength would greatly increase.
However, in Aoki's plan, the Dark Crow was far from meeting the requirements to evolve. Evolving it now would be a complete waste of its excellent talent and aptitude.
Originally, he didn't intend to be greedy for the Evolution Stones, but he didn't expect the old ghost to be so honest. He was just casually saying it, and he really took out two Stones of Darkness.
"Right." Aoki's heart skipped a beat as he muttered to himself. Following which, the A.I. Chip activated and the quality of the two gems were scanned.
Stone of Darkness (Intermediate): A mysterious stone that can allow certain treasures to evolve. It was as dark as the night. It could slightly increase the aptitude of a spirit.
Stone of Darkness (Elementary): A mysterious stone that can allow certain treasures to evolve. It was as dark as the night. It could allow a spirit to evolve, but it couldn't improve its aptitude.
'As expected, just like in my previous life, even if it's an Evolution Stone, there are differences in quality that lead to different effects. An intermediate Evolution Stone can slightly increase the aptitude of a spirit. If the Dark Crow uses an intermediate Evolution Stone, its aptitude will increase even further after evolution. It's not impossible for it to become dark green, 'Aoki thought silently.
"Then, what if it's an advanced Evolution Stone …" Aoki couldn't help but think of a possibility. Although the possibility of encountering an advanced Evolution Stone was too low, the Dark Crow still hadn't reached the stage where it needed to evolve. He could still afford to wait, right?
He didn't reject it and silently kept the two Evolution Stones in the Rocket Team's belt. He said, "Thank you."
"This is what we should do. You help us, and we help you. To us, these two stones aren't of much use. It's just that the energy contained within is too strong, so we collected them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to find what you want so quickly, "the old ghost explained.
Garen nodded slightly.
Indeed, the Stone of Darkness was only effective for spirits that needed Evolution Stones to evolve. For ghosts, it didn't have any special effect.
After saying that, black gas filled Old Ghost's eyes. The visible gas gradually spread from his body to the Dazed Beast.
"Caw!" Seeing Old Ghost's behavior, the Dark Crow immediately panicked and wanted to attack.
The Dazed Beast was his companion, and the Dark Crow wouldn't allow anyone to hurt it.
Aoki reached out and stopped the Dark Crow's tense body that was about to attack. He slowly narrowed his eyes as he watched Old Ghost's behavior. Although he didn't know what Old Ghost was doing, he vaguely guessed that it might be related to telepathy. Moreover, the Dazed Beast didn't resist.
Aoki and the Dark Crow didn't have to wait for long. The black gas disappeared from the Dazed Beast's body and slowly returned to Old Ghost's side.
"Alright, I've taught him telepathy." Old Ghost's voice appeared in Aoki's mind again. As he expected, he was teaching the Dazed Beast telepathy.
"He's very talented. He just needs a guide." Old Ghost continued, "I can feel the enormous power in his body. However, he hasn't fully grasped it. This requires you to guide him well, human."
Aoki nodded. He knew that the Dazed Beast's talent was very high, but he didn't expect that it hadn't reached its limit.
"Mas … Mas … Master ~" Suddenly, a youthful voice appeared in Aoki's mind.
Aoki glanced at the Dazed Beast in surprise. He saw that his eyes were emitting a faint blue light. This voice was clearly his.
"Is that you? Dazed Beast? "Aoki asked.
The Dazed Beast nodded, but he didn't use telepathy. It seemed that he wasn't used to using this ability. Moreover, he was shy and not good at talking.
He patted the Dazed Beast's smooth, light pink head and encouraged with a smile, "It's okay. We'll slowly learn how to use it."
"Okay!" The Dazed Beast's voice sounded again. If it was judged by human standards, the Dazed Beast must be a very cute little boy.
Dark Crow also sensed Dazed Beast's voice in his mind. As elves, they didn't actually need to communicate mentally, but it felt very magical. Dark Crow curiously circled around Dazed Beast twice. Dazed Beast was a little embarrassed to be stared at like that when she thought about how her companion had learned such a fun ability.
Telepathy was a very magical ability. It didn't mean that it could learn the language of a certain race. It mainly relied on mental communication. It could automatically simulate the voice that you understood. In fact, it was only mental communication, not verbal communication.
This was basically the end of the trip. Aoki was very satisfied with the results. The most important reward was probably the elf egg from Kira. Although it was said that it couldn't be hatched, as long as the egg didn't die, there must be a way to hatch it. It was just that he hadn't found it yet.
The second reward was the ten bottles of Geocentric Milk. This was a huge fortune. If a Heavenly King tier powerhouse knew about it, they might not be able to help themselves.
Then there were the two Stones of Darkness. This was also an unexpected reward.
