"Are you sure about this?" Idan asked Lucinda to clarify.

"Yes," Lucinda nodded. "The Dark One was able to partially bypass the seal and gain this knowledge from the Creature of Light that you captured. We even checked the people you detained and made sure of it."

"Yeah, that complicates the situation," Arslan commented, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"This method is not widespread now, and not all people have gone through this method," Irene said. "We must somehow convey this news to people so that they realize what they are doing by agreeing to the help of Creatures of Light."

"It's not going to be easy," Idan said. "The entire network is controlled by the Federation, and as we know, the Federation is undoubtedly cooperating with the Creatures of Light. They will delete all the information."

"Even so, we should at least try. And even if we fail to spread it massively, even if we just start a rumor, it will already be a success," Irene was not going to give up without taking any action.

"I can assume that not only Creatures of Light are engaged in such activities. Probably, other Creatures from various elemental worlds help people in their cultivation, thereby making them dependent on them," Idan said, recalling old man Hans, who, despite his age, was already a Silver—ranked cultivator.

Everything pointed to the fact that it was not the Creatures of Light that helped him, but the Creatures of Fire.

"It's not the most important thing right now, we have enough worries as it is," Idan eventually said, looking at how everyone except Lucinda began to worry about this issue.

"But we must not ignore this. Let's spread the news to the Guild members and their loved ones first, and then start with Nordist and see what happens next."

"I agree," Irene replied.

"Big sister, are you sure that Sierra proposed something similar to my mother and Irene's mother, what are you going to propose to Idan's mother?" asked Arabel.

"I'm pretty sure the Dark One couldn't miss this opportunity," — Lucinda replied with a grin. "Of the two of us, she wanted to test all the new knowledge and abilities she had acquired the most."

Arabel, Arslan, and Irene exchanged glances, and it was clear that they all wanted to go and ask their mothers about it. They wanted to know if they had accepted Sierra's offers or not.

"If Inessa… my mother won't mind, I don't see any obstacles," Idan replied, noticing that Lucinda was waiting for his answer. "She's an adult woman with her own thoughts and opinions on her head. Let her make her own decision."

"Okay," — Lucinda nodded when she got the answer, but she wasn't happy. She was lost in thought, looking at Idan.

"Big Sister, have you decided which Forbidden Zone you're going to hunt beasts in?" Arabel asked, distracting Lucinda from her thoughts.

"Not yet," she replied. "Any suggestions?"

"I thought that the upcoming Third Disaster would cover the entire Federation, and we would have to move around a lot."

"Dan and I have the ability to fly, so we don't have a problem with that. But the others don't have this ability, so I would ask you to focus on capturing flying beasts, preferably without any affinity with the elements. This will allow many of the tamers to sign contracts with them."

"That's a great offer, Sister," Arslan said.

"Indeed," Irene nodded.

As Arabel had said, not everyone had the ability to fly, and everyone would have needed a flying pet.

Although the Doppelgangers could take the form of flying beasts, Arabel doubted that all the Guild members would be able to sign contracts with them. This applied even to Mute and Talking Doppelgangers, not to mention Perfect Doppelgangers.

Of course, it would be great if all the members of the Kingdom Guild could sign contracts with Doppelgangers.

"Then everything becomes much easier, and I know where to go," Lucinda said with a smile.

"Oh, and where to?" asked Idan curiously.

"Of course, at Wind Cliffs," Lucinda replied with confidence.

"Wind Cliffs?" Idan and Arabel simultaneously recalled how Milica had told them about Limbo's nine Forbidden Zones.

--------------------------

Wind Cliffs is one of the nine Forbidden Zones of Limbo.

It consists of numerous small flying islands connected by a rope web and stretching from the ground to high into the sky. The central part of which is located on the highest point and represents the largest island. And to reach it, you need to climb these ropes from island to island.

The difficulty of the journey lies in the strong winds, which become stronger as they approach the central island. And of course, flying monsters' nest on these islands, which are not very welcome to guests.

--------------------------

After a short conversation, during which Idan and Arabel shared their knowledge of the Forbidden Zone with Irene and Arslan, everyone went about their business.

Lucinda went in search of Idan's mother to discuss her proposal with her.

Arabel, Irene, and Arslan also went to look for their mothers.

Arabel, in addition to asking about Sierra's proposal, had one more thing to do with her mother — to return the "Manual of Dual Cultivation."

Yesterday, she still hadn't been able to find her parents, and as she noticed, the two had spent the entire day in seclusion in their bedroom, practicing Dual Cultivation.

"Perhaps it was a mistake to share this manual with my mother?" Arabel thought then. "I hope Father is still alive."

Idan, meanwhile, teleported to the center of the ring of seasons fire region in the Kingdom, where a sprout grew from the seed of the fire elemental.

"Wow!" exclaimed Idan, seeing how the first scarlet leaves began to break through on the sprout.

Sprout, as if sensing Idan's presence, reached out to him.

Idan sat down next to it and, as he had done before, touched the sprout with his index finger. It immediately wrapped itself around his finger and began greedily absorbing the energy of the fire element, which Idan generously shared with it.

The sprout, sated, let go of his finger and swayed several times, as if thanking him for the treat.

"I have something for you," Idan said, extracting a Golden-grade Fire Element R-crystal. He placed it next to the sprout so that it could slowly absorb the energy from that source.

Feeling the crystal, the sprout bent down and pressed against it, as if lying on top of it and resting, at the same time being fueled by its energy.

Idan, watching this scene, smiled, sat down next to it, and finally decided to check how many Fire Element Crystals they had obtained and how many Systems Points they would cost.
