Chapter 339 Family Problems
"I see… I know that you guys are in a hurry, but you should at least stay here for the night and prepare," Sauros said. "By the way, this is my wife. Her name is Leinia."
"It is a pleasure, everyone," Leinia said, still smiling. "Our house is big. Please, feel at home."
"We don't have time, and we came because I thought you would help us prepare faster," Seris said.
"If you want to face the frozen Tyrant to join your side, a bit of preparation won't be enough," Sauros said. "You can't reach that creature that easily, even more so when there is a chance that you might go to the past. Also, I want to hear the alterations that Aion made in detail to make sure that the history didn't change."
"Like I said…" Seris insisted.
"Give up, Seris," Sauros said and then dropped a chop on his sister's head. "You need to give some explanations to mom and dad."
"Urgh…" Seris groaned in pain.
"I guess you are in trouble for some reason," Aion shrugged. "Did she leave without permission?"
"It is something more complicated than that… don't worry about it. This is the result of her lack of resolve," Sauros explained and then facepalmed. "By the way, what do you think about our base? Pretty cool, right?"
"Eh…" Aion shrugged.
"The nerve…" Sauros sighed.
"Hahaha, he is exactly like you described," Leinia said after laughing pretty hard.
Truth be told, Aion didn't want to stay, but he also had to confirm what happened in the past, and there was no better place to confirm that than the Heradins base.
The group entered Sauros' house and then stopped in the living room. There was nothing out of the norm, and it had some couches, chairs, a table, a chimney… Aion was starting to Wonder why he was expecting something else.
In any case, Aion explained what he did in the past, and he told them his opinion as well about that era. The fact that he met someone like his ancestor in a dream eight hundred years ago also picked up Sauros' interest.
"History isn't one of Seris' forte, so she didn't know much about that time, but I do," Sauros said. "As far as I remember, there was no battle between armies in that place… my ancestors of that time wrote about it. Still, if Fenhair still remembers you… I need to read that report again. Rest here while I will look for the archives and prepare the things that you will need."
"Which is?" Aion asked.
"A lot of gear to fight the cold," Sauros replied and then got up. "Getting close to the frozen Tyrant can't be compared to the cold we felt while we were in that labyrinth."
"Hmm, is that so…" Aion rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Seris… why didn't you explain about that area properly?" Sauros asked after facepalming. "Anyway, do that while I solve the other things for you."
Sauros left the residence with clothes that Aion could only describe as pajamas… too relaxing. He didn't pass confidence as the future leader of their tribe while walking around like that.
In any case, Seris explained that the frozen Tyrant was sealed inside a massive block of ice that was the size of a mountain. At the same time, a massive ice tornado that hadn't lost power in five hundred years surrounded the ice mountain. He could only imagine how cold things would become there…
"Those guys sure like to sleep… I guess they don't have better things to do," Aion said. "By the way, did anyone or any country try to tame the frozen tyrant?"
"No one would be insane enough to tame that thing, only you," Seris raised her eyebrow. "That thing is like one hundred meters tall, and its presence alone is said to keep the ice tornado going. It is like trying to tame a walking disaster."
Aion could only nod… after all, the draconic wanderer wanted to eat Fenhair and not tame it. He couldn't help but wonder if he would need help this time, the death knights might come in handy, but Aion still had a long way ahead before upgrading the necromancer class again.

"It seems that even after hearing that, you don't intend to give up," Seris said and then shrugged. "What would you do if the relics reacted to that place?"
"That will depend on what Sauros will say," Aion replied. "If the past was altered and there were no weird consequences, I would do the same as before. If it was altered, I would just destroy the cause of it. Either way, the relics will only point to distortions that aren't supposed to exist, and those are the real dangerous things since they can create timelines and possibly alter the past… my guess is that I altered the past."
"Why do you think that?" Arlana asked.
"Because of my mother… she can't hear almost nothing when we are talking about the practical uses of time magic and how I changed the outcome of that battle," Aion explained. "I can only guess that is because she isn't directly related to the issue, but what about someone like me that has the seal of the relics? What about others that can use time magic? If they have spells or relics of this level, they might not be treated like ordinary beings, and then the usual laws of time and space might not apply to them in certain situations."
