Nero's eyes lit up at the sight of those details; he couldn't help but smile as he thought to himself.

'This is amazing, with this I can finally get rid of those Judgement Cuffs, it's too weak to affect battles at my level, and what's more, with this being a rare artifact, I can increase its strength with my levels.'

Nero couldn't feel any more satisfied, but as if to pour cold water on his mood, Adult Nero spoke, "Not exactly."

'What?' Nero said confusedly.

Adult Nero shook his head and replied, "Rare Tier items are generally capable of allowing growth, with only some not providing it. However, just like this, there is another thing to note about growth type Rare Tier artifacts: their leveling limits. All growth type Rare Tier items have a limit with which they can't surpass, and your Grezelor's Cursed Scythe, Sky Walker Boots, and this new find have limits you can't yet see."

'Hmm, why can't I see them?' Nero asked in his mind.

"Because you have yet to arrive at the standard level." Adult Nero said no longer speaking again.

'Hmph! It's not like I won't reach it someday, so mean…'

Nero thought with a complex look before he cleared his mind; he no longer bothered to ask about it as he knew his older self wouldn't say anything more. Now, he looked onto the strange-looking tattered scroll that floated before him, grasping it firmly in his hand as he inspected it.

'Identify,' He commanded with his mind, but rather than seeing it transform before his eyes, there was an unusual notification.

Ding!

[Due to Host's limitations, ???? Scroll is unobservable!]

Nero frowned at this as he shook the scroll back and forth while complaining, "You've got to be kidding me; why the hell give me a reward if I can't understand its use?"

He turned his attention to Mia and Red Rain, noticing that they both only carried calm looks; though Mia showed more of her emotions, while Red Rain had a flicker in her eyes. it was clear that they got worthy rewards and didn't have to go through his struggles.

As if noticing Nero's sour look, Mia giggled as she inched closer to his direction, bending her body forwards to show her plump bosom as she spoke, "Hehe, Wild... no, Nero… how is it? Aren't you satisfied with the rewards?"

The soothing sound of her voice as the sweet fragrant limited to only her kind, flowed towards him giving him a few peculiar feelings. It even made it more troubling when he saw her suggestive pose as she looked at him with her bright and beautiful eyes.

Though bolder than most youths, Nero didn't fully adjust to the previous sudden kiss; he shifted his eyes from her, trying to suppress his state of mind before she replied.

"No, I only got something useless," Nero said as he waved his hand before putting away the tattered scroll, not bothering to mention the previous item.

Mia gave him an in-depth look as she answered, "Ohh, well, don't be sad, I'm sure you'll be able to find a use for it someday. Hehe, who knows, it might just be a treasure map; you'll have to invite me and this sister here if that's the case."

Red Rain had been calmly listening from the side, her eyes deeply glancing at Nero with her thoughts unknown to the world.

Nero gave Mia and look before turning to Red Rain, noticing how she was eyeing him; he couldn't help but feel strange as he thought to himself.

'This strange girl...'

He couldn't' quite understand what she wanted even now, but as he didn't want to think about it, he no longer let it bother him. Knowing that the scroll might be more than it seemed, he gave them a look and replied, "Fine, fine, I'll be sure to invite you girls, but only if it's some treasure map."

"Yay, you hear that? He didn't reject it, now we know that if he does go without us someday, he'll be no different from what those humans call a cheating liar," Mia said with a joyful expression on her face. Still, deep down, it also carried a hint of cleverness, her slender fox eyes staring at Nero as if he was a rabbit in a trap.

"Indeed."

Red Rain said in a slightly indifferent tone, but it was clear that she tried to add a hint of emotion to it, such a pity that she wasn't used to expressing herself to others.

Nero didn't expect such a reaction from the girls; he naturally understood that they might know things he wouldn't. Still, what shocked him the most was Red Rains light words from the minor exchange.

"Mia, come on, it's time to go." The Blissful Flame Fox said as she walked over from one side.

Mia glanced at her with an annoyed look, but the Blissful Flame Fox only smiled at her. When she saw that overly gently look, Mia didn't dare to talk back, she sighed and spoke, "Okay, fine, Nero, let's meet again."

Following those words, the Blissful Flame Fox opened her eyes and glanced at Nero, giving him an intense stare. In that look, it seemed as if she was a black hole, aiming to swallow him into oblivion, leaving nothing behind.

Nero felt alarmed at this, never expecting such a scene, he soon felt as if he was about to lose his mind, seeing only a peerless beautiful figure before him.

In this second, his mouth became parched as his body's senses began to react differently as if he was immensely attracted to her.

Adult Nero frowned at this; his eyes shone in cold light as a vague energy formed around him. He was one moment from taking direct action, but right at this moment, he heard a snort from a different direction of Village Chief Pan as her voice sounded.

"Miss Alesia, I hope that you're not thinking of charming this poor child on my watch."

Village Chief Pan said with a cold look in her eyes as she stared at Alesia.

Mia grew angry when she turned to her sister; she only now realized what just happened.

"Big Sister, what are you doing?" Mia angrily cursed, her plump fox tail rising as it stiffened due to her rage.

Alesia, however, soon returned to normal, her lips curving into a smile as she spoke with a slightly flushed face, "Ah, excuse me, old habits... hehe... Mia, don't blame your sister, he's just too... handsome... come let's go."

Mia felt even more enraged at this, but before she could say anything else, Alesia made a light giggle before both she and Mia vanished into thin air.

Nero, who was now filled with sweat, looked at this with a stern gaze as he pondered, 'I... I really don't hope to be targeted by a woman like that in the future.'

Pff. Adult Nero tried to hold back his laughter at this, the severe look of his eyes fading a bit as he felt the scene funny.

Village Chief Pan, on the other hand, merely gave Nero a look before she spoke, "Little one, go on now, you have quite a lot of time, I think you should make the best of it before you go back to your domain."

Nero nodded at this before he replied, "Okay, Grandma Chief, see you around."

Nero left towards a different direction after saying such words, he noticed that while walking, Red Rain had already vanished, but as he didn't know much about her, he left it at the back of his mind, pressing onwards into the scene of the afternoon.
