Chapter 120 Ronnies Theory (1/2)

/Inferno: Semmi: We need to lock those away and keep them safe Nix. Those tokens are worth a fortune.

/Inferno: Shae: I'll keep them in my elemental world.

/Inferno: Nix: So...Explain what you've discovered about the New World.

/Inferno: Semmi: Exactly what it sounds like. There has been a crowd of upper-tier guilds fighting over the same scraps in Colonial for a few years now.

/Inferno: Jun Li: Right, there's actually a waiting listing on all the top Upper-tier raids that aren't instances.

/Inferno: Semmi: There's a forum for the New World, but since Salamander is the first Guild to advance, there aren't any details yet.

/Inferno: Jun Li: Salamander's policy is not to give out information. So we'll have to wait until another guild advances.

/Inferno: Semmi: I do know one thing, the recommended level for entry is 100.

/Inferno: Jun Li: That's the level cap for Upper Tier guilds.

/Inferno: Ronnie: Anyone here close to that?

Pon, Sharl, Wind, and Nix all raised their hands.

/Inferno: Pon: You're that far noob?

/Inferno: Nix: Fraid so. Our mission hasn't changed. We are going to destroy the Artifact on the 12th floor of Mermaid City. After that, who knows?

/Inferno: Ronnie: I have a theory.

/Inferno: Sharl: Don't start sis.

/Inferno: Nix: Go ahead, Ronnie.

Ronnie sat on the bar, giving Nix a smile when he slid a pint to her. ”Okay. I think that Aquarions and humans are highly compatible. We were never meant to be enemies but actually allies that live and fight together.”

Nix kept his face expressionless. ”Please continue.”

”Know why a human girl is needed to change the gender of Aquarion babies? It's because the two can interbreed. Think about it, how were there any Aquarion girls before the artifact?” Ronnie took a long drink from her pint, a smile pulling at the corners of her mouth.

Milat frowned at her. ”We are friends yes. Our two peoples cannot reproduce.”

”I'm not sure that is correct Milat.” Fajii's soft voice carried everywhere in the Inn.

Mina stared at her friend. ”Are you saying?”

Fajii nodded.

Nix felt his stomach flip-flop as he listened to the conversation. ”Wait...What are you saying?”

Mina took over the conversation. ”Aquarion females have an inherent protection around their eggs. It's impossible for one of us to accidentally become pregnant. We have to allow it or fertilization will not occur.”

Fajii smiled at Nix, ”when Nix and I have exchanged pointers in the past, I became aware that not only was it possible but also quite probable.”

Ronnie whistled softly. ”So you aren't pregnant, but only because you didn't remove the protection?”

Fajii continued to watch Nix while she spoke. ”I believe that to be the case.”

”Fajii is right, the potential is there.” An Aquarion female named Yuna spoke from the back of the room.

Ronnie grinned happily, her theories were never right. ”Nix... You dog!”

Nix felt his face turning red as he shook his head, ”I've definitely never exchanged pointers with any Aquarion other than Fajii.”

”Yuna is my girlfriend.” The words caused everyone to pause. A relatively new Scorched Earth Mage named Tyrant spoke up. He moved beside the Aquarion and squeezed her hand. ”That's the way it is.”

Mina's pale face was a picture of shock. ”Yuna?”

Yuna nodded in agreement. ”We are good together.”

/Inferno: Mina: All females come at once to the Kindled Spirit. I would appreciate if all males would leave now.

”Huh?” Nix found himself pushed towards the door along with the rest of the men. ”Hey! I should be in on this!”

A few minutes later, Nix was sitting on the docks with Milat and Wind. They talked amongst themselves, mostly about the raid but occasionally their eyes would stray to the Inn. After nearly an hour, the door opened and the females started to leave. Mina, Jun Li, and Semmi walked toward them.

Semmi patted Nix on the back. ”Well... You may have been the historic first, but you definitely aren't the only.”

Mina sat down next to Nix, her face showing confusion. ”Seventeen Aquarion women have human lovers.”

Semmi nudged Mina with her elbow. ”Tell them the rest.”

”Three of the couples have agreed to try and conceive.” Mina frowned at Nix, somehow this was his fault. ”You started this Nix!”
