\'Alright hold up, multiple information in need of immediate digestion\'

That was Hal\'s first thought when he saw the Silver moon sect head sitting in the throne-like chair.

And he was right.

First off, there was the arrival of Leona\'s sister, the very nature of which was eyebrow-raising.

The black hole she had come out of was giving off Ordinance vibes and that was because it had been made possible with the Ordinance of void.

The Ordinance of void which is an Elemental Ordinance is derivative of the Abstract Ordinance of space which could perform all the tricks void ordinance could and then some.

Anyway, while its uses would always be limited to the opening of portals for quick transportation through stretches of spaces no matter how strong or how high in comprehension the wielder got, void ordinance was definitely no slouch.

For one, Hal could now realize why the circles Leona had used thus far had not been powered by Astral energy which was that they were powered by her sister\'s void ordinance and could most likely only be used by members of their immediate family.

But such elaborate use, Hal wondered if simply comprehensive the Ordinance of void had granted her such advantages,

\'Ordinance Hanessing\' Grimoire piped. 

\'She has attained Ordinance harnessing and with a foundation with the drawing of Runes, it is highly possible that she achieves such feats. But she is still fairly young and harnessing is only enough for a small scale so her range of such use of her Ordinance can not surpass the Sect\'s territories\'

Which meant her special teleportation circles were only active in the Silver moon sect 

Hal agreed with Grimoire\'s assessments with a mental nod before he looked over at Corrina\'s form once again and noted that maturity that reminded him so much of Tanya. 

They were most likely in the same age range.

With that information appropriately digested, Hal\'s eyes moved over to the main woman in the room.

The one who would determine whether his mission would be successful or be a failure.

The sect head was beautiful. Just like her daughters and she had that maturity that reminded Hal of Emily and could very well serve to rev up his perverted sexual engines all the more.

\'Careful\' Grimoire cautioned him slightly.

\'With my thoughts?\' Hal asked with skepticism. \'I thought you were protecting me\' he said to the Artifact with a mentally raised brow.

When Tanya of the level of foresight protecting the Silver moon sect from getting caught off guard by a robbery attempt, Hal had been quick to think up a plan. Aided along by Grimoire, the ever surprisingly (especially when not expected to be) useful Artifact.

No human can see the future. So-called foreseeing is not actually possible even when \'blessed\' by the gods.

The only one who can ever see the future and claim to be all-knowing (Even though they are actually not) would be someone who had achieved the Paragon level of comprehension in the Abstract Ordinance of destiny.

So unless the Sect head of the Silver moon sect was a goddess who had achieved paragon level of comprehension in the Abstract Ordinance of Destiny (which is impossible for any human), then there was no way she could see the future.

Not without help.

So somewhere in this sect, there was an Artifact similar to the flame crystal that Hal had which allowed not just the sect head but everyone in the silver moon sect to tap into its powers and \'foresee\' the future of those who came in for a consultation.

Hal had joked that it would be ironic if it was a crystal ball but Grimoire had taken it seriously by saying, 

\'It could very well be\'

Anyway, since it was an Artifact, Grimoire could shield Hal from its potent but passive abilities even with the sect head or anyone else in the sect channeling its abilities.

So focussing on him with her Silver and seemingly all-knowing eyes would not help the Silver moon sect head to \'foresee\' his future.

As such as long as it did not involve her sect, whose future she could foresee, Hal could go about plotting anything he wished.

So he felt his perverted thoughts should be safe but Grimoire reminded him that he should be careful having any such thoughts in regards to the Sect head.

Unfortunately, Hal could barely help himself. While her voluminous robes had her completely covered up, he was still sure there would be a lot of mouthwatering deliciousness underneath them which he would be more than happy and ready to enjoy if he got the chance to do so.

"You\'ve been busy" the sect head said and called Hal from his thoughts even though it had all taken barely a second.

He smiled lightly, 

"May I ask, in what way?" He asked.

The sect head gestured to Leona whose cheeks were pink as she already knew what her mother was referring to, 

"You haven\'t been here an hour and you\'ve already kissed and groped my daughter."

Corrina\'s eyes widened and she looked from her mother to Leona and then to Hal who she glared at.

Hal sensing the glare merely chuckled, 

"So what, that deserves the death penalty?" He asked obviously referring to the sect head\'s earlier \'Before I kill him\' statement.

The sect head\'s eyes widened comically, 

"Gods no. Why would I kill you when I don\'t hear my daughter complaining? I haven\'t ever interfered in their... Sex lives and I do not intend to start now" 

"You afford them that much freedom, what a great mother you are" Hal said with a smile but he truly was impressed.

The sect head scoffed, 

"Of course I afford them that much freedom. Just like I afford all members of my sect that much freedom. Affection is fleeting. It is bound to never last. Sexual pleasure is a want our body interprets as a need and once taken care of, only shame remains.

Our connection, however, the connection we all feel... The connection that preserves this sect. The connection that lasts for the rest of our lifetime."

"You mean the connection that keeps them tied to the sect. The connection that makes them want to be here rather than feel the true pleasures of intercourse only one man can truly proudly claim to be able to provide."

The sect head frowned as she felt Hal was being condescending to the cultures of their sect but that was not what he was doing. Quite the opposite in fact, 

"I know of such a connection. I admire it actually" he said.

\'Of course, I\'d rather it be a connection with me at the center and absolute focus of your attention and devotion... but all in due time, I guess\' 

The Sect head sighed while Leona looked down.

She felt her mother was underestimating the pleasure Hal could provide. She had only felt his touch and she was already feeling indecision on which she would choose... Hal or the sect she had been born and raised in.

Corrina was still glaring at Hal.

"Why are you here?" The sect head asked but Hal furrowed his brown as he said, 

"You know why"

The sect head rolled her eyes and it looked incredibly sexy to Hal as she said, 

"Of course I do. But like I said before, I would like for you to present your case. You know, before I put an end to your existence"

Hal took a deep breath and then said, 

"Alright then.

Apparently, there is something that helped the First Emperor rule the continent, and to keep it for a worthy Haron, he drew a map in the form of scattered clues. One of those clues, the next piece of the puzzle, is with you.

Most likely in your treasury.

And I will not leave Dreg Duchy until I have gotten my hands on it."
