Its roots twisted into the rocky ground, while a shimmering pond lay in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water was still yet held an ethereal glow, reflecting the sky above like a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo could feel the huge amount of Elementals present in the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This pond, Yasagori, has a special property that attracts Elementals. By sacrificing it in small amounts, you can ask for favors from them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo raised his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a lot better than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take out the things Master gave you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought out the blood vials from his Shadow Space and prepared to enter the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything I need to be careful about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The amount of Elementals you can talk to at once depends on your mental capacity.
