A small bottle filled with black liquid appeared in Evan's hand.
Seeing the bottle of black liquid, Evan felt he saw this thing somewhere before.
Suddenly he remembered the bottle he got from Carlos's storage ring and immediately threw it inside the storage ring again.
It was the same liquid that he found in Carlos's ring, and gave Valery to see if she can find what this liquid was.
Evan threw it inside the storage ring again, because he still remembered the horrible smell of this liquid when he opened the cork of the bottle at that time.
He has to leave his room that day because of the horrible smell of this black liquid.
"Just what the hell is this liquid that even Layla has one of its bottles" Evan muttered with a frown on his face.
Carlos was also from the dark guild just like Lyala so he can guess that this liquid is definitely related to the dark guild.
"If shadow Layla still has the memories of the original Layla, I can ask her what is this thing," Evan said and decided to ask her after fully checking the storage ring.
When he once again looked in the storage ring he did not find any strange thing again.
There was no armour inside the storage ring since he remembered Layal was wearing completely destroyed armour when he killed her.
"She must have used that armour to protect herself from the tornadoes," Evan said and sighed.
If he got an armour it would have been more useful to him. Soon he was done looking at everything inside the ring.
"Well considering she was an A rank hunter it is normal she will just have these types of cores," Evan said while looking at the cores in front of him.
There were ten B rank, four B+ rank and one A rank core in front of him.
He wasn't surprised after seeing these cores because it is quite easy for an A rank hunter to gather B rank cores.
Evan put away those cores inside his shadow storage without any shame.
After putting them away he nodded his head and summoned shadow Layla to get answers of some questions that were bothering him.
"Master," shadow Layla appeared before him and bowed her head.
"Do you remember what your name is?" Evan asked directly hoping she will have memories of the original Layla.
"You didn't give me any name, master" shadow Layla answered sounding confused by his question.
'Doesn't she have memories of the original Layla?' Evan frowned after hearing her. He still remember how she told him the direction of Aquaville City yesterday which would have been impossible if she doesn't have original Layla's memories.
"Don't you remember what was your name before you died?" Evan once again asked looking at her.
"I remember that name, but I don't want to use that anymore, I want a new name from Master," shadow Layla said sounding quite excited about the notion of getting a new name.
Evan was speechless when he heard what she just said, but at the same time, he confirmed one thing.
'She still has memories of the original Layla' Evan thought and a smile appeared on his face.
Since she knows what was her name before she died then its means she still has memories of the original Layla.
'But if she really has memories of the original Layla then' Evan suddenly thought about something and looked at shadow Layla with narrowed eyes.
"Since you remember what was your name before you died, then you must know I was the one who killed you, so why are you listing my commands?" Evan asked while looking at her intently.
If he was in her place and knew he has to listen to the order of someone who killed him, he would have plunged a knife into his chest the moment he went to sleep.
He was afraid that she will do the same and will try to harm him so he has to confirm that there is no danger in keeping these shadow undeads with him.
"What are you talking about master, you didn't kill me, instead you used your power to give me this new body which is thousands of times better than my previous one. It is my honour to serve you, and I want to do it for eternity" shadow Layla said while kneeling in front of him.
Evan looked at her with a stunned look not understanding what this airhead was saying.
But when he thought about what she said he found what she just said was true.
'This body is really thousands of times better than her previous one, since now she is basically an immortal. Even if she is completely destroyed, I can summon her again using mana' Evan thought and looked at shadow Layla again.
The more he talked to her the more he started to doubt whether she is an undead or not.
'I think there is still something that I don't know about shadow resurrection' Evan sighed not knowing if this was a good thing or not for her to act like this.
"Well, it is not like it is a bad thing, I will honestly prefer someone who can use his mind instead of acting like just a mindless puppet" Evan muttered and stopped thinking about it for now.
He also noticed that even though the shadow hippo and his other shadow undead can't talk like Layla, they also don't behave like mindless puppets.
'I think shadow undead are the exact copy of the person from whom they are created, shadow hippo and others can't talk because they were unable to speak even when they were alive' Evan thought and focused on Layla once again.
"You don't need to kneel just stand up already" Evan said feeling uncomfortable because of the devotee-like gaze of shadow Layla.
Looking at her devotee-like expressions he does not doubt that, if he left her alone she will create a cult where all the shadow undead will gather to pray from a statue that looks similar to him.
Hearing Evan she stood up but her expression did not change.
Evan ignored her expression and asked an important question, "Can you still increase your rank?"
