1053 Everyone's Adventuring Except Me!
p
The Wind Elementalist was forced a few steps back, but he managed to shrug off the attack and once again charged at Alice.
…
While Alice and the Wind Elementalist were still facing off, three figures walked to the top of the mountain.
“She’s here.” Grey said while they were still ascending the mountain.
“How did you know?” Klaus asked curiously. He tried sensing, but he didn’t sense the aura of Alice, and the mountaintop was still a long way away.
“Remember this?” Grey flipped his palm and a wooden plaque appeared on his palm. It was the communication device he created the last time.
Originally, he had forgotten about this feature, but after they got to this place, he recalled it and used it.
Klaus and Reynolds showed a look of realization on their faces, they had also forgotten that Grey had this thing with him.
“That’s quite useful. Why don’t you make some for me?” Klaus asked with a smile.
“It’s too tiring, I can’t make more for now.” Grey shook his head.
He knew how long it took him to make this one. Although he already knew the method to create this thing, it wasn’t easy. It took a large toll on his spiritual energy. Whenever he makes it, he would be exhausted from the long work.
Klaus shook his head in disappointment, “Just remember to make one for me later. You can use that thing you use to send uncle Chris meals to send it to me.”
Grey thought about it for some time and nodded. With his current situation, he didn’t want to waste too much of his energy in case he was ambushed. He had a kill order on his head, and with the rewards that were offered, some humans wouldn’t mind killing him.
Humans might not be on good terms with the Gnomes, but it didn’t mean they wouldn’t do business together.
Before long, they appeared at the top of the mountain.
When they got there, they were stopped by two youths that were standing guard.
“Outsiders are not allowed to enter at the moment.” One of the youths said with a cold snort.
“Who says we’re outsiders?” Klaus snorted.
“You’re not wearing either uniform of both Factions, leave now, we won’t tell you again.” The other youth said with a cold expression.
Klaus was about to talk back when Grey placed his hand on his shoulder, “Our friend is part of the Asterope Faction, we only came to see her.”
“Oh, your friend is part of us. What’s her name?” One of the youths said, his voice wasn’t as cold as before.
“Who cares if she’s a member of your Faction? No one other than the people from the two Factions is allowed to enter.” The other youth said, his tone firm.
Klaus glanced at him coldly.
‘I’d like to beat him up.’ He thought to himself, but he didn’t speak.
Grey didn’t even spare the youth a glance, he was only focused on the member of the Asterope Faction.
“Her name’s Alice, she has a Seelie.” He replied.
“You’re friends with Alice?” The youth asked, a little surprised.
“Yes.” Grey nodded with a smile.
“I’m sorry, but according to the rules, others are not allowed inside. Luckily, the sparring contest is almost over. She will be out soon.” The youth said.
In the Asterope Faction, almost every single person knew Alice. Having a Seelie made her unique. Not just the Seelie, but when she fought against someone on the same stage as herself, without the help of the Seelie, she was still able to completely dominate her opponent.
Originally, some people felt dissatisfied thinking that she was getting special treatments because of her Seelie, only after they tested her strength did they know that she was not just special because of her Seelie, she was naturally a genius.
She was also known for her crazy speed in advancing and training.
While the youth thought about these, he couldn’t help but take a glance at Grey and the others. When he sensed that other than Reynolds, the others were already in the Late stages of the Sage Plane he couldn’t help but shake his head. Geniuses always befriend geniuses.
He was currently almost thirty and only broke through to the Fifth stage of the Sage Plane not long ago, but Grey and the others didn’t seem to be over twenty-five, but they were already in the Late stages. He looked at Reynolds and felt that he shouldn’t take him for granted as well. Even though he was in the Sixth stage, there might be something special about him.
Grey nodded, he knew Factions didn’t allow outsiders to watch them when they were sparring, especially against a rival.
He motioned to the others and they went to the side. Klaus soon started to speak with the young man from the Asterope Faction. The reason he didn’t speak at first was due to the fact that he was annoyed with the tone that they spoke to him, after finding out that he was someone from Alice’s Faction, he spoke with him, asking him how Alice was doing in the Faction.
The young man spoke with him, telling him all about Alice’s time in the Faction. Although she rarely appeared and only focused on training, she was one of the most outstanding members in the younger generation. She had been advancing so quickly that the Faction Leader had even started to pay close attention to her.
She had also completed a series of difficult missions as well.
‘Everyone’s going out for missions, except for me.’ Klaus was once again depressed when he heard that Alice had gone out a few times.
Even though he wasn’t told the details of the missions, he was certain that she would’ve at least experienced an amazing adventure just like Grey and Reynolds.
