1054 Trade Center
Klaus spoke with the young man for a while, and before they knew it, an hour went by.
“They are done.” The young man said with a smile when he saw people walking out from the place behind him.
Just when Klaus was about to speak, his mouth opened wide. The large arena behind them floated into the air and started to shrink before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
‘A treasure!’ He exclaimed internally.
He was not the only one whose attention was drawn to this, Grey and Reynolds also turned to look at it in awe, Void’s eyes glowed, but he didn’t make a move. There were people here who were standing than he was, if he dared to try to snatch their treasure, then he would be courting death.
They stayed in the same spot, and when others from the Asterope and the other Faction came closer, they didn’t spare them a glance.
Alice noticed them early and walked over.
“Alice, I can see you’re doing well.” Grey said with a smile.
“It’s nice to see you too, Grey.” Alice hugged him before turning to Klaus and Reynolds.
Void who was previously sitting on Grey’s head vanished and appeared in Alice’s arms.
“Void, it’s been a while.” She chuckled.
Void preferred it when she carried him rather than being with Grey.
Grey didn’t say anything about Void ditching him for Alice, he was already used to it. For some reason, he noticed that Void seemed to like it when he was carried by girls more.
“Your essence seems to be unstable.” Grey said while giving Alice a deep look.
“I overexerted myself in the competition just now, I’ll be fine once I get some rest.” Alice replied, a little shocked.
One of the Elders had also told her this after her battle some time ago, but that was a figure in the Elemental Sovereign Plane, the fact that Grey noticed it was out of her expectations.
Just as they were still talking, the Wind Elementalist Alice was previously fighting against walked over.
“Planning your revenge with some weaklings?” The Wind Elementalist asked arrogantly.
He defeated Alice in the battle and even managed to injure her, she was fortunate and managed to escape with her life. Of course, he wasn’t unscathed, but his condition was far better than hers.
“You are?” Klaus raised a brow.
“I’m K…”
“I don’t care who you are, now get lost.” Klaus scolded, not even giving the Wind Elementalist to introduce himself.
Alice and the others burst out laughing, even some of the members of the Asterope Faction laughed when they saw this.
The face of the Wind Elementalist changed when he heard this. He wanted to spoil Alice’s mood since he saw her laughing with her friends after he beat her, but who would’ve thought that Klaus would humiliate him?
“Hmph!” He snorted and left.
pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com Staying here would only bring more humiliation, since the competition was over, there was no need in trying to provoke those from the Asterope Faction.
“Hey, you said revenge, why would she want to take revenge against you?” Grey asked with a thoughtful expression.
The Wind Elementalist paused and turned to look at Grey, “I beat her up, that’s why.”
His voice was loud and arrogant. They won the sparring contest, so they had the right to be proud.
“Oh okay. You can go now.” Grey didn’t bother with him anymore.
He thought it was something serious, but since it was a competition, it was normal for him to beat Alice if he was stronger.
The young man paused, he didn’t expect they wouldn’t retaliate. With a shake of his head, he threw a disdainful look at them, and after muttering to himself, he left.
Grey focused on Alice and they continued speaking as they left.
“Who has that treasure?” Klaus couldn’t help himself, he wanted to know who had the arena.
“The arena?” Alice asked.
Klaus nodded, Grey and Reynolds also showed some interest in it.
“It’s the Faction Leader.” Alice replied after seeing them stare at her.
When she said this, she could see the disappointment in their eyes. Klaus even muttered ‘a shame’.
She couldn’t help but laugh. It can’t be that these guys were thinking of stealing it. Grey might not have such thoughts, and Reynolds might find it interesting, but Klaus and Void were different, Klaus liked things like this. One thing about the treasure was that it could take on different shapes, even a house. If Klaus had something like this, he would show it off to the world.
“We should go back to the city.” She suggested.
….
“You all have been having a great time.” Klaus said, his tone sounding like someone who was complaining.
Alice had heard of how he was locked up in the Moonlight Faction from Grey, so she knew why he was aggrieved.
They continued speaking for a while before Alice suggested they went on a trip. It had been a while since they all traveled together. They knew that after this gathering, it might take a long time before they see each other again, so they wanted to take advantage of this.
The others agreed readily and after Alice reported to the Faction, she came back and they left the city that night.
According to Alice, there was an interesting place close to the edge of the region.
This place was connected to a small world, and it was open to everyone. There were trades that went on there and it can be chaotic at times.
….
A week later.
The group appeared in front of a busy town. They saw almost Planes of Elementalists, except for Elemental Sovereigns, they even saw Elemental Venerables occasionally flashing past.
“This place must have a lot of things.” Grey commented.
“It’s a trade center, you can get all kinds of stuff there.” Alice said.
Only now did the others understand why it was so occupied. With a trade center that was connected to a small world, it was bound to attract people.
