At the end of the day, Quinlan Town’s strength couldn’t possibly compare to Demon Seal Alliance’s. If the latter were to discover the ancient ruins, they would undoubtedly be left out in the cold.
But without seeking help from them, it was simply impossible for Keegan to take revenge on Jared with Quinlan Town’s strength.
For a moment, he found himself caught between a rock and a hard place.
After much contemplation, Keegan finally ordered, “Go and contact Demon Seal Alliance. For now, let’s cease the search for the entrance to the ancient ruins!”
“If the unusual celestial phenomenon a while ago was indeed due to the ancient ruins or the appearance of experts from another realm, Mr. Keegan, it would be impossible to keep Quinlan Town’s secret under wraps,” Ronald argued, still hoping to dissuade Keegan from his course of action.
“Just do as I said. What’s with all the unnecessary chatter? Have Demon Seal Alliance send some experts over. Quinlan Town is a member of it, so they wouldn’t just leave us to sink or swim!” Keegan bellowed, somewhat infuriated.
Seeing that, Ronald had no choice but to turn around and leave helplessly.
Keegan’s eyes blazed with fury. I’ll have vengeance for my son’s death!
At Castenada Town, Jared had successfully treated Owen to full recovery after having obtained all of Castenada Town’s resources.
During that time, Judith had also gradually recovered.
On top of that, she had found the whereabouts of Myocyte Grass.
“I can’t thank you enough, Mr. Chance. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be dead now!”
After Owen had recovered, he was deeply grateful toward Jared.
“Mr. Chance, we have nothing with which to repay your great kindness. All of Castenada Town’s resources are here, so we have nothing more to offer you as a reward. But rest assured that if I return to Allardland and truly end up with Cedric, I will undoubtedly repay you!”
Scarlette vowed, looking at Jared thankfully.
At that point, Castenada Town had nothing left to offer Jared in gratitude. She could only wait until she returned to Allardland. Once she truly became the princess consort of Allardland, she would then be able to repay him.
“You both don’t have to be so formal with me. It was nothing to me. Besides, I’ve also made use
of quite a bit of Castenada Town’s resources. Consider that my reward!” Jared admitted with a touch of embarrassment.
In truth, he had utilized a considerable amount of Castenada Town’s resources to replenish himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to treat Owen.
His intense battle with Skylar had indeed drained him significantly, so he needed to recuperate.
“Mr. Chance, I’ve learned of the whereabouts of Myocyte Grass. Some say it can be found on Mount Gonagles!” Judith said to Jared.
“Mount Gonagles?” Jared was slightly taken aback. Then, he continued, “If so, we can go to Mount Gonagles and pick some. As long as we have that mystical herb, I can heal you fully.”
“Great! I’ll go with you to Mount Gonagles to pick some Myocyte Grass right now, Mr. Chance!” Judith exclaimed with excitement written all over her face.
“No, you can’t go!” Owen quickly interjected at that moment.
“What’s wrong, Father?” Judith asked, looking at her father in puzzlement.
“Mount Gonagles has been rather unsettled recently. Some time ago, it witnessed an
unusual celestial phenomenon, with spiritual light flashing. Some people even claimed to have heard unusual sounds. I’m afraid that the legend might be true,” Owen replied.
“Legend? What legend?”
Judith wore an expression of bewilderment.
Jared’s interest was also piqued in an instant. He perked up his ears and listened attentively, eager to hear what the legend was all about.
“Legend has it that another realm exists in the region of Mount Gonagles, in which a multitude of experts with formidable strength resides. The reason we have so few experts in the eastern region is also attributed to the fact that they’ve all been accepted into that realm. Nonetheless, all of that is merely a rumor that remains unattested. But not too long ago, an unusual celestial phenomenon took place on Mount Gonagles, bringing to mind that legend. So, it would be best for you both to refrain from going to Mount Gonagles, lest you run into any real danger!” Owen warned.
