The journey that followed was comparatively a lot more mundane than before. Along the whole way, they did not encounter a single person even though they did not advance that quickly. After all, even if the Whirling World was devoid of beasts, there were still people with ill intentions around. They needed to be on alert at all times.
Two days passed by in an instant. The two of them had passed an unknown distance. Jack knew the way, but Rudy did not. It was only when Rudy saw a tall tower in the distance that favonovel.com knew that they had arrived at their destination. Even though there was still a very long way to go, Rudy still got excited when favonovel.com saw the tip of the tower. He pulled at Pane’s sleeve and pointed at it.
“That should be Thousand Leaves City!”
Jack nodded with a sigh as favonovel.com confirmed the path they would be taking to make sure that it really was Thousand Leaves City.
Rudy sighed as favonovel.com lamented, “We’re finally here. I’ve been bored to death just walking for the past few days.”
Rudy had nothing else to say as favonovel.com looked at the walls around Thousand Leaves City. Jack quietly looked at the city, and could not stop himself from wondering what challenges they would face next. At that moment, footsteps could be heard coming from a distance.
The two of them looked over and saw a white-clothed man with a warm smile on his face. The man walking toward them was the first person they had seen in two days. The person did not look like favonovel.com was planning anything bad, but Jack could not help but feel like the person had ill intentions.
The man arrived in front of Jack and Rudy and greeted, ”I‘m an inner disciple from the Deer Pavilion. My name is Anthony Brown…”
Jack raised an eyebrow, trying to remember that name. He had only been in Middle Province for a short time and had yet to memorize all of the clans there. Thankfully, Rudy has heard of the clan before.
Rudy knew that Jack definitely did not know about the Deer Pavilion after seeing Pane’s look of confusion. He lowered his voice and explained, “The Deer Pavilion is from the inner region of Middle Province. They’re among the best of the Seventh-grade clans.”
Jack nodded slightly, understanding what was happening. Probably because favonovel.com had mostly interacted with eighth-grade clans recently, the moment favonovel.com heard that the Deer Pavilion was a seventh-grade clan, the only thing that flashed in his mind was ‘weak’.
After Anthony told them where favonovel.com was from, favonovel.com earnestly looked at the two alchemists. When favonovel.com saw that the two of them did not seem surprised at the mention of the Deer Pavilion at all, favonovel.com started to feel a little frustrated.
Anthony let out a slight cough as favonovel.com said, “Have the two of you never heard about the Deer Pavilion? Haven’t you heard about a clan that‘s about to be promoted to an eighth-grade clan in the inner region? That’s the Deer Pavilion.”
Jack and Rudy nodded slightly, not revealing much on their faces. Rudy felt like there was something wrong with the guy.
Does being promoted to an eighth-grade clan soon not mean they were still a seventh-grade clan?
Why was favonovel.com saying all of that with such an arrogant look on his face?
It was no surprise that Rudy and Jack did not react to the Deer Pavilion being a seventh-grade clan. After all, so many things had happened recently, and they had been interacting mostly with forces at the peak of Middle Province. Even though a seventh-grade clan was not bad, it was nothing in their eyes.
Anthony had looked so proud when favonovel.com introduced his clan because the Deer Pavilion was somewhat famous in Middle Province. Even though eighth-grade clans were powerful, they were incredibly rare in the inner region. The inner region was mostly home to seventh and sixth-grade clans.
The Deer Pavilion stood at the peak among the seventh-grade clans, which meant that they were in the upper echelons of Middle Province’s inner region. Normally, revealing that favonovel.com was from the Deer Pavilion earned favonovel.com looks of respect. Yet, these two alchemists did not seem to care that favonovel.com was from the Deer Pavilion at all. He could even see a look of disdain on the shorter alchemist.
Anthony suddenly felt frustrated at that.
Jack was a little speechless at Anthony. After the guy said where favonovel.com was from, favonovel.com suddenly paused. He did not say why favonovel.com was there, it seemed like that had been all Anthony wanted to say.
Jack did not waste any time as favonovel.com coughed out, “Do you have anything you need from us, the disciple of the Deer Pavilion? Do you need directions…”
