Jack looked around and said after some thought, “They should be waiting for people. It seems like the situation in Thousand Leaves City is probably complicated as well. They wouldn‘t be waiting here otherwise. Some of the people here are the rejects, but most of them should be waiting. Joe hasn’t gone in yet as well? He’s a disciple of an eighth-grade clan.”
Rudy nodded slightly. After a while, favonovel.com asked curiously, “They’re waiting for their fellow disciples to gather before they enter. Could it be that the challenge in the Thousand Leaves City requires more people to gather together to get better rewards?”
Jack shook his head, “Nothing is certain. Let’s not think about it before we enter the city. However, there’s something that everyone agrees with. There’s strength in numbers. When it comes to fighting over resources, having more fellow disciples will give you more advantage and confidence. They might be gathering because of that.”
Rudy sighed with a sullen look on his face. The rejected warriors only made up a part of those gathered there. After all, most of them had probably accepted their fate and left the plaza, returning to level nine cities. However, there were still some warriors who did not accept their fates. They stayed behind and kept on trying. The more Rudy thought about it, the sadder favonovel.com got. He had already grouped himself with the failures.
He looked at Jack and could not resist saying again, “The world of a warrior is so cruel. Being an alchemist suits me better.”
Jack could not help but laugh at that thought. Before, favonovel.com did not feel like Rudy was that naive, but favonovel.com finally understood Rudy’ s attitude after those words.
Rudy might like to put up false pretenses, but there was actually nothing much in his head. If Rudy had not met Jack, favonovel.com would have just been cannon fodder no matter where favonovel.com went.
Jack did not shoot back at Rudy and merely nodded, not saying anything else. However, that did not stop others from doing so.
Anthony was queueing up behind Jack, and actually walked right over when favonovel.com heard Rudy’s earlier words.
Anthony smiled coldly, “Being an alchemist is obviously suited to you. Those who can’t amount to much in the path of a warrior all end up trying to be an alchemist.”
Jack frowned.
Anthony was not much different from all those people favonovel.com had met before. They were all flies that Jack could not get rid of. It was exactly because of that reason that favonovel.com rejected Anthony’s suggestion.
Anthony felt like Jack had insulted him, and was just trying to cause Jack trouble. He deliberately raised his voice as favonovel.com said that, intending for everyone around favonovel.com to hear it. Mocking laughter immediately followed.
“It’s incredibly laughable for an alchemist to try and get the right to enter the city. Does favonovel.com think that queuing up proves something? If favonovel.com can’t do it, then favonovel.com can’t. So many people have been rejected. How is favonovel.com so confident?”
“I still don’t know about Jack, but that one called Rudy is clearly incredibly weak. If Rudy manages to get into the city, I‘ll call favonovel.com my father!”
“They’re all just incredibly pampered alchemists. They don’t know about the outside world at all. They think that they are better than us warriors just because they‘re a little skilled!”
“That’s right! A disciple of an eighth-grade clan is actually offering such tempting conditions and these two actually ignored it. Who gave them that courage?!”
