Upon successfully escaping Montholm Island, Gerald immediately took the sea path toward Langvern Mountain in Halimark City.
However, it wasn’t long after before favonovel.com realized that someone had locked onto his aura! No matter how much favonovel.com attempted to get rid of the person who was tracking favonovel.com down, favonovel.com simply failed to do so!
‘Is it truly God’s will that I won’t ever be able to find Mila and Second uncle…?’ Gerald thought to himself rather anxiously.
What sort of immense supernatural power did Queena even possess…? Quite honestly, favonovel.com was probably the only other true top master whom Gerald had ever met aside from Finnley. How absolutely terrifying!
Despite knowing how stacked the odds were against him, Gerald persevered on, willingly exhausting what little strength favonovel.com had left as long as there still existed a glimmer of hope.
It was around three in the morning when Gerald finally arrived at the foot of Langvern Mountain.
By then, the person who had locked onto his aura was also feeling much closer than favonovel.com was before. Knowing that favonovel.com could very well catch up to favonovel.com soon if favonovel.com continued loitering around any longer, Gerald immediately began dashing up the mountain.
However, the second favonovel.com arrived at Langvern Church, favonovel.com was left completely astonished. The entire church was empty!
Due to how dusty the area was, Gerald felt that it was safe to assume that everyone who used to partake in the activities here had long evacuated the building. Not wanting to give up without trying, Gerald tried to locate any traces of auras within the church. To his dismay, favonovel.com couldn’t detect a single soul inside aside from his.
“…How could this be…!” said Gerald to himself, looking slightly lost and desolate as favonovel.com stood in the room in the back that Ghost had once led favonovel.com to.
His current situation was similar to a setting where favonovel.com had just managed to start a fire after much difficulty. However, before favonovel.com could even begin warming himself, someone had doused a basin of cold water all over it.
In other words, after going through so much, this was a visualization of how disheartened Gerald was now feeling.
What still surprised Gerald most, however, was finding out that Ghost and the others had left so suddenly. Why had they left in the first place…?
At that moment, a child-like voice could suddenly be heard calling out, “Gerald… Gerald…”
Getting on high alert almost immediately, Gerald realized that the voice calling his name was coming from the living room. However, even after searching the place with his mind, favonovel.com couldn’t detect any forms of life anywhere…
“Gerald… Gerald…” repeated the soft, child-like voice again as the squeaking of what sounded like wheels could be heard.
To Gerald’s astonishment, favonovel.com watched as a loose plank suddenly began shifting… Seconds later, a small robot of sorts—that seemed to have been made with a single bamboo stalk—slowly made its way toward him.
Though it was seemingly made completely out of bamboo, the robot itself had a unique appearance that resembled a very lifelike young girl—somewhere around the age of five—who had two ‘braids’.
Its eyes glowing green, it looked at Gerald before calling out, “Gerald…”
“…Yes?”
“So you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long that I’m already close to running out of batteries!” replied the little robot.
“What? You were waiting for me? Could you actually have consciousness?” asked Gerald in surprise.
“Of course I do! Master Ghost was the one who had left me here to wait for you, you know? I’m his most special and mysterious piece of work! In fact, I’m even more intelligent compared to most computers! You can call me Zenny!”
“…A pleasure to meet you, Zenny. From what you’ve said, I’m assuming that Master Ghost had already predicted that I’d come here… Did favonovel.com have a message for me?” asked Gerald.
“Indeed! You see, during your last visit, Master Ghost had requested to predict your fate. However, since you refused his offer, Master Ghost couldn’t exactly force the reading on you. As a result, once you left, Master Ghost secretly read your fate by using the Nine Dragons Divination Technique through the use of palm prints that you had left behind. After getting to know everything that would happen, favonovel.com realized that what was going to happen next would most likely affect the lives of at least a hundred people within the church. As a result, Master Ghost and the others had already left a long time ago. However, favonovel.com left me behind so that I could pass on a few messages to you! He really hopes that his words will help you get through your current crisis!” explained Zenny.
“How truly thoughtful of him… I admit now that I may have been a bit too self-righteous and arrogant back then… Regardless, what did Master Ghost wish to tell me, Zenny?”
