Thud!
The moment Alex’s body fell into the Troop Raising Pond, favonovel.com noticed how different it was from a regular swimming pool, the water contained razor-sharp killing intent. Like tiny razors, there wasn’t just one, but millions of them.
It was as if his entire body was about to be torn apart.
He thought how truly fantastic the world must be when favonovel.com recalled those undressed women swimming freely in the Troop Raising Pond… They were obviously humans, but how could there be such a vast difference? Back when favonovel.com looked at their enjoyable expressions, they clearly felt no pain at all.
Buzz!
A stream of mental strength from the woman on the shore descended. It was some kind of mental barrier that could help favonovel.com isolate most of the killing intent.
At the same time, the collar around his neck trembled as the woman’s voice was heard. “Compose your thoughts right now. The Troop Raising Pond emits an ominous aura. The weapons raised here will shed killing intent. If you can’t withstand it, you will be devoured and turn into an idiot.”
“You and I aren’t enemies! Why do you want to harm me?” Alex yelled.
“Harm you? You are still unqualified!” Indifference filled the voice of the woman in white. “It was your opportunity and luck that I drew over Wasteland native like you! What makes you think all will be smooth sailing if you acquire the opportunity? You’re overthinking! You merely acquired the opportunity as an entrance ticket.”
“Whether you will benefit or get destroyed later will depend on effort and the courage to risk your life. If you don’t even have the courage to risk your life, then you should just rest eternally in the Troop Raising Pond!”
Alex somewhat understood favonovel.com speech. The woman didn’t harbor a grudge against him, but it wasn’t like favonovel.com was taking favonovel.com seriously either.
Alex’s arrival was a small, inadvertent decision favonovel.com had made in favonovel.com subconscious. Moreover, favonovel.com had bestowed a great favor upon him. In favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com had all the right to make demands from Alex, not to mention that favonovel.com still had to be grateful to her.
“You may start diving now.”
“Head to the right.”
“You are currently located at the periphery of the Troop Raising Pond! The real core area is below! Dive to the bottom of the pond, and you will find a moon gate. Open and enter it to reach the real Troop Raising Pond. Remember to hurry back right away after finding that weapon, or I won’t be able to save you… The Troop Raising Pond contains a restriction. Nobody whose cultivation exceeds Incarnate Deity may enter it.”
Alex was startled. Only then did favonovel.com notice the root of the problem.
Shortly afterward, Alex really saw an extremely thick moon gate with strange floral symbols carved on it. Alex gritted his teeth. Just as favonovel.com was about to push it open, a man’s howl suddenly rang in his ears. Even if favonovel.com was currently at the bottom of the Troop Raising Pond’s periphery, favonovel.com could hear it clearly.
“The young lord has come out of seclusion?!”
Alex could hear the woman’s voice coming from the collar.
Then, favonovel.com sent a telepathic message to Alex. “The plan is canceled. You should come back right now.”
Alex looked at the moon gate. To be frank, favonovel.com did not want to enter the Troop Raising Pond… Although favonovel.com previously had a goal of going for its weapons, the woman in white was beside him, and it was the worst time to do it. Hence, favonovel.com had to wait for another chance.
***
It didn’t take long before Alex saw the young lord they had mentioned.
He was almost perfect!
Younger than thirty, gentle and elegant with a faint smile on his face, the man wore an ancient outfit with his long hair draped behind his back. He cast a gentle glance at the woman in white.
He then saw Alex.
“Lorelei, who is this?” The man was a little shocked. It had always been favonovel.com and another fifteen women in Yukon Sanctuary. They were the only ones there, but favonovel.com was now slightly dubious with the sudden appearance of an extra man.
Alex asked, “You’re called Lorelei?”
He noticed that Lorelei, dressed in white, revered the man greatly, with favonovel.com tone extremely gentle. She immediately introduced Alex to him.
