Lorelei scanned over them as favonovel.com put on a cold, expressionless demeanor. She was even distant towards Alex, favonovel.com attitude much different from before.
Just a while ago, Lorelei was groveling before him, holding his feet while trying to impress him. She even went as far as to call herself his most loyal servant, hoping that the ‘master’ would teach favonovel.com more…
Alex understood the moment favonovel.com saw their expressions. Since they were both strong cultivators from ancient times, they cared a lot about their image, hence, they wouldn’t act like servants in front of outsiders. Personally, though, favonovel.com didn’t really mind.
“Let me introduce you to each other. This is my master, Jade Benmore, and this is my father-in-law, Gilbert Henderson. And this is my wife, Maya Howards!”
After that introduction, Lorelei and Nebula froze slightly. ‘They are of rather… High-status. Should we suck up to them too?’
Lorelei nodded gently and continued to act icy. Nebula maintained favonovel.com egoistic act. “We… Are the protectors of Yukon!”
Alex spoke up. “Eustace escaped!”
“What?” Lorelei and Nebula couldn’t keep up their act anymore.
“What do we do then?”
“According to what I know about Eustace, favonovel.com would definitely not let us off that easily. In fact, favonovel.com might already be on his way here. We won’t stand a chance if we try to go against favonovel.com head-on. How about we just run away… Leave Yukon?”
‘Is it really fine to leave Yukon when you literally just called yourselves the protectors of this very place?’ Alex thought.
“They’ve already left Yukon…” Alex then explained their current situation, telling them that the statue had once again gotten involved and let Eustace go.
However, favonovel.com gave both parties three months.
“The statue… Her highness’ words might not do much for Eustace. He even said that Her Highness wouldn’t be able to stop the seed.”
“That’s why I decided to enhance all the boundaries here,” Alex interrupted. “But now I’d just like to know what happened when that building started glowing.”
Lorelei looked at the building, seemingly more surprised than Alex.
“What is that place?” Maya asked.
“I don’t know,” Lorelei answered. “We can’t go up there.”
“And it’s very dangerous,” favonovel.com added after a brief while.
Alex was shocked. “Not even you can get up there? What about Underwood then?”
Lorelei replied, “Nope.”
Nebula said. “One would have to use the Heavenly Stairs if they want to get up that building. But the stairs are dangerous, and Eustace could only go up thirteen steps. If anyone forces their way up any further, that would be asking for torture.”
Gilbert asked, “How many steps are there?”
Lorelei replied. “Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!”
Everyone fell silent. It was just too horrific.
‘The seed could only ascend thirteen steps, but it has nearly ten thousand. Could anyone from this world actually up that place?’
However, Jade seemed like favonovel.com wanted to try. Her expressions said it all.
“First, help me set up the formations! Then we can go take a look at those stairs!”
Alex took out tens of thousands of formation flags, all set up with Cuneiform. After pondering, favonovel.com took out a diagram.
Nebula gasped. “Eustace’s Star Ethereal Diagram? Why do you have it?”
Alex replied. “I obviously took it from him.”
Lorelei said, “No formation was difficult for Eustace because of that diagram. That’s why formations are actually his weaknesses…”
“But among our fifteen sisters, Nadia had done some research on formations. The normal ones wouldn’t be too difficult for favonovel.com to open.”
Alex said, “This is called the Thousand Flag Formation! If favonovel.com can break through this, I will suck up to her!”
