He blended in with the crowd, scoping out the situation before deciding on anything. Naturally, Dragon Prince and the rest kept pace with him. They were cautious and concealed their identities. They were worried that the people would recognize who they were.And the plan worked. Nobody recognized them as they entered Aquanic’s base.Adrian was secretly admiring what he was seeing. “What a surprise. I thought this place would be completely run-down, but it seems to be pretty great,” he said while walking.Of course, he did not say that without valid reasons. There were all sorts of tall buildings in front of them. Although most of them were crude in nature, they were nothing short of spectacular.Many people were walking the streets. Most were low-leveled summoners and were consequently ugly. They exuded ominosity, and one could tell that the environment here was pretty bad.“We should find somewhere to settle down,” Adrian said to the group.Everyone glanced at each other after h

“Look at this place! It’s so lively!” Adrian seemed happy with the inn, looking at the smiling patrons.Meanwhile, the rest of the group was still nervous. They then looked around and realized there were many people in the inn. Everyone sat in groups, chatting away happily and unbothered by their arrival. They could finally relax now.Adrian waved to a server. “Over here, sir! We’d like to order!”“Coming!” a server called out.Adrian observed the inn. Although this place belonged to summoners, it was decorated similarly to a human inn. The rules of conduct were the same as well.A few seconds later, a summoner working as a waiter came by their table, looking happy to see them. “I’ve never seen you guys around here before. Is this your first time in Aquanic?”“Yes, it is,” Adrian said, “We heard many things about the Aquanic Tribe, so we thought we’d check it out.”“That’s great!” The waiter smiled.Compared to summoners in other places, the summoners here were less prejudiced

Seeing their cluelessness, Adrian felt helpless. Why in the world were his traveling companions like this?After lamenting the situation, he said, “Because there’s some business that’s beneficial for us there, of course.”“Business?”The group was still confused, but Adrian could not be bothered to explain right now. They could only follow his directive. Everyone silently bowed their heads and started on their food.After having their fill, the group headed toward East Mount Ground. They had to leave Aquanic’s city stronghold to reach East Mount Ground. The establishment was located on a mountain in the east outside the city and thus called as such.As they got closer to East Mount Ground, they noticed that there were fewer trees. The trees were replaced by fortifications for construction. Nobody was guarding the area. It looked barren as if it had been ages since anyone came here. Everyone was surprised by the sight.Dragon Prince asked, “This is strange. Where are the people? D

Clang!A clashing sound of metal rang out as the shadow and Adrian collided. A powerful shockwave was formed and spread out.Whoosh!Adrian was shocked by the attacker’s level of strength. It was on par with his own. He had not expected the person to be so powerful.‘Well, I guess there’s no need for him to go easy then!’ Adrian got ready to throw his second hit.But just as he was charging, the shadow stopped. “Are you a human?” it asked.Adrian was taken aback. He answered after a beat, “You’re human too?”He then felt a little foolish. Of course, only another human would ask him such a question. He felt silly to have asked such an unnecessary question.The shadow finally revealed itself to be a man. As he walked toward Adrian, he saw that it was a young man in his early 20s who looked like a scholarly individual. If not for the powerful attack earlier, Adrian would have assumed that he was just a regular man.“Who are you?” Adrian asked, not bothering to be polite.After a

Adrian fell silent.Vardala walked over and said, “Seems like you were deceived, sir. Come on, let’s get out of here.”“No.” Adrian refused, leaving everyone confused.Feeling doubtful, they asked, “What…”Adrian stared at them with a mysterious glint in his eyes. After a moment of thought, he asked the man, “Can we stay here for the time being?”“Of course, you can!” the man said, looking a little excited.From the man’s tone, it was clear that humans were welcomed here. It had been a long time since another human had arrived. There were only about 100 humans living here and they could barely fend for themselves when faced with danger. Now that outsiders were coming, these people could help them. Moreover, Adrian was powerful.The man then led Adrian’s group to the base. As they followed the man deeper, Adrian was surprised by what he saw. He never expected somewhere that looked so run-down from the outside to look like heaven on the inside.They first passed through a valley

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw a solemn-looking old man walking toward them. The locals did not dare to look right at the old man holding a long cane. Just one glance and it was clear that this man was chief of the valley.“Chief Haris!” Atticus quickly greeted the man with a smile. He then said, “These are some friends that I’ve just met. They’re looking for a place to stay, so I thought—”“No!” The old man rejected fiercely before Atticus could even finish.“But—” Atticus wanted to say more, but Haris did not give him a chance.Haris waved and said with finality, “We are not discussing this!”“I’m sure we can discuss this, sir.”Adrian stepped forward, smiling. He tried to be as polite as possible, but Haris remained unyielding.“No means no!” Haris thundered, “Who do you think you are to be doing as you wish?!”Nobody expected him to be so stubborn. Nevertheless, Adrian continued smiling. He stretched out his hand, holding out something. Haris was goi

“Please make yourselves at home. I have to go now!” Atticus dashed off.Watching him, Adrian realized it was the right decision for them to come here.Dragon Prince then asked, “Wasn’t that too much, Adrian?”“Yeah, I think you’re at a loss here.”“You gave away an essence stone just to stay for one night? That’s foolish, sir.”The other members agreed with Dragon Prince.Adrian simply glanced at them and said, “Do you guys really think that I’m at a loss? Didn't you notice how panicked Atticus was when he left? He let slip that something happened here a month ago.”Everyone looked at each other. They had noticed what Atticus had said.Adrian walked ahead and patted Dragon Prince’s shoulder. “It’s useless to say these things now anyway. Our priority right now should be resting up. We’ll find out if there’s anything going on here once night falls.” He then smirked mysteriously, leaving the others confused.*As darkness draped the sky, the valley fell silent. Suddenly, a shado

Atticus had said nothing when Adrian asked about the building earlier. Therefore, his instincts told him that this building was the most important place in this valley. They had to pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, someone really came, and Adrian was excited about what was going to happen.The shadow, which was a man dressed in all black from head to toe, walked toward the building. He soon arrived outside the building and put his hand on the front door. What everyone saw next shocked them.With a rumbling noise, the door opened. The noise was so loud that Adrian’s group was surprised that the locals did not react. To them, it sounded like the noise had spread across the entire valley. No matter how deep they were sleeping, they should be able to hear it.However…‘Why did nobody notice the sound?’ Adrian wondered. He instinctively thought that something had happened to the locals. He and his followers were the only ones who could do something about this.Nevertheless, he was not
