Chapter 344 Jalmer
The following day, everyone woke up feeling refreshed and energized as they had a long sleep rest.
Inside the mansion's dining hall, everyone sat for dinner.
A few servants that Tharin hired soon brought them breakfast.
"Arkhen, we asked around yesterday. There are two prominent locations where people usually train. One is Desert Forest. The ground is desert, but unique big trees and other greeneries grow there along with many beasts."
Gerald paused to take a gulp of milk and continued, "The other one is Warring Meadow. It's even more unique because there are things called Dream Plants and Trees that contain mini-dimensions filled with resources and other activities arranged by people."
"I think we should go there," Tiffani said smilingly with a nod. "We heard that place is filled with people and generally a better place to progress."
"I have something for everyone," Arkhen said with a smile before waving his hand, causing a mini hologram to appear in front of everyone using some reality motes.
"That hologram will keep count of how many reality motes you collected. Once each of you finishes collecting 100,000k reality motes, you can enter Elemental Ruins with a supreme boost to make one of your affinities reach level 3."
"This is good," Sierra nodded before smiling. "Let's see who collects fast."
"Then let's also add rewards," Zoe said with a soft giggle as she thought of something.
"Rewards?" Arkhen asked.
"The first three who collect a hundred thousand reality motes fastest will have their one wish fulfilled by brother Arkhen," Zoe said with a grin.
"Sure, as long as it's possible for me to fulfill the wish." Arkhen nodded with a smile.
"Alright, let's go!" Meya cheered as she had already thought of something.
"But go in pairs or more and don't separate from each other too far. But, of course, I'll be watching you, but still."
Arkhen said before he started digging in.
'I am not angry right now, but I feel like that strange condition is still active.'
[It is active; this strange condition is a side effect of that mysterious power that entered your soul when you got your new bloodline.]
' So you finished checking it? Did you get any more details?'
[Unfortunately, I didn't.]
'Sigh, forget it. We'll learn about it as time passes.'
…
After eating, everyone decided to go to Warring Meadow without wasting more time.
"We will go there, but not to train. Today, we will roam around and relax."
Alas, just as they left the manor, four knights approached them.
They had been waiting outside for the last two hours.
"Are you the new owner of this manor?" One of the knights asked as he looked at the 4th ring powerhouse that Arkhen slaved.
Arkhen glanced at Tharin, who also showed him a confused expression and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know why these knights approached them.
"I am the new owner."
Arkhen said, attracting the confused gazes of the knights.
'Why is a 3rd ring powerhouse owner and not that 4th ring? Maybe he is a hair of some powerful family with that 4th ring powerhouse as a guard?'
The four knights thought along a similar thing.
"This area belongs to Young Duke Jalmer. He wanted to know who bought this property and told us to invite you," the knight said.
"Not today," Arkhen plainly said before he looked at Yosin, "let's go."
Yosin nodded and took out his flying ship from the storage ring as everyone flew up.
However, the knights flew in front of the flying ship to block them.
Arkhen frowned and felt irritated, along with slight anger. He flew out of the ship with his Wonder Flight and stopped five meters away from the knight.
"Move out of the way in three seconds, or there won't be anything left of you to move."
The knights were dumbfounded at the threat before they started laughing.
"Good joke, man. It's my first time seeing someone threatening us in the kingdom's capital, hahaha."
"One." Arkhen indifferently stated.
The gang on the ship looked at each other and wryly smiled.
"We just wanted to advise you to come and meet the young duke. It's for your own good."
"Two."
The knight saw that Arkhen was not budging and quickly moved out of the way. From what they saw, Arkhen was not joking, so they didn't want to risk their lives.
All four were 3rd Ring powerhouse, but they didn't fear Arkhen. Instead, they feared that 4th Ring powerhouse standing on the ship.
The knights shrugged and left to report back to the Young Duke.
…
While Arkhen and his gang left for Warring Meadow, the young Duke Jalmer was surprised upon learning that the new owner didn't pay him the visit.
"He outright rejected the invitation and even threatened to kill you if you didn't move… Interesting," Jalmer murmured as he sat on his throne-like chair.
"Well then, I'll invite him again. A 4th Ring powerhouse is still helpful to me," Jalmer said before he looked at the knights and waved his hand as a storage ring flew towards them.
"Next time they come, give them the gifts inside this ring and then invite," Jarlmer instructed them before his eyes turned cold, "And invite politely.
"Understood!"
The knights saluted the duke by thumping on their chests with their fists and left.
Soon afterward, two knights arrived with a middle-aged man.
"Young Duke. This is the new merchant that entered the capital yesterday."
The middle-aged man stood straight with his hands behind his back as he asked calmly, "I wonder what business you have for this little merchant?"
"A 4th Ring power base merchant with a 4th ring power base bodyguard is no little merchant," Jalmer said with a faint smile. "Please sit, as I indeed have a business to discuss."
…
After two hours, Arkhen and others arrive at Warring Meadow.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful," Evelyn said with sparkling eyes as she looked at a vast meadow with a huge river flowing through it.
