Chapter 1286 Can I Send My People Over?
I didn't tell the jumper about that, or else it'd be like informing that damn god about this. I could only keep such news to myself and keep an eye over the jumper.
Up till now, and since the move that bastard did on me when he sealed my channel, that god didn't make another move yet.
But something told me that the bad luck that jumper had was related to something that bastard did. And I got a feeling that that god wouldn't let the jumper meet up with the one who gave him that gift from before.
After all that god was also sponsoring that angel dude. If I was that god, I'd make everything in my hand and prevent the two from meeting up.
Anyway, I knew the upcoming golden quest was something I had zero control over, and many risks were related to it.
"You actually brought him back, sigh!" When we arrived at Earth, many familiar faces showed their disappointment by seeing the masked dude next to me.
"What? Did you think I'd die out there or what?" he laughed when he heard Isac's harsh words.
The two were females acting like males, and I didn't know if this tension was due to their nature as ladies or their sharp six senses or what.
I ignored all that, turned to Lily as I asked:
"Is everything alright?"
"We are here," she moved her hands around, "I gathered up the nineteen we spoke about earlier. And with that masked dude here, we are ready."
"Good," I nodded in satisfaction, "how about the tasks I asked you for?"
"I let the people you wanted back to that place," Isac said while glaring in some hostility towards the jumper while speaking, "and I also sent normal folks out there to help later on."
"That's great," I was happy with their efficiency in doing what I asked them for. Not a quarter a day passed and they finished almost everything.
"Will we go out now?" The jumper joked a little with the spearhead while the two shared some stories while Isabella asked.
"We have to wait," I shrugged, "I got no control over this matter."
"No clue at all?" Isac asked in doubt.
"Believe it or not, I only got a notification about going there without any other explanation."
"I heard each quest has its own scenario," the jumper suddenly started to pay attention to our talk, "so it's no use for you to try and gather any intel about this."
"I know," I bitterly smiled, "we have to wait and see what the system higher ups are planning for us."
"At least we and everyone else in this trial has the same chance, right?" Sara said, referring to the annoying Hescos.
She was the one who got the best of the Hescos, and suffered from them the most as well. So she seemed to hold her grudges quite well. And I hoped she'd be ready to repay such kindness double in this quest.
"That's the basic theory," I wanted to give an affirmative answer, but couldn't.
"Don't underestimate those Hescos," Lily said in a gloomy tone, "they might look weak and vulnerable right now. But don't mistake them for pushovers! They have deep connections and many ties with lots of high figures in the universe."
"Do you mean…"
"That's possible," Lily nodded, answering Isabella's unfinished question, "they may know what this is all about. So we have to be ready for anything."
"They are going to target us? I truly doubt that!" the jumper paused before adding, "I know none can tell the next golden quest scenario, but I know that no matter what scenario was, we won't start up next to each other."
"How do you know that?" It was my turn to speak and express my surprise. Even Silverlining didn't tell me anything about this at all.
"My god told me…" he paused, seemingly hesitating about something, "and a certain someone told me before."
I got what he meant by that person. It must have been the same angel dude who gave him such a gift and a curse.
"I see…" I spoke, cutting the way over to anyone to question him, "so we aren't going to face each other early on… Do you have any clues about what we are going to face?"
"No clue," he slowly shook his head, "all I know is that no one will know about the content of this quest until it starts."
"I hope so," I honestly said, before turning over to Lily and spoke to her about the arrival of more orbs soon from the jumper's world.
As we got nothing to do for now, and everyone was already gathered up, I asked everyone to spend their wealth and buy different gears that might help.
As for those who didn't have enough money to buy what they wanted, I allowed them to go towards the last world of Hescos battle and collect one tenth of the inventory of the dead Hescos out there.
I asked Lily then about the Hescos paragons. But she gave me a negative answer.
"They refused to come," she simply said as if this didn't matter.
"Good, it's time for me to collect my rewards from them then," if they weren't going to come, then there was no point in leaving their wealth, items, and most importantly their artefacts to rot in their inventories.
The only Hescos dude that came was Stephen.
"Lord, I want to send part of my people to that place of yours," just before I'd go back to the second Earth world, Loran stood up and stopped me.
And when I looked in a weird way towards him, he added, "if we met zombies out there, then I alone won't be able to help."
"Sure, send enough people then," I got his point and agreed with him.
I thought I asked Lily to make him send part of his people over there.
Anyway, I watched him go and select ten thousand of his people, sending them over the portal leading to the second Earth world.
