Chapter 862 A Crazy Idea
Chapter 862 A Crazy Idea
?
William didn't advise the leader of this city out of his pure will or kind heart. He wanted to save lots of trouble for his guild branch here and his people. If this city started to act openly to gather all the new intel and information, memories and things that no one knew before, then it'd save his branch a great deal of time.
As the leader got what he wanted, William was sure such a greedy leader wouldn't let such a chance slip by. But first, he had to test out the true value of this information and knowledge. And the moment he'd do that, he'd start madly gathering up all the information he could from not only this continent, but from the entire world.
William knew such a move would definitely attract tons of attention later on, starting many cities and forces to copy this city's move. He didn't care about that, as he was sure by the time others would move, this city would collect enough to let it rise up for many stages over the heads of others.
He then told the leader and other masters around about Ibra and Tina, telling them that these two would be left here to handle the issues related to his guild branch.
"Are you leaving?" As he said all this, he ended his words by saying that he was going to leave. He stayed here for long enough, to leave lots of assets for his guild branch to thrive in this world.
"I have nothing else to do," William shrugged, "my master is anxious to return to his world. He also wants to roam other places."
"Oh… Can we send a few of our people with him?" the leader moved his eyes around, as if he was inviting others to join him on this.
If it was up to them, they'd speak and negotiate directly with Sloth. But it felt like the latter was acting a bit cold towards them, distancing himself from any attempt to chat or negotiate. Not to mention William left the impression that he was the spokesman for his master, the one who could make decisions on Sloth's behalf.
"Well… My master can't guarantee their return anytime soon," William already wanted to rope in many masters from this world. They were strong, experienced, and grew up in a harsh environment, one without the backing of using one's spirit body or anything.
William knew the curses affecting this world were gone, and that included the shackles placed over the spirit bodies. Yet for a reason, not a single master mentioned anything about the spirit body, or anything related to it.
William didn't know why, didn't get that there was something all masters here lacked; the knowledge of how to activate their spirit bodies!
It might look trivial and natural for William to use one's spirit body. But without knowing how to do it, no one would ever succeed in activating their spirit body.
"That means… Your master plans to return here again?" One of the masters attending this meeting picked the hidden hints behind William's words. And the latter nodded.
"My master grew fond of this world, and decided to come here at the end of his trips… But he couldn't give a definite answer about how long that will take."
"I see…" the leader of the city paused, lost in thoughts for a long moment, "how about this… I will send a group of a hundred masters with you, including all the prodigies in our family."
The leader said something that surprised William. But when others spoke up, William knew they were all thinking the same way.
They all mentioned sending out their prodigies and strong masters with a bright future ahead. For a reason, William felt like they realised how grand the chance of letting their offspring and prodigies take such a path.
As they were going to end up here, then it was a long-time investment. And as every city decided to follow this city's leader approach, sending each a hundred of their prodigies and promising masters to join William's master.
William knew they all would get shocked when they'd realise the truth, but it wouldn't affect anything. They took part in this expedition to learn great things from the master, and it wouldn't make any difference if the master was an old man or a youngster like himself.
They agreed to meet up after one month, at the border of the zone William specified.
"This… It's a place ruled by the dark masters!"
"The Black Holes? Are you sure?!!"
Many exclaimed in surprise and doubt, while William calmly smiled. "Don't forget, all the dangerous zones changed and became safe, right?"
"Not that place," the leader shook head, sighed before adding, "that place is still filled with dangers like nothing affected it."
"And the dark masters' threat is still there. They didn't lose anything, didn't grow weak or something," another master said, and William could understand why they were all worried.
"If you are this concerned about this, then why won't we conduct a massive army and clear that area from dark masters?" William knew this continent was ruled by dark masters. These cities' masters were just one of the few who still had their independence, yet they still had hard times as well.
"This…"
"My master promises to take part personally, and he guarantees your win," William seriously said, saying something grand like this, "on the premise that you provide him with all knowledge you have about that region, the nature of monsters and dark masters in that part of the world. He also wants your support of resources, without any limitations."
William wouldn't take such a step if he just left with everyone in his team. But as things turned out in different ways than what he initially expected, with a branch of his guild being established here, he had to put much more effort to help his guild branch and his friends ruling it.
