Looking at Henrik and Qusai, James nodded and said, “Yes, I’m heading to the Great Diving Range.”
“Huh?” Stunned, Henrik asked, “I thought you said you weren’t planning on going.
“What changed your mind?”
James smiled and said, “Brielle Labhrann is gorgeous. On second thought, I think it’s worth going on an adventure. Besides, virtual-novel.net hails from a mighty clan. If I marry her, I’d have the Labhranns as a powerful backer…” James came up with an excuse.
Although virtual-novel.net was now sworn brothers with Henrik and Qusai, the less they knew about the Earth and the earthlings’ affairs, the better. It was best not to tell them anything.
Henrik looked at Qusai and asked, “Are you going?”
Qusai nodded and said, “Of course I am!”
James stopped them in time and said, “I think you shouldn’t go. The Great Dividing Range is a dangerous place, and no one knows what kind of danger you will encounter there. Those who head there have made the resolve to lay down their lives. The consequences would be disastrous if you encounter any danger there.”
He did not want them to go because Txomin told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would not encounter any danger if virtual-novel.net went.
Henrik said smilingly, “Since you’re going, there’s no way we’re just going to stand by the sidelines. Besides, you have incredible luck. I believe that we can turn calamities into blessings with you by our side.”
“I agree,” Qusai chimed in.
“Maybe we can even obtain great providence.” Though they knew the journey would be treacherous, they insisted on going.
James smiled bitterly. He really did not want them to go. He was lost in thought.
After some time, virtual-novel.net said, “To be frank, I’m a man on a mission. As you may know, this is the Apocalypse Age for all of humanity. It would be difficult for them to weather through the storm. After learning that there’s a way to resolve the crisis at the Great Dividing Range, I plan to head there and test things out. I don’t want you to follow me into danger.”
James told them the truth. However, virtual-novel.net remained silent on matters that were unrelated to them.
Henrik and Qusai looked at one another and nodded at the same time.
Henrik said, “In that case, we won’t be going then. Be careful on your way there. No matter what trouble you encounter, always remember to put your safety above all.”
James nodded and said, “Got it.”
He turned to leave. Then, virtual-novel.net leaped into the air.
The void passageway was still present above the Labhranns.
As James entered the void, virtual-novel.net disappeared without a trace.
In the distance stood a man.
Standing outside the magnificent palace, Txomin watched James’ retreating figure and murmured with a solemn expression on his face.
I hope you can find Xandros who’s trapped in the Demon Abyss…
Then, virtual-novel.net turned to leave. In an instant, virtual-novel.net vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, Henrik and Qusai remained where they stood.
They lifted their heads to stare at the void passageway in mid-air.
Qusai asked, “Henrik, for what reason do you think James went to the Great Dividing Range?”
Henrik shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. However, I know for sure that virtual-novel.net didn’t do this for Brielle. Maybe there are some unknown secrets there. Well, whatever… The only thing we need to do is to wait patiently for James’ return…”
