Chapter 306: Drained Fallen Falls (1/2)

206 — Mysterious Fallen Falls

”So where will we start?” Xiu'er asked Jin Rou as they were eating their meal. After the battle, the emperor invited them to stay for the day and just continue their business tomorrow.

”You'll know it tomorrow.” Jin Rou answered.

And since the emperor was quite kind when asking them, naturally, Jin Rou wouldn't decline to pay the emperor the same amount of attitude.

Besides, getting Xiu'er familiarize himself in this place might be a good idea. After all, in the future, he and his mother would live here.

Then, Xiu'er and Jin Rou were introduced to everyone and the clan seemed to welcomed them wholeheartedly. Well, who wouldn't want to befriend such a powerful being? Their emperor was defeated, and since they couldn't dare enough to antagonize Jin Rou, all they could do was befriend him. And in fact, this move was the best for them.

Not to mention, they would benefit from this greatly. They weren't just aware of it yet.

The next morning. Xiu'er had bade farewell to the clan and said that he would be back as soon as everything was settled.

They went off as soon as the sun took a peek in the rolling mountains so it was quite early and Xiu'er was still sleepy. As a child, he needed much more sleep than adults.

”Why do we need to set off so early in the morning?” Xiu'er grumbled. He was thinking that Jin Rou was purposely trying to annoy him.

”Starting your journey during sunrise is something like people were already accustomed. And so do I.” Jin Rou smiled, ”Besides, it's good in the feeling if you meet the sun during this time. It's quite refreshing and comforting.”

While it was true that starting your trip when the sun rises or dawn came was common nowadays, the child thought that it wasn't necessary at all. After all, what difference could it make to travel during morning and noon?

”Whatever.” Xiu'er groaned and rolled his eyes in annoyance. Since Jin Rou was his guardian, he couldn't do anything but comply in reluctance. Furthermore, his sleepiness would go away later so it didn't matter at all.

”So where are we going really?” Xiu'er was thinking that they might be going to the nearest town to inquire about the current whereabouts of the Templar Clan. As the clan itself was changing locations every time, it was difficult to pinpoint them.

But after contemplating about this, the child shook his head. Even the intelligence of some towns here wouldn't amount to anything. It's the Templar Clan, one of the leading forces of this world, that we're talking. How could mere common people knew something significant about them?

”We're going to a place where you can awaken your true form.” Jin Rou said, ”You just turned into a full blood dragon, but you aren't yet capable of turning yourself into a dragon.”

”…” Xiu'er looked at Jin Rou with disbelief. He didn't expect this kind of answer, ”You have the ability to awaken it?”
