Chapter 697 (2/2)

”What erosion?” he was stunned and asked

”You should know the Fallen Evils They're one kind of the erosion and also the most common They aren't people who lost their control over the Force of Nature after awakening Instead, they're those ere eroded by the outside world, thus turning into another lifeform Conventional ht against them” Garcia explained to him with a low voice

Roland sed hard as a sense of unease grew in his heart ”The Dream World is eroded?

”What's theof the outside world?”

”I can't tell you more about that unless you join the Martialist association and obtain a hunting license”

”Why?”

”Because not all people who have awakened their Force of Nature will choose to side with the martialists” Garcia pronounced her words one by one ”Some people even hope that forces from the outside world would break into our world These people are hostile to all hu license would not only allow a person to fight against Fallen Evils, but also permit martialists to kill those awakened people ant to destabilize the society”

”So that's why it's called the hunting license?” Roland was frightened upon hearing this In other words, if I confirm that I've awakened with the Force of Nature and refuse to join their Martialist association, wouldn't I be considered as their mortal enemy?

Garcia shook her head as if she saw through his concerns ”A small part of the awakened refused to join the Martialist association or to work for those forces of evil They're called the centrists Our Martialist association won't take action against them, but the Fallen Evils are different Most centrists act alone, so they would frequently get attacked by the the Martialist association, you'd better hide your power forever”

”When we first met each other, your immediate reaction was to reach for the weapon on your back, so why should I be nice to you? You should feel lucky that you didn't actually pull your weapon out Otherwise, you would already be lying in a hospital bed” He finally loosened up and let go of his earlier doubts, but all he got was a blank stare

Just at this lanced at her phone and frowned, saying, ”I've got to take this call”

After saying that, she took the phone into her bedroom and closed the door behind her

Apparently, she did not want Roland to overhear her phone call

”This is a once-in-a-lifetiht

He stood up right away and took off the slippers fashi+oned with furry rabbit ears He then quickly walked to the end of the corridor with bare feet

Through the gaps in the louvered door, he was able to get a glimpse of as inside Garcia had redecorated it into a walk-in closet where there were various types of fe some female underwear

However, nothing could stop hi the truth of this world

He pushed the louvered door without hesitation, and while srance of those female clothes, he walked into the closet

After walking through layers of clothing, he found a dark turquoise gate at the far end of the closet He noticed that it was unlocked and its handle was covered with a thick layer of dust which stood out of place as

Has Garcia never entered this Gate of Memory?

But this was not the tihtly turned the handle

The smell of seawater i the beach came from afar The deep blue sea slowly unfolded in front of him like a vast curtain
