114 Journey Begin (1/2)
”What a surprise, to think that the dean lose”
”He intentionally loses to him”
”There is no way for the dean to lose”
”Yes, he is his student after all.”
”What a fool. If you watch the match closely, they are going all out”
There are many comments from the crowds. Alex still clueless about it but even he knows it, he will just ignore it. Alex walked away from the arena. He met with Alicia and the rest.
”Alex, you…I can't believe it”
”I also can't believe it. Teacher is very strong” He turned to Firia.
”With you winning today, I can convince them more easily” Firia said.
”Is that so? Sorry for that”
”Don't mind it, it is my choice”
”Then, are you going to the demi-human territory after this?”
”Yes” Alex nodded, ”Oh right, where are Father-in-law and Uncle-in-law?”
”They left just now without saying a word”
”Is that so?”
They chatted for a while before Alex went back to check on Sherry. When he opened the door, he saw Sherry sat on the bed. When Sherry saw him, she immediately jumps off the bed and tackled him. Even though Sherry was in her small form. But she still bonafide a rank 8 monster. Alex fell down to the floor. ”Haha, have you finished refining the pill?”
”Wuu” Sherry nodded. Then she let out her mana to let Alex see.
”Yep, you have a breakthrough.” Alex patted her head for a while.
”I wanted to see my teacher first, do you want to follow me?”
”Wuu” Sherry nodded, then she turned to a stream of light and went inside of Alex. Alex then walked to the dean's courtyard.
”Teacher”
”Oh, you finished your matter?”
”Yes. How about your wound?”
”It's fine. The wound already closed. You are going to the demi-human territory, right? When is it?”
”Tomorrow”
”I see. Then do you know the way?”
”I have a map”
”Which one?”
”The general one”
”…” The dean facepalmed. ”Wait here a bit”
The dean left. After a while, he comes back with a big scroll in his hand. ”This is the detailed map. Well, this one is a national level. You won't get it from anywhere”
He opened the map. He started explaining the territories. ”This is the demi-human territories. Although our relationship with them is good enough for us to send our principal to help them. There are still a few races that didn't accept us. Do you know the 'Council' right?”
”The 'Council', the one who controlled the entire demi-human race, in other words, their leader. They consist of five races, Elves, dwarf, centaur, titan, and druid.”
”That's right. We have a good relationship with three of them. They are elves, dwarf, and druid. We have a neutral relationship with the titan. They only protect the divine tree, they didn't want to intervene in the worldly matter. But the problem is the centaur race. They love to fight. Especially with the other races like us or the demon. If there is any war, they will be the ones who take the front. This is the centaur territory, this is the elves, dwarf, titan, and druid. This last one is their divine city where the divine tree resides, and also the place of their council headquarters.”
The dean circling a few areas on the map. The closest ones from human territory are Centaur, Druid, and elves. While dwarf and titan was relatively closer to the demon territory.
”Even though they don't have any same purpose, they just wanted to protect their territory. But there is one time they banded together, the thing they were most concerned about.”
”The divine tree”
”That's right. That's your plan, right? If you wanted to help the divine tree, you need to go to the divine city where the tree resides. So, if you wanted to go there, you need to go to this Forest first”
”Dakan Forest?”
”Yes. This is a neutral forest. After that, you go to the divine city through the druid territory.”
”Druid? Not the elves?” Alex was surprised, according to the map, he will arrive faster if he goes through the elf's territory. He looked at the dean, confused.
”Though we have a good relationship with the elves. But they didn't want any other races to trespass their territory”
”Teacher, how exactly that good relationship was built in the first place?”
