Chapter 925: Location (1/2)
”That's not necessary,” Arc answered.
SHING!
A token appeared in front of Gravis. ”As soon as you reach an isolated place in the eastern continent, crush this token. Exar will quickly arrive and talk about the specifics.”
Gravis nodded. ”Thanks, Arc.”
Arc smiled. ”Wish you luck.”
”Is that a joke?” Gravis asked.
”Yes,” Arc said with a slight chuckle.
Gravis rolled his eyes.
Then, Gravis and Stella waited for Liam's return. They wanted to give him enough time to think about his current situation.
In the meantime, Gravis and Stella talked to some beings in the clearing.
Gravis and Stella had to deal with a lot of insinuating comments and jokes made at their expense. After all, making someone embarrassed was always fun.
A couple hours later, Liam returned.
This time, he didn't have a cold expression but a relatively neutral one. However, he still shot Gravis a couple of complex looks.
To Liam, the situation between him and Gravis still felt a bit awkward.
Luckily, Gravis was good in conversations and could reduce the awkwardness to a minimum.
After talking for a bit more, the three of them set off.
SHING!
All three of them broke their emblems as they returned to the hot and uncomfortable underground room that Gravis had dug out.
Gravis quickly put the two of them into his Life Ring and transformed into his beast form.
After that, he passed through Narcissus' barrier and entered the beast territory. Traveling across the river in the human territory would be risky. After all, the Purist Sect controlled that river, and Gravis didn't know how their defenses were set up. It was far easier and safer to go through the beast territory.
After a couple of hours, Gravis reached the barrier to the eastern continent. Gravis dug into the ground again and officially entered the eastern continent.
After around a day, Gravis came out of the ground. He had no map of this part of the world, which meant that he had no idea where he would come out.
CRACK!
Gravis' head came out of the ground, and he saw a mortal woman that had just dropped a vase in shock when she saw the head coming out of her basement.
Gravis looked around and noticed that he had appeared in a mortal village. 'Perfect!'
The mortal woman quickly lost the focus in her eyes as she looked around in confusion.
Manipulating the perception and memories of a mortal was not hard for Gravis.
After that, he made himself basically invisible and left the ground. He was already back in his human form and manipulated perceived reality in such a way that he appeared like a proud Weapon Cultivator in case anyone saw through his Law of Shadow's Subtlety.
Lastly, Gravis searched for some isolated forest and broke Exar's token.
SHING!
Exar arrived around half a minute later.
”You're ready?” Exar asked.
Gravis nodded. ”So, why did you want to talk here?”
”I want to show you the location of your shop directly. I don't like to waste time,” Exar said.
Gravis' eyebrows shot up in surprise. ”Oh, you already found a good location?”
Exar nodded. ”Narcissus and I have dug out an underground cave for you with two long tunnels. One of them leads into a big city while the other one goes directly into the beast territory. However, you should build something that makes it impossible to see the other tunnel. After all, not many people will know that you are trading with beasts.”
Gravis nodded a couple of times. ”Sure, sounds great!” he said.
Exar gestured to a direction with his head and teleported away. Gravis followed him.
After around an hour, Exar and Gravis arrived at their destination.
It was directly at the frontlines, near the coast of the northeastern river.
However, there was something surprising about this location. It was very different from the normal frontlines.
