Chapter 1367 - The Perfect Specimen (2/2)
“I didn’t say I don’t want to.” Lorrisa blinked. “I’m just being vigilant as I should be. After all, to me, you are not familiar enough, not reliable enough. Do you think it’s normal for me to wake up in this situation and then follow a bunch of strangers to participate in some kind of ‘inspection’? But I can’t refuse because I can’t beat you…”
Hao Ren felt embarrassed and said, “Errr, we did have a misunderstanding at first, but you did it first.”
“I didn’t say that… Well, that’s true, too. In a word, I don’t think I can refuse your offer. I’m also interested in the ‘other world’ you mentioned. If I have the chance to see the scenery there, it may be a meaningful experience.”
“You can go sightseeing, but to be honest, you probably won’t be able to stay there for long,” Hao Ren said and shrugged. “The Wall of Reality is still fragile, and people like you who had a direct connection with that event 10,000 years ago can’t cross the line at will, so you can only stay there for about ten days.”
“It doesn’t matter,” said Lorrisa in a more relaxed posture. “Anyway, my kingdom is gone. Why should I care about those?”
She accidentally slipped back into Elf Queen mode again.
“Well, that’s settled then,” Hao Ren said and nodded. “You’ll settle down with Becky for the next few days. I’ll go back and arrange for the 100 ‘travelers’. I’ll take you with me when they come back to Earth.”
Lorrisa smiled gracefully and said, “I’ll follow your plan.”
Then she looked back at Becky and said, “I’m sorry to bother you.”
“Not at all,” said Becky while waving her hand. “My house is quite empty anyway. And the servants are too free. They keep talking about this house is haunted. Now we have one more people staying here, they should feel relieved.”
Hao Ren thought for a moment. A 10,000-year-old “mage emperor” suddenly appeared and stayed in the house. Could anyone feel relieved?
Three days later, Earth.
The list of delegates in the “homecoming group” to the Plane of Dreams had been confirmed. Now it was the appointed day for departure.
There was no need to assemble in a specific place. And they did not have to worry about missing out. Those eligible for the tour received an early message telling them to wait until the agreed time. Everyone on the list had prepared in advance, waiting for the appointed moment with anticipation, nervousness or skepticism.
They had all received Hao Ren’s notice and heard the explanations about the trip, but anyway, they could not imagine what a journey it would be. Perhaps only when they stepped into the dream plane could they truly understand how big a real world there was beyond their world view.
Of those 100 people, probably only White Flame could slightly understand the concept of “crossing over to another world.”
In Coldfrost Citadel, White Flame and Hasse waited in front of Hoarfrost Sanctum. Next to them were the other chosen demon hunters, and behind them, many more who had come to see them off looked forward with curiosity and anticipation to the small open space ahead.
In the Athens Sanctuary, inside the hall of the Shadow Council, the round table had been removed, leaving a circular open space. A circle of candles lit the edge of the open space, making it look like some kind of secret ritual. Other leaders, such as Hessiana, Zeon Lucas, and Hesperides, stood in the middle of the open space, waiting for the time to come. Hessiana looked around with her bright eyes, wondering where the gate would open.
In the secret realm of the Ebben Family, Casar and Ewen Ebben also stood in the open space before the castle. They were closely watched by several elders of the clan. The two werewolf brothers looked at each other, smiled and said, “Can’t believe that we were invited.”
“Haha, I wonder how many acquaintances we can meet…”
In the secret places and sanctuaries, those who had been privately invited were ready. Some of them were full of anticipation, while some of them were skeptical. But no matter what they thought, the time had finally come.
Doors of light opened before their eyes.
