Chapter 575: Lord Makay is an immortal? (1/2)
”What are we supposed to do now?”
With the initial misunderstanding, or rather, with the initial correct guess about who the three of us were now completely covered under the facade of the bullshit that I came up with, Eve approached me, using the fact that the guards no longer paid nearly any attention to us.
”We will go and visit that lord those poor people mentioned.”
Not even bothering to hide my voice, I couldn't help but notice how the young leader's arms shrugging the moment he heard my words. In the end, no matter how much he would advise against it, he would only make my curiosity even worse. And to top it all of, no matter what the outcome of that meeting would be, I didn't need to be worried about anything!
If everything were to go smoothly, we would gain a proper foothold and maybe even a social protector for the time we would require to get accustomed to this place. And in the off-chance of conflict sparking up between my group and that lord, I could freely test out all the new opportunities that I discovered during my breakthrough and my time spent in the void!
After all, I was unable to forget about this one sight that etched its place in my memory. Just the single look at how vastly different one's cultivation had to be in order to make the full use of the prowess that entropic state of energy gave to one…
That's why, rather than wasting the time on just walking and talking, while everyone was focused on fulfilling their current task, I was already expelling all the energy that I had in my body as to make the proper preparations for the change of my cultivation!
After all, with my current energy affinity, I only required a speck of the magic in order to wreck havoc against anyone who would dare to raise a hand against me or anyone that I cared for. In fact, if all the theories about how immortals had to assimilate entropy in order to advance were to turn true, then even this group of the absolute powerhouses of the entire world would have some huge problems while dealing with me!
In the end, immortals were just like your any other cultivator in the first place. After years of developing their talents in classical magic, they still had to make a huge change in their life, shifting entirely towards the entropy! If my guess was correct, then the immortals stuck at the initial stages could actually be weaker than they were before advancing, due to how inefficient they were in terms of managing their own, newfound power!
On the other hand, I was not only capable of using normal magic to its full extent, I was also quite good at manipulating the entropy! With just the difference in skill already putting me at least in the middle ranks of the immortals, once supplemented with all the other tools, weapons and skills that the system offered to me, I could easily topple nearly everyone outside of the absolute cream of the top of this entire world!
”This is the road that will take you outside of the count's lands. If you walk it for about two days, you should reach Count Aahen's lands. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying there. He is a wise and generous lord.”
Seeing how we were on the crossroad and how the leader insisted on convincing us to take the road leading straight, I had the feeling that if we wanted to have the meeting with the local lord, we would have to actually go to the right!
