214 Doing things the old way (1/2)
”Let's hear the good news, I'm tired of bad news”
Knight said with a frustrated tone
”So be it, the good news is, we found a way to remove the dark energy from your bodies”
”How?”
Knight's eyes brightened when he heard Reghys
”First we need to weaken the dark energy in your body, fortunately, we found that extreme physical activities would do just that”
”Meaning?”
”Meaning, you have to do things the old way, no more of doing things using battle energy ”
Hearing this however, Knight frowned because he could guess that it won't be this simple to remove the dark energy from their bodies.
”So if we do some heavy liftings and things like that, the dark energy would go away?”
Reghys smiled and shook her head
”That's where the bad news comes in, the moment the dark energy in your body reach its weakest state, you must break through to the next level of your cultivation, in your case, the Sun Realm”
”Or?”
”Or the dark energy would absorb the energy in your organs and kill you eventually and also”
”Also what?”
”Also, you must not fail to breakthrough, if you fail, the dark energy would absorb the energy created in your body during your attempt of breakthrough and become strong, very strong”
She emphasized the word strong.
”And kill us, am I right?”
Reghys, Benedict, and Ken nodded as Knight and Don sighed.
”Don't worry General Knight, we will do our best to help you breakthrough”
”To increase your success rate, you need more pills that purify and strengthen your bodies”
Reghys suggested Don as he knew what to do
”Cat”
Catalie appeared before Don
”Tell Joel to come and find me”
The little girl was not in her usual cheery self as she nodded and disappeared.
”Poor girl,” Benedict said after looking at her worried face.
”So get your butts out there and start working out”
Reghys rushed them out and walked after them
”Why are you coming? Don't you have some work around here?”
Knight noticed Reghys following them and he couldn't guess why because she rarely steps out of the apex room leaving the apex and other devices behind.
”I need to monitor Don since he's in a worse condition than you”
”Suit yourself”
Don said and made his way to the throne hall to meet Joel.
”Your majesty, General Knight, Lady Reghys”
When he entered the throne hall, Joel was waiting for him and he was drenched in sweat due to his training program.
”Joel, send word to your men, I need them to find alchemists who are in trouble, they don't need to be very talented, anyone who has some skills would do”
By saving someone in trouble, he could earn their loyalty and gratitude quickly than by recruiting someone who doesn't need saving.
Joel knew Don's strategy so he didn't need to ask any more questions as he bowed and left the throne hall to speak with his men.
”Now let's go do some workout”
Knight ruffled his mane and walked towards the door to reach the training ground while Don followed him behind.
After working out, he had a meeting with everyone to show the items that he got inside the dungeon.
As he was thinking about everything that he planned for today, the three of them came outside to see Arrora waiting for them.
”What are you doing outside?”
Arrora was surprised to see Reghys outside of the apex room
”Why? Can't I stay with him? Or did you buy that position all to yourself?”
Reghys winked at her as Arrora frowned and slowly shook her head.
”What happened? Catalie said I'm not allowed to go to the apex room”
”We were repairing it with their help, I told Catalie to not allow anyone inside”
”Oh?”
Kight and Don didn't know Reghys could lie flawlessly as Arrora completely believed her.
”Can I go with Arwen to check the forest?”
Arrora asked Don as he could see she's avoiding direct eye contact with him and looking a little awkward.
”Why?”
”I wanted to check out the forests, that's all”
He didn't know why she wanted to go to the forest or why she was looking a little uncomfortable but he chose not to ask too many questions because girls like her might want to have some alone time to do something else other than following him around.
”Alright, you can go”
