Chapter 234: Beast hoard (1/2)

Alex was forced to play for quite a while before he was allowed to leave. Aside from the first time, he didn't cheat anymore and decided to play fairly.

Finally, he made his way to the front of the deck where his master was.

”Did you have fun playing Fanfan's little game?” she asked.

”You were spying on us?” Alex asked with a chuckle.

”No, you guys were just creating too much of a ruckus. The top 3 disciples playing with the sect leader's disciple. That causes a small commotion no matter how one thinks of it,” Ma Rong said.

”I see,” he said as he looked around the area they were traveling through. Although the nearby areas were passing by in a flash, the areas further away were moving very slowly and were thus much better to look at.

”The southern forest is really large, isn't it?” he asked.

”Yeah, from what I have heard, it's larger in width than crimson empire is in length,” Ma Rong said.

”What? Is that true master?” he asked.

”I don't know. As I said, I only heard that. Might be true, might not be,” Ma Rong said.

Alex looked around and thought of a question and asked, ”Master, do you know what an ocean is?”

”Ocean? Of course, who doesn't? The ocean covers just as much of Crimson empire as does the Souther forest,” Ma Rong said.

”What? There are oceans around the Crimson empire? Can I see it on the way to the Cardinal City?” Alex asked.

”Oh no. The Oceans are around the outside of the Crimson Empire, while the Cardinal city is at the center of the empire, so you will never see the ocean around there. But don't worry, once you are strong enough, you can go roam the empire and see the different sites,” Ma Rong said.

Alex nodded in disappointment. ”What about continents then? You know about them?” Alex asked.

”Continents? Hmm… that word doesn't feel familiar at all, so no,” Ma Rong said.

”Oh, ok,” Alex said. He was dejected, but he had guessed the answer. 'So people really don't know we are in the western continent, do they?' he thought.

'Ocean and Continent, I will need to travel away from the city soon on my own,' Alex thought.

”By the way, Master. We will be reaching tomorrow morning right? Since the competition will start on Sunday, what do we do all day tomorrow?” Alex asked.

”Well, we usually give disciples free rein in the capital so that they can go out and grow. You can do the same,” Ma Rong said.
