Adolor led them on the return journey, he used his sword to cut all the vines and branches obstructing their path. He was on the look out for snakes and poisonous insects because it was getting dark and insects and reptiles are more active during the night.
They trekked for a few minutes before they joined an untared road. Many trucks and modified small vehicles were carrying goods and passengers to the city. A black stylish car parked in front of Adolor's group, Adolor opened the door for Dofy who entered and signaled to Louis to enter. Adolor entered and the car zoomed off. "Who is this?", the driver of the car asked Adolor as he noticed an additional passenger through the mirror. "Just an unlucky boy". Adolor who answered very briefly closed his eyes which stopped the curiosity of the driver. All the other vehicles traveling on the road drove off their way and greeted them respectfully. The car which was moving at a very fast speed soon got to the gate of the town. "This is the Northern gate of this City", Dofy said as the car parked for the usual inspection. The gate was obviously made of metallic alloy was manned by a lot of soldiers with their guns held in their hands. The wall was so high and thick, it was wide enough for all the soldiers stationed on it with lot of super weapons. There were also some soldiers armed with a long sword and some with knives as they all patrolled the perimeters of the wall. An man in military camouflage knocked on the window to which the driver rolled down the glass in response. "SIR", the soldier saluted once he saw Adolor. "You may go Sir", he continued still in the salutation posture. The driver continued the journey though with a slower speed. "This man must be a high ranking or retired military officer", Louis thought about what happened at the gate. HONK. HONK. The car hooted at the front of a very beautiful and well designed Estate which was located at the center of the city, in the middle of the Government House and the Barracks. The Inscription,WELCOME TO THE ROSETT ESTATE was etched so big on the signboard located in front of the mansion. "When we were coming, I was seeing several billboards with the name Rosett which already gave the hint of the name of the city and this finally gave me the reason why a high level military officer could become a babysitter". The gate to the Estate opened in no time and the car drove them to the mansion in the center. The car pulled up and Adolor came down while the others except the driver highlighted. Just when they were about to enter the duplex, a fleet of armoured cars drove into the mansion and parked just in front of the mansion and Soldiers in the cars in front and behind came out of their cars and one of them opened the door where Earl Rosett was. GBIM. All the soldiers outside stood at attention as he got out of the car. As soon as he dropped out of the car, the cars filed into the surface garage for cleaning and maintenance. Mrs. Emily Rosett, Dofy's mother came out to greet her husband as she hugged him and they together went back inside with his hand on her shoulder đđđ. "Where is Dofy?", Emily who noticed Adolor's presence asked. Earl Rosett who had already seen her daughter when she was sneaking away knew the only places she could go is either her room or her grandfather's room where she always be rescued. "You don't have to worry she will be available for dinner", Earl Rosett answered his wife as they went to their bedroom leaving Louis outside with Adolor. Roland Rosett, the patriarch of the Rosett Clan and Dofy's father who had changed from his suit into casual clothes sat at the head of the table and his wife on his right. The servants had served the dinner and they tried to wait for Dofy, but after few minutes of waiting they ate and left for their room. Hunger had chased Dofy to the dining room as she wished her parents had finished eating so that she would be able to postpone her sentence till tomorrow when her grandfather will be present. Luckily for her, her party had already gone to sleep..... DONG. DONG. DONG. It was morning already and the ringing of the bell woke up Louis who slept off by the door while waiting to be summoned the premises night... The family just finished breakfast when the Earl cleared his throat and gained everyone's attention. "Dofy, where did you go yesterday?" Earl Rosett asked. "I am sorry father. I would not do this again", Dofy answered as she already knew that arguing with her father cannot bring a good result. Earl Rosett laughed and just nodded his head contrary to the expectation of everyone who expected a very tough judgement. Adolor came in and saluted the Earl who nodded in response. "Sir, should the boy outside be sent away?" Dofy whose mind became at rest remembered that he had a friend who followed him from the forest. "Daddy he lost his memory and he has no money", she added. "Give him an Identity Card, Fifty Thousand Divis and send him away". "Yes Sir", Adolor saluted once again as he went to carry out his order.Adolor was not surprised at the Earl's response as he knew that the Earl only laughs with his family, he is a very strict person outside home. After Louis was given all that Earl Rosett gave him, he set off for the librarian as the only thing he knew well was the language as it was almost the same thing with ELIMA Language. "Thank you for helping me when I needed it the most, I will repay you richly when I make it", Louis said as he walked out of the Estate.Louis was amazed as he walked through the tarred road outside the Earl Estate, cars were moving to and fro just like on Earth. "No wonder, the artifact spirit called it a modern world". Even though he really wanted knowledge about this world, he was really hungry as he was neglected by everyone in the Estate. Louis branched at a road side cafeteria and ate a little where he spent [~~] Divis. "I have to start earning money as survival can be hard without it", Louis thought as his pocket had started deflating. Satisfied, with a smile on his face Louis left the cafeteria and continued the journey to the City Library. Louis reached the library which was guarded by few security men. "Your ID card", a uniformed man stopped Louis by the gate and stretched his right hand. Louis placed the ID Card given by the Earl at the man's palm, the man looked at it for few seconds w before he swiped it in a detection machine fixed to the gate polls. The machine flashed green and the card was ret
The fifty thousand Divis is almost finished and one week will soon be over when the accommodation fee he paid at the inn will expire. "I have to get a way to earn money that will not endanger my life", Louis thought as he left the inn the sixth day. Louis walked around the inner city looking for a way to get a job, but unfortunately for him all the companies needed Education certificates or connection to offer jobs. Louis was tired but as he touched his pockets, the scanty cash pushed him to search further. It's been a long tiring day for Louis as even a drop of water had not touched his mouth, of course water was not free until the inner city. It was already dusk and he still had not gotten a job. Tomorrow was the day his accommodation fee will expire. Louis had slept yesterday hungrily, trying to conserve money. Hunger woke him up as his stomach and intestines were squeezing causing a very severe pain. Louis who could not manage any longer packed all the cheap set of clothes
Louis came out if the building as he sighed. "I am no longer broke. This money should be able to get me some essential materials needed for my laboratory", Louis thought. "The cost of living in the inner city is very high as all my current net worth cannot buy a building not to talk of machines, super computers and the materials needed for research". Louis who was lost in thought ran into a young man who was dressed in obviously very expensive clothes. The man Louis ran into was Brad Cain, from the Cain Clan. The Cain Clan was a top business family as their wealth could rival the Rosett Clan. The only way they were inferior was in strength, but even with that the Rosett Clan still respect them as the Cain Clan are backed by Duke Lane and an all out war will severely damage the two families. Brad was the son of Lart Cain and Rose Lane from the Lane family and he had been pampered since he was small, this grew up with him and he had become a public scum detested by the ci
Just take care of yourself and SURVIVE! This was the last thing he heard before he was kicked out of the car, he could imagine the grinning face of Mr. Fallon as he knew the man could not do that if he was not ordered. Louis who had been through a lot was emotionally drained even though his wound was healed went to an inconspicuous inn, which has almost turned into ruins to gain shelter through the night and to escape the tracking of his pursuers. He thought he was completely free from the pursuit of the Cain family, but he underrated the intelligence of a major family in the city as his location had already been unravelled to the thugs of the Cain family who controlled one of the top gangs in the outer city, Blood Hawk. Brad who came out of the Warrior Guild Building disappointed as he once again failed the examination. He was about to enter his car when he remembered the boy who offended him and had passed the exam, he became more infuriated and he sulked as he entered th
GBOOSH, he sank. Louis who fell unexpectedly could not control himself in the air, he landed on his head as he fell unconscious. When Louis woke up, it was half past two in the morning, he had slept almost for twelve hours. He found out that no poisonous insect or beast had attacked him since he went unconscious and even his pursuers did not get his location. "I knew this tree must be mysterious as it was different from all other trees in this part of the forest". Louis checked all he had brought with him; the spatial ring he was not yet able to open, the bracelet which was a gift from his mother, the ID Card given by the City Lord and the Guild Card from the Warrior's guild. All was complete in their respective positions. Louis stood and wanted to find a way of getting out the pit as his intuition cultivated from various years of being a scientist told him that he was in a very dangerous zone with Zero Percent of coming out alive but he turned to his right where there was a
Louis had gone so far away from the coffin while struggling with the invasion problem and the area had gotten darker as a result of the gloomy wind brought by the ghost. Louis picked on of the movable torches and walked back to the coffin. Louis walked slowly through the steps to the altar where the coffin was laid. He took one of the longest bones to at least get a sense of protection though he knew that the weapon in his hands will not be able to solve any problem that may arise. Fortunately, the only harm had been successfully avoided. Louis tapped the ground with his 'weapon' trying to observe for traps on the steps to the altar. "I hope all this is worth it at the end of everything". Louis hanged the torch by the wall and walked touched the coffin wearily, after touching for few seconds without any suspicious activity, he proceeded to check the contents of the coffin. The first thing he picked out was a very old brown piece of paper rolled into a scroll. Louis opened
Jones was so happy that he is free from danger and of course because of the various benefits he obtained from the dungeon."This actually thought me a lesson, this world is not as peaceful as Earth so it will be of great benefit to me if I plan well and of cause cautious", Louis thought as he once again opened the System Interface which has already being fully activated.[Main Menu]WELCOME MASTER LOUIS JONES Cultivation ProgressFighting TechniquesCultivation MantraMagical SpaceInventoryQuest LogMap and NavigationMartial CompanionsAffiliatesSettingsLog out[1.
