A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1197 - 1183: Tony’s Invitation
The Forgetfulness Association is the same as the Forgotten Association.
So they are connected to the Old Port? The Old Port is a Harbor, built by all those Immortals who do not wish to serve the Divine Spirits and do not want to remain in the Spirit Realm.
Although Baiyu has never been to the Old Port.
He has always heard rumors about the Old Port.
This place is likely hidden in the gaps of the Dream Realm, much like the place where Moon resides, making it hard to find.
"Then, do you know about the Void?"
Baiyu continued to ask.
"What you’re referring to should be the Void Realm. The Void Realm exists outside of the Dream Realm; it’s a brand new cosmos.
You could think of it as another Dark Cosmos outside the Physical Cosmos.
The existence of the Dream Realm largely serves to fend off the invasion of the Void Realm. The Evil God of the Void Realm has always sought to invade the Physical Cosmos."
Moon said in a deep voice.
"Is it related to the death of the Fierce Sun?"
"The Fierce Sun didn’t truly die; Divine Spirits are very hard to kill. The Fierce Sun’s death was more of its own choice.
The state it is in now is similar to mine—no, perhaps even worse.
However.
It will return one day.
Without the existence of the Fierce Sun, it’s indeed tough for the Dream Realm to resist the Evil God of the Void Realm. That’s why those deities rarely show themselves.
Sometimes the Evil Gods of the Void Realm can find special opportunities to come to the Physical Cosmos.
Of course.
It’s usually just a portion of their power, or a projection or avatar."
"I see, I encountered a Favored of the Lion Craftsman, and he invited me to explore an Abyss. What do you think?"
Baiyu looked at Moon.
The other party slightly frowned: "It’s hard for me to judge. The Lion Craftsman and the Scar God are mortal enemies.
However, they do not meet.
The Double-Horned Axe would not allow them to meet.
The Cosmic Abyss—I don’t know where that is, as I am in a dream, much of the information is out of touch."
Baiyu nodded.
"Then let’s leave it at this for today. If there’s anything, you can come to me directly." Baiyu politely bid Moon goodbye.
Waking up from the dream.
Baiyu looked at the two pieces of information given by Alfred, frowning slightly—Frank brothers.
They seem to come from a family called Frank. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Both are very strong, and the two brothers cooperate seamlessly in battle, making them extremely troublesome.
Even holding them off would be difficult.
I need to plan carefully.
...
The next morning, Baiyu woke up from his bed.
After dressing up, he walked in the Abai Bridge District, seeing lively streets filled with decorations everywhere.
The streets were also crowded with people.
He was slightly startled, only then recalling that today was Abai Bridge’s City Festival.
The grandest festival each year.
Count Misar had chosen to act today, clearly after careful consideration.
According to the agreement, Baiyu took a taxi and arrived at a beverage shop.
The shop was quite large, lavishly decorated, a sign of a more upscale consumer zone.
There are many kinds of beverages in Abai Bridge.
Baiyu had never tallied them, but from what he gathered online, there were at least tens of thousands.
In regular stores.
There would generally be a few hundred common beverages available.
After entering the shop, Baiyu looked around and noticed Teacher Tony sitting alone at a table, drowning his sorrows.
"Hello, one serving of Multi-Fruit Star Sweet Juice, please."
Baiyu sat across from Teacher Tony, smiled slightly at a server, and then looked at Teacher Tony: "Hasn’t Alfred arrived yet?"
"Ah, he’s probably taking care of some matters, especially since there’s a grand celebration for the City Festival tonight.
Every Church has to send quite a few people to maintain order."
Teacher Tony didn’t seem concerned about the evening’s action.
The two quietly drank in the beverage shop, time slipping by, when an Iron Armor-man walked in.
He carried two massive single swords on his back, gleaming coldly.
"Destructor, He Leiluo."
Tony raised his glass, a slight smile on his lips: "This is Mr. Geman, an ally for this operation."
He Leiluo picked up a glass from the table, coolly raising it: "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Geman."
"Likewise."
Baiyu gently clinked glasses with him.
"In our circle, people typically have a title for ease of reference. For example, He Leiluo is called the Destructor.
My title is the Capricious Monarch."
Teacher Tony ran his fingers through his long hair, letting it cascade down his back.
Baiyu, surprisingly, found himself unable to comment on such a nickname full of ridicule.
"Your circle?"
He smiled, looking at both of them.
Teacher Tony nodded: "Yep, we’re all Interstellar Hunters. It’s a massive group with numerous organizations.
Some of them you must have heard of.
For instance, the Reckoners.
You have great potential as an Interstellar Hunter; Alfred recommended you to me, and I think you’re quite impressive as well.
So.
Would you consider joining us?"
Alfred recommending him?
It made sense; Alfred and Teacher Tony were good friends. If Tony’s Hunter team lacked manpower, recommending him was quite normal.
After all, Alfred knew he had a clean background as someone from the Blue Star.
"What are the benefits of joining you?"
Baiyu asked.
Teacher Tony looked at He Leiluo and smiled: "What benefits? Exploring the vast and deep cosmos, witnessing various wonders and mysteries—doesn’t that count as one?
Many Interstellar Hunters choose this profession to make a living, to earn money.
Or to be under someone’s control.
We are different; we cherish our freedom. Our team focuses more on self-improvement.
Of course.
The compensation and spoils we earn aren’t something ordinary teams can compare to.
You’re likely at some kind of bottleneck now.
Traveling the starry sky is the easiest way to break through."
Tony chuckled.
Clearly, the reason Baiyu and Tony hadn’t discussed this before was because it required the approval of Destructor He Leiluo when he arrived.
Joining wasn’t solely Teacher Tony’s decision.
He required consent from the other team members.
And Destructor and He Leiluo must have already recognized Baiyu, which is why they brought it up.
"I’ll think about it, after this mission ends."
Baiyu neither agreed immediately nor declined.
Tony wasn’t surprised by the reaction; he smiled and nodded: "Alright, we’ll be staying in Abai Bridge until Alfred’s commission ends. But after that, we may leave the Chaos Mother Star."
"You have other team members?"
"Yes, three others. If you join, we’ll be a team of six."
Tony smiled: "It’s not easy to find fitting team members these days. We’ve maintained a five-person team for almost seven years now."
