Chapter 394: I Should've Come Here Earlier! The next day. Grey decided it was time to leave Frost City, but before leaving, he wanted to go and meet up with old man Gerald, to check out Void’s condition. The liquid he got from the young man back at the Chimera forest should make some improvements to Void’s condition, well, that’s what he thought. He told Alice the reason he brought her out, and seeing her expression, he could tell she approved of it. Alice enjoyed fighting, so staying in one place for months now must’ve bored her. She didn’t delay and immediately left even before Grey headed to Frost City. After hearing Reynolds’ current strength, she felt pressured to improve quicker. She didn’t even want to talk about Grey’s crazy growth, he wasn’t someone who they should try to compare themselves with. Grey makes advancing a stage look so easy, while it actually isn’t. With Alice gone, Grey headed to Frost City. Old man Gerald told him to make sure he stayed hidden since there was no guarantee that Blazh wasn’t waiting for him. Thirty minutes later. Lenz manor. In the secret room Grey stayed the previous time. “Hmm, there’s still no improvement to his condition,” Gerald said before passing Void over to Grey. Grey sighed with a sour expression, “Thank you for your assistance, I guess I’ll have to get a large amount of that liquid.” “What liquid?” Gerald asked curiously. Grey told him of a liquid he used, but he didn’t tell him the name of the liquid. “Oh right, I forgot to ask. The liquid helps to soothe the mind, making one think clearly. I’ve forgotten its name, but I’m sure it’s what I obtained.” Grey replied with a thoughtful expression. “Hmm, could it be the Resurgence Liquid?” Gerald questioned. If what Grey was speaking about was this liquid, then there’s a chance that it should be able to heal Void. That’s if he could get a large amount of it. “Yes, that’s it!” Grey replied. He had been racking his brain to try to recall its name, but he was unable to. He had only seen it in a book, and he was only glancing through, after looking at its appearance and what it did, he didn’t really read more about it, nor did he try to find out about it. “Then it should be able to help your cat. I’m not a hundred percent certain about it, but from what it’s usually used for, I believe it would help.” Gerald replied after a while. “Okay. I found out from someone that it could be found in the magical beasts’ forest…” Grey told him of the location the young man told him, while also asking if it was correct. According to the young man, there’s a bamboo forest in the magical beasts’ forest where there was an entire pond of this Resurgence Liquid. Given the wide network the Lenz organization has, and also how quickly they were able to get hold of information, Grey felt old man Gerald might be able to help him confirm if what the young man said was true. Besides, according to the young man, it was a rumor. “I’ll see what I can find. I haven’t heard of anything about that for now, so I can’t be too sure. You can wait until I get some feedback,” Gerald replied after thinking for some time. “I’ll pass. I still have the communication device with me, so you can inform me whenever you get something. Thanks for your help, I’m grateful,” Grey bowed to show his appreciation. “You don’t need to be too formal with me, I’m just helping a friend’s student.” Gerald chuckled. “Thank you once again, I’ll be leaving the city now. I’ll probably be heading to the magical beasts’ forest from here,” Grey bowed again. After that, he left Frost City once again, this time, it would be a long time before he returns, if he ever returns that is. Now, he was heading out to find Klaus. Since Klaus left the Academy, they hadn’t had any type of contact. It was relatively easier to find Alice and Reynolds since they were in one area. But Klaus was constantly moving further away from him. The time he spent in the Chimera forest further increased the distance between them. But amongst the group, he felt less worried about Klaus. The reason for this was simple, the Principal was with him. Given the strength of the Principal, it would be very difficult for anyone to take Klaus from his hands. Not just that, but Instructor Blake was also with them. Klaus was safer than even Alice who was kept in the Reiss manor. There was no way for the Emperor to track them down since the Principal would be wary of that. After he left Frost City, he took out the tracking disc, he looked at the dots. He could see Alice’s dot moving quickly away from where he was currently standing. Reynolds’ light dot was still, this indicated that he wasn’t moving anywhere. Klaus’ light dot was quite a long distance away from where his dot was. And he guessed there were thousands of miles between them. According to his calculation from the time he went to meet Reynolds, then it would take him at least four to five weeks before he got to where Klaus was currently located. And given how Klaus’ dot was still moving, he knew it would take a long time before he could actually meet up with him. ‘I wonder how he’s doing? Given his personality, a lot of people would’ve tried to kill him already, maybe even the Principal and Instructor Blake,’ He thought to himself with a rare smile. Klaus was the one he was actually closer to amongst his friends, and thinking about all his antics, he couldn’t help but smile. Klaus was a troublemaker, he’d annoy anyone and everyone, especially now that himself or Reynolds was with him. He would try to find another way to say all the crazy things in his head. …. “How does he move this quickly?” Grey’s annoyed voice rang out from the side of a pathway. He was currently walking out of a small city, well, it should actually be called a town, but since it was called a city, Grey wasn’t going to complain given Red City was just as small but it was still called a city. The device was currently in his hands, and Klaus’ light dot could be seen not too far from his own, but the dot was moving away. It has been over seven weeks since he left Frost City, but he hadn’t been able to find Klaus till now. This was already a week more than what he predicted, but he couldn’t complain since Klaus seemed to always be on the move. His journey has been very boring over the past seven weeks, nothing meaningful happening. In his free time, he had been studying forge mastering very hard. Other than that, he also frequently communicated with Alice and Reynolds, checking how they were doing. Alice had surprisingly broken through to the Fifth stage of the Origin Plane, this came as a huge surprise to Grey since he didn’t expect her to break through this quickly. According to her, she had been going around, fighting. Her method of training seemed strange to say the least, but Grey knew battling was the best and quickest way to grow stronger. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂 Alice also told him of the high number of resources she had refined while she was in the secret room cultivating. It was like the battles brought out the remnant of the resources in her body. The people she had been battling with were surprisingly bandits, she had been going around, searching for bandits to beat up. There were a few times she had been placed in a dangerous situation, but having the lightning element meant that she was faster than most Elementalists, as long as she didn’t get involved with people in the Seventh or Eighth stage of the Origin Plane, then she didn’t have any issues. She could even escape from a Seventh stage Origin Plane expert if they were alone, but if the expert had help, then she would find it difficult to escape. Reynolds was having a great time on his end, he hasn’t faced much of a challenge, but neither had he seen anything that would make him improve. Grey felt he would improve whenever he was placed in a difficult position. Given the strength of the Elemental Warrior, it was difficult for him to have any problems with people in the Origin Plane, so he was pretty safe. ‘*Sigh* Klaus would most likely be having fun by now.’ He thought to himself. …. While Grey was thinking of Klaus enjoying himself, some kilometers away, Klaus truly was enjoying himself. “Ah… this place is great! Who would’ve thought that there was such a treasure in this small town. I should’ve come here earlier!” He said while sitting in a small icy pool.
