"So, how do we get in?" Grey asked after they walked into Ellis' room. "We'll walk there. I'll try to distract the guards there. It shouldn't be too difficult," Ellis replied, he added after a while, "The only problem now is getting my father to trust you since he doesn't know you, and I can't go in with you, well, not immediately though," "Hmm, okay. But can't you see him whenever you want?" Grey asked, he found all these strange. "My uncle doesn't allow it, he uses the excuse of my father needing rest to stop me from going," Ellis gritted his teeth angrily. Grey shook his head when he heard this. 'I've always hated big families, they always fight against each other for control over the family.' He thought. For some reason, he felt grateful that he wasn't from such a big family. He didn't even know anyone else other than his parents. "Okay, so when are we going?" He asked. "We should wait for a while, I believe my uncle will be leaving the mansion soon to attend to some things. Since those three are here, then there's a chance that he would leave," Ellis replied. Grey nodded and didn't say anything more, since there was nothing to do for now, he decided to study the items they got from the bandit leader's storage ring. It was worth mentioning that there were some good books on arrays, and he still hasn't been able to remove the mark the necromancer placed on him. Luckily, he hadn't encountered any other necromancers since the last one he met at the ruin. While he was going through the book on arrays, the O'Brien family had made the announcement of Ellis successfully eliminating the bandits of the Suyin Canyon. These bandits were pretty famous, and given how they've terrorized the people who travel through that road, especially merchants, they couldn't help but be excited and feel grateful towards the O'Brien family. This was all the doing of Ellis' uncle, according to his words, it would make more people trust them, thereby giving them more power in the region. Ellis wasn't aware of all this, as he too was going through the items he collected from the bandit leader's ring. There were some things he was interested in, and Grey willingly gave them to him. Void was mostly interested in shiny things, and one small rock in particular. He even wanted to trade all the items he got for that rock. Grey and Ellis tried to study the rock, but they noticed there was nothing abnormal about it. But Grey knew otherwise, Void wouldn't be so worked up over something normal. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞 For someone who has a high taste in things, with the exception of shiny things, it was strange to see him wanting an ordinary rock so badly. …. Ellis' room. 'Oh Void, what's in that rock that you wanted so badly?' Grey suddenly recalled it while in the middle of his study and asked. 'Hehehe, blood,' Void laughed sinisterly as he replied. 'Eh? Blood? What the hell do you need blood for? And who's blood is in it?' Grey's head went blank for a moment as he never expected an answer like this. 'A Dragon's blood. I shouldn't be mistaken, this is one hundred percent a Dragon's blood, and here it is, in my hands. Hehehe,' Void laughed as he showed off the rock to Grey. Knowing what was inside, Grey was astonished. He couldn't help but recall a certain Ice Dragon he encountered in the trial land. 'What do you plan to do with it?' He asked. 'Refine it of course, it'll help enhance my abilities greatly. Although a Dragon's bloodline is nowhere near mine, I will manage it,' Void said proudly. Grey chuckled when he heard this, he still didn't know what Void truly was. He had never heard of a cat hatching from an egg before, but he saw it with his eyes so he couldn't deny it. It was also common knowledge that Dragons were at the top of the Magical Beasts' world, but Void said he was just as powerful as Dragons. 'Are you sure it's safe for you to use?' He asked worriedly. 'Of course, I can also lend you some as well. Dragons have one of the strongest bodies and bones in the world, if you can refine even a tiny bit of their blood, then your physical strength will improve tremendously!' Void said. He knew Grey's physical strength was not like other Elementalists, he was far stronger than them when it came to this, almost on the same level as Magical Beasts. 'Really? Isn't this going to be harmful to me?' Grey asked. If what Void said was true, then he wouldn't even think twice before using it. 'Would I give you anything that would harm you?' Void rolled his eyes before keeping the rock. Grey shook his head, 'Since that's the case, fine.' 'We can't use it here, once I remove the seal from this rock, then everyone around will sense it. We'll have to wait until we get to somewhere safe, alone,' Void explained. Grey thought about it for a while before nodding. He wasn't in a hurry anyway. He checked his ring, seeing all the essence stones inside, he thought of how he was going to be able to go back to the Azure Continent. "Hey, how did you go to the Azure Continent?" He turned to Ellis. "It was accidentally, so I can't really be sure if you can use it as well. But I can take you to the teleportation array I used," Ellis replied. "Alright, once we're done here, you'll take me there. I need to go back to the Azure Continent," Grey said. …. Some kilometers away from Mortar City. Outside a small town. A group could be seen walking out of the town. It was the same group who went to the Suyin Canyon after Grey and Ellis left. A figure suddenly appeared before them. "My Lord, there's news about who wiped out the bandits," The person bowed before speaking. "Where?" The old man asked. "Mortar City, a young genius from the O'Brien family," The person replied. "Fine, it's been a while since we visited our friends in Mortar City, let's go,"
