Kapitel 56: Wildernesses! Where is this?
"Oh! This are just my little backpacks. I sorted out some clothes and decided to take them along? Why? You want to carry them for me?" He obviously heard the ridicule in her last question.
As he crunched on his carrots, he suddenly turned towards the weapons that each of them was holding. He had a weird expression on his face. It would be normal if things were changed, but Wang Shi Yi actually had a spear by her side. The way the spear was tilted by her side made it clear who it belonged to.
To the side of Xingyue, he could see a sword, only, he felt like this guy had just picked the weapon out of convinience and completely lacked the demeanour of a swordsman.
Seeing the weird looks they were getting from Wang Lu, how could the two of them be willing to swallow it.
"Wang Lu! What is with those eyes? We are not saying anything about the fact that you are stuffing yourself carrots like a rabbit and you have the audacity to mock our weapons!" Shi Yi couldn't hold back as all, as she drew her spear from its posture and wielded it to show off. But Xingyue didn't seem very happy about this.
"What are you doing? Go out if you want to show off your spear tricks." He spoke hurriedly.
"What tricks? This is clearly skill alright! I begged my grandfather to be able to own this spear. It was definitely something from his collection. He claimed it was something he once thought my dad would inherit, but he turned out to be a disappointment." She couldn't help but say.
Her arms holding the spear didn't relax at all, making Xingyue overly concerned.
He couldn't stop looking at her lest she swung it in the carriage, destroying their means of transport.
With how Xingyue was whining about this issue, she could only helplessly walk out of the carriage.
Standing on the ground, she was finally able to appreciate the majestic sight before her.
"What the.." before she could even finish her words, Wang Lu interceded.
"I know right! I thought I was somewhere else, until I discovered that we are still within the teritory of the Wang clan." He said whole looking at the pillars with admiration. But to his shock, he discovered that both Xingyue and Shi Yi were snickering.
"What's wrong?" He asked as he looked at their expressions.
"What have you been doing all this time? Don't tell me you focused purely on practicing and didn't even bother to gather any information about this place?" Xingyue couldn't help but ask with an astonished expression.
It was indeed as he had just said. Wang Lu had been busy and his grandmother was the kind of woman that didn't enjoy providing others with a trailer unless she thought the matter was important. But she didn't think anything that concerned a body forging brat was that significant.
He could understand this from her, but what about his grandfather. The old man was actually busy and even more so, very eager to go into seclusion to care about small things.
His chance to advance had appeared after a long time, how could he be willing to let the chance slide.
Perhaps Wang Lu could feel that his grandparents were somewhat irresponsible, but he was the one going out to train not them. What was even more important, was that he had not asked them and they refused to offer advice.
Xingyue didn't want to act mysteriously anymore, because he knew that before Wang Lu it would be a waste.
"The Cities controlled by the Wang clan are not entirely in the Wang clan domain. Each of this Cities are connected to the wilderness. The same is true for the other stronger clans in the central continent. But that is not important, the descendants of the Wang clan in the cities are far more than even the main clan. This is because those that fail to reach the master level by the age of fifty are pushed into the cities. To cross the wilderness is impossible, and the only way to reach the other cities is by using the means set up by the Phoenix Tower in each city. The wilderness is viewed among the largest forbidden grounds in the world."
After saying all of this, Xingyue, looked at Wang Lu before saying, "Don't ask me about forbidden grounds, I don't know anything. My master actually said that I shouldn't expect any answers from him unless I reach the master level. But he also said this was very difficult and it would depend on my fortune, and also the number of life and death encounters I experience without capsizing!"
He was not shocked by the words he had said, after all he also learned something about the master level. Without reaching the master level, one would not gain any special treatment from the clan.
Shi Yi that had not spoken anything, finally contributed, "My grandfather told me something about the wilderness! Apparently the cities set up on the edge of the Wang clan territory had one purpose, defend the Wang clan fron the wilderness."
When Wang Lu heard of this he had a different expression. He didn't understand why her grandfather had said this, but he knew this should have a reason.
"In that case, what it the mission that we are required to take? What cities are you two going to?" He asked two important questions directly.
It was what mattered at the moment, the other propaganda could be discussed later.
"I think we should head for the combat assessment first. You should know that the moment we crossed from the other side of the massive pillars, we have left the teritory of the Wang clan. The cities are each built into the wilderness, and our chances of survival depends on the choice in city we go to for training." Xingyue said with a serious expression.
At the same time, he said something even more bold, "The dangerous the place, the more likely we should visit! If one doesn't do this, forget about accumulating points, it would be hard to reach a life and death situation. The biggest opportunity for a breakthrough."
"How come you know so much?" Wang Lu couldn't help but ask. He had read a lot from the library, but he just realized his knowledge was nothing in this situation.
