章 2280: Threats

The Divinities were clearly communicating among themselves through their Divine Sense, as they didn't say anything after Alex spoke, despite intently staring at him. Alex waited for a while, and then the old man spoke again.

"Do you mean to say that you're using no special technique or artifact to enter the mountain?" the old man asked.

"Nothing, I'm just by myself," Alex said.

The old man nodded. It was unclear if he trusted Alex or not, but he pressed on anyway. "What is inside there?" he asked. "What treasures have you found within it?"

"Treasures?" Alex asked, shaking his head. "There's no such thing there. It's a barren land with only regular plants growing. There's no treasure there."

"And yet you go there once a day, religiously. You're not telling me you believe in the faith of the hands when you've only recently come to the Medicine World," the old man said.
