Second World

Chapter 1175 1175. Heading Out To The Portal

”Why do you want to go? You just want to find out the portalʼs location, donʼt you?” Jinga said.

”You moronic piece of shit! Iʼve had it with you!” Four Winds slammed the table again. He was walking aggressively to Jinga. The orc soldiers around the room immediately ran over to block his path.

Jinga stood up. He was not intimidated. He was a level 72 rare elite. He was still stronger than Four Winds. ”You want a fight? Come then. I also canʼt stand you any longer,” Jinga challenged.

”Sit down, both of you...!!” Kabaka shouted. He also slammed the table to express his frustration.

Jack felt bad for the poor table. He could see some cracks on it already.

”Grand chief, you can see how unruly this outworlder is. He is not fit to be a council member,” Jinga said to Kabaka.

”I said sit down...!” Kabaka scolded. ”Use your brain if you want to accuse someone! We have already had the portal-closing stone. The portal will be closed. What benefit does King Storm Wind have from knowing its location? Once the portal is closed, the location is worthless. We donʼt need to worry about demonic cult finding out anymore.”

”Maybe... maybe this is just a trick for us to reveal the location and he might do something before we close the portal...,” Jinga said.

Kabaka didnʼt say anything in response. He just gave Jinga a hard stare.

This caused Jinga enough discomfort that he sat back down without saying a word.

”Hmph,” Four Winds grunted and returned to his seat.

Kabaka returned his attention to Jack, who just watched the drama without interfering. He was secretly glad that Themisphere was a monarchy. He wonʼt stand being part of a council like Four Winds. With the constant argument to reach a decision, he might as well just leave and mind his own business.

”You may follow me to the portal,” Kabaka said. He turned to one of the guards and said, ”Please transmit a message to the garrison there. Informing them of our intention and that we will be there in an hour or two.”

”King Storm Wind, please wait again. We will call you when itʼs time to leave. We have to finish up here first,” Kabaka said to Jack.

Jack gestured with a slight bow. He was again ushered to the waiting room with Water Lily.

This time, Water Lily sat and trained mana manipulation before Jack. Sensing her mana, Jackʼs acute sense also picked up some irregular coldness within the mana. Curious, Jack used Inspect on her.

”Oh, I see you have gotten a special class, congratulations,” Jack said to her. Water Lilyʼs class was now a Cryomancer.

”Thank you,” Water Lily replied and went back to training.

Jack asked Peniel in his mind, ʼWhat grade is Cryomancer?ʼ

ʼSecond class,ʼ Peniel answered. She further elaborated, ʼCryomancer is an Elementalist who specialized in ice magic. All spells with ice damage are enhanced. Furthermore, all the Elementalistʼs standard spells that are not of the ice element are changed to the ice version. For example, Fireball is changed to Iceball. But this is only for the standard spells, non-standard spells learned from technique books remained unchanged.ʼ

ʼElement change? This makes me think, an elemental seed can change the skillʼs element, right? What if I use an Ice Seed on my lightning strike or an ice seed on my Perpetual Lightning Judgement?ʼ

ʼNot all seeds can transform every skill. Some evolved seed is not compatible with certain skills. For example, an elemental skill that already has a particular element will reject the usage of elemental seeds. You can use enhance seed, empower seed, or other seeds on Lightning Strike, but not ice seed or fire seed.ʼ

ʼOh, so there is more limitation... I thought only skills like Tame Pet or Spirit Weapon that is off-limits to seeds.ʼ

ʼSome powerful skill also has very limited compatibility with seeds. For example, your Perpetual Lightning Judgement. Only a few seeds can be used to modify that spell. You will just fail if you use common seeds on the spell.ʼ

ʼWow! I keep on learning new things every day. Thank goodness I have you. Otherwise, I will be lost.ʼ

ʼYeah, you are lucky to have me,ʼ Peniel said with a proud face.

ʼThis also makes me think about all those stories I used to read about reincarnated characters. If I am reincarnated and have to redo all this without you, I wonʼt be able to remember half the things you have taught me, especially the small details. It makes no sense those reincarnated characters from the stories remember all the details of their past lives. If they had reincarnated and relived the same events a thousand times, like that groundhog day guy, then it makes more sense. But if they have only reincarnated once, no way they remember all the details. Itʼs not like they bring a notebook when they reincarnate, do they?ʼ

ʼI have no idea what the hell you are saying. What groundhog guy? And why do you discuss reincarnation all of a sudden? There is no such thing!ʼ Peniel berated.

ʼNever mind that. Just my mind running wild,ʼ Jack said. He cleared his mind from all the chaotic thoughts and trained mana manipulation.

Jack didnʼt know how long they had waited inside the waiting room when Four Winds entered. He paused when he noticed the intensity of Jackʼs mana manipulation. He sighed and knew that he had a lot to catch up to.

Jack opened his eyes when he sensed Four Windsʼ presence. ”Time to go?” Jack asked.

Four winds nodded. ”Follow me,” he said to Jack and Water Lily.

Violent Blizzard joined them when they came out of the meeting room. The four then walked to the palaceʼs teleportation chamber. Kabaka was waiting there.

”Letʼs go,” Kabaka said. He spent a large number of gold coins to use the teleportation device. He felt that he had the responsibility to personally bring the portal-closing stone to the site.

Jack and the others then used the device which had been set to send them to a town called Urg Chomir.

The sun was setting when they came out of the townʼs zone portal. Kabaka said that it took half a day of riding to get to the portalʼs site. He didnʼt want to waste a minute closing the portal so they departed right away instead of waiting for tomorrow morning. Jack and the others didnʼt mind the haste.

A platoon of orc soldiers had been waiting outside the town. With that platoon as an escort, they headed out.
