Lord Shadow

Chapter 1774: A Ghost Ship

These ghostly beings then would lead them to the outside world near the route of the Seven Islands.

And then just like a convention of company seeking jobseekers, they would meet these people and persuade them to join their world powers by using all kinds of methods.

Last year, Hamad and Hatta convinced three people to come to the League of Freedom.

This job that he choose has low risk of danger and he did not have to worry about offending anyone.

Hatta look at Hamad and could see that he is in deep thought and so he did not disturb him as The also takes a sip. ”This milk tea does not have the same creaminess of Teh Tarik” he mutters. ”Where is Malaysia now? Maybe we should go there and rest there for a few months.” ”Playing hooky again?” ”It is not like they check here that much. One good thing about working in this island is that it is a place that did not have much relevance for the League of Freedom”

He paused for a second before taking a sip at the milk tea again, look back at the cup and shakes his head

Clearly, it did not feel like the same he thought to himself.

Then he look back at Hatta and continue saying ”They do want talents but it is not like they would die if they do not have it. Not to mention, it is not like the realm would open every month. Sometimes, it would take years. Three years ago, dozens of people come out from the Untainted Land. I expected there would not be anyone breaking through the barrier and I was right. We have been sitting in these islands for years. Maybe we should go take a vacation for a while”

Hatta listen to Hamad and he chuckles. Maybe it is not a bad thing to take a vacation.

He was taking a sip when suddenly the device that is in his sleeve suddenly vibrate. At the same time, Hamad also felt the same vibration on his pants pockets. He brought it out and look at the device. ”It is unusual” he thought to himself.

He got up from his seat, and quickly get out of the café.

Then he flies toward the sea.

Hatta follows behind him.

And as they come closer toward the boundary between the Sea of Lightning and the normal sea water, they could see from all directions, all of the representatives of the world powers is also flying toward the sea.

These are all administrators sent by the other world powers.

Some are far away from Hamad and Hatta and some are closer towards them.

When they are a few dozen kilometres from the boundaries between the Sea of Lightning they stopped.

They waited in front of the Sea of Lightning.

They did not dare to come closer.

Unless they know how to navigate the Sea of Lightning or have enough power they would not risk themselves to get smite by lightning.

Hatta look at the Sea of Lightning in front of him and then said ”It is unexpected that the barrier would be open again. Is the concentration of energy in the Untainted Land is really that much? That it could afford to churn out even more Disk Formation?”

Hamad did not say anything or a second.

When he is in casual mode he is very casual.

But when he is working, he knows how to split between personal and public things. He thought for a second and shakes his head ”this is unusual. I know that there is a time difference between the Untainted Land and the real world. But...... the energy in Untainted Land is not as thick or as numerous. So, when someone managed to break through to Disk Formation in the Untainted Land, it would take a few dozen years for the energy of that world to return to normal”

Hamad said these words but then he remains silent.

He is also thinking. he felt something is wrong.

There is some other things he did not mention.

He knows that sometimes the energy of the Untainted Land would be thicker and dense, pure and cleaner because there is this filtration system between the barrier and the real word.

But this is not the norm and depends on luck and fortune.

There is some years when the energy of the Untainted Land would be very clean and pure. But that is because the gathering formation that is near the barrier between the two worlds. And after the last time people breaking out of that barrier and come into the world, it should take more time.

From what he heard, the other batch take quite a lot of energy into them and it would take time for the Untainted Land to reach its normal state again.

This is why the Untainted Land was created.

It is so that weak people could catch up.

But it is also a place for people who do not want to play on the higher-level ground.

Like a novice village. If you donʼt have the confidence to compete in the world, this is a sanctuary for you.

Hamad and Hatta waited in front of the sea of lightning. Even though they feel unusual, they should check it.

Usually, they would not go to the edge of the Sea of Lightning to wait for people. But it is because they feel this time would be unusual that they come out.

And seeing that there is also other people around, that also mean they also feel this unusual. They waited for the ghostly beings to bring out the people. But then, Hamad opens his eyes wide.

There is a ship. A ghost ship. And Hamad eyes narrows. Hatta recognize that ship and he look at Hamad.

Both of them look at each other, both of their faces is paling. One look at each other and they both know what the others are feeling. Panicked. ”this.....”

Hamad nodded. ”A big problem” he mutters.

Right now, he really feel that he should not come out. At least, he would not be dragged into this matter if he just stays at the lodge.

After all, even though it was brief, he had also seen this person before

But the most important thing is ..... Why would this ghost ship appears here?

Even though Hamad could not see the faces of the other people that is floating around near the Sea of Lightning, he could guess how their expression would be.

It would be like him.

Uncertain and unwilling to believe.

Most people that came here to become a welcoming committee are usually not that important in the world power

Sometimes, there is even political losers that was sent here. There is also people like Hamad and Hatta who wanted to avoid the right and wrong of the political world and requested to be sent here. But all of them have one trait. And that is to avoid trouble if they could.

But when they see that ghost ship, they know that trouble has found them and that they have driven straight to trouble.

Because that is Loki Ghost Ship

Crystal Island

He opens his eyes.

And the first feeling he felt was this numbness. He look at himself and he found that he is floating in the air. The blue aura that shrouded him slowly fades away

It is like it is being retracted back into its source. He look in front of him and he could see that the blue aura enters back into the blue crystal. This man is none other than Azief.

He slowly floated back down to the ground; his toe touches the crystals floor.

He look at himself and found himself to be naked. His robe all has been pulverized. ”Twenty years, if I am not wrong” he mutters to himself.

It is time, he thought to himself.

He would have like it if he could extend more time. But twenty years is the limit, he thought to himself.

Azief then chuckles ”Twenty years and I did not even learn that much” he mutters to himself. It is not that he learns little. But there is too many things in the blue crystal. The knowledge of the Etherna is sublime and touches the concept.

It is not easily understood like a book or a fact where he could just memorize things and be done with it.

It is meant to be felt. For a moment, Azief took some time to remember why he woke up. And he remember the future he had saw. ”twenty years had passed. And it is now the time for a problem to rear its head again”

Azief was not rash nor he is rushing.

Instead, he stretch his body like he had just taken a nap

He close his eyes for a momenta and smiles. He could feel that the two avatars that he had let go also probably have some kind of improvement in their understanding of Chaos and

Harmony.

The day they return to him, the Path of those two would be complete and Azief could aim to reach the next stage.

But that is too far away for him right now. >>
