A doubt that he had never felt before rose from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if he had been living in chaos for decades and had suddenly woken up and questioned why he was living like this.
This was the first time Garon had such a feeling. He had always been on the passive path, constantly defeating the enemies in front of him until he climbed to the peak of the strongest.
But now, he was suddenly in a different world, surrounded by people who were much stronger than him. He couldn't catch up, and he didn't have the strength or the way to move forward.
But in this journey, in this gap, Garon suddenly had such a feeling for the first time.
But this feeling only existed for a while, and then it disappeared.
Garon shook his head, and laughed at his sudden feeling.
"I haven't even solved my own danger, what right do I have to think about this problem now?"
Laughing, he went back to thinking about the details of the handbook. Combining the images he saw before, he started to familiarize himself with the details and information of the Luminarists.
The East and West Continents were the two main parts of the planet, and the rest was surrounded by oceans and glaciers. All the countries in the two continents were under the control of the Luminarists, and the conflict between the Obscuro Society and the Royal Alliance of Luminarists was getting worse.
And taking this opportunity, the Terraflor Society that lacked a large force took the opportunity to rise. From a simple Luminarists organization to a powerful group that was comparable to the Obscuro Society.
This was the big picture. Other than the three sides fighting, the largest number were still the normal Luminarists.
These huge numbers of Luminarists were the pillars of the Luminarists' world. But two different ideas divided them into two sides. This was a battle of ideas, not a simple battle.
Garon thoroughly organized all the images he saw.
He started to carefully collect all the images that could possibly happen and were related to himself. Forming a time chain, it would be useful when he needed to check.
The convoy stopped every once in a while to unload the supplies they brought, and replace them with new ones. Then they continued to rush forward.
They followed the Red River and went upstream, passing by a few small towns. Garon kept looking for an opportunity to leave alone.
Teacher Emin's address was in the Red River region, but it was not in the same direction as the convoy. But the elites protecting him, Ulun and the other two silent knights, would definitely not let him leave alone. He needed to find the right time.
More than ten days later, during a sneak attack by horse bandits, several masters had no choice but to take action. Garon took advantage of the chaos to leave the convoy.
He left a note and followed the map left by his teacher along the Red River.
*****
At the end of the Red River, in the small town of Wienke.
The small town was located on the edge of a continuous hillside. Flowers covered the hills and plains like a sea of flowers, surrounding the entire town. It was beautiful and naturally fragrant.
In the afternoon, Garon was standing on the slope with dirty clothes as he looked at the town in the distance. The shape of the town was similar to two parallel crosses. There were very few people, at most a few hundred.
It was much smaller than the other towns along the coast.
The houses were all old and run-down wooden houses, mixed with a lot of yellowish-brown mud bricks.
The town was surrounded by a circle of stone walls. There were even many gaps in some places, as if something had crashed into them.
Garon looked at the town quietly and suddenly stomped his right foot.
Poof!
A bright red centipede suddenly emerged from the soil under his feet. It rolled a few times on the grass before curling up into a ball and stopped moving completely.
"It's really dangerous …" Garon muttered. Along the way, he had been walking along the path by the Red River most of the time. He was also lucky that he did not meet any bandits. But just these poisonous insects alone, he had met more than ten times. This did not include the wandering wild wolves and dogs. These beasts came in a large group.
This was especially true for the wild dogs. Every time they came, there would be hundreds of them. Garen was the only one who could use his aura to intimidate them. He was able to completely intimidate the wild dogs into not daring to come forward. If it were someone else, even if they were not afraid, they would be entangled.
In such a harsh environment, without special training, normal people would not even think about going far. Not long after, they would be injured or poisoned by all kinds of insects or animals. They would have no choice but to find a place to live. Otherwise, if they ran out of food, there would be no way to survive in the wilderness.
"After walking for two days, I finally found this damned place!" Garon took out the map and checked it. His face was full of certainty.
Keeping the map, he took out a small whistle and was about to put it into his mouth to blow it.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar throbbing came from the left.
Garon reflexively squatted down and took a few steps back. He used the slope to hide himself.
On a small path outside the town, two black horses were galloping towards this place from afar. On the horses were two men in black cloaks. They were dressed gorgeously and had robust bodies. On their backs were crossed silver battle axes.
From afar, Garon could feel the hidden strong aura on Qi. In his aura, the two men's spirit was like a torch in the dark night, clear and dazzling. It was hard not to notice.
"Soldier level …" Garon squinted his eyes and noticed the symbol on their capes. It was a red flying dragon with a long neck. This was the symbol of the Kovitan Empire's royal family.
"It's them again …" Garon frowned. "Along the way, these elites from the Royal Alliance of Luminarists spread their net everywhere. Every small place was taken care of by them. What are they trying to do? "
This was not the first time he had seen such people along the way. He had passed by several places, fortresses, small towns, and even villages. Occasionally, he would see their shadows.
These people seemed to be searching for something.
After squatting behind the slope, the two men left the town and quickly disappeared on the small path.
One of them seemed to have noticed Garon from afar, but he did not look at him. He only urged his companion to speed up.
Garon stood up and watched the two black horses disappear completely. Then, he picked up the silver whistle in his hand and blew hard.
There was no sound, only the hissing of the air rushing out from the other side of the whistle. It was like a broken whistle.
But Garon did not stop and continued to blow hard.
Soon, another 'knight' ran out of the town. It was a beautiful girl dressed in white, riding a beardless white goat.
Baa ~ ~ ~
The white goat ran straight towards Garon.
The girl in white on its back also shouted excitedly.
"Hyah! Hyah!! "
Garon put down the whistle and watched as the girl ran in front of him and got off the goat.
"Is this your whistle?" She asked without thinking, pointing at the whistle in Garon's hand.
"Yes."
"Grandpa Emin asked me to bring you there. Let's go. "She said loudly while leading the goat.
"Okay."
Garon did not hesitate. The girl in front of him did not look strange at all. Her body was just average. Garon looked at her hands. Her fingers were rough and covered with thick calluses.
"She's not a Luminarist apprentice either. Should be a normal person. "
He followed the girl into the town. Most of the people were women and children. Occasionally, there were a few men who were stretching, as if they had just woken up. Some of the houses had smoke coming out of them.
Dogs barking and chickens crowing could be heard from afar.
The girl led Garon to a small wooden building at the back of the town.
"This is the place. You're grandpa Emin's student right? So young? "
"Yes." Garon smiled and nodded. "I'm Garon. Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
"I'm Kening. I live next door. I come here occasionally to help grandpa clean up and learn to read." The girl said generously. "Go in quickly. Grandpa Emin is waiting for you."
"Okay." Garon took out a small rumb coin from his waist pouch. "This is your reward for leading the way." He handed the rumb over and placed it in the girl's hand.
"You're so generous." Ke Ning's eyes lit up as she snatched the copper coin from Garen's hand with her claws. She put it under her nose and sniffed it hard. "It really is the smell of money!"
"Alright, I'll go in first." Garon smiled and ignored the girl. He pushed open the fence in front of him and walked into the small wooden building.
After a few steps, the building's door slowly opened from the inside. An old man with white hair and a beard stood quietly at the door. He wore a white robe and his face was full of wrinkles. Only that familiar, scrutinizing gaze was the one that Garon was most familiar with.
"Teacher … Emin?!!" Garon hesitated and stopped in his tracks. He looked at the white-haired old man at the door. "How did you know?!!" He could tell from the man's aura that he was Emin. The Luminarist who used to be a middle-aged man.
Emin smiled, very peacefully.
"Come in first. We'll talk slowly." He turned and walked into the dark house.
Garon strode into the house and closed the door behind him.
The house was dark and damp. There was a faint smell of burnt leather.
A ray of light shone in from the skylight, becoming the only source of light in the house.
Emin sat on the sofa beside the light. He held a cup of hot water in his hand and took sips from it from time to time. When he saw Garon enter, he pointed at the sofa in front of him.
Garon walked over and sat down. He sat in a proper posture, his gaze resting on Emin's white hair and beard.
"Pour yourself some water if you want." Emin pointed at a dirty bottle of warm water at the corner of the room.
"Got it." Garon nodded. "Teacher … this time I …"
"If you have something to say, just say it. Is it about the Black Guards? If it's because of this and you want me to do it, then we don't owe each other anything. You have to understand this. "Emin said flatly.
"Black Guards?" Garon paused. "What Black Guards?"
"Hmm?" Emin paused as well. "Aren't you here for the Black Guards?"
"Of course." Garon was confused. He suddenly thought of the two black capes he saw earlier.
"If you're not here for the Black Guards, then why are you looking for me at this time?" Emin frowned.
"I'm here to learn more from you." Garon said bluntly.
