Alex slowly put down the utensils on his hands and lifted his head up to look at Jonathan.
Seeing that, the others can't help but become expectant.
Then, Alex opened his mouth and answered without hesitation.
"My current level now is 25. I'm still a low-level newbie so I hope everyone can be considerate and take care of me."
What Alex said was what is really inside his mind.
For Alex, level 25 is just a low-level newbie.
However, unlike him who thinks like that, Jonathan and the others were actually shocked by his answer.
"What?! It hasn't been a week but you're already level 25?!"
"Doesn't that mean that you're about to take class advancement and go to the Trial Tower?!"
Jonathan said, feeling slightly agitated.
In his mind, he thought, 'We should make sure to get Alex into our side or if that's not possible, at least to have a friendly relationship with him!'
Jonathan can't help but unconsciously glance at Kris sitting beside Alex right now.
'My precious granddaughter, Kris, will be the one to pave the path towards that strong friendship.'
'I should tell Rolando to give more resources to Kris later.'
At this point, all kinds of thoughts have already appeared inside Jonathan's head and it seems like a lot of time has passed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut in reality, it's only been a second.
Anyway, after hearing Jonathan's words, Alex nodded, "Yes, sir."
"Actually, I am planning to prepare tomorrow for my trip towards the trial tower."
This time, it was Rolando's turn to speak, "Hmm? You mean, there's no Trial Tower in the place you're currently in?"
Alex nodded, "That's right, Uncle."
"It's unfortunate but, the receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild told me that the sole Trial Tower there is still in the capital which is a week away by carriage."
Rolando nodded in understanding.
Then with bright eyes, he said, "How about I help you? Tell me what place you're in and I'll see what I can do."
After saying that, a smug look appeared on his face as he added, "Don't look at me like this, actually I'm quite a big shot in the Alter Dimension."
"So tell me, where are you staying right now in the Alter Dimension?"
Unlike before, Alex did not answer this question immediately.
Alex knows that by asking that question, Rolando has good intentions.
However, Alex is not an idiot who will just randomly tell his location to other people.
He knows the dangers that this might bring to him later on which could even lead to his own death.
That's why Alex wasn't able to immediately answer the question.
As if noticing his dilemma, Rolando said, "Forget it, you don't have to say it, Alex."
"We can just think of another way we can help you."
Hearing that, Alex was stunned for a second before thanking Rolando.
"Thank you for understanding, Uncle."
Shaking his head, Rolando said, "No, it was my fault for not being considerate and asking such a private question."
Alex can't help but get a better impression of Rolando when he says that.
After thinking about it, Alex suddenly said, "Uncle, can I ask where you guys are at the Alter Dimension?"
"If you can tell me that, I can probably tell you mine as well."
Rolando waved his hand dismissively and said, "Our family's location in the Alter Dimension is actually not a secret."
"Almost everyone who goes into the Alter Dimension knows that we own a territory in the Winter Kingdom."
"Ooh, so the place that you all are staying in is called Winter Kingdom, huh. I will remember it." Alex said.
Then he followed, "Since Uncle has already told me your location, then it's just right for me to tell mine as well."
"The place that I'm in right now is called Kyisis Kingdom. Besides that, I don't really know anything since I haven't seen much of the place there."
Hearing that, Ronaldo thought about it for a few seconds before shaking his head, saying, "I haven't heard of that Kingdom before. Maybe it's far away from the Winter Kingdom."
Turning his head to the seat of the head where Jonathan is sitting, he said, "How about you, Dad?"
"Have you heard of the place that Alex mentioned?"
Jonathan rubs his chin with a thoughtful, saying, "No, in the long time that I've been going in and out of the Alter Dimension, this is the first time I heard of that Kingdom."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen they heard that, almost everyone sitting around the table frowned.
"How is that possible, Father? You're one of the first ever explorer who went to the Alter Dimension!" Said Glen.
Jonathan glanced at him and said, "Just because I was one of the first explorers doesn't mean that I know more than other new players."
After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Alex and said, "It seems like we won't be able to help you inside the Alter Dimension for the time being."
"But don't worry, we can still help you from here on Earth."
"Rolando, give Alex a motorcycle. He can bring it to the Alter Dimension by himself and use it as a way of transportation."
Rolando's eyes lit up after hearing Jonathan's suggestion.
"Understood, Father. I will immediately prepare it after we finish our dinner!"
Just as he said that, Alex suddenly said, "Uncle, you don't have to bother about that. I can just rent a carriage there or walk on my own."
"Using a motorcycle there doesn't fit the mood for me."
"Hmm, is that so?"
Rolando frowned.
He turned his eyes to Jonathan as if asking what to do but Jonathan said, "Well, for now let's stop talking about these things."
"We should finish eating first then go to the living room to talk properly later."
Hearing that, Rolando can only stop for now.
Then, everyone went back to eating their food in a relaxed manner.
After seeing that they finally stopped talking, Alex sighed in relief.
"Sigh… what do they really want from me?" He muttered.
