Chapter 369 - Infinite Wisdom.
After teleporting the Realm Portal away, everyone took out their tickets and ripped them in half.
Soon, they arrived back on Stronglord, and most of the players separated. It had been a long night for everyone, and many went to sleep their tiredness away.
Isaac bid farewells to Black Arrow and Golden Crown members. Most of them went to sleep while he left the City Center and continued walking in the streets.
He opened his friend list and messaged Luna. Soon, he received a message that told him she was currently in the Stronglord.
After sending another message, he closed the Interface and went to meet with her.
During the walk, he also saw the loud drumming noises coming from the Colosseum. Even though most of the players weren't there at the moment. There were still strong NPCs that could keep citizens interested.
After walking in the streets for dozen minutes, he finally saw a beautiful black-haired girl dressed in witch attire while standing in front of the antique-looking shop.
''Luna.'' After arriving next to her, his words earned her attention. She turned around and smiled with the hue of pink quickly dyed her cheeks.
''Hey!'' Luna chirped. Then, her gaze went to the antique shop's door, which had a sign that told it was closed.
The shop belonged to Isaac's grandparents, even though he had no idea. They had finally moved away from the outer layer and entered Noble Layer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadison and Malcolm wanted to keep it secret from Isaac, and Luna confidently promised not to say anything to him.
''You alright?'' Isaac asked after seeing her absent look.
''Ah, yes!'' Luna nodded vigorously and asked, ''You told me something about meeting someone?''
''Yes, there is someone I have to meet. Do you want to come?'' After asking, Luna nodded. They locked their hands and began walking in the streets.
Soon, they returned to the City Center. There were still players left that were shocked to see famous player Wraith returning with a beautiful girl.
Their looks attracted both admiration and confusion. They all wondered who the girl was. After all, Wraith was someone that was usually seen alone or with Black Arrow Guild.
Now, someone no one had ever heard of was holding hands with such a famous player. Of course, it would attract questions.
Isaac and Luna reached the Realm Portal. They paid the guard, received the tickets, and then stepped inside the portal.
…
''Haahhh… This is…'' Luna's eyelids fluttered, and saw a Village Square surrounded by wooden and medieval buildings. The ground was muddy and soft. Way different from City.
There was a fountain in the middle of Village Square with players gathered around it. It was filled with clear blue water, giving nearby villagers a sense of serenity.
Once the players saw Luna and Isaac, their eyes showed clear worship. Their outfits already told everyone that they were high-leveled players.
While every player in starting village was dressed in newbie gear, Isaac and Luna wore their unique outfits.
Isaac's gaze brushed past the players. Everyone averted their eyes after seeing him looking at them. Few flirtatious looks were thrown in the direction of Luna. However, Isaac's cold look at them caused them to scurry away with their tail between their legs.
However, Isaac already garnered such looks. This time, Luna pouted and looked at the beautiful middle-aged women with disapproval, which caused them to wave their hands innocently.
''Let's go, shall we?'' Isaac grabbed her hand and began walking in the soil-filled streets. Soon, they reached gates that were guarded by two Guards. They allowed them to enter without even batting an eye.
After entering the Village Chief's house, they entered the weird corridor with a grass floor. Luna's eyes sparkled as she felt the softness of the grass.
''What is this?'' She touched the grass and thought it felt authentic. She was amazed also at the weird framed paintings.
Isaac wryly smiled. The sight was as weird as he remembered. Soon, they reached the end of the corridor, where another guard was standing with straightened back. He opened the door without any delay and allowed them to enter.
The first thing they saw was the chandelier hanging. It was made of blue crystals, and Isaac's look grew more inspective as he examined the crystals.
Luna giggled as she saw the carpet made of wolf fur. She took off her shoes and moved her toes around as she felt the softness of the carpet tickling her bottom feet.
The room itself was quite comfy, with the fiery fireplace and couch placed only meters away. There was also a beautifully carved table in the middle of the room with four bookshelves next to the walls, crammed with books.
Isaac took Luna to the couch, where they got seated. She was still unsure why they were there, but she didn't mind spending some company with her boyfriend.
She felt shy and apprehensive after muttering the word boyfriend in her mind. However, once doing so, her heart was filled with sweetness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter several minutes, a door opened with a long screech, and a man with hunched back appeared. His mouth was curved into an innocent smile as he began chuckling.
''Hahaha… Young lad, you are here.'' Ian nodded with approval and stopped next to the couch.
Isaac stood up and shook hands with him, ''Sir.''
Ian nodded and saw someone who shouldn't have been there, ''Oh, who is this lovely young lady?''
Luna stood up and shook hands with a shy smile, ''My name is Luna!''
Ian, at first, smiled. But then, his eyes became shocked, 'Winter Illness… Is this coincidence? First… The young man with the rarest type of Illness… And now the young lady, with second-rarest… This is… Fate!'
After shaking hands, Ian slowly sat down on a wooden chair.
''You said that when I am level 100, I will receive questions?'' Isaac asked.
Ian nodded and said, ''You must already understand that the real world and World of White are connected.''
Isaac nodded, while the shy girl next to him looked somewhat confused.
''While they are connected… The avatar and real body are as well.'' Ian said.
Isaac nodded and said, ''I have seen some strange changes within my real body.''
''Yes…'' Ian nodded and continued with his aged tone, ''That's only the beginning… Your curse has been reduced by a nice amount, but not enough.''
Isaac was about to ask more about the ''curse''. However, Ian knew exactly what he wanted to know.
'And I… Know how to remove it.'' Ian said and leaned on the backrest. His aged eyes showed infinite pearls of wisdom but also graveness. He had seen things that many would think were fake and the result of his wild imagination.
