Chapter 257 - In Silence

When a cold and emotionless voice sounded, everyone in front of the endless tower fell into silence.

They had been here for God knows how many years, so they naturally knew what this voice represented.

Amidst everyone’s shock, only one persons’s eyes, after the initial shock, were filled with endless joy.

That guy actually walked out of the maze.

This time, he made a huge profit!

But if Dibos made a huge profit, that would naturally mean the others lost miserably.

And most of these people who lost miserably were the trial-takers who were still stuck at the first level of the endless tower.

They had arrived at the trial-ground many years earlier than Jerry, and they had yet to pass through the first level of the endless tower.

However, Jerry had just entered the training ground and passed through the maze for the first time. How could they tolerate this? Moreover, Jerry had passed through that almost metaphysical underground tomb.

Naturally, they were not convinced. Hence, ever since Ike received the news, they had followed everything to participate in the gamble.

As for the stall owners like Dibos, they had lived for so long that even their eyelashes were empty. Furthermore, Jerry had cleared the first level of the endless tower the first time he entered.

This was not something that could be summed up simply by luck. Moreover, they had long seen through Dibos’s character.

Therefore, these people basically sat at the side and watched the show quietly. Most of the people who entered the venue placed their bets for fun. Most of them only placed one or two low-grade crystals. There were even people who placed their bets with Dibos.

Although the stall owners were still very shocked by this result, they did not lose anything. On the contrary, those who placed their bets with Dibos earned quite a lot.

However, this was nothing to those people. After saving up for so many years, each of them still had quite a bit of wealth. These bets were just for fun.

At this moment, the eyes of these people were shining. As they looked at the few figures that came out from the endless tower, they were more concerned about Jerry.

The first level passing through the underground tomb could be said to have some element of luck, but this time, they directly passed through the lost forest. This was not just because of luck.

For a moment, many people had already surrounded Jerry and the others, congratulating them one by one.

On the other side, a group of trial-takers led by Ike and the rest were gnashing their teeth as they watched the scene in front of them. Many of them could be said to have sacrificed everything they had accumulated over the years.

At this moment, their eyes were spitting fire as they looked at Jerry, who was surrounded.

However, when Ike saw Jerry and the rest, he immediately reacted. Jerry had clearly come out of the maze with Crona and the rest, but the announcement of the endless tower only showed Jerry’s name.

This could only mean one thing, and that was that Jerry had already snatched the world fragment from Crona’s hands. Crona had become Jerry’s subordinate at that time, so the endless tower would only announce Jerry’s name.

“I see!” When Ike was in the maze, he found that the two sisters looked very familiar. After he came out, he remembered that this was the person whom the master of the divine spear dynasty had named and wanted to take in as his subordinate?

Everyone on the first floor of the endless tower knew about this.

“Let’s see how long you can kick up this fuss!” Seeing Jerry who was smiling in the middle of the crowd, Ike turned around and left.

After getting rid of the crowd with a smile, Jerry, Crona, and the others separated in front of the hotel.

Jerry naturally knew why these people were so polite to him. They were interested in his strength. He had passed through the maze twice in one go.

However, he still had some things to deal with. The Blood Transformation Pool on the Eternal Flower Register had to be quickly transferred out. After separating, Jerry brought Athena and Alice directly, after activating the fragment mark on their arms, the few of them directly returned to Sky City from the training field.

The Crona sisters looked at each other and did not immediately return to their own pilgrimage, because the spiritual energy in the Empire Era was not as abundant as the spiritual energy in the training field.

They decided to continue training in the training field to improve their strength.

The two of them were about to go back to the hotel to rest when they turned around and found a familiar figure.

“Long time no see! Congratulations on successfully coming out of the maze.” Ike cupped his hands and said with a faint smile on his face. Unlike the miserable state he was in at that time, the current Ike had returned to his former elegance and calmness.

“What’s the matter?” Crona directly went forward and asked. These people who could become the lord of dynasties were not easy to deal with.

She would not be deceived by the appearance of this person in front of her.

“May I ask if you are Crona Eleanor and Crane Eleanor.” Facing Crona’s indifference, Ike did not care much at all. The smile on his face did not change as he continued to ask.

“Yes, may I ask if there is something you need?” Crona remembered that she did not have many friends on the first floor of the endless tower.

“Nothing. In fact, I am a very good friend of Emperor Lucius. When he first entered the second floor of the endless tower, he had instructed me to take good care of the two of you. It was just that I did not recognize the two of you back then in the lost forest. Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened. “This is my fault. I’m deeply sorry to the two of you.”

Hearing that name, Crona frowned. She knew that this person had come with ill intentions.

“It’s okay. It’s also because you didn’t recognize us. Otherwise, us sisters wouldn’t have been able to walk out of the maze.”

Hearing that, Ike’s smile froze. Crona’s meaning was obvious. If they were together, there was no way they could pass through the maze.

This was a slap in the face. However, Ike was worthy of being the leader of the dynasty. The stiff smile on his face immediately disappeared, he asked in return, “But what I’m more curious about is why the two of you have also passed through the maze. Why didn’t the endless tower announce it? Could it be…”

Crona’s expression changed. She glared at Ike angrily. She naturally knew what Ike meant. “This has nothing to do with you!”

“Of course it has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with Emperor Lucius!” Ike said with a smile.

“It has nothing to do with him either. I can work with whoever I want!” After saying that, Crona walked straight into the hotel. She did not want to stay for even a second.

Seeing the two of them leave, Ike was not very angry. Anyway, he had already confirmed that Crona and her sister had already worked with the guy who had just entered the training ground.

He had only come here to inquire about her situation. He didn’t expect the her to be vigilant to the point where she didn’t mention anything at all.
