The line continued to move at a steady pace, bodies bounced from one place to other. All of them having a hopeful expression on their faces.
Rowen was currently standing at the back of the line with a smile on his face. Ahead of him stood a long line of people all entering steadily in the triangle-shaped door of the purple colour tent. Besides the line, there was a wooden railing that contained them in and to prevent someone from break the line.
At the end of the long line, there was a strange mist that stopped people from peeking in. Causing many people present there to feel anxiety.
Ahead of Rowen stood a slim girl with pink hair. She had a determined expression on her face. Rowen looked at her and with a smile on his face, he asked.
"Big sister, can I ask what is Rubloa sect?"
His innocent face helped him and she turned around and looking at the handsome boy in front of her, she smiled and started explaining with enthusiasm. "You don't know? This was announced just yesterday and even I got the news about an hour ago. These are the people from the legendary Rubloa sect. They are the one that controlled this land and they have only appeared now after ten thousand years."
"It is said that an ancient tomb of a legendary ancestor has been found here and Rubloa sect has been recruiting people for this Expedition, they are also recruiting disciples for their sect." She said, her eyes glimmered with excitement.
"Disciples?"
Rowen asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Yes, Disciples. The ones who contribute the most during the expedition has a chance to be the disciple of the great Rubloa sect. It is said that there are masters more powerful than a true deity in the sect to teach us." She was very proud of her knowledge and seeing a handsome junior she explained everything to him excitedly.
Her excitement was flowing through her eyes. Although she kept her bodily moments graceful and conceited, her smile revealed all her secrets to Rowen. She was very determined and passionate about going in the Rubloa Sect, she wanted to be someone great in future.
Rowen noticed her cultivation level and she was a spirit synchronization realm, and looking at the insignia on her chest Rowen could determine that she was the princess of Coledan country. Rowen cast his gaze around and he could feel may gazes fixed on him. He smiled and continued to listen to her voice without giving her guards any heed.
Coledan country was the neighbouring country of Detus, so it was obvious that they got the information this fast.
'I wonder when they will come to know about me? And the terror that my minions have inflicted on many of surrounding countries.' Rowen thought.
"Thanks for the senior sister to explaining the knowledge." He said.
"Junior brother, you are very cute. You can be on my team if you want. This big sister will protect you." She said with a smile, dimples forming on her face. She was very enthusiastic and hopeful and Rowen's innocent face completely betrayed his true evil nature.
He looked at her hazel brown eyes and smiled while bowing down he said with a soft voice. "This junior will be under your grace then, princess."
She nodded and then raised her heels up and down and then turned back. "Now let's move along the line and do not disturb others, " she said.
She was happy with his decision. As the princes of a country, she never had a chance to connect with the outside people. And today she had made a friend outside of her kingdom, she was very happy about this feat.
After about twenty minutes of waiting, both Rowen and the Princess goth their tokens of Expedition. Rowen didn't register with his real name and instead used a made-up name. He called himself Javion Tillman as the son of a wealthy merchant.
"So your name his Javion, what a cute name! My name is Ia Mushezibitu, you can just call me princess Ia" she said while moving along the tent.
"Princess Ia, a beautiful name just like your nature," Rowen said, his lips arching in a smile.
After going through the other side of the tent, both of them reached on an open wide ground, at this time this ground was densely filled with people, an estimate few hundred at least.
"Wow! There are so many people here, the competition will surely be fierce! However, don't you worry junior brother Javion your big sister here will help you." Ia said.
"I have to humbly thank, big sister Ia than."
Rowen instinctively looked at the crowd, many of them were wearing luxurious clothing, while many wore clothing of guards of different countries, some has a somewhat weird style of fashion. The people with luxurious clothing were all young looking, the most eye-catching thing for Rowen was the powerful aura emitting from all of them.
Rowen noticed that the weakest cultivation base among the crowd was the spirit formation realm, while the strongest has even reached to the peak of spirit synchronization.
He also spotted many of the youngsters with an arrogant face, however, he didn't give them any heed and stood silently behind the Princess Ia. He just smiled whenever she tried to explain something to him.
Soon enough her guards also entered the wide-open area and bowed in front of her. She introduced Rowen to her guards. Rowen nodded at each one of them while keeping an amiable smile on his face.
He, in reality, didn't give a crap about any of them he was just using the princess as a way to stay lowkey and observe his surroundings without getting any attention. As this princess was beautiful all the attention always came on her instead of his inconspicuous figure.
He just looked like another guard of this princess with his normal dress.
He looked at the guards that were around the princess, all of them were on the same realm as him at the Spirit manipulation. They were more like cannon fodder than a guard of Ia if anything unexpected were to happen then they will be the first to die.
"Young gentlemen, can I ask from which country are you from." One of the older looking guards asked Rowen with suspicion.
Rowen could tell that they were cautious against a stranger. And as they can't directly tell this over-friendly princess to stay cautious, they were trying to assess his background.
As all of them were experienced soldiers, they could generally tell if a person is lying or not.
Rowen looked at him and keeping his amiable smile he said. "This humble guy is from the kingdom of Detus, I was born on this land." He then pressed his fist against his chest and said the slogan common in the country "One house, one family!"
Although he could kill all of them now, he maintained his composure as he didn't want to attract the attention of the terrifying existence present in the Big Red tent.
His innocent face and his spirit manipulation cultivation realm helped him gain the trust of the guards and soon enough they lowered their guard against him.
"Javion, do you know that there is a rumour going on that Pill Deity Aurora has advanced to the next stage of Spirit Saint, the realm higher than a True Deity," Ia said with a proud smile on her face, she loved to get validation from people and especially from such a handsome young boy like him.
"Spirit saint?"
Rowen was a little shocked by the news, however, he maintained his composure and asked in a questioning voice, "Big sister, what is a spirit saint?"
Ia turned happy and excited after hearing him. She wanted to share her knowledge with anyone that can listen to her and this ignorant junior brother of hers is perfect for her chatterbox nature.
"You know junior brother, only Royals have this information that there is another level above true deity realm and it is called spirit saint realm. One has to keep in mind that to cross Blackskull wilderness his or her power should at least be at spirit Saint realm."
"Really?" Rowen kept his curious look and his innocent facade helped him.
"Yes, although little brother Javion is not a noble, since you have accepted me as your senior sister I can tell you this information, however, be careful and don't reveal this information to anyone else without my permission." She said and placed a finger on her lips symbolizing to keep this a secret.
Rowen almost punched this narcissistic girl, instead, he nodded in agreement. "Don't worry sister Ia, I will take this secret to my grave."
"Hehehehe... Junior brother is too cute when you make that serious face." Ia said and pinched Rowen's cheeks in excitement, which almost made Rowen lose all his patients and let loose all his Herculean apes on this girl.
