Chapter 78: Chapter 78 - Unknown Future

"Elder Zongfa, one last question. What happened to the 8 Grand Elders?"

"About them... Most of them had died in the past centuries or so. Only three of them still remain."

"Where are they?"

"I don't know about the first two but the last one is right in this building as we speak. My master Grand Elder, Halflin. The Wood Cultivator."

"So he must be... I don't know a few thousand years old then, right?"

"Hahaha, Yes he is. But whenever someone mentions that to him, he becomes angry and says stuff like he may be older then us but his soul is much younger than ours."

Just like that we talked for a while as I asked a few more questions before the time came for me to finally leave here.

"Thank you, Elder Zongfa for answering many questions of mine and helping me broaden my knowledge." I bowed as I said that.

Zongfa nodded as he acknowledged my bow and said to me "Hmm... Take this with you."

He gave me a white envelope with something in it and told me "That is my recommendation letter. If you ever want to get admitted in the academy than you can use that to your advantage."

"However... You can never open that letter EVER. If you do then I'll know it and you won't get my recommendation."

I didn't understand the secrecy of hiding what was underneath but I still nodded as I said "Thank you Elder Zongfa for your recommendation and I promise you that I won't ever open this letter."

Zongfa nodded as he heard my words "Good, good. Now go and prepare yourself for the future, Young William."

I bowed to him one last time then I left.

After I had gone down towards the main hall, Zongfa looked at William with eyes that had a specific meaning to them as his face started becoming colder and colder.

From beside him a voice suddenly spoke up.

"Yes that might be true, but if you had checked more thoroughly than you would have noticed that the boy had already mastered both of the affinities."

"WHAT! How can that be possible! How can anyone master the two most opposite affinities at the same time! And so fast too!" Zongfa was clearly shocked by what his master had said.

"Hoho, yes that is one would generally ask but he had done something that was only done by one person in this whole world in so many years." Halflin said with a strange glint in his eyes.

"But still even if he had practiced them I don't think he will able to get to a much higher level with that awful constitution of his... At most he might get to level SIX or SEVEN and that too if he was lucky enough to do so."

Halflin came forward and leaned against the railing as he saw William leave the Alliance Federation and said "I wouldn't worry too much about that... Something tells me that he will be able to go to a level much higher than that."

Both of them had different expressions on their faces as they looked at William venturing out to a journey that was filled with uncertainties.

[ Flashback Ends ]

And like that after I had talked to Elder Zongfa, I got down and went towards the direction where the clerk pointed to me and got outside to find a bus waiting for many people who wanted to go to the Wiseburn Kingdom.

I got inside and after traveling for a while the bus left me in an unknown place at the side of the road as I looked at the beautiful scenery in front of me and came back to the thought I was having before.

'And that is how I have been stranded in this unknown place... not unknown like a bad area or there wasn't people here but a place which was just unknown to me.'

'But look at the so many beautiful things over here that could help people go through everything in their daily life. Cleaning AI, Traffic AI, Navigation AI and many more where that came from.'

'Yes this place might be even more better in quality than the Tudor Kingdom.'

'But for now I should look for where I need to put my priorities first.'

'What should I do first then? Should I look for a place to stay for temporarily like a hotel or should I find something permanent?'

'For now why don't I find something temporary and when I get a good feel of this place than I will find something permanent.' I ended my thought as I came to my decision and was out to look for a Realtor.

But I didn't know where one was so I came to a bulletin board that also acted like a smart tv and used the navigation system to find a realtor that was in the area around me.
