Chapter 2649 Time to Leave for Zocarro!
A few more months passed and the final round between the last four individuals with a chance of getting a place on the trip to Zocarro took place.
While Callie had returned to the Central Continent to spend her last months on the planet helping the Stuart family empire, the two competitors from the planet went to The Adamant Land.
As soon as they arrived on the world ruled by Sarah, the two representatives from the Spiritual World joined the representatives from The Adamant Land to fight each other!
After six fights, everyone had fought everyone and Sarah had named Sibley the winner of the fifth place in the tournament!
But before the losers even had a chance to return in disappointment to their worlds, Sarah had named Julian as Rowan's pick to represent the last remaining slot in the group that would be leaving in just over six months with Vico and Callie.
Rowan had sent a letter to Sarah advising her of his decision, clarifying that the one from the Spiritual World who had the best result in the six matches would be his final nominee. Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m
So, before returning in defeat to the Spiritual World, Julian found out his appointment, staying in The Adamant Land to wait for Callie and those in the Spiritual World to come for the big match.
Only the phoenix returned to the Spiritual World in defeat, determined to return to compete more strongly in the future when another competition like this arose.
...
Time passed and soon Callie's 10th month in the Black Plain Empire ended.
In less than a month, it would be time for her and her group to leave for The Adamant Land. As such, Dry City was already livelier than it had been in recent months, with many forces not only from the continent, but from all over the planet there for the big farewell.
Meanwhile, Aurae was with Callie, drinking tea under the starry sky outside the quasi-Spatial Kingdom of Dry City.
"What's the journey ahead going to be like?" The elf asked her old war buddy.
"The first few years will be peaceful. Don't worry. We're going to travel to a world called The Enchanted Realm, where we'll let you cultivate for 50 years. This period will be the equivalent of just five years for our companions in Zocarro, but it will help you grow stronger.
Only after that will we face more considerable difficulties, when we will travel for about 2 years to the Artificial Moon of Zocarro. Once we reach the Artificial Moon, we will have to face the longest and most dangerous part of the journey."
"I see... As expected from a high level world." Aurae clenched her fists in anxiety.
"We should reach Minos and the others in about 60 years. By then, the group is likely to improve between 3 and 10 levels, depending on the initial strength of each member." Callie added.
"That sounds fast... I wonder if that's worrying? If it's so easy to get stronger out there, why aren't weaker worlds like ours dominated by outside forces?" The elf asked.
"It could be because of a lack of interest or ignorance. The truth is that we're so small, it's hard to see our world in the vast universe. And even if someone saw us, why would they waste their time on us? The others and I act here because of our past, but we can't really benefit from what's here." Callie was sincere in recognizing the apathetic reality of this world.
"But maybe that will change in the future." She looked up at the stars, imagining the things that Minos and the others, but also these individuals who would travel with Vico and her, could change about this reality.
"I hope so." Aurae also looked up at the sky.
Just as they were preparing for departure, talking about the journey ahead, several others of those who would be traveling and those they would be leaving behind were doing so now.
In a few more hours, it would be time for them to leave this world!
