Philip chuckled and said to the Bamboo Swordsman, “Sure enough, like master, like sword spirit. Bamboo Shoot thinks that he’s not good enough, while you share the same thought. As a sword practitioner, you should have full confidence in yourself. Otherwise, how could you wield a sword?” “Bamboo Shoot thought you left without leaving a remnant of your soul. He was very excited when he heard that we had seen you,” Hiram added. The Bamboo Swordsman patted the shoulders of the two and said with a smile, “I’ve received his heartfelt words. Thanks, both of you.” “After this place closes, I’ll return to that stone house and live there in peace. I haven't had that tea for a long time.” After that, the Bamboo Swordsman looked at ease as if he was already sitting at the table in the stone house, drinking the tea made by Bamboo Shoot. Philip asked, “I wonder how we can get out. These passages are so complicated.” “Don’t worry. This place is only open for five days. When the time is up
Almost at the same time, a light portal similar to the one they saw when they selected a passage back then appeared on the wall of this room. The two said goodbye to the Bamboo Swordsman and walked out through the portal. “I should go back and look for Bamboo Shoot too.” After saying that, the Bamboo Swordsman turned into a wisp of white smoke and floated out. It was the same huge passage that they entered before, and countless light portals opened or closed behind them. Philip said to Hiram, “Hiram, I’m leaving.” “Are you in a hurry?” Hiram asked. “Yeah, it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. I hope you see you again.” As Philip gradually disappeared from his sight, Hiram murmured, “I forgot to exchange numbers with Carter.” Seeing more people coming out of the portals, Hiram rushed back to camp. All the surviving people came out from the portals, and the people from the ancient dragon royal family rushed over to gather the crowd. However, after a while of scree
The cab driver looked at Philip in surprise but did not say anything. He immediately started the hover cab and sped through the air. Philip, who was sitting in the back row, took out his communicator and sent a message to Emily, Iris, and Leopard, telling them that he had left the territory of the ancient dragon and hoped they would meet again in the future. He had no idea if they could receive this message. After sending this message, Philip shut down the communicator and threw it into the space ring. Glancing at the densely packed tall metallic buildings outside the window, as well as the neon signboards that were not very bright in daylight, Philip sighed. If this trip went well, maybe he could see them again before the next stargate opened, but if the time was insufficient, it could be regarded as the last farewell. The cab stopped in an old town southeast of the city. “The fare is 130 star dollars.” Philip took out a communicator he had gotten from a member of the Mo
The man took Philip into the elevator, pressed a few buttons, and the elevator went to the second-floor basement which was not displayed. This place was like a small processing factory. The boss took Philip to the deepest part and said to a skinny man wearing glasses, “Make him a communicator.” The man rummaged through the drawer, found a communicator that looked fairly new, and said to Philip, “Fill in your information.” Philip stepped forward and briefly input his data without concealing too much. After the information was entered, the man entered the information database and put Philip's information in it. “It’s done.” The man handed the communicator to Philip. The boss did not try to keep Philip but wanted to exchange communicator numbers with Philip, which he refused. He said, “If you need anything else in the future, you can come to me again.” Philip nodded and left. He was only stopping by in this White Marsh territory, which he had to pass through if he wanted
For some reason, whenever Philip heard of a woman who appeared suddenly, he would think of his mother. When the man was about to continue, his wife called for his help in the kitchen. The man smiled apologetically and said, “I’m sorry. If you really want to know about the Moon Worship Creed, you might as well go to the capital to have a look.” The man left after that. Philip bought an electronic map in a store. The store manager said it was the most detailed map of White Marsh, but Philip did not believe him. He opened the map and studied it. The capital of the Eighth Continent was on the way for Philip, so he could go and explore that place. Philip learned from a billboard that a new type of hover car was being sold, so he headed there. This car showroom was very spacious with three models parked in the huge space, a streamlined two-seater sports car, a four-seater sedan, and a spacious MPV. “Do you have an appointment, sir?” An enthusiastic sales lady stepped forwar
The production speed of this car factory was really fast. After waiting for about an hour, the woman knocked on the door, walked in, and told Philip that he could pick up the car. A car that looked like a spirit beast under the moonlight floated quietly on the ground. Philip opened the door and sat in. Sure enough, he got what he paid for. This felt much more comfortable than the one from Montana Alliance before. This car had an auto-pilot mode, so there was no need for a driver's license. After fiddling around for a while, Philip figured out the general functions and flew away after setting the auto-pilot. Since Carter had mentioned earlier that all good cars had artificial intelligence installed, Philip tried it out curiously. A charming woman that looked like the boss' secretary appeared in the passenger seat. “How may I assist you?” the projection posed seductively. Philip shook his head and dismissed it. No wonder Carter emphasized this function. Most people could hard
Philip suddenly stepped forward and approached the girl. He pointed to the logo on her chest and asked solemnly, “What’s that?” Seeing Philip’s rude gesture, the young man wanted to pull him away, but Philip did not budge, still looking at Brianna seriously. The girl raised her head with determination and said to Philip, “I’m a holy maiden of the Moon Worship Creed.” Philip could not accept it for a while. The Moon Worship Creed was notorious as an evil cult, but he just helped a holy maiden of the Moon Worship Creed to get rid of her enemies. Seeing the change on Philip's face, Roscoe quickly explained, “Brianna is a good kid.” “She and her younger brother only had each other to depend on. She was forced to take part in the kill, and she did her best to survive. What’s wrong with that?” the man said in agitation. Philip sighed and said to the girl, “Tell me about it.” The young man was about to speak on her behalf when Philip dragged him aside and said coldly, “I want to
Roscoe looked at Philip in surprise, astounded that he did not know such common knowledge. He said, “Energy stone, of course. Generally, most cars will have an energy stone inlay on the console.” Philip had no energy stones yet. Philip planned to go to the city and find out with the two children what exactly this Moon Worship Creed was about. “Keep up with me.” With that said, Philip charged ahead. The boy and the girl looked at each other and barely kept up with Philip’s speed. Suddenly, several giant spiders blocked their path. The spiders must have been attracted by the silk thread they stepped on. Seeing the hairy spider legs as thick as a small tree and their round bellies, Philip said in disgust, “How disgusting.” He raised his hand to form a wall of fire and burned the spiders into ashes. As they were about to move on, a few fire-loving lizards climbed out of the nearby tree. “There are so many demon beasts in this forest,” Philip said in exasperation. “Tho
