Chapter 31 -31-Encounter with Dark Lord
Ethan had a great night's sleep, only to be disturbed by the system notification.
[Ding! Northwood free pass, 320 days remaining. Hero detection system blocked, 2 days remaining.]
Then came a knock at the door.
"Are you up yet? Are you up yet?" The voice belonged to the soldier guarding outside.
Ethan sat on the bed, yawning and stretching, his spine popping with the movement. He then yelled towards the door, "Alright, stop knocking."
"The boss wants to see you, get yourself ready," the soldier called through the wooden door.
"Okay."
Ethan washed his face, got dressed, and walked out.
As he opened the door, he saw the soldier standing guard outside, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
He must have kept vigil the whole night, never expecting Ethan to behave so obediently.
Just as the soldier was about to speak, Ethan interrupted him, "I'm going to grab some breakfast first, we'll talk later."
