Chapter 57: Preparations
During the trip back to their residence, Adrian’s mind was filled with thoughts about the recent developments. This situation, while others might call it a misfortune, was no doubt a fortunate boon for him. With his newly acquired movement technique, even though he had only scratched the surface of it gave him some reassurance.
He hadn’t tested it yet, but he could probably outrun the Rank 3 Stoneveil Crocodile now. This gave him a newfound sense of confidence as a crazy idea started brewing in his mind.
He could barely contain his excitement by the time they reached home.
Aside from the fact that he would be able to gather much-needed resources, the map in his possession was also a point of consideration.
Since the location shown on it was mostly in the inner regions, he thought he would have to wait a while before he could explore it. However, now he had a chance.
The next couple of days passed by in a blur.
He went out to make various purchases. During his trips, he could clearly see the shift in the mood of the city. More and more people filled the streets as the city became more crowded.
Many small and medium-sized noble families that resided in the city rallied their warriors in order to face this challenge.
In a mansion in the heart of the city, a middle-aged man with a burly build was seen looking over the city. A frown was present on his face as he continued to stare into the distance.
