Scared Continent

Chapter 27

Before the white robe man answered, he looked around like he was worried that someone would be eavesdropping. He then moved his chair closer. "You should be aware of Gbolagunte's family and the fact that the were one of descendants of the ancient family. One of their ancient shrine was found not long ago, so they requested people to follow them since they were unaware of the danger they might encounter. I was also fortunate to follow them, fortunate to be part of those who came back alive. I got the note in there, although the note was able to widened my knowledge, I could not get what I was looking for. The name of the place is Sacred Continent, bigger than the world we are by several folds. According to the note, no one is absolute, the strong prey on the weak, the only law there is the survival of the fittest. Everything is possible there as long as you possess the power required, one could make rain and fire fall at the same time. The note also made mention of herbs that can cure, heal and kill. Herbs that could revive a dead person as long as the person haven't die for a long time. The most mysterious thing about the place is that the time ratio there is not the same, if you spend two days in some place, two years would have pass in other places. Even comparing the time ratio with the weakest community there isn't the same. A month here would be a day in the weakest city of the Sacred Continent. Whenever someone gain a huge amount of power that could threaten the life here, a powerful force would suck the person in, such person would arrive at the weakest city of the Sacred Continent. That is the first method mention by the note on journey to the Sacred Continent. The second method mention can't be entirely considered a method but an accident, any one, either powerful or powerless can be forcefully taken away by heavy storm, when people who travel through the void encounter storm, they might also be brought away, but where they would be thrown to in the Sacred Continent is not certain, they might arrived at the weakest or the strongest or a place not to strong nor weak depending on there fate. The note also made mention of the third method to reach the Sacred Continent but the description of the rout to the place had already been tore out by someone. The route lead straight to the weakest city of the Sacred Continent. It's really a pity that the note was of no help." The white robe old man signed helplessly after he finished his explanation.

The other old man was also disappointed after he heard that the description of the route was already tore out by someone. He could only give up on the thought of heading to the place and continue to live his lonely life till God knows when. Peter was surprised to see such scene because the old man didn't explained in details for him like how the white robe man did. He even said he was unaware of the name to address the place. Was it that the man who spoke to him was different from the one that was conversing with the white robe old man or the old man had memory lost after he die? He wasn't even sure if the old man was still alive or not. Although the white robe old man words didn't revive his hope, it helped him to determine to persist. He was told to find what would motivate him to fight with all his might to look for solution to what was happening to him. He really hope Juliet would be what he was looking for, he hope that with her in his mind he would not want to give up. He could not consider his feelings to that of love because he believe he could still do without her.

While he was thinking about that, the scene he was seeing change. He was surprised to see the charming lady before him, smiling at him. Before he could think of anything, he saw a silhouette who look exactly like him. It is more accurate to say he saw himself, but the self he saw was much more healthy than the real him. He was certain that this was him, just that the one he was seeing not have the injury he had. Another noticeable difference was that, the one he was seeing was much more powerful than him, it was like the difference between Heaven and Earth. He really wish he had such power for real, or at least, he should be able to heal his injury. "I don't want you to say anything, just let me enjoy the feeling of having you around once again." The him in the dream said to Juliet, Juliet eye was teary looking quilty like she had done something wrong. "Why do you have to be like this? If I haven't forgiven you, do you think I will be standing in front of you. Let the past be past so we can focus on the present and plan for tomorrow."

Maybe it was because Peter wasn't angry with her for what she had done, her eyes became more teary and when she could no longer hold the bitterness in her heart she tear up like a small kid and buried her head in Peter's chest. Peter tried his best to comfort her but the more he tried, the more she cried. Peter who was looking at the scene was totally confused because he didn't know what she had done that made her feels guilty to such extent, he also didn't know why he became so powerful and his injury gone in the dream. But he wish it could be reality. When she was about to say something, Peter who was trying to comfort her plant a kiss on her lips.
