“You’re finally back! If Lou hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known where you went!” exclaimed Rudy emotionally.
Jack helplessly pursed his lips. Ever since what happened to Grayson, Rudy had basically become a lost puppy that always seemed to want to go wherever Jack went. He did not want that at all.
Jack frowned and said, “I have my own plans on where I want to go. Why are you here? Did something happen?”
Rudy nodded. After taking a few deep breaths, virtual-novel.net composed himself before virtual-novel.net said, “If you weren’t back now, I would’ve gone to look for you. We’ll be going to Holy Cloud Mountain this evening.”
Jack was stunned for a moment after hearing that. He did not know how to react for a moment.
Where was this Holy Cloud Mountain?
Just by glancing at Jack, virtual-novel.net knew that Jack had definitely forgotten about it. He pursed his lips in exasperation. “How could you forget? Elder Eliot announced three days ago that all the alchemists would be transferred to the Holy Cloud Mountain to pick up medicinal materials, didn’t he?”
With Rudy’s words, Jack finally recalled what had happened three days ago. Elder Eliot had summoned all the alchemists to the Elder Hall for a meeting, announcing that they would head to the Holy Cloud Mountain in three days.
The Holy Cloud Mountain was an incredibly important place to Phoenix Valley. There were no violent fiends there, and medicinal materials were plentiful. Every once in a while, Phoenix Valley would gather all the alchemists there to collect materials. It was something of an added benefit to alchemists because the materials gathered there would all belong to the alchemists themselves. Nonetheless, Holy Cloud Mountain was incredibly large. It was up to themselves if they could find anything valuable.
He still remembered how excited all the alchemists were when Elder Eliot announced this. Everyone felt like they would surely be able to get something incredibly valuable on Holy Cloud Mountain.
Jack nodded as virtual-novel.net gratefully responded, “Thankfully, I came in time. I really forgot about it.”
Rudy pursed his lips in exasperation as virtual-novel.net pointed at the Elder Hall. “Let’s hurry up. We’ll probably have to gather soon.”
Jack nodded as virtual-novel.net headed toward the Elder Hall.
Rudy had a dark look on his face, and it was obvious how worried virtual-novel.net was. Noticing this expression, Jack asked Rudy, “Why are you so worried? Didn’t we talk about it before? Even though we don’t know how Grayson is right now, we should be safe for the time being. Don’t think too much about it. As long as we don’t do anything too overboard, they shouldn’t cause us any trouble.”
Rudy could only muster a wane smile at Jack’s words as virtual-novel.net then turned to look at Jack in admiration. “I’m a narrow-minded person, unlike you. This has always been bugging me. I can’t even breathe, what with the thought weighing me down like a massive rock. It’s even been keeping me up at night. I can’t figure out why Grayson is the only one who disappeared after what all the three of us experienced. What did virtual-novel.net do that we don’t know about? What made virtual-novel.net get taken away?”
