Chapter 1032 Furnace Center
His feet atop an orbirter, Ery's figure flew across the Hyperion planet, heading towards his destination – the furnace center. The place where the elites could get access to a body tempering service – the service which he already did six months ago.
He went there with only one intention, to keep his promise to Master Dulin the Dwarf master who was in charge of the furnace center. It had been months since that promise was made, and Ery had finally had ti to fulfill it.
As he flew over the sky of Hyperion city, Ery noticed that a figure was flying right behind him at an unprecedented speed, bridging the distance between them fast. He was startled by the unexpected discovery, but it lasted only for a mont because he soon realized who it was.
Thanks to Spirit Reading, Ery learned that the figure was actually Magus Shena who was flying with a pair of wings that was the result of her second Bloodline transformation. When she finally caught up and flew parallel to Ery, the magus said.
"You should have told you were leaving."
Ery was surprised when he heard her words, but fortunately the wind blowing over his face helped hide his expression. anwhile, he couldn't help but wonder as to why the magus seed so determined to follow him so closely.
"Senior, if my safety is the main concern, you don't need to. This is the Hyperion planet. I'm sure that I'm pretty much safe here."
Unexpectedly, the female magus gave him a little smirk before saying so incomprehensible words. "You really think so, don't you…"
Ery was wholly perplexed by the answer. He then tried to use the opportunity to ask further, however, the female magus either deflected or diverted the question. In the end, she simply said that it was all her duty to the king to keep a close eye and ensure his safety.
Her words sent Ery's brain raging once again, as countless thoughts began to appear in his mind. Unfortunately, Ery did not have the opportunity to dwell on them because he had finally arrived at the flying island where the furnace center was.
Ery was quickly greeted by the familiar sight of the huge construct. Its many tal pipes spouting out different colors of smoke once again entered his field of vision. A faint smile subconsciously appeared on Ery's face.
As soon as his orbiter descended to the ground, Ery made his way into the place. Stepping through the door, he saw that the place was quite bustling with people. The reception was almost filled to the brim as the staff seed to be busy handling the custors – privileged acolytes and elite magus alike.
Ery could see so familiar faces in the crowd. Among them were the Nephilim trio – Armand and his two friends – whom he did not wish to talk with. Hence Ery acted as if he didn't see them and swiftly walked over to one of the staff who was free.
"Welco to Hyperion's furnace center. I apologize but we are very busy at the mont. If you are looking for body tempering service, an open slot will be in four weeks' ti. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Ery was a little taken aback by the fact that the queue was full for up to a month, knowing how much it would cost to have a body tempering service. It was at this ti that Ery, once again, realized that becoming an apothecary seed to have very bright prospects.
For a mont, he wondered if he had taken the wrong profession and that he should have beco an apothecary instead. A mont later, Ery violently shook his head to dispel that thought.
'No no.. this is a crazy thought.'
Waking up from his random little episode of contemplation, Ery smiled at the staff and said,
"Hello, and no. I'm actually not looking for a tempering service. Instead, I'm looking for Master Dulin. Please let him know that Ery Ambrose is here."
The staff did not contact the Dwarf master. She told Ery that the master was also very busy at the mont, so unless he had an appointnt beforehand, they couldn't let him in. She then said that he should co again in three weeks.
Not willing to give up, Ery gritted his teeth before saying, "Actually, I am his brother, Master Grom's disciple, and it is really important for to et him as soon as possible. It's about…Herbs. Yes, important herbs."
The staff seed very surprised when she heard Ery's reason and saw his expression. She quickly had a change of attitude and let Ery in.
"Hopefully I don't get in trouble for this," muttered Ery under his breath as he entered the inner area.
He quickly walked through the corridor he had been in before and arrived at a familiar room – Master Dulin's main workshop. From afar, he saw that the dwarf master apparently had a guest with him.
A young man around his age, with a grand magus figure standing next to him. Ery could clearly see how respectful the dwarf master was towards the other party.
From outside, Ery could hear the young man speak in a serious tone, "I will co again in two weeks, and it better be ready or the Cross family will hear about this." The subdued voice of the dwarf master sounded quickly afterward.
'Yes.. yes... Of course. I will make sure it will be ready by then."
The young man didn't say anything else and turned around. When he saw Ery standing on the door, he stopped in front of him and said in an arrogant manner.
"Huh, Ery Ambrose. I see that you are preparing for the final as well." He suddenly snorted and scoffed. "I am telling you, don't waste your ti. I will not let any of you half-bloods get into the top 5."
Ery was caught off guard by the young man's sudden words. He was kind of confused, and carefully opened his mouth. "Uhm… I'm sorry, but who are you?"
Hearing the reply, the young man suddenly flew into rage.
"You!! You! How dare you?!"
The young man seed to want to say more, but the grand magus behind him quickly stopped him by saying, "Young master, this is not the place and ti. Please hold your anger."
In the end, the youth snorted in anger and left the place after throwing a hateful glare at Ery. On the other hand, Ery was left standing there, completely clueless and dumbfounded. Monts later, he finally opened his mouth.
"What just happened?"
