Temporal Pearls

There weren't many people at the place but his compass guided him toward one of the rooms and he went there.

The moment he pushed the door he heard a quarrel that involved throwing profanity. Seth silent his steps and entered. A guard did see him but looked away knowing it was a player.

The people fighting were unknown to him, they sat around a long table. There were around more than 30 players. Each with native clothes and some have covered their faces.

There were a lot of players standing around on the wall watching what was happening.

"It will be foolish to dissolve the organization. Despite its shortcomings, we still help a lot of people, save a lots and we can still save more. You need to know that there are many players that are still living alone and haven't met anyone. GEST continued to reach out for them!"

One of the party said, he was a young man and resembled Skylar in appearance but his build was larger.

The other party was a woman with dark skin colour was refuting him, "They are better not knowing about GEST. You only use the organization to further your own agendas and by the time we realize your deception you already shackle us with baseless rules that hinder our growth, take our possessions and force us to your wills!"

The moment she finished, a man beside her stood and said in anger.

"Your brother Skylar colluded with Navy Blue to attack and rob a figure of importance off his resources because he refused to bend to your will. His fate is unknown now and Dream Fortune has to sack Skylar for his treachery!"

"Your accusations are false. My brother didn't collude with them. The operation is solely theirs!" Skylar's brother tried to reason but someone shouted back at him.

"What about the ten thousand particles of Incandescent Sand we risk our life to procure. Skylar, that liar, held on to it but after we separated for just a moment he claimed that more than half of it was lost!"

A middle aged woman stood too and slammed her hand on the table, with a vein on her neck, her face red in anger, she said,

"We later confirmed that he lied to us as he had gave the sand to his people for a dungeon raid. That vile man also stole Bloodline Essence we paid our money to get from Master of Four Wheel Cart but he tried to tell us it was the Master of Four Wheel Cart that didn't give the pure essence to us.

He also lied the fact that we can get Instant infusions with zero drawbacks because he wants to use his own artefact on us!"

The complaints were endless, the person referred to as Skylar Brother was very patient and with few words will try to refute the claims or say it a misunderstanding and everything will be cleared.

Seth was silent at one corner and he observed everyone. He noticed Rena and her brother, he also saw Dave and his teams.

There was also a member of Brown Team and other teams around watching the banter.

After everything heated up it began to calm down. Before Dream Fortune stood and began to speak.

"There are things that are true and things that are misunderstood and then those that are false. But I assure we will fix the problem and we will go through every complaint and rectify it. We will also refund those that didn't get what they needed and also punish those at fault."

She said elegantly. Her voice was low but reached everyone's ears.

"What I desire of you is to be patient. We need to be united, help each other and get out of this land. Months ago there were no reports of Gawee Beast attacking us players unless we attacked them first. But in the last two weeks, Menos are leaving their forest hunting. I confirm a Medos hunting one of ours. This means we are in danger and we need to act fast."

She was silent for sometime before she continued. "We have published a guide!"

She raised a small book, "We need to send it to every sanctuary as well as the players' congregation but our fund is not enough. Help us send it to our people across Gawee by donating. I will personally do that."

"I will not give anyone a dime but you. If you can go around and collect them then fine!" One of the middle aged women that shouted before said in remnant anger, "I do not trust those vile people you surround yourself with!" She added.

"If that will give you peace of mind!" Dream Fortune patiently said.

"It will certainly does. I have lost too many treasures to the vile GEST in the name of good with no actions!" Another man said while many concur with him.

She made some speeches again before she stood and numerous books floated with her, she levitated around.

"You collect the book, you donat. Those don't have anything to give, they can take the book too."

That was when Zero tugged his sister and gestured toward Seth. Rena wanted to come to him but because Dream Fortune was going around she couldn't.

The enigmatic woman reached Seth.

[GAWEE ESCAPE SPECIAL TEAM]

[GUIDE TO EDGE OF THE LAND]

[BY Dream Fortune]

This was written on the face of the book. Dream Fortune observed him and he heard a whisper, 'I would like to discuss with you!'

Seth was about to agree but his face began to ache and the artificial skin faded away. He was right to keep his mask on, if not, people would have just seen his face burning away and becoming only muscles. It will be horrifying.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Without answering her he dropped 100 Crownling he obtained from Lady Sarama of White Marble House.

She acknowledged his donation before she moved ahead.

There was no need for him and he slipped away.

Rena ran out to meet him but she only saw the distant Cart moving fast pulled by horses. She panted before she turned and urged her brother to come help her call Seth but he shook his head.

"Why do you think he wears a mask?"

"To hide his identity?"

But Zero shook his head.

That made her realize something before she frowned and said, "I just want to tell him to rethink his decisions. What he desires will take away something valuable to him?"

Seth didn't understand the whole meaning of the Quest. Or maybe because his mind hasn't returned to its peak that's why he didn't realize he hasn't gotten the Important Information.

~Important Information

___

Even without the book Dream Fortune made, he can still find the place himself. That means that wasn't the information that was important. But his hasty retreat denied him that.

"This is taking too long?" Seth complained for the hundredth time. The horses were running at full speed but were slower than Little Cub and it has been four days and he hasn't reached Living Roots.

He realized his ability that made him cross distance with ease has reduced considerably with the addition of the horses.

He had entertained the idea that he let Little Cub pull him but he squashed that. The very reason was that the two horses were now Grade 1 and about to become Grade 2 just like the Cart.

Another thing was when night came there were patterns on the horses that appeared which served as nurturing to them and they were adapting Seth's movement skill.

In a way, Seth was forced to train the horses in these four days. Not to mention he has to stop for them to rest, drink water before they can keep up. In short they have to recharge.

"I was used to sharp, sharp movements, that's why I'm complaining now!"

At seventh day, Seth saw the forest and he felt happy before his horses resisted for some time and they galloped inside.

About a kilometer away from.him, a woman with white skin and white hair stopped her horse she was riding. She wore a beautiful armour on her body and she gazed toward the Nightmare Forest.

An old man appeared beside her on foot and sighed, "ME 25 is too cunning. It refused the bait and didn't come out!"

Lady Sarama was still silent before she said, "I know it won't." The old man looked at her confused.

"I just want to give him additional protection in case. And I also want to know the level of his development. He should have get the two horses but I manipulate the outcome to give him this 12 to test something."

She was the one that crafted the horses and now she gained valuable information about something.

She pulled the railing of her horses and it turned before it began to gallop back at high speed and the rest of her people followed her.

Old Man Brighton sighed and shook his head, "Woman?" He complained.
