Chapter 292 A Man In Gold
And they had a hunch that when it rained, there would be some kind of big storm.
Aurdis and Saeldir were still quite surprised by the shape of all the structures, vehicles, and people\'s clothes in this world.
Not that they were surprised with awe.
In their world, everything is much more beautiful. All of this was nothing compared to what the Elves had.
It\'s just that this is a new experience for them. So Aurdis can\'t help but continues to stare out the window of a moving car.
On the other hand, Saeldir felt that he had seen enough.
So he closed his eyes and chose to rest. After all, there was a possibility that they would encounter resistance from the other side.
The car was big enough that they could sit in without being cramped.
Adrien sat in the driver\'s seat. Then Billy sat beside him.
Erend sat in the middle seat with Aurdis beside him. Meanwhile, Saeldir was in the back seat and closed his eyes.
"What do you think?" Erend asked Aurdis.
"It is a beautiful world," Aurdis replied. Even though she said that Erend didn\'t see any impressed look on her face.
Erend snorted. "Are you sure? I think your world is much more beautiful."
"Even so I can\'t possibly say that your world is ugly, right?" Aurdis said with a small smile.
"So you\'re just saying it out of courtesy?"
Aurdis did not answer. She just smiled a faint smile at her then turned her gaze outside the window again.
Erend dropped his head on the back of his chair. He also ended up staring out the window blankly.
The lights of the buildings and houses moved in an apparent fast motion.
Between their departure to a place far outside the city.
\'I haven\'t done a Daily Quest since yesterday.\'
That was Erend\'s current concern. He just remembered that he hadn\'t done the Daily Quest after the car left and things calmed down a bit.
The incident made Erend forget the important things he had to do to become stronger.
Erend had remembered that he had not done the Daily Quest yesterday.
But because he was swallowed up by busyness in the end Erend forgot about it again.
By now it was almost eleven o\'clock. Should he do the Daily Quests for today?
But that meant they had to stop to wait for him. So Erend forgot about that idea and chose to open his laptop.
He wanted to learn more about the floor plan of the secret facility.
From the data in the folder, they knew that there was a passage leading underground from the barn on the farm.
Regarding the CCTV cameras and all kinds of security outside, they don\'t need to worry because Aurdis and Saeldir will take care of it.
Even if their Magic power had weakened while in this world, they could still expend enough Magic to do all that was needed to complete this mission.
But they still have to be careful and can\'t be in a hurry. They had to stay out of battle as much as possible because it was too risky.
After some time, Erend\'s eyelids became heavier. The lights and shadows of the buildings started to blur in his vision.
Not long after, Erend drifted off into a dream. Erend never thought that he would enter into a dream like that.
He is now standing on a rock. The rock is yellow, almost similar to the color of gold.
When Erend looked around, he saw that the rock he was stepping on was stretched so wide.
White mist was also present in this place so Erend couldn\'t see the entire area.
\'Is this some sort of retrocognition like that time?\'
Erend wondered while continuing to look for something that he could use as a clue about where he is now.
It turned out that the clue he was looking for came soon after.
Someone walked out from behind the white mist.
He is a man. The man had long, straight hair of a very bright blonde color.
It was so bright it almost looked as if his hair was shining golden.
His face could not be seen because he was wearing a plain white mask. There was only a small hole showing his eyes.
As he got closer, Erend could see that the man\'s eyes were also yellowish like his hair.
Erend frowned and immediately put on a wary attitude.
The man wearing a long gold robe with white patterns stopped when he saw Erend\'s attitude.
"Don\'t be afraid, brother."
Hearing the man\'s words, Erend frowned.
"Brother?" he asked. "Who are you?"
The man was silent for a few moments.
Erend couldn\'t see his face but it was as if he knew that the man was looking at him while thinking about something.
"I see you don\'t understand anything yet. It can\'t be helped. Let\'s forget about introductions because I have to explain everything at length."
"I want to get to know you better. However, we don\'t have much time."
Erend continued to listen to the man\'s words. He seemed to know Erend better than himself.
"Just tell me who you are in a simple term. Something I can accept right now," Erend said.
"Very well," the man said. "Maybe a name is the simplest thing. You can call me Krono."
After realizing that the man - Krono - was showing no dangerous signs that he was about to attack, Erend relaxed his guard.
"My name is Erend."
Erend took turns introducing himself.
Krono gave a curt nod. Then he continued in a hurry as if he didn\'t have much time.
"I\'ll get straight to the point, Erend," Krono said. "Your world is under an inevitable threat."
"What do you mean?" Erend asked with a worried face.
"The power of Magic will come to your world and bring disaster that you have never imagined before."
