Gacha Sovereign

322 Song Yu

Before he visited Charya, Alex went to Song Yu's house first. They were chatting inside Song Yu's house.

\"You are leaving now?\" Song Yu asked.

\"Yes.\"

\"Then, good luck.\" Song Yu nodded her head. \"How about Putri?\"

\"She should be fine without me from now on. I have taught her the basics. She can use her Spear Intent and Spear Domain. Although it was pretty sloppy, she only needs to practice normally.\" Alex explained.

\"I see. Do you need anything from me?\"

\"Well, since you have known my identity as an Array Master, I want to ask you about it a little bit.\"

\"Well, you do not need to hide it any longer from me. You probably want to ask me how profitable it is, right?\"

\"Ahaha…\" Alex chuckled when he heard that. He nodded, \"That's right. I need to compare them.\"

\"As it will become harder to progress in the future, will you stop learning one of them?\"

\"No, I am going to continue both.\"

Song Yu looked at Alex's serious expression. She sighed and answered him honestly, \"To be honest, even I do not know which one is more profitable in your case. You are a monster in Alchemy, as well as in Array. If it is for an ordinary cultivator, Array Master would be more profitable.

\"For example, in the future, you will find the medicinal ingredients would be more and more scarce. As for Array Master, your job is still the same. You only need Array Paper made of Monster Skin and Monster blood.

\"So, from my perspective, Array Master would be an easier job and more profitable.\" Song Yu explained. But suddenly her eyes became sharp, she said, \"But it will also carry a certain risk as many influences might target you if you are a famous Array Master. After all, they are the most sought after.

\"There will be two possible outcomes should you refuse their invitation. First, they will maintain their relationship with you. And the second… they will kill you once and for all, so you will not be a threat for them in the future. So if you want a safer path, then it will be Alchemist.\"

Alex looked down, weighing something in his mind. He then looked at Song Yu, \"What if I buy the ingredients or the items and sell the finished products to you… secretly?\"

Song Yu seemed to have expected this question as there was no change of expression.

Alex frowned as Song Yu did not answer him for a while.

Suddenly Song Yu made a big smile, \"Of course, you can. You are our VIP. We will keep your secret. But, as caution as we may, others might know about it sooner or later. Or, in another case, they might suspect you, and I have some 'relationship.' And the rumor would spread…\"

\"Relationship?\" Alex was startled to hear that from her mouth.

\"What? Did this childish body of mine not attractive enough?\"

\"No. That's not what I mean. You are pretty. If I do not have my principle, I might fall in love with you at first sight.\"

\"Hehe… is that so.\" Song Yu chuckled. \"I am just kidding about that part.\"

She paused a little, pondering something.

\"Alex, can you keep this a secret?\" She asked with a serious expression.

Alex's expression also became serious. He nodded.

\"This is about the reason why I came to this place in the first place. No… I should not say I came to this place, but I fled to this place.\" Song Yu said.

\"!!!\"

\"Actually, as your master said before. Our Blackwade clan originated from Heavenly Continent.\"

Alex was astonished. He thought it might be a tragic story where they lost their power and were forced to flee to the Northern Continent. And because of Song Yu's ability, especially her extraordinary healing, she was forced to flee to this continent.

That must be it, he thought. Unfortunately, Song Yu's next sentence immediately gave a twist to his prediction.

\"The Blackwade clan is still in the Heavenly Continent and stands strong in the continent. But, back then, my grandfather made a blunder. They sent him to the Northern Continent to spread our Blackwade Clan continent.

\"But, the Blackwade clan never made a branch in the Northern Continent or Sacred Continent. As they did not need to make a branch or something. So, sending my grandfather to the Northern Continent was as good as exiled.

\"Even so, my grandfather opened many branches and was pretty successful at it. The Blackwade clan also became a big influence in the Northern Continent since we have the backing of the Blackwade clan in Heavenly Continent.

\"Unfortunately, when I was born and started showing my extraordinary hearing, many influences started eyeing me. They started to suppress our family, and I was forced to flee to this continent.\"

Alex frowned, \"Why didn't you ask help from Heavenly Continent?\"

\"We asked, we asked many times, but no help arrived. I even tried to tell them about my hearing and can help them. Unfortunately, they did not care. My grandfather tried to go back to Heavenly Continent and asked for their help, but he was rejected in the front door.\"

\"… They did not care about their face? I mean the Blackwade Clan in Heavenly Continent.\"

\"I do not know.\" Song Yu shook her head. She said, \"I am telling you about this, not because I want your sympathy. I am just telling you because I worried about your future.

\"If they know about our relationship, they might also target you. So, I want to warn you about this first. Not as a blackwade clan's member or a merchant, but as your senior sister. I will try my best to help you, but we can't contact each other frequently. I want to keep our relationship as a secret.\"

\"… The way you said it is like we have some kind of illicit relationship that we need to hide no matter what.\" Alex said jokingly.

\"Be serious!\"

He remembered about him escaping to the Acacia Kingdom so he would not be in Zircodina Kingdom's radar. In that place, he started maturing and getting stronger. He looked at Song Yu, \"Do you want to change it? I mean, you can start from Sacred Continent to Heavenly Continent. And when you have enough strength, you can come back to the Northern Continent.\"

\"I tried. But they seemed to have a spy over there too. So, the only one I can escape to is this continent.\"

\"Do you still want to change your fate?\"

\"…\" Song Yu became silent for a few minutes. \"I wanted to. Back then, I still wanted to change my fate. But at this point, I just resign to my fate. It has been fifteen years since coming to this continent.

\"Back then, I did not escape from home just to flee them, but I wanted my family to rise again. If I was gone, they would not suppress our family. So, with me being here this entire time, I have given myself a few years of time to come up with a plan when I come back to the Northern Continent.\"

\"… You are coming back after the grand continent, right?\"

\"Yeah. I already told you about that.\" Song Yu nodded.

\"Well, good luck with that. I will try to help if I can, but the way I am now, I can't help you with anything.\" Alex said. Of course, he only considered helping her with her problem in the Northern Continent. As for her family problem, he did not intend to intrude any further.

After all, he was only her Junior Brother. He was not her man or any other intimate relationship, so Alex only logically helped her as far as he could. He did not know how far he could reach in a few years, so he could not say he would certainly help her. He only said he would try.

\"Uhm.\" Song Yu took a deep breath as she tried to change her mood, \"Anyway, do you need me for anything?\"

\"Well, I originally wanted to ask you to buy me Crystal Skin Pill ingredients. You said each set of ingredients is 2000 Spirit Stones, so this space ring has 600,000 Spirit Stones inside it. I will start refining again after I come back.\" Alex handed her a space ring. \"And another thing, I want to ask Elder Charya about the special region inside Nemu Forest where many undead around.\"

\"Have you asked Putri? She should know about it since she came from the Southern Kingdom?\" Song Yu asked while receiving Alex's space ring.

\"I have asked her. But it is only the basic information. If I want something more, she said I should ask Elder Charya since she had challenged that place in the past.\" Alex said.

Song Yu nodded. She indeed had heard about that.

\"Then, since we are finished here. You should ask her now.\"

\"Yeah.\" Alex nodded and started walking away. But before he left, he turned back. \"Senior Sister, as long as you do not give up, the chance is not zero. No matter how hopeless the situation will be, never give up.\"

Song Yu was astonished when she heard that. She smiled, \"Yes. You are right.\"

Alex then left.

Charya had been waiting for a while. It seemed his talk with Song Yu took a bit longer than expected.

\"I am sorry to make you wait, Elder Charya.\" Alex immediately apologized to her.

\"Don't mind it. I do not have anything to do anyway.\" Charya lied. She had received many Lightning Element Martial Arts from Maxwell. Of course, all of them were Heaven Tier Martial Arts or above. So she was pretty eager to learn it.

But she did not lie because of the benefit she received from Maxwell as well as Alex's identity as his disciple. She was always like this, whether Song Yu or Putri came to her.

\"I want to ask about the special region in Nemu Forest. I heard you had challenged it in the past.\"

\"Oh, that one. Have you asked Putri?\"

\"She has told me the general information.\"

\"Hmm…\" Charya closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, \"I only managed to enter a little bit before fleeing outside. Putri might already tell you about this. But from what I know, that place is not like that in the past.

\"Back then, a person was chased by an entire kingdom. Then, that person used a forbidden technique and turned him into an undead. I did not know why, but it seemed he was restrained in that place and could not go out.

\"The undead were the fallen warriors that were trying to kill him. Many influences had been trying to get inside, but no one was able to penetrate deeply. After all, there were around a thousand Martial Lords undead inside. And according to the rumor, that person was a Sword King.\"

Alex was astonished when he heard that. He never expected that there were that many Martial Lords inside that place. Luckily, he did not come inside back then. He should be able to challenge that place with his current strength. Of course, he would be accompanied by his spirits.

\"There is another thing that is not recorded. This is my personal experience. Back then, I felt a sharpness every time I stepped forward. I do not know what it was, but I could surely tell you this. It was dangerous.? Are you going to that place?\"

\"Yes.\"

Charya frowned, \"I think you should become the Martial Lord first before you go there.\"

\"I know. That is my plan. Do not worry about me. I won't be alone.\" Alex said mysteriously.

Charya could only nod her head as she thought Maxwell might already tell him something about it. Alex was not a person who would do reckless things… or not.

Alex's plan was using the True Spirit Body if they needed to escape from that place. It would be a perfect place to level up his Spirits. Back then, Leoz tried to enter that place, but he was blocked.

When he asked Putri about it, Putri told him that he could only enter that place when it was a full moon.
