Chapter 1252 Might Soon Run Out Of Luck
The duo soon stopped fooling around and soon left the Faction gates. Grey was invited into the Faction ground, but Klaus refused to allow him into the Faction grounds. He had been in the Faction for so long and was already tired of staying there. He was already planning on going for a trip, seeing Grey come over, he was elated.
….
Moon City.
"Where have you been? I"ve been trying to get to you for a long time now, but to no avail." Klaus complained as they sat down in the Inn.
"The Chaos Battlefield."
"Oh, I"ve heard of it. I didn"t know the Dawson Family had a portal that leads there. Coming from such a powerful Family must be something to take pride in." Klaus had heard of some of the secrets of the world. His high status in the Faction was no joke. He was highly favored by the Faction Leader, and even the previous Faction Leaders held him in high esteem.
Klaus might have an annoying and playful att.i.tude, but his talent was second to none when it came to ice abilities in the entire Moonlight Faction. According to how the Faction Leader accessed Klaus" talent, he said it was second to none in the entire Continent. That made him the number one person when it came to using ice in the world of Elementalists at the moment.
Technically, he can"t be called the number one person yet since he was still too weak for those top Ice Elementalists, but in terms of pure ability, he was above them.
"You"ve also heard of it?" Grey was astonished by Klaus" knowledge. From the looks of things, Klaus seems to know about more things than he did. The fact that he was the first to come in contact with the Aurora Continent, yet the last to have such knowledge about it was shocking.
But thinking about it, he rarely spent time with those powerhouses and focused more on training whenever he was not on a journey. The few times he spends with them, it was when they mostly have a mission for him. In the Pyrmond Faction, he had a high reputation thanks to the Faction Leader and who his parents were, but he barely spent time with the Faction Leader unless there was an issue. These are things Klaus would know when casually speaking with the Moonlight Faction Leader.
"Of course. I would"ve gone there already if not for the fact that we don"t have a portal, and getting a spot from the top Faction in the Middle Continent was not easy." Klaus answered matter-of-factly.
Grey suddenly recalled about Jonas, "Oh, remember that guy who came from Red City?"
"J… J something?" Klaus had completely forgotten about Jonas, it had been years, and he didn"t have a good relationship with him in the first place, so he forgot about him.
"Jonas, I saw him in the Chaos Battlefield. He"s already in the Elemental Venerable Plane. He should be close to the Peak now, if not at the Peak." Grey spoke of his encounter with Jonas in the Chaos Battlefield.
"He managed to get here. He sure is lucky. First he got that Fire Elementalist"s inheritance, and now he came here and got into a top Faction all due to luck." Klaus was surprised by his story, he then added with a slick smile, "Maybe I"m not the most favored person after all."
Grey almost wanted to beat him up when he heard him say this. Klaus was the only one who would use his luck as a medium to brag. Although he wasn"t lying, it was still quite infuriating listening to him say that.
"I was planning on going for a trip, and I decided you were the perfect person I should take with me." He told Klaus of his reason for coming to see him.
"Oh, what trip is that?" Klaus asked.
"Well, we"re going to annoy someone. My father gave me the mission, but I believe you"re the one best suited for it." Grey answered.
"You believed right. That"s what I was born to do." Klaus laughed in delight. He had been waiting for something like this for a while.
"Alright, so when are you ready to head out?" Grey asked, he knew Klaus would be more than ready to travel with him. No matter what Klaus was doing, he knew he would leave it and travel with him.
"We"ll make a stop on the way. There"s someone I want to see." Klaus said, giving Grey a knowing smile.
Grey looked at him with a confused expression, he didn"t understand what Klaus was insinuating with his facial expression.
"I"m going to see Luthera, I haven"t seen her in a while. I"ve been stuck in this place for so long. I barely get any chance to go out. And visitors aren"t allowed to see me on most occasions. You were an exception due to your reputation, they know they can"t turn you away." Klaus explained.
"Lu…" Grey paused, but then recalled the wedding Klaus took him to break up. "Oh her, I"ve almost forgotten about her. How is she doing?"
"We"ll find out when we get there." Klaus answered with a cheerful smile.
He was more cheerful compared to when he met with Grey.
"I didn"t know you could be this happy." Grey teased.
"F*ck off!" Klaus said in annoyance.
"Let"s head off then." Grey stood up.
Klaus rose with him and they headed out of the City.
"Don"t you plan on letting them know you"re heading out?" Grey couldn"t help but ask.
"Don"t worry about it. They know whenever you come I use it as an excuse to leave the Faction. I"ve been stuck there for months now, I"m not going there. If not, I"ll be trapped." Klaus rejected the idea immediately. ????????.???
Grey chuckled and followed behind Klaus. He started to speak about his encounter in the Chaos Battlefield since Klaus didn"t have anything else to say other than being kept in the Faction and training. Although, he did have a few opportunities to travel out, and there were a few stories, but they weren"t as thrilling as staying in the Chaos Battlefield for a year.
Klaus was exasperated as he listened to the words of Grey. When he heard about the Seelies, he was thrown off his feet. He had always been envious of Alice"s Seelie and wanted one. Unfortunately, he didn"t know where to get one. Well, he did now, but there was no saying how he would be able to get into the Chaos Battlefield, much less locate the place where the fissure was and where the Seelies resided.
Grey and Klaus spoke all through their journey to where the Braun Family was situated. The Region they were headed was close and would take them at least a week if they flew there at full speed, however, Grey and Klaus had tons of essence stones with them, so in three days, they used teleportation arrays and got there quicker.
The reason they spent so much had a lot to do with Klaus wanting Grey to cook for them. So they made stops to travel on their own on some occasions.
….
The Nexis Region.
This was the area the Braun Family was situated, and they resided in Devon City.
Although the duo had gotten to the Region, it would still take a few hours to get there from the City they appeared in. Klaus didn"t want them to appear there immediately, so they flew there.
….
Devon City.
Grey and Klaus arrived in the Braun Family Manor.
Klaus heaved a sigh of relief, it had been a while he came here and he was a bit nervous.
"Come on, you got this." Grey nudged him on his shoulder.
Klaus nodded and headed towards the gate.
When they stood there, he was surprised the guard there knew him and allowed them into the Manor.
He was escorted to the Manor"s visitors Hall. He was surprised Luthera"s father was the first to come over.
"Kid, I thought you"d forgotten about my daughter." Luthera"s father"s stern voice came from behind them.
Klaus shook his head, "Of course not, Uncle, how can I forget about her?"
"Good. Well, she"s not here at the moment. And I don"t think she will come anytime soon." Luthera"s father said.
Klaus raised a brow, "Is she okay?"
"Yes, but she went on a trip and hasn"t returned yet. She is supposed to come back, but they are facing some complications." Luthera"s father explained, "I"ve sent people over to help out, but no news yet."
"Where?" Klaus asked.
"Livcor Region." Luthera"s father answered.
"What a coincidence, we will be pa.s.sing that region on our trip." Grey turned to Klaus.
"I feel like at this rate, I"ll luck out soon enough." Klaus grinned.
Grey didn"t have any words for him and just focused on the tea they were just served. If he were to listen to Klaus speak about his luck, he would most likely beat him up.
