Chapter 1147: What are Ruins?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tatum Munoz understood Braydon Neal’s intention, and everything in the 14th ancient city remained unchanged.
Braydon came here to cultivate and enhance his strength, not to waste time managing the ancient city.
In the depths of the ancient city, there was a grand palace where the royal guards were stationed. Above the entrance to the grand palace complex hung a plaque: Yanagi Residence – Finley Yanagi’s residence. When he was free, Finley would stay here.
The sons of the Northern Army gathered in the hall of the palace, surrounding a ma.s.sive sand table. Luther Carden, sitting in a wheelchair, observed the super-sized sand table covering almost a thousand square meters in front of him.
The sons of the Northern Army were all from a military background, especially the core high-level members of the Northern Army. They had been trained to read sand tables since they were young.
Luther, sitting in a wheelchair, softly said, “The geographical area of the 14th ruin is probably larger than we imagined. I really don’t know which predecessor created this world.”
“With such a large geographical area, coupled with rich spiritual energy, there must be many great treasures.”
Dressed in white, Hendrix Bailey revealed a glint of light in his eyes. Although the wilderness was dangerous, there were undoubtedly great treasures there. These things were indispensable for martial artists.
Sapphire Neal and Jayven Neal were also present. Skylar Neal was the one who brought them in.
Skylar looked at the entrance and said softly, “Braydon is here.”
Everyone stood up.
It was important to note that the people entering the ruins represented all the martial artists of the entire Hansworth delegation, a total of a thousand people. Settling down a thousand people at once was a difficult task for outsiders, but for Tatum, it was not a problem.
Braydon arrived in the hall, saw everyone present, and whispered, “Do you all have a good understanding of the ruins?”
“More or less. The geographical area here is equivalent to three times that of Hansworth.”
Luther answered.
Tatum shook his head and said, “The topography on the sand table is not the entire map of the 14th ruin.”
“What do you mean?”
Westley Hader asked.
Tatum explained more clearly, “There are many unexplored areas, areas that are too far or too dangerous to explore, known as unknown territories that are not marked on the sand table.”
“The boundaries of the ruins haven’t been completely explored yet?”
Even Jonah Shaw was surprised.
If that was the case, the 14th ruin was way too large.
Sapphire whispered, “There are numerous ruins in the South Pole, maybe thousands or even tens of thousands. We haven’t fully explored them yet. However, for martial artists, the higher the rank of the ruin, the more dangerous it is, the larger the boundary, and the more abundant the resources.
“This ruin, ranked 14th, is the highest-ranked ruin controlled by the 72 giants in the south Pole.
“At the same time, among the top 100 ruins, in the past century, only three have been opened by global giants.
“One is controlled by Uncle Yanagi.
“Another one is controlled by Grandpa.
“The last one is controlled by another giant.
“How these top-ranking ruins are opened is a secret held by the various giants, unknown to outsiders.”
Sapphire mentioned that the ruins were also different.
As for Braydon, he listened quietly, knowing how the 14th ruin was opened – it was opened with his blood.
Jayven whispered, “The 14th ruin nurtures unique things that other ruins don’t have. Basically, each ruin harbors special spirit herbs and rare materials.”
“This place is truly a paradise for martial artists,” commented Braydon lightly.
Standing nearby, Tatum said softly, “Young Master, for your daily cultivation needs, feel free to access the treasure vault.”
“Where is the treasure vault?”
A seemingly simple and naive figure suddenly appeared, holding a water radish in his hand and gnawing on it ceaselessly. This was undoubtedly a spirit herb.
Tatum was about to speak when Braydon, with hands behind his back, said softly, “I don’t need spirit herbs for cultivation.”
“Of course, you don’t need them, but we do!”
Channing Lestrange rolled his eyes, knowing that Braydon had almost reached the fifth level of the Great Void of Kylo Art. Currently, Braydon was at the fourth level, allowing him to condense a wisp of large purple Qi every day. This wisp would increase his vitality by a thousand Na with no side effects. The effect of purple Qi surpa.s.sed that of spirit herbs, and no spirit herb could provide the daily increase of a thousand Na of vitality that Braydon could gain.
Braydon said softly, “The things in the treasure vault of the 14th ancient city were left by Teacher for the royal guards.
“The royal guards of 20,000 people consume a tremendous amount during daily cultivation. Since you are the protectors of this ancient city, Jonah and the others shouldn’t use your resources for their cultivation. If they need something, they can find it in the wilderness.”
Braydon wouldn’t let the Northern Army brothers develop a habit of living off the land without contributing.
Moreover, there were some things that Braydon couldn’t say much about.
Finley definitely had his own ambitions and plans.
The Northern Army brothers were p.a.w.ns in the hands of that teacher.
Sometimes, Braydon instinctively felt wary.
Braydon had always wanted to protect these younger brothers.
Whatever Finley’s plan was, Braydon didn’t want to comment on it.
But the Northern Army brothers were a bottom line that could not be crossed.
If the last thing Finley did require the lives of the Northern Army brothers, that would be the day Braydon and Finley become enemies!
When teacher and student become enemies, they become adversaries!
Finley wouldn’t kill Braydon.
Braydon wouldn’t kill this teacher who was like a father to him.
But their relationship was bound to change.
Braydon really didn’t want to see what would happen in the future.
If it really came to that day.
The debt of grat.i.tude owed by the Northern Army brothers would need to be repaid!
Just like now, if they were to use the spirit herbs of the 14th ancient city, as long as they used one, the owed debt of grat.i.tude must be repaid!
The heavier the owed grat.i.tude, the harder it would be to repay it in the end.
Braydon understood his teacher’s character, which was not only sinister but also somewhat cunning.
n.o.body was perfect, including Braydon himself.
People were born with flaws.
It was precisely because of these imperfections that they were humans.
A perfect person without flaws was a dead person!
A dead person lay buried underground, not doing anything, not making mistakes, and was naturally perfect without flaws.
Braydon’s gaze fell on Luther, then on Syrus Yanagi and the others.
These bad eggs understood Braydon’s meaning.
Holding the Black Dragon Spear, Syrus said boldly, “Going to the wilderness to get spirit herbs is not that important. I want to see what terrifying place this is that hurt Uncle Shayan to such an extent!”
Uncle Shayan was Shayan Zehner!
Braydon’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “Keep a close eye on the wonders of heaven and earth in the wilderness. If you find something that can save Uncle Shayan, tell me, and I’ll go get it personally.”
“Yes, sir!”
The entire Hansworth delegation of a thousand people stood up, bowing to Braydon.
