"That priest named Kevin, he will surely come for us." Jin Rou said, "With how things turned out today, he will not let this pass."
Tiresh was also aware of this. She appeared unnoticed but she knew what was going on. That priest was sort of a madman that wouldn't let even a slight grievance go, "What shall we do then?"
She was worried because Jin Rou wasn't in the state when he could fight. Tiresh would just be a fish on the chopping board so Jin Rou was her only hope to survive. After all, she want familiar of the place and she had no one to ask for support here.
"Just let him. We cannot stop him no matter what." Jin Rou said, "Besides, you don't have to worry about anything. Although I can't still fight due to this poison, I can guarantee that we can escape."
Indeed. Although Jin Rou was poisoned, it didn't mean that he would appear weak and fragile. He still had the luxury to escape whenever he wanted to.
"By the way, where are we going?" Jin Rou asked. They were walking slowly towards east and they were walking on a small road with tall grasses in between.
"I have memorized the map. This is where leads to Oblivion Forest." Tiresh said, "However, it will take days before us to reach it. Perhaps 2 or 3 days."
"That's long." Jin Rou said. He was suffering from this poison, and he had to suffer for a few days more? He didn't like it and said, "If you can determine the coordinates, tell me. I cannot wait for that long."
Tiresh tried to remember the exact location of the forest according to the map. Then, "I determined it. It's 235, 6391 of eastwest of this place."
Jin Rou activated his door and tracked the coordinates. Then he opened the door and said, "Let's go. This is where it leads to the forest."
After Jin Rou entered, Tiresh followed suit. She didn't have the time to be amazed as everything was urgent.
"Whoosh!" It only take a few seconds for Jin Rou and Tiresh to reach the certain forest they needed.
Oblivion Forest. It was a sacred place of the Heaven's Continent where people usually go for enlightenment. There was also a circulating rumor that this forest was created by a Heavenly in the past, to commemorate the death of her husband, Oblivion Heavenly, albeit no one knew who she was.
This was a popular place for all ages and it wasn't restricted by any rules in the past. However, it changed now
There was a group of people from the Church guarding the entrance of the Oblivion Forest and only those who was a faithful believer of the Church would be allowed to enter.
Many people raised their complaints on this. However, all of them received death without burial. The Church was really making a stand for their move right now.
"These freaks..." Tiresh gritted her teeth in frustration. To think that they would restrict this place, "They're really trying to make things difficult for us."
Jin Rou was silent. He had also expected this, but it happened so soon. It looked like the Church was going to go all out soon to get them.
"What do we do?" Tiresh was panicking. They just met the people from the Church not more than an hour ago, yet they already mobilized people here to restrict the sacred place. Their power and connections were so vast, for real.
"Just calm down, will you?" Jin Rou could feel the tense nerves of the knight. Thus, he wanted her to relax, "It's okay if it's like this. They won't stop us from entering the forest."
This people dared to antagonize him, a universal law and almost a god of this place? He might be poisoned, but he wasn't going to let these church folks bully him.
Although Jin Rou couldn't fight, he could summon his familiar beasts to do the action. They all got stronger along with Jin Rou, and if he released all of them, they could seize back the forest from the Church.
Only, if it was possible. Jin Rou knew he had a limit to which he could summon because of the poison trying to rampage in his body.
"Brother, are you going to enter the forest, too?" While Jin Rou was contemplating, a young man entered his sight with a smile. His clothes were a bit like of a beggar. However, his appearance was decent, "I am looking for someone to go with to the forest. I have been asking out people but they all rejected me. Hehe."
Jin Rou examined this young man. He looked like a bumpkin who came from the countryside and now decided to explore the city. He looked ignorant and all, but there was one important thing that one should notice.
"Ancient Emperor." Jin Rou could detect it. This young man was an emperor, a lowkey one at that.
Even in this continent, emperors were highly valued. After all, they were only next from heavenlies. Just like the Endless Forest Continent, Heaven's Continent's power-measure was the total count of emperors the powerhouse had made. Of course, not all sects and clans had this power-measure.
"If you introduce yourself properly, many people would flock around you and ask for your cooperation." Jin Rou said.
"Well..." The young man smiled awkwardly, "I'm not that type to show off, and it's uncomfortable for me. So it's better this way, to remain unknown and unnoticed here. After all, I'm new in this place."
"Very well, you can come with us." Jin Rou answered. With an emperor in tow, he could conserve his energy. It would be one less trouble for him, "However, we don't have permission to enter the place, so we are stuck here."
"Don't worry about that. I have gotten a permission a while ago from doing a high priest a favor." The young man said, "By the way, my name is Lucas. How about you two?"
