Chapter 778: The strongest MT’s…….path
In a mere 6 hours, this technologically advanced private jet arrived at Sheyan's destination – Nice, Côte d'Azur International Airport .
Soon after, Sheyan met with Zi in a fictional-looking private manor .
Her dressing seemed rather ordinary and was composed of a simple and plain maroon dress, nonetheless, it failed to conceal that noble air of austerity emanating from her . Beside her, was a female with black square-shaped spectacles who was carrying some documents .
Instead, Sheyan's attention halted beside Zi, or accurately speaking, on the unimaginable sight of a 'beast' that would cause one to think of a lion .
Without a doubt, this was an enormous Tibetan Mastiff, and a purebred one .
The mastiff was lazily lying by her side . It swept a glance at Sheyan before lazily sinking its chin into its paws .
This Tibetan Mastiff was undoubtedly not the least bit interested in Sheyan .
As Zi and Sheyan stared at each other, for some unknown reason, an indescribable barrier seemed to congeal between them . The atmosphere was weird yet not awkward, as though each was unwilling to make the first statement which would be akin to admitted defeat .
Yet at this moment, Sheyan shot a cheeky smile as he mimicked a 'sandbag' carrying action . Zi immediately rolled her eyes which gave her secretary a massive shock . Of the seven years she had worked under Zi, she hadn't seen her with such a demeanor before .
Yet strangely, it was actually a male who caused her to do so .
Moreover, it was a sloppy young man that was slovenly dressed!
This man appeared rather mediocre and if thrown into a crowd, it would definitely be like a salt thrown into the ocean; vanishing instantaneously . Individuals who discharged more power in the financial group could be found anywhere .
Yet Zi treated him favourably . Not only did she dispatch a Gulfstream jet, she even exhibited such an expression . This secretary was utterly bewildered .
Observing the seemingly casual Sheyan, Zi's phoenix eyes revealed a hint of admiration and surprise . She reached out her hand and displayed a faint smile .
"Welcome to Darte Farm, my name is Su Lingzi . This is my secretary, Miss Anitta . "
Sheyan shook her hand which felt incredibly delicate and fleshy . His heart fluttered as he offered a slight smile .
"I am Sheyan . Thanks for the invite, the crew of The Elizabeth was extremely marvellous . "
Led by Miss Anitta, Sheyan and Zi soon arrived at a hillside by the side of this private garden . The green grass was like cushion and white fluffy clouds filled the blue sky . The majestic peaks of the french alps could be seen afar, precipitous cliffs emanating a striking grandeur . One could also gaze upon the famous blue beaches of Nice . It was truly a breath-taking scenery to behold . Sheyan loved the broadness and openness of this place . The threat of being eavesdropped by others here was nearly nonexistent .
Sheyan released a comfortable exhalation as he leaned back on a reclining couch of this hillside . He waited for Zi to speak here . Still, she calmly held a coffee mug while enjoying the wonderful scenery .
After a good long while, she finally broke the silence .
"You were daydreaming when I called you?"
Sheyan nodded and replied .
"Indeed . "
A glint of intrigue flickered in her phoenix-like eyes .
"A s . . . person like you should be planning his time to the finest seconds, I'm curious, you have periods of daydreaming too?"
Sheyan glanced back with a slight discomfort in his eyes .
"Before I answer you, answer this first . At the start of your sentence, why did you suddenly change your word?"
Puchi! She finally let loose a laughter and immediately cusped her mouth before replying .
"Fine fine, since you insist I will just tell you honestly . I meant to say scum! Ever since the Avatar World, I've been thinking; what kind of scum is this Seaman, therefore, once I saw you, I subconsciously associate you with that term . "
Sheyan folded his arms and didn't argue with her over that . Instead, he straightforwardly answered her earlier question .
"The reason I was daydreaming, was because I discovered something strange . My friends and kin, I suddenly feel awkwardly disconnected with them . It is as though they live their own lives and I can no longer assimilate in . "
Zi paused briefly before addressing him .
"You are wrong, it isn't that you are disconnected with them . Instead, after becoming a contestant, that will inevitably happen . "
Sheyan was an extremely intelligent person . After some pondering, he immediately deciphered an underlying meaning . His face turned unsightly as he became abruptly silent . Zi continued .
"Can you assimilate into the life and activities of a bird? Can you reach a deeper level of conversation and interaction with a fish? Of course not . The paradigm of their lives and yours is completely different, how can you achieve those?"
Sheyan sighed deeply and responded despondently .
"Indeed, what you say is right . Ever since becoming a contestant, I've trodden further and further away from the path of humanity . There isn't a vast difference between my kin and I now, but if this progresses on . . . . . there will come a day, that cruel reality will happen . "
Zi leaned back in silence before speaking .
"You've just now discovered it, I've already been feeling this for a very long time . "
The atmosphere momentarily turned solemn; it wasn't awkward or cold, just particularly silent .
Even without the exchange of words, the emotions of each other could still be felt between them . This was truly a mystifying experience .
After a very very long time, or perhaps just a quick instance, Zi gently announced .
"I have three reasons for inviting you here . "
Sheyan nodded .
"Go on . "
Zi glanced at him and continued .
"Do you know why Zeus is constantly unresigned in regards to me?"
Sheyan wasn't expecting her to raise this topic . After pondering a little, he laughed heartily .
"Of course, your unreachable charm has brought him down to your jeans . "
Zi rolled her eyes and continued .
"I don't wear jeans . Whatever, he definitely wants me to merge into his party, otherwise, he will definitely kill me . This is because I possess a secret, a monumental secret that involves an MT! Zeus only knows a fraction of this secret, therefore, unless necessary, he is definitely unwilling to confront me directly! Because, his wrong understanding has misled him into thinking, that I hold the might to bring him down with me!"
Sheyan quietly listened, knowing that what Zi was saying was surely related to him .
Zi glanced at Sheyan and continued .
"According to what I know, there are many forms of MT . Zeus' MT prowess originates from the earth and is a nature element MT, while Skull's MT prowess originates from metal and equipments; a metal element MT . Apart from that, I've seen before a spirit element MT, whose MT prowess comes from the spirit . His HP may be similar to ordinary Growth-Hunters, but is supplemented with otherworldly defensive and survivability methods; constituting fully from his MP guard . . . . . "
"However, this secret that I've grasped, points to the legendary strongest path of an MT!"
"Strongest . . . … . MT's path?" Sheyan replied emotionally .
"Yes . " Zi resolutely declared . "Nevertheless, it is merely a path . To become the strongest known MT, that will depend on whether the individual is capable enough to reach the end of this path . "
Sheyan squinted his eyes at Zi and said .
"So, you intend to transmit this secret to me?"
Zi nodded .
"Indeed . "
Then, she raised her palm and snapped her fingers . Immediately, that incredibly fierce Tibetan Mastiff slowly trudged over . Zi rubbed his head gently before retrieving an exceedingly ordinary looking bead from its collar .
"This is it . Oh right, when I slew that Wild Dog of Skull Party, I acquired a silver storyline grade item – 'Bioguard Rite' . This is useless to me, I will mail it to you guys after returning to the realm . "
Sheyan then received the bead . There was nothing special about it just that it was oddly heavy . Zi then advised seriously .
"When you possess sufficient strength, it will naturally reveal itself . "
Sheyan attempted to store the bead in his personal storage . Instead, the nightmare realm transmitted a list of notifications .
[ You obtained an unknown object: ????? ]
[ Unable to store object in personal storage ]
[ You possess insufficient strength to obtain detailed information on this object ]
[ You possess insufficient strength . Unable to bring object into a nightmare realm or world ]
[ Please quickly promote to become a Growth-Hunter and satisfy the basic requirement of appraising this object ]
After seeing the notifications, Sheyan became aware that this object wasn't mere junk . He spoke with a solemn tone .
"Thank you . "
Zi offered a gentle smile .
"Helping you is akin to helping myself . The next thing is regarding that soul equipment I acquired, 'Memory Pen' . To receive a perfect score for this real world mission, I will need your help . Are you free?"
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied .
"Can I say no?"
Her brows slanted upwards as she replied with a smile that was not a smile .
"You can try . "
Sheyan shamelessly withdrew at once .
"Fine, I won't try . "
"The third thing . " Zi gazed into his eyes and earnestly uttered . "I'm leaving Party Ace . "
