?


    Not to mention he needed the king''s help to go to thatpetition, and win it in the end. So he saw this as a little future investment, a pay up front for the services he was going to ask forter on from the king.


    "Let''s go, I believe you are going to a grand adventure," Sloth seemed interested and amused about this, but William evilly grinned.


    "I have to disappoint you, I''m just going to train at the Scorching Lands city."


    "Scorching Lands city? Why not remain here and train?!!" this wasn''t only Sloth''s words, but also Anjie''s.


    "I like it there, not here," William casually said, before starting to walk outside the fort, "let''s go, we have a long road ahead."


    As he walked away, the other two looked at each other then at him, before they followed. They didn''t say anything or object, as the two thought about something different.


    From the news she learnt from others about William, she knew how addicted he was to go out and fight monsters alone. It looked like a never dying habit, but today was an exception.


    The path towards the Scorching Lands city would take roughly one week. Without any dangers on the road, the three of them went smoothly towards there. The area was void of dark masters and monsters, and they just walked and talked all the way about different things.


    Sloth got used to having William by his side, even if he grew annoyed with this teenager from time to time, he still felt it wasn''t that bad. As for Anjie, she cherished every single moment with him, even slept in hisp whenever they rested. She tried to let them rest for many hours every day, but William objected to this.


    She knew once William returned to the Scorching Lands city, he''d close on himself and train. She wouldn''t have the same chance again, and she insisted on enjoying every single moment of it.


    "This city… It looks no smaller than the other one!!"


    It wasn''t just Sloth to get shocked by seeing the Scorching Lands city, but Anjie as well.


    "Are there such cities in the kingdom and we don''t know anything about their progress?!!" she looked at William, and as Sloth, she felt this young master was full of tons of surprises.


    The two already heard the story of the Scorching Lands from other team members who witnessed it happening. It was just a small fort, and William changed it to be like how it was today.


    Like Lara''s city, this ce also has three levels. Yet unlike Lara''s city, it looked more advanced and properly developed. After all, it took lots of years to grow up and develop.


    The outer section of the city was well developed and properly designed, and had aplete wall surrounding it. The city that William used to see for five years changed dramatically, and that was thanks to the storm he did back at Lara''s city.


    To the people of the world, these two cities turned out to be the heart of safety, the heaven on the ground. Many flooded Lara''s city, and many more came here as well.


    After all, Lara''s city was much newer than this city. The only problem they had was theck of portal area, something that greatly dyed their speed up progress. But that didn''t stop many toe here and enjoy the peace.


    "Let''s go, we''ll go towards the Fox guild main branch," William left this ce for a long time, and now he felt likeing back home.


    This ce held lots of good memories, it was the ce where he established his guild, the ce where he started walking down the path of being a celebrity and a legend.


    As he was away for long enough, he expected that no one would recognise him. But the moment he appeared close to the main gate of the city, and many shouted, pointed at him.


    And then it was like a bomb exploded here!


    "You sure have tons of admirers here," It took the three of them roughly a day to pass through the three levels of the city until they reached the main base of the guild at the central area, "You are famous despite being young, I''m jealous!"


    "Suck it, old man," William didn''t like this situation to be honest. He knew people admired what he did for them, what he did by killing the enemies everyone hated, but he still felt awkward whenever he was surrounded by all of these masters.


    "Don''t act humble, you are like a hero to everyone in the city," Anjie rolled her eyes, before looking around, "So… This is the main base of your guild? The ce where everything started?"


    "That''s true," he nodded, looking around. The ce was much more deste than the city outside, as all of the guild members got summoned to Lara''s city. There wasn''t a single person left here, and that made Sloth ask in doubt:


    "Isn''t it a bit dangerous to leave the base of your guild undefended?"


    "Who said it''s not?" William knew why Sloth got such a misunderstanding, "I''m inviting you to go out, and try toe inside using force if you may like."


    "Let me see why you are this confident then," Sloth was about to move before he stopped, turned to William before adding, "I know you are a sly fox! Come with me outside, so you won''t do anything while being here."


    "Fine," William shrugged, casually walking with the two of them out. When they got out there, they found lots of people gathered up, seemingly waiting for some sort of interesting show to happen or something.


    Seeing them made William recall every single time he came out, he''d always see such a scene here. People of the city were hoping for him to open the guild doors to ept more, and they always knew he was up to something big.
