INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 – Unknown Future
“Elder Zongfa, one last question. What happened to the 8 Grand Elders?”

“About them… Most of them had died in the past centuries or so. Only three of them still remain.”

“Where are they?”

“I don’t know about the first two but the last one is right in this building as we speak. My master Grand Elder, Halflin. The Wood Cultivator.”

“So he must be… I don’t know a few thousand years old then, right?”

“Hahaha, Yes he is. But whenever someone mentions that to him, he becomes angry and says stuff like he may be older then us but his soul is much younger than ours.”

Just like that we talked for a while as I asked a few more questions before the time came for me to finally leave here.

“Thank you, Elder Zongfa for answering many questions of mine and helping me broaden my knowledge.” I bowed as I said that.

Zongfa nodded as he acknowledged my bow and said to me “Hmm… Take this with you.”

He gave me a white envelope with something in it and told me “That is my recommendation letter. If you ever want to get admitted in the academy than you can use that to your advantage.”

“However… You can never open that letter EVER. If you do then I’ll know it and you won’t get my recommendation.”

I didn’t understand the secrecy of hiding what was underneath but I still nodded as I said “Thank you Elder Zongfa for your recommendation and I promise you that I won’t ever open this letter.”

Zongfa nodded as he heard my words “Good, good. Now go and prepare yourself for the future, Young William.”

I bowed to him one last time then I left.

After I had gone down towards the main hall, Zongfa looked at William with eyes that had a specific meaning to them as his face started becoming colder and colder.

From beside him a voice suddenly spoke up.

“Oho! What do I see here!”

Hearing the voice Zongfa was startled before he recognized the person whom the voice belonged to and bowed deeply towards that person and said “Good Evening to you, Master. I heard that you were in deep cultivation for a few months.”

The unknown person was the Wood Cultivator, Halflin. He had a very ordinary face and his clothes made him look like a normal farmer.

He nodded and said to Zongfa “Hmm, I was in a deep cultivation but something very strange woke me up from it.”

Wanting to know what it was that broke the cultivation of his master, Zongfa asked “What was it master, that broke your cultivation.”

“Well it was you actually… more specifically it was the child from downstairs.”

“… What do you mean by that, Master?”

“Well, of course. I would get attracted by what you did. Anybody would have been attracted if they knew that the cultivator of the Cold Mountains was actually interested in someone other than cultivation.”

Zongfa smiled ever so slightly as he looked back at the figure of William trying to get out of the hall filled with a lot of people.

“It was very interesting to know that there was someone else who actually had that same affinity. So I got curious and struck up a conversation with him.”

“So curious that you gave him your recommendation… or more like a test.”

Zongfa smiled as he got caught red handed by his master.

“Haha, it seems nothing does escape from you master. I just wanted to see if he had the will power to actually accomplish anything or not.”

“Yes, that is true and with that dual affinity with him, Whether he wants it or not he will get caught up in the web of manipulation of all four kingdoms.”

“Yes, I worry about that too. IF only someone was here who could help him get closer with his affinities.” Zongfa said as he looked at his master through the corner of his eyes.

Halflin saw the look his student was giving him but he shook his head and said “No I can’t train him in those affinities. I don’t have any experience nor know anything much about them. If master were still here… then she could have made him like her.”

“You mean a Chaos Harbinger! I don’t think so master, not with that kid having such a low constitution.”

“Yes that might be true, but if you had checked more thoroughly than you would have noticed that the boy had already mastered both of the affinities.”

“WHAT! How can that be possible! How can anyone master the two most opposite affinities at the same time! And so fast too!” Zongfa was clearly shocked by what his master had said.

“Hoho, yes that is one would generally ask but he had done something that was only done by one person in this whole world in so many years.” Halflin said with a strange glint in his eyes.

“But still even if he had practiced them I don’t think he will able to get to a much higher level with that awful constitution of his… At most he might get to level SIX or SEVEN and that too if he was lucky enough to do so.”

Halflin came forward and leaned against the railing as he saw William leave the Alliance Federation and said “I wouldn’t worry too much about that… Something tells me that he will be able to go to a level much higher than that.”

Both of them had different expressions on their faces as they looked at William venturing out to a journey that was filled with uncertainties.

[ Flashback Ends ]

And like that after I had talked to Elder Zongfa, I got down and went towards the direction where the clerk pointed to me and got outside to find a bus waiting for many people who wanted to go to the Wiseburn Kingdom.

I got inside and after traveling for a while the bus left me in an unknown place at the side of the road as I looked at the beautiful scenery in front of me and came back to the thought I was having before.

‘And that is how I have been stranded in this unknown place… not unknown like a bad area or there wasn’t people here but a place which was just unknown to me.’

‘But look at the so many beautiful things over here that could help people go through everything in their daily life. Cleaning AI, Traffic AI, Navigation AI and many more where that came from.’

‘Yes this place might be even more better in quality than the Tudor Kingdom.’

‘But for now I should look for where I need to put my priorities first.’

‘What should I do first then? Should I look for a place to stay for temporarily like a hotel or should I find something permanent?’

‘For now why don’t I find something temporary and when I get a good feel of this place than I will find something permanent.’ I ended my thought as I came to my decision and was out to look for a Realtor.

But I didn’t know where one was so I came to a bulletin board that also acted like a smart tv and used the navigation system to find a realtor that was in the area around me.
