The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 990

Chapter 990: Legend Chapter 990: Legend Cain’s smile widened as he nodded toward Rellin, and his eyes wandered around the people gazing at him as if he were a divine entity before looking back at the old man with a meaningful gaze.

“I think it should be better for us to speak in private.

Would you like to accompany me to my domains?” Rellin understood Cain’s signal and nodded.  It was all the better for Rellin to move their exchange to a place without people.

If the young man was indeed a friend, then the sky above the fortress was not a place to talk, and if he were an enemy, it would be easier to fight against him where they would not cause so much collateral damage.

Cain noticed the wariness in Rellin’s eyes, a clear sign that the man was ready to strike if he did anything odd.

But Cain was confident he could run away with his life, and in the worst-case scenario, he would simply transport his willpower back to Aether.

After that small exchange, the duo flashed into the castle, soon reaching a large hall full of majestic structures.

It would have certainly been imposing for ordinary people, but it should not have affected Cain as he had built the Babel Tower, a structure whose might and grandeur were transcendental.

Yet, flashes of awe and shock appeared in Cain’s eyes as he looked around, seemingly stunned by the extravagance and majesty of the castle.

His reaction was no different than a country bumpkin who had never seen a castle before.

Confusion appeared in Rallin’s eyes when he saw Cain’s reaction.

He felt immense power running through the young man’s body, along with vibrant vitality.

Power was equal to wealth and influence, yet this young man seemed to have no notion of such concepts, confusing the old powerhouse from the Arshop Dukedom.

The duo continued walking until they were in the center of the hall, Rellin sitting on a white couch before indicating for Cain to do the same in the seat in front of him, which the young man did.

After that, Rellin and Cain gazed at each other, neither uttering the first words as they analyzed the other party.

Eventually, the old man sighed before speaking in a sharp voice, his eyes growing powerful.

“The Arshop Dukedom is happy to receive friends, but we are not fond of trespassers, and you appeared out of nowhere, crossing our borders without our knowledge.” Cain stared at the old man, and he clasped his hands before performing a small bow.

“I am sorry if I have been rude.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea where we are or the political elements of this place.” Rellin’s eyes widened as he heard that, and the sharpness in his eyes grew stronger as the energy inside his body slowly began to rise.

“Where do you come from?” A meaningful light appeared in Cain’s eyes as he detected how Rellin raised his guard.

It seemed outsiders were not welcome in the Trinity Kingdom, but he did not lose focus.

“I honestly don’t know.

Since I have memory, I have been training with my master in a large grotto.

Yesterday, my master brought me to this place and suddenly vanished.” Rellin could not help but frown as he heard those words.

Had the young man said he had amnesia, there was no way he would have believed that.

The story about the master was undoubtedly odd, but there were all sorts of strange people in the world.

“Could you tell me your master’s name?” The old man still did not fully believe Cain’s words, but since the other party did not seem to have any ill will, there was no harm in trying to learn a little more.

“My master never told me his real name.” As he reached this point, an intriguing and enigmatic light appeared on Cain’s face as he carried on.

“However, I always refer to him as the Saint of Killers.” The title was not something Cain just came up with, as it was the military code name he had in the Lightning Imperial Fortress.

Cain’s goal in the Dream World was to find Beelze, but he had no idea what her identity would be in this place.

That was why he would take the role of a nomadic cultivator searching for his strange master, the Saint of Killers.

If Beelze was truly here and she heard the story about someone named Cain searching for the Saint of Killers, she should be able to deduce things and make their encounter much easier.

Rellin’s eyes twitched as he heard such a strange title.

Of course, the old man would not mock the young man’s master and just nodded before a contemplative light appeared in his eyes.

“So I guess you are searching for your master, but that still doesn’t explain why you came to my fortress.” “I again apologize if I offended you.

I was simply eager to learn more about the place I find myself in.

When I saw this fortress in the distance, I assumed there would be people here with a deep understanding of this place.” Cain’s smile was genuine as he revealed his intent, his curiosity shining through.

Rellin stared at Cain for a moment as he understood the young man was just after knowledge, which was not hard to give, but there was something he wanted to learn first.

“Could you tell me your Level?” “Level?” Cain was confused by those words and did not try to hide it.

“I am sorry, but I do not understand what you mean.

Master only taught me how to infuse energy into my energy pool, and that is it.” Rellin was a little surprised that the young man did not understand such a basic concept, which made him trust his story a little more.

“Level refers to your cultivation stage.

You might have heard small bursts inside your energy pool from time to time; each represents an ascension in your Level.” A meaningful light appeared in Cain as he came to understand more about the strength system of this world, and after a small recollection, he answered the old man’s words.

“If that is the case, I am Level 20.” Awe and a flash of envy appeared in the eyes of the old man as he heard those words, “A Sky Lord at such a young age.

Your talent must be immense enough to allow you to become a Legend.” While Sky Lord and Legend were foreign terms for Cain, it was pretty obvious that was the name of the cultivation stages of this world, just like Wave King and Divine Ascension were in Aether.

Cain also noticed Rellin’s envy but did not think too much of it, as it was a normal reaction in some people, especially those whose path was stagnant and could no longer advance.  “Master told me I should not worry about Levels until I filled my energy pool to its limit, so I could also use the help of a sage like you when it comes to cultivation knowledge,” Cain spoke in a friendly tone before performing a small bow.

“It would be a great honor to have a Duke as a teacher.” A smile began to form on Rellin’s face as he heard those words and gazed at the young man in front of him.

Although being a Legend was not possible for him, teaching one would give him a great reputation and improve the foothold of the Arshop Dukedom in the kingdom.

The desire and greed for status and the great benefits he could obtain were enough to dispel Rellin’s doubts and worries, no longer caring about Cain’s mysterious and strange background.

“Hahaha, it would be a pleasure for this old bag of bones to teach such a young hero full of potential like you.” Rellin’s attitude improved significantly, showing a radiant smile toward Cain.

“I greatly appreciate your help, and I will do my best to return the favor in the future.” Cain smiled and nodded to the man, his words sincere.

After all, he had no animosity with these people and had always been someone who repays his debts.

Rellin stared at Cain for a moment as he tried to decipher the best way to teach the young man.

“Hmm, before starting with the cultivation knowledge, it would be best for you to learn more about the world and the kingdom’s history.

Please accompany me to the library.” Cain smiled as he heard the old man’s words.

Cultivation knowledge was important, but world knowledge was even more critical for him.

After all, if he learned enough about this world, he might find a way to bring his true body here.

Not wasting time, Rellin and Cain left the majestic hall and went down a set of large stairs, soon reaching a massive room with hundreds of shelves and thousands of books.
