For the next ten minutes, Ed stared at the recorder given to him. After entering the emperor's camp,he told Kang to record whatever conversation he might have that might relate to him. Since they camped at the edge of the wilderness, and the first prince being present,he deduced it was something important
Seeing that the recorder was in his hands, there must have been a discussion about him
My main concern is why they set up a camp close to the wilderness... What plans do they have?
Ed plays the recorder while riding on a carriage provided by Sally. Although they didn't meet physically,they have been interactions thanks to the black coats.
While the recorder played, Ed listened carefully. The next words that came out were unruly
{How's the preparation?}
{It's going well... The lantern valley would open in six months}
{Six months huh...}
{What about preparation for the link}
{We're prepared to link the link to the lantern valley gate at your signal... We'll do that after the launch of their game. We also need to prepare for the arrival of the children of stone artifact}
{Will do—
Huh?... what?, they're trying to link the lantern valley gate to the link?
"This is serious..."
Ed stared blankly at the recorder as it continued to play. The remaining conversation dimmed in his ear as he tries to process what he heard. Seconds later, Ed puts his hands over his head and thinks. His countenance had already changed to a serious look as tossed the recorder to one side. While he thought, they arrived at the link back to the human world
First of all,who created the link?
The link. Something he only heard off while in the game world. From what he remembers, it was something that has been planned for a long time
After crossing, the carriage is sent back with a black coat while he walked to xing waiting for him.
"Oh hey there..."
Ed greets her while walking to his car
"Ah...are you going now?"
"Home... I'm tired."
Ed stops as he was about to enter his car and turns to her.
"Are you enrolling in the academy too?"
"Yeah... but, never mind"
Ed removes the mask from his face and smiles before entering the car. Seconds later,he drives off. Xing smiled with a mixture of tears in her eyes after seeing his face
"Urgh... you're handsome to top it off,no fair... but I might not be able to see you again"
Xing enters the car, and the driver questions her.
"Where to ma'am?"
"To the airport... I've a flight back to China"
Xing takes a second look at the case she got from Ed's pocket and smiled
The next time we meet, you're mine...
***
Ed got back to the house and went straight to his room while escorted by Melissa. Since coming into the manor, he didn't say a word until he got to the room.
"Melissa..."
"Yes, young master..."
He glanced over the room and realized that all the things he might need are already prepared and set for him. Ed turns and pats her on the head.
"Thank you..."
Melissa's face flushed, but she hid it from him so he didn't notice.
"Did you get the files?"
"Yes, but I got attacked by people from the gold association."
"So they caught on..."
Gold association,is a popular gaming company that recently began production of vitual reality games after colluding with the game organization;glavius that created the new dawn. All is to discover the person who created the link and the mention of the game launch.
I guess they still have a game in production after their recent drop... wait!
Ed rushed to his table and went through the files. Through out the night, he studied the files closely while Melissa stayed with him to help out. At 3 am in the morning, Ed found what he was looking for
"Here is it... game launch document, name: the new dawn. Release date,×× ×× ××"
What?!, the new dawn is still going to run?...if I remember correctly, Sally mentioned my world being a game world. But... there's no information on who created it
Just then,a system screen popped up
Hint:use the resolve manual to train.>
The resolve manual is something that is held by each top families,to help them familiarize with the weapons from the resolve collection. Apart from these collections, there are two other rare collections yet to be discovered
Ed took a final look at the files before sorting them. Normally,it was something he shouldn't have known if he didn't see the information on Sally's table.
Ed sighed and bent his head to Melissa, standing behind him. He smiled at her and rose to his feet
"When is the entrance ceremony?"
"In two weeks time..."
Ed walked out of the room with Melissa. When they got to the inventory,he stopped and turned to her.
"I'll be in here till the time for the entrance ceremony."
Days passed by without anyone seeing Ed in the manor. Since Melissa had reported to Sally,she didn't bother looking for him. A day to the entrance ceremony, something unexpected happened
Ed woke up in a void realm, with chains on his body. Different system screen popped up in front of him while he struggled to release himself
After struggling for a while, Ed decided to read what was in front of him.
If conditions are met, user can use [protectors flame] through a link>
Whoa...I get to use sudden link?!... but,who is zero?
*Yo*
Ed raised his head and stared into the void, trying to deduce where the voice came from. Just then,a cat walked up to him and looked him in the eye.
