Chapter 1247: Abandoned City

"What the hell? Why did you just send him away? Did he just use a space element earlier?" Melissa grabbed Vivian’s shoulder, demanding an explanation. "Isn’t he supposed to have a time element?"

"That’s right." Bella nodded. She, too, wanted to hear this secret. This might be a way to solve Evelyn’s problem.

Then again, Nathan liked Evelyn, so he might have shared the secret with Evelyn.

On the other hand, Vivian only shook her head. "I know nothing about this."

"You definitely know something." Melissa gritted her teeth. "Do you understand what this means? Multiple lifebound contracts. This is something that the world has never seen before. Even Senior Evelyn can’t calm down the conflict between the two elements."

Vivian shook her head. "Although I can’t tell you anything because it’s his secret, I can tell you two things. First of all, I don’t know anything about his second element because he has never told me about it.

"Regarding the multiple lifebound contracts, all I can say is that he doesn’t have a single lifebound contract.

"The only people I can share this secret with are probably people like Selena." Vivian shook her head. "Of course, a bitch like you shouldn’t go near my disciple."

"You... I’m going down with you!" Melissa roared as the two ended up fighting again.

On the other hand, Bella looked down, falling into a deep thought. If Nathan was able to have two elements without a single lifebound contract, it was definitely a method that no one had ever heard of before.

If Evelyn had known about this, she probably would have solved her problem.

Still, Evelyn had tried a lot of things to quell the chaotic elements in her body, but to no avail.

So, Nathan might have used a different trick, but it might not be effective for Evelyn.

Nevertheless, it was Nathan’s secret. If he were going to share it, he would tell Evelyn directly.

’Still, two elements... I am not his match anymore...’ Bella had never thought that the weak summoner from back then had grown this much in less than a year.

Something started to change inside her. On the one hand, she truly needed to become stronger. On the other hand, she thought she had given up on getting stronger because she saw no point in doing it.

After all, she had been supporting people from behind, and she thought she would continue to do just that.

But thanks to reaching this land, another thought crept into her mind. The desire to get stronger.

’Maybe I should really get stronger again. Although it’s a bit too late, I should catch up to Melissa at least...’ Bella became a bit more determined.

She didn’t know how far she could go, but with the manual, she might be able to go pretty far.

Nevertheless, she finally decided to take that step.

Meanwhile, the person who caused that trouble had been using his teleportation multiple times. He couldn’t teleport as far as Evelyn yet, but his distance had gradually increased as he gained a bit more control over his new element.

It took him only an hour to reach the city called Ruelle. It was a city under the count of the empire, but it wasn’t the main city of the county.

As a result, it looked a bit desolate. The stores had been ransacked, and the city had grown lawless.

Even though they had gotten some supplies from the count, it was clear that the city was close to being abandoned.

When he entered the city, he could see prying eyes all over the place. His instinct was telling him that he would be attacked the moment he lowered his guard.

’Is that doctor really here?’ Nathan asked inwardly.

’I don’t know. I can’t sense him unless he has a powerful strength. If he doesn’t make me feel threatened even a little bit, then I won’t know.

’Then again, if he is weak, he will be the same as these people who are thinking about harming you. I guess you have no choice but to scout the area and find him personally.’

’I guess so.’ Nathan glanced up as Jinwu was already flying in the sky, searching for the doctor.

’Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of information about that doctor. He was once famous, but after that betrayal, not much information about the doctor came out.

’All we know is that he’s a man in his forties. He has brown hair and black eyes. No one knows whether he stays as a doctor or not.

’But I don’t think he stays as one. If yes, he won’t be here. After all, a doctor will just get taken advantage of...’

Fenrir thought of another possibility. ’Or he is being taken advantage of right now. Don’t you think this place is similar to one of those PvP servers... I mean, the lawless cities in Gratzel?’

’I can’t deny that. But you like that term a lot, Fenrir.’

’Of course. I’m good at PvP. If not because I was tired, I would have swallowed that thunder bastard.’

Nathan chuckled. ’Still, searching randomly is not really productive. I guess we have no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures. Pick one, Fenrir. Go for the bad guy and use their network to find this guy or find a few random people.’

’If I could fight personally, I would really go for the first option. But because I have to remain in my pistol form, I think it’s better to go with the second one.’

’Even someone like you, who loves to fight, chooses the peaceful option?’

’I can’t stretch my body in this form, so yeah.’

’...’ Since the decision had been made, he thought about visiting a random district and asking people there.

But before he could do it, the people seemed to be unable to wait for him anymore.

All of a sudden, a little girl suddenly came out of the alley and tripped in front of him.

’Ouch. Help me!’

’Is this considered a jinx, Fenrir?’ Nathan asked. Because he chose the second one, it looked like the world was giving him the first one.

’We have been trying to avoid a jinx for so long... I guess your luck is still the same.’

Nathan glanced to the side, finding a thug.

"You brat. You have made me chase you like crazy. You’re not getting away from this. Oi, you better hand that girl over or else you’re going to regret it."
