Chapter 315 You Sailed All The Way To Here?



Now, with the level of power Arthur achieved, he could explore all the forbidden areas of the central continent, and maybe find some clues about Hiley, who had vanished out of a sudden.

"This town does not look so bad." Arthur thought as he went inside a city called Wind Lake.

Win Lake was an average sized city built around a gorgeous lake. Some said it has magical properties, but no one is sure of it. Arthur did not choose the city for any specific reason, he was just traveling through most cities trying to get some info about Hiley along the way, as he intended to meet up with Theo and Kai.

The streets were packed during the early hours of the morning, and fishermen were frequent. Arthur stopped one of them to ask the reason, and the man said, "the lake always has fish for us."

Most of the food the citizens from Wind Lake consumed came from the fish, but that did not mean they did not have farms and cattle. They did, but most people could just fish for dinner.

What caught the most attention out of Arthur was that the city guards allowed everyone to fish by the lake, even homeless people. So it was almost impossible for someone who lived there or was just visiting to starve, and that was incredible!

Arthur heard from some people that they did not allow anyone to fish before as they believed the fishes would end, but as years passed and the people living there increased, the amount of fish seemed to not diminish but increase instead! Everyone believed the lake truly had magical properties, giving free access to food!

"Cool."

The best place to get information in a city was the inn, and that is exactly where Arthur went. He was using his normal appearance, but he used a spell to hide his Emperor Eye in a way to avoid attention. Not only that, but he did not have any mana fluctuations. A rank 2 mage could check on him and would believe he was not a mage, which would help him even more to avoid attention.

Why was he trying to avoid people with his current strength? It was not because he was afraid of an opponent with similar strength, but because he did not enjoy lots of people walking up to him.

One knows that a rank 3 mage is an existence everyone would fear and treat with respect. Any city Arthur went would turn into a rumor, and everyone around the continent would know. He was not sure if Hiley was around or someone had kidnapped her.

"If someone kidnapped her, I cannot go around and let the kidnapper know all of my moves!" Arthur thought.

A black-cloaked youth went inside a wooden inn. It was common for people to wear cloaks, so no one paid attention to Arthur.

"This place is crowded." He thought, choosing a table in the corner, waiting for a waitress to come.

"Hello, sir. What would you like?" she asked, showing Arthur the menu.

He ordered some meat, vegetables, and a beer. The waitress wrote all of it with dexterity and then went to the back parts of the inn. Arthur sat away from everyone else, but he could clearly hear all the things they were saying.

Arthur did not believe someone would go speaking about Hiley, as he would have to ask the person behind the counter of the inn for some information, but it was still nice to catch up with any news while eating. What he did not expect was to hear something about a friend he met a long time ago, back when he was lost in the archipelago.

"Did you hear this? Captain Jack reached the rank 1 as a mage, and he still keeps saying he saw a dragon."

"A dragon? He is still with this story? Could it be real?"

"I don\'t know, but lots of adventurers had formed parties to go looking for this dragon."

"And Captain Jack, is he with them?"

"No, he is staying in a house here in the city, but I don\'t know where."

"Could it be THAT Jack?" Arthur thought. He went looking for this Jack after he was done with his lunch.

The coincidence about a Captain with the same name was too much, but a rank one mage? If it was the Jack Arthur knew, how did he increase his power so fast? It was not a simple task to reach rank 1, especially for someone in that archipelago, which was a place without a lot of resources.

Not only that, but he came all the way to the central continent?

"He used a portal, right? He would be crazy to sail all the way to here… Jack wouldn\'t do that, or would he?"

Arthur ate his lunch, and then left the inn, looking for this Jack they talked about. The city wasn\'t that big, and considering how strong Arthur was, finding a single person was easy at all. He went to an enormous mansion which was on the other side of the city. One had to circle around the lake to get there, and Arthur did just that.

"This lake is beautiful! I would love to just buy a house and live here!"

The lake had a crystal clear water, and it seemed there was always a minor wind moving the waters, making it look like a magical place. Arthur saw lots of people sitting around the lake with their chairs, eating, fishing, and even the kids played — on the grass a little farther from the lake, as most parents were afraid of them falling into the water.

"Is this the place?"

Arthur saw a mansion with a guard in front, who quickly noticed him and turned aggressive.

"Who are you? No one may be here. This is private property." The guard said.

"Is Captain Jack here? Tell him an old friend wants to see him." Arthur said.

He was not concerned if it was the Jack he knew or not. If it wasn\'t, then all he had to do was leave. There was no mage capable of hurting him.

The guard thought it was just bullshit and said, "I will not say that to Captain Jack. Now leave before I break your bones, young man!"

"Say what?"

A voice came from behind the guard. Two people were leaving the mansion, and one of them was Jack. Arthur looked at him, and yep, it was the same Jack he knew.

"This homeless man is trying to speak with you, and-"

"Shh, be quiet." Jack said, not allowing the guard to finish the sentence. He was looking directly at Arthur, trying to remember who it was.

"Captain Arthur? No fucking way!!!"

Jack ran toward him, giving him a hug. Both had known each other for a short time before parting ways, but their friendship was still there.

"You look good, Jack. How did you end up here?"

"Hehehe," Jack scratched the back of his head and said, "I was sailing and got lost… Bro for a moment I thought I discovered a new continent, such a shame… Captain Jack would be recorded in history if that was the case."

"You truly sailed all the way to this continent…"

Arthur laughed out loud, patting Jack on the shoulders, "you learnt it well."
