Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 48 Leaving for the Tower II

?

Soon, after passing the garden and a large empty corridor filled with hundreds of antiques and paintings everyone arrived in front of a large huge empty ground.

The empty ground seemed to be used for training because a lot of different weapons were stacked in a corner. On the left side, a lot of young individuals wearing different Academy uniforms were seen conversing with some Old Professors.

On the right side, some young people wearing regular clothes were standing properly behind an old-looking individual. They were probably the ones who got selected through public competition.

The moment Vice Principal George entered the ground all eyes were on him and the students standing behind him.

Some of the old individuals walked toward Vice Principal George and Elder Han and greeted them politely.

While everyone was busy greeting each other, the guards announced the arrival of King Cedric.

Wearing a beautiful golden robe the King with four guards walked out from one of the doors present in front of the empty ground.

All the Old people hurriedly gathered the younger ones before greeting the king politely.

Kyle gazed at the King. The pressure radiating from the guards standing behind the king was immense.

'What's the King Rank?'

He questioned Bia who was sitting on Mia's shoulder. Kyle could feel that the guard's rank was probably higher than (A)-Rank but he didn't feel an ounce of energy coming out of the King's body.

-'I can feel he just broke through recently to (SS+)-Rank. Also, I don't know why but it seems there's a barrier around the King's body that's why no one can see his rank.'

Bia's reply made Kyle surprised because according to the rumors he heard the current king of Kingdom Escalante only had (S+)-Rank talent.

'It seems the rumors were wrong.'

After talking with the Older individuals for a while, the King warmly gazed at the 100 kids who were going to enter the Tower from Kingdom Escalante.

The King's gaze paused on Carcel for a while, making him flinch.

After giving some encouraging words to the young ones the King didn't hold them any longer. He asked the guards to start the teleportation arrays present on the empty ground.

Also, it seemed to protect the location of the 'Tower of Opportunity' from other Continents, Each Kingdom only had a single teleportation array leading straight toward the Tower, and the teleportation array of Kingdom Escalante was manufactured inside the Royal Castle.

After getting a signal from the King everyone gathered in the middle of the ground.

Soon, a brilliant light enveloped their bodies and they all disappeared.

....

Kyle opened his eyes and saw a vast empty land devoid of any type of greenery.

The land was dry, except for some pebbles lying around there was nothing else.

While Kyle gazed around, the first thing that entered his eyes was the huge long Tower touching the vast blue sky.

He looked at the Tower which was far away with a serious expression.

'I am here. Now I just need to enter the Tower and find the Elixir.' 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵

After checking everyone, Vice Principal George took the lead and walked toward the only bridge present at the edge of the vast land.

Everyone quietly followed behind the Vice Principal and passed the small bridge without any difficulty.

But the moment they left the bridge, their surrounding changed drastically.

The feeling was the same as using a teleportation array.

In front of them were hundreds of small houses surrounding the huge Tower, making a small city around it.

Individuals from different races were seen walking around the streets which were filled with different merchants selling weapons and other things.

There was still no greenery in sight but the atmosphere was just like any normal market.

Kyle and Nine both looked around, it was their first time seeing people from different races.

On the other hand, after entering the small city Vice Principal George said goodbye to all the other Professors and students before asking the 14 students he brought with him to follow behind him.

After 15 minutes of walking in the crowd, they arrived in front of a small hotel.

Vice Principal George gave everyone a key to a room and asked them to rest for the day before leaving with Elder Han.

He was going to talk with the envoys of other Kingdoms who brought their students to enter the Tower.

After Vice Principal George left, some of the students instead of resting went to look around the market.

Kyle also wanted to go but it was late and he was tired. Also, there was still another day before the Tower opened so he decided to rest for today and look around tomorrow.

....

Next day early morning, Kyle woke up when Bia asked for food. After giving her something to eat, he stretched his body and took a bath.

Wearing comfortable clothes, he walked outside of his room because he wanted to eat outside.

As Kyle walked down the stairs of the hotel, he saw Nine eating together with Alec and the others.

Kyle also joined them for breakfast and after eating he said that he was going to look around for a while.

Not just Nine but also Alec and his team, all of them went to look around yesterday. They were tired because they only returned to the hotel late at night.

That's why Nine said farewell to Kyle before leaving to sleep for a while.

But when Alec heard Kyle was going outside, he immediately offered to go together.

It was because he only had one thought in his mind,

'Whenever Kyle goes outside he always finds something amazing. This time no matter what I am gonna follow him!'

But alas! Fate had something else written for Alec because before he could leave with Kyle, Mia told him that Vice Principal George was looking for him and Carcel.

With regretful eyes, Alec saw Kyle leave the hotel with Bia.

Kyle didn't even glance back at Alec who was being dragged by Mia to meet the Vice Principal.

After walking out of the hotel, Kyle started looking around the bustling market filled with different small stalls.

He saw a lot of things, there was also someone selling high rank storage rings at a low price but Kyle didn't have money, well he had some mana stones inside the storage ring the Vice Principal gave him but he wanted to buy something useful using them.
