Chapter 477: Two Sections

Nausica was looking more and more grave.
Someone came to the garden with wizard-level treasures, which meant the dubious business in the garden this time was even more unpredictable than people expected. Nausica was sure she couldn’t survive using raw strength. She needed to think both carefully and fast.
Of course, someone strong enough to beat down everything he or she came across did not have to worry about these. But Nausica was not such a case.
The winged lady moved in the air for a moment while fully releasing her aura for everyone to see, making it difficult for the weaker beings to breathe.
“That’s… Maine from Shangri-La!” Someone revealed her name with a trembling voice.
Maine had slowly landed among people, which immediately scared a good number of people away. No one dared to try their luck in front of those wizard-level wings.
The woman didn’t say anything. She folded her wings behind her back and glanced at Jebra who was standing on the other end of the area.
To the right of the river border, the elite apprentices were simply minding their own business without caring about anything beyond their personal territories; several of them even gave the “weak” ones cold glares while snickering.
Even the slowest minds could understand the situation now.
The elites knew about this all along.
Being on the left side didn’t mean being miserable. There were still relatively strong apprentices among them, who were all calm as usual and were waiting to enter the garden, including Nausica.
“No worries… The elites are here, which meant there are great rewards in it. We just don’t know yet!”
People began to spread a new emotion either to comfort themselves or to gain a fake hope.
Once again, everyone waited quietly with only the occasional whispers and the falling snowflakes that could be heard.
More apprentices were still coming. Soon, the elite apprentices on the right side all had to compromise and move closer to each other.
Nausica checked and realized that she might need to add another digit to the number of total participants. This area should be large enough to hold 100,000 individuals.
“Whatever’s happening will come up soon,” Shan said as she put on a serious look. “But why aren’t the Supreme Cult fanatics coming?”
As if to answer her question, a group of men in black robes emerged from the entrance as one.
“Talking about the devil…”
The arrival of the cultists only added to the strange ambiance in the area. Saladin’s first move after showing up was to stare at Gank. He then revealed a bloodthirsty expression.
Still, he didn’t do anything since there were still guards and watchmen around. After giving Shan a violent gaze, he looked at Shiliew next.
“What’s the matter, Saladin?” an emotionless tone spoke from behind him.
“It’s nothing,” Saladin lowered his head.
The strange voice snickered, “A brute from another world… How disgusting. Remember to erase it when you see it in the garden.”
Saladin scoffed in his mind. Even though he had already planned to do so, he still wouldn’t want to listen to orders.
Even so, he couldn’t openly oppose the speaker for now.
After the cultists, people heard something running loudly outside the gate.
“Faster, Alby! Hey, Brother Hermes! You too!”
A kid around the age of ten arrived at the gate while riding on a white rhino, while another young man followed behind him. This young man who was just called “Brother Hermes” was politely following behind yet another participant—a lady with deep-bronze colored skin.
“Rest assured, Tana. I’ve left a spirit mark on Alan, and I’ll go to him immediately after I get in there. We’ll be fine,” Hermes said while admiring his childhood friend, Tana, who had taken on a completely different look after reaching maturity. Tana’s shiny, bronze muscles suggested her extremely well-developed physique, while her strong body did nothing to hide those bulging buttocks which even caused Hermes to develop some funny ideas.
“Maybe I should put a mark on you as well? So that I can get you after finding Alan. A gentleman should always protect a lady—”
The kid sitting on the white rhino interrupted Hermes. “Oh quit it, bro. Have you not had enough of Miss Tana’s punches? I’ll do a better job of protecting people. Right, Miss Tana?”
“Little Loki’s quite right,” Tana giggled. “But enough jokes today. Make sure you keep Alan well. He just eats and sleeps and eats again all day without learning the most basic cantrips… Why would the professor invite him to the garden anyway?”
Alan, who had been following beside Tana closely, twiddled his fingers and didn’t say anything.
“Leave it to me!” Loki smiled. “I’ll keep him alive as long as he gives me more of his roasted meat next time!”
Compared to the others, this particular joyful group of people really stood out. Although no one dared underestimate them—being so relaxed in such a situation only meant they were no one too ordinary.
When Loki’s group headed directly to the right side of the area, the other elite apprentices simply gave them some space without making any unnecessary moves.
Which meant they had all the reason to chill.
“That’s… Alan?”
As the new group joined the other elites, a man covered under a black hooded robe, who had been hiding among the common apprentices, muttered uncertainly.
