Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 577 - 348

"Who said that?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

"Nangong Sirui said it," Shen Ye replied.

"Then it might be true. Are we still going?" Xiao Mengyu asked.

"I suggest you rest at the school, I’ll go and come back quickly," Shen Ye said.

Xiao Mengyu pouted and said disdainfully:

"You’re afraid I’ll die? I’m more afraid of you dying."

Her words seemed somewhat petulant, but upon reflection, they made her blush slightly.

Xiao Mengyu looked down, not wanting to look at him, and said softly:

"Shall we go?"

"Let’s go!" Shen Ye said.

Both of them activated the teleportation command on their cards.

A sudden spatial fluctuation surged through the square.

In a moment,

both of them had disappeared.

Nightmare World.

Cold Stone River.

Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu appeared at the same time.

It was still morning, but the sky was overcast with leaden clouds, as dark as night.

The wind howled.

"It’s about to rain," Xiao Mengyu said.

Before her words even finished, large raindrops rapidly began to fall upon the earth.

This was a downpour!

"Let’s find a place to take shelter, then contact the grand mage Yudelia," Shen Ye said.

"Okay!"

The two walked along the riverside for a while but could not find a suitable place to shelter from the rain.

"Forget it, let’s just go ahead to Rotenburg!"

Xiao Mengyu suggested.

"If only Xiao San were here, his big shield could at least serve as an umbrella," Shen Ye said.

Xiao Mengyu gave him a roll of her eyes.

The two then crossed the river, braving the rain as they went on.

After racing at full speed for a while, a small wooden hut appeared in the wild mountains ahead.

"Let’s take shelter from the rain there!" Shen Ye suggested.

"Okay!" Xiao Mengyu agreed.

—Not for any other reason, but because in this world, unexpected things could happen at any moment, and they needed to ensure they had enough physical strength to cope.

They approached the hut and knocked on the door.

No response.

Xiao Mengyu drew her sword, slid the blade into the door crack, and gave it a push.

The door opened.

There was no one inside, just a pile of firewood, several hoes, a hunting rifle, and some seasoning bottles on the stove.

"It should be a temporary shelter for locals to rest when they hunt or farm in the mountains. There are places like this in the mountains of my hometown too," Xiao Mengyu said.

"No rush to go back this time. I’ll contact a friend first," Shen Ye said.

"Who?" Xiao Mengyu asked curiously.

"The King of the Human Empire," Shen Ye replied.

"Bragging again," Xiao Mengyu said, uninterested in his claim and started rummaging around for stuff. She indeed found some potatoes and sweet potatoes in the storeroom.

Shen Ye, meanwhile, unfolded the Magic Paper and began writing a letter to Norton:

"King Norton, I’m over at Cold Stone River. Where are you? How have you been? What’s the food like?"

After writing, he looked it over.

So wordy.

Revise!

"I’m at Cold Stone River."

Send!

After a few moments, several lines of small script appeared on the Magic Paper:

"I have seen Yudelia and am aware of what has happened to you, report your exact location quickly."

"In addition, the meeting password is: ’Glory to our Emperor!’

Shen Ye instinctively sat up straight.

Norton had seen Yudelia?

He is now the King of the Human Empire, so why wasn’t he staying put in the capital and instead running around outdoors?

Shen Ye wrote quickly, "The password is too simple and easily guessed, your Majesty."

"What should we do then? You suggest one?" replied Norton.

"A combination of upper and lower case letters plus numbers would be more reliable, also add a facial recognition spell," Shen Ye suggested.

"Very well, that’s settled then. Also, report your exact location," said Norton.

"I’m in the wild, east of the Cold Water River, there’s a cabin here for resting, about seventy or eighty miles from the river,"

Shen Ye wrote speedily.

"Wait a moment, I’ll have the mages check the coordinates," Norton responded.

There were no new messages on the Magic Paper.

About seven or eight moments passed.

The air vibrated almost imperceptibly.

"It’s the fluctuation of teleportation, someone is coming!"

Xiao Mengyu said as she walked swiftly to the window with her sword, looking outside.

"It should be our own people," said Shen Ye.

He saw a party of about twenty people appear outside the window, accompanied by carriages, tents, a parade of military regalia, and a whole bunch of stuff.

A mage walked up to the door and called out, "People inside, do you know the password?"

Xiao Mengyu looked towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was stunned.

He hadn’t heard a new password from Norton after making his suggestion.

Wait!

Could the new password be the exact phrase he mentioned?

Shen Ye was nearly speechless.

But now he had nothing else to say.

He shouted hoarsely:

"A combination of upper and lower case letters plus numbers would be more reliable, also add a facial recognition spell!"

Xiao Mengyu looked at him, her expression saying, "What are you doing?"

Shen Ye drooped his eyelids and shook his head helplessly.

"Lord Paige, we’ve finally found you," said the mage outside cheerfully.

The mage turned and gestured to the party, and the Professionals within the group began to cheer.

Shen Ye sensed something was not quite right and asked in a grave voice:

"What exactly has happened?"

"Lord Paige, please wait,"

Two mages stepped forward, pushed open the door, and walked up to Shen Ye, then turned to glance at Xiao Mengyu.

"She’s with me,"

said Shen Ye.

The two nodded and then checked the entire cabin thoroughly.

Following that.

A stretcher was quickly carried down from the carriage and rushed into the cabin.

"Norton!"

Shen Ye exclaimed.

He saw Norton lying on the stretcher, pale and at death’s door.

Norton said nothing, just made a hand gesture.

Except for the mage standing by the stretcher, everyone else left the cabin and started to pack up the carriages and luggage, storing each item into spatial storage gear, then set up a perimeter guard.
