“You’re Roland, aren’t you?” When Roland was contemplating the “Erosion”, Lan suddenly spoke.

“Ah… it’s me.” He recovered from his solemn thoughts and Garcia’s words flashed across his mind… “Hang on, would she be trying to find trouble with me for having stood her up?”

“I’ve heard Garcia mention you several times.” She did not face Roland, so he could not see her expression. “She said you’re a rare and independent awakened who’s not disturbed by desire and ambition. This is very rare for the average person, so she’s very happy that you’ve agreed to join the association.”

“Uh… Is that so?” Roland replied reluctantly.

It was clear to him that Lan must have been implying that he was a ‘wild’ Awakened when she said ‘independent’, but he wondered why she said that Garcia was elated when he agreed to join the association. He clearly remembered that Garcia had been expressionless when she had let him fill out the application.

“Although I hate people who aren’t punctual, this is a common problem for many. After all, you can’t feel the change of time nor can you hear it ticking, so for some special people, it’s not an unforgivable flaw.”

Inexplicably, Roland felt that there was a glimmer of emotion when the Chief Disciple said these words.

“There’s one thing you should know about special people. Though they’re uncommon, there’re still quite a number of them. If they don’t treasure their special feature and maximize it, they’ll be eliminated sooner or later.”

“Is this a warning that I should work wholeheartedly for the association and not cause problems like the other wild Awakened ones?” Roland secretly frowned as he really did not like this kind of preaching. Perhaps he would not have minded it before, but after he became the King of Graycastle, he had also changed his mentality.

“After you’ve finished watching, you can leave,” Lan finally turned around and said calmly, “listen carefully to what I’m going to say next as it might help you. Next—!”

Roland twitched his mouth and did not take this brief conversation to heart.

He was overwhelmed by a cloud of confusion.

Whether the Martialist Association could defeat the Erosion and save the world was something he did not care about.

After returning to his seat, he still frowned.

What are the “deities” thinking about?

According to the research data of the underground civilization, the Bloody Moon is the key to transforming the magic power, and also the basis for the existence of the Dreamland—in a certain sense, it’s the equivalent of the mastermind behind the scenes, existing like a background. Even if one wanted to annex the Dream World, there’s no need to show their original appearance, right?

The witches can see the real body of the Bloody Moon because that’s the real world, yet this Dreamland is a domain purely founded on his and Zero’s memories. Wouldn’t this mean that the mastermind had seen the circuit signal operating behind the world?

Or could the speculation be wrong? Or maybe I had misunderstood some information that had pointed me in the wrong direction?

“So do you believe it now?” Garcia glared at him. “That’s definitely not something that can exist in reality.”

“I’ve never doubted you.” Roland shook his head and tried to suppress his distractions. “But your master wasn’t as scary as you’d described.”

“Was there something wrong with the master?” She was a little surprised.
