Chapter 321: The Second Review; Conflict of Continents
The Eastern Continent shared a large border with the Western Continent which was divided by only a wide river running between them.
The two continents shared the same
distance of border with the Northern
Continent and the Southern Continent as well.
The Battleship of the Great Demon Sect, carrying three Elders and their Youngest Disciples, was supposed to cross into the Western Continent from a point that was much closer to the Northern Continent.
This route was chosen as it was the fastest route to reach their destination.
This route was chosen as it was the fastest route to reach their destination.
Unlike the Southern Continent, the Eastern Continent didn’t have any conflict with the Northern Continent so they felt no need to change the route.
As the Battleship of the Great Demon Sect reached near the river of separation, they noticed the battleships of the Holy Empire on the other side of the river.
“Are they here to escort us?” Elder Zhang wondered, looking at the ships in the distance. She could feel that something wasn’t right.
Why did they need to send so many ships to escort them? Something didn’t add up. Still, she didn’t jump to conclusions. She didn’t realize that it was going to be the biggest mistake of her life.
A few days later~
Eren was sitting on the back of a Merchant Ship that was going towards the Western Continent from the Southern Continent.
The Ship was grand, being no different than a floating palace in the air. Although it wasn’t as weaponized as the BattleShips of the Overlords, it still had means to protect itself from ordinary bandits along the way.
Still, more than attacks, the Merchant Ships focused more on luxury and
grandeur along with efficiency.
Eren didn’t care much about the protection
of the Merchant Ship as he only focused on reaching the Western Continent.
If possible, he didn’t want to take a portal to another continent, still not forgetting the pain from before. Fortunately, the Merchant Ship wasn’t too slow and it happened to be destined for the Holy Empire as well.
The Ship carried fruits that were in high
demand in the Holy Empire but could only be grown in the Southern Continent, which allowed the Merchants to have a big enough prophet for this journey.
It was especially profitable with the spatial
treasure in the ship that allowed them to carry more than their capacity during each
trip.
Only three days had passed but the Merchant Ship had already reached near
the Western Continent’s border to the point that Eren could even see the Sea of Separation.
Even though Eren had to pay quite a lot to the Ship’s Captain to be taken on this journey, money was worthless to him. He
had robbed so many Professors that he had quite a lot of savings.
He even paid for Aster who was following
him throughout the journey.
During the last few days, Eren didn’t forget
to ask Aster about his life on earth. He wanted to know what kind of person Aster used to be before his Transmigration.
As per Aster, he was only a normal office
worker who read books at home to distract him from his boring and lifeless days. That’s when he came across a book called
the Rebirth of the SSS Rank Hero.
As the title was quite catchy, he gave it a
try. He didn’t realize that reading the book was going to bring him to the world of the book itself.
Eren had initially thought that he was
going to learn the contents of the Book of the Southern Continent from Aster but to his surprise, Aster was even more
disappointing than him.
He had at least read two hundred chapters
out of more than four thousand chapters in Ascent of the Demon Lord. Meanwhile,
Aster had only read twenty chapters before
he fell asleep.
Realizing that his knowledge was even more useless than he expected, Eren could only facepalm himself. He changed his
question to cover other matters of Aster’s
life.
He asked Aster to tell him about everything
that happened after he came to this world, trying to see if Aster met the author or not.
Even after Aster explained everything, there was no mention of any author,
making it evident that he hadn’t reached the point of meeting.
Eren even asked him what kind of review
he had left on the book.
To the question, Aster scratched the back
of his head, slightly embarrassed.
After a brief pause, he answered, “I left the review before reading the book.” “My review was, ‘I haven’t read the book
but looking at the synopsis, I’m sure I’m going to live it. I will update the review once I have read enough. Five stars for now!””
Hearing the person’s review, Eren’s lips twitched uncontrollably. He didn’t even know how to respond. This person left the
review without even reading the book? And even if he left a review, it was five stars. So why was he dragged here?
As Aster finished explaining, he also appeared slightly disappointed that he couldn’t keep his promise of updating the
review as he fell asleep after reading just twenty chapters, only to wake up here. Even after Eren finished interrogating Aster, there wasn’t anything useful he could find. Aster didn’t even seem to remember any character like the prophet that was possessed by another Transmigrator from earth.
In the end, Eren could only give up on
using Aster’s knowledge of the book. It was more useful to have him as just a Hero who
could understand what kind of world this actually was.
Eren left the shared room, seemingly disappointed. He walked over to the deck
to get some fresh air when he suddenly
heard a commotion.
Quite a lot of people on the Merchant Ship
were talking about the same incident that seemingly involved two continents.
It took some time for the news to reach the
Merchant Ship but as per the information, the Great Demon Sect had sent a delegation to the Western Continent which
was attacked and killed by the Necromancer Tower before they could even cross the border.
