He turned around, picked up the girl, and disappeared between the buildings in a flash.
Philip stopped in an alley. He looked at the snickering girl and wondered if all the girls in this world were so wicked.
“Tell me what you want,” Philip said in exasperation.
“Elder Whitmore was afraid you’d get lost, so he asked me to be your tour guide,” the girl said with a smile.
‘Rather than a tour guide, I think a watchdog seems more like it,’ Philip thought inwardly.
Philip sighed and said, “It just happens that I want to see Elder Whitmore. Lead the way.”
“Elder Whitmore has gone to attend the Alliance Meeting and won’t be back until tomorrow. I’d better show you around,” the girl said.
“What meeting?” Philip raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
The girl thought for a while as if making up her mind and said, “Don’t tell Elder Whitmore that I told you.”
Philip nodded, motioning for her to continue.
“A forbidden land between the territories of the ancient dragon royal family and the White Marsh royal family is about to open. Everyone is getting ready to recruit people and compete for resources…”
“Elder Whitmore is representing Montana Alliance to attend the meeting…”
“A forbidden land? What sort of forbidden land?” Philip asked.
“There’s a huge gorge between the territories of the ancient dragon royal family and the White Marsh royal family. According to legend, it was created by a sword strike from an ancient power, and there’s a long and narrow bunker in the middle of this gorge…”
“At first, there was a terrifying pressure around it that made even nine-star powerhouses not dare to approach it easily, but the guards recently noticed that the pressure is gradually receding, and there are signs that the bunker is about to open.”
The girl did not treat Philip as an outsider at all and spoke incessantly, “The person who carved a gorge hundreds of miles long with a single strike of a sword must be a holy-tier powerhouse, so the treasures inside must be extraordinary.”
After saying that, the girl stood there in a daze, her face full of admiration and yearning.
“I see. You can go now.”
