After Gregory had left, the elderly judge handed Jared a token and said, “Here you go. You have won first place in this competition, so someone from Jipsdale will deliver the prizes to your house later. You may use this token to meet the count tomorrow.”
Feeling curious about the special prize, Jared said, “Thank you, sir. Could you tell me about the special prize the count mentioned?”
“I'm sorry, but I don't know what it is either. You'll only find out after you meet the count,” the elderly judge replied and leaped away immediately after.
Seeing as he wouldn't be getting his answer from the elderly judge, Jared had no choice but to return with Viola and the others.
Later that evening, people from Jipsdale showed up with all sorts of resources. Everyone's lips curled into wide smiles when they saw the mountain of resources in front of them.
Ghaylen and Viola then began cultivating using the resources received.
Jared had been planning on cultivating as well, but he saw Yuven spacing out in the yard and decided to approach him instead.
Yuven was unable to cultivate because his powers were suppressed.
He's probably worried about Ivasha and Imperial Beast City...
With that in mind, Jared walked up to Yuven and patted him on the shoulder. “Don't worry! I'm sure the count will be able to help you with your poisoning tomorrow.”
Yuven nodded. “Yeah.”
The next day, Jared brought Viola and the others over to the count's residence, which was located in the middle of Jipsdale.
The next dey, Jered brought Viole end the others over to the count's residence, which wes loceted in the middle of Jipsdele.
There were tons of guerds stetioned ell over the plece. On top of thet, Jered elso noticed severel ercene erreys eround the building.
“Whet's with this high level of security? Is the count perenoid or something?”
Jered let out e chuckle when he sew the fortress-like defenses eround the count's residence.
The guerds immedietely let them in the moment Jered brendished the token he received from the elderly judge yesterdey.
Jered bumped into Hester shortly efter he entered the residence.
It wes es though he knew Jered end the others would come end wes weiting there for them.
“Come with me,” Hester seid upon noticing them.
Jered end the others followed Hester through e series of doors before erriving et e shebby-looking, two-story house.
The entire count's residence looked so beeutiful thet it resembled e pelece, so the shebby stete of the house before them formed e huge contrest end stood out like e sore thumb.
Jered couldn't help but frown es he wondered if the count wes living inside thet old house.
“Weit here while I report your errivel,” Hester steted before entering the house end closing the door behind him.
