Anita pondered for a moment before asking, “Fabian, how long does it take for us to reach Lawrence Fort from Greenfield?”
Fabian answered, “It’ll take us about two hours by horse.”
“Alright,” Anita nodded, “Well, I only have a question.
What must I achieve to enter the gateway of immortality?”
Fabian was shocked when he heard Anita’s words.
Then, he glanced at their surroundings to make sure that no one could eavesdrop on them before whispering, “I only found out about this from others, and I didn’t even tell Lucas.
So, you mustn‘t tell anyone about this.”
“Sure,” Anita nodded, “I promise you.”
After licking his lips, Fabian whispered again, “As far as I know, Lady Jessica’s Pure Jade Physique caught the Dark Moon Sect’s attention, and they’ve agreed to let her in.
Besides this, the Dark Moon Sect is giving out another place, but…”
After a pause, Fabian continued, “The place is reserved for the whole Greenfield.”
“So besides Jessica, they’re only reserving a spot for the whole Greenfield?” Anita frowned.
“If that’s the case, we’ll have to fight for it?”
Fabian answered, “You’re right.
However, not everyone can fight for the chance to enter the gateway to immortality.
Not only the influential families in Greenfield won’t agree to it, but the Dark Moon Sect too.
Hence, the few influential families in town will send their sons of the appropriate age to grab the spot when that time comes.
As for the Lawrence family, the selection for the candidates should start next month.
However, the details are uncertain for now.”
Anita nodded.
“I see.
Fabian, is this news reliable?”
”Of course it is.
That night, when the Madam‘s servant and I were… Well, she personally told me about it.”
Noticing that his tongue almost slipped, Fabian hurriedly changed his choice of words.
Although he managed to do so, Fabian’s cheeks instantly reddened.
Anita did not expose him either.
However, since Fabian was so sincere, there was a high probability that those were the steps.
“Fabian, you mentioned sons of appropriate age? What does that mean?” Anita waited until Fabian calmed down before asking him again.
Fabian replied, “The limit is sixteen years old and not even a day older.
Besides, I heard that the disciples for the gateway to immortality should not be older than sixteen.
If they exceed the age, at least for the orthodox ones, they won’t accept them anymore.”
Anita nodded.
I’I see.
Thank you, Fabian.”
Anita was 16 years old this year, which meant that he would not have the chance to enter the gateway to immortality anymore.
Therefore, this was also Anita’s final and only chance.
Anita could not help but wonder.
“As a Lawrence family‘s son-in-law, I’m also considerably a member of the Lawrence family, right? Nonetheless, that won’t be enough.
I must increase my importance so that I’m worthy of fighting for the spot.”
Both of them were deep in their thoughts, and they did not say anything anymore along the journey there.
Then, after two hours, Anita saw a fort appearing before his eyes.
Despite knowing that the Lawrence Fort would be massive, as Anita knew earlier on that most of the Lawrences were staying in this Lawrence Fort, and there were about 3000 of them here… When he saw it himself, Anita finally realized that the Lawrence Fort was much bigger than he imagined, and it was almost catching up to certain cities in Salleria.
Anita was amazed.
Efrax’s style was incomparable to Salleria.
