Chapter 125: Animal Kingdom Dungeon (Part 1)

After talking with Queen Eleanor, Evan and the others left the room.

Once everyone was gone, Eleanor looked at the pond beside her with a thoughtful look.

"What do you think?" She asked without shifting her eyes.

"Everything that he said earlier was true," A female elf wearing black clothes like an assassin suddenly appeared beside Eleanor. "I also did not sense any traces of Chaos Essence on him, so he shouldn’t be an enemy."

Eleanor nodded at her words and rubbed her chin.

"I still can’t understand how he appeared here without the permission of my Supreme Entrance Authority Token, and on top of that, I can’t even remove the permission from his token."

The female elf frowned slightly and asked in a hesitant voice.

"Since that’s the case, then why didn’t you just take his Entrance Authority Token, Your Majesty? There might be some big problem with it."

Eleanor shook her head and responded calmly.

"Why make things difficult for a young child who hasn’t done anything wrong? Besides..." She once again picked up the book she was reading earlier. "Now that his teleportation location on Elvador is fixed, it wouldn’t be a problem even if he came here without my permission."

The female elf did not say anything upon hearing Eleanor and seeing her reading the book again, she silently disappeared.

"I really don’t understand why Mom wants you to go to the academy to mess with students there..." Alice said as they walked out of the room. "If you go there in a low-profile manner, there wouldn’t have been any problem. But if you are going to follow my Mom’s suggestion, you will definitely incur the hostility of many elves, as the reputation of humans among elves is not very good."

Liam nodded at Alice’s words and added.

"Although you are powerful, there are many students in the academy who have already become Rank Two Evolvers. And they are far more powerful than normal Rank Two Evolvers, as every student who can join the sub-academy is a genius in their own right."

Evan recalled what Queen Eleanor asked him to do earlier, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

’If it were before, I would have politely declined her idea, but with my current stat points and skill set, as long as I behave properly, it shouldn’t be difficult to accomplish her task.’ He thought and responded to Alice and Liam’s words.

"Don’t worry, I am not an irrational person. I won’t mess with anyone in the academy who can beat me black and blue."

"So you’re just going to pick on weak targets?" Erza asked with a look of interest on her face.

Evan didn’t reply to her question and just shrugged his shoulders.

Alice shook her head when she saw this and sighed.

"Forget it. We will go to the academy tomorrow. Let me take you guys to your rooms." She said and came before the golden leaf that had brought them to the top of the tree.

All of them once again stood on the leaf, and it moved downwards, bringing them to another hallway located in the middle of the tree.

"I still don’t understand how this thing works..." Evan muttered as he followed the others and left the golden leaf.

"Can’t blame you. Even I was surprised when I saw all of this for the first time," Kevin said when he heard Evan.

After leaving the leaf platform, Alice brought them deeper into the hallway, and rows of rooms appeared before them.

"You guys can choose any room. There is no one living here on this floor currently."

Just as Alice said this, Erza walked to the first room.

"Don’t disturb me until tomorrow. I wasn’t able to sleep for the last two days on Nero’s back, so I am going to take a long nap." As she spoke, Erza entered the room and closed the door behind her.

Evan and the others also selected their rooms and went inside.

The interior of the room wasn’t much different from the modern rooms, but most of the things were made of wood, and there were some plants in the room.

Evan first took a long bath to clean himself. Once done, he slumped down on a soft bed that was covered in strange pink leaves.

As he lay down on the bed, Evan smelled a faint fragrance coming from the leaves, calming his mind.

"I missed the feeling of sleeping on a comfortable bed," He muttered and plunged his face into the soft pillow.

A few minutes later, Evan sat down and took out an egg from his storage ring.

It was the egg that he had received as a reward after killing the Lizard King.

’This egg is really strange. Normally, living things can’t be placed inside a storage ring. This egg definitely has life fluctuations around it, but I was able to place it inside my ring...’ Evan looked at the egg with a look of interest and wondered if the reason he was able to place it inside the storage ring was because of the magical beast inside it.

"I wonder when it will hatch," Evan muttered as he cut his palm using Black Star and let some blood drip onto the egg.

When the blood came into contact with the eggshell, all the runes on it shone with a red light and started to absorb the blood.

After some time, the runes stopped shining, and Evan stopped feeding it with his blood.

’My blood connection with it became even stronger...’ Evan felt his connection with the egg and nodded.

He put the egg back into his storage ring and fell into thought.

’Since Elvador has been evolving for thousands of years, there must be a lot of things that are not available on Planet Zarth...’ His eyes narrowed slightly.

’Alice said that the primary currency used by people is mana stones. Although I have some mana stones, they are not enough to buy a lot of things.’

Evan took a deep breath and looked at the star-filled sky outside through the window.

"Maybe I should ask Alice if I can enter a dungeon. After all, dungeons are the best way to earn mana stones."
