Chapter 75: Making preparation for departure

Obviously, Kayn can't expect to get an immediate result after telling Mayor Sebastian about the Item Fusion. It would take some time before the latter starts showing what he is going to do with that information.

So, after he finished fusing the remaining items, which gave him fifteen Molten Ice Swords, each with different numbers of similar passive and active skills to the first one with five being the highest number and three being the lowest, and ten pieces of daggers called Melting Icicle Dagger, a ridiculous name, he immediately bid farewell to Mayor Sebastian and returned to his home.

The same driver, who Kayn finally got to know as Ivan, dropped him off in front of his house.

After Ivan leaves, Kayn can't help shaking his head in dismay.

As expected, Mayor Sebastian didn't ask for even a single piece of equipment from him. It wasn't strange, really. But it did put him in an awkward position where he has to return something to Mayor Sebastian someday. Mayor Sebastian also seems to like it that way, making him feel slightly annoyed by it. But what can he do? He was the one who needed his help in the first place.

"I guess it can't be helped," Kayn muttered to himself as he opened the door of his apartment.

At the moment, he is no longer living in a small and packed room. He has rented a spacious apartment for himself the other day and after signing all paperwork he immediately relocated.

The apartment is one hundred square meters in size, it has two rooms, one for him and the other for Natas, each having its own bathroom, albeit Natas obviously won't be using his, thus saving him some credit for their water bill. There's a kitchen, a cooking area, a living room, and a supposed storage room which he made into a small gym so that he won't have to go somewhere else to train his body.

It cost him exactly the 50,000 credits that Mayor Sebastian gave to him back then to rent this apartment for two months.

Needless to say, he isn't worried about earning money in the meantime, especially with all the equipment he has inside his Storage Ring right now. His rough calculation is he could earn close to a million credits if he sells all of them. That's only if he sells them in direct channels. If he goes to an auction house, it would be a completely different story.

Kayn put the Storage Ring in front of the TV so that he won't forget it. Beside it is the remote of the TV and the remote of the AC. If he still forgets it, then there's definitely something wrong with his brain.

"So, are you going to add what happened today to your list?" Natas asked.

"There's no need," Kayn shook his head. The 'List' that Natas mentioned is his list of all the important future events he could remember in his mind at the present moment.

Honestly, the list isn't really that long. In fact, there are only less than twenty future contents he had written so far. That's because two days ago when he tried to recollect his memories so he could make a list of all events that happened in the future and not forget about them, he started experiencing painful headaches in his head. Because of that, he has no other choice but to write only those he can remember and just slowly recollect the others later on.

The reason why he doesn't want to write what might possibly come in the future after they told Mayor Sebastian about the Item Fusion is that regardless of it being good or bad, it won't affect him directly as long as Mayor Sebastian doesn't reveal that he got the information from him.

What's written on his list are only the events that could directly or indirectly affect his future growth, his revenge, and his goal of reaching the 1,000th floor of the 'Tower'. In the case of the Item Fusion, it won't affect him that much, because just like what Natas said before, even if the world comes to know the method of Item Fusion, monsters or any inhabitants of the 'Tower' with a dual element or multi-element are hard to come by, so there's rarely any chance to perform the Item Fusion.

"By the way, we are going to enter 'The Bridge' tomorrow. Are you ready?"

Hearing Natas' reminder, Kayn can't help looking at the Entry Crystal placed in front of the TV. "I can't say for certain. But the preparation I've made should be more than enough for me to survive,"

'The Bridge'. It is one of the few remaining places that he has never personally entered inside the 'Tower'. So, he doesn't know what exactly to expect and what challenges might come his way. But to tell the truth, that's actually what will make this adventurer perfect for him.

Experiencing the unknown is one of the best feelings that the 'Tower' could offer to those people to whom it had granted entry to enter its floors, especially people like him who have more or less experienced countless things already.

"I have also tried to recollect as much information I can remember about those that gotten out alive from 'The Bridge'. And all I can say is, If I can't be the one to clear it, then I'll simply help whoever can so that I won't be stuck in that place for a long time,"

Just like what he said before, anyone that enters 'The Bridge' won't be able to get out unless someone clears it.

A lot of individuals from different places on Earth have already entered 'The Bridge' from the moment the 'Tower' has first granted access to enter its floors. And until now, not one of them has ever returned. And it's not even clear whether they are dead or still alive. He doesn't want to be one of those people. So, he'll make sure to do whatever it takes to get out in less than a month. Otherwise, he'd be missing something really important. And if it takes even longer than that, then he'd miss even more events that could help him tremendously.

"That's good! So, what are we going to do today?"

"Make preparations for my departure,"

He isn't the type of person to leave without informing the people that he knows would feel worried about him that he is going somewhere. However, he isn't just going to write any letter whatsoever, at least not to all of them.

"First and foremost, let's handle the matter with Rowan Starlight," Kayn dialed Rowan's phone number in his phone.

In the past two days, he had been exchanging some friendly greetings and gotten to know Rowan even more. More or less, they can consider each other as friends.

The phone started ringing, and not long after, Rowan answered his call.

"What's up, Kayn!"

"Remember what I told you before about leaving the Starlight Family as soon as possible. Have you made up your mind yet?"

"I accept your condition. But are you really sure that the Kraken Republic is the best place for me to go after leaving my family? You should be more than aware of the relationship between our nation and their nation right? Not to mention, I came from a very influential family in the Dragon Beast Republic, so there are bound to be some issues… Not to mention, a lot of disadvantages for me. Why don't I just go to the Mercenary Nation?"

"It's exactly because of that that it's best for you to go to the Kraken Republic. What do you think is the first thought that would come into the minds of your family once you leave? Obviously, they would assume you went to the Mercenary Nation. By then, it wouldn't take long for them to find you. And besides, you'd be using an alias. Do you seriously plan on making a name in the Kraken Republic using your real name? If that's what you are planning on doing, I'd rather have you remain in your family. At least by doing so, there's a high chance that you can stay alive,"

"Okay, okay, chill dude!" Rowan chuckled. "By the way, I'll be leaving tomorrow,"

Kayn can't help breathing a sigh of relief after hearing that. He was afraid that because of what he did before, Rowan won't leave the Dragon Beast Republic anymore. So, to make sure that it would still happen, he kept on proposing and persuading the latter to go to the Kraken Republic. Fortunately, Rowan finally agreed.

"I'll also be going somewhere tomorrow. That's why I called right now,"

"Where are you going?"

"I'll be entering 'The Bridge',"

"WHAT?!" A sound of a plate breaking could be heard from the other line. "Why?"

"To get something important that will help us,"

"Do you really have to enter that freaking forbidden place?"

"I don't have a choice. 'That Person' told me to get inside," Kayn is referring to Natas as 'That Person' since he obviously can't say that he was the one that thought about all the ideas and plans that they'd be doing in the future, right? By using Natas, he won't have to explain all the time as he could just say "It was that person's plan,".

"Do you truly trust that person?"

"It was him that told me to save you,"

"I know. But isn't that suspicious? The only people that knows about what will happen to me at that time were only the members of the Starlight Family, yet that person was about to get that information,"

"I've told you before, he is someone from the 'Tower',"

"That doesn't mean we can trust him. And besides, all people that get inside the 'Tower' shouldn't be trusted by newbies like us,"

"He is not a Hero,"

"Then who exactly is he? One of the inhabitants of the 'Tower?'"

"I'll tell you about it once I get out of 'The Bridge',"

"Okay, I understand! I hope you will let me meet that person soon,"

"When that time comes, you'd be thanking him on your knees," Kayn chuckled. "Anyways, I'll be calling some other people to bid farewell,"

"I can already guess that it's your girlfriend based on the sudden change of your tone,"

"Well, I have to, right?"

"Goodbye!"

Toot!

The call instantly ended, making Kayn smile at Rowan's childish act.

Just like what Rowan predicted, after ending the call with him, Kayn immediately called Selina and started telling her about his departure.
