Half a month ago, a group of Beyonders attacked the headquarters of the 'Eye of Ancient Meng'!
Though the 'Eye of Ancient Meng' resisted fiercely, their enemies were simply too powerful. In the end, the headquarters was breached, its members suffered grievous casualties, and the survivors scattered to break out.
Though Bruce was lucky enough to escape, he was hunted all the way and forced to hide throughout Plymouth, eventually seeking shelter with Connelly Earse of the 'Oak Ring'.
And as the situation grew increasingly urgent, he had no choice but to ask his friend 'Aaron' for help.
Did Bruce awaken some kind of bad-luck curse? Why does trouble follow him everywhere he goes?
Come to think of it, he started as an ordinary person, then was noticed by a Beyonder and taken on as a disciple, then his teacher died... Then he joined an academy... and right afterward, the academy was wiped out... This disaster-aura setup... really does have a bit of protagonist fate to it.
Aaron rubbed his chin, amused by the thought.
Unfortunately... not everyone can bear this kind of protagonist's luck...
With a sigh, he stroked the Green Forest Ring of Power on his hand.
A phantom figure in elaborate, resplendent formal attire immediately emerged. It was none other than the evil spirit Auclair.
Aaron promptly sent his spirit body out of his flesh, took control of Auclair's body, and slipped into the wall, vanishing from sight.
Judging from the letter, Bruce was already nearing the end of his rope. Otherwise, he would never have written to try contacting him.
His circumstances must have reached a truly precarious point by now!
Ruined District.
This was Plymouth's poorest district, without question.
The houses were dilapidated, with dangerous buildings everywhere, and the occupancy rate was extremely low.
