Chapter 2422 The Mystery Of Their Disappearance
“Who are you referring to?”
Queenie feigned ignorance.
“Six fighters on the Divine Leaderboard from Raysonia mysteriously vanished, so they must have come to Erudia! And I reckon that they came in search of you both!” Edmund replied.
“But no one came…” Queenie countered. “You can look around though there’s obviously no sign of anyone ever having come here.”
Everyone searched the place, but there was indeed no sign of anyone having been there.
Thus, they could only drop the matter.
“Perhaps my master acted. He certainly won’t allow those foreigners to come and challenge us!” Edmund announced.
Then, he changed the topic, saying, “Never mind. Why don’t I tell you all some good news? After some modifications, Garrison Industry’s specialized battle suit has successfully passed the simulation experiment and is now ready for use!”
In the next moment, he continued, “However, it’s of no use to me anymore. I’ve already attained Level Four of the Iron Golem Technique! While I’m a bit amateurish, I can still somewhat wield it. I’m already impenetrable!”
Subsequently, he unleashed the Iron Golem Technique in front of everyone there.
That amazed them all, and they regarded him enviously.
“Is that all? And you dared to flaunt it and embarrass yourself? Frankly speaking, you’re even worse than Kuroki! You’re probably not as stable as he was!”
Levi’s voice sounded out of the blue.
Everyone was taken aback, and even Edmund gaped at him incredulously.
It should be my master saying this. Why is it coming from him instead?
Just when he was about to refute the man, his sister’s voice rang out. “You’re indeed beneath him, Edmund! Kuroki managed to attain Level Seven in just a short time, after all! Conversely, it’s probably good enough if you can master Level Five in the same amount of time!”
“Well…”
At that, Edmund had no choice but to relent.
At the sight of his disciple, Levi suddenly remembered something.
“Oh yes, where are those young talents of Erudia once upon a time? For instance, the Warrior Princess—Jessica, the Twin Meteorites who are descendants of Donte, and the like? They don’t seem to have made an appearance in this new era. Did something happen to them?” he queried.
Back when he was choosing the successor of the Iron Golem Technique, he did consider them.
After all, they were all talented fighters he once trained personally.
Furthermore, they once saved the dignity of Erudia in the martial arts world.
With a single battle, the entire world was shaken.
Alas, it seemed as though there was no more news of them.
By all rights, they should be even more in their element in the new era, like a duck to water.
However, there was no sign of them on the Divine Leaderboard.
Now that he caught sight of Edmund, that matter abruptly occurred to him.
“Oh, you mean the hundred young talents of Erudia? Like Evie, they’re the hope of Erudia. For that reason, they were taken away by Eragon when the new era began to join a closed, top-secret plan. Different training plans were customized according to each of their capabilities, with Eragon’s fighters instructing them closely. The purpose of that is to safeguard Erudia’s future. They’re also learning Eragon’s most orthodox techniques. Once they reemerge, they may be on par with us here!”
After pondering for a while, Edmund continued, “Come to think about it, this plan is drawing to an end. It’s already been two years.”
“Ah, so that’s what happened. I was just wondering why those kids never came to seek me out anymore when I’m their master, after all,” Levi commented with a chuckle.
Having learned of his disciples’ whereabouts, he was in a pretty good mood.
At least, they hadn’t been tainted by the fast-track techniques today and are training in orthodox techniques! In fact, they’re still using the techniques I taught them!
In response, Edmund chortled. “Since we’re speaking of this, I’ll just be frank with you all, okay? After they’ve completed their training plan, they might need your help.”
“Huh?”
Everyone was mystified, not quite understanding what he was trying to say.
They all looked at him in bemusement.
Edmund then shifted his gaze back to Levi. “Oh yes, they’ll also need your help.”
