All the high goblins that were still alive were his real descendants, but he had never told them this since he didn''t want to add more burden to them.
If he told them they were members of the last ruling party, some would then think that it was their responsibility to take their kingdom back.
Zarnak wanted them to move on and just go on with their lives.
"I will leave Petricia here then.
Tell her if you have chosen and are ready.
I will wait outside this place."
Alex felt it was better they waited outside since many goblins would probably hate them.
Staying there would also make Emily more depressed, so it was better they stayed away from the area.
He then stood up and prepared to leave, but Zarnak stopped him.
"Hunter, you haven''t told me your name."
"Just call me Alex.
What do you want to talk about?
I doubt you can tell me any useful information."
"I have two more requests."
This made Alex frown, but he gestured for Zarnak to continue.
"I hope you won''t mistreat my people; they''ve gone through a lot.
I cannot tell you the details, but every goblin here still has much potential to become stronger.
As long as you treat them right, I am sure you won''t regret it.
And for my last wish, I want you to kill me in a duel."
Alex agreed since his wish was not too much.
He also understood Zarnak''s last request; if he had just killed him without Zarnak fighting back, it could probably have attracted some attention from the one who had created this dungeon system.
He felt more curious about the potential Zarnak had mentioned, but Alex knew Zarnak could not tell him about it.
Otherwise, he would have already spilled all the details to make sure Alex treated his people better. Sёarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Meanwhile, in the cultivation world, MingYue had arrived at the secret realm.
The trip had gone smoothly, with only some monsters attacking them, but this posed no problem.
MingYue hadn''t even needed to raise a finger.
MingHao and ZanLu had easily finished them off.
The entrance to the secret realm had now been moved deep into the mountain.
ZanLu took out an engraved mana crystal that functioned like a key.
When it was near the portal, it reacted, making the portal appear.
The mana crystal key had been made by Alex with Vesa''s help; the idea had also come from Alex.
Since the nature of the energy was different, this would confuse cultivators trying to figure out the nature of the crystal in case they got their hands on it.
The air started to vibrate, creating a portal that amazed MingHao and Jian Feng.
In their knowledge, only a really big sect under an immortal could create its own base inside a secret realm.
Inside the portal, they quickly could feel the rich energy in the air, but it was different than the one they were used to; they could not put a finger on it. It was just different.
It wasn''t weird since they were breathing in concentrated Mana, all coming from high-quality mana crystals Alex had sent.
Since there had already been many studies on how Mana affected the human body positively, they weren''t afraid of any bad side effects.
As long as the mana particle in the air didn''t pass a certain threshold.
Alex looked forward to what would happen; he hoped some people would mutate and get their own abilities, like on Ainode, Alex''s planet.
In front of them, a big gate made of steel blocked the way, giving everyone a feeling of awe and reverence.
Above it, there was no plank; instead, the sect name, ''Bai Yue sect,'' was engraved directly on the wall.
The name had come from Alex.
MingYue still remembered when he had suggested it, "In my world, vampires are often related to the red moon, but red also sometimes means something sinister, so let''s just use white then.
Bai Yue, in my language, Bai means white, and Yue means moon, White moon.
Your name also has Yue, so it''s a good match."
MingYue liked the name Bai Yue, so she agreed to use it.
In total, the Bai Yue sect now had six islands, with only MingYue able to enter the highest area.
The commoners all now stayed on the first and second islands, with the sect members on the third to fifth islands, separated by their position.
Vesa had merged a few islands to build bigger living spaces.
Now, they only had outer disciples focusing on their practice to strengthen their foundation and discipline.
However, the training they underwent was not the same as that of other sects; it was a mix of cultivation methods and modern professional army training.
Usually, a cultivator''s training would focus more on individuality.
When they entered a sect and their potential was assessed, they would then start strengthening their foundation, taking some resources from the sect to ensure the qi was infused into their body correctly.
Depending on their talent, they would then be given a secret technique by the sect.
Those in the sect who had low potential were then given tasks to do the daily chores, while those with great potential focused on cultivation.
After their foundation was stabilized, their schedule would then start to change, adding training for secret techniques.
They were then split into outer disciples, the low grunts that were basically just a better word for servants, the inner disciples that they would use as cannon fodder, and finally, their real students, the core disciples.
The so-called geniuses or heaven-chosen.
This made the social class even more defined; as the name suggested, the servants licked the cannon fodder''s boots while they followed the geniuses, prepared to be ordered by them.
"MingYue, don''t you see this is a waste of resources?
It''s like the sect only needs some workers and servants, then they get it for free by baiting them with useless cultivation methods, in the end, all to feed those chosen ones.
They then try to instill loyalty by giving them many privileges.
So, we better change it."
