Chapter 1474 Meeting Conor Dawson Once Again

Chapter 1474 Meeting Conor Dawson Once Again

Western Continent.
The Pyrmond Faction.
Grey could be seen sitting silently in his building. It had been a few weeks since he returned, but there had been no changes for him.
He sighed and gave up on getting another domain.
Since he returned, he locked himself up for weeks and absorbed the blood essence of the Wind Elemental Cat, but he wasn't able to awaken his wind domain.
He wished he could awaken another domain before breaking through to the Sovereign Plane, but it didn't look likely at the moment. With no other choice, he gave up.
"I don't know what will happen when I'm breaking through to the Sovereign Plane." He murmured to himself, after careful thinking, he decided to leave the Faction.
During the last few times he had broken through, there has been one commotion or another. If he caused a commotion here and his secret was exposed to everyone, then the danger he would be in might multiply.
'I should get father to watch out for me. He knows everything.' He thought and without hesitation, he walked out of his place.
On his way out of the Faction ground, he received a voice transmission from the Faction Leader. Before he could react, he was teleported to the Faction Leader's cave.
"You're leaving again?" The Faction Leader looked at Grey curiously. He had been monitoring Grey's movement since he returned from the mission and he had been inside all through. Seeing him walk towards the gate the second he stepped out was a little surprising.
"I have to search for opportunities to break through to the Sovereign Plane outside the Faction. From the looks of it, I can't break through while idle." Grey explained.
Most of the times he has gotten a major breakthrough to the next Plane, there has generally been something to stimulate him, or so he wanted the Faction Leader to believe.
"I see. Since you're leaving I won't stop you." The Faction Leader nodded in understanding before bringing out a few talismans, "Take these. I know your father might have given you stronger ones, but this should help against weaker opponents."
Grey was someone he cherished, and he knew the danger Grey was in at the moment. Most people want him dead, and there's no way Grey could fight against Sovereigns if he were attacked by one while he was on the course of getting to the Sovereign Plane. The only way he could protect him was by giving him multiple talismans. He might not be as strong as Grey's father, but he was a top expert at the Peak of the Sovereign Plane.
Grey didn't reject the talismans, he took them and bowed to the Faction Leader. With nothing else stopping him, Grey left the place, heading in the direction of the Dawson Family. He needed to meet up with his father.
On his way to the Dawson manor, he tried to check his connection with the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was still in the secret realm which he expected. After observing what was happening, he left. He didn't want to blow his cover, at least not so soon.
If others notice a change in the actions of the Prince, there is a chance they might suspect something like that happened.
….
A few days later.
Grey arrived at the Dawson manor very quickly. At the time he arrived there, he didn't meet his father, but he encountered someone he was acquainted with, Conor Dawson.
The duo hadn't crossed paths in a long while and to Grey's surprise, Conor was in the Mid stages of the Venerable Plane when they met.
"Grey, it's been a while. How are you?"
The duo started conversing as they waited for Grey's father to return. Conor knew of Grey's parents' absence, but Lucas returned some days ago and has been in the manor ever since. He left for some business before Grey arrived and would return the next day.
Grey and Conor spent the day talking before they went into the City to explore it. Grey hadn't gone to too many places in the Upoya Region, and after the duo explored the City, Conor suggested they head out.
One of the guards was told to inform Grey's father of his presence so as to ensure he didn't leave while the duo were away.
….
"What happened to the war for the secret realm, did they stop?" Grey asked as they walked.
When he was brought to his grandfather the first time, he fought for a while in the war, killing multiple people. He found it strange that for a while now, he hadn't heard anything about it.
"Thanks to you, they stopped attacking after we got allies. You didn't know?" Conor was shocked at the fact that Grey didn't know about it.
Grey shook his head. He didn't really concern himself with the aftermath.
Conor went on to tell him how his act saved the Dawson Family from the stress of war. The reason Lucas could travel this freely was all due to this. Also, there's the supposed upcoming war with the Gnomes. Everyone knew there were bigger things to concern themselves with than killing each over a secret realm neither of them could enjoy if they didn't fight off the Gnomes.
In the end, Grey's actions as well as that of the Gnomes stopped the war that had been raging on for so long.
'Amazing how they stopped just like that after causing the deaths of thousands.' Grey thought to himself.
Most of the people who died as a result of the battle are those who weren't at the top of power. It was a sad thing thinking about it. They died fighting for something they couldn't enjoy. Even if they didn't die and won the battle in the end, most of them still wouldn't get the opportunity to enter the secret realm.
He shook his head and continued following behind Conor. Being Venerables meant that they could travel kilometers in a matter of seconds.
Before long, they were almost at the end of the Upoya Region.
Grey stopped and looked behind him, "We're being followed."
