Chapter 1161: Chapter 1160 Every Five Hundred Years

No matter how Sophie Alstreim saw it, Alchemist Davis possessed almost no chances of dying here with a King Beast Stage Magical Beast present. She couldn't help but turn away as her cheeks turned red.

She had gotten ahead of herself at the moment of heat, almost becoming an embarrassment in the process of trying to save him when he didn't need saving in the first place!

"Master... I am not greedy..." Nadia's lips curved.

Davis became slightly taken aback as he saw that Nadia imperceptibly pouted. He didn't think that she would display such a reaction. While his laughter died, he added, "I was just kidding. You can take all the carcasses you want."

Nadia lightly smiled. She hopped away from the wet sand and returned to his place, silently content with watching his back in concealment.

Davis turned to look at Sophie Alstreim, "So Miss Guide, what is the best way to reach the Purple Thunderflame mountain?"

"Uhh..." Sophie Alstreim thought for a moment before asking a question, "Does Alchemist Davis wants to visit new islands or travel by the sea region? I'm asking because the elites who have come here in the past have secured a relatively safe sea-region route towards the Purple Thunderflame Mountain for the purpose of gathering resources. This route is the most recent, so I think we can utilize it to not encounter Eighth Stage Magical Beasts."

"Does the Purple Thunderflame Mountain have Eighth Stage Magical Beasts?"

"Yes, a few King Rank Species inhabit that island..." Sophie Alstreim quickly answered, "Usually, only our Elders would head to collect the Flame Essence and the other resource in the inner region, but it's all right. We are only going to gather resources at the periphery, so we would not encounter those Eighth Stage Magical Beasts easily."

"Oh? Do you mean to say that the island's core region is not explored?"

Sophie Alstreim dryly laughed, "It isn't as if it isn't explored, but even our Peak-Level Eighth Stage Experts would find it difficult to survive in the core region. Only our Ancestors could traverse, but it seems that..."

Sophie Alstreim pursed her lips before she sighed, "There's another extremely powerful force that comes to rob... forcefully take the resources in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago every five hundred years."

"What...?" Davis narrowed his eyes.

Was the general history he read about the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago that useless!? It didn't contain this information at all!

Sophie Alstreim noticed Davis's expression before she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "This information is hidden even from the elites so that we, the Alstreim Family don't lose face. I only know it because my grandfather wanted me to know the immensity of the world we're living in..."

Davis blinked. No wonder Sophie Alstreim wasn't biased against Evelynn. She knew a lot, not being bound by prejudice, but she didn't have the experience to traverse outside. Moreover, the more he talked with her, the more he liked her character.

"Then... what's that 'extremely powerful' force that bullies our Territorial rights?"

Sophie Alstreim squinted her beautiful brows, "I think it is not only that 'extremely powerful' force, but many other powers are invading this danger zone every five hundred years. If we do nothing, they won't bother us either. Otherwise, it is not strange to say that we might suffer an immense loss or even extermination in the blink of an eye."

"The power at the forefront of all this is none other than a mid-sized Territory's Hegemon, the Infernal Lightning Palace!"

Davis's eyes widened. When Sophie Alstreim said all this, he had an inkling that the Infernal Lightning Palace might be it! However, he didn't know anything about it other than the fact that it was the southeasternmost mid-sized Territory in the Fifty-Two Territories Map.

It was far away even from the Dual Lotus Manor Territory.

Sophie Alstreim sighed, "If it were a righteous path power, it would at least respect our wishes, but since it is wicked path power, it does as it wants, not even heeding the wishes of the top righteous powers. Then since they are already invading us, the other powers that trained in Lightning Laws used this chance to their convenience and to come and rob of our territorial resources."

"It's a black mark in our history, and those powers only land on the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago. Since we are not endangered, the Alstreim Family, the Nine Western Territories, and the top righteous powers turn a blind eye towards them, not even bothering to reveal this disgrace."

"This kind of situation allowed a balance to come into place!" Sophie Alstreim gritted her teeth in helplessness.

"Ah!" Davis suddenly recalled a piece of information from the general history, "It was said that the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago is closed off every five hundred years. So this is what they meant!?"

"Most likely, yes..." Sophie Alstreim's cheeks turned red from further embarrassment!

Davis's brows twitched. He had thought the Alstreim Family had sealed off the place because of the birth of some amazing, unique treasure, but it seems like they did it to not lose face and also kept this tradition of closing this danger zone every five hundred years to protect their elite youths from getting massacred.

No wonder Ancestor Dian Alstreim kept lamenting his own fate but was overjoyed with his arrival. If the previous Ancestors couldn't even push invaders out but instead feigned ignorance towards these robbers, then no wonder Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't dare leave the Alstreim Family.

If he left, it would've spelled the complete demise of the Alstreim Family.

'The Alstreim Family's Hope, huh...' Davis wryly smiled at the expectations placed on him.

In any case, the general history record at least told him that there were at least three hundred more years for the five-hundred years period to end. Therefore, there were no worries that people from the Infernal Lightning Palace or the other powers would be present.

"What about the individual cultivators who come here to temper themselves?" Davis narrowed his eyes.

Sophie Alstreim shook her head, "The Alstreim Family allows individual cultivators to enter every fifty years upon taking a sum of fee, so there's still twenty years left for that to happen. However, it is impossible for us to keep a check on every direction of the vast Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, so if they had entered from a blind spot, we wouldn't know."

"Nevertheless, most cultivators entering from some outer island usually end up dead as a corpse from the abnormality of the thundershower, and we won't even know that since their corpse usually ends up in the magical beast's stomach before coming out as po- uh... waste." Sophie Alstreim had her fun explaining, but when she was about to utter that coarse word, she blushed before using another word.

Davis inwardly laughed but didn't let it show it on his face, "Well then, let's go with the sea route."

"Alright..." Sophie Alstreim nodded and stared at Davis for a while.

Davis narrowed his brows, "What's wrong... Did you not bring a flying boat?"

How could she forget to bring one when she was making her way to the Purple Thunderflame Mountain? He didn't believe it.

Sophie Alstreim avoided his gaze, "I did, but..."

"Okay, whatever..." She was like 'fuck it' and waved her hand.

A tiny Peak-Level King Grade Construct appeared in their view, causing Davis to uncontrollably let out a roar of laughter, "Ahahaha! You also stole this, didn't you!?"

Sophie Alstreim heavily blushed.

Davis didn't continue to tease her and boarded on the flying boat, flying a seat for himself. Sophie Alstreim flew towards him and took the helm. She began to drive since she knew the route, seemingly taking out a map and referring from it. She looked around and noticed a particular seamark, knowing where she was on the map before activating the boat using High-Level Spirit Stones.

If it were hers, she would feel the pain, but she stole that too, making her have a concealed excited expression on her face. It was the first time she was adventuring out alone, but it turned that she had a chance encounter and was now traveling with the man she liked!

Even the bit of guilt she had from stealing her father's wealth had disappeared into thin air when she realized that if she didn't decide to steal, she wouldn't have come here and would've failed to consequently meet Alchemist Davis!

This was fate!

She screamed in her mind, delusionally imagining numerous scenarios, but once she recalled the rejection she received and the coolness he had shown her, her expression deflated as her mood dropped.

'I shouldn't be having these strange thoughts and expectations...' She sighed, recasting her gaze at the torrential sea and the map from time to time.

The flying boat rocked from the fierce sea wind, producing screeching sounds as the frame shook, almost as if it was going to break, but Davis knew that it was still safe. As the sea below them churned, the heads and fins of numerous magical sea-beasts peeked out, but since Davis was releasing his High-Level Martial Master Stage martial energy as a warning, almost none of the magical sea-beasts dared to attack, letting them pass by.

Sophie Alstreim controlled the flying boat, cautiously traversing the sea route. They crossed the first island, coming into an encounter with a Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical-Sea Beast, but Davis simply threw his Grieving Emerald Scythe at it using sixty percent of his might as he suppressed its soul when it jumped out of the sea, simply breaking its crystal core in one shot.

Sophie Alstreim had her mouth agape in utter shock! She just had the shock of her life when she saw him radiate High-Level Martial Master Stage undulations to ward off the magical sea-beasts but to think that Alchemist Davis was capable of instakilling a Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Beast...!?

Her heart palpitated uncontrollably at this mind-boggling fact!

So, the Lord of the Amberal Armored Armadillos wasn't killed by Nadia but Alchemist Davis!?

All this time, she thought that it was Nadia even though Davis said that he killed it.

At this rate, did he even need the protection of the concealed protector, the King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf!?
