NovelOnlineV Back at the Land of Nion, Herman seemed to be in a predicament with issues he could not openly discuss. He neither agreed nor refused Alfius' request and instead arranged for the group to temporarily rest here.
Alfius noticed then that it was getting late. Since both he and Tilly had sustained sinjuries earlier, he accepted the offer. More importantly, he wanted to persuade Herman to help him since he knew he was not strong enough to overthrow the Shadow Warriors himself.
Night fell, and Alfius could not sleep, so he went up to the rooftop. When he got there, he saw Ply.
"Yo, how's it going, Alfius?" "Hello," Alfius replied casually and then found a step to sit on.

"Why?" Alfius asked, puzzled.
"Isn't it obvious? It's because of your request." "My request? Does he have skind of dilemma?" Alfius asked Ply.
Ply approached Alfius angrily. Seeing her tight shorts and black stockings, Alfius turned his head in embarrassment.
"You're too close," Alfius stammered.
"Are you really that clueless?" Ply said, poking Alfius' head. "Is your mind only filled with thoughts of revenge? Honestly!" she said exasperatedly and then sat down next to him.
"Look," Ply said as she pointed toward the brightly lit city.
"This place is still the same, still so prosperous and not reduced to ruins. Everyone here doesn't have to be displaced," Ply said. "Yes." Alfius nodded, gazing at the scenery in a trance. "It's beautiful. Maintaining this beauty must be very difficult." Ply nodded. "Yes, it is very difficult. This city is called 'Instinct.' Grandpa poured his entire life into protecting what he saw as beautiful here. He made many sacrifices to maintain the city's beauty.
"There are reasons why neither the Twilight Sect nor the Shadow Warriors have attacked this place. This city should've been a battleground, but thanks to Grandpa's efforts, it has been spared.
"It's also probably why Grandpa is struggling. It's not that he's brushing you off His hands are just really tied. Grandpa has business with both organizations, but at his core, he despises conflict.

Thank you." "Think nothing of it." Ply stood up. "Good luck. I wish you success." She then walked down from the rooftop.

"If Herman supports me, will this place also beca wasteland?" It was the next day.
"Lord Alfius? Why are you suddenly leaving?" Mosley asked.
"It's nothing. Let's visit Herman. We can't keep taking advantage of his hospitality," Alfius replied.
They arrived on the 50th floor and knocked on the door.
"Herman? Herman?" "Maybe he's still asleep. It's quite early," Mosley suggested. "You're right." Alfius nodded. Just then, his stomach growled.
Mosley immediately said, "Hear that? It's because you didn't eat properly yesterday. Let's go to the hall downstairs and get something to eat." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAlfius shook his head. "Let's eat outside." "Alright, let's go."
