Affinity: Chaos Chapter 542 - The Burchard Family

Chapter 542 – The Burchard Family

Lucan told Grey he could rest at his place until he recovered, which he agreed to, he was too tired to even leave the platform, much less the compound.

Their next destination was still a good distance away, and the ruin would stay open for a few more days before it closes. Void was left breathless by the countless shiny things he was seeing.

When he spoke with Grey, he referred to the Edinburgh mansion as a shiny heaven. Grey didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard how he described the place.

If he wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't mind staying behind to learn a thing or two about forge mastering. He hadn't been able to practice since he left the Azure continent, and he developed quite an interest in it after leaving the trial land.

Five hours later.

"Thank you for your kindness, we will be leaving now," Grey bowed to the Edinburgh family who accompanied him to the front door of the mansion.

"Are you sure you're feeling alright?" Lucan couldn't help but ask.

Even he hadn't recovered completely, yet Grey , who was more injured than he was, looked fine. He couldn't wrap his head around how Grey was able to recover this quickly, even with a good healing tonic, it should still take a day or two for him to recover.

"Yeah, my injuries were nothing serious," Grey replied.

"Alright, you're welcome to visit anytime you are around," Lucan said after getting confirmation from Grey.

"Thank you," Grey said before turning around.

He was currently dressed in blue long sleeves and trousers, and he had taken out another mask.

"Oh, before you leave, I have something for your cat," Lucan brought out a shiny large silver plate from his storage ring.

"This is a defensive treasure, it can repel the attacks of Elementalists below the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane," He explained while tossing it to Grey.

Before Grey could catch it, Void appeared before him, grabbing onto the silver plate and disappearing with it.

The plate was over six times his size, but he didn't care, as long as it's shiny, it should be heading into his collection, besides, it was meant for him anyway.

Grey shook his head when he saw this and lowered his hand, "Thank you for the gift, I don't have much to offer, you can have this,"

He didn't want it to seem as if they were freeloading, after all, Void had already collected one shiny orb, before this silver plate, and unlike the orb, this was a treasure. Since Lucan was trying to create ties with him, he felt he should also show some effort as well.

What he offered them was the healing tonic they obtained from the Blooming Viper, from Ellis' reaction when he used it the last time, he could tell it was also something precious here.

Lucan didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the tonic, he was surprised when he knew the value of it. This was not something you get to see every day. What Grey offered was countless times more valuable than the two items he gave to Void.

"Thank you, and goodbye. I hope we meet again," He waved as Grey and Sylvia walked away from the mansion.

….

While Grey and Sylvia were leaving the mansion. A group of people entered the Polaris region. It was none other than the group who were with the Gayle family when Sylvia's family members came searching for her.

The young man who was in the lead was sitting on a carriage that was being carried by Griffins.

"According to their movements, they should be headed towards the place where the first person in the Origin Plane is located," A middle-aged man in the carriage reported to the young man.

"Hmm, ask around to see where this person ranked first is currently located," The young man ordered.

"I've already done that young lord, a ruin opened up some days ago, and the boy ranked first is there," The middle-aged man said.

"Good, we're heading there," The young man said, giving off a cold aura.

"Young lord, do you think Sylvia's family will let you do as you wish? Since they're also searching for her, they should be there as well." The middle-aged man said.

"Hmph! They wouldn't want to fight against us over someone who isn't from their family, and besides, I'm only going to challenge him," The young man said coldly.

"You're right," The middle-aged man nodded before walking out of the carriage.

"Hmph! Does she think she can find anyone who can defeat me? Heh! I'll see just what this candidate of hers has," The young man scoffed coldly.

….

Grey and Sylvia were unaware of the people coming after them. If Sylvia knew, she wouldn't dare to let Grey head out on his own.

After the duo left the city, they headed straight for the city where Sylvia said she would be searching for one of the partic.i.p.ants she saw in this region.

"We'll be separating here, if you do decide to come, search for the Burchard family, you can find me there," Sylvia said to Grey while handing Void over to him.

"The Burchard family, got it," Grey nodded.

"Thank you for your help so far," He bowed to her before turning around.

"It's alright, I hope we meet sooner than expected," Sylvia said with a smile.

"Goodbye," Grey waved, before walking away.

He was currently headed towards the teleportation array in the city, his current destination was Payne City, the last city in the Polaris region before leaving the Eastern Continent.

Sylvia watched his figure as he disappeared into the busy streets.

"I hope he stays safe, that mark shouldn't trouble him too much since the range has been reduced," She muttered before turning around, heading into the city.

Grey and Void were once again left alone to travel.. This was what the duo preferred since Grey would get a chance to be free and use whatever elements he wanted without having to hide.
