Chapter 139 - Arriving At Aragoth
"Man, we need a butler to maintain this place asap" while walking through the cobwebbed corridors of the Abyssal, Gaya said.
"Why don't you put up a sexy maid dress instead?" She froze stunned, behind the mask, he chuckled seeing her reaction.
"Why don't you ask Sadie, your pervy fuck" Michael received a punch on the shoulder for his suggestion from Gaya.
"You're still on that?"
"Of course I'm still on that, I won't let you sleep around with bitches like her, don't forget" there was a hint of possessiveness in her voice. In Michael's eyes, she was beyond beautiful, talented, funny, moreover, she was very supportive of him. In simple terms, she was a perfect wife material for him, therefore, if she made a move on him, Michael would gladly accept her as his better half. After all, he would choose her anytime over a cold bitch like Alicia any time of the day.
"Yes ma'am" he giggled in return.
"Oh?" she was surprised to hear his answer, she thought he would be a jerk and refuse. This gesture of him slightly made her feel elated, thinking that he might have feelings for her.
"Good" she put her hand around his neck before giving him a mild headbutt before they went to the teleporter to leave the Dark Forest.
***********************
The next day, Michael left the Sunrise sect before the early light putting on his Neo robes. They didn't use the flying swords but mounted the pegasus to go to Aragoth. Of course, Gaya packed her snacks which included, varieties of appetizers, desserts, main courses, and beverages to drink.
Since this was the baby dragon's first long trip, he was beyond excited, he showed his excitement by showering Michael with kisses and bites.
Araogoth was located in Kingdom Dradel, Although Dradel was the nearby kingdom of Bredia, it was still two weeks flying from the Sunrise Sect. The travel was mostly uneventful unless one counted the baby dragon throwing up occasionally because Gaya did barrel rolls with the pegasus as well as the baby dragon biting her ears as a payback.
Two weeks later, around noon, Michael, Baby Dragon, and Gaya had finally arrived at the Aragoth. They landed at the foot of the tallest mountain that resembled the shape of a sword pointing at the sky itself.
The surrounding had splendid mountain ranges and tall mountain peaks. The natural Arch energy was rich on top of the mountain. The mountains were surrounded by light fog all year long. This place truly gave off a divine and superior feeling.
This mountain range was called the Sword Mountains. Countless mountain peaks spread across the top of the Sword Mountain.
Just like the founder of the Sunrise sect, it was said that the founder of the Aragoth had also discovered an underground energy vein here, therefore, he occupied this mountain range and established the eternally prosperous Aragoth.
The energy vein, aside from it being able to provide the best cultivation environment and gather natural energies, was also a representation of fortune. Many powerful sects and families had occupied land with energy veins, this was the reason why they were eternally prosperous and had produced countless geniuses.
"Another stunning place!"
Michael and Baby dragon stared at the beautiful scenery filled with light fog, he couldn't help but praise it.
"Huhu" Baby Dragon nodded basking in the beauty.
"Stop staring you two, this is nothing compared to the-"
"Nagaland, yeah I know, you've said this almost a hundred times now"
Michael interjected, teasing her with a chuckle. She rolled her eyes and
Descended to the ground.
"Go no further!"
Just when they had ascended half the mountain, they heard a loud shout, and then three young men dressed in white clothes with a symbol sword etched on their chests walked towards them with arrogant expressions.
"Identify yourselves and state your reason to be here at Aragoth"
"Is that a Dragon?"
Michael's vision landed upon these three men, and he instantly discovered that they were only Body Refining stage warriors. They were probably amateurs as talented disciples of the outer circle wouldn't be guarding the entrance here.
However, as the disciples of Aragoth, even just being a novice disciple would be enough to make anyone proud of themselves. There were talented people amongst the novice disciples, and many of the current outer circle disciples and inner circle disciples were actually novice disciples at one point.
"Hisss" the Baby Dragon hissed when he noticed the youngster reaching out to touch him, the youngster quickly took his hand back in sudden shock.
"It's okay Baby Dragon" Michael brushed the Baby dragon's chin reassuring him before looking back at the three disciples.
"Name is Ghost and I'm here to meet your fellow disciples, Nathen Bradley"
When hearing the names Ghost and Nathen, those who had an arrogant look on their faces immediately had a change in expression. Their faces turned grey, and they wished to slap themselves a few times.
The young man in the center bowed his head, "Brother Ghost, forgive us for not recognizing you, Senior Brother Nathen told that you would come to meet him'' In this part of the land, Michael's name was not as famous as Noah's because Noah traveled to many places, killing people, making enemies left and right. In fact, he was on the wanted list of Aragoth before he joined the Guardians.
However, these three were able to recognize Michael as they had close ties to the students of Alchemy. Although Michael was unable to keep himself hidden from the world like back on earth because of the system, he still liked to keep a low profile and make as few enemies as possible, unlike Noah.
They followed the disciples through the paved roads into the inner section of the sect. Soon, they walked under the arch of the gate to discover wonderful and magnificent palaces.
"Cool" when he saw these parks, buildings, and rivers, he couldn't help but be amazed. Everything was perfect, the architecture of each building had its own magnificent style.
Right at this moment, two outer circle disciples walked up from ahead. When they saw Michael, unlike these three, they immediately recognized him and greeted him with eyes full of admiration and awe.
"Heavens! He is Ghost, the Ghost of River town! He looks so young, perhaps only 19-20 years old!"
"What is that on his shoulder?"
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god, it's… it's a dragon!"
"I heard he killed a Body Strengthening warrior while he was only at the Foundation stage! This man looks so delicate and handsome, it's hard to think that he is such a fierce man!"
"Oh my god, I want to hold that dragon in my hands!"
"Look at that chick beside him, she looks hot"
"I still can't believe he's a five freakin star Alchemist"
"Teacher Olivia won't shut up about him"
"That's it, I think she actually invited him here to give a special lecture to Alchemy students!"
"Lower your voice idiot, do you know how many young masters lost their lives coveting beauties like her?!"
"Wow! Ghost is so handsome, it would be nice if I could be his girlfriend!"
"Shut up slut, I heard Sadie and he has a thing between them"
"Why is he here?"……
The surrounding disciples' discussions became heated. Although people were communicating privately with quiet voices, he had good hearing, so he heard every single word spoken. He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. Among all these conversations, Gaya's ear twitched when she heard the two disciples mention the name Olivia. Her female instincts kicked in, thinking that Olivia might try to flirt with Ghost.
Obviously, his fame of being the 5-star Alchemist was spread across the Alchemy circle of Aragoth.
"Alright, alright, carry on with your own matters. Brother Ghost has gone through a long journey, I will need to bring him to Senior Brother Nathen's residence. In the future, if you have any questions regarding Alchemy, I'm sure Brother Ghost will show you some guidance during his stay"
The leading disciple waved at the disciples, then he continued leading him to the inner part.
Along the way, they met several disciples who had been admiring him as a 5-star Alchemist. All of them happily greeted him and were stunned looking at the Baby dragon. The disciples of the Aragoth weren't idiots, pleasing him may not give them any advantages, but it surely wouldn't bring them any disadvantages either.
Eventually, they passed the area where all the living quarters of students were located. Behind the living quarters, a very fine courtyard was built. It was located at the top of the mountain, isolated from the living quarters' area. Compared to the old shaggy home of his in the Sunrise sect, the house in front of looked like a palace, it was not suitable to call it a home but a bungalow. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there was even a waterfall nearby. The scene was very soothing, the natural Arch energy was rich, and it was isolated from all the noise coming from the living quarters' area. This was simply the best place for cultivation, not that Michael needed a place like this to cultivate.
"Wait here, Brother Ghost, I'll go inside and bring Senior Brother Nathen"
"Cool," Michael stood there basking in the beauty while the trio of disciples went towards Nathen's house to inform him.
"Nathen's not home, Ryker" Michael turned his gaze away from the waterfall to see a couple of girls walking towards him, shouting at the trio of disciples who were knocking on the door.
They failed to notice Michael on the sidelines, instead, they shouted at the trio.
"Teacher Olivia is making every disciple take the potion exams, thank the Sun God we were able to escape before she locks us in the potion lab"
