Sam took his communication token and called his friend's communication channel.
"Hey guys, I don't know how you guys brought me here, but it's good work. Somebody please, get me a meal from Mackey. I'm starving."
The three were overjoyed when they heard his voice and Watt who was on the silver wind and on his way to the tower turned around and went to Mackey's restaurant to get some food.
He packed every dish available there at the moment and returned to the tower.
When they got to the tower, Sam was in the shower and he didn't come out for more than an hour.
He came out refreshed and Watt served food on the table.
For a while no one spoke. They left Sam to eat as they watched him devour dish after dish.
After more than half an hour, the meal was finally finished.
He finally saw his friends, who were waiting for him to finish eating, and said.
"What's up, guys? Excuse me. I'm really starving."
They hugged each other and after some small talk, they finally got to the point.
"How long have I been out? How did you bring me here?"
"You've been out four more than two months, you should be down for another month. Sirona set up a formation with your body and speed up your process of absorbing that black energy."
"Syrona? Looks like you guys have met and the reunion between the old cousins seems positive. I'm surprised he agreed to help me."
"Well, actually, he's the one who wants to help you. It seems like he has something to talk to you about. He has been bothering me constantly. So, I decided to show her your condition and tell her to back off a little. . But he said he could speed up the process and from the looks of it, it worked."
They talked about how the emperor smuggled them right under the noses of the six major powers.
The church, the war going on, and so on. After a while, Sam spoke.
"So, the four major underground forces that occupied the four empires were the foundation of the church and due to luck or coincidence, we destroyed the Black Water here and along with the formation of the network, we destroyed the Black Water, they cannot run their magic in the empire. .
It was really unexpected.
Then are the fallen, are they part of the church too?"
"I came there.
The Church has not done anything to us to this day. Today we got the latest battle report and that says two small forces are lost under the control of the church. But in one of the other small forces, the church lost its footing.
No matter how we look at it, this is not a good time to deal with us. We don't understand why they're sending troops to us." Philip explained.
"Wait, didn't you say that the followers you saw in the eastern continent were all great and higher natural cultivators? Why are those beginner stage cultivators attacking us? Aren't they supposed to send us great natural cultivators?"
"No, they don't directly become great natural cultivators, they actually become novices when they are converted and they will grow until they become great natural cultivators."
"That means they are followers who have just repented."
Sam thought for a moment and felt something was wrong. Even he would not concentrate on an empire in a corner when he had to fight against the six great powers and waste his soldiers dragging the war.
He suddenly thought and asked.
"How long will it take for them to become Grand realm cultivators from Beginner cultivators?"
"Fifteen days or so."
After a few more silences. Sam suddenly said.
"I think the war will reach its final stage in fifteen days."
"What do you mean?"
“If it was me, there might only be one reason for me to send a new follower to move here. Since he was fighting with great strength, he needed all the manpower he could get, but Novice level fighters were of little use against great powers.
Because they were using great natural cultivators as normal soldiers.
Now that he occupied two small powers, there would be a freshly created stream of followers and for him to use them, he would need at least fifteen days.
This could mean just one thing and that is OId One does not see itself needing thousands of these additional soldiers in the next fifteen days."
Sam explained his conjecture and the others were also thinking in that direction, although what Sam said sounded a bit unreasonable, it made sense.
"Call Arc and tell him about what we think and let's see if the thunder god's temple will listen to his conjecture," sam said to Philip who then nodded and left the place to call.
After a few minutes, he came back and said.
"Arc is currently on his way back to Empire, I think he's traveling too fast, I can't reach his communication device."
"Of course, then we'll talk to him after he reaches the empire. After all, what do we have about this church and its followers?"
“We caught one of the hotel managers who turned out to be a church member, but he was not a follower or anything, he was just a commoner who was sold out of greed.
In addition Arc caught some followers and they are still in captivity. He sent some of them here because we said you'd wake up today, if it wasn't for the attack from the church, he'd be here."
“Then what we are waiting for, let's see what we can find from their bodies. The followers of this church would be very annoying even with the formation of the city if they continuously blew themselves up.
We need to find some precautions against them before the next wave."
Afterwards, Sam goes to talk to Sirona while the group goes to take the captives.
"Thank you for helping me."
He thanked me as soon as he saw her.
"You don't need to thank me, I just want to talk to you earlier, so I set up that formation."
"about that? Don't you know it's dangerous? I'll die if the formation fails. You can't just use a part of my body as a knot."
"Why dangerous? I was great at creating formations so simple."
Sam shook his head and did not bother arguing with him, after all he still woke up early because of him, so he decided not to take him.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
He finally got to the point.
"How do you know that my family will try to kill me?"
"Is this what you want to talk about?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"I think."
"You guess?"
"Yes, from the way you speak, I understand how they raised you and what your purpose is to serve them, so I guess what will happen if you don't bring the shadow sword with you and that's what I'm telling you."
"But why are they acting like that? I'm telling the truth."
"Haha, sometimes the truth doesn't matter Sirona. In your case, it doesn't matter. They never really cared about you, for them, you were just a valuable asset they wanted to control, and to achieve that, he said, they imagine the beautiful lies in front of you and you make your whole life think that the best thing in your life is to work for them.
But that's not reality, what you saw before you escaped from the Usaine sect is the only reality."
Sirona did not speak for a second and one could see that her beautiful eyes had become watery.
"But why do they have to lie to me all the time?"
He muttered to himself. Sam didn't answer that question.
If he can say that he understands the situation, he is sure that he understands the situation.
Because he experienced the same thing in his previous life. He felt all the emotions he felt now.
At this moment, he could easily answer his question about why they were deceiving him and why they were creating a fake world around him. But if he said that, he would not explore himself anymore and would only wallow in self-pity.
But now, he has a choice. He can find answers to his own questions and further explore himself. He has to find his own new life.
