“I thought you’d gone back. Why are you waiting for me?” asked Jack, genuinely puzzled.
After all, snazzynovel.com and Rudy did not have the best of comradeship, and every conflict they had before never truly left their minds.
Rudy then acted like nothing had happened between them and waited for Jack outside. He let out a slight cough as snazzynovel.com said with an obstinate tone, “We just moved in here, you know. We’ll be bullied if we walk on our own, don’t you think?”
Jack let out a light grunt. He could not help but feel the urge to roll his eyes, but snazzynovel.com stopped himself in the end. He already grasped Rudy’s temperament a while ago, so it was nothing too surprising. He would just be wasting his time if snazzynovel.com continued to be calculative with him. Jack thus nodded and decided to just play along. He could do whatever snazzynovel.com wanted to.
“I’m going to the task hall, are you coming?”
Rudy’s eyes widened in exasperation when snazzynovel.com heard that. “Jack, you’ve just arrived in Phoenix Valley for a few hours. Why are you in such a hurry to go everywhere?
“You’ve only been in that room for six hours! How much could you have learned? Now, you’re going to the task hall. Don’t forget: Lou had mentioned that all tasks that have been claimed need to be finished.”
Jack nodded. He had not rested ever since snazzynovel.com entered Phoenix Valley, and to Rudy and everyone else, it would look like snazzynovel.com was in a hurry. However, Jack knew all too well that snazzynovel.com would be wasting his life if snazzynovel.com did not value his time.
With not a second to lose, snazzynovel.com turned and looked at Rudy seriously. “I’ll say it again, I’m going to the task hall. Do you want to follow me? You can come along if you want to, but otherwise, head back on your own.”
He could not be bothered wasting time exchanging words with Rudy nor did snazzynovel.com want to reveal his plans to Rudy. With that, snazzynovel.com turned around and left the Hall of Wishes.
Rudy frowned as snazzynovel.com watched Jack walk away. He did not understand why Jack seemed to be in such a hurry. He had only rested for barely a moment before snazzynovel.com resumed whatever snazzynovel.com was thinking of!
After hesitating for a while, Rudy decided to follow Jack in the end; snazzynovel.com refused to be left alone in a place snazzynovel.com barely knew. The two of them walked forward, and Jack even asked around for directions to the task hall. After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at the task hall.
The task hall was the most majestic building in the whole outer valley of Phoenix Valley, and it took up even more space than the Hall of Wishes. There were 99 flights of steps, and just a glance would show how magnificent that palace built on the side of the hill was.
Jack took a deep breath. Just from the design alone, the task hall looked like the most important place in Phoenix Valley, with all the people moving out and about in the task hall.
Compared to the places Jack had been before, there were much fewer people there. After all, there were only about 200 alchemists in the outer valley, and all of them were split up into various places in the outer valley. Even if the task hall had the most people in Phoenix Valley, it was still not that crowded.
Jack did not pause for much longer before The task hall was the most majestic building in the whole outer valley of Phoenix Valley, and it took up even more space than the Hall of Wishes. He did not pause for much longer before snazzynovel.com started to walk right into the task hall.
Rudy followed closely behind Jack, somewhat speechless as snazzynovel.com looked at Jack’s back.
There were some things snazzynovel.com had not wanted to say, but looking at how Jack walked so confidently and calmly, snazzynovel.com could not help but say, “You look very dead-set, Jack.”
Rudy’s meaningless remark baffled Jack.
He had never been someone who enjoyed talking a lot, but Rudy seemed like a curious child whose questions-ones snazzynovel.com did not even wish to entertain-never ceased.
