Chapter 162 - Yesnok Land

Fifteen days later.

"I've finally arrived." After a fifteen-day journey to Solomon's suggested place for training, Asil spoke to himself with a satisfied expression. Although the place he went to was quite far from the Rezuba Battle School and also outside the borders of Bayanburt City, he was still within the territory owned by the Rezuba Battle School. In fact, one of the reasons why the area where the Rezuba Battle School is located was considered one of the three most dangerous areas of the Crimson Lightning Empire was because of Yesnok Land, the area where Asil is now!

Yesnok Land was one of the regions within the Crimson Lightning Empire that had an undoubted reputation for danger and ferocity. Seven hundred kilometers long and five hundred and fifty kilometers wide, there were countless profound beasts in this area, and most of these profound beasts were ferocious. Along with its fame, the dense population of profound beasts was attracting large numbers of profound practitioners and treasure hunters. It was also a fact that more than fifty thousand people died in this region every year. Despite this, people were still coming to this dangerous area.

The bright sun hung in the clear sky. It covered the Yesnok Land with a majestic atmosphere. One could hear the roars of profound beasts one after another in the distance. If a normal person was here, maybe he would have come back out of fear. But there was not the slightest sign of fear on Asil's face. He was simply looking ahead and resolutely examining what was in sight.

Thanks to the information Solomon gave, Asil had learned some things about this region. Thanks to this, he knew that he should first go to one of the nearby residential areas and find out information that might be useful to him, and find a caravan that would make it easy for him on his way to the area described by Solomon.

But even after all this journey, there was still a point that he could not understand. Normally, as you went to the center in such areas, the experience gained and the value of the treasures that could be obtained would increase. Of course, the proportion of dangers that could be faced in the same way would also increase. But Solomon told Asil that it was unnecessary for him to move inland in Yesnok Land, for the time being, instead, he had to go to the area he had specified and find strong partners to make it happen. If the area Solomon was talking about was close to the inner region of Yesnok Land, Asil would not think much about it and would start looking for powerful partners to travel with him without any doubt as he was sure it would be a dangerous journey. But at the moment there was a doubt in him for two reasons.

The first of these was that the area Solomon was talking about was located in the outer-middle part of Yesnok Realm, and was normally a region where most profound beasts from the last levels of the Nascent Profound Realm roamed. Against a region with such power level and difficulty, Asil alone could be enough. It was highly unlikely that he would be in any major trouble unless he at least faced the profound beasts of the last levels of the Nascent Profound Realm at the same time. That's why when Solomon specifically told him to take strong people with him, it raised questions in his mind.

The second reason was that the Smoky Creature, who had been testing his Ego Test readiness fifteen days ago, had told him not to trust a member of the Lemegeton Clan too much. Asil did not know what the Lemegeton Clan meant or who they were. But since Solomon's last name was Lemegeton, he had doubts.

However, despite these two different reasons, he still came here and, as Solomon said, reached the city located in and around the outer border of Yesnok Land in order to find strong partners.

Each of the numerous inns in the city was filled by profound practitioners from all over the world. Yesnok Land was only a few kilometers from the city, and almost all of the people staying at the inn were people who wanted to challenge Yesnok Land.

Asil entered the city, found the inn Solomon recommended by asking the people on the road, and slowly entered the inn, which looked older than the other inns.

When he entered, the innkeeper widened his eyes for a moment and looked towards him. When he saw that the person entering was a teenager, indifference covered his gaze and he closed his eyes slightly. Asil came before him without caring about it and spoke calmly: "I need a few reliable and strong partners to go to the west side of the outer-central part of Yesnok. They said you could help me with this."

After Asil's words, the innkeeper opened his eyes again. He examined him carefully, and after a few seconds of seeing the Green Spatial Ring on his hand, he replied: "Almost all those who come to this city become adventurers who want to enter the Yesnok Land. Some of them are here for training, some for the purpose of finding treasure, and some for making money. But regardless of the goals, the benefits gained naturally increase as they move the inner regions. That's why the people who come mostly want to move towards the inner regions. Judging by the Spatial Ring on your finger, you have a wealthy family or have had some lucky encounters. I don't think money is the reason someone like that is here. All that's left is the possibility that you came here just for training or to find treasure.. In this case, too, it would be more appropriate for you to proceed to the inner part of Yesnok Land. However, why do you want to go to the vacant area on the west side of the outer-middle section of Yesnok Land and not only that but also have a few reliable and strong partners with you?"
