My Space-Time System

Chapter 628  Crazy question (part 2)

The southern continent was the only black zone on the map, and it was a place where people stronger than them had visited but failed, and now Blake was asking them to go there with him.

"For what? Also, why us?!" Camilla couldn't help but ask the question that was on their minds.

"With all of the human race being united, the next step for us is to escape this prison." Blake said further confusing the three of them.

"Let me start from the beginning…" Blake went on to explain the story of the human race right from when Valerius had become All-father to the current day.

After spending more than an hour telling the story, Blake finally returned to the point of the meeting.

"The gateway to Infinite realm is at the southern continent and the key to opening it is with the space and darkness element I have." Blake explained.

"As for why I am requesting your help. It is because high-level beings can't enter there and I need a team I can trust because I can't do it alone." Blake told them exactly what Cassius had explained.

"Is it me or the other races don't want the human race to be set free at all cost." Brian couldn't help but voice his thoughts.

"That was exactly what I thought when I first heard it, but it is exactly what it is." Blake let out a helpless sigh when he thought about it.

It was a human that had almost doomed the entire realm, and even though it was also a human that saved them, the Neons were not completely defeated. So that was the perfect opportunity to get rid of all of the humans and make them weaker than the other races.

A short awkward silence quickly filled the living room as everyone seemed to be deep in their thoughts, but Brian was the one who broke the silence.

"After careful consideration, all I have to say is sign me up!" Brian said with excitement lighting up his eyes, and causing everyone in the room to turn to him."

'Careful consideration?! Are you sure you know the meaning of careful and consideration?' That was exactly the look that Carmilla and Tessie shot at him, causing Blake to laugh out loud.

Even if the location they were heading to were inside the Malock desert it would be a difficult decision to make, but Brian was here talking as if they were going on a stroll to the city park instead of the most dangerous place known to man.

"I think we need some time to think about it." Camilla said as she turned to Tessie who nodded in agreement.

"Take your time, there is no need to rush." Blake didn't want to pressure them into doing something this important.

Once again, an awkward silence came upon the room, but Blake quickly noticed from their body language that they had something to say but couldn't get themselves to spit out the words.

Tessie's indecisiveness was the most visible, while Carmilla sat like a statue without showing any emotions but that was exactly the problem. Blake had always known her as the most expressive.

"I know your feelings are complicated, especially since your home was just conquered, but you should know I am only doing all this for the benefit of the entire human race."

After a while, Camilla and Tessie stood up to take their leave, and Blake followed to see them off. The trio walked in silence all the way to the yard's gate where they stopped and faced each other.

Both parties didn't know what to say to each other, but after what seemed like forever, Tessie finally spoke up.

"I missed you." Tessie said as she lunged at Blake and gave him a big hug, and soon after Camilla followed suit and joined in the hug.

"I missed you girls too." Blake said as he embraced them. However, he refrained from kissing them on their foreheads since he was unsure if they had hugged him because he was a friend gone missing or a boyfriend.

After a while, they finally let go of themselves and the girls entered into their family carriages that had been waiting for them and left.

'That ended better than I expected…' Blake said to himself as he watched the carriages leave his range of view before walking back into the house.

"What have you been up to lately? I mean apart from the war." Blake asked Brian as he made his way back into the house.

"Come to think of it, it's crazy that some weeks ago I was going on missions." Brian was astonished when he realized how short the war lasted… Was that even considered a war?

"Anyways, I haven't been up to anything apart from missions with the adventurer association. I mean, what else was there to do when everyone was busy with their different lives? To make matters worse, the person I trusted the most left me out of nowhere." Brian shook his head.

"Sorry." Blake could feel the loneliness in Brian's tone.

"No need to be sorry for me, I actually felt less betrayed when I discovered that he was being controlled by Synder. I just kind of feel sad that he died without understanding what was going on." Brian let out a helpless sigh as he took out a bottle filled with dark blue alcohol.

"Don't tell me you have been drinking." Blake asked with a raised brow.

"Maybe…" Brian shrugged with a sheepish smile causing both of them to chuckle out loud.

"Pour me a round!" Blake said as 2 glass cups floated from the kitchen into the living room.

"That's the spirit!" Brian laughed out loud as he grabbed the bottle of alcohol filled both cups.

After taking a few sips of the dark-blue alcohol that had a strong burning sensation as it slid down the throat, Brian spoke up.

"How about you? What have you been up to, especially during the war?" Brian asked.
