The Next Day.
Ethan and Nuwa entered the eastern forest after breakfast. Ethan told Nuwa what happened last night, saying she needed to know so she could stay alert—at least for her own safety.
Their goal in entering the eastern forest was to meet up with Lara and the others. According to the digital map, their distance wasn't too far at the moment.
By Ethan's calculation, they'd meet around noon—if nothing went wrong along the way.
As they walked deeper into the forest, Ethan raised his guard even higher, suspecting that the big guilds had already started to move.
One example was the Destroyer Guild—the same one Ethan had defeated yesterday.
According to him, they counted as a mid-tier guild because they were part of the Black Cliff Alliance.
It wasn't easy for any guild to join an alliance. There were requirements that proved they were worthy of becoming members.
