Chapter 20: Sky Hall
Outside the hospital, Khal and Liza were walking next to each other in silence, deep in their own thoughts.
After walking like that for a small while, suddenly Liza turned to look at Khal and asked, “Back then… Why did you say that to Carter? I an, why did you lie?”
Glancing back at Liza Khal instead of answering her, he put his hand into his pocket and said, “Look at this.”
Taking out the ring from his pocket which he obtained from the assassin, he gave it to Liza.
Liza seeing the ring looked quite confused, but the mont she recognized the symbol her face instantly turned shocked.
“This is the Ourvi Family’s symbol? But how? Where did you find this?”
“Just what I have thought.”, murmured Khal quietly and after taking back the ring from Liza he started to explain, “Just as I fell unconscious, I have found this ring in the assassin’s pouch, so I took it away.”
“So this ans…”, started to say Liza, but she knew what that exactly ant.
“Yes, it ans that the two who have tried to assassinate us were from the Ourvi family. However, it is not a surprise at all. Just like Nate said before, the Ourvi Family would truly do anything just to get rid of those who won’t obey them. It seems they have sent those assassins because I have ‘hurt’ Alde.”
Liza hearing this looked stupified, but a single second later her expression turned maddened instantly.
“So the ones who killed Mary were…”
“Were them.”, said Khal calmly and looked at the ring in his hand.
“Well, it was quite obvious, so I am not so surprised at all.”, thought Khal calmly and clenched his palm into a fist.
Thinking back on all the things that happened with him in such a short amount of ti, he looked at the bracelet on his wrist and looked terrifyingly calm.
“I don’t know what this thing truly is, but one thing is for sure. I finally have the power to protect whatever I want!”, thought Khal and glanced at Liza’s angry face, which had extre sadness below its surface.
After a small while he averted his gaze and thought calmly, “And I will do exactly that! With this power, I can finally protect anything that I hold dear to ! Even if I need to crawl to the world’s edge without a limb, I won’t let anyone take anything else away from ever again! I promise!”
With that solid thought in mind, Khal continued to walk forward, but suddenly Liza grabbed his hand from the side, making him to stop walking.
“Eh? Did sothing happen?”, asked Khal with a slight raise of his eyebrow as he looked at Liza.
Liza glancing to the side started to murmur sothing quietly, but after a small while, she asked, “Umm… I’m not sure how to ask this… But how did you obtain a Cultivation Talent?”
The mont Khal heard this, his whole body froze up instantly. He forgot the most important thing currently, which was the mont he needed to explain himself to Liza.
Seeing that he was staying silent, Liza started to stare deeper into Khal’s eyes, making him to start sweating instantly.
“I… Umm… To tell the truth, I don’t know either. The only thing I could rember was that one ti I had no Talent, then the next mont I had. I am still confused currently, so if you can give a bit of ti, I will be sure to tell you.”
Hearing what Khal said, Liza squinted her eyes with suspicion, but after a small while, she could just sigh and step back a few ters.
“Well, never mind. The main point here is that you are no longer Cultivation Talentless. Like this, both of us can go and obtain our Cultivator’s Badge and roll into Moon Academy!”
“Huh?”
The mont Khal heard this he looked quite confused. Because of the small amount of ti he spent in this world, the pieces of information he currently knew about things were extrely small.
It could be said it was close to nill.
Yet even like this he just nodded and said, “Yeah, let’s go now and get our Badget.”
“Eh? Now?”, asked Liza with surprise and looked up at the sky.
Seeing that it was still before sunset, she looked at Khal and said, “Well, it seems we still have ti, so I guess why not?”
“Perfect!”, said Khal with a smile, but still let Liza to show the way toward the place where he will be able to obtain that so-called Cultivator’s Badget of his.

Walking for close to 15 minutes in sheer silence, the two kids finally arrived before a huge building.
The establishnt was not far away from the Realm Pillar, which was barely visible because of its blurry appearance.
It was extrely huge, almost 100 ters in height, yet this size was extrely tiny in contrast to the Realm Pillar in the distance.
Khal noticed that the construction was visibly made out of a material that looked like white jade, yet its surface was giving off a feeling that it was made out of well-refined tal.
After examining the outer part for a while, Khal noticed the huge symbol on the top of the building, which was exactly the sa as that was on Carter’s robe back in the hospital.
“The Cultivator’s Organization. We don’t really have ti to waste, so let’s go inside.”, said Liza and after grabbing Khal’s hand she started to walk toward the entrance hurriedly.
However, the mont Khal stepped inside the huge building everything before his eyes changed in one go.
Colorful trees, bushes, and small lakes all around the place could be seen, while above their heads, a beautiful clear night sky was flowing around gently.
While Khal was srized by this sight, suddenly a voice ca from the side.
“Welco to the Cultivator’s Organization! My na is Noelle and I will be your assistant. How can I be a help to the two of you?”
The mont they walked in, a woman in a silverish-white robe walked before them and bowed slightly with a gentle smile on her face.
Liza hearing this bowed too, and said instantly, “We would like to take the test to obtain our Cultivator’s Badge.”
The mont the woman heard this she looked quite surprised. The reason why was because those who have co for a Badge were already here about a week ago, so to co for one right now was quite surprising.
But still, her surprise vanished after a small while, and with the sa gentle smile as before, she answered, “Naturally. Please follow .”
Khal and Liza started to follow Noelle from behind in silence and soon enough, they have arrived before a small door.
Turning around Noelle looked at the two calmly and started to talk.
“On the other side of this door, you will find yourselves in the Sky Hall. In there, the only thing you need to do is to follow the instructions, and you will be able to obtain your Cultivator’s Badge in no ti.”
After Noelle finished talking, she glanced at the two with a gentle smile and asked, “So? Which one of you want to go in first?”
