"No problem…"
Connor nodded without thinking.
Henrik didn't expect Connor to agree so quickly. After hesitating for a while, he asked Connor, "Then, when do you plan to leave?"
"We'll set off tonight!"
Connor didn't want to waste any more ti.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Henrik's face was filled with shock.
"I need this Soul Returning Fruit to save soone, so I don't want to waste ti!"
Connor explained.
"..."
Henrik looked at Connor and hesitated for a couple of seconds, then whispered, "Alright then. Anyway, I'm basically selling my life to you now. You can leave whenever you want!"
Seeing that Henrik had agreed, Connor turned to Jeffrey and asked him softly, "Do you want to go with ?"
Connor invited Jeffrey over because he was quite familiar with all the places. If he had such a person by his side, it could save a lot of trouble.
"Mr. McDonald, as long as you give money, of course I'll be willing to go with you…"
Jeffrey replied with a smile.
"Alright, after this is done, I will definitely give you money!"
Connor imdiately agreed, then looked at Thomas and said, "Mr. Morgan, I'll have to trouble you with Freya during this period of ti. You must help protect Freya. No one is allowed to approach her ward..."
"Mr. McDonald, don't worry!"
Thomas nodded and replied.
Connor looked at Josiah Murphy and said softly, "Mr. Murphy, I'll go look for the Soul Returning Fruit. You can prepare the other herbs for the Soul Returning Pill first. When I co back with the Soul Returning Fruit, we can start refining!"
"Mr. McDonald, I heard that the Crimson Peak is very dangerous. You must be careful!"
Josiah hurriedly said to Connor.
"Don't worry. Unless it's an ancient martial arts grandmaster, no one can hurt !"
Connor replied indifferently.
Josiah nodded slowly when he heard Connor's words.
After settling everything, Connor didn't waste any more ti. He asked Thomas to book a plane ticket and was ready to fly to Brette that night.
...
It was past nine in the evening.
Connor went to the hospital to visit Freya Phillips, then brought Henrik, Jeffrey, and the others to Porthampton Airport.
"Mr. McDonald, I've already arranged your schedule. Let's take a plane to Brette first, then take a bus to the nearest city, Comtar. After we reach Comtar, we'll rest for a while before going to Crimson Peak."
After arriving at the airport, Jeffrey told Connor.
"Let's do as you say…"
Connor lightly nodded.
After all, he did not know much about Brette, so he could only follow Jeffrey's arrangents.
Half an hour later, Connor and the others boarded the plane.
After boarding the plane, Connor rested with his eyes closed because he knew that there would be a lot of things waiting for him to do. Moreover, if Connor really wanted to find the Soul Returning Fruit, it would not be so easy.
The next day, at three in the afternoon.
The plane slowly landed, and Connor and the others finally arrived at Brette.
After getting off the plane, Jeffrey's car was already waiting outside the airport.
Therefore, Connor and the others got into the car and drove toward Comtar, the northernmost city in Brette.
Comtar was located in the northernmost part of Oprana. It had a small population, but its people were tough. Moreover, the temperature in Comtar was below zero all year round. This caused the physical fitness of the residents of Comtar to be much higher than that of people in other places. Their ability to withstand cold was also extraordinary.
At 10 pm, Connor and the others finally arrived at Comtar.
Connor felt the bone-piercing cold as soon as he got off the car. However, he was a black rank now, so he could use his aura to keep out the cold.
Jeffrey and Henrik were both ordinary people, so they had to wear thick down jackets. Even so, they were still shivering from the cold.
Connor observed the pedestrians on the street. He realized that the people of Comtar were not wearing thick clothes, but these people did not seem to feel particularly cold.
"What's your plan?"
Connor turned to look at Jeffrey and asked him softly.
"Mr. McDonald, I plan to go to a hotel in Comtar to rest for the night. After all, we've already taken such a long flight…"
Jeffrey replied while panting and trembling.
"Alright…"
Connor lightly nodded.
Although Connor didn't feel tired at the mont, Henrik and Jeffrey were both ordinary people. They couldn't withstand such a long journey, so Connor felt that it was better to let them rest.
When Jeffrey saw that Connor had agreed, he hurriedly got soone to drive the car to the hotel.
After entering the hotel, Connor, Jeffrey, and Henrik first ate sothing in the hotel's restaurant. Then, they returned to their rooms to rest for the night and continue their journey the next morning.
After Connor returned to his room, he lay on the bed and rested.
However, before Connor could fall asleep, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Connor frowned and asked.
"Mr. McDonald, it's !"
Jeffrey's voice sounded.
Connor hesitated for a mont before walking to the door and opening it. Then, he looked at Jeffrey and asked, "It's late. Do you need sothing?"
"Mr. McDonald, I suddenly recalled sothing that I want to discuss with you…"
Jeffrey looked at Connor and said.
"What is it?"
Connor frowned and asked.
"Mr. McDonald, we're still a few hundred kiloters away from Crimson Peak. If we drive tomorrow, we should be able to reach the vicinity of Crimson Peak. However, Crimson Peak is covered in snow, and there are no buildings there. Moreover, we might need a long ti to find the Soul Returning Fruit after entering Crimson Peak. I wanted to discuss with you whether we should hire a local team from Comtar..."
Jeffrey said with a smile.
"Hire a team from Comtar?"
When Connor heard Jeffrey's words, he could not help but be stunned for a mont, looking sowhat puzzled.
"That's right. If we hire a local exploration team from Comtar, they can drive in front to scout the way for us. After all, they are all locals and know the situation here very well. Moreover, these people can also carry so supplies in their cars. This way, we don't have to worry about the lack of supplies after entering Crimson Peak…"
Jeffrey said with a smile.
