"You're going up to the cliff edge? And you're leaving here?"
Alice was on the verge of a ltdown!
This is truly your way of doing things, my dear William!
Showing not the slightest bit of gentleness or consideration towards won.
William nodded, saying, "This place is quite nice, very quiet, perfect for you to focus on enhancing your strength..."
Nice? What do you an nice?
How can you call this place good?
There's no bathtub, no coffee, it looks like there's no signal, let alone charging a phone.
Hasn't there been an experint on how long modern people can last without electronic devices?
Alice found herself inexplicably part of this experint.
"I don't want to enhance my strength in a place like this!" Alice pouted and glared at William, protesting vehently!
William's smile didn't diminish as he said, "I didn't discuss it with you. If you can, find your own way up!"
"Ah! I'm going crazy!" Alice cried, clutching her head.
She really was going insane!
She must have been out of her mind to follow William to such an "interesting" place.
William solemnly said, "Making you jump was to train your courage! You knew jumping wouldn't harm you, yet you hesitated. Do you think that's okay?"
"What do you an 'Knowing that jumping wouldn't cause any harm'?" Alice was exasperated by William's theory. Such a high cliff, and he says 'knowing'...
"Are you not fine now?" William chuckled. "Having you enhance your strength here is to train your patience, temper your character. Others seek secluded places to study hard and improve themselves, an experience that often takes decades or even a century. I'm just asking you to stay here for a while, absorbing the residual energy of this place. Is it really that difficult?"
Alice remained dissatisfied, sulking as she asked, "How long exactly is 'a while'? I can't possibly stay in this canyon for five or ten years, can I?"
William pondered for a mont before replying, "That depends on your own ability to comprehend and learn."
Alice frowned, "What does that an?"
"It ans you need to find materials nearby, refine a thousand legendary pills, and learn to fly in the air. Once you achieve that, you can naturally return."
"A thousand legendary pills?!" Alice's face showed a blank expression, "Are you planning to have concoct a huge bag of them as snacks for you?"
Suddenly, William flicked her forehead and said expressionlessly, "If you really can make a big bag, I wouldn't mind trying them. I'm sure I can handle them."
"Don't flick my forehead! If you keep doing this, I might really beco stupid." Alice, rubbing her head in pain, felt tears welling up in her eyes.
She regretted it!
She really did regret it!
From the beginning, she should not have chosen William as her ntor.
If she hadn't chosen William as her ntor, she wouldn't have fallen for this detestable old man.
If only...
"Stop daydreaming! Eat up. If you need any daily necessities, I can bring them down for you. As for other things, don't think too much about it." Seeing Alice's disappointed face, William knew what she was thinking and directly interrupted her thoughts.
Alice quickly accepted the reality and said, counting on her fingers, "Bring down my laptop, there's no internet here, download so good TV shows for , charge it every day…"
Before she could finish counting on her fingers, she noticed William's look that clearly said he wouldn't help her, and her voice faded: "Then co and accompany at night, you know I'm afraid of the dark…"
William smiled reluctantly, making it clear that this was impossible.
"You won't even co to accompany , and you're okay leaving alone in this eerie place?" Alice tried to use typical girlish tactics - whining, acting coquettishly, and even pretending to be in despair, but she quickly realized that these tricks were absolutely useless on William.
After all, he was the man who could push her off a thousand-foot cliff.
"Can you at least bring a cup of coffee every day? I want an iced caral macchiato with whipped cream." Alice paused, then said in a low voice, "I just want to see you, that's all."
William nodded and said, "As for coffee, you can choose a different flavor every day."
He certainly understood the thoughts of a girl.
Alice finally relaxed, taking William's words as an agreent.
She was really afraid that William would refuse even this request.
With the coffee matter settled, Alice's other requests were quite normal.
Just so daily necessities.
After noting them down, William flew up, leaving Alice alone at the bottom of the cliff.
Although they had previously agreed to go to the Soulmancer school together, William felt that since he knew those basic knowledge, he could just take so ti later to teach Alice. There was no need for both of them to attend together.
Since Alice was chosen by the Cosmic Entity, he thought it best to let her develop on her own, which should yield good results.
As for why the Cosmic Entity chose Alice, he didn't mind at all.
As long as the Cosmic Entity was a conscious entity, he was not afraid.
After all, having lived so many years, if the Cosmic Entity was truly powerful enough to kill him, it probably would have done so already.
Playing such a ga now just proves that the Cosmic Entity cannot confront him directly.
Everything that needs to resort to plots or such calculations is because their strength is not strong enough.
Like William, he never plays these fancy tricks.
If he really dislikes sothing, he just directly eliminates it. Why bother with the hassle?
It's only because he currently can't track the Cosmic Entity's presence. If he could, he would definitely capture it for thorough research.
After William left, Luna and Erebus were still standing there in the distance.
"Alice? Why didn't she co up with you?" Luna, who still had a favorable impression of William, asked politely.
William replied, "She won't be coming up for the ti being. For the next while, you two will stay with . Whoever I tell you to attack, you attack. Got it?"
Erebus looked at William with a cold gaze and snorted, "Who do you think you are? If it weren't for Alice's sake, I would have slapped you to death with one hit."
As soon as Erebus uttered those words, he imdiately felt the atmosphere turn odd.
It was as if the word "danger" had materialized above his forehead.
Luna's heart also started thumping uncontrollably.
What exactly was happening?
William slowly extended his hand, placing his palm on Erebus's head, gently stroked it, and said with a pleasant deanor, "Little friend, could you repeat what you just said?"
Erebus's face turned pale.
Logically, he should have dodged William's hand reaching for his head.
But he found himself completely immobilized.
William's palm on his head seed to have seized control of his life.
Luna also looked at William with a face full of terror.
She had always felt a strange familiarity with William, and now she realized what this feeling was all about.
"Father God!"?Luna exclaid subconsciously as she stared at William, observing the energy emanating from him. This sense of familiarity seed to make her sowhat incredulous.
William slowly withdrew his hand, allowing Erebus to heave a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted, but now his gaze towards William had completely changed.
William was not a person who reveled in killing, especially not towards these children. He actually quite liked them, otherwise, he wouldn't have adopted Anthony Carter and others in the past.
This might also be because he had lived for a billion years and had no children of his own.
