Zeke said, “Get up. Your place isn't safe. If others find out my identity as the Great Marshal, you won't be able to bear the consequences.”

It was only then Johan realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly got up. “Great Marshal, please forgive me. I was too worked up.”

Zeke replied, “All right. Do you know the geographical location of Theos Island?”

Johan shook his head in response. “I'm sorry, Great Marshal. I've been investigating it for several years, but I still can't find out where it is. Theos Island is... Ah, I'm afraid it's not in the same space or dimension as the world we came from. Otherwise, there's no way I shouldn't be able to determine its geographical location.”

“But you just said that you have a way to send hundreds of people from the outer district out. Do you mind explaining that?” Zeke inquired.

“Although I don't know where this place is, I know that there's a space passage that leads directly to Eurasia, and a talisman of space is the key to the passage. Over the years, I've accumulated countless drops of spiritual water to nourish a talisman of space. Now, this talisman of space has become extremely powerful, so it's theoretically possible for it to transport hundreds of people at the same time.”

Zeke fell into deep thought. “Then do you have a way to transport large quantities of people from the outside in?”


Johan shook his head. “This can't be done for the time being because there are two types of talisman of space. One sends people from Theos Island to the outside while the other sends people from the outside to Eurasia, and the talisman of space I've nurtured for decades is the former type. It can only transport people to the outside, but it can't bring people from the outside here to Theos Island.”

“If I now ask you to nourish a talisman of space that sends people from the outside to here, can you do it?” Zeke asked.

Johan replied, “Yes, it's possible, but it will take several years! No matter how much spiritual water I have, it's useless; it takes time to nourish talismans of space.”

Zeke shook his head in disappointment. It seems like this way can't work. I can't wait for several years.

He then asked Johan, “Have you ever seen the so-called 'Theos'? Is there a way for me to find him?”

Johan shook his head. “No. Ever since I came to Theos Island, Theos has never shown himself. On the entire island, only two people have ever seen Theos. They are the Camp Masters from the north and south. There's a ritual held every five years, and the two Camp Masters can communicate with Theos in person then.”

“Great Marshal, if you wish to meet Theos, it's not impossible,” Johan added meaningfully.

“Oh? Elaborate.”

“The first option is to create chaos. By stirring immense trouble on Theos Island, you can interrupt the ritual offering of spiritual objects to Theos. With that, he will appear. Or you can compete for the position of Camp Master. Coincidentally, the ritual is next month. If you become a Camp Master, you can talk face-to-face with Theos.”

Zeke responded, “We can't go with the first option.”
