The Villain’s Redemption - Chapter 367: Summoning

Chapter 367: Summoning

“Huh?” Anna frowned when she heard the system’s warning just before she could walk inside the room.

[Detected, unknown symbols. Analyze symbols now?]

‘Analyze’

[Analysis started. Advising host to avoid movement while analysis is ongoing.]

She looked at the walls but didn’t see anything. Where exactly is the symbol?

After a few seconds, the system finally said,

[Analysis done]

[Symbols ninety-nine percent didn’t exist in this world]

[Result: Summoning portal]

A what?

Again, she looked around. What the hell does that mean?

‘Robot, If I am right, the symbols didn’t exist before I left the building, right?’

[Right.]

‘So, someone just created them when she left? But why here?’

‘Is there a way to break it?’

[Negative]

[But we can alter it.]

A portal is just like a bridge that connected two different locations. ‘So, you can change the location?’

[Affirmative]

‘Then do it!’

[Altering portal location for one hundred and fifty coins. Accept?]

‘Accept!’

For a moment, she had forgotten that this system loves money.

After a few seconds, she heard a loud ding.

[Altered portal; Successful. Portal connected to the portal by the forest.]

‘That’s good. But where is this portal, anyway? I couldn’t see any symbols.’

[Under your bed, inside the room.]

She nodded. ‘I understand. Can I move now?’

[Affirmative.]

‘Good.’

She walked inside her room and found some books that she had borrowed from the library inside this building. Since she was alone, she thought she would explore some rooms inside this castle-like place. She discovered that all the rooms were abandoned and dusty. They didn’t even bother to clean the other rooms when they decided to put her here.

They just cleaned her room and moved on with her lives.

This place also had a functional kitchen, a library inside an office, and about ten more other rooms.

There were no maids or servants or any supplies.

If she wanted to eat, she needed to go to the canteen, which was about two hundred meters from the building. It wasn’t really far. However, all the other buildings have their own kitchen and cooks, except for this one. So, she couldn’t help but feel a little irritated.

Lily also discovered that this body is practically a glutton.

It wasn’t really that she loved to eat, it’s just that her body needed a lot of calories! It was probably because she was a strong Lycan? Anyway, the food from the canteen isn’t really enough to make her full.

So, she had promised herself to hunt some animals from now on.

After walking around the house, she went to the back of the building and couldn’t help but appreciate its abandoned garden. She wasn’t someone who loves planting, but the vegetables and some fruits at the back of the building were abundant. It seems that each building has its own garden where they grew their own produce, too.

However, since no one had been occupying this building, no one could take care of the garden too.

She shrugged and just went inside for now.

She wasn’t really worried about food since she had a lot of ways to get one.

After all, her own father had trained this child to survive in the forest.

That’s right. Since Anna turned ten, her father had been letting her run around the forest, sometimes leaving her alone on her own. That might sound like child abuse, but it was actually considered normal in the Shadow Pack.

To them, only the strongest survive.

If one couldn’t even protect themselves, then how will one protect others?

After a few minutes, she arrived inside the room and started reading the books from earlier. Most of the books were dusty, their pages had turned yellow, and some pages felt like they were about to break at any given moment.

However, the contents of the books were really interesting.

These were books about the church.

Right now, the church is struggling to gain its influence. They no longer have any saintess and have long since stopped naming one. It should be because of Rhea.

The thought made her smile.

Yep.

She was that Rhea.

While the church is struggling to survive, other humans are slowly gaining power. And that is the elementals.

Four families inherited four distinct elements.

Fire.

Water.

Air.

Earth.

The four elemental families are akin to pillars of humankind.

They send their well-trained clan members to the gates to fight against the dark ones and have actually gained some reputation because of their ability.

One thing that caught her attention was the La Roche Family.

They are fire elementals.

She recalled that Mo Li could use black fire too. She wondered if they were related?

Until now, Mo Li’s identity was a little blurry. She wasn’t really sure if Mo Li was a human or something else entirely. After all, he could also use other elements like ice.

Does that type of people exist?

She continued reading and found nothing about anyone that could use other elements.

But isn’t this good?

The people inside Zealandia are getting stronger and stronger. It means they would survive a war against the dark ones and demons.

A war?

Is that even possible?

Right now, demons and dark ones are at the gates. They have no chance of crossing over…

Her thoughts were interrupted by another warning from the system.

[Unknown summoning detected two miles away.]

[Unknown summoning detected two miles away.]

[Unknown summoning detected two miles away.]

[Unknown summoning detected two miles away.]

The system only does this type of warning if something dangerous is around!

She immediately got up and looked out the window.

She didn’t even realize that it was already dark. Time runs out too fast if one was occupied.

‘Huh?’

‘What is that?’

Her face turned ugly when she noticed the screams and… fire?

Anna bit her lower lip. Should she go there and check?

If she recalled correctly, that side was the place where her classmates were living. It was like a dormitory for the other students.

Devon and the others lived in that direction.

Should she check? Or… not?

In the end, she decided to jump out of the window.

She is going to gather more information.
