nAfter the deal with Jamin is facilitated, Sam went to another academy to collect a different quest. As part of his twelve labors and this time also the academy followed the previous trick
nThey decided to just give him some long lasting quest instead of trying to kill him.
nOf course, Sam found a way to do it faster and easier, with all the man power and resources he had.
nWhile Sam went away, the payment day for the Hub has come.
nMany people did their best to make the payment and most of them did. But there is a significant number that couldn't.
nAfter midnight which directly indicated the end of that deadline.
nIn a far away planet from the Academy realm. Within an isolated city that is full of light energy that gave off holy vibes.
nThere is a city that is fully made of gold and white colored materials. Ordinary gold and even some high level gold is nothing more than decoration to most of the cultivators and these people did exactly that.
nThe whole city is decorated with gold. The pillars, gates, walls, doors, all of them are decorated with gold. Some are even made of these golden metals. The city is small, but grand and exquisite.
nEven though it is midnight there, the golden light coming off of those golden ornamnents lit up the whole city. In the middle of the city laid a massive building. It looked like a castle that only the greatest of the kings could live.
nHowever, right now even people with mortal plane cultivation and looked like beggars are walking in and out of those gates.
nThe gates are wide open, for anyone to enter as they wish.
nAnd there are two gatekeepers. It would be more accurate to say that they are the people who were placed there to welcome everyone.
nThey are wearing long robes embroidered with various forms of golden patterns. They are greeting everyone with their smile. And if not for that sense of peace oozing out of their pale faces, they looked rather creepy.
nA young man walked in through the gate. Unlike most people who are walking through that gate, this guy looked rather strong. He wore a battle armor and walked in nervously.
nAfter talking to the gatekeeper a bit, he was guided to a special place within the palace.
nSoon, an old man wearing a robe that is much more luxurious than before has come and sat in front of him,
n
"I heard that you came here to change your faith. Are you sure you want to do this?
"
nThe old man asked. His smile is also peaceful and made the young man feel a lot less nervous
n
"Yes, Sir.
" The young nodded like a pecking hen.
n
"You do know that once you transfer your faith to the almighty god, you cannot go back to your faith.
nYou need to surrender your soul and mind. And from now on, you need to act solely according to our beliefs and practices.
"
n
"Yes, Sir. I understand.
"
n
"So, before we proceed, I need you to explain what prompted you to change your faith.
"
n
"A soul Contract. I.. *ARGH*
"
nAfter all, how could a condition be so beneficial to him? He came here believing that he will lose his status as a student of Zeus Academy. After all, he did gain some information about this specific faith that he came for help.
nIt is a relatively new faith and has only been around for a few decades.
nThe influence it has is very concentrated and it didn't spread very far.
nIn fact, apart from the planet he is currently on, there is only around four more planets where this faith is prevalent.
nHowever, everyone in that space is a devout believer.
nEvery follower of the faith is rid of all kinds of injuries and sicknesses.
nTheir souls were freed and their cultivation improved by a lot.
nThis is the specialty of this faith. Improvement and united front. It is not very popular and even this young man found out by chance because of a mission he took to investigate this. After some investigation he realized that this faith is not exactly obsessed with power and spreading their influence.
nHe reported it back to the academy and everyone forgot about it, except for the young man of course.
nHe has been a follower of Zeus for as long as he could remember, but whenever a problem came to him or other followers, Zeus rarely responded. In fact, most of the faith towards the Olympian gods is due fear instead of devotion.
nSo, a faith that is so generous made his curious, which made him dig deeper.
nThat is why he believed that he could rid of the soul contract if he came here.
nHe was expecting to pay a high price and if he was asked such a price, he wouldn't have doubted the other party.
nBut now…
nSensing the hesitation in the young man's face, the old man understood.
n
"Don't worry. We are actually planning to enter the Academy realm and establish our academy. From the looks of it, you are just a freshman there. In the next few years, stay there and help us understand how an academy and its system of operations work.
nI am sure it is not exactly a difficult or a confidential thing. We would like to take inspiriations from other academies and build a system of our own.
"
nThen only the young man sighed a bit. This is indeed not a particularly outrageous request, but it is not easy either.
nHe has to be constantly vigilant to make sure that his change of faith is not revealed if he went back. And if that was revealed and he is also going to be scouting their practices… it is indeed a bit risky. Ironically, that brough relief to him.
nHe immediately agreed.
nBoth of them shook hands.
n
"Welcome to the Faith of Agmon.
nMay I know your name?
"
nThe old man asked.
n
"I am Alton.
" The young man replied. He paused for a moment and asked.
n
"May I know, how I should address you?
"
n
"You can called Broman.
"
