The old man got to his feet, tossing the ring back into the water as Miller


    shrugged, saying, "What a shame. But there''s also good in keeping a memory deep in your heart."


    Wilbur was about to leave as he had told the old man, who walked Wilbur all the way out of the forest with Miller. Wilbur waved goodbye, saying, "Sir, Commander Miller, goodbye."


    "I hope to see you again, but I hope you won''t call me Commander Miller then," said Miller.


    "Alright. You don''t belong here, and it''s time you returned to your world," said the old man.


    Wilbur turned and headed into the forest. He did not run into the cultivator before this time, and it only took him an hour to get out. He was surprised by this and clenched his right fist. "I guess I really did get stronger."


    Before he left, Wilbur took onest look at the forest. Despite not knowing what the mysterious energy surrounding Gelsa was, he was grateful for the growth this trip had brought him.


    It was seven in the evening by the time Wilbur returned to Mantu, the capital of Siward. He took a shower in his hotel room and sat down on the couch before calling Perry, the head of the ck Panthers.


    "Hello? Who is this?"


    "Perry, it''s me, Wilbur."


    "Oh, are you back from Gelsa."


    "Yes, but I''m still in Mantu."


    "It looks like you passed the tests to retrieve the eighth dragon cauldron."


    "Indeed. Can you tell me where the ninth dragon cauldron is now? I found eight of them, and I''m just missing thest one. I''ll be able to see Senior Fremont once I''ve collected all nine cauldrons."


    There was a pause in the call, before Perry said, "The ninth dragon cauldron isn''t going to be as easy to find. I hope you''re prepared."


    "What?"


    Wilbur was confused. "How hard is it? Can you just tell me where it is? If it''s really tough, I can go look for it myself."


    Wilbur had managed to find eight of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons and was just missing thest one toplete all nine. Then, he would be able to meet Senior Fremont and find out the secret of the dragon n.


    Wilbur was practically drooling at the mouth for that secret now. If he found out about it, he might just be able to learn the upper dimensionalws. Despite being able to convert the power of light and the power of destruction through the Light Gloves, Wilbur had only just understood the meaning of these two middle dimension powers.


    Despite this, Wilbur stillcked confidence in battling against the Dark Messenger. If he could not even do that much, defeating the Dark Lord was out of the question.


    The Dark Messenger had killed many chosen ones, and Wilbur would hardly be able to escape being in by him if Wilbur was his next target. On top of that, Wilbur loved this world, even if it was considered a lower dimension.
