"To cultivate in the White Tiger Forest? Why are you making such a simple request?"


    Wilbur replied, "I have great admiration for Lord Grote, so I''d like to befriend him."


    "Alright, sure."


    "Thanks, Lord Edmund."


    Upon returning to the Chris family that day, Wilbur went to the Hilton family apanied by Augheimer. Wilbur and Augheimer found themselves before Grote as soon as orders from Lord Edmund arrived.


    Grote asked in a slightly shocked tone, "Why did you do this, Mister Penn? If you would like to cultivate in the White Tiger Forest, I can give orders to build you a residence in the forest. Why did you have to inform the ruler?"


    Wilbur took out two storage rings and passed them to Grote. He said, "Mister Grote, I''ll return the storage rings to you since you mentioned. It was Senior Horne and my fault that you were robbed thest time. We shouldn''t have raided the Hilton family. In here are one hundred and ten thousand gold coins. I will give them back to you."


    "Huh? Is this because of that? Actually, I kind of forgot about that some time ago."


    Wilbur sped his hands together and said, "Please, Lord Grote, at least let me cultivate in the White Tiger Forest for two years, so I can give a good ount to the City Lord."


    "Alright. I''ll order my men to build a residence in the White Tiger Forest right away."


    "No, you don''t have to, Lord Grote. Augheimer and I can build a cabin ourselves. You don''t need to worry about us," said Wilbur.


    Wilbur and Augheimer went towards the White Tiger Forest to cultivate after a brief conversation with Grote. Grote looked at the storage rings in his hand. He knew deep down that Wilbur and Augheimer did note to return the gold coins to him, they came for the secret of the Four Divine Beasts instead.


    However, Grote went through a lot, so he decided to let it be. The four major families guarded the secret of the Four Divine Beasts for ten thousand years, but no one discovered a clue. It would be fateful for Wilbur if he could find the key to solve the mystery.


    Compared to Wilbur, Grote was more concerned about Babbit, the head of the Reyne family. Babbit did not appear ever since his seclusion, and he was also absent during the battle with Hadirt.


    Babbit would never do that, so Grote wondered if Babbit was in some kind of trouble.


    Wilbur cut down severalrge trees in the White Tiger Forest and quickly turned the trunks into wooden nks. Augheimer helped him, and they built a small wooden cabin within only half a day.


    Augheimer asked puzzlingly, "Wilbur, since we can cultivate in the Vermillion Bird Mountains, why do we have toe to the White Tiger Forest where the energy intensity is identical? There''s no difference. I''m afraid what we''re doing will cause suspicion from Lord Grote."


    "If he''s suspicious of us, so be it, but I don''t think he''ll mind it. As for why I brought you here to cultivate, have you heard of the secret of the Four Divine Beasts?" asked Wilbur.


    Wilbur mentioned the secret of the Four Divine Beasts. Augheimer frowned and said, "The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and the ck Tortoise. Does this mean you want to collect the energy of the Four Divine Beasts to see what will happen?"


    Wilbur replied, "That''s right. Oh yeah, Augheimer, don''t you think it''s a coincidence we have the Four Divine Beasts in Earth''s dimension too? I can''t believe the middle dimension has it too. Do you think there''s a connection between them?"


    Augheimer asked puzzlingly, "Really? Is there an Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and ck Tortoise in Earth''s dimension?"
