The Dawn of the New World Chapter 1545

"And maybe once I'm done with everything I might even consider it. This place is...beautiful..."

Hao Xuan's compliment was quite sincere. Not only was this mini world completely in harmony with itself but it was also significantly bigger than the city it was anchored in. Even in the Greater World, something of this caliber would be hard to come by.

It would be at the level of an Ancestral Treasure passed down through each generation.

"How big is it?" Hao Xuan couldn't help but question. They had been walking for several minutes and it was all just trees and fields still.

"A little over 560 Li," Waclaw casually replied.

"Woah!, impressive!" Hao Xuan exclaimed with a newfound appreciation.

'Li? They have a measurement system from Earth here? Actually, it should be the other way around but the point remains, that's huge no matter how you look at it. More than 280 kilometers from one corner to the other, whereas the city itself barely covers a fraction of that. Whoever created this space must have been a genius with an extremely high comprehension of space and time laws!'

"That is nothing short of a miracle. I would have never expected to come across something of this caliber down here," Hao Xuan commented in complete wonderment.

And somehow Waclaw's chest puffed out after hearing that, as if it had anything to do with him.

"It truly is, we have been blessed," he continued to give more details, "Some patrons can even rent out the properties on the edges and live like kings during their stay here."

'That must be one of the places where Ogostin is staying. I wonder how he is doing.' (CH 1443)

"Properties? Of what kind?"

"Small castles and estates where patrons can stay with their personal guards. But most of them are on the southern side. We are on the northern end here."

"Hmmm."

'Wait, then whose property are we heading to if all the patrons reside on the other end of this mini-world?'

Right as Hao Xuan came up with the question they turned to the left and came out to a grassland. It was a little over 500 meters wide and right behind that was a massive castle covering most of the line of sight.

To its left and right were two bands of farmland going all the way around the main castle.

"Who lives here?"

Waclaw's gaze flickered for a moment, "The ruler of this world is meant to live here but it has been...'acquired' by the song clan for the last few decades ever since-" he caught himself before letting any more information slip to quickly compose himself.

"It does not matter. You can take the path on the right and it will take you where you need to go. Once you deliver the letter keep following the path until you see the last teleportation array. Tell them I brought you up here and where you need to go."

'Aha, so the person doesn't actually live within the castle. They must be an old loyal servant to be given a residence right next to their masters. But-'

Waclaw immediately turned on his heels barely giving Hao Xuan time to grab his shoulder, "Wait!"

"Yes...?" he looked back with a questioning gaze.

"This...doesn't feel right," Hao Xuan tried to give him the envelope, "I'm supposed to deliver this letter to some poor woman right? Letting her know that her husband is too busy whoring around to come home? From the reaction of your comrades earlier it doesn't look like it's the first time either. Wouldn't it be better coming from someone of authority like you? I'm a nobody."

Waclaw nodded in agreement but pushed his hand back.

"That's precisely why it must be you. Can you imagine how mortifying it must be for a newlywed to get these letters every few days from her partner? When I run into her later, how will she ever look me in the eye knowing that I know everything? That's why it's always a slave delivering these. At least this way she can pretend no one else knows and everyone else can keep up the ruse."

What could Hao Xuan say to that? It would definitely be uncomfortable and he would rather jump into a pit of poisonous serpents but- there was no other option for the time being.

'Is it wrong that I want to accept physical torture over an awkward few seconds? Whatever, I'll be quick about it.'

"Fine."

Bidding Waclaw farewell Hao Xuan went on his way, crossing the grassland and turning right just before the majestic castle gates to go down the side path.

It was a small dirt trail cutting through the fields of some wheat-like crops. He strode through the trail with wide steps in a hurry to get it over with but as he went deeper a strange energy began to permeate the surroundings.

There was plenty of spiritual energy in this mini world but this kind of energy was a lot different. Initially, Hao Xuan couldn't place it but when it came into contact with his body and left behind a tingling sensation that lowered his heartbeat, he realized it wasn't something that simple.

It forcefully lowered his heartbeat, slowed his steps, and even raised his mood for the better.
