Lord of the Truth

The night passed quickly after that short conversation, the girl was tired and fell asleep immediately. While Robin remained sitting in front of the cave in a meditative position trying to discover the laws around him.

Everything that happens can be linked to a heavenly law. For example, the scene of falling leaves captured him for some time thinking about what he sees... Can this be attributed to the path of the wind that carried the leaves or the path of the water that dried the leaves and made them weak?

And those little stones rolling from the top of the mountain, can they be attributed to the path of gravity, or to the paths of the wind and water that loosened the soil? Wherever he looks, he finds a possible law...

But any random minor heavenly law from these paths will take him tens of years to complete, so he was not in a hurry to make his decision.

Robin remained in this position for a few more hours until morning came, when he felt a slight wind on his neck, he opened his eyes and looked next to him to find a girl's face an inch away from him "Woah!! What are you doing, woman?!" Robin panicked and took a few steps back

"Woman? I'm a young pretty lady, hmph! What are you doing in meditation, old man? you want to appear mysterious to capture this beautiful lady's heart?"

Even now the girl still rejects the idea that the man in front of her is just a teenager of her age, because simply such talent should be in some palace surrounded by slaves And beautiful women.. not lying alone in a cave.

"..did you rest and eat? Scram then. I want to get back to what I was doing."

"Oh, you really can't deal with beauties, it doesn't matter, my name is Mila Bradley, though I didn't really need it, you did came to save me and even gave me food, I don't like the feeling of being indebted to anyone! If you ever needed something, come and find me, I will help you with one thing without conditions."

"Milla... Milla ..are you Duke Bradley's daughter?!" Robin said surprisingly, even that he never saw her, of course he heard about the pride of the Bradly duchy!

"Haha, now you know how awesome this young lady is? But it's too late, I'm going to Jura City, see you old man!" Before even the last word was finished, the girl jumped towards the south, followed by a faint shadow moving through the trees.

That shadow stopped suddenly in the middle of his track to looked at Robin and then at the young lady he was protecting as if he was choosing between two options... but in the end, he sighed and followed her silently.

Robin looked at them until they disappeared from his view then smiled 'I think she'll be disappointed when she can't find Robin Burton, I would love to see her reaction hehe... but this will probably be the last time I see her'. Then he returned to his place in front of his cave and restarted his meditation.

-----------

And this was his life for the next period... He sits meditating for continuous days, sometimes he opens his mouth as if he understood something then closes it quickly and frowns, sometimes he yells, sometimes he just stands to kick any random thing beside him before returning to his position...

Day after day... month after month.. he started getting used to his new life cycle, meditating, hunting, eating, sleeping a little, then repeat.

In Jura, the situation settled faster than he thought. Because he was already living in isolation, his absence haven't really affected the lives of many.. Rather, most of them did not know that he had left until an eccentric young girl came to announce that she was challenging him, but he didn't answer the call! 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Many called him a coward and a shame to the city and..and..~ driving Earl Brian Burton to personally appear and announce that Robin has left the city for an open training period and he does not know when he will return, maybe he would never return.

The news broke like a storm across the city and found its way to the entire Duchy of Alton, not every day such a genius appears, but this one disappeared just as fast. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

But even this was only circulated among talented of the younger generation, and soon the name of Robin Burton subsided and disappeared...

A mere tenth-level teenager doesn't affect the big picture of a grand duchy inhabited by millions of people.

The Patriarch tried to search for him, but he hadn't found a trace. Robin didn't tell anyone about his destination, so no one tried to search for him in the outer beast zone, even if someone did go to search there he wouldn't find him in his small cave within such a vast area.

eventually, Patriarch Brian sighed and tried to forget the beautiful dream he painted for the family one day...' this boy was as stupid as he was a genius!'

As for his father, he pressured the family to increase his allowance in order to *increase his contributions and bring more geniuses to the world*, and he had what he wanted~

Robin's mother was the only one who was really saddened by his absence, but she consoled herself that he's now in a better place doing whatever he wants.

As for his only friend, or more accurately, the person who used to sit with him for an hour every few months, Billy Burton, stayed for a while looking at the road which his friend had left from. He stayed like this for a few weeks until the last time when he closed his fists tightly, clenched his teeth, and turned around to leave. no one knew what he was thinking, but this young man looked as he had made a Fateful decision.

-----------------------

Ten years passed in a flash...

Robin was still sitting in front of the same cave, but his surroundings had changed. It was covered with the skins of the beasts he had killed while their heads decorating the walls. He himself grew a thick beard on his face.

During this period Robin hasn't mastered anything yet, his destination is still unclear and overcast... He hadn't discovered evidence of any new path during the first year of meditation. eventually, he concluded that just sitting and meditating was a dead end.

So he decided on checking random minor laws until he finds something worth pursuing.

Currently, he has several theories and knows some truths about more than one undiscovered minor heavenly law, coupled with his harsh living conditions over the past decade, had made him much more stronger and experienced, he wasn't just an energy container as he was... his current strength is far above the tenth level boundary.
