If only he could split himself to two, it would have been much better.

But Samuel was only thinking about it in his mind. Even if there was indeed magic that could make puppets, but it was not something that he learned back then. And learning now was definitely far too late.

Unfortunately, none of the returnees knew that they would go back to the Green Planet after they came to that world. They only thought that they had gained an inexplicable second life in a completely different world and strive hard to make sure that they would not do anything wrong.

After all, life in that world was much harsher compared to this world.

"I don't think your words are reliable." Ruben rolled his eyes and then jumped up funnily. "But it doesn't matter, I just have to throw them back to Mr. Jones."

Samuel: "…" he sincerely lit a candle to his father.

Arnold looked at these two people and couldn't help but laugh. He had the feeling that this was indeed a bit funny, especially because neither of them were really serious when talking about this topic.

"Are you going to leave for a long time?" Arnold decided to steer the conversation back. If he let Ruben lead the conversation, who knew which road this man would take.

"It should be only a few days," Samuel replied.

He planned to enter a crack to avoid surveillance and then emerged from a different crack's entrance. While it was impossible to hide his own presence all the time because of the technology advancement, but this should be good enough.

By the time they found him, he should have already advanced to rank 7 and no longer afraid of anything.

Uh wait, he probably still need to worry about Riya.

But aside from that, he wouldn't have much things that he needed to worry about because he was strong enough.

"Tsk, you're about to become a family man too," Ruben muttered in a low voice.

"Don't worry, there's still Stephen to accompany you to play."

"Indeed."

Ruben's lips twitched. Pulling Stephen to play? Are you going to get myself killed?

"I better go back and learn to make runes again. My Master is not very merciful to me," Ruben said bitterly.

After becoming Riya's apprentice, Ruben felt that his hand was no longer his. He had to work hard as Samuel's assistant and then he had to learn a lot of runes. Afterwards, he still has to train his mana control and meditate.

Every single day was so busy that Ruben felt he was about to collapse.

These people really have no mercy on him!

"Becoming serious is also a good thing." Arnold smiled.

"Get lost!"

"Hahaha!"

…

While Samuel was informing others about his intention to leave City A Base, Riya made a short trip to the crack and then called Sophia. The Castle Turtle was very big and it can only be found in lake. After catching one, Riya brought it up, but without any contract with the beast master, it was simply impossible to bring the Castle Turtle into the base.

After all, the size was a bit…

In short, Riya stayed outside of the base, beside one of the crack with a big Castle Turtle beside her.

Even though it was only the size of a room more or less, but it was still nearly three meters high and more than 4 meters in length. When the small Riya stood beside the Castle Turtle, she does look a bit small.

Sophia, who was outside to hunt a few magic beasts, immediately came over when she received Riya's call.

And the tall dark green Castle Turtle was immediately visible.

In terms of appearance, the Castle Turtle actually looked quite similar to ordinary turtle except for the size. But on the back of the Castle Turtle was the castle shaped shell. It was protruding with the center the biggest and the rest were shorter and smaller. The number was far less compared to porcupine, but it could be considered to be a kind of defense. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

"It didn't look that similar to castle," Sophia commented when she looked at the Castle Turtle.

"Do you really think that the shell will shape in accordance to your imagination of castle?" Riya's lips twitched at Sophia's words. She had the feeling that Sophia was thinking about something dangerous.

"Haha…" Sophia rubbed her nose and then asked, "Why do you look for this Castle Turtle so early? I thought that you plan on searching for the Castle Turtle later."

"That's the original plan, but I have to go tomorrow," Riya replied with a shrug.

Thankfully, she was already done with consolidating her rank and does need to go on a trip to replenish her supplies. They would not go directly to advance to rank 7 and Riya could easily manipulate their whereabouts through traveling to other places inside the crack.

Before accompanying Samuel to advance to rank 7, she wanted to hunt a few more rank 6 magic beasts and gathered enough materials.

Hmm, one day should be enough.

"Eh? You're leaving again?" Sophia stepped forward to complete the contract with the Castle Turtle and looked at Riya in surprise.

"Yes. Before making contract, are you satisfied with this Castle Turtle? There's a real living space inside the Castle Turtle where you can live and decorate it as you wishes. This is the real reason why the Castle Turtle is named that way," Riya explained.

Even though the protruding didn't really look like castle from the outside, but if they looked at it from inside, they would see that it was actually very beautiful and spacious.

There were also faint rune markings on the edge of the Castle Turtle's shells.

Riya had long noticed it and knew that it was innate.

And it was also because of these runes that the Castle Turtle could have a living space inside. Unfortunately, it was impossible for them to separate the Castle Turtle from its shell because these runes would immediately stop working.

There was a connection between the Castle Turtle's lives and the space inside its shell.
