The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 598 Three Wonders (2)

"Northern district…"

Jihaad immediately noted the location of the Gravity Chamber in his heart. Even he had heard about the Great Ratholos Empire's Gravity Chambers.

Gravity Chambers were complex rooms that made use of magic formations and enchantments to create artificial gravity and apply pressure on the warriors in training. No amount of weight training could compare to training under heightened gravitational pressure.

After all, weights only target specific muscles depending on the physical exercise. On the other hand, higher gravitational pressure targeted the entire body.

"However, our Sunrock Bazaar's Gravity Chambers are nothing special; they are only Rank 1 Gravity Chambers. They can only produce twofold gravity," Latifa suddenly explained.

A Rank 1 Body Refiner could still get some benefits from this quality of Gravity Chambers. But Jihaad and Vaan's level, they would just be burning money for nothing if they were expecting something.

"I-I see…" Jihaad uttered with further disappointment before suddenly pausing in thought.

After ruminating over Latifa's words, he realized that if Rank 1 Gravity Chambers existed, Rank 2 Gravity Chambers or higher could also exist.

"W-Where can I find Gravity Chambers for Rank 3 Body Refiners, Miss Latifa?" Jihaad sincerely inquired with pure eyes.

His clear gaze slightly moved Latifa.

Warriors striving to improve themselves was nothing new to her. However, seeing one as purely driven as Jihaad was still rare. Normally, people of such diligence trained for an unselfish reason.

"Duke Al-Hulazar's domain would be the closest region from here," Latifa stated after some thought before adding some advice, "Although there are Rank 3 Gravity Chambers there, I wouldn't recommend training there as a long-term plan, Sir Jihaad."

"Why?" Jihaad became curious.

"It's too costly to reserve a Rank 3 Gravity Chamber, Sir Jihaad," Latifa smiled helplessly and said, "Even if you have deep pockets, they'll be drained quickly."

Most warriors visiting the Great Ratholos Empire weren't wealthy people, nor did they have influential backgrounds. As such, they normally couldn't afford the cost of using a Rank 3 Gravity Chambers.

Although Jihaad and Vaan were interesting and mysterious, Latifa didn't think they were wealthy according to their worn-out attire.

"T-Thank you for your advice, Miss Latifa. W-We will keep that in mind," Jihaad said.

"Do you have any questions so far, Sir Vanderlin?" Latifa turned to Vaan, hoping he would speak more. After all, he was the one she was more interested in chatting with, not to mention he was the one who requested a chatting companion.

Vaan briefly contemplated before asking, "The Black Mountain… it's not from this world, is it?"

Latifa immediately expressed her astonishment and thought, 'Sure enough, Sir Vanderlin has more interesting topics to discuss.'

"That's actually unconfirmed. However, many people do believe the Black Mountain was originally a large piece of space debris that fell from beyond the sky. I also share this belief, Sir Vanderlin," Latifa admitted.

"I see…" Vaan's eyes flickered thoughtfully.

According to Latifa's words, there was a high chance the Black Mountain wasn't just any mountain of black iron. In fact, it should most likely be a mountain of Starcore Iron!

Only iron from a star's core would be incredibly heavy and have a strong gravitational field.

However, if the Black Mountain were made of Starcore Iron, its value would be truly astronomical. After all, true Starcore Iron was incredibly strong, if not the strongest. Weapons and equipment forged with it wouldn't be low in quality.

Nevertheless, turning such a large piece of Starcore Iron into a forging material would be extremely wasteful. It was no wonder the Great Ratholos Empire would treat it as its national treasure.

"Since training with Rank 3 Gravity Chambers isn't recommended, where do you recommend we should train, Miss Latifa?" Vaan calmly inquired.

"The Heavenly Steps would be my recommendation, Sir Vanderlin. Although it can't be compared to Black Mountain, it's still better than ordinary Gravity Chambers. More importantly, it's open to the public and free for all to challenge," Latifa said before suddenly smiling wryly. "Although… You will have to travel a little far."

The so-called Heavenly Steps was a set of staircases that ran deep under the Eastern Sea. As such, Latifa wasn't kidding when she said they had to travel a little far. After all, it was located beyond the far east shores of the Great Ratholos Empire.

Warriors could train at the Heavenly Steps by putting their bodies under immense underwater pressure. The more steps they advanced, the greater the underwater pressure they had to withstand.

"The distance isn't an issue, Miss Latifa." Vaan casually waved his hand before saying, "However, that isn't all the reason why you recommend the Heavenly Steps to us, isn't that so?"

"It seems I can't hide anything from you, Sir Vanderlin," Latifa smiled wryly, feeling a little doubtful of her service.

She wondered if Vaan even needed her to explain anything to him. She felt like Vaan already knew everything and simply sought her explanation to verify his own information.

Latifa could only admit with a nod, "That's right. In addition to the benefits I mentioned, you could hunt sea monsters for battle experience and sell their meat for money. The carcasses of sea monsters have high values."

"This should help you accumulate wealth to reserve higher-ranking Gravity Chambers for training. However, you can also trade them for merits at the Martial Hall to improve your membership rank, allowing you to become a core member sooner."

"Although there is a certain level of danger in doing so, when has the world ever been free of dangers? Moreover, warriors improve the fastest when they bear the pressure of life and death."

"That's true," Vaan and Jihaad both nodded, one with calmness and the other with excitement.

Vaan could see through Latifa's ulterior motive – she wanted to utilize sea monsters to gauge his true strength. Latifa was aware that if he could remain undefeated in fifteen challenges, ordinary warriors at Sunrock Bazaar would be inadequate to test him.

But regardless of Latifa's secret intentions, it was also true that the Heavenly Steps was the ideal place to start training.

Jihaad's eyes burned with anticipation, setting the Heavenly Steps as his first destination after Martial Hall. Even Vaan was interested in perusing the techniques at the Martial Hall.

Shortly after Latifa briefed them on several other minor training locations, she asked, "Is there anything else you would like to learn, Sir Vanderlin?"

"How much do you know about the Delarosa family, Miss Latifa?" Vaan casually asked.

Latifa's eyes immediately flashed with greater interest.
