From MC's Perspective:
Cory observed Ethan's reaction. Seeing that he was contemplating, she sighed inwardly. She knows her family standing in the Ancient Redwood Country.
She doesn't want to spill too much information about her country. Because it might scare the foreigner Ethan. From the conversation she can tell that Foreigner Ethan is not from Super Country or other blessed places.
If he learns about the top force, there is a chance that he might escape. She then looks at Ethan.
"Do you understand now?"
"It's difficult to enter the country with a disguised identity. Maybe you can try entering our country by using your original identity," Cory added.
"Alright, I'll think about it later. But thank you for your clarification though," I said to her.
Cory nodded before collecting the 5 Artifacts before leaving the room. The other hand, I stood in daze.
