But he couldn’t say any of these things out loud, so he could only hope that William would take his previous words seriously enough.
This conversation was confusing to others, only the Princess and Antitina’s group, who knew the inside story, understood part of it. However, the prediction of the continent’s future was really not something they could fathom. In fact, considering Brand’s status, his insight was already somewhat extraordinary.
The nobles were concerned with immediate interests, even Princess Griffith only cared about the rise and fall of the Erune Kingdom; the fate of the continent, the changes in history, seemed not to be matters mortals should worry about.
Fortunately, it seemed William also did not delve deeply into this issue.
Macaro seemed to finally react and barely caught from William’s words that the renowned Great Mage came here for some important thing. Yet, he had not heard a word about this important thing from any party until today.
He looked at the Princess dissatisfiedly.
Princess Griffith seemed to have been prepared and replied blandly, "Lord Overwell, Lord Macaro, I have brought you here today, so I won’t hide anything from you. However, this matter is of great importance, and everything needs to be handled cautiously. Please understand."
Hearing this, Macaro slightly furrowed his brow.
"Mortal, put away your dissatisfaction. She is right, to the miracle you are about to witness, your selfish thoughts are merely dust on a gemstone," William suddenly glanced over coldly reminding them.
His words instantly silenced everyone.
The authority of the mage leader of the Silver Alliance was revealed without reservation at this moment.
Only then did Brand order Barbara and her team to teleport everyone into the underground ruins. They passed through a long corridor, and this time in the darkness, the spider queen seemed to sense William’s presence as if by some animal instinct, and it let these uninvited guests walk in its tunnels without ever appearing, which made Brand very frustrated.
Just like understanding a player’s annoyance when bringing a high-level NPC intent on easily taking down a BOSS, but the BOSS cleverly hides away instead.
The group did not move quickly in the dark.
Because unlike the last time, they were not in a state of flight, everyone could take the time to observe the surrounding scenery. The underground passage extended through the crisscrossing fissures, some of which were man-made, while others were nature’s wonders. The fissures spread in all directions, making the whole underground ruins look like a giant web.
In this respect, it matched the owner of this place perfectly.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the prayer room from that day. The prayer room remained as it was, shrouded in darkness, and even the array remained completely intact on the ground.
William Pest took just one glance at the array and softly exclaimed, "This is the witches’ legacy. Indeed they are related to that thing. It’s rumored that the Miner people took it to the glaciers, but in fact, the history of witches predates the Miner people."
Among everyone, probably only Brand and the female fairy Tania behind the Old Mage understood what he meant, along with the white cat in Roman’s arms, whose eyes also flashed. The Great Mage was referring to the history before the fall of Babel Fortress, concerning which bloodline the Sky Blue Knight truly inherited from.
The Great Mage placed his hand on the teleportation array, furrowed his brow, and withdrew it: "This array is also a bloodline legacy, almost the strongest precautionary measure." He turned around and looked at Brand, asking, "But you’ve prepared countermeasures, right?"
"Of course," Brand replied and turned his head: "Sugar Jar."
