Chapter 1211: Chapter 185: Crimson Court (4800)_3
At this moment, Anfa shares this confidential news precisely because the communication on the third layer has been completely severed, giving her the courage to speculate... After all, this Uncle Yafarda is the chairman of the Grand Council, and also the current head of the Silver Gate family. So what if he is really manipulating things behind the scenes? No one else has the means to oppose him!
"Youâve got it wrong, Anfa."
In response, Ian merely chuckles lightly and says, "Iâve known Yafardaâs purpose from the startâmy sole thought was to understand how he achieves his goal. Thatâs why I donât mind helping him."
"Wh... What?"
At this moment, Anfa looks bewildered.
She somewhat comprehends why speaking with a Prophet can be frustrating... because in this world, Prophets can see too much, and no one knows to what extentânobody likes someone who can inexplicably see through everything about them, especially if heâs a riddler.
"Your uncleâs true purpose is actually quite simple."
Ian glances around at the other three present, calmly saying, "What he wants is nothing more than to undertake a âhunt.â"
"Anfa, at the zenith of Canaan Moore, there were only three individuals at the Fifth Energy Level, right?"
"Yes." Anfa nods slightly, the elf girl thinks for a while before realizing, "This is the huntâand indeed it is, at its peak Canaan Moore only had two with the Top Seatâs Blood... and the third was actually an accident, he was the heir of another True Form who advanced to the Fifth Energy Level after completing that True Form."
"Indeed, the Fifth Energy Level. Top Seatâs Blood. These are not the same."
Ian murmurs for a while, and then looks up to explain to everyone, "Obviously, the National Domain Department has already chosen its heir, while the Fertile Soil Tribe intends to remain loyal to their Fifth Energy Levelâthese two major clans have monopolized the Top Seatâs Blood for long enough, havenât they?"
Anfa remains silent. But silence is also a form of response, making the young manâs expression more cheerful, "So I understand very well what Chairman Yafarda is trying to do. The only concern is how much he knows about the ruins... he certainly is not merely at the âonce exploredâ level."
"I even speculate..." Ian says softly, "He is connected to the âMaster of the Labyrinthâ!"
Speculating on these things requires no brainpower. Yafarda has obviously visited the third layer, which is why he gave Ian this special communication device. Actually, official records show that Yafarda has never been hereâthis proves he has his own channels to access the depths of the Exotic Species Research Institute.
And to let an existence at the peak of the Fourth Energy Level frequently journey into the depths of a relic with completely severed outside communications, seriously preparing something, even collaborating with the Master of the Labyrinth... his target is clearly not other Fourth Energy Levels.
"National Domain Department..."
At this moment, Anfa mutters softly, "It must be the Old Ancestor of the National Domain Department... could Uncleâs target possibly be him?! But thatâs too crazy, how does he plan to achieve this?!"
"Maybe. I donât really understand the internal disputes of you elves."
Ian neither refutes nor confirms, having finished pondering and checking the communicator, presses the start button to transmitâthis even makes some of the blood color on everyoneâs body diminish.
It is precisely by seeing this future that Ian dares to act decisively with his companions by his side.
In that instant, an invisible signal bursts out, even at the peak of the Fourth Energy Level it might be undetectable, only Yafarda, who was prepared early on to receive the signal, could understand immediately.
"Hmm... is it Ian and Anfa? That speed, itâs too fast!"
The chairman, currently confronting other Fourth Energy Levels, turns his head thoughtfully, "It seems his strength is indeed extraordinary, even with Anfaâs assistance, being able to reach the third layer at this time point, speaks volumes about their power!"
"But, itâs still early, heâs too fast, which might bring about hidden dangers. There are other signals that still need to wait for the right moment to be activated..."
Thinking of this, the head of the Silver Gate family smiles and continues to confront other strong beings.
Third Layer.
"Alright, Iâm done with my business."
Retrieving the Mithril issue period back into his bosom, Ian finishes his journey in the divine state, then smiles at his friends and says, "Does anyone have any additional information to share? If not, weâll get going!"
Originally, Ian had never thought anyone would have additional information, but unexpectedly, Sioâs somewhat puzzled voice arises.
"This place doesnât seem right, Ian."
Looking around, the red-haired Dragon Maiden feels a bit chills, she frowns tightly, somewhat unnerved as she looks around, "Do you feel... the entire Crimson Court seems to be covered by a peculiar phenomenon?"
"Oh?" Ian pauses, he quickly and earnestly senses the phenomenon covering the entire Crimson Court.
Then, the young man speaks gravely, "Yes, Sio is correct. This place indeed is strange! The Domain of Void is actually oscillating, even showing signs of forming a Subspace Labyrinth, overlapping with the real world!"
"Everyone, be careful... the entire third layer is likely as dangerous as the past Western Frontier of the Empire in Avak Domainâeven more so!"
