Shaya’s current state was very strange. Brown branches extended all around his body, reaching into the large tree behind him and into the soil below.

The current Shaya looked like a marionette with a hundred strings attached.

But in fact, these root stems weren’t controlling Shaya – they were actually being controlled by Shaya instead.

Keli was hiding behind a rock. Actually, from their position they couldn’t see Gorsa, and normally he couldn’t see them in the dense forest either, but she was still cautiously avoiding detection.

“Right now, more than one faction is watching Tower Master Gorsa both openly and secretly. If we appear directly before him, it’s easy to expose our purpose. So we can’t show ourselves – we can only try to remind him through an anomaly, then take advantage of the chaos to rescue Grand Duke Kira. That’s the most important task of our trip.”

Keli explained in detail, seriously, perhaps even excessively.

But for some reason, Shaya just felt that Keli’s explanation was only to cover up the fact that she was afraid of Gorsa.

“Is this really necessary?” Shaya observed distant Gorsa through the treetop of the large tree he was connected to.

When he was still a living first-rank wizard, he had heard Gorsa’s name, but had never truly seen him. Watching from afar today.

He always felt like the other wasn’t as powerful as the rumors suggested!

However, considering Gorsa might be injured due to failed advancement, perhaps the other was intentionally maintaining a low profile.

Look, he wasn’t even using magic to travel, and even his attire was ordinary.

Just as Shaya was staring at Gorsa’s figure, wondering who was stronger between him and Saul now, he suddenly shivered all over.

Shaya instinctively withdrew his gaze, returning to his marionette-like body.

“Did someone just discover us?” he hurriedly asked Keli, now looking like a frightened prairie dog. Check latest chapters at novel·fire.net

Keli was silent for a moment. “Probably you were discovered.”

“How is that possible…” Shaya instinctively wanted to refute, but he quickly sobered up, or rather his paranoia struck again. “Could we have been discovered long ago? Or is this all a trap just to lure us in?”

Keli couldn’t help but throw a wooden stick from behind the rock at Shaya’s head, though it was deflected by small leaves that automatically grew from the top of Shaya’s head.

“Don’t start baseless speculation!” Keli took a breath. “No matter who noticed you, we’re transferring immediately.”

After speaking, Keli didn’t wait for Shaya and turned to run. Shaya quickly broke the branches on his body and completely melted into the soil.

In the small village separated by a hill in the distance, Gorsa stood in place hesitating.

“Should I go find Yura, or first go find the Inverted Tree?”

He felt like both shouldn’t be missed.

“Forget it, the Inverted Tree seems to have some connection with Saul. I’ll have him send me a copy later.”

Gorsa vaguely remembered hearing about Saul’s two trips to Bayton Academy, temporarily abandoning the idea of uprooting that Inverted Tree that had somehow run over here.

Passing through the small village and entering Kema’s royal capital, he could immediately see the ancient castle that had stood on the mountain for many years.

The sisters Yura and Kira should be there.

Gorsa stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the royal palace, but felt like he was standing on clouds looking down at all living beings. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N()velFire.net

“After dawdling for so long, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, right? Everyone who should come has come, right?”

Gorsa pulled his cloak’s hood, hiding the upper half of his face in shadow.

In places others couldn’t see, the shadows were stirring, rejoicing, desperately… restraining themselves.

…

Saul returned from the Chaos Realm again. Now he wouldn’t stay in the Chaos Realm for too long because he needed to constantly monitor the situations with Shaya and Mido, unable to lose contact for extended periods.

As a result, today he had just returned to the wizard world and hadn’t yet entered the Prismatic Channel when he heard Mr. Steward knocking on the door.

“Tower Master, there’s an encrypted letter addressed to you.”

Saul pushed the door open and came out, somewhat surprised. At this time, who would write to him?

In his memory, only Keli and Kismet had ever written to him.

Saul reached out to take the letter. The envelope was completely blank. He looked it over twice – it didn’t even have a recipient written on it.

“The messenger said orally it was to be delivered to you.” Steward Hope bowed to explain.

“Where is the person?”

“Just after I received the letter, they turned to ash in the sunlight.” Hope’s facial expression showed no change, as if he had received such letters before.

“Want to guess who sent you the letter?” Saul noticed the Steward’s composure.

“If you want me to guess, it should be someone from Glare.” Hope slightly leaned forward, then stepped back, indicating he wouldn’t peek.

Saul then opened the letter. It was indeed from someone from the Glare Family. What surprised Saul was that the letter writer was actually the Glare Patriarch – Norton!

Saul had just finished reading the content inside when surprise quietly arose in his heart, but when he wanted to read it a second time, the letter paper also turned to ash.

Saul slightly narrowed his eyes, thinking about the letter’s content, gently rubbing his fingertips to let the dust staining his fingers fall.

After a moment, Saul opened his eyes and directly called the steward over.

“Pack up. Byron and I are going to Kema Duchy.” After Saul finished speaking, he turned back into the room and slammed the door shut with a “bang.”

The steward didn’t know what had happened, but hearing that Saul wanted to leave the Borderland still made him somewhat anxious.

As the steward of the wizard tower, he had a general understanding of all matters. If Saul openly left the Borderland for Kema at this time, when the Tribunal people discovered it, they would inevitably come to take Saul away.

Could it be that the Glare Family people promised to help Saul escape the Tribunal’s entanglement?

But was the Tribunal really such an easy faction to shake off?

But no matter what Hope thought, he couldn’t disobey the Tower Master’s wishes. Moreover, Saul had just made his decision and immediately returned to his room, giving him no chance to offer suggestions.

He went downstairs with a heavy heart, then grabbed a passing wizard. “Mins, go prepare carriages and horses for the Tower Master to travel to Kema’s royal capital tomorrow.”

Mins was pulled and stumbled, saying in surprise, “Didn’t the Tower Master just return less than… two months ago? How is he going out again?”

“That’s not for you to ask.” Hope successfully infected the next person with his heart full of conflict, then clapped his hands and left with satisfaction.

Mins was very efficient. That evening he had prepared carriages for Saul and Byron. According to the detailed requirements he later inquired about, he carefully added concealment magical arrays to the carriages.

After learning the luggage was ready, Saul left the Purity Wizard Tower with Byron that very night.

This time they didn’t take the original exit located in Hanging Hands Valley, but chose another exit farther from Kema Duchy.

The carriage bore no markings of the Purity Wizard Tower and appeared very low-key.

The night was deep, moonlight hazy, and insect calls sparse.

It was a good time for quiet travel.

Byron sat in the swaying carriage, looking at the coachman and Saul who sat expressionlessly against the carriage wall, frowning as he asked, “Why the rush to go to Kema Duchy? And bringing me…”

Saul raised his hand, not letting Byron continue.

“The thing was already prepared, just lacking an opportunity. Now the opportunity has delivered itself, so naturally we must seize the time.”

“But…” Byron wasn’t someone who asked many questions, but he really didn’t know what Saul wanted to do now. Thinking of what he was carrying and that terrifying thing in the Chaos Realm, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

“Don’t ask, Senior.” Saul opened his eyes and turned to look at Byron. “The less you know, the better.”
