Pillar of Yita

But the other party still shook his head:

”I remember I said, I think it’s safer to stay here.”

Fang Hong carefully looked at this disheveled middle-aged man, almost as if he was trying to see through him. He always felt that this person must be hiding some secrets, but sometimes that’s just how it is. Eteliria is so vast that everyone in this world might be hiding many secrets.

However, not every secret has an answer, and he also understood that he couldn’t possibly figure out everything. Finally, after giving Delan one last glance, Fang Hong decided to turn around and leave. He knew that once he left this place, he probably wouldn’t return.

He spoke: ”Thank you for the blueprint, it’s an excellent design.”

Delan smiled lightly, indifferent: ”You’re welcome.”

This was just a conversation between two Alchemists.

And Fang Hong understood, this might be the last conversation between the two of them, even though they had only met once. Moreover, everything hidden here—perhaps Delan would keep it all to himself until he died namelessly in this prison, and no one would ever know.

But it’s possible that in the future another Invoker might come to this place, coincidentally unlock this task line, and learn all the secrets behind this mysterious middle-aged man.

However, Eteliria is just like that, it seems so unfathomable to people of both worlds.

After Fang Hong walked out of the prison door, he saw Wu Xiaopang sneaking up. Although there were no Guards patrolling around, this Little Fatty still lowered his voice and said to him: ”Boss, there seems to be new developments in the Inner Court.”

After they seized the fortress, naturally some stayed behind to monitor the movements of the Guards in the Inner Court. If anything changed, they would notify this side. Fang Hong heard and asked: ”What’s happening?”

”There seems to be movement.”

Fang Hong was taken aback, realizing that the other party might have perceived something. Although he still didn’t know how they knew about it, since no one had checked this area before. However, this was within his expectations, and being exposed now was actually more lenient than his minimum time estimate, so he wasn’t very surprised.

He only replied: ”The task over here has already ended, so before they fully mobilize, let’s strike first, next plan is to seize that warehouse.”

But as he said this, Fang Hong suddenly paused and looked at Wu Xiaopang, asking: ”By the way, there’s something I want to ask you.”

Upon hearing that the boss wanted to consult him, Wu Xiaopang was flattered, quickly asked: ”Boss, just tell me, I will speak without reserve.”

”Well,” Fang Hong pondered for a moment, careful not to scare the guy: ”Suppose if there were Gold Coins worth several millions in front of you, could you figure out a way to take them?”

Wu Xiaopang was taken aback, then looked at Fang Hong with a strange expression, staring at the latter in confusion:

”What’s wrong, is there something on my face?”

Wu Xiaopang quickly shook his head: ”No, boss, didn’t you say time is limited, why are you teasing me?”

”How am I teasing you?”

”Boss, are you serious?”

Fang Hong felt quite bewildered, replied irritatedly: ”Of course, what else do you think?”

So Wu Xiaopang’s expression became even more peculiar: ”Well... couldn’t you just digitalize it directly?”

”Huh?”

Fang Hong instantly petrified.
