Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 1970: Chapter 1971: ”Story

As Rhein and the two city lords of Sky Mechanical City discussed ways to handle the seed at the same time, the Crown Star Church was also talking about the seed.

However, unlike Rhein’s open discussion, the meeting did not reveal too much information.

In the vast and silent Observatory Hall, ”Twist Whisperer” Shura, wearing a whirlpool mask and only showing his left eye, said lightly: ”Let me be the first to speak today. However, what I will say might not be as shocking as Dodoro’s prophecy yesterday...”

As Shura spoke, he glanced around the room. He noticed that almost everyone had their eyes on Dodoro. Clearly, after a night of brewing, the matter of Peach Heart Theater had spread entirely. They now understood the significance of Peach Heart Theater, and thus felt even more amazed by Dodoro, who spoke the prophecy.

However, compared to everyone’s surprise, Dodoro seemed completely isolated in another world. He appeared not at all affected by the burning gaze of others, still quietly sitting cross-legged on the floor, contemplating with his eyes closed, immersed in his own thoughts.

This calm and composed demeanor made Shura nod in silent approval.

If Dodoro truly belonged to that race, favored by the World Will yet still humble and unpretentious, maintaining such a temperament is indeed difficult. Shura knew very well that one of the reasons that extraordinary race fell was not only due to their talents but their arrogance borne from their inherent glory.

Dodoro’s ability to possess such a steady style truly earned Shura’s admiration. If he continues developing methodically, Shura believes that even if Dodoro never enters the Hall of Time, he would soon have the qualifications to compete for the Observer’s seat.

Though Shura admired him in various ways mentally, none of it showed on his expression. He merely glanced at Dodoro out of the corner of his eye and then turned back and continued: ”What I am going to talk about today is difficult to judge if it’s significant or not, so consider it as listening to a story.”

”What I talk about is the incident of Sky Mechanical City’s City Lord Rosen encountering an attack.”

Shura blamed the black hand behind City Lord Rosen’s attack on an extremely radical hidden sect.

This sect naturally referred to the seed.

However, Shura did not mention the name of the seed nor convey any information about it to the people but said: ”I haven’t found out where this sect comes from, but I vaguely sense that it is shrouded in endless darkness. Their purpose might be to subvert the entire Southern Domain Wizard World. This is what makes me feel terrified, so if any of you encounter this type of hidden sect in the future, try to eliminate it to prevent future troubles. This is for the future of the Southern Domain.”

After Shura finished speaking, he did not care what others thought, nodded to the crowd, and returned to the Observer’s position.

The other Observers did not comment on Shura’s speech either, because letting Shura briefly disclose the seed information was their mutual decision.

Originally, they had no plans to reveal the matter of the seed, considering its significance; some narrow-minded wizards might, for various reasons, turn rebellious and eventually become the seed’s helpers.

Observers thought only necessary to meet with the heads of major Witcher Organizations in private. However, under the demand of Sky Mechanical City’s City Lord Rosen, they were compelled to disclose some information.

City Lord Rosen’s strong request was not genuinely intending to spread the seed news widely but to reassure the citizens of Sky Mechanical City.

The Arrow of the Defeated’s influence was enormous, shaking the entire populace of Sky Mechanical City. Though Rosen remained unharmed and showed no abnormalities, the aftermath brought by the Arrow of the Defeated hadn’t fully dissipated. To calm the citizens, Rosen previously promised to ask the Crown Star Church’s Prophet Wizards to investigate the origin of ”that arrow.”

Thus, Shura made this speech today, serving as a response to Rosen’s promise to the city people.

Shura, as the first speaker, actually discussed a very significant matter. However, only Maya and Dodoro comprehended the seed’s importance among the attendees; everyone else regarded it as listening to a ”story” with no significant reaction.

If it weren’t for the speaker being an Observer, even sparse feedback might not have been received.

Perhaps seeing that Shura could tell this kind of story lacking meaningful significance, after Shura finished speaking, a few more Prophet Wizards stood up to speak.

These Prophet Wizards indeed talked about meaningless fragments.

Meaningless fragments were one thing, but they hoped others would help analyze them and find meaningful highlights.

The so-called others surely did not refer to the Prophet Wizards below the stage but the Observers above.

However, the Observers were all extraordinarily cold, unwilling to pay attention, except for Lapuye, who smilingly pointed out some possibly ”meaningful” highlights, graciously giving these Prophet Wizards some face.

Despite this, when the sixth Prophet Wizard stood up and spoke again about a future fragment lacking significance, one Observer finally spoke up.

”People who can’t even judge whether their own future fragment holds significance, what qualifications do they have to stand up and waste everyone’s time?” said Evan, his expression severe and accusing: ”you can quietly be listeners, but if this exchange meeting continues with such meaningless prophecies, then be prepared to leave early.”

Everyone could feel that Evan’s words were extremely forceful, yet even so, no Observers refuted, not even Shura, who often liked to contradict Evan, kept silent in support of Evan’s statement.

Even the Observers agreed, in this stern and somber atmosphere, Prophet Wizards preparing to speak but unable to judge themselves, dared not speak anymore; those who hadn’t planned to speak were secretly glad.

Prophet Wizards who hadn’t prepared to speak, although they didn’t see anything in the Mystery of the Stars, weren’t restricted by future fragments, making them more accurately judge the atmosphere on stage.

This exchange meeting was clearly different from the past. Previously, after saying the prophecy on the first day, Observers would mostly leave by the second day, so in the second day’s meeting, people talking about insignificant future images weren’t unusual; it was merely for Prophecy Apprentices to gather future materials and expand their knowledge.

However, this time, with all the Observers attending the second day’s meeting, it indicated their importance on today’s exchange. In such importance, some insignificant prophecy fragments can’t be impudently released.

After Evan expressed anger, the exchange meeting still had to continue.

Those Prophet Wizards who spoke meaningless fragments before sat down recognizingly. Yet, after he sat down, no one took his place, obviously everyone feared Evan’s anger might again be unleashed upon them.

As silence continued to spread, Lapuye looked towards the Observer’s seats, seemingly wanting one of the Observers to fill the prophecy gap.

But, before this Observer could speak, seated below was Maya who stood up first.
