“The Bud, the Bud…” Rosen muttered this term over and over again under his breath. If it had been any time prior, this word would not have elicited any response from him. But now, this word seemed like a curse, causing Rosen to feel a chill down his spine every time he uttered it.
Now, Rosen finally grasped the gravity of the situation, understanding why Angel had taken such pains to inform him about it.
Because it was of utmost importance!
To put it another way, the matter of the Bud represents a turbulent upheaval for the entire Wizarding World. Yet, the most terrifying part is, this issue couldn’t be discussed openly with many.
It was a nightmarish specter shrouded in mist.
One must not ask, ponder, spread, guess, and certainly not attempt anything related to it.
Such a harrowing secret now lies in the Gloriosa Kingdom. It’s akin to saying that right beside Sky Mechanical City, there is an uncontrollable time bomb waiting to detonate.
Rosen couldn’t even begin to fathom the scale of catastrophe if the faith in the Bud were to explode within Sky Mechanical City.
Sky Mechanical City is one of the primary financial hubs in the Southern Region of the Wizarding World. It essentially houses the crème de la crème of the entire Wizarding World, with prominent wizard organizations and wizard families establishing their bases here. If the “Disaster of the Bud” were to erupt here, it could potentially engulf the whole Wizarding World in a blink.
It must be stopped! And every possible measure must be taken to prevent it!
Rosen is usually a man of icy demeanor, but today’s revelations stirred in him a strong resolve.
A determination that he must see through. Otherwise, Sky Mechanical City might very well be overturned by the “Disaster of the Bud.”
Even if no signs are apparent now, Rosen was already resolute in his heart to nip this potential calamity in the bud.
With these thoughts in mind, Rosen quickly activated the control panel, intending to contact the upper echelons of Sky Mechanical City for a meeting. However, just as he was about to press the “Summon” button, he hesitated.
Although the high-ranking officials of Sky Mechanical City were his close confidants, human intentions are fickle, so he felt it best not to inform them about this matter.
Rosen swiftly closed the control panel, opting instead to activate the communicator. In no time, a pale blue luminescent spirit materialized before him.
“Lord Rosen, and Lord Angel, what can I assist you with?” Antonio looked at Rosen and Angel, noting the grave expressions on their faces, identical in their seriousness. This led him to forgo the usual pleasantries and get straight to the point.
“Is Muse still in seclusion?” Rosen inquired.
Antonio responded affirmatively.
Rosen pondered for a moment, “Then there’s no need to disturb him; informing you will suffice.”
Rosen glanced at Angel, seeking his approval with a silent query if they could disclose the matter to Antonio. Angel nonchalantly shrugged, indicating indifference. If Rosen had already reached out to Antonio, it meant his decision was made; consulting Angel wouldn’t change the outcome.
Rosen promptly recounted the entire sequence of events concerning “the Bud affair”. After listening, Antonio fell into a prolonged silence.
“I see,” Antonio said, now somewhat understanding why they approached the matter with such gravity. Indeed, this situation was of immense importance. Its long-term implications could be just as profound, if not more so, than the news Angel previously shared about Ivo.
A Mysterious Object, the true nature and location of which even they weren’t aware, had put Sky Mechanical City on high alert. Antonio couldn’t help but sigh internally, reflecting on the enigmatic power of the unknown.
“What do you intend to do, Lord Rosen?” Antonio directed his gaze back at Rosen.
“Discussing how to proceed now is premature. We currently need to gather more information regarding the followers of the Bud, as well as intelligence on those from the other planes.”
As for how to obtain this information:
The current approaches that come to mind are, aside from actively searching, seeking assistance from a prophecy wizard.
Actively searching could pique the curiosity of many, causing the news about the Bud to spread even faster. Therefore, ruling that out, the only discreet and appropriate option left is to seek a prophecy wizard.
Without any hesitation, Rosen immediately activated the console and directed Melanctha outside, “Summon Apulia to me.”
Apulia is a prophecy wizard who has resided in the opposite city area for many years. In his early years, he received the grace of Muse. To repay Muse, he joined the Achillea Comprehensive College as a guiding professor. However, he personally prefers being referred to as a follower of Muse.
After summoning Apulia, Rosen then said to Antonio, “I will soon unlock the third privilege of the Magic Eye. I hope you can allocate some energy to penetrate it, assisting me in monitoring the entire Sky Mechanical City.”
This is the main reason Rosen shared this matter with Antonio, as Antonio’s strength lies in his perception.
Antonio nodded in agreement, “I can.”
“If there’s any information that seems related to the Bud, inform me immediately. In urgent situations, you have the priority to handle them.”
Not long after, Apulia arrived at the metallic hall where Rosen was located.
He appeared young, but his eyes reflected immense experience. Holding an ordinary wooden staff, he walked in from outside.
To any onlooker, his steps might seem ordinary, but in Angel’s eyes, each of his steps seemed to be precisely in the center of the intricate web of destiny.
This profound and mysterious aura emanating from him ensures that no one would mistake his identity at first glance.
Upon Apulia’s entry, he noticed both Angel and Antonio present, which slightly took him by surprise.
The tense atmosphere made Apulia wonder about the reason for Rosen’s summons that day.
Apulia lightly leaned on his staff, attempting to discern the flow of the River of Destiny. However, in the end, he couldn’t derive a clear answer. The only thing he was certain of was that today’s matter might be out of the ordinary.
Apulia gently nodded to both Angel and Antonio before setting his gaze on Rosen, stating, “Destiny informs me that the reason you summoned me, Lord Rosen, must be exceptional.”
“Indeed, it’s a matter of utmost importance,” responded Rosen, handing over an exquisitely crafted parchment to Apulia.
Upon examining the parchment, a flicker of astonishment flashed across Apulia’s eyes.
It was a contract written in the name of the Primary Will.
Invoking the name of the Primary Will generally signifies a gravely binding agreement. However, after a detailed read, Apulia realized that the terms of the contract weren’t overly demanding.
In essence, there was only one clause: The affairs of this day must not be disclosed by any means.
In other words, it was a confidentiality agreement.
However, utilizing such a high-standard form for a contract was a first for Apulia.
This further validated his foresight from the River of Destiny; Rosen’s summoning was of unparalleled significance.
Seeing Apulia holding the contract without any action for a while, Rosen softly mentioned, “If you choose not to sign, that’s also acceptable.”
Rosen didn’t intend to pressure Apulia. Although prophecy wizards are rare, they aren’t non-existent. It’s just that Apulia’s bond with Sky Mechanical City was particularly close.
With a faint smile, Apulia swiftly left his unique signature on the contract.
“There’s no hesitation on my part,” he said. “While destiny has revealed the gravity of this matter, it hasn’t warned of any danger to me. Knowing more without significant risks seems no harm.”
