After Angel muttered these words, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he stared even more intently at the peculiar rune.
Tree Spirit, standing by, also heard Angel’s murmur.
Although Tree Spirit couldn’t craft runes himself, he had some understanding of their rules. Connective runes are a type of rune that binds different magical symbols together, serving as a joint with no inherent meaning but crucial for bridging and initiating in rune crafting. Despite being indispensable, connective runes often appear abundantly and are overlooked due to their seeming insignificance.
Hearing Angel’s tone, it seemed he had previously overlooked a certain connective rune. Now, upon closer inspection, he found a repetition?
What did a repeated connective rune signify?
Tree Spirit, with his limited knowledge of runes, wracked his brain for an answer… but before he could deduce anything, Angel’s murmur reached his ears again: “Oh, I was mistaken; there’s no repetition.”
Tree Spirit: “…”
Angel stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, then his eyes suddenly brightened: “This extra little angle can’t form a connective rune. Could it be linked to some other… rune!”
“Then, could it be a functional rune?”
“If it’s a functional rune, then it must have its effect.” Angel spoke with some excitement: “The defense rune is already complete; this function is certainly unrelated to it. It’s an independent functional rune!”
“Could it be the answer we’ve been desperately searching for?!”
Angel murmured to himself for a while, suddenly excited, he sat cross-legged on the ground, taking out a piece of musk deer parchment and quickly began to draw.
Tree Spirit also heard Angel’s voice, but this time it did not dance along with his words, just listening calmly without any response… Runes were not its area of expertise, and pondering blindly would be a waste of time.
Angel seriously speculated, while Tree Spirit leaned against the wall, placing its thoughts into the grand hall inside the Eternal Tree. After all, it seemed Angel would not finish anytime soon, so it might as well check on what Rhine was doing——
In the Tree Spirit Hall filled with the aura of life, Rhine was rapidly discussing future resolutions with a group of people assembled in the hall.
The prophecy of the Star Observing Day had already been spoken by Rhine. What they were discussing now was what Rhine deemed most important about the Star Observing Day: the Peach Heart Theater.
Rhine placed such importance on it naturally because the first ticket booth of the Peach Heart Theater appeared in the Eternal Night Kingdom, very, very close to the Savage Grottoes.
“According to historical records, the Peach Heart Theater won’t be too far from where the first ticket booth appeared. Perhaps, the theater itself might appear in the Eternal Night Kingdom, or nearby, so, for us, this is an opportunity.”
Wallace: “Does Lord Rhine mean…”
“To seize the narrative.” Although the Savage Grottoes themselves were in the Southern Region and already had significant influence, this time the Peach Heart Theater attracted more than just people from the Southern Region, and Rhine wanted to enhance the overall influence of the Savage Grottoes in the Wizarding World.
And with this influence, the room for maneuvering within it becomes much greater.
For example, when the powerful wizards from the four corners of the Wizarding World come to the Southern Region, they may bring with them local specialty magical materials. If they can seize the discourse power and prove their authority, they can initiate small-scale trade assemblies and become the decision-makers of these gatherings.
The interests involved here are much more significant.
Of course, what Rhine values most is the reputation of the Savage Grottoes itself. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to both boost one’s presence and acquire a wealth of exotic materials.
After a moment of silence, others understood Rhine’s intention.
Wallace nodded repeatedly: “Indeed, it’s an opportunity. If managed properly, Peach Heart Theater could potentially become a grand assembly of the Wizarding World from all corners!”
Although Peach Heart Theater might not stay in the Southern Region for long, and this so-called “grand assembly” might just be a fleeting moment, it doesn’t hinder its significance. Once the discourse power is truly seized, its influence will extend beyond just one or two instances.
“I support Lord Rhine’s view,” Wallace paused and muttered softly, “Perhaps, this could also enhance the reputation of White Seagull Chronicle Academy.”
White Seagull Chronicle Academy is a faction Wallace established in the Savage Grottoes.
Others also expressed their agreement, as this was indeed a clear opportunity for benefit. However, some were apprehensive because the wizards from all corners coming to Peach Heart Theater need to traverse vast spatial and temporal distances to reach the Southern Region in a short time, which is not an easy feat.
While there are certain shortcuts available, these passages to the Southern Region also require significant strength to traverse, such as the Phase Gateways of the Abyss…
This means that the external wizards coming to Peach Heart Theater are exceptionally powerful, and with great power comes unpredictable risks.
In response, Rhine also considered: “No matter how powerful, it’s difficult to reach the legendary realm. As long as one isn’t legendary, with the rooted presence of Savage Grottoes, it’s still possible to handle that unknown risk.”
Indeed, there are definitely risks. But no matter what, it’s unlikely that the other party would come to the Southern Region with a large entourage. The Savage Grottoes are entrenched in the Southern Region, and it would be difficult for one or two individuals to shake its foundation.
After this statement, no one else objected.
Next, the direction of the meeting mainly revolved around how to devise means to seize the discourse. After everyone’s discussion, a few steps were essentially confirmed.
The first step is to eliminate danger. After all, the Eternal Night Kingdom is also not safe right now, so the first step is to establish a safe haven within the Eternal Night Kingdom. This step is also key, as currently, probably only the Savage Grottoes can quickly set up a safe zone in the Eternal Night Kingdom in a short time. Other wizard organizations are either too far or too weak.
It’s because they can arrange safe zones that they have the future they envision.
The second step is to establish the rules for the safe haven and to layout a trade market or, to say, a wizard market led by the Savage Grottoes.
The third step is to Seize the Right to Speak.
While there are only three steps, in reality, many aspects are simplified, and it’s not that easy to implement. But at least the banner has been raised, and the future is hopeful.
Next, it’s about the personnel arrangements for each step.
Tree Spirit, upon hearing this, didn’t continue to listen. For one, this content was already not too important; and secondly, Angel had been calculating for a long time and finally stopped, seemingly having reached a conclusion.
