Translator: SumTLMan

As the two lords Rhine and Rosen of Sky Mechanical City discussed countermeasures for the Bud issue, at the same time, in the Crown Star Church, the Bud was being discussed as well.

However, unlike the open discussions Rhine was having, the meeting didn’t reveal much information.

In the vast and quiet Star Observing Hall, with a vortex mask covering his face revealing only his left eye, “The Twisted Whisperer” Soledar casually said, “I’ll take the initiative to speak today. However, what I’m about to say might not be as shocking as what Totoro said yesterday…”

As Soledar spoke, his gaze surveyed the audience. He noticed almost everyone’s eyes were on Totoro, evidently, after a night of fermentation, the matter of the Peach Heart Theater had spread completely, and they now understood the significance of the Peach Heart Theater. This made them even more astonished by Totoro, who had made this prophecy.

However, compared to everyone’s surprise, Totoro seemed completely isolated in another world. He appeared not to feel the intense gazes of others at all, continuing to sit quietly on the ground, his eyes downcast in silent contemplation, immersed in his own thoughts.

Such calm and composed demeanor made Soledar nod inwardly.

If Totoro truly belonged to that tribe, under the favor of the World Will, still not arrogant or impatient, maintaining such a demeanor is indeed not easy. Soledar was well aware that one of the reasons for the complete fall of that once proud tribe was not just their talents but also their arrogant nature due to their unique honors.

Totoro’s stable and composed nature was something Soledar admired. He believed that if Totoro continued to develop steadily, even if he had never entered the Hall of Time, it wouldn’t take long for him to be qualified to compete for a position as an Observer.

Soledar, despite all sorts of admiration in his heart, showed none of it on his face. Instead, he merely glanced at Totoro from the corner of his eye and then continued, “The matter I’m about to discuss today is somewhat difficult to classify as significant or trivial, so you might as well treat it as a story.”

“What I’m discussing concerns the attack on Rosen, the lord of Sky Mechanical City.”

Soledar attributed the mastermind behind the attack on Lord Rosen to a very extreme and secretive cult.

This cult is naturally referred to as the Bud.

However, Soledar didn’t reveal the name of the Bud, nor did he share any information about them with the audience. Instead, he said, “I haven’t been able to determine where this cult originates from, but I vaguely feel that they are shrouded in endless darkness. Their goal might be to overthrow the entire Southern Region Wzarding World. This is what truly terrifies me. Therefore, if any of you encounter such secretive cults in the future, do your best to eradicate them to prevent future troubles. This is also for the future of the Southern Region.”

After finishing his speech, Soledar didn’t concern himself with what the others thought. He nodded to the audience and then returned to his Observer’s position.

The other Observers didn’t comment on Soledar’s statement either, as letting him briefly disclose information about the Bud was a collective decision they made.

Originally, they hadn’t planned to reveal anything about the Bud, considering its significance. Some smaller-scale wizards might become rebellious for various reasons and end up assisting the Bud.

The Observers thought it best to only secretly inform the leaders of major wizard organizations. However, at the insistence of the lord of Sky Mechanical City, Rosen, they were compelled to divulge some information.

The strong insistence of Lord Rosen wasn’t actually about spreading the news of the Bud far and wide but to reassure the people of Sky Mechanical City.

The Arrow of the Vanquished resonated grandly, shaking the citizens of Sky Mechanical City. Although Rosen emerged unscathed and appeared normal, the residual impact of the arrow hadn’t completely dissipated. To reassure the citizens, Rosen had previously promised to seek a prophecy wizard from the Crown Star Church to investigate the origin of “that arrow.”

Thus, Soledar had this discussion today. It was also a response to the promise Rosen made to the citizens.

Soledar, as the first to speak, addressed something quite significant. However, only Maya and Totoro understood the importance of the Bud’s implication among those present. The rest took it as just a “Story” with little reaction.

Had the speaker been less observant, there would have been even less feedback.

Perhaps seeing Soledar manage to tell such an insignificantly perceived story, several other prophecy wizards then spoke up.

The fragments these wizards shared were truly insignificant.

Not only were they insignificant, but they also expected others to help analyze them to find any meaningful insights.

The “others” they referred to were not the prophecy wizards in the audience but the Observers on stage.

However, each Observer was utterly indifferent, showing no interest in engaging, except for La Pluie, who smilingly pointed out some potentially “meaningful” highlights, giving face to the wizards.

Even so, when the sixth prophecy wizard stood up and again spoke of a future fragment lacking significant meaning, someone among the Observers finally spoke up.

Ivan, with a very stern expression, sharply criticized, “Those who can’t even discern the significance of their own visions of the future have no right to stand up and take everyone’s time. You can quietly be listeners, but in this exchange, if another such meaningless prophecy is made, be prepared to leave early.”

Everyone could sense the gravity in Ivan’s words, yet amidst such a stern and somber atmosphere, not a single Observer contested them, not even Shura, who usually loved to spar verbally with Ivan, remained silent, evidently in agreement.

With the Observers’ tacit consent, amidst this severe and austere air, the prophecy wizards who were prepared to speak but unable to judge for themselves now dared not continue; those who had no intention of speaking secretly rejoiced.

The silent prophecy wizards, though they had not seen anything in the Mystery of Starlight, were not constrained by fragments of the future, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the atmosphere in the hall.

This meeting was clearly different from the past, where Observers would finish their prophecies on the first day and essentially leave by the second. So, on the second day of the meeting, everyone would discuss some meaningless future visions, which really wasn’t much, just a way for the apprentice prophecy wizards to collect some future materials and broaden their horizons.

But this time, on the second day of the meeting, all Observers still arrived unanimously, indicating their importance to today’s meeting. Under such importance, it was not tolerable for some meaningless prophecy fragments to be recklessly dispersed.

After Ivan expressed his anger, the meeting was to continue.

The prophecy wizards who had spoken meaningless fragments sat down, realizing their place. But as soon as they did, no one took their spot, clearly, everyone was wary of provoking Ivan’s wrath again.

As the silence continued to spread, La Pluie looked towards the Observers’ seats, evidently hoping for someone among the Observers to fill the gap in prophecy.

However, before this Observer could speak, Maya, seated below, stood up first.
