“Is there no other way?” asked the young man in a yellow robe from Western Demos, his face full of disbelief: “There must be a method to avoid this, right?”
In fact, this was the answer that everyone present wanted to know. Facing the terrifying creatures from the Eternal Night Kingdom, how should they respond?
La Pluie shook his head: “At least in the future scenes I’ve seen, I haven’t found a method to deal with them. However, it seems that these creatures must rely on the aura from the dome to exert their maximum strength. Once they exceed a certain range, their power will rapidly decline. Therefore, if we can find a way to deal with the dome, we might have a chance to eradicate them from the root.”
That was easier said than done. According to past records, when Sleepless City fell, nearly all major wizard organizations in the Southern Region sent people to investigate. However, no one was able to find a way to counter the dome. Even the top forces of the large wizard organizations combined were powerless against it. Could Western Demos really find the dome’s weakness and ultimately breach it on their own?
The young man in the yellow robe understood that it was very difficult.
Was migration really the best strategy? While migration could ensure the safety of the people, it would not only mean the loss of many years of accumulated assets but also a decrease in influence in the surrounding area and a reduction in their voice.
If possible, they preferred not to migrate.
But what other options were there? Western Demos bordered the Eternal Night Kingdom, and they had been closely monitoring its changes for a long time. They knew all too well that nearly everyone who fell under the dome ultimately died.
The young man in the yellow robe suddenly paused, realizing that “nearly” didn’t mean “all.” He remembered…
“Right, didn’t Lord Phantom Master come from the dome?” the young man in the yellow robe turned to Maya, asking eagerly, “Lord Phantom Master should know the dome best, right? Does he know how to deal with it?”
Maya’s expression was troubled, not so much because of the young man’s question, but because when La Pluie mentioned the terrifying creatures continuing to expand, it posed a significant threat to the Savage Grottoes, which bordered the Eternal Night Kingdom. If Western Demos needed to relocate, what about the Savage Grottoes?
Responding to the inquiry, Maya suppressed her irritation and replied, “Hasn’t this been explained already? Lord Phantom Master escaped from the fallen Sleepless City by chance, and because the dome was not fully perfected when the city fell. That’s how he had the opportunity to escape.”
“As for how to deal with the dome? If Lord Phantom Master really knew, would he let the Eternal Night Kingdom become what it is now? You should know that the Savage Grottoes are much closer to the nearest dome than your Western Demos.”
Hearing this, the young man’s hopeful expression turned confused again. Maya was right; the threat to the Savage Grottoes was even more significant than to the Fertile Kingdom.
Moreover, the scale of the Savage Grottoes was not something Western Demos could compare with. If Lord Phantom Master really had a way to deal with the dome, they would have done it already, rather than letting such a dangerous thing remain at their side.
But if even the Savage Grottoes had no solution, did Western Demos really have no choice but to resign themselves to fate?
As the young man felt lost, Witch Maya turned to La Pluie. Her lips moved slightly, wanting to say something. However, La Pluie spoke before she could: “I know what you want to ask.”
Maya looked at La Pluie.
La Pluie said, “In the future I saw, I didn’t see what happens to the Savage Grottoes. However, I didn’t see those terrifying creatures heading in large numbers toward the Paramjit Plateau. Their target seems to be more the Fertile Kingdom and Guman Kingdom.”
This meant that, at least from what La Pluie saw, the situation for the Savage Grottoes wasn’t the most dire yet.
“Perhaps it’s because the Savage Grottoes are situated on the plateau, there aren’t many people there, so those creatures didn’t pay much attention,” La Pluie stated.
While this explanation seems plausible, many logical inconsistencies remain. For instance, Witch Maya knew that in the bizarre ruin suppressed by Rhine, numerous terrifying creatures gathered. And there, no living person was present.
Maya said nothing more; since La Pluie was also unaware, she could only consult with Lord Rhine later to assess the situation.
“Lord of Crown Star, I have a question,” Tuvalu of the Song of the Deep Sea stood up and said.
“Please, ask,” La Pluie didn’t refuse, knowing that Tuvalu, like Maya, was an excellent prophecy wizard, but while Maya was more proficient in stellar phenomena, Tuvalu specialized in destiny analysis.
“According to Totoro’s prophecy, the first ticket booth of the Peach Heart Theater appeared in the Eternal Night Kingdom. Presumably, the Peach Heart Theater should be near the Eternal Night Kingdom. Since the Eternal Night Kingdom is so perilous now, will we be able to visit it when the Peach Heart Theater arrives?”
Tuvalu voiced the question on everyone’s mind; they all wanted to know the answer. After all, the Peach Heart Theater was a rare opportunity.
“The danger of the Eternal Night Kingdom won’t diminish because of Sleepless City being there, but it probably won’t increase either,” La Pluie responded.
Although La Pluie didn’t directly answer Tuvalu’s question, the others roughly understood the situation. The current state of the Eternal Night Kingdom is such that members of various wizard organizations are roaming around, partly to eliminate hidden dangers and partly to find solutions to the changes in the Eternal Night Kingdom.
Among them, many are apprentices who have taken on tasks from different wizard organizations. They are scattered throughout the Eternal Night Kingdom, warning outsiders not to step foot inside.
So, if the danger level in the Eternal Night Kingdom can be maintained as it is, then it’s still within their acceptable range.
After Tuvalu sat down, seeing no further questions from the audience, La Pluie began to speak of the second prophecy he had witnessed.
However, compared to the straightforwardness of his first prophecy, La Pluie spoke of the second prophecy somewhat vaguely.
“In the sea of stars, I sense a shining hope and a turning point for the future of the Southern Region.”
What exactly is shining, what the hope is, and what the turning point for the Southern Region might be, La Pluie did not specify. This was not due to his unwillingness to share but rather his lack of concrete perception.
La Pluie remembered finding himself within a sea of stars, which appeared just like a regular night sky.
However, La Pluie noticed that some stars were flickering incessantly. As he gazed at the twinkling stars and fell into deep thought, a vague premonition slowly rose from his heart.
This peculiar premonition was what La Pluie referred to in his statement.
Regarding this statement, La Pluie hadn’t deciphered it himself. Yet, after repeatedly encountering grim prophecies devoid of hope during Star Observing Days, he decided to share it nonetheless, at least to prevent everyone from despairing about the future.
“Although I haven’t deciphered it, I have a feeling it might be related to the Magnum Opus that is about to emerge, which I mentioned during the previous Star Observing Day.”
