Seeing such a situation, Elder Zumar knew that there was no hope of completing this matter with his own power alone. Hence, while supporting the Domain World and suppressing the power of the mysterious existence below Cage Island, he called Cantory over.
"Elder Zumar!" Cantory was just like an obedient child in front of Elder Zumar, and he didn't reveal any of his arrogance at all.
"Cantory, you've always been in charge of the matters here in the Breezy Plains, and you've been in contact with the various forces of the Breezy Plains. I'll send you out now, and you'll immediately contact those forces of the Breezy Plains and find a way to get them involved in this matter." Elder Zumar quickly finished speaking, and before Cantory could respond, he waved his hand and sent Cantory out of the Domain World.
After hearing Elder Zumar's words, Cantory understood that he was asking him to seek help from the forces of the Breezy Plains. However, given Cantory's arrogant personality, it was simply torture for him to seek help from others, not to mention from the forces of the Breezy Plains that he had always looked down on.
However, before Cantory could say anything, he felt an irresistible force surging over, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say. By the time he saw his surroundings clearly, he realized that he was in a place that he had passed by on his way to Cage Island. Now, even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow Elder Zumar's instructions.
"Which force are you from? Take me to see your leader!" Cantory was rather good at saving himself the trouble, and simply grabbed a scout from nearby. Under the scout's guidance, he met the leader of the force that the scout belonged to. It was none other than Sandev, the patriarch of the Caradie Family.
Sandev was previously frightened by the Gilded Kingdom's team, and thought that they wanted to take revenge on his family. Although he later found out that wasn't the case, his heart had already changed. After returning from the Mithril Alliance, he had been thinking about how to get in touch with the Gilded Kingdom and cozy up to them.
Cantory's arrival was like a gift to Sandev as it was a great opportunity for him to cozy up to the Gilded Kingdom.
In order to cozy up to the Gilded Kingdom, Sandev of the Cartia Family naturally did not dare to slack off when it came to Cantory's matters. He worked even harder than when he was handling his own matters. While treating Cantory like the most distinguished guest, he sent a large number of people to contact the various forces of the Breezy Plains.
In fact, ever since the news that Cantory had been sent out by Elder Zumar was relayed to the various forces by the scouts, the leaders of the forces had already guessed that the Gilded Kingdom might not be able to hold on much longer. After all, they had all seen the state of the battle on Cage Island, and it couldn't be hidden at all. Anyone with a little common sense would know that the Gilded Kingdom was already in a difficult position.
Seeing that the people of the Gilded Kingdom were going to be in trouble, the leaders of the forces of the Breezy Plains were overjoyed. How could they easily get involved in such a trivial matter that was obviously not beneficial to them? They were not fools. They knew how powerful the Gilded Kingdom's team was, and they even had a real Sanctuary powerhouse. Yet, they still ended up in such a pathetic state. Even if there were really any treasures on Cage Island, they probably wouldn't be able to enjoy them.
However, they did not want to get into a deadlock with the Gilded Kingdom, as that would not be in line with their interests. Hence, after receiving the news, they also sent some representatives to the Cartia Family. Of course, the representatives of the various forces had already been warned when they set off, and they were just going there to go through the formalities. Perhaps there was another mission, and that was to see how the arrogant people of the Gilded Kingdom would lower their arrogant heads.
Cantory, whose face was sullen, looked at the representatives of the various forces below, wishing that he could tear them all into pieces. This group of damned guys. They were all full of flattery, but when it came to serious matters, they would immediately change the topic. In the end, it was just a waste of time.
According to Cantory's usual temper, he would have already flown into a rage in the face of such a situation in the past, but now, he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart. Although he had always been condescending, he could still distinguish the priorities of the matter. Elder Zumar was still waiting for reinforcements on Cage Island, and now was not the time to complicate matters.
At the beginning of the discussion, Cantory still tried to persuade the forces of the Breezy Plains with some big ideas, but he soon came to his senses. However, he soon realized that they were in the Breezy Plains, not the Gilded Kingdom, and the people of the Breezy Plains would not fall for his tricks.
Hence, Cantory, who had recognized the reality, immediately began to tempt them with benefits again. The forces of the Breezy Plains would not do anything without benefits. As long as he gave them enough benefits, they would be willing to give up everything they could. However, this time, the representatives of the various forces of the Breezy Plains shook their heads continuously despite the greed in their eyes. No matter how Cantory increased the price, none of them nodded.
The people of the Breezy Plains were not fools. Even if the Gilded Kingdom had promised them great benefits, they would have to be alive to get them. Although they did not know the details of the situation on Cage Island, they could tell from the surface that it was definitely not simple. Even the powerful Gilded Kingdom was reduced to such a pathetic state. If they went up, they would only be cannon fodder, and the cannon fodder usually would not get anything in the end.
"Don't forget, Cage Island belongs to the Breezy Plains, not the Gilded Kingdom. If the thing inside escapes, the Breezy Plains will be the first to suffer." Seeing that the temptation had failed, Cantory added a threat, and this indeed made the expressions of the representatives of the various forces below change drastically.
During this period of time, the forces of the Breezy Plains had also searched everywhere for information about the legend of Cage Island. However, apart from the legend of the Titans imprisoning the ancient evil dragon, there was no other reliable information that seemed to be reliable. Hence, no one knew what was under Cage Island except for the people of the Gilded Kingdom.
Hearing Cantory's threat, the people of the Breezy Plains did not dare to take it lightly even though they were doubtful. Back then, the Retribution Knight Rodhart wreaked havoc in the Breezy Plains, causing a devastating disaster. Countless forces disappeared in that disaster, and those who survived also suffered huge losses.
Now, looking at the commotion that the Gilded Kingdom had caused on Cage Island, they reckoned that there had to be something impressive inside. Even if it was not as great as Rodhart's, it would probably cause a bloodbath in the Breezy Plains.
Of course, that was only one possibility. Another possibility was that the Gilded Kingdom was exaggerating, and deliberately making the matter sound so serious in order to drag the forces of the Breezy Plains into trouble. After all, even if the forces finally figured out the truth, they couldn't really pursue the matter with the Gilded Kingdom.
The news immediately made the representatives of the various forces whisper to each other, and Cantory heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that. Although the benefits that he offered were not enough to attract them, they probably wouldn't be able to refuse when it concerned their own interests.
However, just as Cantory was waiting for them to express their stance, Joseph, who represented the Mithril Alliance, suddenly said, "Envoy Cantory, I don't think we can give you an answer about this matter immediately. You should know that we have always followed the arrangements of Lord Roland, the Ashen Warlock, regarding the entire Breezy Plains. Now, President Felic of the Tower of Dusk can be said to be Lord Roland's spokesperson. Hence, we need to hear President Felic's opinion. As long as you can convince President Felic, we won't have any objections. "
Joseph did not want to get into a deadlock with the Gilded Kingdom, nor did he want to contribute to this matter. Hence, he thought of pushing the blame to the Tower of Dusk. Of course, he was too embarrassed to tell Cantory that the forces that he and the others had submitted to the Tower of Dusk back then, so he added the identity of the spokesperson of the Ashen Warlock to the Tower of Dusk.
In Joseph's opinion, the Gilded Kingdom's entry into the Breezy Plains would undoubtedly cause great damage to the interests of the Tower of Dusk. Although the two parties had reached an agreement during the negotiations, everyone knew that there could not be two tigers on the same mountain, and there would be a battle between the two top forces sooner or later. Hence, the Tower of Dusk was probably secretly happy about the current situation of the Gilded Kingdom. How could they stand up and help the Gilded Kingdom?
They could both push the matter of the Gilded Kingdom away without falling out with the Gilded Kingdom. Such a win-win situation had always been the favorite of the forces of the Breezy Plains. Hence, after hearing Joseph's words, the representatives of the other forces immediately chimed in.
Cantory didn't think too much about it. After all, when they first came to the Breezy Plains, they had once gone to look for the Ashen Warlock, and were told by the Ashen Warlock to discuss all the issues regarding the Breezy Plains with Lin Li of the Tower of Dusk. Hence, in their opinion, it was not wrong to say that Lin Li of the Tower of Dusk was the spokesperson of the Ashen Warlock.
However, what gave Cantory a headache was that the previous negotiation had already made him realize how difficult it was to deal with Lin Li of the Tower of Dusk. Although the negotiation was finally settled, it was definitely not pleasant, be it the process or the outcome. Even now, Cantory was still brooding over it.
Initially, Cantory thought that he might not have to deal with the Tower of Dusk again in the future, and that the next time they met would be when the Gilded Kingdom was really going to rule the Breezy Plains. However, the people of the Breezy Plains now said that they had to talk to the damned Lin Li of the Tower of Dusk first. Cantory immediately felt a headache coming on.
At this moment, Cantory even regretted coming to a place like the Breezy Plains to be bullied instead of enjoying life in the Gilded Kingdom. However, it was too late for regrets now. He knew that if he couldn't even handle this matter well, his teacher would probably not forgive him, and he would lose his status, glory, wealth, and everything else that he had.
Glancing at the people seated below with resentment, Cantory knew that they had used the Tower of Dusk as a shield, and it would be useless no matter how he threatened or tempted them. He could only think of a solution through the young president of the Tower of Dusk. However, at the thought of the previous negotiation experience, he couldn't help but feel a headache. Previously, he had been extorted of all the nautical information just for the sake of entering the Breezy Plains. What kind of price would he have to pay this time!?
Honestly speaking, Cantory was already a little afraid of the young president of the Tower of Dusk. If word got out, it would probably shock a large number of people, but that was the truth. Cantory would rather stay on Cage Island than let go of his pride and ask the young president of the Tower of Dusk for help.
However, Cantory had no choice now. Not only did he have to face the damned Lin Li again, but he also had to settle this matter properly. In other words, no matter how hard Lin Li tried to make things difficult for him, or how outrageous his requests were, he had no choice but to accept it even if he wanted to slap him.
At this point, Cantory knew that there was nothing more to say to the people of the various forces. As long as he could persuade the president of the Tower of Dusk, he believed that they would no longer have an excuse to refuse. If he didn't, they probably wouldn't agree even if he put a knife to their necks.
Although he was in a dilemma, Cantory didn't dare to delay at all when he considered the urgent situation on Cage Island. He left everyone in the conference hall, and after coming out, he used the Power of Flight to fly towards the Tower of Dusk.
In the beginning, Cantory was flying at a very fast speed, but when he saw the massive Sky Castle in the sky, he subconsciously slowed down. Perhaps it was because he had been flying too fast along the way, but he had yet to think about how to face President Felic of the Tower of Dusk, and how to persuade that damned guy to help.
However, no matter how slow Cantory slowed down, the journey could not be extended. He simply watched as the Tower of Dusk gradually enlarged in his vision, and watched as the Magic City around the tower became clearer and clearer. However, his mind was extremely chaotic, and he couldn't think of anything at all.
While hesitating, Cantory arrived in front of the Tower of Dusk, and descended at the gate of the Magic City. In the past, he wouldn't have done such a thing, and would have flown straight to the Tower of Dusk. Of course, he was not doing that out of courtesy, but purely because he hated the shortness of the journey.
The Magic City of the Tower of Dusk did not have a strict inspection system. Hence, Cantory, who was wearing a magic robe, unknowingly walked to the gate of the tower.
