The ruins were dilapidated, and only a few large candlesticks were still burning. Sparks of fire rose into the air and drifted away in the snow.
Wizards stood on the walls, leaned against the broken walls, and crouched in the dirty pits. They all remained silent in the ruins for a long time. Thinking back to the prosperity of Sky Island not long ago, and looking at the current dilapidated state of Sky Island, even the coldest of sorcerers would feel a tinge of sadness.
The wind lifted their clothes, and some snow fell on their hats.
They felt like they had been through a lot.
Someone began to hum a soul-calming song, which spread to every corner of Skysky Island along with the smoke and wind.
When the song ended, the wizards in the ruins slowly recovered from the sadness. Mister Monkey, who was standing in the center of the ruins, spoke for the first time.
"I'm very sorry." Monkey was wearing a frosty robe with crescent moons on both sides of it. His face was covered by a layer of silver mask. This mask was one with the Frost Moon Silver Crown on his head. It was complicated and gorgeous.
"This unexpected disaster was Shuangyue's mistake. When this matter is over, I will compensate you according to the terms that we signed before." Monkey looked at Sunders, who was hiding in the shadows, and then at Rein Mute. "Thank you for your help. Otherwise, Sky Island would have been destroyed."
Sunders nodded with a cold expression. Rein Mute smiled faintly. He couldn't help but look at the side of the ruins. Through the glass wall, he could vaguely see the figure of a woman.
"It's just a coincidence," Rein Mute said.
"I'll keep my promise. If I succeed, I'll send a copy of the letter to you, Mister Rein Mute." Monkey's words made Rein Mute's calm expression brighten up a little.
After the brief opening, everyone thought that Sir Monchi would lay out a plan to rebuild Sky Island, but they didn't expect that Monchi would change the topic at this time.
"I came back not only because Sennefer sent me a distress signal, but also because I received another piece of news."
A demon's descendant would come to the surface soon?
Hearing Monchi's words, all the Magi present frowned. Monkey's intention was obvious. He spent so much time in the Abyss Plane just to get information about the demon's descendant. Now that he finally got the answer, he was going to do something about it.
They knew this day would come sooner or later, but they still couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Everyone began to discuss among themselves. Monkey didn't continue. He simply waited for the noise to die down. He knew very well that even if these people had different opinions, they would still agree with him in the end.
The reason why he was able to gain the support of most of the Southern Region Sorcerer Organizations was because he had signed a Tarot Confidentiality Treaty with the most powerful people in the Sorcerer World, including Rein Mute and more than ten other major figures. If he really broke through the legendary boundary, he would record all his experience, energy changes, perception, and information during the breakthrough in his handbook and copy it for them.
The world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak.......
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the clamor to die down. Everyone's eyes once again gathered on Meng Qi.
"Since we've already signed a treaty, we'll abide by it. However, hunting down a descendant of a demon god is a heaven-defying task. Even if we succeed, the aftermath will be unending. It could be a great disaster for the wizarding world. Sir Monkey, or should I say the Moonfrost Union, do you have any ideas on how to deal with this? " The one who spoke was a middle-aged wizard with a hooked nose. His eyes were gloomy, and the cross on his wizard robe showed his identity. He was a wandering wizard.
Wandering wizards weren't bound by organizations and were very free. However, without the protection of organizations, once the demon's shadow fell on the south, wandering wizards would be in more danger than other wizards.
The wandering Sorcerer asked this question for his own safety, but the other Sorcerers present agreed with him in their hearts. They might have the protection of Sorcerer organizations, and their lives could be guaranteed. However, the southern region was their home after all. Most of the time, they didn't only care about immediate safety. As the saying went, a slight movement in one part would affect the entire situation. Even if they could safely tide over the Demon God Calamity, they would be greatly implicated in the aftermath.
It was like a food chain. If one of the chains went wrong, the whole chain would be affected. For example, market prices, climate, and taxes could all affect fluctuations, let alone a great calamity.
Monchi calmly replied to the wandering adept's question, "I have already received a message from Lupanye. The shadow of the demon god may be hanging high in the sky, but ever since the Rising Sun Demon God wreaked havoc in the Southern Region ten thousand years ago, the Will of the World has placed certain restrictions on the power of these foreign invaders. Even if the Rising Sun Demon God were to descend upon the Southern Region, it would not be so easy to overturn the continent and turn the mountains into rivers. Moreover, Lupanye also said that the demon's calamity may not truly descend on the south. "
Monchi's last sentence stunned all the Magi present. How could hunting a descendant of a demon god not infuriate a demon god? However, looking at Monchi's posture, it didn't seem like he was lying.
Moreover, Lupanye was the 'Immortal Starcrest', the true leader of the Starcrest Church.
He couldn't be wrong, could he?
Would the demon's calamity really not descend?
Monkey narrowed his eyes. Lupanye did say that the demon's descendant might not descend on the south, but that didn't mean everything would be fine. At least, Lupanye's worries were not lessened at all. In fact, he was even more worried than Monkey thought. However, Monkey couldn't say it out loud right now.
After all, his goal was to become a legend. He would put everything else aside for now.
However, Monkey didn't completely disregard the south. He still had some backup plans, such as the Mystery item from Song of the Deep.
Sennefer also stepped up and explained in detail that if the demon's descendant really did descend on the south, the Moonfrost Union would intervene and compensate them. Her words calmed the wizards down a little.
Monkey then began to assign tasks. The reconstruction of Sky Island was temporarily put on hold. The most important task at the moment was the hunting plan.
Monkey had been planning in the Abyss for many years. The original plan was almost perfect. Now, he only needed to make the final adjustments based on where the demon's descendant would come from.
"Mister Monkey, after all this talk, we still don't know where the demon's descendant will come from. Is it the Machine Gate or the Cave of Evil? "
This question was also what everyone was concerned about. As soon as he asked this question, everyone's gaze once again gathered on Meng Qi.
Meng Qi said softly, "Neither, it's the Evil Demon Citadel."
"Rasudran."
…
In the shadows of the ruins, Sunders listened to Monkey's plan with an expressionless face.
Sunders didn't say anything during the discussion. He knew he couldn't change anything by himself. He simply waited for the meeting to end.
Monkey's plan was tempting, but Sunders knew that Angor's dream wasteland had more potential than that, and he could see it with his own eyes. As for Monkey, he didn't even know if he could break through in the end.
Monkey only wanted to use the descendant's bloodline because there was a similar case recorded in a scroll left behind by an ancient wizard. However, it was hard to say whether the data recorded in the scroll was outdated or not.
At least, Sunders wasn't interested in using such a method for now.
As soon as the meeting was over, Sunders quickly approached Rein Mute. However, Rein Mute was currently looking at Samantha, who was slowly walking toward them from the blizzard.
In Rein's eyes, Samantha was as beautiful as a frosty princess.
But in Sunders' eyes, Samantha was nothing more than a broken piece of glass. A broken piece of glass.
When Samantha got closer, she glanced at Rein Mute with a sneer on her face. She wanted to say something else, but when she saw Sunders standing beside her, she swallowed her words. She humphed and turned to Monkey.
Rein sighed helplessly.
After complaining for a while, Rhine finally turned around and said, "You see, Samantha actually wanted to scold me just now, but she held back, which means that she wants to maintain the image of a lady in front of you. Don't you want to consider Samantha? Maybe she'll come back to Brute Cavern as soon as you two get married. "
"No," Sunders replied coldly and decisively. Rein was trying to make things easier for Sunders.
"So, what should we do about Angor's condition?" Sunders cut to the chase.
Rein's expression turned serious when he heard Angor's name. After all, Sunders was the one who invited Angor into the core circle, and he valued Angor's potential.
Sunders explained how he sensed the blood essence in the third level of Abyss Plane. "If Angor is still safe, he's probably not in Ice Gorge right now. But even if we know that he's in the third level of the abyss, we still don't know where exactly he is.
He couldn't decide whether to go to Iceberg Gorge or to look for Angor on Level 3.
Rein considered for a moment. "It's hard to say. But there's still a way."
A moment later, Rein led Sunders to a corner of Sky Island.
It used to be a spacious area next to the Inverted Waterfall. Not long ago, this place was a popular waterfall viewing spot. But now, a large number of tombstones were erected here.
Most of the people who had died in the chaos of the Evil Gods were buried here.
In this newly built cemetery, there was an old man with a walking stick. He was facing the wind and snow as he slowly walked between the tombs …
