"Why, do you have doubts about my choice?" Seeing Angel sometimes looking grave and sometimes frowning, Caroline couldn’t help but ask.
Angel shook his head: "No, I am just pondering Ms. Caroline’s question."
Caroline: "Do you have an answer then?"
"Unfortunately, not yet. Whether or not to let Earl Mi awaken for the second time, I need to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. However, I haven’t fully grasped the complications involved."
Upon hearing Angel’s sincere response, Caroline couldn’t help but laugh: "I was merely posing the question for you to think about ahead of time, not expecting you to seriously consider it."
In Caroline’s view, Angel won’t be able to make Earl Mi awaken the second time in a short period, so there’s no need to be overly concerned.
Just keep these considerations in mind to avoid being caught off guard if such a day actually comes, leading to regret over the choice made.
Angel chuckled without further explanation and instead raised another issue: "If Earl Mi has the opportunity for a second awakening now, how much would his strength increase?"
"You not only care about it, but you also have quite a rosy imagination." Caroline first teased, but she still provided Angel with an answer: "It won’t increase much."
"Transcendence, for awakened Demon People, is a kind of metamorphosis. The metamorphosis itself doesn’t increase their strength significantly; rather, it extends their future potential."
If you compare it to a bucket, metamorphosis is like the total water quantity in the bucket remains unchanged, but the capacity of the bucket increases. How far they can reach in the future depends on the Liberator themselves.
"Although overall strength won’t increase dramatically, the second awakening will still bring some changes in abilities, such as controlling some awakened Demon People, or acquiring some special talents, etc."
"However, if Earl Mi truly successfully transcends now, it would also pose a threat to you."
"I don’t know how you control him. If he successfully transcends and breaks free from your control, have you considered the consequences?"
"Moreover, the value of a Liberator is completely different from that of an awakened Demon People. There has long been speculation in the Origin World that Liberators are inextricably linked with the hidden secrets of the Panic Realm, thus many Wizards are keen to capture Liberators for research."
"But Liberators won’t leave the Panic Realm easily, and in the Panic Realm, it’s very challenging for Wizards to deal with Liberators."
"Therefore, if Earl Mi truly becomes a Liberator and is discovered by someone with intentions, it could endanger your life. So, there’s no need to consider Earl Mi’s second awakening now; wait until your strength is enough to venture alone in the Panic Realm, then it’s not too late to consider."
Angel nodded: "I understand."
He could sense that Caroline was genuinely giving him advice, so even if he had other thoughts in mind, he wouldn’t disregard Caroline’s caution.
...
Amid Angel and Caroline’s conversation, a rustling sound suddenly came from the wall beside them.
Caroline turned her head in confusion and immediately noticed a dog hole appearing in the wall.
Caroline’s eyes lit up: "Is it Little Treasures? Little Treasures, come out quickly, I haven’t seen you for a long time, let me hug you."
After a period of silence, a slightly awkward voice emerged from the dog hole: "Lady Caroline, it is Geng... it’s Big Treasures."
"Oh, it’s Big Treasures." Caroline sighed with a face of disappointment: "Where’s Little Treasures, where did he go?"
Genggui: "Little Treasures is with mother."
Caroline furrowed her brows, not particularly fond of You Nu, because she also knew that You Nu is truly obedient not to the Wise Sovereign but rather to Adanis.
However, although Caroline didn’t like You Nu, she wouldn’t express it in front of her children: "Then where’s Two Treasures?"
"Two Treasures... said just now he’d come along with me, but suddenly said he’s not coming anymore." Genggui murmured.
"Suddenly not coming?" Caroline squinted, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Caroline asked: "Why are you here, is there something for the Wise Sovereign?"
Big Treasures wasn’t sure whether to answer, remaining silent for a while.
At this moment, the Wise Sovereign helped out: "He indeed has something for me and Angel."
"What is it?" Caroline turned to look at the Wise Sovereign.
Wise Sovereign: "It’s nothing major, it’s just that Angel wants to borrow my Sweet Dream for some research, needing Big Treasures to guide him to the Mirror Domain."
"Research on Sweet Dream..." Caroline nodded in understanding. She wasn’t surprised by this answer after knowing that Angel had touched on mystical levels and was an Alchemist.
Wise Sovereign: "Do you want to join?"
Caroline shook her head: "While alive, I was somewhat interested in listening about Alchemy, but now, ha, no interest."
After speaking, Caroline stood up, moved to the side, and said to the Wise Sovereign: "By the way, you can sense Two Treasures through the Magical Energy Array, right? Tell me, where is Two Treasures now, I’ll go to find him. Haven’t seen him in a long time, I still miss that little, cute one."
While talking, Caroline paced back and forth.
Initially, Angel had no idea what Caroline was doing until a pitiable voice came from behind Caroline, revealing her intention.
"Lady Caroline, you’re blocking me." Genggui said, aggrieved.
Caroline snorted coldly: "Shut your mouth! I’ve blocked you, meaning you shouldn’t talk."
Genggui: "But, but... Two Treasures said he’s going into seclusion, won’t be back for a while..."
Caroline turned her head, sternly yelling: "I told you to shut up, didn’t you understand?"
Genggui flinched, immediately silencing.
Caroline looked again at the Wise Sovereign: "Where’s Two Treasures?"
Wise Sovereign hesitated for a moment, still caught in Caroline’s threatening gaze before saying: "It’s now at the Gemini Tower in the east outside square of the Hanging Jail Stairway."
Caroline: "Specific location."
Wise Sovereign: "On the top floor Bell Tower, behind the third clock face from left to right."
