A while later, Angel appeared on the third floor of Rosewater Pavilion, facing the Ironclad Granny who was enjoying her tea.
"I heard from Port that you went to Princess Castle." Taking a sip of the fragrant flower tea, Ironclad Granny finally spoke: "Since you’ve come to the Wilderness of Dreams, you must have brought back little Melo?"
Angel nodded: "Except for a few Talented Ones who got injured, the others are fine."
"It’s good that nothing happened. If something had happened to little Melo, Kaylar would be very upset." Ironclad Granny said leisurely.
Angel: "On this visit to Princess Castle, I saw quite a few interesting things. Would Granny like to hear about them, or should we wait for Lord Rhein to come and listen together?"
Ironclad Granny: "He has some matters to attend to and won’t be coming for now."
"Did the ruins have an incident again?" Angel quickly asked.
"It has nothing to do with the ruins. He’s contacting some old friends and doesn’t have time to get online. Besides, he understands the situation in the Gumman Kingdom better than Port. He already has an idea about little Melo being captured."
Lord Rhein contacting some old friends and not having time to get online? Angel felt there might be something significant behind this.
The so-called old friends are probably Wizards on a similar level to Lord Rhein. If Wizards of such caliber suddenly contact each other, something is definitely happening.
However, Angel didn’t continue to inquire. Regardless of what happened, as long as it’s unrelated to the ruins, he probably couldn’t get involved, so asking would be futile.
Since Lord Rhein wouldn’t be coming, Angel didn’t hesitate further and briefly recounted his experiences.
Angel noticed that Ironclad Granny wasn’t particularly interested in the situation of Princess Castle; she didn’t ask about it even once but showed some interest in the Talented Ones.
Angel could somewhat guess that Ironclad Granny probably understood the situation in the Gumman Kingdom.
The information you receive is entirely different depending on your level. What seems important to Angel might be insignificant to Ironclad Granny and Lord Rhein.
The turbulent undercurrents in the Gumman Kingdom have surely been observed by the upper echelons of various organizations.
Thinking about this, Angel felt relieved that leaving the Gumman Kingdom’s affairs to the upper echelons was indeed a correct decision.
Since Ironclad Granny was more interested in the Talented Ones, Angel decided to emphasize that aspect in his narrative.
After speaking for a while, Angel curiously asked: "Why is Granny particularly interested in these Talented Ones?"
Ironclad Granny didn’t conceal it and said directly: "During the last Stargazing Day, one of the Prophecy visions that Maya saw included these Talented Ones."
With Ironclad Granny’s words, Angel recalled it.
The Witch Maya did indeed mention this Prophecy before, but since the Prophecy didn’t contain anything special, only the arrival of several Talented Ones was seen, Maya casually mentioned it and set it aside.
Angel didn’t inquire in detail at the time, and now that Ironclad Granny brought it up, he remembered it.
"After Maya returned, I discussed in detail the Prophecy visions she saw with her." Ironclad Granny said while manipulating the virtual Magic Power that filled the air.
In no time, several images appeared in front of Angel.
On the vast Pamiji Plateau, a Steam Airship slowly approached. On the airship’s deck, a bandaged teenager was surrounded by several others, seeming to be bullied. Shortly after, a cold young girl walked out onto the deck, causing the others to scatter. Although the girl didn’t look at the bandaged teenager, from this scene, her arrival prevented the bandaged teenager from being besieged.
"They are indeed this time’s Talented Ones." Angel confirmed, nodding. He saw all these people today. The bandaged teenager is undoubtedly Bruiser; the cold young girl is Siber. He also saw the other attackers.
As for why they attacked Bruiser, Angel speculated that it might be due to Red Sword Docks’ commentary on Bruiser?
After all, aside from little Tom and Golos, Bruiser received the most positive feedback.
Angel: "Does Granny think that Maya Witch’s Prophecy contains something special?"
Ironclad Granny shook her head: "I don’t know if there’s anything special about it, I just remembered it when you mentioned Bruiser’s features."
"Maya Witch didn’t see anything special in this Prophecy, but since she saw it on Stargazing Day, whether special or not, it’s worth paying close attention to this batch of Talented Ones. One of them might turn out to be a promising talent."
Angel understood that in Ironclad Granny’s eyes, these future key players of the Barbarian Cave are evidently more important than the messy affairs of Princess Castle, so her focus is more on them.
However, although Talented Ones are important, Angel still hoped to hear some inside information about Princess Castle from Ironclad Granny.
After all, Angel had sent Mandhela to Princess Castle, and her actions this time weren’t without gains.
