Angel went to the ruins? And he stayed there for several days?! Although to an outsider these words might seem unremarkable, Maya knew very well just how dangerous the ruins were!
The ruins have engulfed a large number of wizards, and until now, no one had returned from within. Angel actually went in and came back safely!
What exactly happened in there? Why does it feel like so many significant changes have occurred in just a few days? And why did Angel go to the ruins?
Doubts filled Maya’s mind, but she did not immediately ask about these questions. She knew very well that if Angel wanted to talk about it, he would tell her without her asking; if he didn’t want to talk about it, he must have his reasons.
"How many more days until the end of the exchange meeting?" Angel asked.
Maya: "The Stargazing Day exchange is nearing its end, and no major prophecies have appeared in recent days. Many wizards have already left, and I can leave at any time."
"Alright, concerning the situation at the ruins, I’ll explain it to you in detail when you return," Angel said.
Maya nodded. Although she was extremely curious, as a seasoned wizard, she had an excellent control over her emotions.
After a pause, Maya asked, "Should I inform Tuvalule about this?"
Tuvalule is a Prophet Wizard of the Song of the Deep Sea, and since many wizards from the Song of the Deep Sea have fallen in the ruins, they will certainly not give up exploring it.
Angel went to the ruins and returned smoothly, meaning he must have gathered a lot of information from the ruins.
Tuvalule is currently at the Crown Star Church. Maya’s dilemma is whether to share this information with him.
Angel pondered for a moment and then had a quiet discussion with Rhein.
Inside the ruins, the situation was complex, involving a grand plan of the Nightmare Realm, and Angel was also contemplating whether to speak of it.
Rhein pondered for a moment: "It’s okay to tell him, but you don’t need to disclose the details of your experiences. I trust you’ll handle discretion better than I."
Angel nodded, knowing that anything related to "Shava" he certainly couldn’t mention. He also needed to hide his harmonious encounters with creatures of the Nightmare Realm, but he could disclose information about the situation inside and the identity and strength of the Nightmare Realm creatures.
Thinking of this, Angel nodded to Maya: "You can."
Maya also heard the dialogue between Angel and Rhein, and she breathed a little sigh of relief. During the Stargazing Day, she didn’t receive any prophecies about the ruins; Tuvalule, on the other hand, did see some things and shared them with Maya, in exchange for shared information.
After all, the ruins beneath the Star Pond had devoured not only wizards of the Song of the Deep Sea but also many from the Barbarian Cave. Their location was within the Barbarian Cave. To understand the situation and rescue the fallen wizards, cooperation between the two factions was best.
If Maya hadn’t known today’s information, that would be one thing. But knowing it and keeping it hidden, if the fate-experienced Tuvalule sensed it, she’d feel embarrassed.
Since it could be disclosed, Maya didn’t need to go against her conscience, and naturally, she felt relieved.
At this moment, Rhein added, "Although you can talk, you must first tell Tuvalule that to know the detailed information, the Sea God should contact me."
The consequences of Xinai’s arrival are still unknown. But this matter is absolutely vital, and a contact must happen at the highest level.
The internal situation of the Song of the Deep Sea is too complex, with too many faction struggles and connections to external Alien Gods. The only one Rhein trusts is Florenza.
Though Rhein dislikes Florenza’s personality, Florenza himself and the faction he represents in the Song of the Deep Sea, at least, haven’t become traitors to the Southern Domain Wizard World.
After hearing this, Maya nodded: "I’ll inform Tuvalule."
Maya appeared calm on the outside, but internally, she was tumultuous. The fact that not even Tuvalule could be told and that communication at the highest level was required showed that the situation within the ruins was absolutely extraordinary. The information Angel brought out was likely to become a massive shock.
After finishing the discussion about the ruins, Rhein looked at Maya on the light screen: "Have any other prophecies emerged in recent days?"
Maya nodded: "There are some, but after analysis, none are too important."
Although saying so, Maya still went over all these prophecies. As she mentioned, these prophecies didn’t have much impact on a behemoth like the Barbarian Cave, with only two prophecies possibly having limited effects on the Barbarian Cave.
One is about a potential royal power struggle within the Ailie Duchy, which might even lead to a large-scale military coup. The Ailie Duchy is near the Pamiji Plateau, and internal war there might flood the Pamiji Plateau with refugees.
In the past, that might have been fine, but currently, the Pamiji Plateau is within the range of the living line. If the refugees get infected and this spreads to surrounding countries, it might lead to mass casualties.
Such mass casualties, even in the Wizarding Realm, would be something they’d strive to avoid.
But to solve it, one would inevitably have to get involved in the royal power struggle, something wizards are usually unwilling to meddle in.
Thus, Rhein was a bit hesitant after hearing this.
However, Maya’s next words dispelled his doubts: "The reason for the power struggle in the Ailie Duchy is not human error."
In the prophecy, the young and strong new King of the Ailie Duchy, with an iron hand, went on a northern tour for the sake of the people and encountered a Transcendent incident in Shepherd Country. He met a group of resurrected undead and had part of his soul devoured, leading to his muddled awareness and inability to continue ruling.
Since he had no heirs, many princes coveted the throne, resulting in royal strife.
After hearing this, Rhein was no longer hesitant. Since it’s not human error but the work of undead, there’s no need to worry. They could simply eliminate these undead in advance, preventing any future troubles.
Of course, Rhein needn’t act personally; he could simply post a mission to eliminate the resurrected undead in the Task Hall, and someone would surely take it.
Besides this prophecy, there is another prophecy that might affect the Barbarian Cave.
This prophecy concerns the Gumman Kingdom.
