"He still hasn’t given up on taking the Completion Manual from you," he knew you held a weapon in your hands that was fatal to him, so he planned to stabilize his injuries and condition before coming after you."
Upon hearing this, Fisher suddenly realized why Erwin was after the Ice from Mia.
Emhardt had told him before that Ice was a natural link to the Spirit Realm. The young of the Phoenix Species had acquired the ability to see fuzzy visions of the future by gazing at the Ice for long periods, and now Erwin sought to replicate this process to find a way to communicate with the Spirit Realm.
No wonder that guy knew he was on the island but didn’t co to find him; it turned out he was injured and didn’t want to provoke a conflict.
"He used the thod of flesh possession to infect the consciousness of the Nali people who ca to trade on Patulshen Island, attempting to take the Ice before anyone else, but my widely placed Cardinals noticed his presence, so I ca here to deal with him first."
"Speaking of which, I need to remind Mr. Fisher that any matters related to the Completion Manual must absolutely not be exposed to the mundane world. You had no suspicion of the trap I set, and you weren’t sensitive enough about the Snow Cloud Special Attack Team having a Cardinal — this is not up to standards..."
After listening, Fisher smiled slightly and said to the Cardinal,
"I understand... Actually, the reason you all wanted to suppress Erwin wasn’t because he disobeyed your instructions to take the two manuals from , was it? The real reason is that he exposed Anna, a creation of the Completion Manual, to the eyes of the ordinary world, risking the exposure of the Academy, right?"
In the face of Fisher’s interrogation, the Cardinal’s tone did not change at all, perfectly matching his chanical appearance as he continued,
"Actually, these two reasons are not contradictory. Suppressing Erwin was a choice we made after taking multiple factors into account. Since the previous president, the Magic Minister, disappeared, the checks between the owners of the manuals have beco increasingly weak. This was inevitable and we are powerless about it. Mr. Fisher just needs to know that we are standing by your side now."
"Although I have already dispersed Erwin’s consciousness, from my observations just now, it seems he has already obtained sothing from this Ice raw stone. He didn’t entangle with much and left this place..."
As the Cardinal spoke, his body moved towards the depths of the room, and Fisher hesitated for a second before following him inside until they reached the bedroom. There, he saw a small hidden compartnt chiseled into the floor.
Looking inside, there was a huge wooden box, and within the wooden box, a large block of stone gorgeous like jade quietly gazed back at Fisher.
The stone was misty as if covered in fog, and if one stared long enough, it always seed like the fog was slowly moving, like so kind of guidance or on. This eerie phenonon endowed the beautiful stone with a spiritual essence, which, if further sculpted, would beco a rare piece of art in the world.
This was, indeed, the unique Ice raw stone of the Phoenix Species.
"He seems to be able to find a way into the Spirit Realm through this small piece of Ice, but I don’t know what the thod is exactly; I can only feel that his consciousness has left this place and ran off sowhere."
Fisher looked down at the Ice and suddenly recalled the incident that had happened on the island. The Phoenix Scroll there seed to have so subtle connection with the Spirit Realm, the source of which was not on the island but rely manifested through the unique dium of the Ice.
And the source connecting to the Spirit Realm was...
"It’s the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree; that’s Erwin’s ultimate destination."
Fisher looked at the beautiful stone, containing endless misty vapors, with a sowhat solemn expression.
According to the information from the scroll on the island, opening the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree required the Six Clans’ Mark, and Erwin surely didn’t know the thod to enter the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree, otherwise, he wouldn’t have left without taking the Grey Bird Species’ Seal.
Underneath that beautiful stone, there were plenty of jewelry and gems, quietly lying there was a small, delicately crafted snowflake-shaped seal. Fisher gently reached out and took it from the box, seeing at the center of the snowflake-shaped seal, a tall Grey Bird kneeling on one knee, looking upwards towards the top of the seal.
At the top of the seal was the shape of a Snow Mountain peak, which according to Grey Bird Species history, seed to symbolize the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree where the Phoenix resided.
There were also many archaic characters from the Northern Realm on the seal, but Fisher’s grasp of the Northern Language was still rudintary, sufficient only for daily conversations, so he could not understand these characters; he would have to wait to ask Emhardt when he woke up.
"Frost Snow Phoenix Tree, searching for entry... please wait... I found it, but this entry mostly appears in the mythological texts of the Frost Phoenix faith area; it seems you have so understanding of Erwin’s destination?"
Fisher didn’t answer his question, naturally placing the Grey Bird Species’ Seal into his pocket and then looked at the Cardinal floating beside him,
