“Right, why was the martial law in Cha Mu Town lifted so easily?
Shouldn’t they be investigating the source of the fog?”
Captain Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and after weighing his words, said
“I can tell you, but don’t spread it around.
According to the notice, the fog has sothing to do with Drudgeon’s friend.
Drudgeon assured that the fog would not bring danger, so the city decided to temporarily lift the martial law on Cha Mu Town.”
Hearing Captain Chen’s explanation, Feng Yuan felt so understanding
“Drudgeon’s friend?
No wonder the martial law was lifted so quickly.”
“But that doesn’t make sense, we could just ask Drudgeon!
After all, he’s an ancient Divine Beast, not like the new Fire Vermilion Bird who doesn’t understand anything.”
“Granny Mianlan used up her ans to contact Drudgeon during the last incident at the Erald Ruins.
Even though Drudgeon gave Granny Mianlan another chance to contact him, it doesn’t seem appropriate to use it for this situation…”
“I rember Drudgeon is in charge of lost magics and knowledge, so given that…”
As Feng Yuan spoke, he raised his left hand, and the magic patterns covering his entire arm gradually disappeared.
That’s when Drudgeon’s voice arose by Feng Yuan’s ear
“Don’t always do things that put in a difficult position.”
“Eh?
You appeared before I even cast the spell?”
“Among the lost magics is a crisis-sensing spell.
I ca to see what dangerous thing you’re planning to do this ti.”
“Who are you talking to?”
Seeing Feng Yuan talking to himself, Teacher Yan by his side said with so surprise, and then Drudgeon’s voice arose in the minds of both
“He is speaking to .”
“You are?”
“Uh, Drudgeon, could you help us analyze the divination?”
“What divination?”
Feeling Drudgeon’s presence lurking sowhere unseen, Feng Yuan recalled the divination about the burning forest and recounted it.
After a long wait without Drudgeon’s response, just as Feng Yuan was about to speak again, Drudgeon’s voice arose by his ear
“I’m not sure about this.
Just judging from the result, it should require the simultaneous actions of Spirit Beasts with at least Legendary Level strength in both the wood and fire elents to produce such an outco, but that could only happen if both Yu Xian’er and I were absent.”
“Didn’t you go to Lorraine Tower?”
Seeing Captain Chen and Teacher Yan looking at him, Feng Yuan gestured with his hands hurriedly and said
“How would I find Lorraine Tower?
I have no way of contacting it!”
It was a long while before Drudgeon spoke again
“I cannot contact Lorraine Tower either.
It seems not to be present in this space and ti.”
Drudgeon’s voice arose by Feng Yuan’s ear
“Can’t you truly see the truth?”
Feng Yuan shook his head, and after a long silence, Drudgeon spoke again
“Since that’s the case, I will ask the Fire Vermilion Bird to stay for a while longer.
Since you have at most a month and a half left in your estimation, asking it to linger for so more days shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“Is there anything else?
If not, I’ll be going.”
Feng Yuan looked at Teacher Yan and Captain Chen, and seeing both of them shaking their heads, he said
“No, that’s all.
Thank you for your trouble.”
“Good to know.
Don’t do this again next ti.”
Feeling that Drudgeon seed to have left, Captain Chen sighed as he looked at the notes he had just taken
“Even Drudgeon can’t do anything?
Looks like we have to seek assistance from higher up.”
After saying goodbye to Teacher Yan and Captain Chen, Feng Yuan returned to his dormitory.
Back at the dorm, he saw Big Cat still fiddling with sothing on the computer.
Feng Yuan said sowhat speechlessly
“Can’t you just get your own dinner?”
“ow?”
“Really, aren’t you hungry at all?”
Feng Yuan, sowhat helplessly, opened the cabinet, took out so Spirit Beast Food, and placed it in front of Big Cat, saying,
“Hurry up and eat, we’ve passed alti already.”
After pressing Big Cat to finish dinner, Feng Yuan put down Xiao Ji.
Najia looked at Feng Yuan nervously, and Feng Yuan, puzzled, looked back at Najia.
After seeing Najia gesture for a while, Feng Yuan laughed and said,
“Relax, he’s got the protection of the White Wolf Deity, and with you here, how could anything possibly happen, hm~”
“Stop worrying about that kind of stuff~ Tomorrow is going to be another nice day~ Where should we go and have fun, hmm~”
Looking out at the clear night sky through the window, Feng Yuan lay on the bed, took out his phone, and scrolled through ssages, while Najia floated up to the top bunk to tidy her belongings.
The Dreaming Dragon Baby and Xiao Ji were arguing about sothing on the table.
The one-week holiday ended amid a slightly tense atmosphere.
On Friday night, noticing that Qi Chen hadn’t gone ho, Feng Yuan said curiously,
“Why haven’t you gone back yet?”
“There are classes tomorrow…
don’t tell you’ve forgotten.”
“Eh, I actually did forget.
I was thinking about taking Big Cat to the grand library tomorrow to look up so materials.”
Qi Chen, sowhat speechlessly, looked at Feng Yuan, who lay back on the bed, sowhat discontentedly saying,
“This ans we have to go to classes for eight consecutive days, truly annoying.”
“You never complained about being annoyed during the holidays.”
“Right, if Xiao Shuang returns that cotton garnt, could it be that the attack incident wouldn’t happen?”
“What?”
Feng Yuan sat up in surprise, looked at Qi Chen and said,
“That’s impossible.
An attack incident is a big deal; how could it possibly disappear just because of such a small detail changing?
But why did that co to mind?”
Qi Chen hesitated for a while before saying,
“Xiao Shuang has been hesitating about whether or not to return that cotton garnt because the martial law has been in force behind the scenes these past few days without easing.
And she really likes that garnt, so…”
“Even if she left Maomu City right now, it’d be pointless.
How could such a big event disappear because of a tiny detail?
However, it’s estimated that the date for the prediction probably needs to be pushed back so more, anyway.”
“What’s up?”
Seeing Qi Chen looking sowhat puzzled, Feng Yuan smiled, glanced at the clear night sky, and pointing at the short sleeves on Qi Chen, said,
“Don’t you think it’s still so hot even though it’s already November?
Under normal circumstances, how could Xiao Shuang possibly wear a cotton garnt~ If we’re lucky, it might not happen until next year.
We have plenty of ti; I don’t believe we can’t get in touch with Lorraine Tower in two months.”
“That’s true, as long as we can contact Lorraine Tower, it’ll be much easier to handle.
But can’t other Divine Beasts help get in touch with Lorraine Tower?
Like Vermilion Bird, for instance?”
“If Drudgeon can’t find Lorraine Tower, how could Vermilion Bird possibly do so?
And the whereabouts of the other Divine Beasts are still unknown.
Besides, isn’t this the kind of thing that the Divine Beast Hall and the Alliance should be concerned about?
Don’t tell you want to play so kind of savior?”
“Of course not!
I’m just worried, after all, everyone is in Maomu City…
and it’s not like we can just abandon everything and flee Maomu City.”
“You haven’t spread this news around, have you?”
Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him with a serious expression, Qi Chen shook his head and said,
“I’m not that stupid, to spread news that will obviously cause panic.”
“But is it really okay to keep hiding it like this?”
“Isn’t that sothing we shouldn’t worry about?
Besides, how can you talk about sothing that doesn’t even have a specific ti?
What if the predicted attack doesn’t happen, or it’s quietly resolved due to other reasons—how would you explain then?”
“This…”
Qi Chen sighed, sowhat helplessly lying back on the bed.
Feng Yuan looked at the ti on his phone, stood up, and said to Qi Chen,
“I’m going to look for Xiao Ji.
Let’s see what’s up with him and the Dreaming Dragon Baby; it’s so late and they’re still not back.”
“You didn’t ntion it, I didn’t even notice.
Where did they run off to?”
“They’re practicing combat.
Didn’t we discover that the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s combat abilities were a bit lacking?
Might as well have Xiao Ji take it with him for so practice while he’s training.”
“Though tonight is the first ti they’ve gone out to practice at night, I wonder if they’ve forgotten the ti.
I’ll go look for them.”
