"Perhaps that fellow stumbled upon a lost legacy of so Ancient Human Empire."
Diana’s brows furrowed even more tightly, pondering, "Only in this way can we explain this guy’s sudden rise. After all, his prowess is not only astonishing in the number of Magic Cannons but also remarkable in magic dicine, equipnt, magical scrolls, and other areas, which are inexplicably abundant."
"The vice president’s words make sense."
Durant’s gaze still lingered on the spectacular siege scene at the foot of the mountain, then he was full of confusion again, "But according to the intelligence, the batch-equipped Tier 3 and even Tier 4 equipnt in the Coldfla Army uses the top forging technology of the current Human clan."
"And the Coldfla Kingdom does not have such a vast group of high-tier forgers, making it impossible to mass-produce so much expensive and rare Tier 3 and above equipnt."
Durant grew more puzzled as he spoke, frowning, "If the Holy Lion Prince discovered a lost ancient heritage, then how did he obtain so much equipnt made using modern forging technology?"
Having listened to Durant’s words, Diana was equally puzzled and at a loss on how to explain, only standing akimbo shaking her head to express her confusion.
"Haha, it seems the Holy Lion Prince of the Coldfla Kingdom is indeed shrouded in mystery."
With a burst of hearty elderly laughter, an elderly figure, hunched over, appeared behind Diana and Durant at so point, leaving the two completely unaware.
The sudden arrival turned out to be a gentle-looking elder, dressed in plain gray casual clothes with a long white beard, remarkably inconspicuous, resembling an old man you could see anywhere at a village entrance.
However, despite his unassuming appearance, the fact that even soone as strong as the half-step Tier 6 Diana did not notice him attested to his concealed abilities.
"President? What brings you here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Diana was startled, then looked at the gray-clad elder in surprise, saying, "Haven’t you been searching for clues about that major task all this ti?"
While Diana spoke, Durant imdiately saluted, showing full respect.
The identity of the gray-clad elder was thus revealed as the president of the rcenary Guild, one of the three major neutral powers among the Human clan.
It is said that this old president is extrely mysterious, with few knowing even his true na, only referred to by the codena "Grey Elder."
"Currently, the Human world is experiencing an unprecedented upheaval, so I surely cannot miss this."
Grey Elder smiled faintly, nodding to Diana, "Let us witness this historic mont together."
No sooner had Grey Elder’s words fallen, did a "hmm?" sound as he looked towards the dense forest on the opposite side of the mountain peak, smiling, "It seems not only our rcenary Guild is joining in the fun, but another group of old fellows has co as well."
"Haha, as expected of Grey Elder, your perception remains astonishingly terrifying. Even an old man like , who just refined several concealnt magic dicines, can’t escape your oversight."
Wearing a silver magic robe, an old mage gently stroked his long beard as he descended from the sky, landing in front of the three rcenary experts, smiling, "This ti, since the Holy Lion Prince is intent on contending with the Temple of Light, how can we miss such a spectacle?"
As the silver-robed old mage landed, three brown-robed old mages followed closely, all nodding to Grey Elder in greeting.
The four old mages all had an air of immortality, especially the leading silver-robed elder, who, despite being wrinkled, looked radiant and spirited.
To the surprise of those observing, the four old mages were surrounded by a strange fragrance, as if they had just erged from piles of magic dicines and heavenly treasures.
"Experts from the Alchemist Guild?"
Durant looked at the four sudden old mages, nodding thoughtfully, and pondered, "Those three brown-robed old alchemists must be the three famous Alchemist Sages of the various Human countries, but who is that leading silver-robed elder?"
"I did not expect even President Yonir, who has long retreated deep into the depths of the Alchemy Tower, to co out personally."
Grey Elder nodded to the silver-robed elder, smiling, "Speaking of which, it has been a hundred years since you and I, two old friends, last t, hasn’t it?"
The mont Grey Elder spoke, Durant’s mind cleared up; the silver-robed elder was none other than Yonir, president of the Alchemist Guild.
For the various countries of the Human clan, the na Yonir is a household one.
Back then, he was one of the Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes sent by the Alchemist Guild to rid the Human world of the Tier 6 Purple-winged Demon Dragon, which brought destruction and wailing.
"Indeed, it is true. Who would have thought that the reason for the reunion of you and , two old friends, after such a long absence, would be due to an Otherworldly Lord who recently descended?"
Yonir narrowed his elderly eyes slightly, raising his white eyebrows, "It’s really quite amusing."
"I say, old fellow, the Holy Lion Prince is not an ordinary Otherworldly Lord. Since his arrival, the entire Human world has gradually unveiled a new, unprecedented pattern, of which you must also be acutely aware, right?"
Grey Elder first glanced at the fiercely intense scene of magic cannon fire below the mountain, then turned to the silver-robed old mage and said, "Speaking of which, your Alchemist Guild has done quite a bit to help make magic dicines for that Holy Lion Prince."
"I’ve been extrely low-key about it, yet your intelligence network still leaves no stone unturned."
Hearing this, Yonir shrugged his shoulders, "I must admit, that Holy Lion Prince has indeed mobilized almost half of the Alchemist Guilds across the Human countries, and the massive amounts of heavenly treasures he provided are astonishing."
"However, it’s not accurate to use the word ’help.’ Our Alchemist Guild always maintains neutrality, rely engaging in mutually beneficial cooperation with the Holy Lion Prince."
With an air of righteousness, Yonir continued, "Speaking of which, the Holy Lion Prince recently invested a generous amount of money and mobilized rcenaries across the Human world for tasks, and you’re the one who raked in the profits, aren’t you?"
"Well, that’s not incorrect either."
Grey Elder also shrugged, noncommittal, "It seems that both of us old fellows have benefited quite a bit from the Holy Lion Prince."
After speaking, Grey Elder furrowed his brows inquiringly, "Old fellow, don’t you find it strange where on earth did he acquire such a massive amount of heavenly treasures?"
"You cunning old fellow, trying to bait into revealing information. It seems you’ve taken a keen interest in the Holy Lion Prince."
Yonir gently stroked his white beard with a smile, "However, there’s no harm in telling you. First of all, it’s certain that the heavenly treasures he provided are genuine and incredibly fresh, certainly not long-stored stock."
"Moreover, I’ve sent people to inspect several regions rich in heavenly treasures ticulously, and there were no signs of picking or gathering."
Upon saying this, Yonir’s aged eyes deepened slightly, "Hence, I’ve concluded that the heavenly treasures on his hands are not harvested or collected."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Diana initially hesitated, then understood, "President, do you an the Holy Lion Prince first decomposed the magic dicines and then provided the Alchemist Guild with heavenly treasures for re-alchemy?"
"No need to rush, young lady. Though you haven’t figured it out yet, your president likely already has so ideas, right?"
With a mysterious smile, Yonir nodded at Grey Elder, who was also addressing him.
"Then, the situation leaves only one possibility."
"Decompose!"
"Decompose?!"
Diana was initially taken aback, then joyfully realized and said, "President, are you suggesting that the Holy Lion Prince first decomposed magic dicine into heavenly treasures and then gave them to the Alchemist Guild to be re-alchemized?"
"That’s indeed the case; the situation indicates it quite clearly."
Grey Elder also shrugged, neither confirming nor denying, "It seems we two old fellows both benefited quite a bit from that Holy Lion Prince."
