Inside the project manager’s office at the Ironclad Legion headquarters, Talia was leaning sideways against the sofa, her crystal-clear little feet swaying back and forth.
She idly flipped through her tablet, and in the photo album appeared a picture of her and Caelan together.
That kid had grown this big in the blink of an eye.
It really was deeply nostalgic.
However...
Talia gently slid her finger, and the next photo was from when she was still in college.
Judging by the tiline, when Talia was attending university, Caelan should still have been an elentary school student!
And yet in the photograph, standing beside her was an already grown-up Caelan!
Talia gently caressed the tablet screen, and her gaze gradually beca deep and complicated.
In fact, it was only recently that she had restored this photo through the most advanced technology.
But even now, she still could not figure out why sothing like this had happened.
"Why? Why was my cheap little cousin able to return to a point in the past?"
"That brat clearly doesn’t have ti-type abilities."
"And besides... do ti-type awakeners really exist in this world??"
...
Before anyone noticed, the ti for the upcoming Legion Council was drawing near.
Taking advantage of the gap in between, Caelan also updated a wave of his equipnt.
Although for the current him, the effects brought by equipnt were already so small as to be nearly negligible.
But still, equipnt was not only for increasing attribute points.
It could also be used to look cool!
What remained now was simply to wait until all the materials had been fully collected.
Then tomorrow, he would summon a dwarven blacksmith and carry out a full upgrade on his longsword.
After finishing all that, Caelan returned to Orlando’s office.
He wanted to ask more about Fragnts of History.
But according to his maternal grandfather, in the current world, Fragnts of History had almost already been completely destroyed.
Therefore, if one wanted to search for them, one would need to head to different worlds.
For example, the Abyss, Hell, the Celestial Realm, the Void Frontier, and so on.
However, as soone with experience, Orlando still offered his own advice.
"At present, Fragnts of History do not have any fixed thod of acquisition, because their very existence is itself rejected by the laws."
"The current pattern is that you can judge the location of Fragnts of History according to the laws. For example, places where the laws are incomplete, or where their influence is relatively weak, are very likely to contain Fragnts of History."
"Such as ruins, special areas, or even in the hands of certain powerful individuals."
"But in truth, searching for Fragnts of History is sothing that depends quite heavily on luck."
Caelan nodded.
The information Orlando had given him was sothing he had never obtained before.
But he still wanted to ask more questions.
So after a brief mont of thought, Caelan opened his mouth and asked, "Maternal grandfather, may I ask whether you know about the Shard of Law that exists in [Dark Maze]?"
As he spoke, Caelan took out the [Shard of Law (Pseudo)] from his storage space and handed it to Orlando.
And after Orlando saw the [Shard of Law (Pseudo)], a shocked expression appeared on his face as well!
Clearly, even with Orlando’s broad knowledge and experience, he was still startled by the [Shard of Law (Pseudo)] before him!
"You brat, did you kill the Maze Keeper??"
In truth, when Orlando was young, he had also entered [Dark Maze].
Back then, it was not that he had never encountered the Maze Keeper.
He had even fought it head-on.
And of course, the result was that he had not won.
But now?
His grandson, this kid who looked harmless to humans and animals alike, had actually even killed the Maze Keeper??
Although it was only a clone, that was already incredibly unbelievable!
"Caelan, how exactly did you do it??"
Faced with his maternal grandfather’s question, Caelan’s face also showed a baffled expression.
"No, no, no. I didn’t kill the Maze Keeper."
"To be precise, it suddenly collapsed on its own and then disappeared."
Using concise and direct words, Caelan recounted everything he had experienced inside [Dark Maze].
At the sa ti, he also took out his [Umbra Invitation].
In fact, when Caelan was telling all this, even he himself did not really trust it.
After all, the phenonon itself was extrely unreasonable.
On the other side, after Orlando heard Caelan’s account, he indeed fell into deep silence.
Because he could not understand what kind of force could make the Maze Keeper collapse soundlessly, without even leaving it a chance to escape!
Unless...
Only the legendary Lord of Abyss could do such a thing!
Just at that mont, Caelan continued and told them everything he had recently experienced.
"Besides that, I also heard a mysterious voice. It demanded that I grow stronger as quickly as possible and bring out the power of the Chosen One."
In truth, Caelan had always been quite satisfied with his own rate of growth.
And yet, that mysterious voice seed not to be very satisfied.
At that mont, Caesar, standing beside Orlando, also tightly furrowed his brow.
Because he too had not expected Caelan to run into sothing like this.
As for information regarding the Chosen One, Caesar and Orlando actually had only very limited knowledge.
So after a simple discussion, they unanimously concluded that only if Caelan continued to grow stronger would he perhaps be able to find the true answer.
There actually was not much more worth discussing about this topic.
Because at present, there were simply too many unknowns, and no judgnt could be made.
So Orlando brought up another suggestion.
"Caelan, I know that the entry threshold for the [Umbra Invitation] is 5 stars."
"But to be on the safe side, I still hope that you can wait until reaching 6 stars before heading there. The situation in the Abyss is far more complicated than you imagine."
At that point, Orlando paused.
From Caelan’s description just now, he faintly had a feeling that his grandson Caelan seed to have caught the attention of the Lord of Abyss.
As for the existence of the Lord of Abyss, there was naturally no need to say anything more about how powerful it was.
However, he did not want to say that out loud right now, so as not to place too much pressure on Caelan.
And besides...
A being that powerful probably would not care about a re 5-star awakener, right??
On the other side, Caelan’s face was filled with confusion.
"Maternal grandfather, I don’t really understand."
"The gap between 5 stars and 6 stars doesn’t seem to be that large, does it?"
The main reason Caelan said this was because he had Deathborn King transformation cards in his hand.
Besides that, he also had quite a few recovery-type items.
There probably would not be any problem.
And moreover, he had long wanted to truly enter the Abyss and investigate it for himself!
