Stan Sol released the Battle Pet Fiery Blaze as requested by Igor.
The argunt between the Alchemy Workshop and the Mountain Monsters of Guru Mountain was relentless. They were arguing intensely, with neither party backing down, so much so that the appearance of Stan Sol's battle pet did not draw their attention.
The Battle Pet Fiery Blaze, like a tricky wandering dragon, wriggled its way towards the spot in the sky where rocks were soaring.
The instant the fla touched the rocks, it was as if a key had unlocked a remarkable door. The lightning imprisoned within was suddenly free, rushing around the vast sky like mischievous children.
Lightning invariably brings thunder. A dazzling yellow lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and a trendous rumble echoed through the clouds!
This sudden roar ca without warning and took everyone by surprise.
The abrupt thunderclap silenced the arguing factions of Moonflow Stream. They were all stunned by the deafening sound.
The mont the fla ignited the rock, lightning burst out, creating a magnificent display. Unfortunately, the arguing parties at Moonflow Stream did not fully appreciate this spectacle. They only caught sight of this anomaly out of the corner of their eyes. By the ti they reacted, the lingering effect of the thunderclap was still reverberating in their ears.
The individuals who were stunned by the thunderclap began to look skyward, trying to determine what had caused the enormous peal of thunder.
Igor clapped his hands together. He had accomplished his goal: drawing everyone's attention towards them.
He wanted to ask about Dastan on behalf of Stan Sol, but the people here seed more concerned with other matters. Igor couldn't understand why they were arguing. Was it all for Kuyi Tulan, who had done sothing wrong? It seems a bit absurd, he thought.
"COUGH! COUGH!" Igor found the situation sowhat awkward, his reaction a bit unnatural. To avoid any further awkwardness stemming from his unnatural reaction, he let out a couple of coughs.
The brief silence after the thunderclap was broken by Igor's coughs. The previously arguing parties at Moonflow Stream turned to look at Igor, each person with a furrowed brow. He orchestrated such a dramatic display; what's he up to now? they wondered.
Igor t the crowd's diverse expressions and paused for a mont. But he quickly regained his composure. I have to ask the question for Stan Sol, he reminded himself. I can't let this spectacle intimidate .
"COUGH! COUGH! How about that? The thunderclap was quite grand, wasn't it? HAHAHA." Although in his heart he wanted to get straight to the point, his actions couldn't keep up, and he still beat around the bush.
"You made such a racket just to say that?" Milo from the Alchemy Workshop obviously didn't believe it. Normally a man of few words, he couldn't help but ramble on at this mont due to the unexpected events happening around him; in normal tis, he wouldn't have dread of being so talkative.
Igor looked at Milo, who was flushed with emotion from the argunt. This is strange, he thought. As a disciple of the Great ntor, why isn't he siding with him? Even now, I don't understand. And now, he's the first one to step forward and question . It seems that Kuyi Tulan indeed possesses extraordinary qualities to have this peculiar fellow following him…
I'm getting sidetracked, Igor realized. I was supposed to inquire about the matter Stan Sol is concerned about, not wander off thinking about Kuyi Tulan.
"HMM?" When Igor fell silent, the crowd made a collective sound to remind him.
"ER, I almost forgot what I was supposed to do." Igor shook himself out of his reverie. Sotis he could be quite absent-minded.
"What are you trying to do?" Kadi asked with concern. He too had joined the argunt earlier; after all, he was one of the Guru Mountain Monsters and felt he needed to maintain a united front.
"Well, this matter doesn't concern much directly, but I find it incredible. So, I want to ask on behalf of soone else."
Igor suddenly beca a bit loquacious, as if what he wanted to ask was not sothing that could be expressed in a sentence or two.
"Be brief..." Kadi stepped forward. He didn't want to hear a long story. For him, arguing with the people from the Alchemy Workshop was essential. Moreover, they currently had the upper hand and it would be unacceptable for Igor to interrupt them at this critical juncture.
"ER, alright. Since you insist, I'll get straight to the point." Igor shrugged. He had initially wanted to ask the question calmly, but Kadi's urging made him abandon that idea; it was better to just throw the question out quickly.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Kadi, a little impatient, pressed him a few more tis. His coaxing was indeed effective.
"I'm asking for Stan Sol about his family. You all know Elder Dastan, right? He's Stan Sol's kin. Sol wants to ask those of you from the Alchemy Workshop: where have you taken Elder Dastan?"
Upon hearing this, the resentnt surged once again among the Mountain Monsters of Guru Mountain. They had forgotten all about this matter while arguing earlier. This was a new grudge against the Alchemy Workshop, and they were determined to get a clear answer.
Igor's question sparked a furor among the Mountain Monsters of Guru Mountain. The montum they had gained in the earlier war of words was instantly revived.
"Dastan is also one of us!"
"What the hell did you bastards do to Dastan?"
"Yeah, what have you done to Dastan? Where is he now?"
...
Everyone started speaking at once. Suddenly, all the Mountain Monsters of Guru Mountain beca Igor's spokespeople, so much so that he no longer needed to ask the question himself.
Who would have thought that the thunder and lightning released by Igor would cause Moonflow Stream to erupt like this in a split second.
This scene was as shocking as an earth-shattering thunderclap.
The Mountain Monsters of Guru Mountain all cared deeply for Dastan. This sentint was heartfelt, a fact that both Igor and Stan Sol could clearly see.
Stan Sol felt sowhat moved. He hadn't expected Dastan to be so popular and so highly valued on Guru Mountain.
The Great ntor also felt a bit touched. Seeing the monsters caring for each other so genuinely, regardless of their differences, he couldn't help but feel gratified. Over these years, the inhabitants of Guru Mountain had truly grown to have their hearts connected as one.
"Do you see, my child? This is real strength. This is true unity."
"ntor, I understand these simple truths. However, certain things can't be advanced simply by relying on these principles. I stand by what I've said: everything I do is for the sake of this kingdom. I hope everyone can understand."
The Great ntor and Kuyi Tulan had a brief exchange during this interlude. Igor's mighty thunderclap was indeed loud enough to plunge the entire scene into an uproar, yet this uproar was strangely focused, as all the noise centered on a single question.
It was a question that everyone clearly wanted an answer to: What exactly was Dastan's condition?
