Soone is slandering him; this must be a conspiracy between the Super Competitive League and the Descendants of Flor. This is absolutely intolerable, and to defend his honor, he certainly won't hesitate to confront them.
Fang Hong was imdiately furious, using his thick gloves to swipe downwards on the light screen, opening a virtual keyboard in front of him.
He had just placed his hand on the W key and pressed down halfway, but suddenly paused mid-way, as a new idea erged in his mind.
He instinctively withdrew his hand, furtively glanced left and right, logged out, and registered a new alias. Then he returned to the original post and fervently praised himself below:
'The comnt above is utter nonsense—'
'Anyone who knows better can see how legendary this battle was.'
'I think even the King of Grey, FOX, would be just like this at this level—'
But unexpectedly, soone imdiately replied below:
"I doubt it."
Fang Hong was instantly a bit annoyed:
"Who are you?"
The opponent was quite straightforward:
"FOX."
Fang Hong took a look at the ID and nearly blacked out; CthayFOX, which was indeed the ID of the King of Grey in the community.
He cursed his luck and hastily closed the Light Page, feeling a bit anxious as he raised his head.
As he lifted his head, he saw a pair of sparkling eyes gazing at him, resembling two brilliant sapphires—Hilveld was standing in front of him, looking at him with a mischievous gaze.
The young girl was wearing a white dress, her long golden hair slightly curled and resting along her cheek, with a slightly playful look in her eyes.
Fang Hong's face flushed red, as if smoke might co out of his head, stamring: "Hi-Hi, Hilveld."
Hilveld smiled lightly, saying: "Actually, I also think it's quite impressive."
"Ah?"
The noble lady's eyes were shining brightly: "I an Fanric back then, Lord Captain looked very impressive."
Fang Hong awkwardly scratched his head, unsure of what to say, feeling overwheld with sha and mortification when he recalled his previous behavior.
Hilveld laughed gently, leaving the matter at that.
Then she said: "Actually, I've co to find Lord Captain about sothing."
Fang Hong was a bit surprised.
"About what?"
"About those people."
"Those people?"
"You're referring to them as the Descendants of Flor, right."
Fang Hong suddenly realized: "You're talking about the Descendants of Flor, what's up with them?"
Hilveld stared into his eyes: "Lord Captain must have thought about it too, right?"
"Thought... what?"
"About what happened during the Idus incident."
Fang Hong was caught off guard internally; why the Descendants of Flor knew the secrets between the Wanderer and Eve was also a mystery in his mind.
The incident was witnessed by only a few: Eve, Nikopolas, Xiuyuede, Kalatu, Tang De, and the Wanderer himself.
So others were involved but only knew part of the truth, like the Great Elder, Garcia the Praetor of Idus, who witnessed the 'Dragon Witch Disaster,' but did not survive it and thus didn't know what happened afterward.
Or perhaps a dwarf hero who stole the Dragon's Golden Eyes, along with the Wanderer's nephew, Aiertaute, cousin to Kalatu—these individuals joined Xiuyuede and Kalatu's team later on and only knew the latter half of the truth.
Most of these people are no longer alive.
Yet, there are a few who exist in the form of the Undead, and they might not know what Kalatu and Xiuyuede ultimately did to seal the Dragon King's Soul in Idus.
Those who do know include Eve, the descendants of Xiuyuede, Kalatu, Tang De, and the Wanderer himself, none of whom are likely to leak this secret.
His clue ca from Mazak, but the owner of the 'Traveler's Rest' hadn't told him the full truth either. The facts regarding the Dragon King's Soul were pieced together by him through investigation.
Where did the Descendants of Flor learn all this from?
His only suspicion was that the Descendants of Flor might have colluded with Nikopolas, though the idea of the Summoners' Guild colluding with the Dark Giant Dragon sounded sowhat alarming, yet after all that he's been through, he didn't completely rule out the possibility.
However, at this mont, this idea remains a guess; he wouldn't fancy himself to wrongly accuse the Descendants of Flor or anything, but treating a possibility as fact could lead him down the wrong path.
Thus ignoring the real truth.
After pondering for a mont, he shared his thoughts with Hilveld.
The noble lady listened carefully, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, rely lifted her long lashes to gaze at him with pale blue eyes: "The Descendants of Flor are also seeking the Holy Relic."
"What?"
She glanced at the back of his hand, "The Hailin Crown."
Fang Hong thought for a mont, still not quite understanding: "I know this, but what's the connection between the two?"
Hilveld spoke softly:
"Lord Captain, the Wanderer is also seeking the Holy Relic."
"I'm even more confused, Hilveld. Almost every guild is looking for the Holy Grail or other Holy Relics now. What exactly are you trying to tell ?"
Miss Ship's Officer giggled softly; sotis this Lord Captain was extrely astute, yet at other tis, he could be terribly clueless. But it was precisely at monts like these when she needed to play her part.
She softened her voice and offered a reminder:
"Lord Captain, what I'm just trying to say is that there might exist a potential similar logic behind identical action patterns.
Just like when we dealt with the 'Dragon Witch' incident, we almost inevitably encountered the Wanderer in the end. Naturally, we also might collide with 'those people,' and perhaps we've already t them unknowingly."
