The team once again got to discussing asures, this ti on how to handle the location change of Maws of Agony.
Eryndor himself never had participated in these etings, just stayed on the side to get updates about the current progress of the team and their future action plans.
He felt the drain on his energy of Consciousness, as the Sovereign’s Cloak’s defense chanism was triggered once again.
And indeed, from the corner of his eye, he spotted Liliana’s thumb resting on the ring. He was almost used to it by now, so he didn’t pay any attention to it.
His mind was consud by the thoughts about Liliana’s intentions.
Eryndor had co to realise the brilliance of their plan.
First planet? Striders, which were mobile threats.
Second planet? Crappy Birds, which were mobile threats.
Third planet? Maws of Agony, which were stationary threats.
Which ant rushing out of the first two planets was also planned, because the issue of fuel consumption could be solved on the third planet itself.
The spaceship could continue refueling without being threatened, as the source of danger was entirely stationary.
He continued thinking.
Just what exactly is Liliana’s goal?
First, she wants to hurt the couple.
It was logical why she wasn’t doing it herself but using different tactics which couldn’t be traced back to her.
Obviously, it was because she didn’t want Ken and Hellen to report back to Calix that Liliana was out for them. It might put him on guard.
Second, the two of them might blow up the matter, which would force the agents on the team to contact the Human Federation.
In that case, the mission might even get terminated. They couldn’t allow an unstable team to be near an Eldritch being.
Second, she cares about the humans. This makes hesitant which side she is on.
She was against the couple, who were on the sa side as Calix, who was fighting with Ranvencrofts from the side of humanity, against the Mage Outer domain.
On the other hand, she also cared about the lives of the humans.
Eryndor was tempted to believe that all of this was purely a personal vendetta, if not for one fact.
It was that she had controlled the spaceship to sync with the tiline of Mage Outer Domain’s attack.
Why would she need to do that if this was just her personal revenge?
Eryndor went back to his room when the eting ended, his Sovereign’s Cloak holding up well against the ntal attacks. It still hadn’t crossed even ten percent of the Cloak’s defense capacity.
He took out his phone and sent a ssage to Syndra.
"Can I know Calix’s details related to the battle?"
When she didn’t reply imdiately, he opened the pill bottle which he had left on the bed and took out a Spirit Strengthening pill.
Popping it in his mouth, he began circulating the Qi through the big circuit of practice technique.
As soon as his Qi completed one revolution, the new Qi which was absorbed didn’t head towards his ridians like usual but entered his brain.
Imdiately, a cooling sensation filled his mind. It was extrely cold, enough to trigger a brain freeze normally, but it sohow brought pleasure.
He inadvertently relaxed while his mind chilled, before the cold finally reduced in intensity after a few seconds.
Would sothing happen to my mind if I continuously use the practice technique to temper it?
He didn’t know. Would the temperature continue to lower as he kept circulating his Qi?
Well, might as well try.
He got back to circulating his Qi. The first revolution felt the sa as before, with a deep breath, he continued onwards with the second round.
When he finished doing it, the temperature remained the sa. There was no change to the feeling of cold in his mind.
This is good. I could get used to it.
It was certainly a pleasurable feeling to continue tempering the mind.
With the amount of Qi he was controlling began increasing, the amount of absorbed Qi heading towards the mind similarly increased.
When he completed his eleventh round, instead of heading towards the mind, the Qi was absorbed into his ridians, helping Eryndor make a small progress in his cultivation.
That’s it? No wonder they’re expensive.
He popped another pill in his mouth and resud his mind tempering.
After about twenty minutes, he went through a bottle of Spirit Strengthening pills.
Just when he was about to take out another one, a beep from his phone caught his attention.
Syndra had ssaged him.
"With this question you are asking, soone would mistake you for a spy."
Eryndor chuckled, "You can investigate with your background if you think so."
He didn’t mind it. However big of a family Ravencrofts were, they couldn’t compare to the behemoth of a Human Federation. They wouldn’t be able to find anything on him.
"Nah, I’m kidding. About Calix, I’ll send so information which is common knowledge.
"As for the more important ones, I’ll have to submit an application to the higher ups about allowing you to view it."
"Don’t, I’ll first go through the common one. If I still need more information then I’ll notify you."
"Alright, give a minute."
Eryndor tapped his foot against the floor while waiting for the information.
Maybe he could find a breakthrough in it?
He got the information package a few monts later. After thanking Syndra, he imdiately began reading through it.
What was ntioned in the file was the placent of team Lockheim and the general structure of the terrain around them.
It also included the structure of the wall which team Lockheim had to guard.
It was said that the wall was made in recent years by a genius Array Formation master.
It was built and installed with such formations that one had to apply equal pressure in multiple locations of the wall for it to break down at the fastest rate.
If it was under attack, depending on the inconsistency of the ti of damage across these points, it would proportionally take longer to break down.
Wait…
Eryndor was just normally reading through this piece of information when an old information which perfectly fit this criteria resurfaced in his mind.
As his brain connected the dots, his eyes went wide.
He hurriedly searched for professor lissa’s contact number and sent her a ssage.
"That Mystical Artifact - Amplifier Doll, does it have sothing to do with the Mage Outer Domain?"
