Jiang Li was supposed to beco Wang Yu Yan's shadow, especially since the woman had quite a dangerous job for a bonafide lady like her. However, he still took the trip to the fae city since he had already felt an unusual presence there.
It was definitely sobody who was not supposed to be in this world.
"Hey, you. There should be sobody in your race who could take a glimpse into the future, right?" Jiang Li turned to the fae boy who was following obediently behind him as they walked towards the city.
Jiang Li was different from Dong Lan, that guy with a dubious goal and motive in world-hopping.
Jiang Li didn't know if it was because he had once achieved a very high achievent in magic before, but every ti he transmigrated, he would be able to feel every foreign presence in the world. By foreign presence, he ant people who had co back to life, ti-traveled, or transmigrated.
Most of the ti, it referred to the fortune-teller's successor. That was if the other party was not a lead or a villain. Of course, since he could only feel them, there was still a need to check in person to verify this. He had to be careful since the foreign presence could also be another 'outsider'. And while Dong Lan was mild and could be tolerated, people like the Fortune-Teller were not necessarily like that.
There was still about five miles to traverse. The mountainous region was quite botherso, but the two could only stride forward carefully as the aircraft they used was left behind. They could not pilot it anymore. There was no way the soldiers and dinosaurs manning the city walls would let a human flying vessel enter unless they have water inside their brain.
Mohan looked up from the ground and coldly replied, "Every fae has an ability so it's not unusual for them to be many seers amongst us. I'm only telling it to you, Sir, since it is just common knowledge. We're not like you, humans who only have few people with decent abilities."
Ridicule could be seen from the male lead's eyes, even though it was not very obvious.
The boy was a confusing person. He didn't want to offend the human expert before him, yet he also couldn't contain his instinct to boast about the fae race's superiority.
Fortunately, the middle-aged guy was not sobody who would flare up from hearing his own race getting insulted.
"Well. Rather than saying there are few humans with decent abilities, it should be that few have abilities useful in the battlefields. Anyway, amongst the many seers of your race, is there sobody residing in that Pagoda?"
Jiang Li paused briefly to glance at the tall ivory tiered tower with obsidian-colored eaves. The male lead subconsciously followed his gaze. The latter frowned but did not answer. He looked down again and focused on his steps.
"For your information, ignoring won't make much of a difference since that place is my destination. I have to see soone from there."
A small drone passed by and they had to take cover, yet the fae boy was almost a step late since he montarily got distracted. If Mohan was not sobody with impressive control over his emotion, he would have glared at Jiang Li already or worse, attacked him.
'This guy!!!' However, even though Mohan's face instantly returned to normal, deep inside, he was still really shaken. He was barely able to control his fists from trembling.
Every city owned by fae had a building similar to the Pagoda ahead and usually, it only housed normal priests who could perform healing magic and rituals. However, as a noble, he was aware that the Pontiff was in their city and was currently residing in the highest floor of that pagoda. That was the highest leader of their race! How could he not be alard by Jiang Li's intention? Why else would this human want to see the Pontiff?
'I need to send a warning!'
Jiang Li looked for sowhere not heavily guarded and flipped over the tall walls made of the strongest tal of his race, adamantine. Mohan had to follow. Throughout this, Mohan was on high alert, feeling so pressured as he looked for chances to connect through the city's network.
The humans who captured them knew definitely that every fae had so sort of chip implanted in their bodies. But out of conceit, the humans did not take it out. Naturally, the one embedded at the back of Mohan's head was left as is.
'Haha, go ahead, send a signal. I dare your arrogant people to waltz into our territory.'
'Better if you pretty-faces livestream this to your fellow fae so they'll hurry!'
As the words played in his mind, Mohan was strangely not infuriated, unlike the first ti when he almost wanted to self-destruct to teach those arrogant insects a lesson. However, right now, he felt thankful. When Jiang Li was marveling at the strange buildings and constructs that greeted him as they made way into the industrial area of the city, Mohan took that chance to send warning and advice to station more experts around the Holy Temple.
When he closed his eyes, he heard a colleague's voice ringing in his head, 'Don't worry. I got you. The Pontiff knows your situation. Just continue following that person.'
Mohan was startled for a full minute, but then when he realized what his colleague ant, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Li with a faint hint of ridicule and gloating. Why did he forget that the highest leader of the Holy Temple could glimpse into the future? Such an all-knowing fae, would it be possible for him to mistakenly let a re bug get into their territory?'
'This human pervert is done for.'
'You want to see our greatest Seer, the Pontiff? Sure!'
'But every leader has gathered at that place too, all great warriors and ability users who were strong enough to wipe out thousands of n by themselves.'
'I want to see how you'll get past them or if you could even escape from here.'
The male lead coldly chuckled to himself, unaware that Jiang Li briefly looked back at him, lifting his left brow.
Hours passed and the congregation on the fae' side finished, and the Pontiff was just about to dismiss the leaders.
On another part of the city, two people were rushing towards the ivory tiered tower.
The city was large as it was the size comparable to a small country, but even without the current technology, individuals with great physiques and abilities could just race through the streets or fly to reach the central district.
However, Jiang Li was not that stupid yet. He stole Marcus, Mohan's pet from the military, to ferry him to the destination. Thankfully, the war pet was truly dumb and imdiately thought of him as a friend the mont it saw him standing next to Mohan. In no ti, it joyfully joined the other dinosaurs and biological transportation machines filling up the fae city streets. Most likely, it even assud that the guards following them were playing tags with it, so it happily increased its speed.
"Hello, we finally et again." Upon arriving at the Holy Cathedral, Jiang Li imdiately headed for the top floor where he chanced upon more than two dozen people congregating before a handso white-robed youth.
Jiang Li swept a glance at the fae people who promptly stood up to grab their weapons and assu attacking stances. The crowd made small noises as they summoned the guards and threw themselves toward their Pontiff to protect him.
Then, the Pontiff finally opened his mouth. The white-robed youth wore a gloomy expression as he commanded in a grim tone, "My people, a guest has arrived. Please go back to your seats."
