This technology that cos close to an entire alchemy industry chain is unlikely to be created by dwarves who haven’t even established their own kingdom.
Kael looked up at the Alchemy Furnace and began to suspect that it was an artifact the dwarves had "archeologically" discovered from the relics of a previous civilization.
After all, the vast continent was the burial ground of nurous civilizations, and to a large extent, it was easier for an erging civilization to thrive on the remnants of an ancient civilization rather than developing independently.
Whether it was the forr Supre Forest, or the subsequent Sacred Briania and Yibel Federation, all had absorbed so remnants of ancient civilizations.
If the dwarves were lucky, it wasn’t impossible for them to stumble upon the relics of a forr advanced civilization, not to ntion that if a historical-echoing Dungeon was breached, they could dredge up quite a few technological artifacts.
Of course, none of this was important to Kael.
He had more important things to do right now.
…
This ti, Kael had not co with the team from the Duchy of England, and as a result, he attracted less attention from outsiders.
But as soon as Kael officially settled in, he quickly sensed the attention coming from the shadows. Kael glanced at Old White nonchalantly, and Old White nodded, confirming Kael’s suspicion.
Kael clicked his tongue internally.
These secret spies from the Orean Independent Kingdom were indeed persistent.
Just as he was about to use the excuse of being spied upon to "fury" and vent his anger, a knock ca on the door with one loud and two soft knocks.
Old White put on a serious face and went to the door. Upon opening it, he saw a diminutive halfling guard standing at the entrance, looking up and giving Old White a military salute in the Orean style:
"Sword Maniac, upon hearing of Lord Kael’s transit to the Royal Capital, the seniors at the council hall placed great emphasis on this and dispatched us from the Shadow Secret Guard to escort.
But since Sword Maniac is here, we from the Shadow Secret Guard are no longer in a position to insist on protecting Lord Kael’s safety. We will have the Shadow Secret Guard withdraw shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused."
Inside, Kael frowned. These people were indeed quick to respond, having prepared their reason right away.
The leader of the Shadow Secret Guard hesitated slightly and whispered to Old White:
"Sword Maniac, your arrival was sudden. May I communicate with Lord Kael to address any misunderstandings early on?"
Kael, who was always adorned with various magic enhancents, could hear the entire conversation clearly even from the inner room. Noticing the Shadow Secret Guard’s firm resolve, he shook his head without intervening and called out from a distance:
"Grandpa White, let him in."
Old White at the door stepped aside slightly and said to the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, "Have all Shadow Secret Guard stay outside, you may enter alone."
Hearing that Baron Helois was willing to communicate, the Shadow Secret Guard breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Of course, Baron Helois is a guest from afar. Our rushed visit this ti was really a great impoliteness. How about we set up a private banquet tomorrow at the Heavenly Pegasus Hotel and have a drink together?"
"That won’t be necessary. The reason for this visit was because we were pressed for ti. After handling related matters tomorrow, we will return to the Duchy of England quickly."
Kael erged from the inner chamber and looked at the sowhat tense captain of the Shadow Secret Guard. In a low chuckle, he said:
"Why are you Shadow Secret Guards not guarding the security of the Royal Capital late at night but instead coming to , a re baron? If one didn’t know better, they might think I’m a dangerous infiltrator secretly undermining your Kingdom."
"It’s truly because your combat achievents are too impressive, and with Sword Maniac himself present, we ask for your understanding, Lord Kael. The Orean Independent Kingdom is a small country and cannot withstand too much upheaval," said the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard with an almost fawning expression.
Kael fell silent for a mont, roughly understanding why he was sought out by the Royal Capital’s secret service as soon as he arrived in Orean.
This matter did indeed have sothing to do with him.
Earlier, as a representative of the Yibel Federation, he had caught too much attention. First, he severely wounded a Chosen One at Muxue Castle, and then in the Royal Capital, he clashed with the younger generation of halflings, almost dominating the entire talent of Orean Independent Kingdom.
After these actions, Orean Independent Kingdom raised their security level against him by several notches.
If everything went as expected, Kael paired with Old White was now seen by the Orean Independent Kingdom as the image of a "monstrous danger comparable to a Chosen One a legend-titled powerhouse" teaming up.
Although there were many misunderstandings, such as the fact that he was able to severely injure the Chosen One by relying on a precision strike after casting from a Super Visual Range.
Another misunderstanding was that, at the ti at Muxue Castle, the halfling Chosen One could only hide in the Lord Mansion acting as a target.
Another was that none could interrupt his spellcasting due to the presence of Mr. Luxius and several old mages during his attack preparation.
