With the cooperation of the Knowledge Fairy, Irving quickly sealed the mysterious passage. Although this was only a temporary solution, the seal he established was very sturdy. "Even if Shadow Celestial and Elder Seville co here again, they will need so ti to break the seal," the Knowledge Fairy remarked as she assessed the sealing.
Irving nodded in agreent. "Now that we've dealt with the situation here, let's hurry and leave! The battle we just fought must have drawn a lot of attention. Before I fulfill my promise, I need to handle so other pressing matters."
Irving spoke in a tone that suggested he was negotiating. He certainly rembered his agreent with the Knowledge Fairy. Since they had temporarily resolved the issues posed by the mysterious passage, he was naturally obliged to keep his promise to take the Knowledge Fairy to the outskirts of the City of Warding. However, in Irving's view, there were still other pressing matters to address before he could fulfill that promise. At the very least, he needed to reassure the ordinary citizens around the city bank and inform his allies about the specific circumstances he had just encountered.
The Knowledge Fairy did not object; she simply said, "You should handle it quickly. I believe many people have gathered around the ruins of the city bank. Our recent battle was indeed earth-shattering."
With the Knowledge Fairy's consent, Irving swiftly climbed out of the ruins of the city bank. As he erged, he imdiately spotted Anna nearby, her expression filled with anxiety.
Anna almost simultaneously noticed Irving. She rushed over to his side and asked urgently, "What exactly happened? Was the mysterious passage a trap? Or did you encounter a very powerful enemy underground at the city bank?"
Anna's face reflected a mix of anxiety and relief. The anxiety stemd from her lack of knowledge about what Irving had faced, while the relief was due to the fact that, at the very least, Irving was safely standing in front of her.
Irving quickly conveyed the key information. When Anna heard about Shadow Celestial and Elder Seville appearing simultaneously, her expression turned to one of sheer terror. "Why did those two suddenly show up here? Could it be that the mysterious passage was actually a trap designed by them? And is there a possibility that the Knowledge Fairy collaborated with them?"
Anna was still very cautious regarding the Knowledge Fairy.
Just as Anna finished asking her questions, the Knowledge Fairy's voice ca from nearby. "If I had really collaborated with them, Irving would not be standing here talking to you. Do you think the power I would gain from allying with Shadow Celestial would be insufficient to eliminate Irving?"
The Knowledge Fairy transford into the form of an owl, her large eyes fixed intently on Anna. A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on Anna's face. "That's not what I ant. You didn't show up right away, so I mistakenly thought you might be one of our enemies," Anna explained.
Her explanation, however, did little to convince the Knowledge Fairy. But Anna didn't consider the conflict between herself and the Knowledge Fairy to be a significant issue. "You really don't need to worry too much. Although the Knowledge Fairy sotis hesitates to help us, she would never collaborate with Shadow Celestial. We should trust her," Irving said slowly to Anna.
Anna nodded, seeming to agree with Irving's perspective. However, deep down, she still harbored doubts about the Knowledge Fairy. Irving felt a bit helpless; he couldn't force Anna to fully trust the Knowledge Fairy. Therefore, he decided not to dwell on the matter any further.
"I have other, more important things to attend to, so I hope you can relay what I just said to our friends. I don't want them to worry too much," Irving said gently to Anna.
Anna nodded. "Of course, no problem! I will quickly inform everyone about what just happened. They must be very worried right now."
Irving patted Anna on the head. "Thank you so much for your help. With you here, I don't need to worry too much. I can go handle the more important matters imdiately."
A slight blush appeared on Anna's cheeks, and a shy smile crept onto her face. "Don't worry! I will definitely complete the tasks you've entrusted to perfectly!" Anna replied earnestly.
Irving was very satisfied. "That's great!"
With that, Irving left with the Knowledge Fairy. anwhile, Anna quickly gathered the mbers of the Angel Guild. "Do not disclose what has happened at the city bank. If anyone asks, just say there were structural issues with the building itself."
Anna wanted to keep unrelated individuals from learning too much information, so she directly instructed the Angel Guild mbers to maintain confidentiality. Naturally, the mbers of the Angel Guild understood the importance of discretion. They all knew that every piece of information they possessed was classified.
After the mbers of the Angel Guild confird Anna's orders, she sent a few individuals to relay the information she had learned from Irving to Jas, Benjamin, and Vicky.
After everything was settled, Anna began to recall what Irving had just said to her. "Irving must value a lot! I can still provide him with significant help! I must keep working hard; I absolutely cannot disappoint Irving," Anna murmured to herself.
anwhile, as Anna took action, Irving and the Knowledge Fairy were moving quickly. Both of them entered a special state. In this state, their speed of movent beca much faster than before, and the ordinary people of the City of Warding were unable to detect their presence.
In just a quarter of an hour, they reached the outskirts of the City of Warding. The outskirts featured a vast forest, and not far from the forest was a river that flowed directly to the sea. Upon arriving here, the Knowledge Fairy beca much more excited than before.
"I can finally feel the power of nature. All life radiates the essence of nature. Everyone should enjoy these powers," the Knowledge Fairy exclaid excitedly.
Irving did not understand what the Knowledge Fairy ant by the "power of nature." He did not feel any natural power; he could only sense the fresh air and the pleasant atmosphere around him. "What is the power of nature? Did you co here to collect the power of nature?" Irving asked the Knowledge Fairy slowly.
The Knowledge Fairy did not respond imdiately. Instead, she transford into a raven and quickly flew to a nearby tree. "The power of nature is not a singular force; it is a special form created by a mixture of various powers. In fact, the powers of chaos and dark energy can, to so extent, also be considered as aspects of natural power. Each type of power embodies a facet of nature. This ans that if one focuses too much on a single power, they may beco distorted by it."
"The human soul and body are actually very fragile. A human soul can easily be corroded by powerful forces, and a human body can easily be warped by those powers," the Knowledge Fairy explained what the power of nature truly was.
After listening to this, Irving smiled and asked the Knowledge Fairy, "Are you giving advice? Do you think I should not focus on any single type of power?"
"I am not giving you advice, as I believe you have already been doing that. You possess not only the powers of order and light but also dark energy and the powers of chaos. You have unconsciously mastered a great deal of power. These different types of power have achieved a certain balance within you. Ultimately, this manifests in your ability to easily maintain your ntal stability," the Knowledge Fairy seed to be praising Irving.
Irving smiled but did not think much of it.
Irving did not believe that the effect he had achieved was purely accidental. He thought that this effect was closely related to the power of the Taikoo Fla Pearl within his body. The Taikoo Fla Pearl ca directly from the Taikoo Divine Clan, a clan that had survived the destruction of the previous era. This ant that the Taikoo Divine Clan had a deeper understanding of power than anyone existing in the current age.
"I'll take that as a complint. But you still haven't told the real reason you're here. If you're not here to collect the power of nature, then what could it possibly be?" Irving redirected the conversation. He didn't want the Knowledge Fairy to know too much about him.
The Knowledge Fairy transford from a raven into a massive spellbook. As the huge spellbook opened, various mysterious symbols suddenly erged around them. The mont these symbols appeared, they were absorbed into the spellbook.
"I've already told you my purpose for being here—I'm here to gather enough information. Haven't you noticed that various powers are becoming increasingly chaotic?" the Knowledge Fairy responded while continuing to absorb information from the surroundings.
Irving frowned. He hadn't sensed any growing chaos in the powers around him. While he had noticed that the powers of chaos and the abyss were becoming more volatile, he thought this was only a special circumstance pertaining to those two types of power. After all, both the powers of chaos and the abyss were inherently negative. Negative forces inherently represented chaos.
"I haven't noticed that. But if you have, maybe you can explain it to . I'd like to understand why the powers are becoming increasingly chaotic," Irving countered.
The Knowledge Fairy did not provide any imdiate response. "If you want the answer to that question, you will have to pay a greater price. I have finished gathering the information; you can take back now," she stated plainly.
