"Hehe, it seems our Dean Haleem has quite an approval for Lord Rein of the Empire." Councilor Nelson said with an awkward smile, as if trying to smooth things over for General Randall.
"That’s not the point. The question now is, how do we proceed with the exploration of the Floating City Ruins?" Trena said from the side.
Due to the significant issues that arose from the preliminary exploration led by the Military Departnt, at this mont, neither General Randall nor Councilor Nelson took the initiative to respond to Trena’s inquiries.
"Councilor Trena, do you have any good suggestions?" Vice Speaker Bertrand said in a deep voice.
"I suggest imdiately having Lord Sword Saint Terrio return to the cavern camp. As a Federation powerhouse with previous experience in Floating City explorations, it would be more appropriate for him to oversee the preliminary phase."
"Additionally, I suggest setting up a large scale Defensive Witch Array around the Floating City to prevent those chanical monsters, resembling swift dragon forms, from charging out of the Floating City."
Councilor Nelson furrowed his brow, questioning:
"Councilor Trena, do you know how vast the area that the Floating City occupies is? This will consu a trendous amount of the Federation’s material resources and manpower."
"Of course, but Councilor Nelson, have you considered how to deal with it if these chanical monsters do rush out of the Floating City?" Trena countered sharply.
"Fine, even if Councilor Trena, you have a valid point, what about the exploration efforts? Is the preliminary exploration not going to be conducted?" Nelson continued.
"Even if it is to be conducted, my opinion is that Lord Terrio should lead, limited to activities on the negative first layer of the Floating City ruins, and be prepared for withdrawal at any ti."
"Once we have gathered enough powerhouses, then we will consider deeper exploration."
"Especially Lord Haleem, if he can successfully advance to Dawn Wizard, he would beco the Federation’s second tal Series Dawn Wizard, greatly benefiting the subsequent exploration of the Floating City Ruins. Everyone should not forget that Lord Rein of the Empire is a tal Series Dawn Wizard."
Trena’s words instantly made Councilor Nelson and General Randall feel as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a dead fly, yet they couldn’t think of a suitable angle to refute at that mont.
"Then it’s settled for now! Councilor Trena, please imdiately contact Lord Sword Saint Terrio."
"Additionally, General Randall, you and I need to imdiately return to Antuhohl. We both need to face questioning from the Federation Congress." Vice Speaker Bertrand said solemnly, his expression not looking good.
Because of the failure of this action by the Military Departnt, he would also have to return and explain to the Federation Congress.
Of course, this does not an that it is his responsibility, but rather the normal procedure of facing questioning after a major event, which is an important system within the Federation.
The death of two Federation powerhouses during the exploration of the ruins is undoubtedly a shocking event for the Federation!
...
anwhile.
High above the boundless Sumr Sea.
The Imperial Airship formation had just set out not long ago, with the Federation’s major city Zetaya gradually disappearing from the view of everyone aboard the airship.
Rein and nia were currently on one side of the flagship’s deck, admiring the distant scenery while chatting leisurely in the sea breeze.
"Sothing quite significant must have just happened within the Federation—I saw a change in Bertrand’s expression," nia said lightly.
"Prince nia, you noticed too?" Rein smiled.
"Yes, no rush, the intelligence departnt should soon deliver the news."
"By the way, Rein, how did the exploration of the ruins go this ti?"
"Prince nia, fortunately, I discovered the Fifth Layer of the Steel Heart Advanced ditation thod."
"Oh? That’s indeed great news. I wonder how happy Moria will be upon hearing this. Also, the Empire should soon have a new major school."
nia’s beautiful eyes gazed at Rein, as she gently tucked the light red strands of hair behind her ear, smiling.
Rein, however, was montarily dazed by nia’s unexpected smile, additionally noticing for the first ti that nia’s beautiful eyes seed to hold more than just appreciation.
He previously assud that nia, as a representative of the Imperial Royal Family, held admiration and expectation for future stars like him within the Empire.
But now it seems, perhaps not entirely, at least towards him, it seems not solely so.
There is a certain....
Nevertheless, Rein did not let his gaze linger for long, nodding quickly:
"Hehe, indeed, the Sect Leader Moria will be very pleased."
"As for establishing a major school, once we return, I believe the Sect Leader Moria will likely represent the Bixiu chanization School and apply to the Empire for elevation to a major school."
"By the way, Prince nia, perhaps you aren’t aware, but that particular ruin is actually an intact Floating City from the Ancient Goblin Empire," Rein suddenly recalled sothing and explained.
"Hmm? Floating City?" With a typically calm expression, nia’s majestic deanor changed slightly as her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
"Yes, it’s the capital of the Ancient Goblins, and at the sa ti, it is a truly awe-inspiring Floating City, within it...."
Imdiately, Rein began to detail his experiences during this journey, henceforth omitting the secretive contents recorded in the Black Diary, such as the origin of the Steel Heart ditation thod from the Ancient Goblin Empire.
"By the way, Prince nia, I encountered a type of black mist within, capable of transforming into any entity—it was quite troubleso."
"Additionally, according to the relics recorded on the deceased Ancient Wizards during the exploration, they refer to this type of black mist as Fiend Demon. Do you know of the origins of this thing referred to as Fiend Demon?" Rein finally asked the question he had long wanted to inquire about.
