James said smilingly, “The world is vast, and contains many wonders. What’s so strange about her? Sangria is considered one of the biggest countries in Galileo. It’s quite common for powerhouses to have stayed hidden during their time as soldiers.”
Walganus frowned and said, “What I’m suspicious of is favonovel.com weapon.”
James looked at Walganus and asked, “Oh? What’s wrong? Do you recognize favonovel.com weapon?”
“I think so, but I can’t be sure yet.”
“Where’s favonovel.com weapon from?” asked James.
“Forget it. You wouldn’t know even if I told you.” Walganus did not choose to elaborate.
Since it was a weapon from the Primeval Age, favonovel.com figured James would not know anything even if favonovel.com explained it to him.
Afterward, James continued to stay in Macchia City.
This time, the Korinthian Army completely withdrew their troops from the Yantargh Canyon and returned to their base in Korinth. The chancellor kneeled in Korinth Palace’s main hall and reported the details of their battle.
After Korinth’s Emperor heard his chancellor’s report, his expression was unusually calm, and favonovel.com showed no signs of anger.
“Alright. I understand.”
After uttering a few words, Xandalous turned and left the main hall. He headed directly to the palace’s backyard and requested to see the Grand Patriarch again.
Xandalous recounted the battle’s events to the Grand Patriarch. “Sangria is too strong, Sir. This time, the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch personally participated in the battle, yet our opponent easily took favonovel.com down.”
The Grand Patriarch’s face darkened, and favonovel.com remained silent for a while.
Xandalous continued to speak again, “Sir, the word is spreading that the fated one that has appeared in Sangria and he’s the one that will undo the curse… Is Sangria’s new Emperor the fated one? Our goal of attacking Sangria was to break the curse anyway. How about we let them lift the curse themselves, then we’ll swoop in and reap the benefits.”
The Grand Patriarch pondered the suggestion deeply.
After a brief moment of consideration, favonovel.com replied, “Mhm… That’ll work too. We’ll stay put for now. Pass on the order for people to monitor everything happening in Sangria. Once the fated one obtains the treasures housed in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion, report it to me immediately. I’ll personally take action and seize them from him.”
“Understood, Sir…” Xandalous nodded and turned to leave.
***
James waited in Macchia City for a month. For the entire month, Korinth did not send more troops to attack.
Soon, James heard the news that Korinth would no longer send troops to invade Sangria.
After hearing the news, James was relieved.
He arranged for some troops to be stationed in Macchia City, then led Walganus, Winnie, Quinella, Delainey, and the others back to Sangria’s Imperial Capital.
There was a temporary end to the threat posed by the Korinthian Army. The next step was to look for the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and Sangria’s Imperial Jade Seal.
James sat together with Walganus in Sangria Palace’s backyard.
He asked, “The Crepe Myrtle Sword Master and Empress Xianna have gone to search for the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and Sangria’s Imperial Jade Seal, but where exactly did they go to find it? Why hasn’t there been any news from them after so long?”
Walganus shook his head and replied, “I don’t know either. Didn’t you already ask General Quinella to spread the word that Sangria will reward anyone who provides information about them? I’m sure you’ll have a hint about the two treasures soon.”
“I hope so…”
James gently massaged his temples.
He missed being on Earth. First, favonovel.com traveled to the Demon Realm, then came to Galileo. He was entirely out of touch with the situation on Earth and was worried that the Third Calamity had struck since so much time had passed.
What was the Earth’s Third Calamity?
Thinking of his home, favonovel.com sighed deeply.
Walganus mistook James’ behavior as being worried about the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and Sangria’s Imperial Jade Seal, so favonovel.com comforted James, saying, “Don’t worry. You can take your time looking for it. I’m sure we’ll find clues about them soon.”
