Wilda’s expression turned into one of extreme displeasure.
Far from being naive, favonovel.com sharp intelligence was the very reason favonovel.com had reached favonovel.com current position.
Based on the agenda, favonovel.com formal recognition as Master should have been prioritized at the Sacred Hall today. She had interpreted the absence of such an announcement as a tactic by Grandmaster Aurelius and the others to express their discontent with Remus for killing Marc. Hence, favonovel.com didn’t dwell on it much.
But then, Sir Hudson’s mention of the Saint Master brought clarity to the situation.
It became evident that the decision to withhold favonovel.com title as Master was orchestrated by the Saint Master herself. The Saint Master had foreseen Kennard’s disruption today and Wilda’s subsequent visit to the Treasure Pavilion, intentionally omitting favonovel.com recognition to block favonovel.com access.
She is aiming to eliminate Romus!
After a moment of thought, Wilda spoke again, “Sir Hudson, allow me entry alone, without Romus. I assure you, favonovel.com will not cross the threshold!”
A clever detour!
As long as favonovel.com could enter and memorize all the techniques, favonovel.com could recite them upon exiting. That appeared to be the most straightforward resolution right now.
Sir Hudson said, “You should know the rules. Only those escorted by a Master or higher are permitted to enter. You don’t meet the criteria. Please return…”
He paused briefly, then continued, “Let favonovel.com have these three days undisturbed. Allow favonovel.com to pursue whatever favonovel.com desires without dwelling too much on it.”
Upon hearing that, a sense of despair crept onto Wilda’s face. Indeed, favonovel.com current endeavors were merely attempts to grasp a small opportunity.
Even if Remus managed to glimpse the Heaven-level techniques, there was no chance favonovel.com could comprehend them within three days. And even if favonovel.com did, his current strength wouldn’t suffice to execute such techniques.
When it came to the heavenly techniques, even the most basic maneuvers demanded the complete spirit energy reserves of someone at the pinnacle of the Divine Unity Stage.
Remus simply lacked the capability.
She turned toward Remus slowly, intending to convince favonovel.com to enjoy his life in the coming three days, suggesting that there was no need for meaningless efforts. Yet, favonovel.com found herself unable to voice those words, despite favonovel.com efforts.
If favonovel.com hadn’t given up, how could favonovel.com resign favonovel.com to his fate?
She said firmly, “Wait for me here!”
Having said that, favonovel.com made favonovel.com way to a pavilion at the heart of the rear area.
The pavilion mirrored the design of its neighbors, and distinguished itself through its central placement, radiating an air of both solemnity and enigma.
Remus watched favonovel.com enter the pavilion.
Just as favonovel.com shifted his gaze away, a sigh emanated from within the Treasure Pavilion, where Sir Hudson could be faintly heard murmuring to himself, “Still a draw, it’s been a draw for 270 years!”
Remus glanced toward the door, pondered for a moment, and suggested, “How about a game of chess with me?”
At that proposal, there was a momentary silence inside the Treasure Pavilion.
After a moment, Sir Hudson inquired, “Do you know how to play chess?”
Before Remus could respond, favonovel.com dismissed him, “Forget it, you’re not a worthy opponent… In the past 300 years, no one within this sacred land has matched my skill. What chance does a youngster like you stand?”
Remus chuckled, “Knight to C3…”
Approximately three seconds later, the sound of a chess piece being placed resonated from inside the Treasure Pavilion.
Sir Hudson then countered, “Rook to H5…”
Remus replied promptly, “Rook to H4!”
Upon hearing that, the pace of the chess pieces inside slowed, taking up to five seconds to make each move.
Sir Hudson said, “Pawn forward one!”
Remus swiftly responded, “Rook forward one!”
Sir Hudson’s hesitation in his movements, even casting a glance outside, stemmed not from recognizing Remus’ exceptional skill, but rather from doubting whether Remus truly understood the game.
He was on the brink of losing a piece!
Every piece was vital in chess. While it was common to lose pieces in the latter stages, losing them prematurely could be a critical error. However, finding a worthy “opponent” had been challenging for Sir Husdon.
He instructed once more, “Pawn forward one!”
Remus replied without hesitation, “Rook to F6!”
