With that threat, the bald man ran away.
Philip’s expression darkened. He glanced at the people watching the fun in the distance and shouted coldly, “Anyone else wants to try?”
Those people snorted, turned around, and went on with their own business.
Philip stood for a while before turning around and entering the dormitory. Fennel and the others were already resting on the beds, while 17 was polishing favonovel.com scimitar.
“How was it?” Fennel asked while lying on the bed with his head pillowed in his arms.
Philip sat on his bed and said, “I tested them. They’re so-so…”
“Who do you think sent them?” Fennel got up and asked.
Philip thought for a while and said, “We just arrived and didn’t really run into anyone. Either Commander Greene wants to test our strength, or the group of people who tried to kill us earlier want to spread the rumors on purpose.”
“Are you referring to Reynold?” Fennel asked with a frown.
“Bingo!” Philip nodded, got up, and said, “Do you still remember the location of the stargate?”
Fennel shook his head and said, “Not really. When I first came in, I discovered that everything here has changed, including the strength of the defense and the garrison point. I’m not entirely sure if I can even find the entrance, but I can give it a try.”
Philip pondered and said, “Okay, let’s try to find the location of the stargate tonight.”
Fennel was startled and said, “Are you crazy? You want to find the location of the stargate just like this?”
Philip frowned and said, “I can’t help feeling that the atmosphere here is weird. I want to get to the bottom of it. Besides, since the Lovelace family lured me to Cochly Mountain on purpose, their aim is for me to approach the stargate. Once I do so, the Lovelace family will definitely show up.”
Fennel frowned and said, “But isn’t it a little hasty for you to do this? We don’t even understand the basic situation here or the division of forces. If they find out, it’ll be difficult for us to justify our actions…”
“Commander Greene’s reminder was also quite obvious. He was warning us not to cross the line.”
Philip looked at Fennel and said, “If you have any concerns, you don’t have to go. I can go alone. You can draw me a map.”
Fennel’s eyes darkened as favonovel.com said, “You know I don’t mean that. We need to plan this out carefully.”
Philip sighed and said, “We don’t have much time left…”
Hearing this, Fennel thought about it and said, “Okay, I’ll go with you tonight.”

Back to the five marquises. At this moment, they had brought Janike back to the vicinity of the stargate.
Janike looked at the ancient and deep passage shrouded in the distance and the dark stargate that seemed to have existed since ancient times.
She pouted and said, “Grandpas, can I still go out and look for Philip?”
Marquis Fulmore smiled, stroked Janike’s head dotingly, and said, “Of course, you can. Go on now…”
When Janike heard this, favonovel.com smiled and walked toward the stargate.
