“Do you know that your appearance in Cochly Mountain has attracted the attention of many people?” Marquis Fulmore asked.
Philip frowned and said, “I know…”
Marquis Fulmore sighed and said, “I know what you‘re thinking. Your recklessness will ruin the overall plan. Cochly Mountain is not as simple as you think. The forces here are many and complicated, and everyone serves their master loyally. If you act impulsively, you’ll most likely offend some people behind them. When the time comes, I can’t stop them if they want to do anything to you.”
Philip frowned and said, “Even a powerful half-step to the other shore like you are afraid of those people in the dark?”
Marquis Fulmore turned around, glanced at Philip with a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes, and said, “To many people, a half-step to the other shore can practically rule over a country single-handedly. But in Cochly Mountain, strength doesn’t mean everything…”
“The scheming and chess game behind this, as well as the intricate forces, are the factors that limit us. Although we’re a half-step to the other shore, in many cases, we have to consider the situation and the consequences before we take action.”
As Philip listened, his expression darkened. He suddenly asked, “Marquis Fulmore, are you here at this late hour just to tell me not to act alone in Cochly Mountain?”
Marquis Fulmore smiled and said, “I’ve said my piece. What you choose to do is up to you. Also, I’ve heard some rumors about Wynn Johnston. Not long ago, the Lovelace family did arrange for a group of people to enter Cochly Mountain, but we don’t know where they are now. They may have sneaked into the main city or are stationed outside Cochly Mountain. As for whether Wynn is among these people, I don’t know.”
Hearing this, Philip scowled and said, “Are you sure that the Lovelace family has entered Cochly Mountain?”
Marquis Fulmore nodded and said, “Yes. Their arrival is related to you, so I don’t want you to act recklessly because once anything unnecessary happens, I can’t take care of you…”
“In addition, about Reynold, I can tell you with certainty that the force behind favonovel.com is not the Lovelace family but Heavenly Court.”
‘Heavenly Court?!’ Philip’s eyes were stern. He had overlooked this existence!
“Has the forces of Heavenly Court penetrated Cochly Mountain too?” Philip asked, somewhat surprised.
Marquis Fulmore sighed, put his hands behind his back, and said, “The history of Heavenly Court may be on par with Cochly Mountain. Their forces have even penetrated the royal palace before, so it’s no surprise if you can find them in Cochly Mountain.”
At this point, Marquis Fulmore turned to Philip and said, “You have to remember that in here, there are no friends and no enemies, only interests. Everyone exists for benefits, be it for themselves or the master they serve. You have to watch your every step…”
Philip nodded and said, “I just want to find Wynn’s whereabouts and clues.”
“Why did you go to the stargate, then?” Marquis Fillmore asked.
Philip said, “I want to know more about the stargate and to unravel the chess game that always seems to surround me.”
Marquis Fulmore nodded and said with a smile, “The time isn’t ripe yet. When it is time, you can see the stargate.”
“When?” Philip asked.
Marquis Fulmore looked up at the sky and said, “One month later, the time will come. During this time, I want you to be fully prepared.”
“One month later?” Philip was puzzled.
Marquis Fulmore explained, “The Imperial Preceptor has just issued a notice. One month later, 70 talents in the country will gather. The stargate will be forced open and we’ll send them to the other shore for training…”
Boom!
This remark exploded in Philip’s mind.
They wanted to select candidates and send them to the other shore for training?
“Why?” Philip asked.
Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. According to the previous plan, the talent selection should be carried out one year later, but it has been brought forward one year earlier, and everything is done in a hurry too…”
“I can’t help feeling that a big change is happening, and only the Imperial Preceptor, your father, and those few supreme powerhouses know about this change.”
