Just when Xia Duo was thinking about the choice and secretly making a decision, the transmission was completed, and eight familiar figures appeared in the projection hall out of nowhere.
As soon as these people appeared, they restricted the surrounding magic network environment. Xia Duo was aware of this. He frowned but said nothing.
"Xia Duo, tell me what you know and the leaders of the Seven Towers."
The person who spoke first was none other than Iolum, the first person Sha Duo contacted.
He first glanced around the projection hall, and then walked up to Xia Duo, intentionally or unintentionally separating Xia Duo from the other seven people. He didn't have any intention of asking for trouble, and his tone was quite defensive.
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo's thoughts surged in his mind. He had doubted this teacher just now, but now was he wrong, or was the other person too good at pretending?
Looking at the other great arcanists, except for Skum, who was obviously a little frightened and angry, Shado didn't see many explicit emotions on the faces of the others.
For a moment, he really couldn't tell what these people were thinking, so he followed Iolum's words and began to explain: "The thing is like this -
"This morning I went to visit Lesen Leader. Because I talked about a secret matter, I invited Mr. Cliff. After some exchanges, we decided to go to the star realm to explore a secret place together. This time was probably at dusk.
"After that, we each came to Sevington. I first went to the Alfa Union to meet the teacher and asked about some matters regarding star exploration, and then came here.
"The Star Boundary Exploration was initiated by Mr. Cliff, and one of the participants was Mr. Thorne, the Eternal Holy Spirit. The three of us set out from here to go to the Star Boundary together. Later, we were attacked by indigenous hunters. As agreed, I returned first.
"As soon as I came back, I saw Mr. Cliff turned into ashes in front of my eyes. I was very shocked that such a big thing happened. I immediately informed the teacher. I think everyone knows what happened next."
Except for the Ruins of Dreams and the Resurrection Spell, which Shado didn't say, he said everything else that could be said. As for whether the great arcanists of the Seven Towers believed it or not, he wasn't sure.
After Sha Duo finished speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and remained silent. Others, including Iolum, did not continue to ask questions, but only used their own methods to check Cliff's relics.
After a while, Randall was the first to express his opinion: "He didn't lie, and Cliff is indeed dead!"
"How is this possible? A great arcanist just died during a star exploration?"
"Isn't it too late to escape back to the main plane even if there is an ectoplasmic projection incarnation?"
"With Thorn here, something like this still happens, hehe!"
…
As soon as several of the great arcanists opened their mouths, they steered the topic towards conspiracy theories, especially Harris from Fenwick Tower, who almost made it clear that this matter had something to do with Thorne.
On the contrary, the only survivor of this incident suddenly became an outsider.
Upon hearing Harris's groundless accusation, the newly appointed leader of Giles Tower, Skoum, suddenly changed his face and angrily shouted: "Harris, I have always respected you as a wise elder in the past, but I didn't."
To think that you would make such unintelligent remarks!
"You and I know very well what kind of existence Thorn is. He did not choose Fenwick Tower at the beginning, but chose Giles Tower. Is it really because of his background?"
"cough--"
Chateau was listening with interest, but unexpectedly, Badigal suddenly interrupted Skoum, and the others also stopped around the two of them, with many words of persuasion.
"You two, in this situation, what we should consider most is how to deal with the aftermath, instead of making a fuss over something that has no impact at all!
"The death of a great arcanist is no small matter, let alone one with a special status like Cliff, and he died in Giles Tower. There must be an explanation for this matter!"
After the princess left, Badigal's prestige was not small. His words quickly made Scoum and Harris calm down a little, but Harris still had many problems:
"Isn't investigating the cause of death the aftermath? In this situation, we need a clear result that can withstand the inspection of others! Hum, I think Skum is still too young, why not ask Master Byron how to deal with it?
!”
"you--"
Skum snorted coldly, but did not continue to say anything. Instead, he glanced at Xia Duo silently at last. This glance made Xia Duo feel bad. If he was also angry at himself, he would be too petty!
"Okay, stop saying a few words!"
Badigal's face was obviously unhappy. When was this, what occasion was this, and he still had such little thoughts. He glared at Harris fiercely, and then asked Randall:
"Randall, what do you think about this?"
"Although what Lord Shado said is true, it may not reflect the entire truth. Whether it is a conspiracy theory or an accident theory, it is impossible for a great arcanist to die so easily. I think it is necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation.
."
At the end of the sentence, Randall turned the topic to Shado again. He walked slowly to Shado, nodded slightly to Iolum, and then asked:
"Lord Shado, you just said that you and Cliff went to explore a secret place in the star world. Can you tell us what kind of secret place it was? And you said that you encountered the native hunters of the star world. What kind of hunters were they? Could it be that
Even Thorn and Cliff can't handle it?"
"this--"
Xia Duo glanced at Iolum, and when he saw the other party nodded slightly, he continued to explain: "The previous question, the secret place we are going to, Mr. Cliff calls it the 'Dream Ruins', where exactly is it and what is it?
As for the situation, before I even got there, I encountered an accident and returned to the main plane. I can't answer this.
"As for the situation of the hunters, Lord Thorn seems to have some understanding of those hunters, but he did not explain me to me. Lord Cliff may also know, but now he...
"I only know that those hunters hunt in the star realm in small teams, and are good at tracking and close combat. Only the hunters we encountered, I don't think they can harm Thorne and Cliff, but
I’m not sure about their subsequent reinforcements, and—”
"And what?" Randall immediately asked, and others immediately turned their attention to Xia Duo.
Xia Duo was not panicked by this, but there were some things that he couldn't understand, and he didn't know how to speak. After thinking about it, he asked everyone a question:
"If - I mean if - Mr. Cliff stayed there for two more days after I left the star realm, would we return to the main plane together?"
This question is actually terrifying to think about. Xia Duo didn't even want to think about such a question in the past, but now that something happened and it still fell on him, he had to think about it.
