Pillar of Yita

...

In one corner of the hall, Lady Papamo watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but click her tongue: "This fellow is truly extraordinary. A hero again, and he killed Toragotos. Now he's the prophesied one too."

He shook his head: "I think the Captain's hopes are slim this time."

The Papalarians looked at each other: "Should we think of another way then? Is the Heart of Fairy absolutely necessary?"

Everyone fell silent.

Tianlan, Gita and Luo Yu all appeared somewhat worried, while Ai Xiaoxiao looked rather nervous.

Only Tang Xin and Miss Hilveld were looking in that direction, their eyes both showing a glimmer of pondering light. Just then, Fang Hong suddenly said: "Miss Hilveld, there's something wrong with that person."

Miss Hilveld was slightly startled and turned back to look at him: "What do you mean?"

"I can't say for sure," Fang Hong shook his head weakly, recalling the earlier scene, he then replied: "Earlier, I sensed a similar aura on him as below the surface in Fenris. I'm not sure what the Dragon's Mark left by the Numelin Elves would be like, but it's definitely not that power—"

"A similar aura beneath Fenris?"

"I've only sensed similar power on Nikopolas, Toragotos, and that Lizardman Deity."

"Dark Ether." Miss Hilveld's eyes flashed for a moment, and she immediately reacted: "You're saying he might be connected to the Dragon Worship Sect, meaning—"

Fang Hong nodded: "Toragotos might not be dead."

"Ah, then isn't he lying? We must expose him!" Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim.

"But the problem is," at this point, Tang Xin turned back: "How do we expose him?"

"Isn't it simple?" Ai Xiaoxiao answered confidently: "Didn't he use Dark Force? As long as cousin stands out and exposes him, it can be done."

"Little Princess, your thinking is quite simplistic," Tang Xin lightly shook her head: "I guess it's not that easy. Earlier, besides this Pigeon, who else could sense it was Dark Force? Let's leave me and Ai Xiaoxiao out of it, what about you guys?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"I don't understand the power system of your world very well, but it's obvious—if he dares to use such power in public, it means he must have some reliance," Tang Xin calmly analyzed: "Not only can you not prove this, but you also can't prove he isn't the person from the prophecy."

Everyone fell silent, unable to prove it was Dark Force, they also couldn't prove it wasn't the ability of the Dragon's Mark; and besides the Dragon's Mark, what other power could replicate the Numelin Elves' Alchemy?

In fact, there isn't none.

Miss Hilveld and Fang Hong both thought of the same place at this moment.

"Non-Attribute Crystal."

The Type-One Crystal could also be said to be an Elf Legacy, coincidentally, it was also a type of Alchemy Technology that mortals can master.

Even the mortals it referred to can be those completely without attribute suitability, once it is spread, its impact would be no less than the magic taught to the Numelin Elves by the ancient Dragons.

Perhaps this was the 'Dragon's Mark' left to mortals by the Numelin Elves.

Fang Hong couldn't help but have a peculiar thought; his encounter in the Elf Ruins, was it really just a coincidence?

What does the so-called Spire Master truly signify?

He snapped back to reality, staring into Miss Hilveld's eyes that were as deep as the shallow sea, both clearly having the same thought. Undoubtedly, as long as he could produce the Elf Legacy of the Type-One Crystal, it could show the other party might not necessarily be the prophesied one.

Because at least at this moment, there were already two 'Dragon's Marks'.

"No, you can't," Tang Xin clearly saw through his thoughts and decisively said: "The Type-One Crystal is the most crucial secret for you, cousin, it mustn't be revealed to anyone outside this team for now, or it will only bring bigger troubles."

Her tone was so firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Even Tianlan couldn't help but tug Gita, whispering: "Brother Ade's sister is really amazing."

Gita nodded in strong agreement.

Fang Hong also nodded in response; he naturally understood, particularly that this secret should not be revealed before those connected to the Dark Giant Dragon.

While he initially had such a thought, he quickly calmed down. The Type-One Crystal's secret must be kept until the day it can serve a greater purpose, rather than used here to contest the ownership of the Rose Workshop.

"Then what should we do now?" Ai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, already completely considering herself as part of the Seven Seas Travel Group, without the least sense of being an outsider.

Miss Hilveld slightly furrowed her lovely brows, softly replied: "Since Lord Captain believes that person is associated with the Dark Giant Dragon, Delice's father must also be included in the suspicion. The current situation has changed somewhat from our previous consideration, so we have to rethink our plan."

"Delice's father?" Fang Hong couldn't help being a bit surprised: "Miss Hilveld, isn't that suspicion a bit over the top?"

He had a fairly good impression of Delice and the Uncrowned Crown.

"It's just a possibility, Lord Captain." Miss Hilveld replied.

"But..."

Miss Hilveld just smiled sweetly: "Lord Captain is great at everything, except being too easy to trust strangers."

"Especially women." Tang Xin suddenly added a jab.
