Chapter 1356: Chapter 1357: Various Matters

The group wandered around the small town within Verlun Castle, trying various local snacks. Feng Yuan and Long Boduo both ate their fill, while Xiao Ji picked only those that piqued its interest. Qi Chen watched Feng Yuan with speechlessness and said,

"You glutton, aren’t you afraid of overeating?"

"Hehe~ I have a good digestion ability~"

Cotton flicked its tail dismissively and turned its head with a disdainful chirp. At this point, Feng Yuan noticed a small garden nearby and said,

"How about we take a photo there?"

After taking pictures in the small garden, the group decided to rest there, admiring the sunset. Feng Yuan remarked,

"I didn’t expect this place to be affected too."

"Wasn’t that already guessed? But it’s still unknown how much it affects Verlun Castle."

Flicking its tail, Agunas said. Although there were still many tourists here, the shopkeepers seemed worried. After all, when the volcano was about to erupt, Verlun Castle experienced some unusual circumstances. Even now, several areas in the outer castle district are sealed off because of cracks that appeared during the volcanic activity.

This old stone castle, whenever such things occur, makes repairs very difficult. The best and most effective method would be reversing time, but that’s an impossibility since almost no ordinary Temporal Spirit Beast can master that. As for the Divine Beasts? The Verlun family doesn’t have the power to enlist their help.

The Verlun family is likely considering how to repair those cracks. After all, the entire castle, including the outer castle district, is built upon hills. To ensure that the castle’s internal areas are relatively level, there are lifted sections everywhere. If the repairs aren’t done well, fear is that the houses near those cracks will be uninhabitable and unusable.

After all, an accident could cause a collapse at any moment. Although it’s unfortunate such things have occurred, Feng Yuan isn’t thinking of helping, as it’s not really related to him.

As for the main castle? Being an Enlivened Castle, Feng Yuan deemed it unlikely that the tremors would greatly impact it.

"I just wonder if the Omeilia Region might demand reparations from the Divine Land Region because of this."

Dou Yanlan said worriedly, although the focus might be on those nations that attacked Great Xia, Great Xia would be affected as well. At this thought, Dou Yanlan sighed.

Najia pondered and said,

"They probably will, and negotiations are said to already be occurring with the Divine Land Region’s Divine Beasts. However, they’re currently tracking down the perpetrators, so agreeing to reparations isn’t coming easily."

"Haven’t those Divine Beasts figured it out yet?"

Startled, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas, puzzled. Hasn’t this matter been going on for quite some time? Even if those Divine Beasts can’t solve it, what about the Lorraine Tower? As a Time Divine Beast, it should be fully capable of finding the truth through the river of time. Being able to traverse time makes detective investigations a simple task. Can’t even Lorraine Tower handle this?

"Lorraine Tower can’t rewind time around that period due to a special force interfering, but it’s unclear what it is. Also, things are currently problematic on Quine’s side. Although Socrates says an investigation is underway, there’s been no result yet. And naturally, the Divine Beasts of other countries also claim there’s no issue in their protected lands."

"We’re completely at a loss as to who acted, and with those Divine Beasts not cooperating with investigations, Lorraine Tower seems unwilling to get involved. The matter remains unresolved between their arguments."

Agunas said with a headache. Veronia twirled her parasol and looked at Agunas,

"Aren’t you yourself based in the Divine Land Region? Why don’t you investigate?"

"The Power of Time can’t rewind to that period, and with such a vast area in those nations, it’s hard to investigate."

Although Quine is the most suspicious, they’re uncertain if it’s him. After all, there are also small Divine Beasts similar to Agunas who’ve infiltrated and secretly investigated Quine, but found nothing. As for failing to rewind time, Agunas doesn’t know why either.

After all, Feng Yuan’s actions aside, it’s possible that the powers of Eclipse and Xilnais could interfere with the river of time. Combined with that cycle of Earth Energy Circulation’s pollution, neither Agunas nor Lorraine Tower knows the exact cause of the situation.

However, plans to directly view the truth through the river of time fell through—wait a minute, besides this, there might be another place where the truth lies.

"What are you up to?"

Seeing Agunas staring at him, Feng Yuan scratched his head, puzzled at what Agunas intended. Was it thinking of asking him to investigate? Surely it knew he’d refuse.

Flicking its tail, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Let me use the tome."

"What are you going to do?"

Though unsure of Agunas’s intentions, Feng Yuan still took out the pitch-black Ancient Book and tossed it to Agunas, not worried about any ill intent. Not without considering Agunas as a Divine Beast, that thing at most could target the Netherworld; in the real world, besides summoning entities from the Netherworld, it mainly offered benefits similar to a Golden Tome Page.

Taking the pitch-black Ancient Book, Agunas quickly flipped through it, then said perplexedly,

"Why isn’t there a record of the event?"

"Are you kidding?! If there’s a record, it’d be in the official scrolls, this doesn’t handle real-world matters, why would there be a record."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said with exasperation. While he also used that thing as an encyclopedia, logically, there’s no way to cross permissions to query information, right? But to think of using this to uncover the truth, are Agunas and the others truly stuck?

"Is it that troublesome? Simply gather the Divine Beasts and forcibly search through each country, wouldn’t that solve the issue?"

Glancing at Agunas, Veronia said irritably. To her, the troubles and quandaries they faced were self-created. Why be so considerate? Just forcefully investigate. Could Nierlat withstand the combined forces of most Divine Land Region’s Divine Beasts?

"No way, if they attempt it again, the Divine Land Region could completely be annihilated."

Flicking its tail, Agunas said, and Belusir nodded,

"With something that powerful, it’s indeed troublesome. If that thing detonates itself, the whole Divine Land Region could end up in turmoil."

If not for that bizarre contraption making them wary, the investigation wouldn’t have dragged on so long. But naturally, this thing must be found and decisively dealt with. It’s vital to address not just the compensatory matters to other regions, but the existence of anything so dangerous that the Divine Beasts see as something that must be destroyed.

"Figuring out why this thing was created is essential to understanding the full picture."

His gaze turning steely, Agunas said vehemently. The existence of such a dangerous thing will not be tolerated, and currently, all Divine Beasts in the Divine Land Region have paused the extermination of Hunters to solely focus on this investigation. However, the uncooperativeness of those countries frustrates their efforts.

Considering Nierlat never intended to follow the rules from the start, Agunas wondered if they wouldn’t have escalated further were it not for this significant incident. But what exactly does Great Xia, have, that’s worthwhile for them?

"That’s your business. Heh, see how this is?"

"What... are you doing?"

Looking at Feng Yuan dressed in petal-adorned clothing, speechlessly, Xiao Ji shook its body, trying to shake off the petals. However, Feng Yuan controlled them with divine sense. Flapping its wings, an annoyed Xiao Ji chirped at Feng Yuan. Seeing this, Feng Yuan let the petals fly away from Xiao Ji, forming a floral sphere in the air. Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"Don’t you think it’s fun?"

Glaring at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji chirped grumpily. Agunas, rolling its eyes, flicked its tail and said,

"You pranking it again?"

"No way! I just wanted to make some interesting souvenirs. Don’t you think clothes made from petals are fun?"

Looking at Agunas, Feng Yuan tried to defend himself. Agunas flicked its tail and silently stared at Feng Yuan without a word.
