Chapter 442: Chapter 442 Bola and Bolate_1

Staring at Feng Yuan for a long time, the middle-aged man seemed hesitant to explain, until Jenna spoke up from the side

"Uncle Bolate, this shouldn’t be a secret that can’t be spoken of, right?"

With a sigh, Bolate laughed self-deprecatingly and said,

"Indeed, perhaps there’s no need to keep this secret after all."

Sitting back at the desk, Bolate supported his head with his hands as he looked at everyone and said,

"This all began with something that happened when I was a child."

"Once, we were just like ordinary people, until we encountered it..."

Bolate said with a complex expression.

"It gave us powerful design abilities, though my ability only applies to architecture, and it also made me see the cruel reality..."

"It also told us some truths that ordinary people couldn’t possibly know."

Bolate stood up, walked to the window, and gazed out at the fog as he said,

"The Divine Lords we usually refer to are so insignificant in front of true gods, and they shoulder the responsibility of guarding the world."

"Although it didn’t tell us much more, I could guess that there are many invaders in this world."

"Then why don’t you..."

After glancing at Jenna, Bolate smiled and said,

"Who do you think I could ask for help? Those tourists? They’re just here to visit and might not encounter any danger, but if I ask them for help, do you really think they could escape from here?"

"But..."

"If you don’t have strength comparable to that of Lorraine Tower, you better go back early, it’s not something you can defeat."

Feng Yuan glanced at Najia with a smile and said,

"You seem to underestimate Najia. I believe that even without the White Wolf Deity’s intervention, it can handle the opponent."

"White Wolf Deity? I don’t recall it ever mentioning that, it probably hasn’t reached the height of Lorraine Tower."

"In that case, you’d better leave quickly; you should be able to avoid them from here and get out of this place."

Bolate said while pulling out a book from the bookshelf beside him, casually tore out a few pages, and stuffed them into Jenna’s hands saying,

"You quickly take them and leave, it won’t be long before they find out about your visit here."

"But..."

Jenna looked hesitant, and Feng Yuan sighed,

"We’re really not afraid of them, we only came to find if there might be any secret passages leading into the castle."

Feng Yuan said and turned around with a hint of regret,

"It looks like we’ll have to force our way through the main entrance."

"You... are you really determined to go?"

Feng Yuan turned his head towards Bolate and said,

"Otherwise, what?"

"Well... alright, I’ll give you the map of the castle’s secret passages, but if you find yourselves overpowered by the opponent, you must leave immediately. Don’t fight a hopeless battle there..."

Bolate said as he pulled out another book from the bookshelf, about to hand over the drawings to Jenna when he suddenly remembered something and said,

"If you’re going through the secret passages, you’ll need to find Bola, I only have the blueprint here. He set up the mechanisms inside, and I’m not sure where the traps might be."

"Uncle Bola..."

Jenna whispered as she held the blueprint. That’s when she saw that the torches outside seemed to be converging towards this place, Bolate hurriedly said,

"You better leave fast, they seem to have noticed something’s off here."

"Let’s go."

Feng Yuan said, and then looked back at Bolate again,

"The one who gave you the abilities, was it Ernis?"

"How did you know!"

Bolate asked in surprise, but by that time, Feng Yuan had already left the room.

"Why would Ernis give humans abilities?"

Qi Chen asked with some confusion, and Feng Yuan waved his hand saying,

"How would I know, I’m not a worm in its stomach."

"But how did you guess it was Ernis?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said,

"It’s quite simple. In the Omeilia Region, the Divine Beast with authority over construction and mechanisms is the only one, other than that, there’s no alternative."

"Gujien isn’t?"

Feng Yuan gave Qi Xiaoshuang an exasperated look and said,

"Gujien is a modern Divine Beast. It wasn’t even born in the Dynasty Era, let alone the fact that Gujien presides over weapons. Its special ability is to transform into various existing weapons, which is different from mechanisms."

"But Ernis is about the authority of creation, right?"

"Ernis can create non-living mechanical entities. Do you think mechanisms and buildings are included in that?"

Qi Xiaoshuang said, somewhat displeased,

"Your explanation is a bit..."

"After all, it’s the Guardian Beast of the region. They typically have rather extensive authority. Where to next?"

Descending to the basement, Feng Yuan curiously looked at Jenna, who pulled out some schematics and reviewed them before saying,

"We go this way, the kitchen has a secret passageway leading to Bola’s workshop."

"The kitchen? The relationship between those two must be really good."

"But it makes sense; after all, they are people who received Ernis’s blessing together. They’re bound to be closer."

Feng Yuan said with a smile.

"Jenna?! How did you get here?"

"Um, Uncle Bola, I need your help with something."

Jenna said, slightly embarrassed, to Bola, who was clad in pajamas. After listening to Jenna’s explanation, Bola responded with a grave expression,

"I’m aware of this matter. After all, Bolate once talked to me about it, but since I discovered that I couldn’t leave, I haven’t found any particularly good solutions."

"Thanks for the gift~"

Feng Yuan suddenly said something weird to Bola, making everyone puzzled. Jenna was the first to catch on, smiled at Bola and said,

"He recognized the tools in your cabin. At that time, I thought there were two of you, so I took the liberty of giving that set of tools to him..."

"Which set of tools?"

Bola asked, puzzled. That’s when Feng Yuan took out the tools he had acquired from Bolaon’s cabin and said,

"These are the fine tools crafted from Starsteel."

"Oh, that set. Since you recognized them, giving them to you is actually the best outcome for them," Bola said, smiling and walking over to a workbench to pick up a set of tools exactly like the ones in Feng Yuan’s hands.

"The set I left there was useless to me; it could only gather dust. I believe you will take good care of the tools."

"Of course~"

"However, if you’re talking about the schematics for mechanisms, I actually don’t have them here. I only created those mechanisms, but how and where to arrange them was their own doing."

Hearing Bola’s words, Jenna looked disappointed, but then Bola said with a smile,

"It’s not like there’s no solution at all. Although I’m not quite sure where all the mechanisms were placed, I can accompany you to the Divine Stone Chamber. No matter how well they’ve hidden the mechanisms, they can’t escape my eyes."

"Just give me a moment; I’ll get dressed and grab my tools."

After a short while, Bola, now dressed in practical work clothes suitable for action, told everyone,

"Let’s go. If they discover us, they might move the Miracle Stone away, and that would complicate matters."

Following the directions on the schematics, the group snuck past the guards and quietly infiltrated Noscarte Castle through the underground secret passageways.

"Stop, there’s a mechanism here."

Bola told the group earnestly as he cautiously manipulated the tools in his hands. After a while, Bola wiped off sweat and said,

"Done, it’s taken care of."

But not long after proceeding further, Bola discovered another trap. This time Feng Yuan took out his tools and said,

"Let me help."

"Can you?"

Bola looked at Feng Yuan with concern, but seeing him casually fiddle with the mechanism and identify its core, Bola said with a smile,

"I didn’t expect your expertise in mechanisms to be so high. It seems my tools won’t go to waste with you."

A little later, facing another mechanism, Feng Yuan seemed increasingly impatient. Qi Chen sensed something was wrong with Feng Yuan’s mood and felt a sense of foreboding; indeed, after disarming a few more mechanisms, Feng Yuan said somewhat angrily,

"I’m done playing! Let’s fix this with magic!"

As Bola looked on in confusion, the White Wolf Deity slowly moved to the front of the group and unleashed a powerful blast of cold air, instantly freezing the entire passageway. The flickering candle flames were sealed within solid ice. Bola, in disbelief, relied on the light Feng Yuan summoned, stepped forward and tapped the ice with his tools.
