Chapter 771: Chapter 772: The Name of Fate_1

"You really break my heart by acting like this. Why would I have rushed in here if I weren’t worried about you?"

"That I don’t know."

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, as Gladys slowly descended beside the three, her wings of light dissipating behind her. Dou Yanlan looked at Gladys with a perplexed expression and asked,

"What exactly is your purpose for coming here?"

Gladys pressed her index finger to her lips and revealed a mysterious smile,

"Destiny has guided me here~"

"Ha, do you think we’re fools?"

Feng Yuan looked at Gladys disdainfully and, after fixing his robe, said with a smile,

"In any case, I came here to help you~"

Seeing Dou Yanlan signaling to him, Agunas shook his head and said,

"I hope you don’t do anything that causes us to misunderstand you. You should know that, at times, to ensure there are no accidents..."

"Little Crocodile, are you threatening me~"

After glancing at Gladys and then at Feng Yuan, Agunas said calmly,

"Even though I’m not sure about the powers of that Prophecy Doll on you and how they work, that power is still too little for my concern."

Having said this, Agunas turned and looked around, sighing. Gladys said,

"Metallic temporal device fragments."

"What?"

The crowd looked at Gladys with some confusion, and with a smile, Gladys stroked her long hair and struck a coquettish pose, saying,

"Fate tells me that all this was caused by a man and a temporal device fragment."

"A fragment of the pseudo-World Clock..."

Feng Yuan mused, having previously speculated about such a thing - the only possibility that related to time and was causing trouble lately.

"That, I do not know."

Shrugging her shoulders, Gladys said helplessly, as she indeed did not know what the pseudo-World Clock looked like. Dou Yanlan glanced at Gladys before asking Feng Yuan,

"What should we do now?"

"If we simply try to stabilize the time distortion, we might accidentally pull that thing into the river of time, and since it appeared before us, how can we not retrieve it?"

"Can’t we ask the White Wolf Deity for help?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas said somewhat unconfidently, while Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and expressed his speechlessness,

"Knock it off, aren’t you and Lorraine Tower here enough? How highly do you regard the pseudo-World Clock?"

"But still..."

Agunas was still worried about the pseudo-World Clock fragments that had yet to be dealt with, but after some thought, Feng Yuan said,

"Remember, your Golden Tome Page is an advanced form of that thing. Theoretically, you should be able to counter it."

"I think you should help those people."

Gladys suddenly interjected, prompting Feng Yuan to look at her with some puzzlement and ask,

"Help whom?"

"An old lady and her companions. They seem to be in trouble."

"Granny Mianlan?! How did she get caught up in this?!"

Feng Yuan said, somewhat astonished, while Gladys shrugged and replied,

"I do not know. But that’s the instruction destiny has given me."

"To be able to glimpse into the possibilities of the future even within the time maelstrom..."

Agunas looked at Gladys with some apprehension. Currently, as far as it knew, only the White Wolf Deity possessed such an ability. Neither it nor Lorraine Tower could peer into the future within the time maelstrom because within it, it was impossible to differentiate between past, present, and future. Any point in time could potentially be the past, present, or future.

Only by stepping outside of the World’s River of Time could one observe the past and future within the maelstrom.

"A very peculiar power..."

Feng Yuan appraised Gladys with an inscrutable look on his face and smiled,

"Aren’t you going over there?"

"Let’s go!"

Feng Yuan said, glancing back at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan.

"Who exactly are you?"

A middle-aged blond man in a tailcoat looked at the group warily. Selta looked at the man with some excitement, while Granny Mianlan stepped forward slowly and said,

"My name is Pan Baimi. May I inquire if the master of the manor is present?"

"What do you want from me?"

The blond middle-aged man looked at the old woman in front of him with caution. At that moment, a little girl ran out from the main house behind him, curiously sizing up Granny Mianlan and her entourage, she said,

"Uncle Milon~ who are they~"

Granny Mianlan examined the little girl with an inexplicable expression. After a moment, she sighed resignedly and said,

"Has he already disappeared..."

The color drained from the man’s face as he put the little girl behind him and bellowed,

"Who are you! What exactly is your intention in coming here!"

A resonant eagle cry filled the sky, and streaks of light feathers shot from the heavens, embedding themselves into the earth. Observing the White Eagle that landed in front of the blond middle-aged man, seemingly guarding the two behind him, Granny Mianlan couldn’t help but shed tears and whispered lowly,

"Bai Yu..."

"Who exactly are you!"

The blond man became more vigilant. Another loud eagle cry resonated, and a black eagle descended from the sky, landing in front of Granny Mianlan. It glared discontentedly at the White Eagle opposite, which was much larger, and scratched the ground with its claws. Xiao Ji seemed eager to start a fight before anyone else.

"Xiao Ji, stop."

Granny Mianlan’s voice halted Xiao Ji’s motions. Clearly dissatisfied, Xiao Ji glared at the White Eagle one more time before uttering a few discontented cries. At that moment, Feng Yuan, along with others, came running over, calling out somewhat anxiously,

"Granny, are you alright?"

Seeing the standoff between the black and white eagles, Feng Yuan asked with some bewilderment,

"Who are they?"

"Milon Freyne..."

Li Gui stared at the blond middle-aged man with a complex expression. The little girl peeked out from behind Milon, sizing up this group of unexpected visitors with some confusion. Milon gently pushed the little girl behind him and said,

"Xiao Bai Mei, go back inside first, and I’ll come find you later."

Looking puzzled at Milon, and after hesitating for a moment, Xiao Bai Mei turned and ran back into the main house. Feng Yuan glanced strangely at Selta and Li Gui and asked,

"What exactly are you all up to?"

"It’s nothing... We’re too late..."

Granny Mianlan sighed helplessly, and Li Gui, clenching his fists, gazed at Milon with a sense of loss and said,

"He’s really gone? There’s truly no chance at all? Haven’t you all thought of a way?"

"Li Gui, let’s go..."

"Li En..."

Upon hearing Gladys utter that name, everyone present, except for the three with Feng Yuan, turned towards Gladys in surprise. With a slight smile, Gladys said,

"He seems to be at the core of this temporal chaos, the past and the present are connected because of him. Could you tell us, who is he exactly?"

"You! What do you all want to do!"

Milon shouted angrily, then suddenly, recalling something, he roared furiously,

"Are you sent by the City Defence Army!"

"I’m telling you! They’ll not join you on a suicide mission! You might as well give up on that idea!"

"This estate is mine! It has nothing to do with Li En! If you keep this up, I’ll report you to the Drochkar embassy!"

"So, who exactly is Li En?"

Since it involved a temporal anomaly, Feng Yuan could not help but ask aloud, but no one present answered him. Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him, Agunas shook his head and said,

"I do not have records of him; it’s as if he does not exist in this world..."

"Heh... does not exist in this world, is it..."

Li Gui glared at Agunas with a consuming rage and shouted,

"Then who is responsible for this!"

"So why can no one explain to me what happened? And why are you yelling at Agunas? It just woke up; how can you blame it for things that happened before?"

"I truly don’t believe that this so-called Li En could be a person from the Mythical Era"

Feng Yuan said dismissively, sneering.

"What exactly has happened?"

A middle-aged woman with the air of a lady, somewhat puzzled, came out of the house pulled by Xiao Bai Mei. She saw this group of oddly dressed people.

"Xiao Bai Mei told me that some unwelcome guests had arrived; are they the ones?"

Looking at Granny Mianlan and her group, the well-to-do woman frowned, surveying Li Gui and Selta with a strange sense of familiarity, and her confusion deepened when she saw Granny Mianlan.

"Why have you come as well?"

Lorraine Tower asked Agunas somewhat curiously, being naturally aware that Agunas’s true body was present, which puzzled them.
