One-Eyed Monster

After listening to what Lord Governor Rostov said, Igor’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.

It wasn’t because the story was so full of twists and turns, but because everything Rostov mentioned seemed to be something he had experienced.

Moreover, this experience wasn’t long ago; it was during the time at Guru Mountain, just that the narrative was somewhat different.

The shadow Rostov mentioned must be the Spirit Igor encountered at Guru Mountain. And the so-called other world is the one where the Spirit exists.

Igor felt quite amazed, as if something was binding him to that world in the dark.

The last time he entered that world was through digging deep within the Inner World. Now, he thought he could skillfully use the Inner World Spell. However, when he tried to advance further and communicate with that Spirit, he found no response.

Igor gathered his thoughts. Everything happened so suddenly, and there were many things he needed to explore slowly.

He felt that things around him had already been strange enough, and now encountering so many special people...

”Igor?”

Igor hadn’t fully come to his senses. He had been lost in his own thoughts for quite a long time. He rubbed his temples, and then lifted his head. Who was calling him just now?

”Can we leave now?” Stan Sol asked. Apparently, they all felt that the frankness this time had yielded results.

”Don’t you need to discuss things further?” Igor asked, feeling he still had many things unclear.

”I need to see those League Guards invaded by Poisonous Bugs to find out who the mastermind behind all this is,” Stan Sol said, clearly with a flame of revenge already kindled in his heart.

”Young man, you have the Book of Opening the Inner World. If outside, everyone still can’t trust each other, bringing everyone in here once more should suffice,” Rostov said. After revealing the hidden secrets in his heart, he felt a bit relieved. The responsibility he silently shouldered all along was finally about to be revealed to everyone.

”Time is urgent now. The sooner we draw a conclusion, the better it will be for us,” analyzed Perkins. He was a Non-Adventurer, and being able to participate in the world of Adventurers was quite a small miracle.

Everyone now anticipated Igor to end the Inner World.

Igor looked at Stan Sol. He had initiated this Inner World for Stan Sol, to resolve a misunderstanding.

Stan Sol nodded: ”I understand your meaning, but what matters more now is that insect worm.”

Seeing Stan Sol’s attitude put Igor at ease. Although within this Inner World they were supposed to be honest with each other, he knew that Rostov hadn’t revealed everything. What was said was true, but there were things Rostov left unsaid, and the rules couldn’t force him.

From what Stan Sol said to Igor, it was clear he also understood that Rostov was concealing something. However, as Stan Sol had pointed out, finding out the mastermind was the important thing, and Rostov’s minor agenda could be set aside for now.

”Alright, I will slowly send everyone out. I hope once outside, you all can be as honest as you have been inside,” Igor stated, then he closed his eyes and began to release the gathered Spirit Power. The Inner World needed to be released, so he slowly unleashed all the connected Spirit Power.

Upon exiting the Inner World, there wouldn’t be much change in one’s appearance; everything remained as usual.

For instance, at this moment, Stan Sol was still confronting the League Guards and the Thunder Army squad alongside Luona, with no sign of relaxation.

Sol held an absolute advantage, and no one dared to act rashly against him. The honesty displayed within the Inner World had softened his stance, but the defense of the Battle Pet Fiery Blaze still made it impossible for the League Guards to approach.

Igor opened his eyes and walked towards Stan Sol, patting Sol on the shoulder. The tacit understanding between them had long formed, requiring no excess words. Sol then retracted his flames, and in an instant, Hustace was no longer held as a hostage.

The League Guards were utterly bewildered, thinking what exactly was going on, and how could the noble be released so casually; why weren’t they fighting!

Then, a scene that surprised both the League Guards and the Thunder Army soldiers unfolded: Lord Governor Rostov actually walked directly toward Stan Sol...

”Lord, it’s dangerous!”

”Lord, you can’t just go over there!”

”Quickly, protect the Lord!”

...

The League Guards led by Nakasha and Roots were chattering anxiously, fearing any mishap befalling Lord Governor, yet they knew they weren’t a match for Stan Sol and dared not approach hastily.

”No need to worry, prepare the vehicles, we’re heading to Yonder Travel Academy!” Lord Governor Rostov turned back and spoke. Now he knew that something bigger was about to happen, and he couldn’t afford to stay.

Aevernan turned around to arrange for carriages and steam cars immediately. He was the one who understood Lord Governor Rostov the best. Although he didn’t know what had transpired, he realized that Yonder Travel Academy was about to get lively.

”Also, this is their entry guarantee. I’ll write it for you,” Rostov finally gave the Thunder Army a hand-written order for both them and the Access Permit, a rule that had to be strictly enforced without exception.

This earned Perkins’ admiration.

It was a matter of principle, to be strictly adhered to, otherwise the mixture of various characters flooding in would lead to chaos.

At this moment, Stan Sol appeared calm, about to face a complex situation that required mental preparation.

Meeting Tobin was something he always anticipated, and although Tobin couldn’t communicate with him now, just seeing him was already satisfying enough.

Many secrets needed to be unearthed; his kin was still waiting for his news, and he couldn’t disappoint them.

Tobin had originally been their hope, but had now ended up in this state. Regardless of who the mastermind behind it was, the Sol Family would surely remember this grudge.

”Please, help me!” Stan Sol said to Igor, finding it difficult to communicate, he still managed to utter those words with effort.

”Don’t worry, I will definitely help,” Igor responded, not entirely sure where his confidence came from, yet he agreed as if it were the most natural thing.

”Alright, let’s not waste time, quickly go, to Yonder Travel Academy,” Perkins urged from the side, showing adaptability to whichever side he found himself, giving the impression of being completely at ease no matter the situation.

The League Guards, still unclear about the situation, started bustling about again. Orders are orders, after all, and they had to be executed!
