It was already noon when Sean came out of the Sun Crown headquarters.
I guess people in the palace have already started looking for me.
Although his power and status have been unprecedentedly enhanced since he became a prince, his freedom is very limited.
When I came here, I had to explain to the palace guards that I was going to visit the imperial tomb in the Temple of the Sun. Now that so much time has passed, I guess those guards will start looking for me.
"Your Highness, please go back first, otherwise the entire palace will send people out to look for us... The current Sun King has a deep prejudice against us, and we don't want to be discovered by him."
"I know. How can I contact you later?" Sean said suddenly.
A level 17 Orderer, it would be a shame to leave such a person unused.
What's more, Mesula has done research on the ancient gods, and the investigation team he formed with Vanir and others may not be as reliable as the witch in front of him.
"otherwise……"
Mesula glanced around.
Or somewhere under the Temple of the Sun.
Almost no one comes to this area...it's also the best place to hide the entrance.
"Or I can ask Mi'er to follow His Highness when she's able. With her abilities, she can fully guarantee His Highness's safety, and she can also contact me at any time."
The Lady of Thorns?
She's also a level 17 monster, and would be a great subordinate. However, with her look, it would be hard for her to follow me without becoming the focus.
"Her appearance."
"Your Highness, don't worry. Mi'er was once the best scout under the Queen. No one will notice her as long as she doesn't want to be discovered." Mesula assured.
"Oh well."
Mesula said as she placed an egg-sized seed in Sean's hand.
"Your Highness, take him with you. When you return to the palace, you can plant him in a flowerpot or in the courtyard. Mi'er will follow his footsteps. I feel at ease with her by your side...but what your Highness said just now."
"I need you to help me verify those words. I can't tell you where I heard them right now, but what is certain is that when dark matter appears again, Cthugha will return. It will once again rain down fire from the sky to burn the earth."
Sean said.
These messages are constantly told to me by my ability as the "Time Controller".
It was just the same as what Yog-Sothoth told him.
A great existence who could make time completely stand still just by looking at it quietly. It was hard for Sean not to believe what he said. He kept telling himself that these things were not groundless.
Judging from previous situations, Yug would not tell himself useless information.
Since he said that the fireball would return, it must return.
Time itself never lies... Maybe this is another time I should be careful.
"Then where do you think I should look for the answer, Your Highness?" Mesula said, with a look of doubt hanging over his head.
However, he would not refute what Sean, the son of the former chief and the prince of this country, said to his face, but only asked how to find clues.
"The darkness underground, underground..."
Sean originally wanted to go underground to take a look, but where in the desert is considered underground?
"By the way, Your Highness. Do you remember when I bought food for Sha Diao a few days ago, the store manager said that there were a lot of bugs underground recently?" Illya, who had been standing aside without saying a word, didn't understand the conversation between the three people before.
But at this time I finally thought of this.
insect?
"By the way, Mesula. Go to the nearby merchants who provide food for falcons and ask them where they dig out those sandworms. Go to those places and take a look first." Sean instructed.
Every little change has a reason.
When I was in Oro City, I ignored it and was eventually framed and the revolutionary army took advantage of it.
That was a lesson.
Once was enough… Sean didn't want to face it again.
What’s more, the thing that appeared in this omen was a sun!
It feels even more powerful than the one in Old Tacoma. One burst of fire from the sky can burn the earth. If it really returns completely, I wonder if this world can withstand that kind of scorching energy.
"Sand Falcon? Okay, I'll investigate. Your Highness, remember what I just said. If anything happens, tell Mi'er and she will contact me."
"clear!"
After saying that, Sean took Illya and walked back to the Temple of the Sun from another direction.
On the way, Illya still didn't quite understand what had just happened.
After all, she doesn't know any magic... Although there are many stories, they are all stories of ordinary people, and ordinary people rarely get to know the high-level people who truly possess the secrets.
"What did His Highness mean by what he said in the cave just now? Who is Cthugha?"
"Shh!"
Before the other party could say anything, Sean stopped Illya from speaking.
"Don't ever mention this name again. You haven't heard this sentence, nor have you ever been to the Sun Temple headquarters. You just followed me around the nearby mountains and then returned."
Illya nodded with a look of [nervousness!] and [surprise!] on her face.
"There won't be such a name in the future," Sean said.
Unless it actually happens!
Looking at the sky, the brief underground tremor just now made me feel uneasy, and I wanted to hurry back to ask what had happened.
When I returned to the palace, many palace guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw me.
"Where did your highness go just now? We sent people to the Temple of the Sun to look for you, but we couldn't find you. We were so scared that we sent people to look for you."
"Huh? I was just walking around the area."
"but……"
"It's so boring to stay in the palace all day." Sean said.
"Then next time, Prince, you'd better tell us. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to our superiors." Sean had seen the person who spoke many times before. He was a familiar guard.
I guess he is a sergeant in the palace guards. Anyway, I can't pronounce his name, so I just call him a soldier.
"Does my uncle know about this?"
"We haven't dared to report to the Sun King yet. Right now, the High King is in the palace discussing the final response to King Dansu with other ministers."
It's time now.
Dansu's affairs are indeed an important topic of discussion in the palace at the moment.
"Got it." Sean said.
After returning to his own bedroom, he also heard the final way to help Dansu.
In fact, I still retain some of my own opinions... I choose the loan method, but it is an unconditional loan, which means there is no interest.
A certain amount of money has also been fixed. As for protection, troops will be sent for the time being, but Dansu will still be given a certain amount of freedom in the future.
However, these are unimportant to Sean. The most important thing for him at this moment is to investigate whether the conditions for Cthugya's return have been met.
