Speaking of which, he seemed to sense the approaching figure and said towards the door, “Teacher, you agree, don’t you?”

At that moment, an elderly man dressed in a white robe slowly walked into the study.

He looked at the map and affirmed, “Indeed, not bad at all.”

Prince Salo looked at the map, his ambitions undisguised in his eyes, and mused, “Since even a mere information merchant could think of this, others must surely have thought of it too. Once these pieces of information from the Rune Highlands get back to the Royal City, I fear my uncles and brothers will swarm here. We must expedite our exploration. If we could successfully find the ‘Olympus Holy Sword,’ all problems would be solved.”

“Mm.”

The old man nodded in agreement but also cautioned, “However, the Rune Highlands are extremely dangerous. Your Highness must take that ‘Prophecy’ seriously…”

Prince Salo, however, was unconcerned, “Prophecies are futures that cannot be changed. If my mother’s prophecy is true and I am to face danger in some adventure, then what difference does it make where I go?”

With a light laugh, he added, “Besides, that prophecy is but a vague indication, not a definite outcome. My fate has always been in my own hands. Besides, I still have you, Teacher, don’t I?”

“…”

Having grown familiar with his disciple’s nature, the old man sighed gently and said no more.

Suddenly, Prince Salo recalled something and asked, “By the way, Teacher, how goes Uncle Andre’s promotion ceremony?”

To ascend to the throne, he needed powerful support.

If his uncle could take that next step, it might even be more reliable than acquiring the ‘Olympus Holy Sword,’ that Royal Holy Artifact.

Upon hearing this, a deeper light surfaced in the old man’s eyes as he replied, “The Augustus Royal Family is the legitimate royal line with a bloodline tradition, so such a ‘nation-extinguishing war’ is of the highest caliber and will yield abundant Plane Laws; it indeed represents a rare opportunity. Once a large-scale war is triggered, the promotion ceremony can also begin…”

Prince Salo’s face lit up with joy, “Yes, it is indeed a good opportunity I hadn’t expected.”

As if already envisioning the outcome of the war, he continued, “There’s intelligence indicating that another Royal Holy Artifact, the ‘Thorn Crown,’ rests in the hands of the current King of Augustus. Tsk, it is a pity that his rule is not yet secure. Once he’s almost done integrating the East Wilderness, I wouldn’t mind trying the ‘Regicide’ approach…”

The old man said, “The overall power of the East Wilderness is indeed too weak to stir up any significant trouble. Nevertheless, we still need to pay attention to some details. According to information from the Holy See, the fall of the Thorny Snake Corps poses a significant issue. It seems someone in the East Wilderness has contracted a high-tier Immortal Aegis Ancestral Spirit…”

Prince Salo replied, “The God Thief White Family is indeed strong, but even an Ancestral Spirit Immortal Aegis won’t change much.”

In his view, the Immortal Aegis was the primary reason for the demise of the Thorny Snake Corps.

However, the old man seemed to perceive something deeper, as he spoke earnestly, “The Immortal Aegis is but one threat. On the contrary, I find the abilities of those people from the East Wilderness to stay hidden more noteworthy. If they could infiltrate the Thorny Snake Corps undetected, it means that these individuals possess perfect disguises… If they hide within our group during the exploration of the Imperial Mausoleum and strike at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Prince Salo frowned slightly upon hearing this.

This detail he had indeed overlooked.

Continuing, the old man added, “The complete annihilation of the Thorny Snake Corps is a lesson. From the known intelligence, that spy used the ‘Substitution Method’ to infiltrate. If I were that spy, a loner who even cracked an S-level difficulty Alternate Dimension, someone crazy, arrogant, and not weak in strength… then knowing the Royal Academy Trial Group has arrived, I’d definitely find a way to make contact. We might have even met him already.”

“Oh?”

Reflecting upon this, Prince Salo’s eyes mirrored his contemplative state, as a chilling gleam flickered within.

Having thought of something, he commanded, “Someone come, reinforce the defenses in the camp and carefully scrutinize every person entering and leaving the camp, especially those of a solitary nature who rarely interact with others!”

No sooner had his words fallen than a guard’s response came from outside the door, “Understood.”
