Chapter 581 Rednos's Aid
“Then we’ll go in first.” Mo Yan understood and took the lead in walking towards the office door, followed closely by Kailin, Zhao Heng, and Zixuan.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to come to Funina's side.
"I'm sorry, Miss Funina, that's just how he is, please don't mind him."
Claire smiled apologetically at Funina and gently comforted her.
Fu Ningna took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable displeasure and slight panic in her heart, and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that I don't know why, even though it's the first time we've met, I have a... really annoying feeling."
That frivolous and teasing attitude made her feel disgusted and uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart, even more so than when she faced Itte's naked malice.
Claire nodded understandingly: "Yes, you're right. After all, even the teacher was annoyed with him back then."
The group arrived at Rek'os's office. Just as they were about to knock, they heard voices coming from inside. At that moment, Sugniel, without any ceremony, pushed the door open and leaned lazily against the doorframe.
"Hey boss, what's all the commotion about today?"
Inside the office, Rek'os stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the snowy scene outside. Hearing the noise, he slowly turned around and calmly glanced at the people standing at the door.
His gaze lingered on Funina for a moment, paused almost imperceptibly, and then returned to its usual indifference.
He wasn't alone in the room. Rednos was leaning against the opposite wall, arms crossed, a familiar smile playing on his lips. Peruvieri stood by the desk, her gaze immediately fixed on Funina, who was peeking out from the doorway, when she saw Mo Yan and the others enter.
The other person saw him, then quickly withdrew their head.
"How many times have I told you, knock before you enter," Rek'os said coldly to Sugnir.
"I know, I know." Sugnir said with a smile, arms crossed, as if he hadn't heard a word. "Oh, isn't this Lord Rednors? What brings you here?"
He turned to Rednos and asked.
Seeing this, Rednos smiled with his arms crossed: "The wind on the glacier is blowing a bit too hard. Please forgive my uninvited visit. But Mr. Sugnir is still the same as always."
Seeing this, Karen's eyes turned cold, and a sense of foreboding welled up inside her.
She leaned close to Mo Yan and whispered, "Am I just imagining things? Why do I get this feeling that these two are kindred spirits when they're together?"
Mo Yan crossed his arms and whispered, "Be confident, get rid of your illusions."
"Now is not the time for you to reminisce." Rek'aos rubbed his forehead, his eyes filled with helplessness yet also a hint of authority, instantly making Sugniel dare not act rashly.
He glanced at everyone and said, "Now that everyone's here, let's get down to business."
"It's about the Fallen God Guild, right?" Claire asked.
Rek'os nodded: "Since diving into the glacier, like a lurking viper, there has been no clear action so far. But the undercurrents have never stopped."
He suddenly looked at Peruvieri, who nodded and walked forward.
“Let me explain this point.” She stepped in front of the crowd. “These past few days, my informants have been lurking around, watching their every move.”
"Just recently, a huge machine suddenly appeared on the mountain. I went to see it. It was deeply rooted and somewhat similar to the earth vein collection device of the Sangyang people back then, but much smaller in scale. When Lord Tianlang heard about it, he volunteered to take on the task of monitoring the area."
“I see. That explains why I haven’t seen that kid lately,” Karin said.
“That’s not the point. The point is that machine,” Mo Yan said. “The Fallen Gods’ Guild wouldn’t make baseless accusations. According to Miss Peruvieri, they are likely going to collect something on the mountain. And given their past behavior, the energy they collect is either used to cause natural disasters or to create even more dangerous things.”
They had witnessed the Fallen God Guild's methods more than once. The tsunami in the Three Harbors, the insect plague in the Sand Ridge, Ling Huang's thunderstorm... each time was aimed at devastating destruction. Especially Ling Huang's time, he used the Thunder Lord's wrath to create the terrifying Thunder Bird, Animiki, and even the token was almost taken away.
"Add to that the Dimensional Shadow Stones they stole from us in the Abyss when we weren't looking, and if we combine that with what they're going to collect, the monsters they create will probably be even more dangerous than Animiki," Zhao Heng said.
Rek'os nodded: "That's right, so we can't afford to be complacent. We must plan the operation in detail and destroy the device before it's fully activated."
At this point, he suddenly looked coldly at Rednos and said, "Fortunately, this Shadow Guardian has brought 'his own' reinforcements."
Rednos met his gaze, his smile unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed the hidden meaning in his words.
"Of course, things in the Abyss must have a beginning and an end. Besides, it's always good to have more manpower to deal with these uninvited 'guests'."
He crossed his arms and looked at Mona and Funina at the doorway, continuing to speak.
"Furthermore, besides Mona and Miss Funina, I have also invited an assistant that you would never expect."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Rek'os crossed his arms, his expression unchanged.
"One of the Six Evil Saints, the Demon Dragon Caesar."
As Rednos finished speaking, the office fell into a brief silence.
Sugniel was slightly surprised, as if he found it more interesting.
Claire and Mo Yan, among others, showed expressions of surprise. Peruvier, though expressionless, had her pupils slightly contracted.
Rek'os scoffed dismissively, as if he had expected this and was used to it.
“Caesar? You actually managed to get that hot-tempered guy to come? I remember he’s not interested in anything except fighting and sleeping,” Sugnir said.
Rednos shrugged and said with a smile, "There are always exceptions. Especially when it comes to a common 'enemy.' The good deeds the Fallen God Guild has done in the Abyss and in Rin's Radiance have long been unacceptable to some 'old guys.' I just... happened to provide them with an opportunity to stretch their muscles."
Caesar, the Dragon King, is the most violent and powerful of the Six Evil Saints. He slumbers in a volcano and rarely intervenes in worldly affairs, but if provoked, his destructive power is enough to change the very fabric of nature. Being able to enlist his help against the Fallen Gods' Guild is indeed a formidable and undeniable asset.
Rek'os's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Rednos. His icy blue eyes revealed no emotion, only a bottomless pool of coldness.
"Even so, we cannot let our guard down. The Fallen Gods Brigade is cunning and adept at setting traps and contingency plans. That device may just be a decoy."
His gaze shifted to Peruvier and Clévius: "You two are responsible for continuing to monitor the device's movements and mapping out the surrounding terrain and potential ambush points. Once Caesar arrives, Sugnir will be in charge of receiving him and communicating with him. Remember, I need concrete intelligence, not risky guesses."
