The words of the Nameless ones left Fu Xuan slightly stunned, and a grateful smile soon appeared on her small face.
But as March 7th said, for now, it was best to swallow the pleasantries back into her stomach.
"Follow me. The port ahead is the cavern heaven that seals the Ambrosial Arbor, the Scalegorge Waterscape."
A new term appeared, and Stelle asked curiously, "Explain it in detail?"
"That was originally a cavern heaven managed by the Vidyadhara, said to be an ancient sea paradise transplanted from the Vidyadhara's homeland world."
"Ever since the Ambrosial Arbor was severed by the Reignbow Arbiter in the great war, its root system has coiled and twisted, never truly dying out."
"The Alliance decided to seal the Ambrosial Arbor into the Scalegorge Waterscape and entrust it to the Vidyadhara High Elders for generations to watch over, using the power of the dragon descendants to suppress the Ambrosial Arbor."
"Even by the time conception of the long-life species, too much time has passed since that day; it's unknown if the seal from back then still remains..."
"Even if it does, it probably can't stop that ghostly Lord Ravager of Destruction."
"I have already notified the Seat of Divine Foresight about the current situation. Although Jing Yuan is not here, the status will certainly reach his ears."
Saying this, Fu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
"The situation has already reached a critical moment like eggs stacked in peril, yet we still can't contact him with that set—it's impossible not to feel exhausted..."
"But this one is merely a civil official, not skilled in charging into battle; aside from believing in the general, there is no other way."
The camera suddenly cut to Leon, his thoughtful side profile flawless from every angle.
Many fans secretly praised him in their hearts.
He is so good-looking.
Not only is the modeling beautiful, but the strength is beautiful too.
The next second, everyone concentrated their spirits.
Leon's inner voice began to sound.
"(So that's how it is.)"
"(The seal of Luofu's Abundance miracle is guarded by the Vidyadhara; my previous guesses had almost no errors.)"
"(Ever since the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion, the title of Luofu's Vidyadhara High Elder, Lord Imbibitor Lunae, has become history.)"
"(Replacing it is a Dragon Lady who is skilled in medicine but not in combat.)"
"(...Dan Heng is forbidden from setting foot in Luofu, yet the Stellaron Hunters used Blade to lure him here; what they are scheming is undoubtedly—)"
"(The seal of the cavern heaven where the Ambrosial Arbor is located, or even the suppression of the Ambrosial Arbor itself, requires Dan Heng.)"
"(The undead authority of the current Abundance Path has a similarity to the Permanence Path as if from the same root, yet it is far less pure.)"
"(If Dan Heng is the last Lord Imbibitor Lunae, then as a descendant of Permanence, he possesses the power to seal the Ambrosial Arbor.)"
"(But the body of a High Elder can never be replicated; even if unfortunately deceased, there is still the dragon heart that can be transplanted.)"
"(The one who obtains the dragon heart, assisted by the wondrous method of dragon transformation to refine it, becomes the next High Elder.)"
"(The Immortal Boat cannot expel a contemporary High Elder; it will only expel the Vidyadhara who has shed scales and reincarnated after stripping the dragon heart...)"
"(In other words, Dan Heng must have undergone the molting scale punishment, and the dragon heart has already left his body.)"
"(With that, the biggest question arises—)"
"(With the dragon heart separated and having lost the High Elder's power, why does Dan Heng still appear in the Stellaron Hunters' script, returning to his homeland...?)"
"(He clearly no longer possesses that kind of power, unless... there is some special hidden circumstance.)"
"(Oh, and there is one more question yet to be resolved: why does Blade relentlessly pursue and hunt Dan Heng?)"
"(Whatever, Dan Heng will sooner or later rendezvous with everyone, and Jing Yuan naturally cannot be absent.)"
"(Whether Jingliu stands on the opposite side of Luofu or appears is still unknown, but what can be predicted is that Blade will definitely appear again.)"
"(Who knows... he might already be waiting for Dan Heng somewhere, heh...)"
"(Any questions will have their answers when the time comes.)"
After listening to Leon's inner voice, who knows how many players were shocked by the enormous amount of information.
Is he too terrifying?
Players have a God's perspective, piecing together the story of the Cloud Knight Quintet through various texts and making speculations.
But what about Leon?
He directly linked Jingliu, Blade, Jing Yuan, and Dan Heng all together with just a few words.
Based merely on some clues and intelligence, he deduced so much.
Most importantly, this train of thought was almost equivalent to confirming Dan Heng's past identity.
The tone was hypothetical, and in reality it could be coincidence, but in a game, where are there so many coincidences?
Hypotheses are often truths revealed in advance.
In countless works, this is a very classic hook technique.
Releasing information that is uncertain on the surface but actually the answer to hook people's curiosity, making them unable to resist exploring the truth.
"Turtle turtle, this information density..."
"If Fu Xuan hadn't mentioned the Vidyadhara, and Leon hadn't speculated on Dan Heng's past, I almost forgot about him."
"Good guy, was he really a certain Vidyadhara High Elder?"
"The plot has come this far; it feels like the probability is very high, right? Otherwise, how to explain his horned SP form?"
[To be honest, the probability is indeed high.]
[Then what is the trigger for Dan Heng's transformation.]
[Facing a fatal crisis, revealing his true form to protect companions— isn't that kind of development very reasonable.]
[Reasonable, even reasonable to the point of being clichéd.]
[Clichéd is fine; as long as the presentation is good enough to evoke emotions.]
[Not afraid of clichéd, just afraid that even clichéd segments can't capture the essence.]
[Confronting Phantylia, sealing the Ambrosial Arbor, or perhaps some things we don't know yet.]
[Miss you, Teacher Dan Heng; why hasn't your plot arrived yet?]
"Do you all still remember the plot at the end of the last version's main story?"
"Mom Kafka and Blade arrived at some place, waiting for something."
"Could it be as Leon said, that they are waiting for Dan Heng?"
[Don't dare say it's guaranteed, but at least 90% probability; I believe in Leon's mind—his analysis won't be wrong.]
[With Leon's current character design, the things he speculates are definitely close to the truth.]
Think of the devil and he appears.
Ah Xian had just mentioned Dan Heng, and when Fu Xuan led the Express Crew to the port—
[Switching to Dan Heng's perspective...]
[After bidding farewell to the Ten-Lords Commission judge Xueyi, Dan Heng, under Sushang's lead, arrived with Luocha at the Cloud Knight garrison.]
Sushang: "Um, this is..."
Dan Heng: "This is the Alchemy Commission, adjacent to the cavern heaven of Scalegorge Waterscape."
"So we've arrived; you're quite familiar with this place, huh."
Sushang looked at him with some surprise.
"Judge Xueyi's information is accurate; the Cloud Knights are indeed assembled here, presumably to resolve the Stellaron issue."
"The several military orders received intermittently on the ship halfway also prove the intelligence is correct."
"The Ten-Lords Commission judges have great authority; they can get first-hand information on anything."
"After walking this whole way, I can finally rejoin the team."
"Didn't lie to you, right? Said I'd bring you to a safe place, and I keep my word, though... we took a bit of a detour..."
Sushang laughed awkwardly.
"..." Dan Heng was silent.
His gaze swept over everything in sight, and his brows unconsciously furrowed.
It looked safe enough, but the air clearly lingered with the aura of battle.
Fighting spirit, frenzy... and blood.
Luocha: "Before going to Central Starskiff Haven, I consulted a diviner to calculate the fortune and misfortune of this trip."
"He said to follow and there would be gains, so I shouldn't worry about the direction; just go with the flow and there would be harvest."
"...Uh, what does that mean?"
Sushang's innocent big eyes flickered with pure beauty.
...
