If the other forces of the foreign world saw this scene, who knew what they would think.
Nota could not believe it.
“It’s like all the High-ranked geniuses have gathered here.”
The Dark High Priest said without turning his head, “Yes, it is true. 40 percent of the High-ranked geniuses have gathered here. The remaining 60 percent have either died, disappeared, or surrendered to the Dark Magi.”
Nota was completely shocked. He asked, “What exactly happened? Why did the Otherworld retreat so quickly?”
The Dark High Priest gritted his teeth and said, “Master Kelly was held back by the Dark Magi’s Alliance Leader. There was no news for several months. Then, the two of them joined forces with the other two divine-tier experts from the Dark Magi and almost killed Teach. If it wasn’t for Master Kelly breaking through void space in time to save Teach, the consequences would have been unimaginable. However, the day of our counterattack is far away.”
After hearing what the Dark High Priest said, Nota’s mood was extremely heavy. He patted the Dark High Priest’s shoulder and said, “We will wait until that day.”
The Dark High Priest nodded.
Nota and the high priest soon arrived before the Dark High Priest and the others. The Dark High Priest gave Akari and the high priest a look, and the two of them immediately understood and turned to leave.
After the Dark High Priest confirmed that the two of them had left, he said, “Tell me about the situation in the Northern Region.”
Nota nodded and told everyone about the situation in the Northern Region.
After hearing Mike and Little Jerry’s many years of struggle, everyone could not help but show some admiration.
The Dark High Priest said, “Master Kelly, this disciple of yours is really not simple. Close to 100 heaven-tier powerhouses in my castle.”
Nota keenly observed that there was a hint of disappointment in the Dark High Priest’s eyes when he mentioned his castle.
Seeing this, Nota continued to speak. “In order to avoid the patrolling Dark Magi, I intentionally walked out of the windless zone. I only came out three years ago. At that time, I found out that Mike had already gone into seclusion and was about to begin accumulating divine power for the advancement to the divine-tier.”
The Dark High Priest frowned and asked, “You’re not lying to me, right? How many years has Mike been away? Two, it hasn’t even been that long, right? When he left, he was just a small High-level warrior. Are you telling me that he’s already preparing to advance to the divine-tier?”
Nota nodded and said, “I’m absolutely certain that Mike already possesses High-level, divine power, and heaven-tier spiritual power. Once his divine power reaches a certain level, he’ll be able to advance to the divine-tier of a summoner.”
When everyone heard this news, their spirits were lifted. Only Kelly was sitting there, seemingly unsurprised by this news.
The Dark High Priest looked at Nota and said, “Nota, you just said that you passed through the windless zone and stayed inside for three years. Have you gone mad?”
Nota scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “It’s nothing. Compared to what Mike and Little Jerry did, it’s really a drop in the bucket. You guys don’t know that every time Mike fought, he would walk on the edge of a blade…”
Everyone chatted for a long time. It was not until three days later that Nota finished his story.
When the Dark High Priest heard what Nota said, his spirit was greatly boosted. He said, “You said that you’ve developed a teleportation portal that can transmit messages across domains? You can build an information bridge with the Dragon Castle?”
Nota nodded and said, “I’m looking for some people…”
Kelly smiled and said, “The group of people you’re looking for, a portion of them are currently in Snowstorm City, and a small portion of them are still fighting outside.”
Only then did Nota feel the unfathomable depth of this lady. In front of her, it was as if he did not have any secrets to speak of.
Kelly continued, “According to what you all said, we need to quietly wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack?”
Nota shook his head and said, “You have already completed the first and second steps of the plan ahead of time. At present, we need to carry out the third step of the plan. We need to wait for an opportunity to launch a strategic counterattack at any time and occupy the port of the Otherworld.”
The three of them looked at each other and said at the same time, “No problem.”
Nota nodded and said, “There is still one problem. I still need to make a trip back. In the past three years, I have figured out a safe route to the windless zone. I don’t need to pass through the port of the Otherworld. After a big circle, I can reach the port of the Northern Region.”
The Lord of Storms said, “There’s no need. I’ll go. I happen to be making a trip to the Northern Territory. I have an old friend in the Northern Territory. I can try to persuade him to take action. This can be considered as making a contribution to liberating the Otherworld.”
Nota started, “You…”
The Lord of Storms glared at him and bellowed furiously, “What? Are you looking down on him? He’s also a man who has injured divine-tier experts. We’ve been around way longer than you have!”
Nota smiled bitterly as he apologized to the Lord of Storms. Then, he said, “Alright, I’ll send you the route map in a while. Please be careful. Don’t let anything happen during this critical period.”
Kelly pondered for a moment and said, “Since you’ve already decided to do this, the most important thing now is to send you safely to the place where Nota came from.”
“Yes.” The Dark High Priest continued, “The Dark Magi must have noticed that someone has entered the barrier. They will definitely be more vigilant. We need to attract the enemy’s attention and buy them time.”
The potted plant that had been sleeping in the corner started to speak. “If that’s the case, then we also need to set a secondary target. This target should be reasonable and worthy of our attention.”
The Lord of Storm said, “Then we can only activate those guys.”
When they talked about those guys, their expressions changed. They looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other’s eyes.
Nota suddenly thought of something. He took out the golden barrier and handed it to the Lord of Storms.
“We have subordinates lurking around the Northern Region’s Harbor. When you get there, hang this barrier on your chest. Someone will come to meet you.”
The Lord of Storms took the golden enchantment and stared at it carefully. His expression became subtle.
“Guardian, listen to me. I could betray the castle for you. How can you still trust my heart?”
“Storm Guardian, I do trust your heart. I’m very touched that you could betray the Xuanyuan family for me. However, this doesn’t mean that I have to agree to your proposal. You have to understand that gratitude and love are two different feelings. After spending time together these days, my opinion of you has changed slightly. However, I’m still far from liking you. I hope you can understand this.”
Storm Guardian’s expression changed.. “You and I are already engaged. If it wasn’t for that guy, we would already be husband and wife!”
