After that, there were two important pieces of information.
First, Supreme Scholar Mersedors had led the masters to the altar and activated the academy treasury.
Second, the astral anomaly caused by Miteros's star spirits was likely the source of the corruption affecting Stargazing Master Rongkat and Chaigens of the Lower Academy.
After carefully reading through it, Landfall and the others relayed the information to Burton.
Burton sighed at this. So it was true.
Ever since entering the academy, he had been worried about this. He had never expected it to become reality in the end.
Seeing Burton's reaction, Landfall and the others grew curious. "Teacher Burton, you said you left the academy to find a way to preserve Miteros—how did you know about this?"
"Did the star spirits tell you?"
Burton nodded slightly. "I once went to the observatory."
Landfall rubbed his chin. "So, are we heading to the observatory now, or...?"
"The treasury first." After glancing at their current location, Burton said, "It's closer."
Clearly, the place Burton had initially wanted to take them to was the treasury.
However, judging from the contents of Master Rongkat's handwritten records, the Supreme Scholar and the masters had likely already taken quite a few items from the treasury and headed for the altar.
And that was indeed the case.
Led by Burton, the three quickly dealt with two gatekeeper puppets nearly as strong as those who had transformed into fire. They then forcibly broke through the arcane restrictions and entered.
[Mithrilos Academy Treasury]
"Hold on. What's this?"
Before Landfall and the others had even fully entered, they seemed to spot something and slowly backed away a few steps.
Then they noticed a row of small golden busts, each with an inscription beneath it.
