Sea of Wandering
"Beyond the sea!"
"My captain, that's the other side of the Sea of Wandering. We have successfully crossed the Abyss of death!"
"Real, fake, and mesmerizing!"
"World! Enter this world, and the epic poem of conquering destiny is being written!"
"..."
In reality, Seth was tied to a chair.
At this moment, he completely lacked the dignity that Seventh Stage awakened being should possess.
This gloomy screenwriter was like a drunkard locked in a room, constantly shouting.
After Linsey and Wala Wala were summoned to the theater, they could only come to this room and watch each other go crazy.
Tomorrow is the Art Festival.
The Fimbul Theater is closed all day today in preparation for its grand opening tomorrow.
While ordinary actors were busy preparing props for the street performance, others were making the most of their time to rehearse.
Only the most important people in the theater were gathered at the door of this room.
The reason why the crazed Seth was unable to use his skills to fight back was because of their combined suppression.
At this moment, Fimbul, the theater's owner, looked solemnly at Linsey:
"Mr. Linsey, you should know what's wrong with him, right?"
The answer is Linsey:
"Just like Hilude, he lost his mind because he was trying to peek into fate."
Fimbul nodded slightly.
His actions were very measured. He first bowed his head and apologized to Linsey: "Linsey, I apologize to you for Seth spying on your fate."
"If you are willing to accept it, I will provide you with compensation as much as possible."
That's how I've stated my position.
Fimbul then outlined the troublesome aspects of the current situation:
"But the Art Festival is tomorrow."
"Seth is a very important playwright for our theater. He has already made reservations for some important occasions, and we absolutely cannot continue like this."
Linsey naturally asked:
"I am willing to help you with this matter."
"But this is ultimately the result of peeking into fate, so what kind of help can I offer?"
Fimbul stated frankly:
"As the person involved, you should know what he spied on that led to this result, right? As long as you understand the corresponding direction, I can use the power of Emotional Source Material to guide and calm down the madness in his heart."
"Can you tell me about this?"
"..."
Linsey was somewhat undecided.
Although what he found at the bottom of the sea was just a secluded studio.
However, it's hard to say what kind of upheaval the ruins of the Ninth Stage awakened ones will bring to this city.
Noticing Linsey's hesitation, Fimbul said magnanimously:
"If you are unwilling, I will never force you."
"This is the consequence of Seth's unauthorized prying into fate. I can assure you, as the theater owner, that this incident will absolutely not cause you any trouble!"
Fimbul was friendly.
The situation was so good that Linsey even had the urge to turn around and leave immediately.
However, based on the available intelligence...
He keenly grasped a possibility.
The Fimbul Theater certainly couldn't solve Seth's problem immediately, which is why they asked me for help.
If Linsey were to decisively back out now, what would the theater do next? Giving up the Art Festival opening event—impossible!
The serious attitude of Fimbul and others will only lead to a different outcome.
To the theater's superiors.
The Actors Association of the City of a Thousand Sails is requesting assistance.
There are clearly Eighth Stage Awakened there, and since a key organization like the Fimbul Theater has requested assistance, they will naturally lend a hand.
Then, things can develop in two ways.
The strongest members of the Actors Association, by working on the skill system of the Destiny Script, restored Seth to his original state.
With the abilities of Eighth Stage awakened being.
During the investigation into the details of the playwright's madness, one would inevitably have to pay attention to oneself as the culprit.
Under the gaze of the Eighth Stage.
Linsey's true identity and abilities may be fully exposed.
However, the second possibility—
Even the Eighth Stage powerhouse of the Actors Association ran into trouble while trying to glimpse fate.
What does it mean if something happens to Eighth Stage Awakened? Even if the people at the Fimbul Theater are friendly to you, other problems will inevitably follow.
These artists certainly value art.
However, as one of the largest Awakened forces in the Entire Universe, they would never ignore such a sensitive topic as Awakened.
"Call--"
Between two evils, choose the lesser one.
Linsey understood the situation, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Fimbul in the most serious tone, "Mr. Fimbul, I can tell you what happens next."
"But among those present, it is best to limit the number of people who know this, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Upon hearing that Linsey was willing to help, Fimbul naturally had no objections.
He waved his hand, and the core members of the theater immediately left.
Only Fimbul and Yao Xing remained in the house where Seth had gone mad.
"I stand here not only as your monarch, but also as the guardian of this land!"
Fimbul used his acting skills to embody the king in "The Founding of Solreil".
Then, he invoked the privileges reserved for the king. "I hereby declare: from the glaciers of the far north to the deserts of the southernmost reaches, from the Land of the Rising Sun to the Sunset's Final Domain, all secret conversations here shall not be revealed to any unscrupulous person!"
The declaration was made.
The small room was instantly enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.
Linsey and the others automatically understood a fact.
The room had become a completely enclosed space.
Outsiders have absolutely no way of seeing what's going on inside, let alone hearing what's happening here.
Seeing Fimbul's serious attitude.
Linsey naturally offered an explanation for the matter. "I'll keep it short."
"A few days ago, while I was exploring the seabed nearby, I found the ruins left by a Ninth Stage awakened being. Hilude and Seth must have touched that crucial point when they were trying to glimpse their destiny, which is why they are in their current predicament."
"..."
As Linsey finished speaking, in order to prove the truth of her words...
He also took out the Inscribed Stone Pillar that had no other function than to influence people's emotions and souls.
"This is what I took from that ruin."
"You're all artists, you should be able to recognize the emotional power in this, right?"
"..."
The atmosphere in the small room became incredibly eerie.
Apart from Wala Wala, who already knew the situation and had a 'I knew it' expression on his face.
Fimbul and Yao Xing both fell into a daze.
Faced with this situation, they were no different from Will, the ordinary designer, and were even so shocked that they were speechless.
As users of the Emotional Source Material, they only needed to sense the power emanating from the stone pillar to understand that Linsey's words were true.
On the contrary, Seth was driven to madness.
Still shouting with a look of infatuation:
"Captain, we're crossing the end!"
"The end of the world cannot stop our voyage; the land of hope lies ahead."
"Look! That's a sun on the glacier!!!"
