Only half an hour remained. This second storm was clearly shorter than the first.
But considering the confidence of the receptionist, Fu Qian believed the information in this file was still fairly reliable.
And once it ended, just as he'd concluded earlier while talking with Selena, it would probably be difficult for him to find a way back in anytime soon.
Given that, he needed to make good use of the time he had left.
In theory, his return to reap the rewards had already been a huge success.
He'd not only found this Storm Moore, but also confirmed that this place really was connected to the Death Master.
He'd even gotten some answers about what the Greedy Worms thought the Death Master's return meant.
He'd also learned a little about the minor friction between An Jing and the Siren, as well as Lady Selena and Sir Solondir.
The only problem was that he seemed to have learned little about what had prompted his return in the first place: the Sea of Ashes.
There were no traces of the academy's predecessors, and the storm was limited to Moore and the surrounding waters.
Even Sir Solondir's plan was confined to searching for Storm Moore. The two matters seemed almost entirely unrelated.
But even so, he could still say the trip had been worthwhile.
In theory, he could spend the little time he had left in that office, examining the information Sir Solondir had delivered right to his doorstep—but it wasn't enough.
Had he forgotten the dean's parting reminder?
After years of painstaking exploration, was it really true that the Wise Dead had nothing to do with the Sea of Ashes?
Time was short, but Fu Qian thought he still had a chance to check again.
Why was he so confident?
Simple.
