Bolen was clearly a little troubled and didn't want to continue this topic.
Kael held the stone slab, looking at it again and again. His lips moved, but in the end, he didn't ask anything else.
The three of them fell silent for a while.
Bolen pulled Kael aside and quietly explained some things he needed to pay attention to before choosing a direction.
Lu Yuan did not disturb them.
He sat back down by the window, slipped the copper coin into his inner pocket, picked up Klaus's handbook from the table, and opened to the page he had not finished reading before.
Qiao's handwriting in the handbook had been written stroke by stroke, slowly and carefully.
Lu Yuan read a few lines, but Green's words from earlier kept circling in his mind.
Dwarves had participated in the Tower of Erudition's seal, and the Ascension Society had also hired Dwarves.
Put together, those two facts showed that the hidden problems in Bronze City were far greater than he had imagined.
The light outside the window slowly shifted.
Time passed without notice.
A little over two hours later.
Bolen and Kael had already spent quite a while discussing the matter of direction.
Kael ultimately did not make a choice on the spot. Bolen did not urge him, only repeatedly reminded him to think it through carefully before choosing and not let the Dwarves' enthusiasm lead him astray.
The old man's expression was rather subtle when he said that, as if he were wondering whether he himself had been led astray back then.
Lu Yuan was just about to close the handbook when there was another sound outside the door.
At that moment, someone knocked.
Lu Yuan walked over and pulled the door open.
An extremely tall person stood outside.
"Extremely tall"
