After seeing off Yisen Gard, Ian sat in the private room for a while longer.
His eyes were tightly closed as he pondered.
"Natives... yes, Natives."
Ian murmured to himself, "That's right, I almost forgot—the Natives must have detected the presence of the Deep Sea Crystal Dragon earlier than us. Their Totem Master is probably still nursing the injury inflicted by my teacher back then, so faced with a dragon species at the peak of the First Power Level, they had to step back, even risking losing their own lair."
"The Natives couldn't be unaware of this, they wouldn't just watch the exploration team's movements."
"And where on earth did they get those fiery weapons from Fiery Flame Land? Although those guards did not specify, I could tell that there's something extraordinary about it, the implications behind it might be even more significant than the Ellen Family's mission!"
