Outside the valley, on the grassy plains, Enzo remained indifferent to Priest Lucy's words.
Hearing her hesitation, he interrupted with a smile, saying, "Priest Lucy, I understand you want to tell me about the power of the barren mountain's scepter.

I believe that true strength lies within oneself. Only by being strong enough can we face any challenge and lead the tribe to greatness, rather than relying on such artifacts."
