Alice tentatively said, "…emergency defense mechanism?"
"No wonder the powers that be in the Vaulted Sky city could so leisurely observe. Any way you look at it, the ritual seemed to need the heart of a dragon—I assume it's a heart—to be conducted. Yet these people had the nerve to keep this trick up their sleeve until now. Even I'm at a loss for words."
Gongsun Ce gave a bitter smile, "It seems that they finally made an emergency decision just now, hiding the dragon's heart at some expense... This is really, it's simply doing unpaid labor for the big shots!"
Alice was still looking in the direction where the dragon's heart had disappeared, apparently deeply shocked by the actions of the high-ups in the Vaulted Sky city.
He chuckled, shaking his head, thinking this was good.
