Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: The Land of Northumberland

Hearing Gregory’s words and seeing the longing that filled his eyes, Thiago Relief and the other three Vice Fort Masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress lowered their heads slightly, the corners of their mouths twitching.

"Hmm?"

Noticing the bitterness that appeared on their faces, Gregory’s expression darkened, "What? Don’t you have the ’Mystic Fragment’ that I can use?"

"Castle Master."

At the prompting of Yael Zafar and the other two, Thiago Relief stiffened and faced Gregory with a wry smile, "We didn’t get anything in the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasury’, let alone a ’Mystic Fragment’."

"Not only that, but all twenty of the youthful powerhouses that Grimm Wolf Fortress sent into the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasury’ met their end inside!"

Thiago Relief said all this in one breath and then anxiously looked at Gregory.

Gregory stood there, seemingly calm but with a hidden murderous intent.

Especially his eyes, which now were exceedingly sharp, filled with a coldness that seemed ready to devour someone.

"How could this be?"

Gregory asked in a deep voice.

"Castle Master, they all fell at the hands of the same person."

Thiago Relief gave a wry smile.

At the same time, the image of a figure in purple surfaced in Thiago Relief’s mind.

The owner of the purple silhouette had been seen by them during the ’Decennial Martial Gathering’ that Grimm Wolf Fortress initially held.

That person even went on to overpower the top ten royal youngsters, securing the honor of ’Champion of the Decennial Martial Gathering’.

Almost at the instant Thiago Relief’s words ended, a tremendously powerful aura burst forth from Gregory, causing the clouds nearby to stir.

"Who?!"

Gregory’s voice was icy cold, laced with deadly danger.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Thiago Relief sighed.

"Wyatt Barnes?"

Upon hearing Thiago Relief’s words, the ’frost’ that had covered Gregory’s face vanished, replaced by shock, "The one who took first place in the ’Decennial Martial Gathering’ held by our Grimm Wolf Fortress?"

"The same ’Wyatt’ that little miss talked about as ’Brother Wyatt’?"

Toward the end, the image of a young girl in yellow formed in Gregory’s mind, and he couldn’t help but shudder involuntarily.

"Yes."

Thiago Relief hastily nodded.

"You didn’t do anything to that Wyatt Barnes, did you?"

In that moment, Gregory’s gaze turned piercing, sweeping over Thiago Relief and the other three Vice Fort Masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress as he asked in a deep voice.

"No."

The four of them shook their heads frantically.

"Good... remember, when facing Wyatt Barnes, do not harbor any illusions of luck. The methods of the person behind that little miss are beyond your imagination!"

By the end of Gregory’s words, his face was incredibly solemn.

And his words, reaching the ears of Thiago Relief and the others, caused them to glance at each other, each seeing the fear in the other’s eyes.

"After the ’Decennial Martial Gathering’ ended, should we tell the Castle Master about our pursuit of Wyatt Barnes?"

The four of them communicated privately with their Origin Force.

"I think we’d better not... Considering how much the Castle Master dreads Miss Julia, if he knew, we certainly would not fare well."

"Right, we cannot say."

...

Quickly, the four of them reached a consensus.

And ’Gregory’, the Castle Master of Grimm Wolf Fortress, was kept in the dark.

In the high skies north of the Northern Desert, three figures swiftly swept across the sky.

Leading were two girls, followed by an old woman in green clothes.

The old woman’s face was expressionless, but her movements didn’t stir the clouds like the two girls did.

Where she passed, it was as if even the airflows weren’t affected by her presence.

"Ruby, let me stay here a bit longer... I haven’t found Brother Wyatt yet,"

the girl in yellow turned her head to look at the old woman in green, her eyes playful and pitiful as she spoke.

"Miss, please don’t make this difficult for me... You ran away from home with Miss Iris this time, and the master is very unhappy. He insisted that I bring you back home without delay,"

the old woman in green looked at the girl in yellow with affectionate eyes, and her voice bore a hint of helplessness.

The girl in yellow was ’Karina Hanson’.

Hearing the old woman’s words, Karina Hanson immediately became disheartened, drooping her little head, "Dad is so bothersome, he even minds if I take a little breather outside... Hmph! When I get back, I’m not going to speak to him for a month! No, two months."

Karina Hanson’s muttering reached the ears of the girl next to her and the old woman in green, prompting them to exchange a knowing, wry smile.

"Ruby, have Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White come out from that place yet?"

Soon after, Karina Hanson seemed to recall something, lifting her head and shedding the previous gloom, her playful eyes turning to the old woman in green.

On her pretty face was a mixture of eagerness.

"Not yet."

The old woman in green shook her head.

"Will they be able to come out safely?"

Karina Hanson asked, somewhat worried.

"Those two small pythons should be fine... Their bloodline previously had reached the level of ’Variant Sacred Beast Descendants’. In that place, it is possible for them to transform into ’Variant Sacred Beasts’ as well."

The old woman in green explained.

"And what about Little Gold?"

Karina Hanson’s delicate face slightly changed color as she asked anxiously, "It won’t be in any trouble, will it? If something really happens to it, how am I supposed to explain to Wyatt?"

"Hard to say. That little golden mouse is a ’Heavenly Pupilled Golden Mouse,’ a descendant of Sacred Beasts... Its bloodline is quite fixed, and transforming into a ’Sacred Beast’ is much more difficult than for the two little pythons."

The old woman in green shook her head as she spoke, not sounding very certain.

"And if it can’t transform, what then?"

Karina Hanson asked.

"A dead end!"

As a ’demon’ who had once entered that place, the old woman in green knew it very well.

A dead end!

Those four simple words shocked Karina Hanson, her complexion drastically changing.

"Little Gold, you must not have any trouble."

After a while, Karina Hanson took a deep breath and murmured to herself.

"Miss, we should set off now."

The old woman in green spoke calmly, and as soon as her words fell, without any visible movement from her, she and the two young girls disappeared into thin air.

As if they had never been there in the first place.

In an extremely distant place from the ’Northern Desert,’ there was a luxurious and magnificent palace floating on an ’island in the sky.’

Currently, two figures were standing above the palace.

The two figures leaned against each other, a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in green, a young man standing there, poised and graceful.

The contours of his face appeared incomparably perfect, as if they had been meticulously carved countless times.

A pair of sword-like eyebrows stood proudly, invoking authority without anger.

Below the sword brows, his seemingly calm eyes stared into the distance, with strands of green energy pulsating within.

His eyes suddenly sharpened, as if they could see through everything.

The woman by his side, clad in green, had a stunning beauty that seemed to overshadow all around her.

Standing together, they appeared as a match made in heaven.

"Brother Lanni, you should have brought Wyatt over as well... Leaving him alone over there, I’m not at ease."

The woman spoke softly as gentle as orchids.

"Natalie, you’ve finally brought this up... but I have my reasons for leaving Wyatt there. If you really want what’s best for him, you should let go a little."

The man said.

"Brother Lanni, I know you left Wyatt there to toughen him up... But couldn’t he just as well undertake his trials here? Moreover, here, Wyatt would be under our watchful eyes, which gives me peace of mind."

The woman continued.

"Natalie, I understand what you’re saying... but if I were to bring Wyatt over from there, it would do him more harm than good."

"As for the reason, I don’t quite know how to explain it... When you see Wyatt again in the future, you’ll naturally understand."

The man explained.

"But what if something happens to Wyatt while he’s on his own over there?"

The woman asked, full of concern.

"Don’t worry... I’ve left him three ’Taoist Talismans’ that can save his life three times."

The man reassured her.

"And what if he uses up those ’Taoist Talismans’?"

"Then he’ll have to rely on himself."

"Can’t someone be sent to protect him? Even secret protection would do."

"Those three ’Taoist Talismans’ are already the limit of my interference in his life... The rest of his path, he must walk on his own! My son, Lanni Barnes, is not one of the commonplace flock."

"And if some misfortune happens to him?"

"We must have faith in him."

...

Having left the Northern Desert and traveled northward for several months, Wyatt Barnes finally reached his destination.

The region neighboring ’Weak Water River.’

This area was also known as ’Northumberland.’

"Northumberland... Northumberland... Back then, when Winnie, Uncle Romero, and I set off towards ’Ancient Desert City,’ Uncle Romero saved a pair of siblings. They seemed to be from Northumberland."

Hovering in the air, Wyatt Barnes looked towards the ice coffin floating beside him, or more precisely, at the red-clad woman lying inside it, and spoke to himself.

"The Gagnon family from Northumberland? I wonder whether the Gagnon family is among the noteworthy powers in this ’Northumberland.’

Wyatt Barnes was curious.

It was his first time in Northumberland.

The reason he knew about ’Northumberland’ was due to a map he had consulted at the Byrd Family; it had ’Northumberland’ marked on it.

To the north of Northumberland was the ’Weak Water River.’

"Although ’Northumberland’ is marked on the map, there’s no detailed introduction to it... To learn about Northumberland, I’ll have to discover it for myself," Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Taking Fill Bear and the ice coffin in which Winnie Romero lay, Wyatt Barnes began to search the surroundings, hoping to find a city within ’Northumberland.’

After half a day, he finally discovered one.

This city was a small town on the southern edge of Northumberland.

The town was small, but there was no shortage of people coming and going.

"Fill Bear, let’s enter the town."

After giving Fill Bear a heads-up, Wyatt Barnes flew down with him and the ’ice coffin.’
