Chapter 937: The Secret Repository and the Heart (Part I)
Chapter 937: The Secret Repository and the Heart (Part I)
Understood.
Lyon, after witnessing the painful sight of Taurus Director and hearing all of Scorpio Director's actions, began to understand why the incident from years ago had escalated to this point.
It seemed that Scorpio Director was unwilling to take a harsh approach in the cleanup operation, so he ignored the advice and forcefully pushed forward with his plan. After numerous unsuccessful attempts at communication, the cleanup team had no choice but to resort to using the Thirteen Ant Nests, eliminating Scorpio Director and Eastern Carleva Kingdom in one fell swoop.
This was truly... a clear sign that he had never studied from Xiaohongshu.
With a sigh of regret, Lyon shook his head, feeling sorry for the innocent lives lost in Eastern Carleva and also gaining an estimate of this "senior's" skill in causing trouble.
When you genuinely want to accomplish something, being right is not enough. You must first find a group of people who share your vision, then gather those who can benefit from your actions. Next, demonstrate your abilities, strength, and even your "destructive power" to convince those who are hesitant and undecided.
Once all this is done and you've secured a solid foundation of support, that's when you can start implementing your ideas on a grand scale. Otherwise, even if your ideas and direction are correct, the endeavor will still fail.
As for Scorpio Director's chosen approach... it's no wonder he is of the Brave bloodline, fearless and reckless in equal measure.
...
"Lyon, to be honest, when you first showed signs of it, we were worried too."
"..."
Taurus Director looked at Lyon's black hair and spoke with a hint of reminiscence, "You and the former Scorpio Director were indeed very similar. The truth behind the incident back then... sigh... The reason Sagittarius kept an eye on you is because of this. The Bureau simply couldn't withstand another similar upheaval."
"Although you share a similar vision with Scorpio and might even have a close blood connection, your approach to things is much more stable and you're more receptive to opposing opinions. It's just that..."
"No, no, I'm just being cautious to avoid any mishaps. That's all."
Noticing the conversation turning towards himself, Lyon quickly interrupted, fearing that Taurus Director might realize that all opposition within the Bureau had disappeared. "Your Highness Taurus, if it's indeed the former Scorpio Director causing trouble, does the Bureau have anything to restrain him?"
"There actually is..."
Upon hearing Lyon's question, Taurus Director hesitated, "Scorpio's plan, although unsuccessful, had already merged him with the Crimson Blood. The heart of the Crimson Ruler has an innate suppressing effect on that thing... But when you ask this, do you intend to go and help out?"
Lyon was taken aback by the statement and furrowed his brows, "So, you're suggesting I shouldn't get involved this time?"
"I'm not sure..."
Taurus Director glanced at Lyon again, speaking with hesitation, "Lyon, you carry the bloodline of Eastern Carleva Kingdom, and judging by your approach, the concentration of the bloodline is likely high. There's a strong chance you're related to Scorpio. Oliviah's refusal to tell you anything is probably to keep you out of this, so..."
"Then I must go."
Interrupting Taurus Director, Lyon frowned, "The former Aquarius Director informed us of four impending disasters. The crises in the Northern Kingdom and the Miko Kingdom have been averted, and the royal family of the Thousand Sail Sea Country has been completely captured. Three of the prophecies have come true, and the last one is likely unfolding before us."
After the death of the Snake Lord Director and the Cancer Lord Director being occupied with the inheritance of the Abdominal God Prison, the only capable members left in the Bureau were the Taurus Director, the Sagittarius Director, the Pisces Director, and six Zodiac Directors, with one of them being Edward. The defense of the present world was severely lacking, so we must make thorough preparations to ensure the safety of the Western Carleva Kingdom's royalty."
"Alright, you're right..."
After listening to Lyon's words, the Taurus Director couldn't help but sigh and nod in agreement with his analysis.
"Then I'll take you to retrieve... To use the heart of the Crimson Ruler, we need the consent of four or more Directors. I have the tokens of Sagittarius and Pisces, and Cancer has entrusted their token to me as well. With you, that makes five people... But you must be careful."
The Taurus Director looked at Lyon with some concern and instructed with a hint of unease:
"Although they are both Pillar Deities, the Crimson Ruler, one of the Supreme Four Pillar Deities, is very different from the Utter Inexistence that you defeated. Even if it's just a heart drained of blood, there's still a significant risk in touching it carelessly.
I suggest that from now on, you maintain the Heart of the Lake Authority that you control at all times. Pay close attention to your own heart, and if you find any signs of its influence, immediately reseal the heart of the Crimson Ruler. Don't be careless!"
Lyon blinked in surprise and then took careful note of the Taurus Director's instructions before following her into the inner hall of the Taurus Palace.
After entering the spacious inner hall with Lyon, the Taurus Director took out a key and drew a line on the floor engraved with the Taurus insignia. The floor split open, revealing a narrow passage that twisted downward.
"Below is the Secret Repository of the headquarters."
The Taurus Director stepped onto the narrow passage made of countless large keys and walked slowly downward under the gaze of countless dark keyholes, explaining in a gentle voice:
"Since the secret arts of the Taurus Palace and the Aquarius Palace require a large amount of materials, the key to the headquarters' Secret Repository is usually held by each generation's Taurus Director. If the Taurus Director position is vacant, then the Aquarius Director will take over.
Lyon, remember, if something happens to me one day, or if I die without choosing a successor, then you take the key to the Secret Repository. As long as you have the key and draw a line on the Aquarius Palace's corresponding insignia, you can open the path to the Secret Repository... We're here!"
