The Man’s Decree

Sigurd stood outside the door. He didn’t push it open because he had no idea what Jared and Viola were doing inside the room.

Upon hearing that Sigurd had arrived, Viola rose to her feet and opened the door.

Jared also rose to his feet.

After a brief glance, Sigurd gave Jared a meaningful smile.

As a man, Jared of course understood what Sigurd’s smile implied.

“Let’s go. I need to figure out what’s going on with this Teleportation Array. If we keep delaying like this, who knows when we’ll finally reach Yannopolis.”

If possible, Jared was willing to lend a hand in fixing that Teleportation Array.

“Jared, I never asked you, but did you come here because you’re also heading to Yannopolis? Are you attending the Alchemist Fair as well?”

Throughout the whole time, Viola had never asked Jared why he too was present there.

“I’m not here for the Alchemist Fair. I’m looking for some friends in Epea. I have a few friends in Yannopolis,” Jared said.

“Men and women?” Viola looked at Jared, her eyes filled with caution as she asked.

“Yes, there are both men and women…” Jared said truthfully.

Upon hearing Jared’s words, Viola let out a soft sigh, followed by a bitter smile.

She knew Jared was a free-spirited man.

It was simply unrealistic for her to want to keep him by her side.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

All that mattered was that she held a place in Jared’s heart. She didn’t dare to ask for anything more.

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you for a stroll…”

Jared followed Viola as they left the inn, with Sigurd trailing at a distance. They then arrived at the Apothecary Guild, right before the vast square.

In the heart of that square, streaks of spiritual light flickered, with the ground bearing ancient patterns. It was unmistakably a grand arcane array.

Surrounding the large arcane array, over a dozen cultivators were stationed, vigilantly guarding it to prevent anyone from carelessly approaching.

Around the large arcane array, numerous alchemists were gathered, each of them clearly displaying one prominent emotion-anxiety.

Clearly, these alchemists had been stranded here for several days now. If the Teleportation Array couldn’t be fixed, they were likely to miss the Alchemist Fair.

After traveling a great distance to get here, they all planned to teleport to Yannopolis. Yet, the Teleportation Array was unexpectedly broken.

In the heart of the Teleportation Array, a middle- aged man, clad in a long gray robe, was tirelessly examining the array runes on the ground, his forehead slick with sweat.

On the west of the Teleportation Array, there were a few individuals donned in vibrant yellow robes. Each of them had an alchemist’s token hanging from their waist.

This evidence showed that these individuals were all members of the Apothecary Guild, and they appeared to hold no low-ranking positions.

Swiftly, as the middle-aged man in the gray robe left the Teleportation Array, it began to emit a radiant glow. The intricate array runes slowly rose into the air.

Then, within the arcane array’s wound, a series of spatial fluctuations intertwined. Upon witnessing this scene, the middle-aged man in the gray robe let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Upon seeing the situation, the higher-ups of the Alchemist Guild finally flashed a smile.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely apologize for the delay. The Teleportation Array has now been repaired and is ready for use. However, due to its recent repair, the number of people we can teleport at once will be limited. This time, the Teleportation Array can only accommodate fifty people. So, those who were first in line here can now use their ticket numbers to enter the Teleportation Array.”

A high-ranking member of the Apothecary Guild glanced around at everyone present before speaking.

Upon hearing that the Teleportation Array had been repaired, the numerous alchemists began to rejoice.

Sigurd exclaimed excitedly, “It’s been fixed, Ms. Viola. We’re right in the front of the group. We can enter the Teleportation Array now.”

Viola gave a slight nod, then turned to Jared. “Come, follow me. Let’s just say you’re with us. We’ll teleport over there together.”

After glancing at the radiant Teleportation Array, Jared halted Viola and Sigurd, saying,

“Don’t. The Teleportation Array hasn’t been fully repaired yet. This teleportation attempt will surely fail.”
