Chapter 641 The Origins of Angel and Orla
The entanglement between Tiger Mount and Celestia Vale was no secret to the hidden sects. Even if they didn't know the details, they were somewhat aware of the relationship and past changes between the two.
The people of the hidden sects all knew that Tiger Mount and Celestia Vale had once been one entity, so Ethan's current status was equivalent to Neil's. If the ZF Guild hadn't split, Ethan, as the head of the ZF Guild, would now be the leader of Celestia Vale!
Some might have said that the ZF Guild had declined, and Tiger Mount had been dormant for too long. Even though the Tiger Mount secret realm had recently reappeared, it still couldn't compare to the then-current Celestia Vale!
However, Tiger Mount still had Francis, a late-stage grandmaster. Who would really have dared to underestimate that?
"No wonder Ethan has the confidence to challenge a super sect like Hills Guild!"
Deborah finally understood the source of Ethan's confidence!
At this time, Ethan and Kenneth had already brought Orla to Stardale. They originally planned to call a car to take them directly back to Novaria, but Orla caused the plan to fail and almost attracted the attention of the police.
A wolf's intimidation was still significant for the average person.
"Mr. Wilson, why don't we go back to Tiger Mount first?"
Kenneth reminded Ethan because leaving Orla in the Tiger Mount secret realm seemed like the best choice.
Running around with a wolf all day was too conspicuous!
"Alright!"
Ethan also thought it was a good idea to go to Tiger Mount first. He didn't intend to leave Orla there but wanted to discuss the Hills Guild matter with Francis.
Ethan had considered putting Orla in Tiger Mount, but after communicating with Orla, she immediately rejected the idea.
Orla seemed unwilling to leave Ethan and appeared very dependent on him.
The dependence made Ethan feel a bit guilty, because it should be on Angel!
In this situation, Ethan naturally wanted to keep Orla by his side as much as possible.
However, Ethan didn't explain this to Kenneth, nor was there any need to.
Finding a deserted alley, Ethan opened a space portal and took Kenneth and Orla into the Tiger Mount secret realm.
As soon as Ethan appeared, a grim-faced Francis immediately showed up.
But before he could say anything, his gaze was drawn to Orla, and his face showed a look of shock.
"Moonhowl!"
Francis recognized Orla's identity almost instantly.
When Orla saw Francis, she just glanced at him indifferently and then turned her head away, looking uninterested.
"Yeah. Her name is Orla. You know her too?"
Ethan raised an eyebrow.
"Orla is a divine beast of the wolf clan, recorded in ancient texts. I didn't expect you to tame her! How did you do it?"
Francis asked Ethan suspiciously.
"Is it really just recorded in ancient texts? Celestia Vale specifically informed me to tame her at all costs and not let her fall into the hands of the hidden sects! I came to ask you about this!"
Ethan frowned and said more suspiciously.
"What’s going on? How is Celestia Vale involved?"
Francis immediately frowned, not directly answering Ethan's question.
Ethan wasn't in a hurry and briefly recounted the events of the past few days, which made Francis frown repeatedly.
"Let me explain the matter of Orla!"
At this moment, Phoenix suddenly appeared nearby, smiling at Ethan.
"It seems Celestia Vale indeed knows the origin of Orla!"
Ethan's heart stirred upon hearing this.
"Information about Orla does exist in an ancient text, which I have personally seen. It is known that she came to our world from an unknown world over two thousand years ago and was sealed in Vast Mountain for some reason!"
Phoenix nodded slowly and explained.
"What reason?"
Ethan asked, frowning more suspiciously.
"The ancient text does not detail it, only mentioning that over two thousand years ago, there was an invasion by foreign races, leading to a great war. Orla was sealed in a corner of the ancient battlefield, which is where you found her. Based on the timeline, she was due to awaken, and Celestia Vale must have sensed this, hence they informed you to tame her!"
Phoenix continued to explain.
"The foreign races' invasion?"
Ethan's heart stirred.
Could it be that Orla and Angel entered this world during that invasion, or does the foreign race include them?
Considering that Angel's physical body was currently sealed in Celestia Vale, Ethan's heart sank.
If this was true, wouldn't he and Angel be on opposing sides?
"Did you really do nothing, and she recognized you as her master?"
Francis asked, staring at Ethan suspiciously.
"Maybe it's my good character. Anyway, I'm telling the truth, believe it or not!"
Ethan touched his nose, feeling a bit guilty. He couldn't reveal the relationship between Angel and Orla, especially suspecting that Angel might be an invader from another world. He needed to confirm her true identity first!
"Perhaps this is your great opportunity. It seems Celestia Vale's urgent request for you to tame Orla was a lucky hit!"
Phoenix smiled, satisfied.
"What lucky hit? I've seen that ancient text from Celestia Vale, and the records are very vague. Recently, I saw more detailed records about Orla in an ancient text from the SA Guild!"
At this moment, Francis changed the subject and snorted lightly.
"Let me see that ancient text!"
Ethan's eyes lit up.
Although Orla was found on Vast Mountain, her master Angel was brought out from the SA Guild's secret realm!
The SA Guild's ancient texts might indeed have records about Orla, and possibly about Angel too!
"See for yourself!"
Francis seemed prepared and took out a copied ancient text from his sleeve, handing it to Ethan.
After Shane returned, he had told Francis about the events on Vast Mountain.
Since Francis had seen the records in the SA Guild's ancient texts, he immediately connected the white wolf with Ethan to Moonhowl.
He knew Ethan would look for this ancient text, so he had already prepared a copy.
However, when Ethan saw the information recorded in the ancient text, his face immediately showed a look of astonishment.
Apparently, the recorded information was vastly different from his previous assumptions!
