Chapter 642 Too Late
Angel and Orla weren't of a different race, but they were indeed not from this world. They came from another world to support during the invasion of the foreign races.
They were not sealed by others; they sealed themselves!
According to ancient records, as the war was nearing its end, the powerful leader of the foreign races was almost invincible. Seeing that the war was about to be lost, Angel, as an outsider, chose to use an ancient sealing technique, using her own body as the foundation of the Magic Circle to seal the leader.
Orla, who was loyal to Angel, also used the same method to seal an enemy general.
However, such a seal could only last for two thousand years. When Angel and Orla finally awaken, the seal would disappear, and the sealed foreign beings would be freed!
In other words, Angel and Orla used their seal to exchange for two thousand years of stability in this world, preventing it from being occupied by foreign races!
"Angel, your former name was Maeve Knight, the holy maiden of Spirit Race from Mystical Sacred Site, and Orla was your divine beast. Now I finally know who you are!"
After reading this record, Ethan felt an unusual heaviness in his heart!
He couldn't fathom the immense courage Maeve and Orla needed to sacrifice themselves for two thousand years to bring this world a long peace!
If it were Ethan, being sealed for two thousand years would probably have driven him insane!
"Maeve... I am Maeve, the Holy Maiden!"
Maeve's murmurs echoed continuously in Ethan's Sea of Consciousness.
While shocked, Ethan also felt fortunate. Although Maeve and Orla were outsiders, they stood on his side and were once the saviors of this world!
"Something's off!"
Soon, Ethan noticed something amiss. He hurriedly flipped through the ancient records in his hand but couldn't find the crucial information he wanted to know.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Ethan's strange expression, Francis frowned and asked.
"Is this all the records about Orla?"
Ethan immediately asked back.
"Yes, what else do you want to know?"
Francis asked.
Ethan didn't explain. He had a huge doubt in his mind. If Maeve sealed herself, who extracted her soul from her body, erased her memory, and locked her in the Requiem Tower of the SA Guild, turning her into a tower spirit?
This part of the information was not mentioned in the ancient records!
"Have you read all the ancient records of the SA Guild? Could there be missing information? For example, information about Orla's master!"
Ethan asked persistently.
"No, most of the ancient records you brought in are about techniques and secret arts. There aren't many records of secrets, and most of them are about the SA Guild itself."
Francis shook his head, becoming more curious about Ethan's purpose for asking these questions.
There were no records of what happened after Maeve sealed herself, but that was exactly the crucial information Ethan was desperately seeking now!
"What are you thinking about? Haven't you realized the seriousness of the problem?"
Francis reminded him irritably.
"What do you mean?"
Ethan asked, somewhat confused.
"The seal! Orla has awakened, and the seal is lifted, so the foreign general she sealed is also freed!"
Francis almost got angry at Ethan. How could he overlook such important information?
Hearing this, Ethan finally realized, and Phoenix, who was still somewhat puzzled, also showed a horrified expression.
Although Phoenix hadn't read the ancient records of the SA Guild and didn't know the details of Orla's self-sealing, he caught an important piece of information from Francis's words!
The foreign general, the first fierce general under the foreign leader, was about to awaken!
"Orla, do you know that when you awaken, the foreign general also awakens?"
Ethan turned to Orla and asked.
This time, he didn't use the Sea of Consciousness to communicate. Only a few people were present, and everyone present knew Orla's identity as a divine beast, so it wasn't surprising that she could speak.
"Master, are you talking about the guy who awakened with me?"
Orla's response made Ethan raise an eyebrow.
Indeed, the foreign general had awakened!
"Yes, what is his situation now? Is he still at the place where you sealed him?"
Ethan asked urgently.
He had been busy looking for information about Maeve and hadn't thought about this. Thanks to Francis's reminder, he realized he had overlooked a significant hidden danger!
"He left after awakening. I don't know where he went. He is more free in his actions. I tried to leave with him, but I was injured by those people as soon as I got out!"
Orla said with some anger in her tone.
"He didn't attack you?"
Ethan asked in surprise.
"Why would he attack me?"
Orla asked back.
Ethan was momentarily speechless. Orla was in a state of amnesia, so it wasn't surprising she would ask such a question. If they were at peace, could it be that the foreign general also had amnesia?
"Anyway, let's go back to Vast Mountain and see! Maybe I can find some clues about him!"
Francis reminded Ethan.
Realizing his oversight might have let a hidden danger slip away, Ethan didn't say much and quickly left the Tiger Mount with Francis.
Phoenix was still recovering, so it was better for him to stay here. With Ethan, Francis, Kenneth, and Orla, they should be able to handle any problems.
Ethan felt fortunate that he didn't realize the potential danger at Vast Mountain after returning to Novaria!
However, when they arrived at Vast Mountain, they found it empty, with no trace of any outsiders.
"It seems we are a step too late. The foreign general has indeed escaped!"
Francis's face was serious. The ancient records didn't specify the exact information about the foreign general, so it was impossible to determine his strength now!
"He just woke up from the seal, so he should be very weak and need time to recover his strength. Given the current situation, he is probably hiding to gather strength and will reappear when the time is right. His strength shouldn't be too strong; otherwise, there would be no need to hide from us!"
Kenneth analyzed.
"You woke up with him. Do you know his strength when he woke up?"
Ethan asked Orla.
Perhaps only she knew the state of the foreign general when he woke up!
"About the same as me."
Orla's explanation made the three present breathe a sigh of relief.
This meant that the foreign general had only master-level strength when he woke up, which was good news. At least he was still within a controllable range.
