Chapter 645 The Helpless Raymond
"Daryl, give me a break, just leave for today!"
At this moment, an elderly voice suddenly rang out. A travel-worn Raymond appeared not far from the crowd, speaking calmly.
"Raymond? I didn't expect you to show up here. Is Celestia Vale planning to interfere in Hills Guild's affairs?"
Daryl's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Even though Raymond was only at the late stage of grandmaster, a level lower than him, Raymond's status as a senior elder of Celestia Vale made Daryl very apprehensive!
"Daryl, don't misunderstand. Celestia Vale will never interfere in the affairs of the hidden sects. I just happen to have some matters to discuss with Ethan. Please give us some leeway. The grudges between you can be settled later!"
Raymond chuckled lightly, not confirming or denying.
"Well, you don't need to find such a lame excuse. Since you've broken the rules today, I will definitely report this to Kirk and have the hidden sects demand an explanation from Celestia Vale!"
Daryl snorted coldly, his face looking grim. Although he threatened and said some harsh words, after finishing, he simply turned and left, disappearing in no time!
"He was so arrogant just now, but he ran away pretty fast!"
Ethan looked in the direction where Daryl disappeared, snorting indifferently.
"Ethan, you did well!"
Raymond glanced at Orla beside Ethan, nodding with satisfaction.
"Don't mention it, I'm quite frustrated right now. I have to say, Celestia Vale's intelligence is really unreliable!"
Ethan rolled his eyes, speaking in an unnatural tone.
"What do you mean by that?"
Raymond was taken aback, asking curiously.
"See for yourself!"
Ethan said, tossing the ancient book Francis had given him to Raymond.
Raymond took the book and flipped through it for a while, his face becoming serious.
"The information recorded in this book differs from what Celestia Vale has. What's going on?"
Raymond asked softly, frowning.
"That's why I said Celestia Vale's records are unreliable! You all even missed such crucial information about the seal!"
Ethan's mocking words not only made Raymond feel awkward but also made Francis's face look unpleasant!
"The ancient books preserved by Celestia Vale came from ZF Guild!"
Raymond reminded, looking at the frustrated Francis with a helpless expression.
Ethan was stunned, then became even more frustrated.
He had been mocking for a long time, only to end up mocking himself!
He was now the head of ZF Guild!
"Something's off, everyone. ZF Guild was a participant in the war two thousand years ago. If there were records of this matter, they shouldn't have missed such crucial information about the seal!"
Kenneth, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"What are you trying to say?"
Ethan's heart skipped a beat.
"Is it possible that Celestia Vale's books are incomplete or have been tampered with?"
Kenneth glanced at Raymond, then voiced his speculation uncertainly.
Raymond and Francis frowned simultaneously, exchanging glances.
"This issue can only be clarified by the members of Celestia Vale!"
Ethan said, staring at Raymond suspiciously.
"The old ZF Guild split after that war. If someone really tampered with the ancient books or hid some information, there's no way to verify it now!"
Raymond shook his head with a wry smile.
"Alright, let's not discuss this for now. We probably won't get any results even if we discuss it for a long time. Raymond, why did you suddenly appear here? What's the matter?"
Ethan suppressed his frustration, quickly changing the topic.
"I came here for two reasons. First, to check on Moonhowl's situation. Second, to discuss Salvatore with you!"
Raymond explained, changing the subject.
"Salvatore?"
Ethan thought of Hugo, who had appeared in Vast Mountain that day, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes, didn't you already have an encounter with him in Vast Mountain?"
Raymond nodded and asked.
"Salvatore also came for Moonhowl Orla, and when he realized he had no chance, he simply left."
Ethan said indifferently.
"I rushed back from the border as soon as I heard the news. Have you thought about how Salvatore from Cross Christianity learned about Orla?"
Raymond nodded slowly and asked again.
"Isn't it obvious? Not to mention that there are traitors from Celestia Vale in Cross Christianity, Phoenix was ambushed by hidden sects colluding with Cross Christianity a few days ago. It must have been someone among these traitors who knew about this and leaked it to Cross Christianity!
Ethan had already analyzed the situation, explaining indifferently.
"Since you're here, it means things aren't that simple, right?"
Francis asked, staring at Raymond suspiciously.
"Yes, your guesses are mostly correct, but there are some things you can't grasp, like which hidden sect sold the information to Cross Christianity!"
Raymond reminded seriously.
"Do you have concrete intelligence?"
Ethan's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, that's what I wanted to tell you in person!"
Raymond showed a gratified expression, about to continue explaining when Ethan interrupted him!
"Wait, why are you telling me this? Are you going to assign me another task? One ML Guild already dragged Hills Guild into this mess, and I don't know how to handle it!"
Ethan realized he might be used as a tool again, raising his hand in frustration.
Raymond's face looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Is Neil still unwilling to come out at this point?"
Francis seemed to understand Raymond's difficulties, snorting unnaturally.
"Yes, he is still in seclusion. If it weren't for that, the hidden sects wouldn't dare to cause trouble now. Celestia Vale can't afford to fall out with them, so some things are more suitable for Ethan to handle!"
Raymond nodded with a bitter smile.
"Phoenix lost an arm, and Neil still has the leisure to stay in seclusion?"
Francis's face turned grim, clearly dissatisfied with Neil's indifferent attitude.
"Francis is right. Investigating the hidden sects should be Celestia Vale's responsibility. Don't expect me to help with everything!"
Ethan followed Francis's lead, reminding Raymond.
Raymond felt helpless as they blocked all his words.
"Fine, it's indeed too much to ask you to bear so much. Let's drop it!"
Raymond's sudden concession made Ethan and Francis exchange suspicious glances.
