Chapter 664 Reclaiming Celestia Vale
Francis took out the last three crystals and said, "The Magic Circle can automatically conceal the location of the crystals. Crystals in the void naturally can't be buried underground; hiding them in mid-air makes them less likely to be discovered!"
After speaking, Francis casually waved his hand and threw two of the crystals towards the edge of the artificial lake.
The crystals floated quietly in mid-air.
Once he felt the position was suitable for Chloe and the others to easily jump onto, Francis used his super energy to cast a few spells on the two crystals. After a flash of blue light, the two crystals slowly became ethereal and eventually disappeared from Ethan's sight.
After putting away the last crystal, Francis slowly said to Ethan. "The coordinates for the passage here have been set. I'll place this last crystal outside the Breeze Pavilion in the Tiger Mount secret realm. From this entrance, you can directly reach the Breeze Pavilion, making it easier to respond in case of any emergencies!"
"Now we have a double insurance. At least I can be at ease even if I'm not in Novaria. If anything happens, no matter where I am, I can return to Novaria through the Tiger Mount secret realm." Ethan nodded in satisfaction and said.
"Don't be too happy just yet. The Tiger Mount secret realm is now rooted. Once the last Magic Circle is set up, the secret realm will be connected to Novaria. If you're too far away, even with the Sun and Moon Beads opening a space passage, it will come at a great cost. It might even drain your super energy, making it impossible to open the passage back!" Francis warned with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Ethan recalled the time he had snatched the Grail and opened a space passage to return from the Tiger Mount secret realm, but he didn't take it to heart.
How far could it be, anyway? He had no plans to go abroad again, at least not for the time being!
The Magic Circle at the villa was already set up. The remaining tasks in the Tiger Mount secret realm would naturally be handled by Francis, and Ethan didn't plan to worry about them. He was confident Francis would handle everything properly!
After opening the space passage to send Francis back to the Tiger Mount secret realm, Ethan waited quietly by the artificial lake.
After a few minutes, the exit of the space passage where Francis had placed the crystals appeared in mid-air.
Francis then walked out directly from it.
"The space passage is open. I came out to inform you. Are you relieved now?" Francis asked, looking at Ethan, who hadn't left yet, with a speechless expression.
"Why wouldn't I trust you? I'm waiting because I have something else to ask you!" Ethan explained seriously.
"What is it?" Francis immediately frowned.
He knew Ethan had chosen to talk outside the secret realm to avoid Raymond and Phoenix noticing.
"It's about Celestia Vale. Raymond and Phoenix must have talked to you a lot about how to handle Celestia Vale in the future, right?" Ethan asked straightforwardly.
"What do you plan to do, according to your idea?" Francis asked in return.
"Of course, we need to take it back. But before that, we need to reshuffle the deck! I don't believe that after so many years, Neil hasn't cultivated his own loyal followers in Celestia Vale. The original people in Celestia Vale, only those willing to join the ZF Guild and truly loyal can stay. As for the others, you and they can decide how to handle them!" Ethan directly stated his intentions.
"According to what you said, perhaps nine-tenths of the people will have to leave Celestia Vale. Do you know what impact this will have on the outside world?" Francis reminded with a frown.
"I know what you're worried about. You're all concerned that once these people leave Celestia Vale, they will be unrestrained and cause chaos, right?" Ethan seemed to have anticipated Francis and the others' concerns.
"You know that and still want to do it? Do you have some other plan?" Francis couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The best way to deal with these unstable factors is to eliminate them once and for all!" Ethan reminded with a calm expression.
"You mean, kill them all?" Francis widened his eyes in shock.
He never expected Ethan to have such a crazy idea!
"If I really planned to do that, would you agree?" Ethan asked.
"What do you think? Don't joke around. You must have another plan!"
After the initial shock, Francis quickly reacted and glared at Ethan with some dissatisfaction.
"Couldn't fool you. Fine, I won't hide it from you. My plan is simple: everyone in Celestia Vale, without exception, will be withdrawn. But Celestia Vale won't be disbanded. Those who want to stay and re-enter Celestia Vale must follow the law enforcement elders to guard the border. I have a feeling that the next move from Cross Christianity won't be a small one!" Ethan said seriously.
Hearing this, Francis fell silent.
He understood Ethan's intention. Using the people from Celestia Vale to guard against the invasion of Cross Christianity was indeed the best choice. It also allowed them to screen out uncertain elements and those with ulterior motives, killing two birds with one stone.
As for Celestia Vale, even if it were disbanded, Francis wouldn't mind. The ZF Guild preferred quality over quantity and didn't want to repeat the mistakes of a thousand years ago!
But now, with internal and external troubles, almost half of Celestia Vale's people were stationed at the border. If the remaining half also left, the internal deterrent would completely disappear. If the hidden sects got wind of this, it might lead to more trouble and recklessness!
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Francis pondered for a long time before staring at Ethan to confirm again.
"Yes, the Celestia Vale secret realm must be reclaimed, and the ZF Guild needs to grow stronger. I don't want the ZF Guild to decline under my watch! I know what you're worried about. Hills Guild and FW Guild will definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble for me, even inciting national unrest!" Ethan's tone was firm and undeniable, and he also pointed out Francis's biggest concern.
Clearly, he had already thought about this and seemed to have a plan to deal with it!
"Knowing all this, you still dare to do it?" Francis asked, staring at Ethan suspiciously.
"Destruction before construction. Compared to the imminent awakening of the alien leader, do you think our concerns are significant?" Ethan's rhetorical question left Francis speechless!
