In a cold voice, Claude said to Ezio, “Step back. Didn't you hear what Mr. Chance said?”
Ezio was utterly speechless, but all he could do was find somewhere else to go.
Jared made his way to the ancient tree. Staring up at its towering height that pierced the clouds, he was utterly awestruck.
That was because Jared seemed incredibly insignificant under this ancient tree.
Jared gently caressed the tree trunk, not rushing his investigation. After all, he was uncertain whether there truly was an arcane array within that tree.
If he were to recklessly probe with his spiritual sense and actually alert the people at the city lord mansion, he would truly be in hot water.
He reckoned not many people knew the secret of that ancient tree.
If Jared were to find out about the secret, those people would surely not let him out of prison.
After taking a careful look at the ancient tree, Jared waved at Claude.
Upon seeing that, Claude hurriedly went over.
“Why are they keeping you imprisoned?” Jared asked.
“I'm not imprisoned!” Claude answered.
“What?” Jared looked surprised. “In that case, why are you here?”
“I've been specifically assigned to guard this ancient tree and prevent anyone from recklessly approaching it!” Claude answered truthfully.
“Aren't there guards in the prison? Could it be that those guards aren't capable of watching over the ancient tree? Why did they have to specifically send you to do it?”
