James complimented him. Immediately afterward, his voice turned serious, “You know about the recent news about a wild boar attacking a village, followed by a big snake getting into a moat a few days after, right?”
Henry nodded. “Of course. How could such a gigantic wild boar and snake exist? Considering they had True Energy, I’m quite sure they aren’t regular animals. It’s terrifying.”
James said, “Actually, these are animals that have mutated.”
“Mutated?” Henry was taken aback.
James explained about Empyrean Spiritual Energy leaking from the Sealed Realm.
“Are you serious?”
Henry said grimly, “If this is true, then is chaos about to befall our Earth?”
James nodded and said, “Yes. It’s absolutely true. I came to you to discuss this matter. There are ten more years before the seal is completely open. Animals are already mutating into horrific creatures right now. The kinds of beasts that will appear in ten years are practically unimaginable. I need to take control of Sol, build powerful moats, and fortresses, and stockpile food. I need your help. If necessary, I’ll have to seize control of Sol by force.”
Henry immediately straightened up and said earnestly. “I’ll follow your orders. Once you give me the word, the Red Flame Army will surround the Capital in an instant.”
James waved his hand and said, “There’s no rush. I’ll visit the King and discuss a plan with him first. I only wanted to tell you in advance to be prepared because we’re short on time. Ten years may seem like a long time, but it’s hardly enough.”
“Alright.” Henry nodded.
After seeing Henry, James left for Peace Mansion.
Peace Mansion was the residence of the highest official of Sol, the King.
Outsiders were forbidden to enter, but James’ status in Sol was comparable to that of the King, so he was easily granted entrance into Peace Mansion.
However, the current King was still in a meeting.
Thus, James could only wait patiently within the mansion.
Before the new King arrived, the old King, Zacarius, had shown up.
Zacarius was currently assisting the new King with national affairs.
“James, what a surprise. I never expected you to return to the Capital.”
Zacarius smiled and took out a cigar, throwing it to James.
Then, he took off his coat and tossed it at Gloom who was behind him. James caught the cigar thrown at him.
“I’ve come to the Capital because of an important matter.”
