Noel and Alan looked at Fane as if he was kidding. However, this was not the first time this has happened and so Noel quickly brought him up to date.
'The Thousand Leaves Pavilion is the second fourth-grade Clan association and also one of the two most powerful Clan associations within the West Cercie States. Our Dual Sovereign Pavilion is also strong but compared to the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, it is still found wanting.
"In fact, both the Dual Sovereign Pavilion and the Muddle Origin Clan are within the jurisdiction of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion. There must be a reason why the Thousand Leaves Pavilion suddenly stopped the battle between the two Clan associations. Moreover, I heard that it was
the pavilion master of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion who personally handled the matter.
"Since the pavilion master came forward himself, our Dual Sovereign Pavilion and Muddled Origin Clan, which are both third-grade Clan associations, dare not defy his orders. But the Thousand Leaves Pavilion had never meddled in this kind of matters before and normally turned a blind eye even if many skilled fighters died in the war between two Clan associations."
After explaining, Noel looked into the distance with a contemplative expression on his face. Fane nodded and with a hint of uncertainty said, "So what you're saying is something huge is about to happen and the pavilion master of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion had no choice but to come forward to stop the war between the two Clan associations? And we’re kept in the dark because of our lower status?'
Noel nodded his head. It was exactly what he meant. "We will find out in the future, but the cessation of the war is also a good thing for us. Although the war will sharpen our combat effectiveness and is good for the improvement of our cultivation base, it is nonetheless very dangerous. I will never want to participate in a war like that."
Fane nodded nonchalantly. Noel suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He retracted his gaze from a distance and focused it on Fane. From the storage space, he took out two sets of palm-sized array boards and put them in front of Fane.
“Take these two small defense array boards. It will come useful to you in these critical times.” These two small defense arrays were engraved with rune curse seals and were exuding a faint cyan light.
These rune curse seals constantly exchanged positions which changed the shape of the rune curse seals. Although they were small, they were nonetheless lovingly and exquisitely crafted by a master.
Fane felt that the gift was too dear, and immediately shook his head, but before he could say anything, Noel said, "As I said, where you're going, you'll need it more than I do and if you feel that this is too costly, you can always pay me back in contribution points. I know you don't like to owe people favors so treat it as I'm lending it to you."
Noel’s words had the effect of lifting Fane's burden but then he suddenly thought of something and immediately shook his head again. "How do you know I'm going to
Mount Beasts next?" Noel chuckled and glance course you're going to Mount Beasts. Even though you tried to suppress your emotions, I could tell you were really interested in that place when Morton and Gerald were discussing in front of us. You can indeed earn a lot of points in that place. What you lack most currently is points. The only logical option after the battlefield is Mount Beasts."
Fane nodded. "I do plan to go in the near future, but I haven't decided when to go. I keep on having this feeling that this time, things are a little weird. It's better to stay here for a few days."
The three of them chatted for a while more and Fane left after receiving the small defense array boards. On the way back, Fane wanted to stop by the Seven Stars Hall but decided against it. He planned to exchange his last remaining ten points for a map of the Mount Beasts that shows the
danger rating of each area.
