"Damn it! Stop her!"
The other guards were shocked and shouted loudly.
If Liltotto were to enter Pangea Castle or harm a Celestial Dragon, it would be a major dereliction of duty, and their entire families could be killed!
Liltotto clicked her tongue and ignored them; they posed no threat to her anyway.
However, the arrogant Liltotto soon sensed someone approaching.
These people were different from the previous small fry; they were likely experts.
This must be the Knights of God that Beltz mentioned.
Soon, a blond man appeared before Liltotto. Most striking was his hair, which was shaped like a crescent moon. Even Liltotto was momentarily stunned by the sight.
Pfft... she mocked, "What an ugly hairstyle."
"To dare mock a god." Figarland Garling, who had just arrived, heard Liltotto's mockery. His face darkened instantly, and he immediately drew his sword to strike at Liltotto.
"You look like someone who can deliver a message."
Watching Garling draw his sword and charge, Liltotto remained completely unfazed, saying calmly, "Go tell that 'highest authority' that I have information regarding the Ancient Kingdom to share with them."
!
Just hearing the words 'Ancient Kingdom' made Garling almost want to swing his blade and hack this woman into pieces!
This was the truth of the Void Century that they had spent so much effort trying to bury. How did this person know about it?!
But just as his blade was about to reach the top of Liltotto's head, he forcibly controlled himself and stopped his movement!
The sword hung suspended right above Liltotto's head!
Saint Garling stared intently at Liltotto, trying to discern something from her expression.
This woman seemed to be here to tell them information about the Ancient Kingdom? She didn't seem to be one of those rebels researching the Void Century.
"Garling, what's going on?"
At this moment, other members of the Knights of God arrived. Seeing Garling standing before a blonde little girl, they couldn't help but ask with a frown.
"Quickly, protect Saint Garling!"
The guards had also arrived by then, along with the Marine. Whenever it involved the Celestial Dragons, the Marine's response was always very swift.
"A bunch of fools, get lost!"
Saint Garling barked coldly at the guards who had rushed over.
"But... Saint Garling... ah!"
One person tried to say something, but Saint Garling cut him down with a single stroke!
The others quickly backed away, wondering what kind of madness the Celestial Dragon was having.
"Garling, what are you doing?"
The other Divine Knights also frowned at Garling, not knowing what game he was playing.
Garling ignored the others and said to Liltotto in a heavy voice, "If you dare lie to me, there will be no good end for you."
"Can we have less nonsense?" Liltotto said with some boredom. "Hurry up, I want to see the person who can make the decisions."
Garling gave Liltotto a deep look, sheathed his sword, and said, "Follow me. I will take you to see the Gorosei."
This involved the Void Century; the matter was too significant for him to decide on his own.
No, let alone him, even the Gorosei would likely have to consult His Majesty.
"Garling!"
His companions were even more shocked: "You're actually taking someone of unknown origin to see the Gorosei?!"
"Damn it, have you been controlled?"
"Shut up, you fools," Garling said irritably. "Get out of my way!"
He was in no mood to argue uselessly with these people right now.
Once they saw the Gorosei, everything would naturally become clear.
As for safety... Hmph, Lord Imu is also in Pangea Castle. Is there any place in this world safer than being near Lord Imu?
Seeing that Garling didn't look like he was being controlled, and considering his status, the Knights of God stepped aside to clear a path, though they were still confused.
Thus, Garling led Liltotto to the Room of Authority.
"What's happening outside?"
The Room of Authority—the place where the five most powerful people in the world resided.
The Gorosei, known as the world's highest authority, controlled the development of the world's situation from this very room.
Seeing Garling enter first, the standing Saint Marcus Mars asked with a frown.
"Because something occurred that needs to be reported to His Majesty, I had to come see you all first." After Garling finished speaking, Liltotto also walked in.
Liltotto had taken another lollipop out of her pocket and was currently sucking on it.
Upon entering and seeing the Gorosei, she showed no fear whatsoever.
So this is the highest authority in this world. As expected, they're all old men.
"So you're the Gorosei."
Liltotto said softly.
"And who are you?" the short-tempered Saint Topman Warcury spoke up directly. "Garling, what are you doing, bringing a mortal here?"
"She is no ordinary mortal," Garling said softly.
"Everyone, she knows of the existence of the Ancient Kingdom."
?!
"What?!"
"How is that possible..."
"The Ancient Kingdom..."
"This person..."
The Gorosei's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, and they looked at Liltotto with disbelief.
"Researching the Void Century... do you want to die?" Saint Warcury said in a heavy voice.
"You should save your meaningless threats," Liltotto said without fear.
"I am here to negotiate terms with you."
"...What do you mean?"
"The Ancient Kingdom that fought against you back then was not completely destroyed; ruins were left behind," Liltotto said softly.
"I come from there. In a sense, I was originally part of your enemy forces."
"?! Impossible. It's impossible for anyone from that kingdom to have survived. Back then..."
"Of course, in this world, there are indeed no survivors," Liltotto interrupted the Gorosei directly and said, "But that doesn't mean there aren't any in other worlds."
"..." The Gorosei looked at each other at this moment, then finally looked back at Liltotto.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that in the war that caused the world's sea level to rise by two hundred meters, someone accidentally discovered another spatial passage and left a spark of life in another world."
Liltotto said solemnly, "Now, nearly eight hundred years have passed, and the people in that world have rebuilt a massive empire."
"They are waiting for the right moment. When 'Nika' appears again, they will respond to the 'Drums of Liberation' to finish that war that didn't end eight hundred years ago."
This was absolutely incredible, yet the Gorosei had no choice but to believe it.
Because what Liltotto said was definitely not something an ordinary person could know!
