Those experts seemed to know a lot about the unprecedented war a thousand years ago, especially the black-robed Lamore. He was clearly an authority on the war. Every question he raised was professional and methodical.
Unfortunately, the one sitting in front of them was not a real ancient guardian. Facing the questions raised by the experts, Hao Ren’s answer was limited. He could probably guess the nature of the world or make up his theological knowledge, but when it came to historical background, he could only avoid it on the grounds of memory loss after he woke up from such a long slumber.
However, it seemed that the scholars were not too concerned about his answers. Although Hao Ren avoided at least half of their questions, Lamore still earnestly probed him about other things.
Shortly after, Willie, who had remained silent all the while, decided to cut in, “The Cassouin Grand Temple is on top of the holy mountain, isn’t it? Can you describe the temple?”
“The temple?” Hao Ren looked at the count curiously. “Does this have anything to do with the whereabouts of the Wolfwalker?”
“No.” Willie laughed, feeling a little embarrassed. “I’m just curious. Even though I’m not a member of the Sanctum, my belief in the goddess of creation is beyond doubt. Those lost shrines have an indescribable attraction to me.”
Hao Ren could not find any reason to refuse so he nodded and explained, “Mount Cassouin isn’t very high, but the temple on the mountain is a really magnificent building. It consists of three parts, the center of which is a huge cylinder…”
The scholars nodded as he spoke. At the end of his description, Lamore looked up and asked, “Lord Guardian, I’ve heard that there are two ancient weapons in the Cassouin Grand Temple; the Radiant Disc and the Sky Heart. Do you know them?”
Hao Ren paused for a moment before he smiled and asked, “Why are you asking about them?”
“Every ancient weapon is a powerful weapon against Chaos. In ancient times, countless sacred weapons built an impenetrable barrier in the world. Back then, mortal civilization was strong enough to keep Chaos at bay in all the corners of the world. But as the war continued, more and more sacred weapons were lost. Our world order has gradually shrunk and declined so getting every weapon back is critical. Now that you are awake, there may be a chance to see the two ancient weapons again. Do you know where they are?”
Hao Ren blinked. He then looked at Willie and asked, “Your sister must have told you about our journey through the land of Chaos?”
“Of course. She was very proud of that experience and has told me about it many times.”
“Then you should know that I sheltered all of the knights with a disc, which emitted holy light. That disc could shine on forever, even in the most chaotic places. Its energy is inexhaustible.”
Willie stared at Hao Ren with wide eyes. “Is that…”
“Oh, that’s the Radiant Disc. I haven’t gotten the disk back yet. I think it’s still in the hands of Veronica’s standard-bearer. As for the Sky Heart… I don’t know where it is. It was chaotic when I was asleep. It’s pretty hard to keep even one weapon in that situation.”
Willie’s pupils contracted for a split second, but he soon regained his calm and smiled, nodding at Hao Ren. “You’re right. We can’t be too greedy. I didn’t realize that an ancient weapon had returned to us… I must report this to His Majesty immediately.”
Shortly after, he glanced at a golden clock in a corner not far away and patted his head. “Lord Guardian, please wait a moment. I’ll tell my men to prepare lunch for you. You have seen the banquet prepared by His Majesty, but you will probably like the meal we’ve prepared for you too.”
Count Willie rang a silver bell as he spoke, and soon, an attendant came in. The count whispered a few words to the attendant, who then bowed and left.
