Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 757 The Cardinals' Shocking Decision

?

At this moment, another wind blew, distracting everyone away from her glimmering beads of tears that masked her eyes.

Yet the mentor smiled when he saw her tears, patted on her head twice before turning towards William's friends, "let's go! Our window lies when the wind blows. Let's go, keep your distance close from me, and follow my orders to the letter. In my spirit, I vow to protect all of you to the best of my abilities. Let's go!"

Without even realising it, William's friends' impression about that mentor totally changed from south to north!

The mentor acted in this crucial moment as their leader, and his presence and actions, his words and attitude, all gave them hope and weird confidence in their ability to survive, survive long enough until William would return.

Without hesitating anymore, they all walked after the mentor, following his footsteps until they passed outside the protective layer of the white fog. The moment they went there, they vanished from the sights of everyone.

Anjie kept following them with her eyes until they vanished. And the moment they did, her body trembled, and she looked as if she got jolted awake from a spell or something.

She didn't realise she kept in her weird status for much longer than she thought. And when she got jolted awake, she noticed the looks of everyone remaining here over her.

They looked deeply worried about her. It wasn't a secret how she considered the mentor as her godfather. And against what everyone expected, she showed the demeanour of being a daughter of a great monarch, the sole heir to the throne of her kingdom.

"Summon all of our strongest masters, the ones who are free and don't have anything to do right now. Let them go all towards the last place William was spotted at, search for him, and if they can't find him, let them stay there until they find him."

"Yes, my lady," everyone knew why she gave such an order. Even if many had their own doubts and opinions, they kept them all to themselves.

Anjie was barely hanging up with a thread to hope, hoping that they'd find William and bring him here before her mentor would perish at the other side of the wall.

Least to her expectations that William wasn't even in this continent anymore. And now all that was left for her, for her mentor, for William's friends, was the mercy of fate and destiny.

Away from all this, William was in his room thinking about everything he learnt so far from the scrolls. He gained tons of knowledge that he didn't know before about the Mystic Arts and the Cult. And yet he had a lot more questions than before.

As he was in his dilemma, he got summoned at last by the Cardinals. The latter finalised their plans to fortify their bases and better defend it. Yet they had one little problem that they couldn't solve.

Ironically enough, the solution they came up with laid in William's hands. And more ironically, the solution they thought of wouldn't only satisfy William's needs and previous request, but would also open a grand door for him, one that he never dared to think about before.

When William returned to the big meeting hall, he didn't see anything different there. The Cardinals stored away all the maps and scrolls they used in the past days, and were sitting in their places, waiting for William.

Yet the latter could sniff the change in atmosphere in the hall. It felt like there was some sort of weird tension and anxiety, as if the Cardinals were eager to close the deal with him.

Yet he never expected they wanted to give him a new offer. "Are you telling me that you don't just want to make a deal with me about fighting the enemies who want to take down this world, but also want to start a long-term alliance with my guild?!"

William couldn't help but blurt out loud the moment he heard what the Grand Cardinal just said. The latter told him that the Cult wanted to not only work together to bring down the enemies threatening the world, but also construct a long-term alliance with him.

To William, this news was like music to his ears. And yet he knew there weren't any free goods in this world. So, he waited for the answer of the Grand Cardinal to make up his mind about such an unexpected offer.

"Not only that," and when William thought the surprises the Grand Cardinal had for him was over, he added another shocking piece of news, "we decided to make a historical decision and make an exception for your guild. We extend our hand towards you, giving the guild the chance to be part of our grand Cult."

"Are you telling me you want to let my guild join your cult? But I work for no one," Wiliam knew this was a grand chance, one that he didn't intend to throw away. And yet he had to make out the clear line between him and the leaders of the Cult. if they wanted to control him and his guild, order him and others around, then they had to keep dreaming about that.

"We don't have such idea in our minds," the Grand Cardinal paused, before waving his arms around, "it's indeed true all of the ones joining the Cult must be assigned to a task to do, answer any call from the Cardinal Council, but I have another proposal for you and your guild."

"Which is?"

"We want to establish a new division," the Grand Cardinal looked around, as if he was looking for something, "there, that empty seat will belong to you if you accept our offer."

"...!!!" William's shock was boundless when he heard such words. He thought it would be hard to convince these Cardinals to work with him, never imagined they wouldn't just agree, but would also extend such a generous offer to him.
