Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 988 A Slightly Panicked 'Toronto'

The Lord of Storms didn't seem to care much about the outcome, but the followers of Storms were truly struggling to cope.

Even storm believers from other countries were somewhat embarrassed.

Therefore, everyone who entered the Emilia Storm Maze this time was quite polite, and they ran away as soon as they saw someone... The Storm Follower knew that he had a bad temper and that he might get itchy to fight when he saw people, so he didn't even bother to meet the people on the other side.

Unable to see the other's provocative face, they naturally held back... That's what both sides thought.

Katarina scoffed in displeasure: "Idiot!"

"How so?" 'Toronto' looked at the Swift Wolf with great interest.

“The Lord of Storms wouldn’t consider that!” Katarina replied immediately. “The fact that those guys ended up with nothing only proves that none of them met the Lord of Storms’ requirements in their fighting style.”

"Hey~ Lori understands me best." The Lord of Storms replied happily.

He didn't think Katarina could come up with such an insightful statement.

Having been hanging in the Green Maple Castle for so long, how could he not know that Katarina's brain is usually in a state of storage?

Therefore, it must be Lowry's concluding remarks.

After all, without Lori's permission, Chesca and Valera would never easily unleash such a powerful weapon as Katarina.

This isn't a noisy, empty tunnel; no matter what happens, the unlucky ones are always outsiders.

If Katarina unleashes her ultimate attack in Emilia City, then... Louis and Luciano will probably have to team up to withstand it.

But if Lori releases Katarina in his name, the Swift Wolf will be more cautious... When she carries Lori's promise on her shoulders, she will be a little more astute and realize how tragic her fate will be if she breaks Lori's promise.

No matter how intelligent the Gale Wolves are, they are still wolfs by nature, and they will only respect the strong.

Although Chesca can rely on Lori's orders to command them, the Gale Wolves will be flexible and adaptable within permissible limits.

In other words, if they let the other party make the first move, they can just defend passively... After all, they just don't want to endure it, is there anything wrong with that?
The one who was wrong was that fool who knew how strong they were but still provoked them.

But if it's Lowry giving the order directly, these Gale Wolves will choose to endure it for the time being.

If he really wanted to take action, he would first ask Lowry for permission.

Therefore, the Lord of Storms laughed triumphantly.

"It is indeed difficult to distinguish you from the requirements of the Lord of Valor," 'Toronto' said honestly. "Most people will just become storms."

"I am named after the storm, and all the winds are me," the Lord of Storms replied calmly.

He doesn't like mindless fighters.

A warrior who embarks on a journey from which there is no return must know why he chose this path.

If it's just a momentary excitement or a momentary courage... then isn't that what makes someone a hero?

The Lord of Storms wouldn't even look at the Lord of Valor, who always walks on the edge of a cliff with his heels on the ground.

He was more curious about something else: "Why did you invite Katarina? It must have cost a lot of money to bring her along."

As a high-ranking mobile member of the Gale Wolf Caravan, Katarina can only leave the territory for extended periods of time upon receiving a mission invitation.

Bringing her here will cost a fortune!
"When I need to make a choice, I need some references that are free from any external influences," Toronto said with a somber expression.

"To put it bluntly, when he makes a choice, fate just likes to watch him make a fool of himself." Katarina used all her life experience to come up with an extremely subtle sarcastic remark.

After all, 'Toronto' paid her a very high fee for her advice.

Toronto glanced at her with a sigh, thinking that it would be better to just call him an unlucky guy.

If fate truly closed the door of good fortune to him, how could he possibly go on living?
He always believed that all those unfortunate misfortunes he had suffered were because he had abandoned his own world.

The reason they didn't become gods of the wilderness is because Zeus and his ilk bore the brunt of the sins, and because they cleverly brought out Mount Olympus, where divinity was concentrated.

Zeus's decision, though absurd, did indeed save some of the gods.

Even if they receive only a small share of the sinful debt, it is still a sinful debt.

The reason he was able to become one of the few beings in the multiverse who could communicate with the extremely mysterious and great divine power of the Song of Silence was because he was so unlucky that even the golden sphere of light, which only wanted to sing its own song and wander around, couldn't help but look over out of curiosity.

Although the Song of Silence would provide some helpful buffs to good creatures in danger when he passed by... not by actively helping, but by simply applying some buffs or directing his four moon dogs to repel evil... the previous 'Toronto' was not within his scope of attention.

But the utterly absurd situation in 'Toronto' made Silent Song unable to resist watching closely. Only then could she see through the eerie atmosphere outside 'Toronto' and realize that he still had some principles, so she offered him a small favor.

However, due to its current stage, the Song of Silence cannot touch physical objects and can only rely on a few Moon Dogs whose strength is barely sufficient for assistance. There was no other way; 'Toronto' had somehow managed to jump directly into a vacuum sphere with a diameter of one meter during its unlimited dimensional jump.

This thing is so sturdy that it's comparable to being compressed by the Lord of Wind himself... In other words, only someone level 42 or higher can break through this hole.

Toronto's strength is not bad, but it's not that high either.

Of course, he won't be unable to get out, nor will he suffocate from not being able to breathe, but it will take at least a hundred years to break the blockade.

The key point is that he really jumped in there inexplicably.

As Silent Singer passed by, singing his little tune, he saw this ball that looked somewhat like him and was also constantly emitting light.

Then we saw the reason why those lights appeared... the struggle of 'Toronto'.

The Silence Song, who hadn't shown any emotion for a long time, sang cheerful songs while directing the Moon Dog to help... Before this, although his singing could rival that of a top bard, it was always 'heartbreakingly beautiful'.

After several destructions and rebirths, the Song of Silence has not experienced joy for a long time.

Therefore, he was very grateful for the unexpected arrival of 'Toronto', which even gave him hope and blessings... After that, 'Toronto' found this world.

Although the result was good, the process... is something I really don't want to talk about again.

Toronto accepts that it is burdened by the sins of the past, and then misfortune follows.

But he refused to accept it, and the future held only misfortune for him.

“Katarina, fate will reopen the doors for me,” 'Toronto' said solemnly. “So, you must help me complete this maze trial!”

"Hmm?" Katarina tilted her head. "Only one game? Lowry said you might have to take me to the ends of the earth."

Toronto's hand trembled slightly: "He really said that?"

“Yes!” Katarina nodded firmly. “I will definitely ask him after receiving your invitation!”
Then he told me to be prepared to be away for a long time, and to bring back plenty of local specialties from Qingfeng, so I wouldn't have trouble finding good food while I was away.

“Phew…” Toronto let out a soft breath, feeling a sudden sense of calm.

Does what Lowry said mean that he will continue to manage these labyrinths with the gods?
Could it be that the ruler of this world will indeed benefit from this labyrinth, and may even appear within it?

He asked softly, "In your opinion, how long will this maze exist?"

"It would take twelve years to get to the seaside, wouldn't it?" the Goddess of Wealth replied. "What? Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Hades said he senses the seal will be completely broken in twelve years," 'Toronto' replied seriously. "Did you discuss this beforehand?"

"No," the Goddess of the Night replied immediately. "We just deduced it ourselves, based on the opening interval between the Northern Labyrinth and this labyrinth."

Although choosing Emilia was somewhat unexpected, once we decided on it, we gained some insights into the techniques for choosing time and place.

The interval should be similar to this time.

Toronto nodded slightly: "Twelve years?"

Then he asked, somewhat confused, "Is being twelve years old special in this world?"
I remember, when Lowry was twelve years old…

"How do you know he's twelve years old?" the Lord of Storms replied enigmatically. "Perhaps he has already appeared!"
Sixteen years old is normal.

After all, the world seal only began to weaken a few years ago.

Toronto was a little confused by what he said: "Impossible, right?"

"Why is it impossible?" The Sun God suddenly joined the conversation. "He may have even appeared long ago, but he just hasn't awakened his memories, so he has been living in human form."

Don't look at him with old eyes... He not only understands us very well, but he also understands himself very well.

Even without any memories or inherited talents, he would never be an ordinary person.

Toronto sounded a little panicked: "Then, there's something to look for?"

“We don’t need to look for him,” the sun god replied earnestly. “The greatest comfort we can give him is simply to complete our own tasks and bring stability to the world.”

He can do the rest himself; he doesn't need our help.

Toronto felt a sudden darkness engulf him... What should he do?
No wonder Lowry said he would follow this maze to the very end!
Toronto had no doubt that the gods were deceiving him.

What had just happened reminded him of Lori's earlier advice: if the Sun God wasn't involved in the conversation, and the topic was extremely serious and heavy, he should think it over for a while before speaking.

But if the sun god gets involved, he'd better make his thoughts and intentions clear, because the sun god won't allow him to take any chances.
