Chapter 1785


    As for what this magic symbol was for, X Quest had no idea.


    X looked at the space before her, confused. "Chief Kroe... What''s this for?"


    However, she didn''t get any reply from Cornelius Kroe.


    X knew that he wasn''t going to answer her.


    Stanley Batton slowly picked up the talisman and examined them repeatedly.


    However, he couldn''t understand what they were either.


    "I think these are probably good for us. Let''s just keep them with us," X said as she looked at Stanley.


    Stanley slowly nodded...


    After that, X carefully folded the talisman and put them in her coat''s pocket.


    She then held Stanley''s hand and left the room with questions on her mind.


    Once the two had left the room, they reluctantly walked out of the temple with their bodyguards.


    They were clear about Cornelius'' thoughts.


    He had made up his mind not to tell them anything.


    Moreover, they also couldn''t resolve what they were about to encounter.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Hence, they decided just to leave and not keep bugging him.


    When they walked out of the temple, they had the same gloomy expression on their faces...


    Cold breezes came from all directions, and they made X shiver.


    "Let''s go... I''ll ask someone else to help," Stanley said softly while holding X tight.


    However, X shook her head helplessly. "There probably isn''t a way to solve this..."


    She no longer had any hope.


    Stanley frowned slightly. "There''ll always be a way. Believe me, okay?"


    With that, Stanley gently picked up X and started carrying her down the hill one step at a time.


    X allowed Stanley to carry her. Her gaze naturallynded upon the white temple at the top of the hill.


    Right then, a mysterious incident urred.


    The temple suddenly disappeared before her very eyes, just like how Cornelius vanished.


    There was neither sight nor sound of it.


    X felt chills down her spine when she saw this.


    What was going on?


    Why would the temple disappear too?


    Was it all imaginary?


    Could the people they saw not be humans at all?


    Who were those people?


    Immediately after that, an even more mysterious incident urred...


    One of the bodyguards behind X looked around confusedly before turning to face X and Stanley. "Mr. Batton, why are we here? This is in the middle of nowhere. There aren''t any people around either. Are we here for a pic?"


    "It''s a


    be had winter day. We shouldn''t


    be having a pic in a barrennd like this." The bodyguard seemed confused.


    Meanwhile, another bodyguard smacked him on the head. "How could we be here for a pic? Wouldn''t Mr. Batton have asked us to prepare stuff for a pic? Clearly, Mr. Batton brought Ms. Quest here to look at the scenery..."


    X felt thoroughly confused by their conversation.


    They were here for the temple.


    Why were these two bodyguards behaving as if they''d forgotten why they were here in the first ce? The other people had simr expressions on their faces.


    These people didn''t seem to remember that there was a temple here that they had entered previously.


    That was because they didn''t seem to question how the temple suddenly disappeared at all.


    "Sigh... We finally reached the peak. I''m exhausted..." Another bodyguard said.


    His words made X feel even more certain in her heart.


    Clearly, these people misunderstood something. They thought they had just reached the peak.....
