Chapter 298 She's actually quite easy to talk to.

Chapter 298 She's actually quite easy to talk to.

Li Ang knocked on the door.

"Come in," Celeste's voice came from inside the door.

Li Ang pushed open the door and entered. Celonster looked up from behind a pile of documents, and when he saw it was him, a hint of easing appeared on his serious face: "Li Ang, you're back. I just happened to have something to discuss with you." He gestured for Li Ang to sit down and then asked, "Well, first of all, how are the negotiations going with Mount Asos?" Celonster asked, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

"Did the dragons agree to let Olivia return?"

In his view, the dragons' main goal was to get Diana back to the Holy Mountain, and Olivia was just a secondary request. If Li Ang could offer enough attractive terms to the dragons, there might be room for negotiation.

Li Ang nodded, his tone flat: "Yes, Olivia has been brought back and is now resting in her dorm."

Celeste nodded slightly, a "I knew it" look on his face, seemingly believing that Leon had achieved his goal through negotiation or a deal: "It seems you have good negotiation skills. However, what price did you pay to get her freedom? Dragons are not easy to deal with, especially red dragons, who are notoriously stubborn and arrogant."

Li Ang thought for a moment, then decided that explaining it would be too complicated, and the process did indeed—not quite fit the definition of conventional negotiation. So he simply said, "Well, that High Priest of the Light Dragon over there—was quite easy to talk to. We only had a brief exchange," and they agreed to let me bring Olivia back.

"Exchange?" Cyronster keenly caught the somewhat ambiguous word, his eyes filled with inquiry.

"Yeah, I got into a fight with them," Li Ang added, his tone still calm, as if he were talking about something trivial.

Theronst's fingers, which were tapping on the table, suddenly stopped. He looked up, staring blankly at Li Ang, as if he hadn't processed the amount of information in those words.

A fight? On Mount Athos, with the dragons? And then they brought the person back? How is that possible?

He looked at Li Ang's calm and expressionless face, opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask for details, but in the end, reason prevented him from delving into it.

"Anyway, it's good that everyone is back safe and sound. You said you were going to report?"

"Yes, Deacon. This time on the Holy Mountain, I obtained some new, more specific and urgent information about the End." Leon's expression turned serious.

After Li Ang presented the four conclusions he had drawn up, Celeste could no longer maintain his usual composure.

He suddenly stood up, the chair behind him screeching as it scraped against the floor.

His face was filled with astonishment and disbelief, his pupils contracted slightly, and his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "What did you say? The end—has already begun? Is this news reliable? How accurate is it?"

Li Ang nodded solemnly: "The information comes from the slumbering Ancestral Dragon on the Holy Mountain, an ancient being who has lived through at least eleven civilization eras. Although they are fragments of memories, their direction is very clear. My personal judgment is that they are highly likely to be accurate. We must begin preparing immediately, based on the worst-case scenario."

Celeste paced back and forth in his office, his chest heaving slightly, clearly trying to process the earth-shattering news.

After a long while, he forced himself to sit down again, pressing his fingers hard against his temples, his face unusually solemn.

"If this is true—all of the alliance's original plans and timelines must be completely overturned, and the level of urgency must be raised to the highest level."

He muttered to himself, then looked at Li Ang with sharp eyes, "Your intelligence is invaluable. I will immediately compile it into a top-secret report and submit it directly to the Alliance's Supreme Council. This matter—will likely cause a huge uproar."

He paused, as if remembering something else about finding Li Ang, temporarily pulling himself out of the shock of the End information, and said. #

"By the way, the intelligence you brought back last time regarding the Avalon Elf Kingdom and the periodic events of the End" has been highly valued by the Alliance's higher-ups. While some leaders remain cautiously hesitant about your proposed alliance with the Elf Kingdom, your close relationship with the Dwarf Kingdom is undeniable. Therefore, after internal discussion, the Alliance has decided that if the opportunity for contact with Avalon arises, you will serve as the Alliance's special liaison between the Alliance and both the Elves and Dwarves, responsible for coordinating related matters. After all, you have direct connections and a foundation of trust with both sides."

Li Ang was not surprised by this and nodded in agreement: "I understand. If a suitable opportunity arises, I will convey to His Majesty August of Avalon the Alliance's desire for formal contact and dialogue."

"Very good." Ceronst's expression softened. He picked up another document on the table, glanced at it, and said, "There's one more thing. You left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have a chance to say it. Now that you've returned safely and Olivia has rejoined the team, the 'suspended' status of Special Operations Group One is officially lifted from now on. Your group is restored to its original structure and authority."

He paused, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, and added, "Also, regarding the 'missing' furniture from your group's original location, I've already had it replaced with the original furnishings."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang gave an awkward yet polite smile: "Steward, actually, those furniture pieces—I moved them; they're in my floating workshop."

Celeste waved his hand, giving a look that said, "I don't want to know the details."

Seeing this, Li Ang said no more, stood up, bowed, and left the deacon's office, letting out a long sigh of relief.

The intelligence has been reported and the team has been able to resume operations. Although the road ahead is difficult, even hopeless, at least they still have hope.

After returning from the enforcement team, Li Ang spent the next few days immersed in meditation in his dormitory and training room.

Although their group's ban had been lifted, Li Ang was not in a hurry to resume accepting missions. He needed to use this rare time to practice several new level-three spells to further enhance his strength.

Inside the training room, Li Ang closed his eyes and concentrated. In his mental world, eighteen stars surrounding a star ring slowly rotated, and his immense mental power moved as if it were his own arm.

He did not use the Holy Mark, but simply activated his magic power in his normal state, and lightly tapped his wand forward [Level 3 Spell - Sky-Splitting Slash].

A pale blue wind blade, as thin as a cicada's wing and almost invisible, silently swept out, moving so fast that it left only a faint, distorted trace in the air.

The next moment, the [High-Quality Training Target (Gold Plated Version) Lv50] at the other end of the training room, which had been specially reinforced and had a layer of refined gold plating on its surface, trembled slightly.

In the center of the target, a thin but extremely deep cut runs straight down, instantly splitting the thick target in two.
