u so sure? Did someone tell you!”
Phoebe’s eyes gleamed with curiosity as she studied Haylan. “Why are you so
Raylan chuckled lightly. “No one told me. There’s no one in this world who can control me.”
Phorbe, recognizing the power in his words, knew he wouldn’t be about something like that. She asked, “Did you, perhaps, use divination!”
Kaylan glanced at her with a smile. “You’re quick on the uptake. Yes, I did use divination. I found that the chance to leave this prison lies with you”
For years, he had performed the divination every year, but all his attempts had failed. It wasn’t until recently that someone approached him, saying they had discovered a horoscope master who might hold the answers.
Initially, Raylan had no interest, but a casual divination revealed that his fortune was tied to this person.
To his surprise, Phoebe was beyond his reach. He couldn’t see her facial features, couldn’t predict her future–something he had never encountered
before.
Phoebe, a bit taken aback, thought back to when she assamed Raylan had been sent by the person behind Sienna. Bur seemed clear he wasn’t concerned with them at all.
So, do you know how I can help you?” she asked.

Raylan, who had shown no ill intentions, seemed trustworthy. Given that Percival had trusted him too, she didn’t mind offering what assistance she

Raylan sighed, shaking his head. “I don’t know. People like us, when it comes to matters that are critical to can’t predict the specific
After the divination. Raylan had tried again, only to fail and even suffer a backlash.
Phoebe furrowed her brow. “If you don’t know, that makes things difficult.”
Raylan smiled indifferently. Everything will unfold in due time. I’ve waited for so long, I’m not in a nash” He glanced at Phoebe’s neck, adding, “Perhaps, when you uncover the secret of the emerald clasp, that could help me”
Phoebe had been careful to conceal the emerald clasp, using an aura concealing charm. Yet Raylan had still sensed in. He was impressive, she thought he might even be nearing the Ascendance Realm
–
She asked him directly, “Do you know the origin of this emerald clasp?”
Raylan replied, “I only know that it’s an ancient relie passed down from Percival’s ancestors.”
Phoebe, experienced as she was, immediately understood. “A medium artifact? Can it be used as a key?”
Raylan raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised. “You figured that out so quickly.”
The more he interacted with Ploche, the more intrigued he became. “Not just as a key. I’ve heard it also holds a map. A map to a place with an opportunity so alluring that even the Caelum Peritum would cover it”
Carlun Peritum were those who had reached the Ascendance Realm Raylan shrugged. “What’s on the map, I don’t know.”
Phoebe, however, was
as aware of the map’s existence. It was one of the clues left by Percival. But Percival himself had no idea how to activate it
She smiled and asked, “How old are you, if you don’t mind me asking?”
Haylan chuckled, amused. “You’re interested in that! Alright, I’m twenty–six.”
Phoebe rolled her eyes. “You expect me to believe that You’re probably much older than that
Kaylan couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s the point of lying? Go ahead, take a look for yourself”
Thule glanced at his hand, and as he drew it closer, she saw that the aura he had previously concealed had now dissipated
His features, oner unreadable, were now clear to her. She studied the lines on his palm, particularly his life line–it stopped at twenty–six, but in an unusual way, as though it simply vanished
She said, “So it really is twenty–six
Raylan pulled his hand back, grinning. “I told y

He had underestimated her once again. He self–deprecatingly said, “Yes, but even with immortality, what good is it if I can’t escape this prison?
Fortune and misfortune were two sides of the same coin, and Raylan’s current situation was the perfect example
