As for what this magic symbol was for, Xyla Quest had no idea.
Xyla looked at the space before her, confused. “Chief Kroe… What’s this for?”
However, she didn’t get any reply from Cornelius Kroe.
Xyla 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,” Xyla said as she looked at Stanley.
Stanley slowly nodded…
After that, Xyla 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.
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 Xyla shiver.
“Let’s go… I’ll ask someone else to help,” Stanley said softly while holding Xyla tight.
However, Xyla 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 Xyla and started carrying her down the hill one step at a time.
“It’s a cold winter day. We shouldn’t be having a picnic in a barren land like this.” The bodyguard seemed confused.
Meanwhile, another bodyguard smacked him on the head. “How could we be here for a picnic? Wouldn’t Mr. Batton have asked us to prepare stuff for a picnic? Clearly, Mr. Batton brought Ms. Quest here to look at the scenery…”
Xyla 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 place?
The other people had similar 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 Xyla feel even more certain in her heart.
Clearly, these people misunderstood something. They thought they had just reached the peak…
