The staircase was very deep, and the darkness ahead seemed endless.
Fang Hong turned back at this moment and asked again: "What are the facts?"
"The facts are not that simple, quite the opposite, in fact. It wasn't that those wandering Alchemists were using them; it was that they were being used by those Alchemists. After the 'attack,' those wandering Alchemists mysteriously disappeared in no time, as if they had never existed."
"No matter how we tried to investigate afterward, we couldn't find a single trace of them. The only thing we know is some slight connections they had with this cult."
"And because the 'Blind Followers' cult has always been secretly circulating among slave traders, His Majesty Barbaltan intensified the crackdown on the slave trade afterward, aiming to seek clues from it. At the same time, we've been searching for the whereabouts of the wandering Alchemists and related clues across the land, but unfortunately, not much has been gained in ten years."
