The people looked at each other, but in their eyes, one could see excitement and anticipation.
"Everyone." Wizard Shen Yu looked at them all now. "Stop lying on the ground."
"Yes!" Everyone immediately sat up, even the king who was grievously wounded by Divine Power struggled to rise with help from the others.
They no longer harbored any hesitation toward Wizard Shen Yu's command and orders.
Not merely because of his mighty strength and status, but because he was the only existence that could possibly save both themselves and their people!
"That is the situation." Wizard Shen Yu let Aivlette sit at his side, then looked at everyone and said gravely, "Helping you resist destruction, that is my trial, my task. But as you've just heard, the rules of the Divine Court forbid direct intervention or action, so neither you nor I can afford the slightest complacency simply because of the Divine Court's power. Understood?"
"We understand!" They responded again, all in unison.
