"Then... are we just going to do nothing?"
Xiuyan asked, blinking her eyes.
Although she ranked ninth in the Black Swallow Legion, her mission experience was limited. Most of the time, she was in the rear, responsible for treating the wounded.
"I don't know... this is my first time encountering this situation. This man is so powerful that I don't want to fight him from the bottom of my heart."
"No matter how strong the enemy was before, I would always feel motivated to fight. But this time, I feel a sense of discouragement. I don't know why..."
Marana sighed softly, following behind Zhang Chen and the others, speaking as she walked.
"Why are we following him? Shouldn't we go back and report?"
Xiuyan asked again.
"I... I don't know. I just want to follow that man. As for why, and what to do next, I have no answers..."
Marana said dejectedly.
"Why is this happening... this isn't a mental attack either..."
"I saw the future too, but why don't I have this thought?"
Xiuyan tilted her head, utterly perplexed.
"We're going to Warfire Fort. Do you still want to follow?"
"Also, who were your ancestors—I mean, the ancient ones from five hundred years ago. Do you know anything about them?"
Zhang Chen took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned to ask.
The reason he hadn't immediately opened a teleportation gate was because he was curious why these two girls weren't leaving.
Seeing them follow him for hundreds of meters after he had walked hundreds of meters, he couldn't help but ask.
"You are going to Warfire Fort?"
"We, the Black Swallow Legion, have teleportation gates in major cities around the world. I can help you open one!"
Marana suddenly suggested enthusiastically.
"Marana?"
Xiuyan was dumbfounded. Marana, who was always proud and aloof, showing such a side?
And she even used the honorific "you" for Zhang Chen?!
"As for my ancestors, I really don't know much, but there are many ancient texts in Warfire Fort, so it might be possible to find some information!"
Marana quickly added.
"Yes, thank you, Marana. Then... what about you? Xiuyan, you look very much like an old acquaintance of mine!"
Zhang Chen sized up Xiuyan and asked.
"I... I don't have any family. Ever since I can remember, I was taken in by the old commander of the Black Swallow Legion until now. Perhaps my parents all died in the war!"
Xiuyan replied truthfully.
"Xiuyan, does this name sound familiar?"
Zhang Chen suddenly asked.
"Xiu... Xiuyan?"
Upon hearing the name, Xiuyan's expression clearly faltered, but she quickly regained her composure and shook her head, saying:
"I haven't heard of it. I just feel that the name you mentioned is a bit similar to my own!"
Marana nodded from the side and said:
"That's right. I can confirm that I entered the Black Swallow Legion's preliminary selection when I was ten years old, and Xiuyan was already in the Black Swallow Legion then."
"So in a sense, I am indeed the only female to have passed the selection and joined this batch!"
When Marana said this, her face was full of pride, and she glanced at Zhang Chen, seeming to be seeking praise.
"Uh... impressive! Then let's go to Warfire Fort!"
Zhang Chen didn't know what else to say.
They were enemies just a few minutes ago, but after he showed them the future, such a huge change occurred?!
The turn of events caught Zhang Chen somewhat off guard.
Zhang Chen waved his hand, and a teleportation gate slowly opened.
The three kittens and Jessica were accustomed to such situations, but Xiuyan and Marana were seeing it for the first time, and their faces showed expressions of awe.
Controlling time and space, possessing formidable combat power.
Coupled with an exceptionally long lifespan of over 500 years?!
No wonder the True God Cult revered him as a god... Perhaps... gods truly exist, and it was just their limited vision and lack of experience.
Seeing this, Marana's eyes gleamed with fervor.
Beside her, Xiuyan's heart stirred, and it seemed as if she recalled something. She lowered her head and fell into deep thought...
