The Alchemy King remained silent, and the entire Great Hall was shrouded in silence.
It seemed as if everyone could sense a tinge of danger in the air.
This kind of dilemma, where retreat and advancement were equally fraught, was not a favorable situation for them.
"I might have an idea." Just as everyone was feeling stumped, a nearby guard suddenly spoke up.
"What could a mere guard possibly know? Is this even your place to speak?" an elder immediately shouted angrily.
The guard's body tensed, and he dared not utter another word.
At this moment, the Alchemy King waved his hand and said, "Let him speak. Perhaps he truly has a good suggestion."
The elder wanted to say something else but was silenced by the Alchemy King's gesture.
Subsequently, the Alchemy King looked at the guard, signaling him to continue.
