Chapter 102 Return to Jiluotu City

Abbot and Saraswati embarked on their journey back to Jirata City, both of them full of expectations for the future. Along the way, they talked quietly and discussed the gains from this adventure.

"I didn't expect that gem to contain such powerful power," Abbott exclaimed, "Not only did it help me advance to the second level of mentor, it also helped you break through to the mentor level."

Saraswati smiled and nodded, "Yes, this experience is really amazing. I can feel that the power in my body is much stronger than before."

As the two approached the city of Jiroto, they noticed that the atmosphere around them became tense. The city gate is heavily guarded, with several fully armed guards strictly checking everyone entering and leaving the city gate.

"Stop!" a guard shouted, "Tell me your name!"

"I'm Ebot, and this is Saraswati," Ebot replied calmly, "We are members of the Hand of Brahma, and we just returned from abroad."

When the guard heard the two names, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "It's you! The parliament is holding an emergency meeting. You'd better go there as soon as possible."

Entering the city, Ebot and Saraswati found that the atmosphere on the streets was more solemn than outside the city. They hurried to the council hall, where the top brass of the Hand of Brahma and representatives of various smaller magical families gathered.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn. The chief master of the Hand of Brahma was speaking: "According to our latest intelligence, the mysterious people threatening Jiluotu City this time are likely to be from the lost magic family - 'Shadow Wings'. They have the power from the 'Source of Chaos'. This is an ancient and dangerous power."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room. Abbott and Saraswati looked at each other and both felt the seriousness of the situation.

"Shadow Wing?" asked an elder of a magic family. "I thought they disappeared in the war thousands of years ago."

"Yes, but it seems that they have been lying dormant in secret, accumulating strength," the Chief Master explained, "Now they seem to want to rise again, and Jiluotu City is their first target."

At this time, Ebott stood up, "Everyone, Saraswati and I have just returned from the ancient temple and have made some important discoveries and power upgrades. Perhaps these can help us fight against the Shadow Wing."

Then, Ebott and Saraswati told everyone in detail about their experience in the ancient temple and the process of obtaining the gems through the underground ruins trial. They also mentioned the improvement in their own strength, with Ebert being promoted to the second level of mentor, and Saraswati breaking through to the mentor realm.

After listening to their stories, the members of parliament all showed envious expressions.

"This is indeed good news," said the Grand Master. "With these new powers, our chances of winning against Shadow Wing are much better. However, we still need to formulate a detailed plan."

"I suggest that we first find out the possible mole in the city," Saraswati suggested, "The Shadow Wings may have already planted spies in the city."

Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, a messenger hurried into the meeting room and said, "My lords, the support team sent by the Brahma Hand headquarters has arrived outside the city and requests to enter the city."

This news cheered up everyone.

"Excellent!" said the Chief Master. "With the extra support, we will be able to organize a more effective defense."

The Council quickly developed a preliminary action plan: strengthen the city's defenses, investigate possible traitors, research methods to fight the Source of Chaos, and prepare for a possible head-on conflict with Shadow Wing.

After the meeting, Abbott and Saraswati walked back to their residence, both feeling the weight of the burden on their shoulders.

"It seems we have returned just in time," Ebert whispered, "The threat posed by Shadow Wing is more serious than we thought."

Saraswati held Abbott's hand and gave him a resolute look. "I believe we can overcome this challenge. As long as we unite, nothing is impossible."

Abbot looked at Saraswati with gratitude, his heart filled with strength. He knew that no matter what challenges awaited them ahead, as long as she was by his side, he would have the confidence to face it all.

The two walked silently towards their residence, preparing to take a short rest before facing the arduous challenges that were about to come. The fate of the city of Jiroto and the responsibility of fighting against the Shadow Wings have fallen on their shoulders. And they are ready to take on this heavy responsibility.
