Grand Elder

After the Second Elder and Third Elder finished talking, the Third Elder excused himself and left the Great Hall of the Council of Elders. The Second Elder sat quietly in his seat, contemplating the whereabouts of the Grand Elder. In reality, he didn't know what the Grand Elder had done when he left the city, which made him a little uneasy. The Grand Elder was an important figure in the Council of Elders, and his disappearance not only made the Second Elder uneasy, but also worried the others.

The Second Elder took a deep breath and decided to stop being nervous. He reached out to immediately probe the identity of the woman from the otherworld at that moment, and had people search for the Grand Elder's trail. Both of these matters were very important, and he could not just sit back and do nothing.

The men acted quickly under the Second Elder's instructions as they began to search the city for traces of the Grand Elder while also secretly investigating the mysterious woman. The Second Elder sat in the center of the Great Hall, quietly waiting for the news to come inside.

The environment inside the Great Hall of the Council of Elders was dark and solemn, and the walls were filled with portraits of previous generations of Elders, making people feel surprised and solemn. The elders' seat in the center of the hall was empty, which also made people somewhat surprised and worried.

Time slowly passed, and the results of the investigation were slowly known. The people under his command told the Second Elder that they had found some clues in the city and might be able to find the whereabouts of the Great Elder. At the same time, they were also secretly investigating that mysterious woman, but did not find any useful information.

The Second Elder took a deep breath, he knew that these two matters could not be solved in a moment. He decided to put these troubles aside for now and focus on the matter at hand. He began to think again, if the First Elder had really disappeared, what would the Elder Council do? Do they maintain the stability of the Photon Empire?

While searching for traces of the Grand Elder, the Second Elder also sent a few of his men forward to investigate into the identity of Spirit Cloth. They infiltrated the tavern where Spirit Cloth was staying and tried to inquire about her nearby identity and where she came from. However, they didn't get much useful information, and only heard rumors and hearsay, such as that Spirit Cloth was from the Otherworld and had extraordinary powers and skills, as well as news that she was looking around the city for someone.

The Second Elder wasn't satisfied with this result, he felt that his men hadn't done a thorough enough job of investigating, so he ordered to continue to intensify the investigation. At the same time, he began to think about how he could better utilize this woman from the Otherworld to serve the interests of the Photon Empire.

Inside the grand hall, the Third Elder returned to his office and began to study some recent information. All of this information was about the Otherworld and Spirit Clothes, and he tried to initially find some useful clues, but there were no significant findings as of yet. As he pondered, he suddenly heard the footsteps of a third person, and he jerked around to find someone he was familiar with, and that person was none other than the Grand Elder.

"Great Elder, you're back. Where have you been? We've been worried about your safety." The Third Elder asked with concern.

"I went to the arbitration tribunal, there were some matters that needed to be dealt with." The First Elder replied.

"What happened at the arbitration tribunal?" The Third Elder asked.

"Nothing happened, it was just some minor issues that I have resolved." The Grand Elder said.

"In that case, will you take a break then?" The Third Elder asked with needy concern.

"No need, I still have some things to take care of." The Grand Elder said and left the office straight away.

The Third Elder felt a little strange, he felt that the Great Elder's behavior was a little unusual, but he also knew that he wasn't very clear about the Great Elder's plans and thoughts, so he could only give up on this issue for the time being and continue to study the information in his hands.

While the Second Elder's entourage was searching for traces of the Great Elder, the Third Elder was in his secret room pondering over the Great Elder's sudden departure. He knew that this outing wasn't simple, and that the Grand Elder must have decided to have an important mission. Searching for the Grand Elder, but before he left, he also instructed his hand to continue investigating the woman from the other world and the reason for the Grand Elder's departure.
