City Lord Wenzhou bowed his head slightly. "That is what fate has laid before you."
Victor let out a slow breath. "Then I suppose I better start preparing."
[ Quest Accepted ]
The moment the quest had been accepted, a system timer appeared in the corner of his vision, counting down in seconds. One year. Three hundred and sixty-five days to prevent the fall of Blueflame City and stop the seal from breaking.
It felt like a ticking bomb attached to his soul.
But Victor wasn't one to feel pressured.
"A year's too long," he muttered under his breath. "If I can just learn how to reinforce the seal, I can wrap this up before that timer even gets halfway."
He had barely said this when City Lord Xuan Wenzhou, who stood a few steps ahead let out a faint chuckle. "You're ambitious. But don't underestimate the ancient grove, Fang Chen. The power that lingers there isn't something your current strength can withstand."
