The cloaked figure didn’t deny the historical facts, but rather argued, “Times have changed. The demise of the old dynasty and the subsequent establishment of the Federal Government have made significant contributions to the continuity of civilization. Unfortunately, greed and pleasure are innate human weaknesses. In just two hundred years, the descendants of those who were pioneers of the Councillor Family and had pledged their loyalty, have become complacent politicians lounging in the Rich Ore Layer. They have lost the spirit of adventure, no different from the royal nobles of the past. Hoarding resources without acting like pioneers, they’ve turned into bloated, greedy monsters... Judging by the current situation, the Federal Parliament’s debate is still ongoing, but most likely, due to the unfair distribution of benefits, they might seal off the Old Continent.”

Master Merlin had long considered this.

Beyond other matters, the Old Continent conceals too much high-tier extraordinary knowledge, which not only has significant effects on his own research but also on the entire Card Master Civilization.

However, such a revelation that could change social classes would be much welcomed by those at the bottom.

But not necessarily by those at the top.

If the Noble Class isn’t sure they can benefit from the Old Continent and live better than their current lives, they would rather seal the Old Continent and absolutely resist taking risks to disrupt existing power distributions.

As a researcher, how could Merlin bear to see the door to truth opened only to be shut again due to certain people’s selfish desires?

The reason Master Merlin was exiled and expunged from the Card Master Association was because of his unconventional viewpoints.

This rationale was enough to move him.

The cloaked figure continued, “Once the five major councilors fail to reach an agreement, they will inevitably choose to temporarily, or permanently, close down the Gold-digging Dock. The King’s Key is vital. Even the Lionheart Family, the most powerful of those currently based in Sinless City, would not be able to resist the pressure of all the elite classes. Hence, this extremely significant bargaining chip must be given to the remnants of the old era in the augustus, those who are working towards restoration. Their only hope lies in the Old Continent. Therefore, they will definitely not close down the Gold- digging Dock, and they have the ability to protect it.”

Master Merlin: “So, you’re also confident of obtaining the other keys to the kingdom?”

The cloaked figure: “Indeed, one from the Flood Gang, one from the Brotherhood, one from the Golden Oak Security Company, and the one in your hand.”

Master Merlin, upon hearing these words, seemed thoughtful and said insightfully, “The restoration of the Orlan Dynasty may not necessarily be a good thing. Furthermore, the ancient gods of yesteryears...”

But this script was clearly pre-written.

Then, a wave of mysterious law put into motion the events at this meeting, exactly as outlined in the script.

Reading the content of the script, Master Merlin was shocked, realizing that the test had come to an end.

Although this spell posed no fatal threat to him,

To have accomplished this degree, one must indeed have reached the Legendary Realm.

Looking at the script, his eyes were filled with satisfaction, “Interesting... The Fifty-two Demon God Forbidden Techniques ‘I am the world’, it really lives up to its reputation. What’s more impressive is that your comprehension of the world has reached such a degree. Even I didn’t sense it. The younger generation can indeed be terrifying.”

When the cloaked figure heard this, he was initially composed,

As he had passed the test, that was one thing less to worry about.

But after giving it some thought, his brows furrowed.

Because he noticed an incomprehensible change in his ‘world’.

It was something...beyond his logical understanding.

Seeing this, Master Merlin chuckled, “Your strength surpasses even your teacher’s.”

Hearing this, the cloaked figure snapped to his senses.

He had never mentioned that the former ‘Light Chaser’ was his teacher!

The script seemed to contain a huge logical loophole. It seemed like the ending should have been deducible from the beginning, but everything ended up in shambles.

The complexion of the cloaked figure drastically changed, as if a torrential flood had poured into his mind, causing turbulent waves.
