Chapter 3128 No Other Choice

The day passed, and things proceeded as normal in the Inquisition Forging Hall. Rean was even ready to get out of there in case there were any changes due to the events in Gratlur's office. Yet, nothing happened from there. Finally, the time was over for those trying to fix the Puppets, and Flafei came back to check. Looking at the scores, only two people made it through. One was a man in the Elemental Transformation Realm called Vlomaro. The other was obviously Rean, who made just barely enough to reach the required 800 points.

Flafei wasn't that impressed with Vlomaro. Considering the guy's cultivation, it was obvious he spent a very long time studying puppets before attempting to enter the Inquisition Forging Hall. That's what most of the candidates usually did. However, Flafei couldn't say the same about Rean.

"Oh! 813 points..." Flalei looked at Rean with a different expression this time. Considering Rean was only in the Soul Transformation Realm, reaching the necessary score was truly remarkable. "Filiato is your name, right? You weren't kidding when you said you had some skills in Puppetry. You barely got past 800 points, but you should be proud to have done it at your cultivation level. For someone so young to already be this good, you have a bright future."

Rean smiled in response. "Thank you, senior Flafei. I hope to learn a lot more in this place." At the same time, Rean didn't care much about it. He only had to get close enough to the core in the Puppetry Sub-Branch, and Sister Orb should be able to hack it as well. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Flafei sent the two who failed away and then upgraded Rean and Vlomaro's status in the Inquisition Forging Hall system. That way, they would have access to a lot of information, depending on whether they joined it permanently or temporarily.

Of course, Rean selected the temporary option. Flafei tried to change his mind, but Rean simply said that was his Master's order. He just threw all the blame on Popon. Without another choice, Flafei could only give him the Temporary status for the moment.

Once he came out, Rean went straight to the fourth floor. 'How is it, Sister Orb?'

[That's perfect. In fact, I probably didn't even need this one. You and the others had already got close enough to five cores, after all. In any case, this sixth one will guarantee that I can make this Inquisition Forging Hall fly through the skies.]

Rean nodded. He patiently waited on the fourth floor until Sister Orb finished her preparations, and only then he decided to... go to the Resources Sub-Branch! Let's not forget what was the first reason for Rean to come to this place. It was to acquire precious metals and ores to feed Kentucky.

Rean checked the time. "Should be any time now."

The volcano at the back of the city was even easier to see due to its size. It always had smoke coming from the top, so the people in the city were used to it. The volcano was an active one. However, that smoke suddenly began to increase several times, and it didn't stop.

Back in the Inquisition Forging Hall, a man quickly entered Gratlur's office. His expression was serious, and he seemed desperate. "Director! It is bad!"

Gratlur immediately grew angry. "What part of 'don't bother me' did you not understand?" He was even preparing to teach the guy a lesson. However...

*Rumble!*

The entire Inquisition Forging Hall suddenly trembled for a moment before settling down. That was only the start, though.

Gratlur got up, having never experienced such an event in this place before. "What happened?"

His subordinate quickly explained. "We lost control over all the cores that extract the geothermal energy from the volcano! Pressure is building nonstop, and we don't know what to do!"

"Impossible!" Sure enough, Gratlur didn't want to believe. Too bad he had no other choice but to do so.
