Chapter 433 Predicting The Future Technique

"Go and map out the traps around the building," William paused before adding, "don't try the building until you get every single trap mapped out, got it?"

"Sure, but… What do you think lay in there?" Thomas pointed towards the emptied part in the grand picture.

"I can't tell," William was already thinking about all this. In his eyes, the best thing that dude would leave behind wouldn't be a map, but words.

He'd leave a message, describing where he buried that statue and such. Thinking about this made William think back about the message Thomas spoke about before, the one that started all this in the first place.

"It's placed under that building," and when William asked, Thomas sighed, "I tried to see it, but couldn't! All I can read is the few words I told you about before."

"Even after clearing all this?!" William was surprised by this, and Thomas nodded. "We'll leave it for later then."

"But…" Thomas turned around, "you didn't unlock the traps in any building yet!"

William removed any trap all over the place but didn't touch a single trap in any building. He had a good reason not to do so. If things turned out for all the buildings to be connected together in some way, then it was best to wait until he'd map out everything.

He wanted to first see what that central building got. Would it be the statue? He didn't think so. Would it have a message? He leant more towards such an option. After all, that building hid the message that was directed to him.

"I'm going to leave them for later," William didn't say any of his reasons, "go and make sure to not draw anything about that building."

"Got it," Thomas realised something when he went to work this time. This scary place, the one everyone considered as cursed and deadly, was this close from getting purified off traps.

It was an unimaginable feat, not only to him, but to everyone living in this fort.

The spooky place was going to turn into a normal one, and that was something not even he could imagine its effects over the entire fort!

For example, what would his previous master feel? What would Alfonso feel? This place, the one he threw away as if it was garbage, was about to turn into the golden land in the entire fort.

It wasn't just huge, surrounded by impregnable arrays, its location was what made most of its value. Thomas was sure if William desired, then selling this place for tens of billions of spirit crystals wasn't going to be an exaggeration.

Pumped up by being this close from completing this task and clearing the entire place, Thomas started to work double more than before without even realising it.

As for William, he kept waiting in anticipation until the remaining scrolls of the land would be delivered. With each scroll getting done, William wasn't patient anymore and started to deactivate the traps right away.

By now, and after all these days, people out there already placed their bids. The ones who kept hesitating about which side to choose ended up regretting their hesitation.

Remy wasn't stupid. She knew after four days; everyone would already be able to guess what the result would be. So, by the end of the fourth day, she stopped placing any bid, announcing the closure of placing any bids in this event.

The ones who thought they were smart ended up lamenting their hesitation and weak will. And the ones who already placed their wealth against William ended up regretting it as well.

It was now clear that William was going to do the impossible, do the thing that many spirit masters, much stronger spirit masters, failed to do along the course of centuries.

The ones who were over the roof were the ones who placed their bids over William's success. They were now celebrating, cheering, and even dancing! And soon enough, a game of calculating how much wealth each one of them would get started, bringing many envious eyes towards those lucky few.

Many went to ask Remy about the total amount of wealth involved in this event. But the latter refrained from revealing anything. She feared if she just shared the scary figure, all of the spirit masters here would come for their blood.

They could fend off against many, but not against such a crazy gathering of people. And so, no matter who came asking, she kept her lips tightly shut.

"I believe the big show is about to begin!"

At the Lockheart impact high up people, the leader suddenly said while his eyes shining in purple light.

"What show? I bet it's almost close to clear that damn place for this kid," Ben sighed, inwardly cursing his bad luck to invite his leader and other elders in the impact to witness this show. If he didn't do it, he'd have ended up with tons of wealth.

"I don't mean him," the leader's eyes paused over a group of spirit masters who were slowly walking their path towards the front, "it's them."

"Who?" the others felt weird about that. But it was expected. After all, this leader had a unique spirit element, one that made him quite special in the eyes of the entire impact's higher ups, either here or in the rest of the world.

He got the time element! A very rare and special element indeed. And on top of that, he once found an ancient technique regarding his element when he was venturing in the world.

He stumbled upon an ancient site, one that got lots of riches and techniques. It wasn't rare for anyone to find such ruins, but for him this discovery changed his life.

The time technique he found there was like a prediction type divination technique. He could think about anything, or anyone, and then he'd be able to divinate the answers to questions regarding them.

He just spotted this group of people, moving in a large group of a few hundreds, moving like they belonged to a big team or something.
