Libra spoke, turning to Leo: "None of the three shards you synthesized should be ’one’ and ’nine’, should they?"
Leo almost broke into tears: "Don’t even mention ’one’ and ’nine’. we even don’t have ’five’. So we just joined three useless fragments together, didn’t we ..."
"Ahem, sympathies..." Everyone expressed sympathy for Leo’s predicament.
Mu You rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
Libra’s information was still very important, out of the nine shards, only ’one’, ’five’, and ’nine’ were the effective ones.
And now in his hands, he held the fragment of Dawn City marked with ’two’ and ’five’. That meant the last piece has to be either ’one’ or ’nine’, which greatly increased the difficulty of collection.
Libra had finished sharing her intel, now it’s Virgo’s turn.
Virgo made a series of hand signs, which were then translated by Libra.
"What Virgo described seems to be a prophecy: The Fool’s City will awaken at dawn, and close at the night of no daylight."
"Awakening at dawn, ending at the night with no light?"
Everyone was quiet after hearing this.
This prophecy was cryptic and a little hard to understand.
"Does ’dawn’ refer to Dawn City and ’night of no light’ refer to the City of Eternal Night? Does it mean the order of emergence of the sky cities starts from Dawn City and ends with the City of Eternal Night?" Libra analyzed.
"But we already knew that..." remarked Aquarius weakly. The task of finding the Sky Cities clearly specified the sequence of opening the twelve Sky Cities, starting from Dawn City to the City of Eternal Night.
"Or perhaps, ’dawn’ and ’night of no light’ should be interpreted literally..." Sagittarius pondered, "Could it mean that the first city, Dawn City, has to rise at dawn and the last city, the City of Eternal Night must rise in the dark night without starlight or moonlight?"
Mu You didn’t speak, he was thinking the same as Sagittarius.
The twelve Sky Cities, perhaps not only the sequence of opening was restricted, but the time of emergence was also strictly limited.
Meaning, the Legacy Crystal of each city could probably only be touched within a specific time range...
Everyone pondered on this prophecy but no definite results were obtained.
Time was limited, so Mu You had to announce the next one.
Next was Sagittarius’s turn.
Sagittarius glanced at Mu You, somewhat hesitant: "I need to confirm something about my intel... This is actually a question the President of Ice Emperor asked me to ask Aries."
"Oh? What’s the question?" Mu You looked at Sagittarius.
"Which city does the fragment you obtained belong to?" Sagittarius said before quickly adding: "Oh, you don’t need to tell me the specific city. Just tell me if it’s from Sunset City or Dusk City.."
Mu You understood what she wanted to say, and he shook his head: "No, it’s not."
Sagittarius sighed in relief, then turned to the others: "The Ice Emperor has a fragment of Sunset City, and recently acquired one from Dusk City. Our president’s intention is to strive for one of the two cities, Sunset and Dusk. The other would be Dragon Group’s target. In short, both parties will try their best to cooperate, with the aim of acquiring both cities at the smallest cost."
"However, the premise of all this is that these two cities do not conflict with the Ghost Captain’s target. If there is a conflict, both parties will discuss separately and change their targets."
The others nodded in understanding after hearing what she said.
Sunset City and Dusk City were located in the Lan Ai’er Empire corresponding to the Celestial Dynasty. They have the most manpower around these two cities, and it is difficult for other countries’ forces to infiltrate, making it the easiest to capture.
As for the Ghost Captain...not to mention his contributions and reputation in tower pushing, more importantly, two legendary figures like him, even the Dragon Group and Ice Emperor would have no confidence to compete against.
So if their targets do collide, both parties would decisively change their targets, and in doing so, favour the Ghost Captain by not disputing his target.
With Sagittarius’s intel addressed, only Aquarius remained.
Much to Mu You’s surprise, the information that Aquarius revealed was what he needed most at the moment.
Aquarius organized her words, then began to speak: "My information, obtained through my skin ability ’Windtalker’, is just some idle chatter drifting with the wind, its truthfulness cannot be guaranteed... It is said that there is an organization called ’Divine Right of Kings’ in Europe. Their President ’Son of Heaven’ has already assembled three fragments of the City of Dawn and is secretly gathering manpower to rush to Dawn City’s location..."
