Chapter 3063
The First Heir
âDo you know that your appearance in Cochly Mountain has attracted the attention of many people?â
Marquis Fulmore asked.
Philip frowned and said, âI knowâ¦â
Marquis Fulmore sighed and said, âI know what youâre thinking. Your recklessness will ruin the overall
plan. Cochly Mountain is not as simple as you think. The forces here are many and complicated, and
everyone serves their master loyally. If you act impulsively, youâll most likely offend some people behind
them. When the time comes, I canât stop them if they want to do anything to you.â
Philip frowned and said, âEven a powerful half-step to the other shore like you are afraid of those
people in the dark?â
Marquis Fulmore turned around, glanced at Philip with a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes,
and said, âTo many people, a half-step to the other shore can practically rule over a country single-
handedly. But in Cochly Mountain, strength doesnât mean everythingâ¦â
âThe scheming and chess game behind this, as well as the intricate forces, are the factors that limit us.
Although weâre a half-step to the other shore, in many cases, we have to consider the situation and the
consequences before we take action.â
As Philip listened, his expression darkened. He suddenly asked, âMarquis Fulmore, are you here at this
late hour just to tell me not to act alone in Cochly Mountain?â
Marquis Fulmore smiled and said, âIâve said my piece. What you choose to do is up to you. Also, Iâve
heard some rumors about Wynn Johnston. Not long ago, the Lovelace family did arrange for a group of
people to enter Cochly Mountain, but we donât know where they are now. They may have sneaked into
the main city or are stationed outside Cochly Mountain. As for whether Wynn is among these people, I
donât know.â
Hearing this, Philip scowled and said, âAre you sure that the Lovelace family has entered Cochly
Mountain?â
Marquis Fulmore nodded and said, âYes. Their arrival is related to you, so I donât want you to act
recklessly because once anything unnecessary happens, I canât take care of youâ¦â
âIn addition, about Reynold, I can tell you with certainty that the force behind him is not the Lovelace
family but Heavenly Court.â
âHeavenly Court?!â Philipâs eyes were stern. He had overlooked this existence!
âHas the forces of Heavenly Court penetrated Cochly Mountain too?â Philip asked, somewhat
surprised.
Marquis Fulmore sighed, put his hands behind his back, and said, âThe history of Heavenly Court may
be on par with Cochly Mountain. Their forces have even penetrated the royal palace before, so itâs no
surprise if you can find them in Cochly Mountain.â
At this point, Marquis Fulmore turned to Philip and said, âYou have to remember that in here, there are
no friends and no enemies, only interests. Everyone exists for benefits, be it for themselves or the
master they serve. You have to watch your every stepâ¦â
Philip nodded and said, âI just want to find Wynnâs whereabouts and clues.â
âWhy did you go to the stargate, then?â Marquis Fillmore asked.
Philip said, âI want to know more about the stargate and to unravel the chess game that always seems
to surround me.â
Marquis Fulmore nodded and said with a smile, âThe time isnât ripe yet. When it is time, you can see
the stargate.â
âWhen?â Philip asked.
Marquis Fulmore looked up at the sky and said, âOne month later, the time will come. During this time, I
want you to be fully prepared.â
âOne month later?â Philip was puzzled.
Marquis Fulmore explained, âThe Imperial Preceptor has just issued a notice. One month later, 70
talents in the country will gather. The stargate will be forced open and weâll send them to the other
shore for trainingâ¦â
Boom!
This remark exploded in Philipâs mind.
They wanted to select candidates and send them to the other shore for training?
âWhy?â Philip asked.
Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, âI donât know either. According to the previous plan, the
talent selection should be carried out one year later, but it has been brought forward one year earlier,
and everything is done in a hurry tooâ¦â
âI canât help feeling that a big change is happening, and only the Imperial Preceptor, your father, and
those few supreme powerhouses know about this change.â
