Paredes' words and Noland Lee's speculations matched perfectly, just as Noland had said.
With this mental preparation, Noland felt relatively calm and composed. The other listeners around him, however, were not as composed. Including Denise Green and other wizards, they all showed surprise, anger, and a touch of fear.
Especially the only living eight-circle metal wizard present. This wizard, like Berkeley, also came from the Hotams Metal Branch and was sent to persuade him.
With Berkeley's death, his persuasion work failed, and now he was inevitably in a low mood.
As soon as they heard Paredes' words, everyone immediately turned their eyes to this metal wizard, while the metal wizard himself was startled, his thoughts churning and a large number of metal spikes emerging from his face mask.
