The First Heir

“Do you know that your appearance in Cochly Mountain has attracted the attention of many people?” Marquis Fulmore asked.

Philip frowned and said, “I know…”

Marquis Fulmore sighed and said, “I know what you‘re 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, you’ll most likely offend some people behind them. When the time comes, I can’t stop them if they want to do anything to you.”

Philip frowned and said, “Even a powerful half-step to the other shore like you are afraid of those people in the dark?”

Marquis Fulmore turned around, glanced at Philip with a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes, and said, “To many people, a half-step to the other shore can practically rule over a country single-handedly. But in Cochly Mountain, strength doesn’t mean everything…”

“The scheming and chess game behind this, as well as the intricate forces, are the factors that limit us. Although we’re a half-step to the other shore, in many cases, we have to consider the situation and the consequences before we take action.”

As Philip listened, his expression darkened. He suddenly asked, “Marquis Fulmore, are you here at this late hour just to tell me not to act alone in Cochly Mountain?”

Marquis Fulmore smiled and said, “I’ve said my piece. What you choose to do is up to you. Also, I’ve 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 don’t 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 don’t know.”
