Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 262 All of this was instructed by Rean!

"The creator of Eldaria, Emperor Reantandin, is actually still alive, and all my knowledge was imparted to me by him!"

Wendy said with certainty,
Caesar looked at her expressionlessly, then said, "Anything else?"

“Anything else? Well, don’t be scared when I tell you,” Wendy cleared her throat and said with a serious expression, “Actually, I am now the Grand Chancellor personally appointed by the Holy Yuan Emperor! I am his right-hand man, and everything I do is on his orders!”

Wendy tilted her chin up, looking at Caesar with an air of pride.

Caesar stared at her for a long time, realizing that what the people had said before was indeed true; this woman was truly a madwoman.

He shook his head and chuckled.

"See! See! I told you you wouldn't believe me! You probably think I'm crazy now too!" Wendy shouted.

"Do you think I'm a fool to believe that?" Caesar retorted angrily.

He pulled a book from below and slammed it onto the table.

This was the first book he received from the world, Wendy Carroll's "Civilization Emerging from Savagery and Night".

"If you really received instruction from the Holy Emperor, could you have written something like this?" he questioned sharply.

"What, what's wrong with this? This is exactly what Emperor Shengyuan instructed me to write back then, and he personally guided me." Wendy looked completely innocent.

Caesar's lips twitched, and he pointed to the book, saying, "Were all those statements about him in there written at his request?"

“Of course! He instructed me to write it all! It’s an absolutely true evaluation that he himself approves of!” Wendy exclaimed.

"I'll go to your uncle's place."

Caesar twisted the turntable hard, and Wendy immediately let out another howl of pain.

This ordeal lasted an exceptionally long time before he finally stopped.

Wendy, head bowed and violet hair disheveled, took a long time to recover before weakly saying:

"Whether I talk or not, I'll still be tortured. What do you want?"

“If you keep spouting nonsense to me, things won’t be that simple.” Caesar placed his hand on the briefcase containing the torture instruments.

Wendy shrank her neck slightly: "But, but what I said is true."

Caesar looked at Wendy with a complicated expression. He was starting to wonder if this guy had some kind of delusions and was living in his own fantasy.

That's quite possible. Because Nightwalker sorcerers possess abilities in the mental realm, most of them are eccentric and have mental problems, and Wendy's words and actions just now certainly implied that.

Could it be that I went through all this trouble only to end up placing all my hopes on a lunatic? If that's the case, then maybe all the ruin maps are fake, just figments of Wendy's imagination.

He began to doubt himself, feeling that all the effort he had put in had been wasted.

No, I should at least try to find out more about her background. What if there really is some unexpected truth behind this?

“Then tell me, what evidence do you have that you’ve seen Reantandin?” Caesar said. But Wendy shook her head: “No, no, you’re still just an ordinary person, while the Holy Emperor has transcended reality. You’ll die if you see him.”

"So how did you get to see him now?" Caesar asked.

Wendy chuckled. "That's my secret, but it doesn't matter if I tell you now. The Holy Emperor left me a mark. If I want to see him, I just need to trigger the mark, and I can be pulled into his supreme kingdom, which is not a place that just anyone can enter."

Caesar remained silent. What she had just said was exactly how he recruited people into the Formless Heavenly Realm. Could this be just a coincidence she had made up her mind?

"What knowledge did the Holy Emperor impart to you?" Caesar asked again.

"These are some ancient spells, but even though I have demon blood, my aptitude for magic is too low, and I haven't learned them all yet," Wendy said, shaking her head.

"There are also some secrets of the empire back then. For example, he wanted to achieve godhood for a higher pursuit, but he failed in the end and his body was destroyed. However, he did not die. Instead, his body and soul were reshaped by the Fata at that time, and he has been existing in the spiritual world ever since. Later, his soul was slowly reshaped and he was able to have the power to penetrate reality!" Wendy said.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Caesar suddenly reveal a terrifying expression.

She thought the other person thought she was lying, so she quickly exclaimed, "I know this sounds absurd, but everything I said is true! Emperor Shengyuan told me himself! I'm absolutely not deceiving you!"

But Caesar wasn't thinking about whether Wendy was telling the truth anymore.

What she just said basically matches the situation back then, but this is information that most people wouldn't have access to.

No, there's no way anyone in this world could possibly know!

At the time, besides Sothos and Greta, only a few elders from Fata who were in charge of the matter knew that he had perished while trying to ascend to godhood and had ultimately entered the Cocoon of Origin.

But all of these people perished in the palace with him. Not a single one from the time of Rean II survived; they all died in the Shattered Moon Incident.

Unless he revealed it himself, he really didn't know where Wendy got this information from.

Could it be that Sothos, who still retains a trace of spirituality, or Greta, who has transcended common sense, told her that?

Or perhaps the "Emperor Shengyuan" that Wendy knew was also a real person?
Impossible! The real me is right here. Even an imposter couldn't possibly know me this well!
He now realized that Wendy might be telling the truth. She really had encountered someone who claimed to be the Holy Yuan Emperor. Whether it was true or not, in her mind, it was true, and they had been communicating for so many years. However, this Holy Yuan Emperor probably didn't control her strictly, otherwise, she would have been eliminated by him long ago for being so flamboyant and revealing information without reservation.

What surprised him was that Wendy's words were extremely accurate, from the way she received him to the secrets of the empire back then. Even if they weren't entirely accurate, they were pretty close to the truth. He absolutely did not believe that there was no one supporting her behind the scenes.

His expression gradually turned serious, which meant that a tremendous danger was lurking in the shadows, targeting him.
Even if it wasn't dangerous, it definitely had a huge impact on him.

Seeing Wendy still timid and struggling to figure out how to explain things in a way that would make him believe her, Caesar had an idea.

The first priority is to absolutely prevent this girl from running away again. Even if others think she's crazy, her crazy talk is true to Caesar, and she must be kept under control.

Secondly, we need to find out who the "Holy Yuan Emperor" is behind her!
Caesar slowly walked out of the basement, and Ita followed to greet him.

“Caesar, what she said…” Ita’s face was also very ugly. The information Wendy had revealed had made her forget about dealing with her for spreading rumors about the family.

“I will inform His Majesty. In addition, we should also go to her residence to get the map of the ruins and verify its authenticity.”
