Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

In Pathfinders Guild, Kyle held a letter in his hand as he approached Everett.

"Sage Everett, Rafael wrote to me and asked me to go to the capital. He said he needs my help."

Everett sat in meditation with his eyes closed and didn't respond. He had been angry for quite some time, and his temper showed no signs of cooling. He didn't want to deal with anyone, and wasn't letting anyone leave the mountain.

As a result, those who typically ventured out were now stuck here, while those who had gone out and hadn't returned didn't dare to come back. Winona was an example.

Before Everett left for the Southern Frontier, he had strictly ordered that no one was to construct residences in the northern part of the mountain. He had plans for that land. He wanted to build a five-story Starcatcher Tower. It would allow them to reach for the moon and practice martial arts, which would be very helpful for training their Lightfoot Skill.

More importantly, he had other reasons for wanting it.

Everett had intended to begin construction in the spring of next year. But upon returning, he found that they had already jumped the gun and started building residences in the northern part of the mountain.

The northern part of the mountain had a high elevation, and there was a waterfall across it. In other words, they wanted to build residences there so they could enjoy the beautiful scenery.

It was infuriating how little ambition they had, and how they prioritized enjoyment over practicality.

Did they expect him not to be angry? How could he not be angry by that?

And Adrian, his unreliable fellow apprentice, had publicly announced that he was in isolation training and wouldn't be coming out.

Fine. Adrian could hide away all he wanted. Everett held grudges, and he remembered things for a lifetime. This matter wasn't over.
