After a long pause, Zorn slowly began to speak.
"Duke Mu Huo and the others must have a way to access Split Mist Town."
"Trying to stop the enemy by closing off the Ancient Ruins of Split Mist Town is pointless."
"Second, I'm out in the open while the enemy is in the shadows. If they launch a surprise attack, our forces defending outside will suffer catastrophic losses."
"So, defending from the outside is also pointless."
He paused, then looked at Madam Mable and asked.
"Madam Mable, for the Ancient Ruins' layer-locking ritual, how many layers have we mastered so far?"
"We've fully explored the first through seventh layers,"
Madam Mable said crisply.
Upon hearing this, Zorn raised an eyebrow, a flicker of pleasure on his face.
"Since they're all explored, that's excellent."
Normally, the rift-opening ritual allows direct entry into any of the currently unlocked World Layers.
You can choose freely from any of the 49 World Layers.
