I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Faced with such a pointed question, Anno simply smiled and said, "I do indeed possess Pandora!"

"!!!"

Christie's eyes narrowed, and she was about to speak when Anno continued, "However, it was taken by the First Demon General a long time ago. I believe you already knew this information!"

Seeing that Christie still looked suspicious, Anno continued to explain, "I know you doubt me because summoners can resummon killed enemies."

"And the number of summoned creatures I used in this war exceeded your expectations."

Christie didn't speak, but her slight nod showed that this was what she thought.

As for the forest elf beside her, she wore a mask so her expression couldn't be seen, and her body didn't move much. Anno didn't know what she was thinking.

Moreover, perhaps because of the mask, Anno's [Observer] cannot see the other party's information.

"Your assumptions about my strength stem from your understanding of me. But to be honest, how many of you truly understand me?"

Among you, who knows my true strength and methods?

How do you know that my power comes entirely from Pandora?

Hearing Anno's confident retort, Christie frowned.

She didn't have much contact with Anno; this was only their second meeting.

Last time I was with Anuo in Zijinlan City, the latter's strength was only at the eighth level.

Now Anno has even accomplished things that she herself found difficult.

Two hundred thousand otherworldly soldiers are not something that can be wiped out so easily.

"You mean, your current strength isn't connected to Pandora?"

The moment the forest spirit spoke, it attracted everyone's attention.

"Excuse me, I don't think I've introduced myself yet!"

The forest elf said somewhat apologetically, "My name is Winnie Esther. You can just call me Winnie!"

The ethereal voice was like a lark in a quiet forest, or a clear spring splashing on pebbles.

This was the first time Winnie, the forest spirit, had spoken.

Anno knew from her figure that this forest elf was a female elf.

Judging from the voice, Winnie's body should be very young—Anno wasn't sure of her age, after all, elves have a much longer lifespan than humans.

"Hmph! Don't treat others like fools. I've heard about Pandora's abilities too."

Christie scoffed, "Without Pandora, where would you get so many high-level summons?"

The representatives of the dwarf kingdom exchanged glances upon hearing this.

They didn't know much about Pandora, only that it was a key to a treasure—Anno had learned this information with the help of an old dwarf woman in Iron Keep.

However, with the Sword Saint pressing Anno relentlessly, they, as allies who had just deepened their cooperation with Anno, naturally had to stand on Anno's side.

"Sword Saint, I think it's quite normal for Guild Master Anno to have so many high-level summons."

The representative of the Dwarven Kingdom, Owen, the former lord of Sagunto and an old friend of Anno, spoke up: "It's just that there are some things that the Sword Saint is unaware of regarding the resources behind Guild Master Anno."

Although Owen was not the strongest member of the delegation, he was chosen as the delegation leader because he had more contact with Anno and was more composed.

What he just said was actually that Anno had mastered the technology of dimensional teleportation arrays.

The dwarven kingdom's pioneering team is currently still in the underworld, relying on the dimensional teleportation array in Anno's possession.

Since Anno possesses dimensional teleportation technology, it is very likely that he also has connections with other dimensions.

Given Anno's strength, it was perfectly reasonable for him to hunt down high-level beings in other planes and expand his massive summoning army.

There is absolutely no need to rely on Pandora, whose functions are unknown.

"What do you mean?"

The Sword Saint turned to look at Ornn, his face full of confusion.

She had no idea that Anno possessed a dimensional teleportation array.

However, Winnie had already realized what was happening and said to Anno, "So President Anno really has mastered that technology and established a cooperative relationship with the Dwarf Kingdom!"

"what?"

This time, it was Anno, Orn, and the Sword Saint's turn to be puzzled at the same time.

Anno and Owen had the same question.

Although Owen helped Anno out of a tight spot, he didn't reveal any crucial information. However, Winnie seemed to already know about their dimensional teleportation array.

The two exchanged a glance, and Owen shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he had not leaked such top-secret information.

Anno pondered for a moment and thought that it might have been the Hunter of Gods, Bray, who told the other party.

According to David, the Forest Spirits were most likely invited by Bray to help Anno.

It's understandable that Bray, who has a good relationship with the elves, would inform Winnie about the dimensional teleportation array.

Christie, who was in the hall, saw the group exchanging glances and speaking in riddles, and her mood instantly soured.

Why does she feel like she's the only one who's superfluous?

This support for the Kingdom of Nigar is not only a matter of mutual assistance between allied nations, but also a means of protecting ourselves.

Gathering the strength of allied nations to demonstrate power to the interdimensional alliance is also a form of deterrence.

Let the other side know that the alliance will support each other, so that they will not dare to attack any country at will.

Besides, this was, after all, a request for help from the Kingdom of Nigal, and the Sword Saint was coming to provide assistance in exchange for something in return.

The emperor of the Roland Empire ordered Christie to obtain the intercity teleportation array technology of the Kingdom of Nigard as much as possible.

That's why Christie immediately questioned Anno in a condescending manner, wanting to seize the initiative.

But now, the imbalance of information has put her in a passive position.

Anor, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Elf Forest seem to hold other secrets as well.

"Lord Christie, this is actually Pandora, the one who lured the otherworldly army here!"

Anno gave Liz a wink, and the latter immediately took out a Rubik's Cube from the pouch at her waist.

The moment Christy and Winnie saw the Rubik's Cube, they immediately stood up.

After watching for a while, Winnie said with some doubt, "This...this isn't right, is it?"

Christie only knew information about Pandora, but had never met her.

Upon hearing Winnie's question, she quickly replied, "Hexahedron, nine-square grid, magic runes! What's wrong with this?"

Winnie didn't explain; she just shook her head and sat down again.

Liz then crushed the 'Pandora' in her hand with a single forceful movement!

Physically crushed!

Then Liz took out another identical Pandora from the package and smiled at Christie with narrowed eyes: "My master guessed that the otherworldly people probably had never seen Pandora before, so he made a fake one to lure them in."

This is not difficult for someone who once owned Pandora.

Just as the Sword Saint couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake, those otherworldly beings, after seeing the fake 'Pandora' with their own eyes, mistook it for the real one and thus walked into their master's trap.

A flash of anger crossed Christie's face, but she quickly regained her composure and became thoughtful.

Anno thought Christie was acting very strangely.

From their previous interactions, he felt that although Christie was arrogant, she still possessed the air of a person in a high position.

Given the current situation, and considering her personality, she should prioritize the bigger picture and not cause trouble unnecessarily.

Discussing how to deal with the enemy is what she would do.

But now it seems like they're deliberately picking a fight.

The other elven ally remains a mystery to Anno as well.

"Sigh, these allies aren't exactly easy to deal with either!"

Anno sighed inwardly.

The dwarf who was closest to him was the least troublesome.

However, he still needs to rely on these allies, so he still has to maintain appearances.

"Sword Saint, do you have any further questions? The otherworldly army and the Demon King's army are eyeing us covetously outside. Shouldn't we discuss how to deal with them first?"
