"Trust me, young man. You''ll find the answers you need, but you''re going to have to pay for your actions before that."


    Wilbur wanted to ask more, but Angelia refused and stopped talking. An assistant told Wilbur that the prophecy already revealed the ways of fate, and Angelia refusing to say anything further meant that the heavens did not allow her to do so.


    Wilbur could not help but find the answer rather funny. Nheless, everyone else seemed to respect it enough and he had no choice but to leave.


    Upon returning to the hotel, Wilbur thought about Angelia''s words. He had changed Caitlyn''s fate, but they would never see each other again.


    Wilbur found the whole encounter with Caitlyn rather unbelievable. There were so many strange factors about it, especially with Caitlyn choosing to go back to the Allied States.


    Wilbur''s master, the Aqua Dragon Orkot, once told him that every person''s fate was an aura that led them forward in life. When there was a change in this force in any way, the person''s personality and fate would also change.


    The thought of Orkot''s words made Wilbur feel like a puppet all of a sudden. If fate really did exist, that meant that everything in life was destined from the very start. That was definitely a terrifying thought.


    That afternoon, Wilbur made up his mind to head out from north of Wrecknam. He wandered around the desert outside, observing the sand on the ground.


    The next morning, Wilbur came to the north entrance and noticed that the sands fromst night hadpletely changed. What had been a dip in the ground was now a sandy hill, and vice versa. The marks Wilbur left around the area werepletely gone.


    He sighed at the sight. It would seem that marking a desert was rather difficult.


    Thus, Wilbur decided not to follow the original n. He returned to town and went to inspect the fivergest wells in Wrecknam.


    Four out of the five wells were located in the corners of the city''s walls, and thest one was right in the center of the city square.


    Wilbur inspected all the wells closely and saw that they all shared one thing inmon-holes on either side of the wells'' walls. This meant that the wells were probably interconnected underground, and not all the wells got their water from their own underground reservoir.


    Wilbur believed there could be an underground river connected to the wells beneath them. There was no way a mere five wells could support a desert town with a poption of over two hundred thousand people, as each well was just around six meters deep.


    After all, the Levon Desert was huge. It was impossible for water to be found at a depth of ten meters, especially not to this scale.


    It was nearly impossible for there to be an underground river under the desert with this much water, at least not naturally. Wilbur gave it some thought and deduced that there might be a huge formationid within the Levon Desert.


    That formation was what led the water from the underground river into the Levon Desert, which created Wrecknam.


    Wilbur did some research in the library and found that Wrecknam only began to be built five hundred years ago. Its infrastructure was nothing like the current time,


    and the city only had a poption of three thousand people back then.


    From researching historical records, Wilbur even learned of three mass deaths that had happened in the first fifty years of Wrecknam''s founding.


    All three cases had happened due to ack of water, and two of them nearly wiped out the entire city. This meant that there was definitely ack of water when Wrecknam was first built and that there was no huge underground river then.
