\"But we must agree, I will take the bodies with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I won’t forcibly take them from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod helplessly assured again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Blom turned around and had the guards bring over the nine captives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Rod drew the dagger from his waist and slit the throats of the lizardmen one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The progress of the [Pseudo-Dragon Slayer] entry reached twenty-three, with seventy-seven more to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you can collect the bodies now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod wiped the blood off the dagger and sheathed it back at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Blom gestured, and the guards quickly carried the bodies away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Blom curiously eyed Rod’s dagger,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your dagger looks quite ordinary, but it’s surprisingly sharp in use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I like practical things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod smiled and changed the topic, \"Can I get a complete record of the information you obtained from today’s lizardman interrogation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I’ll also share the information I obtained from my interrogation with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, I’ll have the guards compile it soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Blom smiled and said, \"I’ll first take the lizardman bodies back, and I’ll have someone send you the intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Rod nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have time, you’re welcome to visit my little town,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Blom nodded slightly in a gesture of respect,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take my leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod returned the gesture and watched as Baron Blom left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had I known the lizardman corpses were worth so much, I should have mobilized all my forces to set up a larger net to ambush these lizardmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though risky, the gains were considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod couldn’t help but muse inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, Rod felt that the current situation was alright too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Baron Blom, he wouldn’t have realized the lizardmen were so valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, there are still a lot of lizardmen, and in the future, it’s impossible for me to take on all of them alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s wise to concede some benefits so that Baron Blom will be willing to join forces with me against the lizardmen in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Razor Plain is closer to the Icefield Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord Baron, the information on your sister has been checked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian’s voice interrupted Rod’s thoughts, saying, \"She found a small note at the end mentioning a flaw of the Mirror of True Sight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the user of the Mirror of True Sight does not have at least fifteen points of spiritual power, the user cannot switch the forced monitoring target at will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian explained, \"The only way is to kill the monitoring target to reclaim the spiritual mark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does forced monitoring target mean?\" Rod asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It means monitoring a target that does not wish to be monitored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, unless Chris is killed, the Mirror of True Sight can’t monitor anyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod pursued the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian nodded in response, \"It can’t monitor any forced monitoring targets, only those willing to be monitored are unaffected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought Chris was some child of destiny, affecting the fortunes of the lizardman tribes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod joked, feeling much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mirror of True Sight can monitor the target’s location, see what they see, and predict their actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod had been worried about what to do if others were silently marked with the spiritual mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems there’s no need to worry for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just protect Chris well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect such a powerful magical item would have this kind of flaw,\" Vivian sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t a flaw; it’s called a usage threshold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod raised his hand and waved, \"Did you think all magical items were as low-level as the ring on my hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mirror of True Sight is something used by official wizards, and the spiritual power threshold for an official wizard is above fifty points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, in that case, fifteen points of spiritual power aren’t a flaw,\" Vivian nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s only in this era of magical deserts that it’s like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod sighed, then looked at Chris in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod waved him over, calling him to the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris quickly ran over and bowed in a gesture of respect,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, do you have any instructions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod smiled as he instructed, \"Once this is over, you can go back and rest for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris was momentarily stunned, his mouth slightly open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to want to say something but hesitated for a moment and ultimately just nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to worry; I’m not dissatisfied with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De saw the somewhat disappointed Chris and explained with a smile, \"You did very well, it’s just that I need you to take a good rest for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help saying, \"If you trust me, my Lord, I don’t need to rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris understood that there were many things needing attention at Black Pine Ridge; if he were truly valued, there would be no time for rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Chris had already regained his composure, though his heart was filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did Baron Rod appear here so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Baron Blom, whose territory was troubled by magical beasts, also present?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed orchestrated, as if to ambush those Lizardmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why was none of this plan disclosed to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did Gang Le and Rein go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De pondered, \"Forget it, the other side probably realized it’s a trap too, so telling you doesn’t matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I was monitored by magic items, and you used me as bait to make the Lizardmen split their forces?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Luo De’s explanation, Chris’s eyes widened, and then he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder I got ambushed, and our base was found by the Lizardmen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, how did I get hit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris was full of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many ways to leave a spiritual mark,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De thought for a moment and explained, \"By eating something, or by killing certain people or animals, you can be cursed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the curse is activated, the spiritual mark will fall upon you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using your hair, your blood can also curse you,\" Vivian added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Chris frowned, his eyes filled with panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, I can’t resist at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spells aren’t something ordinary people can resist, let alone the Mirror of True Sight, which is a high-level magic item.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De comforted, \"So this isn’t your fault, even if it were someone else, they couldn’t resist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your kindness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris solemnly bowed to Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, he continued, \"Since that’s the case, I really can’t stay here any longer; whatever you need me to do, let me know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll blindfold you and send you back to the territory of Black Pine Ridge, where you can relax with your wife for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De conveyed his plan to Chris and then added, \"You can also raise any requests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no requests; I’m now a transparent person under surveillance, and your willingness to keep me is already merciful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris stated solemnly, \"I only hope, I can still do more for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve already done a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled, \"Your living will make the Mirror of True Sight ineffective, so they have to kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it seems I’m still quite useful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris smiled, \"Then I’ll go back and do some hard labor for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won’t do; I need you to rest well and take the time to cultivate your Breathing Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De patted Chris on the shoulder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once these matters calm down, I’ll reward you with a longsword I crafted myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your generosity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris’s eyes lit up, his face instantly filled with joy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, I will live well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fools! Idiots!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Icefield Mountain Range, in a hidden cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lizardman holding a bone staff looked at the scene in the mirror before him, cursing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lizardman appeared far more frail than a normal Lizardman, yet exuded a strange pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scales were dark purple, covered with mottled patterns, as if ancient runes were engraved on his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head was long, with a pigeon-egg-sized purple crystal embedded on the forehead, where fog seemed to flow within, faintly exuding magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were even more peculiar, one was a Lizardman’s slit pupil, while the other was a solid icy blue, devoid of an eyeball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the mirror he was watching was covered with black cloth, completely devoid of an image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-level magic item was rendered useless by a simple piece of black cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bunch of dirty scum, you can’t even kill a weak human, and you fell into a trap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frail Lizardman’s voice was chilly, shouting to the outside of the cave,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly Lizardman rushed in, kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, looking extremely respectful,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great Shaman, please give your command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Notify all the tribesmen, mixed bloods, and those alien races who serve us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frail Lizardman thrust the bone staff into the ground with force, his voice hoarse and somber,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as they kill that Chris, they can have whatever they want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1537,"2026-05-30T15:19:45.195Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","09fc05717cdb79d07e17d30012b45638168531351bcb9967ba9837a9059a4172","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-291","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-289",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
