Chapter 133: I Am Not a Little Shrimp!

Honestly, Edward did not want to involve Lita in this matter at the beginning.

But there was no help for it; if he didn't tell Lita the truth, she would likely go and report to the Guard Hall.

If she were to act alongside that group of moles from the Church, any danger she might encounter would be beyond his control.

What's more, given Lita's personality, getting her to give up voluntarily was an almost impossible task.

So, he had no choice but to take Lita along with him.

At the very least, while she was by his side, he would do everything in his power to ensure her safety.

And now, Edward glanced at Molike in the distance, then looked at Elena, the Third-tier Expert Shadow Guard who had revealed herself from the shadows.

Compared to the Fourth-tier Master Scarlet Messenger they might encounter later, leaving Lita here was indeed the safer choice.

Thinking of this, he spoke up: "Then let's do as the Princess says."

"Mm." Lita nodded lightly.

Seeing the unwillingness in his daughter's emotions, Edward took the initiative to crouch down, placed his hands on her shoulders, and said: "Everyone has things they can do, and things they ought to do."

"Your old man only attained his current strength after reaching a certain age; you are still young."

But Yun Mu and Brenna are both younger than me, even though I am clearly the oldest one, it should have been me protecting them with my sword—Lita suppressed these thoughts in her heart and did not say them out loud.

She subconsciously clenched her fists and secretly made a certain resolution.

"Next time, next time it absolutely won't be like this," she said in an extremely tiny voice.

"Heh." Hearing her murmur, Edward smiled, feeling reassured.

"I believe in you," he said in a steady voice.

". Mm!" Lita nodded, her voice carrying a hint of a sob.

Without speaking, Edward used his hand to stroke his daughter's head.

"Pardon the display, let's go," he stood up and looked at Brenna and Yun Mu.

"Not at all," Brenna shook her head.

She looked at Lita with a slightly envious gaze, then withdrew her eyes and looked at Elena, saying: "I leave it to you, Elena."

After a pause, she added: "Please be sure to ensure Miss Lita's safety."

"Understood," Elena replied respectfully.

After settling the matters, Yun Mu, Brenna, and Edward came to the side of this small creek filled with sewage, preparing to cross it.

But the method of crossing was not what Yun Mu had initially imagined.

"Pardon me."

Edward stood between the two, wrapped one arm around each of their waists, and lifted them both up with ease.

Feeling the sensation of both her hands and feet dangling in the air, Yun Mu once again realized the fact that she was a little shrimp.

The next second, Edward exerted force under his feet! "Bang!"

The power of a Fourth-tier Master Wave-Treading Knight erupted instantly, and accompanied by a muffled sound, Edward easily leaped over the twenty-meter-wide ditch.

"Whoa!" Yun Mu covered her small mouth in excitement.

It felt just like being on a swing, "whoosh" and they were across; it was actually quite fun! "Miss Yun, can you perceive the environment in this housing area?"

After Edward gently set the two down, Brenna looked at Yun Mu and asked.

"Mm, I'll try." Hearing Brenna's words, Yun Mu came back to her senses and pushed her Blood Perception ability to the maximum.

"Excluding the Church's Transcendental, there are about fifty people, among whom there is one Transcendental..." Yun Mu frowned. "Is something wrong?" Noticing her expression, Brenna asked.

"No." Shaking her head, Yun Mu said: "It's just that I feel the Transcendental's blood is somewhat familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

"It's a Second-tier Elite," she added after a pause.

"Are there traces of a Bloodline?" Brenna asked again.

"No." Yun Mu shook her head.

"Although there are no traces of a Bloodline, I inexplicably have a feeling of palpitation," Yun Mu said, placing her left hand over her chest.

Zzzzz... After Yun Mu said these words, a slightly harsh electromagnetic sound suddenly rang out from Brenna's body.

"Hm?"

Brenna immediately reached into her bosom and took out a pocket watch with a brass-plated exterior.

"The detector's pollution index is rising; it seems we've come to the right place," Brenna said, looking at the red needle shaking inside the pocket watch.

"This is?" Yun Mu looked at the pocket watch with some curiosity.

"I'll explain as we walk," Brenna signaled for her to lead the way.

"This is a Katala Detector, a mechanical device capable of detecting the influence of Outer Gods on Xianshi. Generally speaking, the greater the needle's oscillation, the more severe the pollution in this area," Brenna explained to Yun Mu as they walked.

"Outer Gods?" Yun Mu was a bit confused and asked: "How does this device distinguish the power of Outer Gods?"

"It doesn't distinguish," Brenna shook her head. Since there was nothing else to do for the moment, she explained to Yun Mu:

"Outer Gods generally refer to god-level existences that invade Xianshi from outside the world, and the Katala Detector will react to any power from outside the world."

"The principle is actually not difficult."

Seeming to be organizing her words, Brenna paused for a moment and said: "You should know that our world is composed of countless Ether."

"And outside the world, there is no Ether. Therefore, those guys who invade from outside the world must transform into the form of an Ether Body in order to adapt to the rules of our world."

"But this transformation is essentially a process of eroding existing Ether, which is why the power of Outer Gods possesses extremely strong pollution."

"And when facing erosion, formless energy bodies are generally the first to be changed."

As she spoke, Brenna picked up the Katala Detector in her hand and said: "This detector is stuffed with a large amount of Katala Magnet. When facing erosion, the magnetic field here will be the first to change."

"This change is extremely weak, but the Katala Detector amplifies this reaction countless times and displays it in the form of a needle."

"Therefore, the greater the needle's oscillation, the more severe the pollution here."

"A clever approach," hearing Brenna's explanation, Lucy, who had been keeping quiet, suddenly spoke up.

Yun Mu naturally could not converse with Lucy at this moment, so she could only pretend she had not heard her speak and said, "So that's how it is."

"So who is Katala?" she could not help but ask.

"Sigh." With a barely perceptible sigh, Brenna said, "The person who discovered the Katala Magnet and invented this detector is named Katala."

"If you want more detailed information, I can tell you that he was a person of the Frost Kingdom, born in the year 3856 of the Heral Calendar, lived to the age of 211, and was a Fourth Order Master."

"Stop, stop, stop, I was just asking casually," Yun Mu hurriedly interrupted.

PS: It is quite obvious that the Scarlet's corruption of this world is far more severe than anyone (except Lucy) knows.

Because it was only after it had eroded all the Ether belonging to the Blood Clan that it was urgently cut off from the world into the Echo.

The ability to naturally manipulate blood that originally belonged to the Blood Clan, as well as the Path domain belonging to the 【Blood Clan】, were all soaked and dyed by it into the appearance of 【Scarlet】.
