Chapter 219

Through the "questioning" of Otto—which was actually Jie Ming's unilateral pressure and Otto's trembling full confession—Jie Ming also roughly knew what had happened in his territory in these fifty years.

The process was actually similar to what he thought.

Because he had been away for too long, so long that it exceeded more than half of the lifespan of mortals, many first-generation servants thought that their master, who was like a "god," had fallen in some unknown world.

And the second and third generations born later had never seen the terror and greatness of wizards and related existences with their own eyes. They also gradually lost their awe for the legends about the "master" passed down by their ancestors.

Over time, the human race automatically formed a new social order in this semi-enclosed territory of his.

After Otto finished these basic situations, he ignored any image of a "King" and crawled down from the throne, kneeling heavily on the ground. His forehead was pressed against the cold stone slab, and his body trembled violently due to fear.

In a tone that was almost pleading, he defended himself:

"Great Master! I—at the beginning, I really just honestly managed the human race according to your requirements! But later—later the population became larger and larger, and the food you left behind was really not enough—"

"I—I was also forced to be helpless, so I could only take risks, take some people to the forest outside, look for some edible plant seeds, and send people to cultivate—"

"Over time, those newly born humans, because of the grace of food, honored me—honored me as King..."

"Master, please believe me! I have never had the intention of betraying you! Please—please forgive my sins!"

On the other side, those soldiers who had finally recovered from Jie Ming's pressure and just rushed into the main hall were dumbfounded when they saw their king, who was usually majestic, kneeling on the ground like a humble worm.

Their brains were blank, completely unable to understand the scene happening in front of them.

Jie Ming was noncommittal about Otto's answer.

He certainly knew that this guy must have hidden some of his own little thoughts, such as enjoying the pleasure brought by power, and tacitly allowing future generations to forget his existence, etc.

However, judging from the weak contract perception from the depths of the soul, what the other party said was generally not deceiving him.

Moreover, judging from the results, the other party did not do badly.

After all, Jie Ming originally only planned to go on a "business trip" for more than ten years and come back after saving enough Red Dust Qi.

Before he left, he prepared various resources and subsequent arrangements according to the standard of twenty years.

Who could have thought that he would encounter an accident like a "living plane," and he was busy for more than fifty years.

This area is Jie Ming's private territory.

Without his permission, generally no other wizard would dare to enter another wizard's territory to investigate at will.

This also led to Jie Ming's territory only being able to undergo the most primitive natural development.

And when Jie Ming received this group of people, his plan at that time was to let these servants experience multiple rounds of genetic and soul transformation and screening as soon as possible, so that they could completely become "qualified" humans in the wizarding world.

Therefore, Jie Ming did not sign that kind of "racial contract" covering the entire ethnic group for them, but only signed personal servant contracts for the first generation of people at that time.

The time was too long, and without the suppression of bloodline contracts, it was normal for such changes to appear in future generations.

However, Jie Ming still had two doubts in his heart.

He bypassed Otto's humble defense and asked directly: "What is the situation with the Elf race and the Dwarf race? Why did the battle happen? Humans have short lifespans and fast reproduction, and future generations are not restricted by contracts, I can understand."

"But for the Elf race and the Dwarf race, their lifespans are very long, the first generation should not have died much, right? What is going on with them?"

Mentioning the Elves and Dwarves, Otto's old face showed full confusion, as if he knew very little about this.

He carefully raised his head and explained:

"Back to Master, I don't know the specific situation at that time. I only know that about twenty years ago, the Elf race and Dwarf race who were responsible for managing the core of the Golden Garden suddenly announced together that our human population was too large and consumed too many resources, so they could no longer provide us with enough food."

"I was also helpless, so I could only take most of the excess population out to cultivate land by myself and seek a way to survive."

"But I didn't expect that not long after we came out, the Elf race and Dwarf race suddenly closed the Golden Garden and locked us out completely!"

"Later, the Dwarf race and Elf race didn't know why they fell out and broke into a fierce conflict. Then, the Dwarf race also took their ethnic group and a set of core 'Material Converters' and forcibly left the Golden Garden, establishing a stronghold in the mountains on the other side."

"Since then, the contradictions between the three races have become deeper and deeper, with constant friction, and now—it has become like this."

After listening, Jie Ming nodded expressionlessly.

He already had a rough guess in his heart, it seems the problem is still inside the Golden Garden.

"Get up, follow me." Jie Ming ordered Otto.

Then, he ignored the dumbfounded soldiers in the main hall, his figure moved and flew out of the castle.

Flying at high speed toward his Golden Garden.

Although Otto was already old, he was a Tier 2 legendary warrior after all and could already walk in the air with his own power.

Knowing that Jie Ming should not kill him anymore, he felt a little relieved in his heart, immediately mobilized the little power in his body to fly up, and followed closely behind Jie Ming.

Soon, the Golden Garden built with his mansion as the center appeared in front of Jie Ming.

However, the scene in front of him made him couldn't help but sneer.

I saw that the entire garden was actually completely covered by several huge green barriers like emerald glaze!

On the barrier, natural energy flowed slowly, emitting a powerful repulsive force.

And behind the barrier, there was actually a group of elves holding magic wands made of bright flowers, waiting in full battle array.

They were wearing armor woven from vines, with vigilance and hostility on their faces, obviously treating Jie Ming and Otto as invaders.

Facing the hostility of these people, Jie Ming turned a blind eye.

He didn't mean to let the other party open the barrier, but raised his hand on his own.

Over the years, although Jie Ming hadn't improved his level, in the fifty years in the Flame-Frost Plane, his accumulation of knowledge had never been put down.

Especially in the later period, because of the lack of assistants, those high-tier wizards had to issue tasks directly in the camp, letting logistics wizards help process the massive data and theories they recorded when studying the living plane.

In the process of tedious data processing, Jie Ming also understood his knowledge more deeply, and those high-level knowledge that flowed out benefited him a lot.

According to Mentor Clark, the current Jie Ming can be considered to have a bit of a "wizard" look, and is no longer that "apprentice" who only relied on powerful spiritual power and violent means to solve problems.

If it were the Jie Ming of fifty years ago, facing these layers of powerful natural energy barriers, he might need to rely on high-equivalent energy impact to forcibly blast them open. But now he only needs to use the most basic "Analysis Technique."

Jie Ming stretched out his index finger and pressed it gently on the emerald green barrier.

Hum—!

An invisible spiritual power fluctuation, with his fingertip as the center, instantly spread out.

The barrier in front of him was quickly analyzed under his powerful spiritual power and the assistance of the Analysis Technique.

Its complex energy structure, flowing circuits, and energy nodes were instantly analyzed clearly.

Then, he mobilized his spiritual power, like the most exquisite scalpel, and easily pried several of the weakest energy nodes.

In the eyes of a group of elves who were shocked to the point of being unable to add more, the green barrier under Jie Ming's hand was like a fragile, baked biscuit, as his palm exerted a slight force—

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Several crisp cracking sounds rang out in succession, and the several layers of powerful defensive barriers that were continuously superimposed were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and then shattered with a bang, turning into green light spots all over the sky, dissipating in the air.

Behind the barrier, those dozen elf guards still wanted to raise the magic wands in their hands to resist, but suddenly, an urgent voice came from behind them:

"Stop! No rudeness to the Master!"

I saw an elf rushing from the depths of the garden, and while running, he ordered those guards with all his strength.

When he saw Jie Ming's familiar and terrifying face, the blood on this elf's face instantly drained away.

He didn't have any hesitation, immediately knelt on both knees, and respectfully performed the most noble etiquette of the Elf race to Jie Ming.

"Great Master! Please forgive me!"

Jie Ming also recognized this elf who rushed over later.

He was also familiar with this elf, the other party was exactly the one responsible for managing the Elf race among the three administrators he arranged back then,

an elf named "Alvin."

Alvin looked respectful, burying his head deeply in the grass, not daring to look at Jie Ming's face.

However, the few young elves next to him who were forced to kneel by his command obviously didn't think so.

Although they knelt down due to Alvin's majesty, their movements looked stiff and perfunctory.

Jie Ming could even clearly see that the elf leader among them had obvious dissatisfaction and contempt on his face.

And judging from the standing position when Alvin rushed over just now, that elf with a dissatisfied expression on his face should be the leader of this elf guard squad.
