Chapter 743: The Norcross Family

Inside the Elf Temple, Andiya sneered and withdrew her hand.

"To think you really believed we didn't know you were hiding on the outskirts of the Elf Kingdom—truly laughable!"

"Can you tell who he is?" Lingyun asked.

"Based on the intelligence gathered so far, this person should belong to the secret guards of a family. It is very difficult to extract information about their family from someone like this." Andiya shook her head with some helplessness.

"Nia, you try," Lingyun said to Bentiao Eya.

"Mm." Bentiao Eya opened her book, and lines of text emerged on the pages.

However, an anomaly suddenly occurred; these characters began to distort halfway through their appearance, turning into strange, illegible scribbles.

"This is?" Staring at the scribbles on the page, Lingyun could not help but frown.

At the same time, in a dark cave, the black-robed figure's body shuddered violently, and fine, dense beads of cold sweat broke out on their forehead.

"What is it?" the person in the darkness asked.

"Someone just used Fate Power to try and probe the information of our secret agent. Fortunately, the opponent's methods were very crude, and I discovered it in advance." The black-robed figure wiped the cold sweat from their temple and spoke.

"Fate Power? Didn't you say that in this world, you are the only Fate Mage left?"

"Although I am the only Fate Mage left in this world, that does not mean others cannot use Fate Power. Moreover, the inheritance of Fate Mages has not been completely extinguished," the black-robed figure said. "However, I have now completely scrambled the Fate Power on that secret agent. Unless that person possesses Fate Power at the level of a God, they won't be able to untangle the Fate Power on that person."

"Sorry, Lingyun, this time I really have no way," looking at the scribbles in front of her, Bentiao Eya shook her head with a helpless expression. "If you want to decipher these scribbles, unless my strength can reach the level of a God in this world, there is not a shred of hope."

"Disrupting Fate Power? So that's how it is; no wonder the opponent's every move could be so perfectly timed. Every time I made a move, they could foresee it and dodge my traps," Andiya frowned slightly. "But if there really is a Fate Mage behind that person, our actions will inevitably face huge obstacles."

"A Fate Mage, huh?" Lingyun's brows lifted slightly, and he reached out to press his hand onto the Whispering Manuscript.

A faint light rose from the Whispering Manuscript, and it once again transformed into the state of the giant book that Bentiao Eya had seen before.

"There shouldn't be any problem now!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Th-this, there is indeed no problem now," Bentiao Eya looked at the text on the page and nodded. "This secret guard is from a small family called Andika in the Norton Empire."

"A small family? Are you sure a so-called small family would have a secret guard at the God Domain level? This is simply a joke," Andiya could not help but widen her eyes.

"That's right, this is the situation I investigated. And his purpose here is to monitor the Elf Kingdom, wanting to capture an elf named Aiweier," Bentiao Eya said.

"Capture Aiweier?" Lingyun and Andiya looked at each other, a hint of confusion in their eyes. "Why would the opponent want to capture Aiweier? Could it be that Aiweier's identity has been exposed?"

"That is impossible. Aiweier has the protection of the Goddess; even if the opponent is a Fate Mage, it is impossible for them to know Aiweier's true identity," Lingyun said.

"In other words, the opponent has set their sights on Aiweier's other talents. Could it be the ability to create Space Scrolls?" Andiya asked with some confusion.

"It is not impossible. But there is one more point, and that is the Wind Holy Sword! Andiya, don't forget, Aiweier previously possessed the ability to control a portion of the Wind Holy Sword!" Lingyun reminded her.

"Could it be that this family is related to the person who stole the corpse of the Demon World lord back then?" Andiya immediately thought of a possibility.

"Nia, check and see," Lingyun said.

"I've checked; this small family named Andika is actually a branch of a family named the Norcross family," Bentiao Eya flipped through the book in front of her rapidly. "And this family was an extremely prominent great family before the Millennium Holy War. But after the Millennium Holy War, it fell into a state of concealment. Moreover, the information on this family is shrouded in Fate Power. This Fate Power is quite powerful; if I forcibly decipher this information, the opponent might notice."

"The Norcross family?" Andiya frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking of. "Since this family was extremely prominent before the Millennium Holy War, there must be records in the Elf Temple. I will go look for them; perhaps I will have some harvest."

"I will leave this aspect to you. The situation is changing rapidly during this period, and many forces are eyeing the Elf race covetously. I will stay in the Morning Light Forest for the time being to see exactly who dares to make a move against the Elf race," Lingyun said.

Just at this moment, the shadow under Lingyun's feet suddenly twisted.

Andiya felt a start in her heart; the Elf Scepter appeared in her hand, her eyes staring fixedly at the shadow under Lingyun's feet.

"Don't worry, it's my clone returning," Lingyun said.

Another Lingyun suddenly jumped out from Lingyun's shadow, making Andiya widen her eyes. She discovered that if it weren't for the fact that the two Lingyuns were dressed differently, she wouldn't be able to tell who was who at all.

"Didn't you go to track those Orcs? How come you're back so soon?" Lingyun asked with some confusion.

"Because the task you entrusted to me has already been completed, so I came back!" the Lingyun clone said, dragging a person directly out from the shadows.

"This is... an Elf scout? And an Elf scout at the Sky Tier?" Looking at the figure dragged out of the shadows by his clone, Lingyun could not help but frown.

"Siroer? Didn't I send him to investigate the situation in the Morning Light Forest? How could he be here?" Looking at the unconscious Elf scout, Andiya could not help but frown.

"He was ambushed, and the person who ambushed him was one God Domain Orc and several Sky Tier Orcs. They had a piece of special equipment in their hands that directly broke his stealth and bound him. In a situation where the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was vast, it is not strange that he was captured," the Lingyun clone said.

"Orcs, they have also come to the Morning Light Forest?" Andiya pinched the bridge of her nose with some helplessness. "What do they want to do by capturing Siroer?"

"I know! Previously, Lingyun and I overheard their conversation. It seems that because the Orc Great Shaman wants to perform a Blood Sacrifice, they came to this place to capture people. Now it seems I wasn't wrong; the opponent really is capturing elves for a Blood Sacrifice!" Bentiao Eya said.

"Orc Great Shaman, you are courting death!" Hearing Bentiao Eya's words, Andiya slammed her Elf Scepter against the ground, her tone full of fury.

"The most important point now is that we must figure out why the Orc Great Shaman wants to use elves for a Blood Sacrifice. You must know that the Orc Empire is currently preparing to launch a war against the three great Human empires; if there wasn't some special reason, they wouldn't make a great enemy for themselves for no reason," Lingyun said.

"I will have my subordinates investigate this matter. It won't take long, and I believe we will have news," Andiya said.
