Chapter 3542

Inside the Vadi family sacrificial hall, the tentacles hanging from the ceiling turned into scale-fluff and scattered down, falling all over the ground like snowflakes.

After crushing the centipede insect to death, Su Xiao shook off the bloodstains on the long sword, and the long sword returned to its sheath. This fight with the old monster was truly unexpected. Although it was very dangerous, this was also an entry point.

In the few days since entering this world, Su Xiao had a feeling that the forces within this world seemed loose, but in reality, he couldn't find an entry point. And right now, slaughtering the old monster was no different from opening a gap in a sealed container, allowing him to peek at the secrets inside.

【Hint: You have killed Ten Thousand Insects, Vadi Treich.】

【You have obtained % of the World's Source.】

【You have obtained Golden Skill Point x1.】

【You have obtained the Immortal-grade Treasure Chest: Immortal Insect.】

【You have obtained the Family Badge.】

【Family Badge (Special Item): This badge represents the head of the Vadi family. It has extremely high prestige among the Beast Race, Mad Beast Race, Refugee Tribes, etc. Holding this badge, one can negotiate, trade, etc., with most intelligent creatures on the Badlands.】

Although the World's Source obtained from killing the old monster was not small, compared to the old monster's strength, it didn't quite match. Considering this old monster had always been hiding behind the scenes, and in order to pursue immortality, he had given up a lot, his influence on this world was naturally small. This was one of the important judgments for the acquisition ratio of the World's Source.

A long time ago, Su Xiao knew that the acquisition amount of the World's Source was not equal to the enemy's strength. Generally, the stronger the individual, the greater the influence on the world they were in, and the more World's Source obtained after killing them.

And the Golden Skill Point in the kill reward was clearly recognition and proof of the old monster's past strength.

Su Xiao looked at the badge in his hand. Looking closely at the Vadi family's crest now, the more he looked, the more it looked like a coiled centipede, only the centipede had been beautified and simplified.

From the data of this badge, it could be seen that the Vadi family had had no shortage of dealings with the Beast Race, Mad Beast Race, and Refugee Tribes in recent years. This was actually normal. The Vadi family was mainly in business, and some materials outside the city were all acquired by them, or found by the Healing Church's expedition teams.

Speaking of expedition teams, one had to mention the Workshop. The expedition team was the representative of the Workshop's combat power, mainly responsible for investigating the situation on the Badlands, as well as whether the Beast Race, Mad Beast Race, Refugee Tribes, etc., had any movements to attack High Wall City.

Comparing combat power for the entire Healing Church, the expedition team and the Treatment Institute were evenly matched. Both sides had overly rich combat experience. The former often fought with various mad beasts, while the latter handled various eerie events and fought with eerie creatures.

If one wanted to leave High Wall City, finding an old member of the expedition team to lead the way was the best choice. The various harsh environments of the Badlands, as well as the astonishing climate changes, were no joke. One moment it was sunny, and the next moment it would rain black rain that eroded the soul.

【Hint: Promotion Mission: Fourth Ring (Triggered).】

【Promotion Mission: Open the Door (Fourth Ring)】

Difficulty Level:.

Mission Introduction: Find the entrance to the Root of the Dead City and open the sealed door leading to the Root of the Dead City.

Mission Deadline: 6 natural days.

Mission Reward: Shelter Stone x10.

Mission Penalty: None.

With the key in hand, the follow-up was, of course, to open the door, so Su Xiao was not surprised by the fourth ring of the promotion mission.

As for the few clues given by this mission, that wasn't a big problem. In the past, the mission clues given weren't many either. After killing the old monster, Su Xiao had already found an entry point.

Su Xiao didn't rush to leave the sacrificial hall. According to his rich experience, a secret place like the deep world was simply an excellent place to hide treasures.

People like the old monster were highly likely to hide all their treasures in a secret room or a hidden cabinet. Once the mechanism opening method was wrong, it would lead to the destruction of the treasures inside, so as not to benefit the enemy.

After some searching, Su Xiao discovered clues on the stone chair where the old monster sat before. On the armrests of this stone chair, there were indentations of varying depths, and they could be pressed down. This was clearly a mechanism password of some kind.

Regarding this, Su Xiao's experience was very rich. He prepared a large jar of quick-freeze solution on the spot and put it into an atomizing device. After activation, the atomizing device suspended on the stone chair sprayed a large amount of quick-freeze mist within a short 0.5 seconds, freezing the entire stone chair and the rock and soil layer several meters deep below it.

God knows what mechanisms were under this stone chair. At low tiers, Su Xiao would try every method to break it in various ways, but now, he was at the eighth tier, almost the ninth.

Boom!

With one kick from Su Xiao, the entire stone chair and a large lump of ground below turned into ice chips and flew forward. After all, he was a person almost at the ninth tier; the way to break mechanisms had long been plain and simple, returning to the basics.

Solving puzzles, speculating—those were means used when the tier wasn't high enough and the essence hadn't been seen through. Freezing it and then one kick solved everything.

Stairs leading to the underground appeared. Su Xiao walked down the stairs. After walking down more than ten steps, a silver-gray metal door blocked the way.

A circular lock disk was embedded on the door. On the lock disk, a face emerged and said, "Password."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't know any password. He stepped back a few steps, preparing for a running start, and then a straight kick.

"Wait, wait."

The lock disk opposite, or rather, the lock disk spirit, spoke with a trembling voice of fear. It was seen turning on its own. After a few clicks, the silver-gray metal door opened in response.

"Please come in, sir. By the way, I was forced to watch the door here. I'm not familiar with that old insect. Haha, hahahahaha."

The lock disk spirit laughed exceptionally enthusiastically because it felt that if this terrifying "humanoid blood energy monster" opposite kicked it, it could choose its reincarnation on the spot.

"Don't hold too much hope. That old insect pursued immortality for so many years. The wealth accumulated by the Vadi family, apart from fixed assets, 99% of the stored wealth was used by him in this aspect."

The lock disk spirit smiled all over its face, fearing that any word would provoke Su Xiao and he would give it a sword.

"..."

Su Xiao walked into the secret room. The secret room was not big, about ten square meters. Inside, there were two rows of shelves on the left and right. Although there were many treasures on them, most of them couldn't be brought out of this world.

For items of this kind, Su Xiao took them all. If they couldn't be brought out of this world, they could be sacrificed to the 【Oath Badge: White Dragon】. Although he discovered that sometimes sacrificing comic books had higher returns than sacrificing precious items, this was just an occasional phenomenon.

However, this made Su Xiao certain of one point: the items sacrificed through the 【Oath Badge: White Dragon】 mostly ended up with the White Dragon Girl.

Speaking of which, the White Dragon Girl seemed to be the wealthiest among everyone Su Xiao knew. Back then, the Ancient Dragon faction and the Sun faction nearly perished together, and the heritage of these two civilizations was kept by the White Dragon Girl.

Su Xiao activated the 【Oath Badge: White Dragon】, and a vortex appeared. Su Xiao threw in various secret treasures that couldn't be brought out of this world, and finally, after throwing in one of Benny's comic books, he closed the sacrifice of the 【Oath Badge: White Dragon】.

Excluding these, Su Xiao's total gains were as follows:

【You have obtained 1185 ancient gold coins.】

【You have obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) x83.】

【You have obtained Overlord Essence x1.】

【You have obtained Insect Book: Calamity Body Reincarnation (Prop/Knowledge Book).】

【You have obtained Filthy Insect Fossil (Immortal-grade item).】

Su Xiao put away the ancient gold coins, soul crystals, and Overlord Essence, then picked up the 【Insect Book: Calamity Body Reincarnation】.

【Insect Book: Calamity Body Reincarnation】

Origin: Dark Continent, Sacrificial Courtyard.

Category: Prop/Knowledge Book.

Hint: The effects achieved by directly using and learning this book later are different.

Durability: 5/7.

Usage Effect: After using this item, it can be used as a voucher to conduct one transaction with the Ancient Insect King. Before conducting this transaction, you must ensure that you already possess the bait that the Ancient Insect King likes to eat.

Hint: After feeding the Ancient Insect King, it will return??? to you, or swallow you in one bite.

Recorded Content: This book records knowledge about filthy insects, immortality, insect kings, etc.

Introduction: An object passed down from the God Era to the present.

Su Xiao put away the 【Insect Book: Calamity Body Reincarnation】. He wasn't interested in the knowledge recorded on it; conversely, he was particularly interested in trading with the Ancient Insect King.

From the item introduction, trading with the Ancient Insect King not only required preparing the bait the other party liked, but even after feeding, what the other party gave depended entirely on their mood. If they were in a bad mood, it was very likely they would swallow the trader in one bite.

For such an existence, Su Xiao had always welcomed it. Just from the name Ancient Insect King, one could infer that this was both an ancient and powerful existence.

Ancient + box quality is higher.

No one stipulated that after summoning the Ancient Insect King, one must trade with the other party. This wasn't playing a game, having to follow the game plot. Setting up traps in advance, summoning the Ancient Insect King, and then slaughtering it to get kill rewards—wouldn't that be wonderful? Why look at the other party's mood, and if things went wrong, even be swallowed by the other party?

Su Xiao picked up the last 【Filthy Insect Fossil】 and checked its attributes.

【Filthy Insect Fossil】

Origin: Dark Continent, Root of the Dead City.

Quality: Immortal-grade.

Category: Rare Material.

Introduction: A heart core slashed from the "Sin Collection" by a certain Chosen One with a holy insect sword. Unfortunately, this Chosen One was defeated by the "Sin Collection" and finally left the Dead City with a dying body. From then on, this Chosen One developed a near-twisted obsession with immortality.

Su Xiao examined the semi-transparent fossil in his hand. For a moment, he didn't think of the use of this thing, but the Immortal-grade quality was there. Although the material quality could be defaulted to half a grade lower compared to the quality of other items, its value couldn't be denied.

After leaving the secret room, Su Xiao stopped by the door, tilted his head and looked at the lock disk spirit for a moment, then raised his hand and pressed toward the silver-gray metal door.

With a crack, the silver-gray metal door collapsed, and a semi-fluid metal inside drilled into the ground crack.

The reason Su Xiao did this was because he had detected the lock disk spirit with the God's Eye. This thing was not powerful but had existed for a long time and was in a state of being imprisoned.

For such an existence, killing it had no harvest; it was better to let it go and form a good relationship. If he encountered it later, it might come in handy.

As for the lock disk spirit being ungrateful and not knowing how to repay kindness, it didn't matter; Su Xiao would make the other party know how to repay kindness.

Su Xiao closed the 【Sacred Divider】 in the activated state. With a click, accompanied by the closing of the 【Sacred Divider】, he felt a strong repulsive force coming.

With a whoosh, the sound of wind whistled past his ears. Su Xiao had returned to the passage composed of purple tissue. He returned along the original path and arrived at the sealed place. After he activated a star stone on the passage wall, the closed passage in front quickly dissolved.

The path opened. Baha and Old Chaman, who had been waiting on the opposite side, rushed over. Baha asked, "Boss, is the matter settled?"

"Hmm."

Su Xiao continued to walk out. When he reached the crack at the exit, he saw Amu's upper body hanging down from above.

"Moo?"

Amu saw the bloodstains on Su Xiao and knew the matter had been settled. It shrank back hard and got rid of the crack.

It had to be said that Amu was sometimes not a blockhead, just like this time. It seemed to be stubborn about squeezing into the crack, but in reality, Amu knew it couldn't enter, plus the space here was different, and Baha couldn't open the different space at will.

Under such circumstances, Amu still squeezed here to block the Duke, Madam Yan, and others who wanted to enter the crack. It just got stuck here. Others couldn't enter, and didn't dare to easily make a move against it. Attacking Amu was equivalent to forming a feud with Su Xiao, equivalent to being hostile to the entire Treatment Institute.

After Su Xiao exited the crack and returned to the ground, he found that many people had gathered around. Great Sage Turz, Bishop Ansi, the Duke, and Madam Yan were all there. It could be said that these people around were the power top-tier of all forces in High Wall City.

Of course, excluding those like the Archbishop and the Holy Priest. These old guys had lived too long; no one could compare to them. High Wall City was built by them single-handedly. However, these old guys all upheld one principle: as long as it wasn't the time for High Wall City to be destroyed, they wouldn't care about other things.

"Disperse your people."

Su Xiao spoke. He was preparing to talk about a business deal.

Hearing this, Madam Yan was the first to raise her hand, and her subordinates behind her all retreated. The Duke and Bishop Ansi also expressed their stance one after another, and finally, it was Great Sage Turz.

Before long, except for Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, only five people remained on the scene. A crystal chair was constructed behind Su Xiao. He sat on it naturally. Although he was baring his upper body and had bloodstains and wounds on his body, he didn't care, but lit a cigarette.

"Want to talk about a business deal with you."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, Great Sage Turz immediately knew what was going on. He turned and left, having no interest in this false reputation.

"I have no money, I'm very poor."

Bishop Ansi expressed an apologetic smile and also left, leaving only the Duke and Madam Yan.

Dealing with these guys, some things Su Xiao didn't need to make clear, such as the content of this transaction.

Su Xiao slaughtered the old monster in the deep world, which meant he solved the Vadi family incident. This matter was undeniable, and no one dared to deny it.

What good did this do for Su Xiao? Fame? He could stay in this world for a month, which was already long. With his current status as the vice-dean of the Treatment Institute, fame had no meaning to him.

In other words, the great merit of solving the Vadi family incident had no actual benefits for Su Xiao later. The resources obtained during the period were the real benefits.

Under such a premise, why still say that he solved the Vadi family incident? Selling the name of solving this matter to the Duke and Madam Yan, and claiming to the outside world that they solved this incident, was a win-win choice.

"Make an offer. I want ancient gold coins; soul coins are even better."

Hearing this, the Duke said, "I'll offer 20,000 ancient gold coins."

The Duke had spent his blood capital. This time, the "Angry Hammer Organization" under his command remained the most complete. If he took this credit, he would become the final winner along with Su Xiao.

The price of 20,000 ancient gold coins was hard to refuse. Su Xiao estimated that the eight-star title that hadn't been revealed in the title shop, even if expensive, wouldn't reach an extremely outrageous level. With these 20,000 ancient gold coins, perhaps he could really take down that title.

Considering the Duke defaulted on his debt last time, and it was only after he was tricked to the Treatment Institute courtyard and surrounded that the debt was paid, Su Xiao was skeptical about whether the other party could really come up with 20,000 ancient gold coins.

"I'll offer 5,000, plus a secret. You won't refuse this secret."

Madam Yan also made an offer.

"Deal."

Su Xiao agreed without hesitation. The Duke's 20,000 would require blocking the door every day to ask for it, and the money wouldn't be seen at all. On Madam Yan's side, she paid 5,000 ancient gold coins on the spot, plus a secret.

Most importantly, for Su Xiao, this was a free ride. If neither of them bought this credit, after this credit fell on him, it would be equal to no profit. Getting 5,000 ancient gold coins for free was no different from picking up money.

Madam Yan seemed stunned for a moment, then looked at the Duke with a smile. Although she was smiling without speaking, the mockery was full.

Before long, Madam Yan's subordinates sent a large box, which was placed on the ground with a clatter. After opening it, it was full of dark golden ancient gold coins.

Seeing this scene, the Duke looked at Su Xiao and said, "I didn't expect our cooperation this time to be so short. Perhaps by tomorrow morning, we will be enemies."

After the Duke left these thought-provoking words, he left with his people.

The Duke's words seemed to be said to Su Xiao, but in reality, they were also a stance toward Great Sage Turz.

Although the Vadi family incident was handled, this matter was just a beginning. Right now, the major forces in High Wall City were divided into two camps.

1. The Conservative camp, represented by Great Sage Turz, opposed the ancient tradition of the "Chosen One" and even more opposed the "Chosen One" stepping into the sealed Dead City.

2. The Chosen One camp. This lineup naturally didn't need to be said much. Deep into the dead silence, thoroughly solve the problem. At least Su Xiao had to end the cause and effect with the dead silence.

Whether to stick to the current situation or open the door to the dead silence, the views of the two sides appeared to have irreconcilable differences.

The representative of the Conservative camp was, of course, the Dean of the Stigmata Academy, Great Sage Turz. Any subsequent additions to the Conservative camp could basically be defaulted to joining his side.

Right now, the Duke's words represented that he chose to stand on the Conservative side. But no matter how one looked at it, the Duke wasn't the Conservative style. Su Xiao estimated that it was that old guy who founded the Steam God Sect and symbolized Steel who made the choice between the Conservative camp and the Chosen One camp.

The Duke's stance was undoubtedly very bad news. This meant that starting tomorrow morning, his side and the Steam God Sect would again become hostile. The good news was that Su Xiao had long since guarded against this point and reserved the filial son, Krank.

Madam Yan looked at the time, covered her mouth and yawned, then said, "It's getting late. Shall we talk in your office?"

"..."

Su Xiao looked Madam Yan up and down, making Madam Yan frown. She said, "I know I have mature charm, but you don't have to look at me like that. And you forgot, I'm not interested in the opposite sex."

"Is your head full of water? Standing on my side in this situation."

Su Xiao said this on purpose. His words almost made Madam Yan punch him directly. The corners of her eyes twitched. After frantically comforting herself in her heart, she calmed down and said, "Of course... not. This is the meaning of that old immortal in our council. If it weren't for his old man's words, I..."

Madam Yan still couldn't help but want to punch Su Xiao. She took out a black lady's cigarette, lit it to calm down, and barely suppressed this stuffy anger.

"Xiusi."

Su Xiao let Xiusi open the space ghost door, and the group walked into it. Just as the spatial fluctuation started, he felt someone poke his shoulder from behind. They were all people of the same level and status. Madam Yan didn't put on any airs at all. It could only be said that Madam Yan's temper of returning every grievance was actually quite reassuring. At least he didn't have to guard against the pits the other party dug like when cooperating with the Duke.

A moment later, Treatment Institute, vice-dean's office.

Su Xiao and Madam Yan sat opposite each other across the desk, with Lisi responsible for serving tea and water on the side.

"First, tell me the secret you know."

Su Xiao spoke. In the previous transaction, apart from 5,000 ancient gold coins, there was also a secret as a bonus.

"I know a meditation method. You sword users often meditate. You definitely won't miss this method."

Madam Yan leaned comfortably on the leather chair, her whole body's smoke dress burning slowly like black flames.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Su Xiao had always been more interested in meditation methods.

"This secret method doesn't change the way you meditate, but uses soul power to boost the efficiency of your meditation. The stronger your soul, the higher the efficiency of your meditation."

Hearing Madam Yan's words, Su Xiao's expression became more solemn. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand and asked, "More specifically."

"I don't know more specifically. This method is only known to the Beast Master of the Badlands outside the wall, so you can only go to it for advice."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Madam Yan calmly. The situation at this time was like someone suddenly coming to find you, saying, "I know a place with a lot of gold." After you inquire, that person says with a straight face: 'In the vault, there must be a lot of gold.'

Su Xiao rubbed his eyebrows lightly and said, "This is the secret you know."

"Yeah, just say whether others know about this matter or not. If others don't know, isn't it a secret? Is there a problem?"

Madam Yan raised her hand, then extinguished the cigarette in her hand.

"Ah, this~"

Baha on the side was stunned. It had a belly full of sassy words brewing, but had nothing to say.

Confirming that Madam Yan didn't know anything else, Su Xiao felt slightly disappointed in his heart and said, "This secret of yours really fits your temperament."

"You!"

Madam Yan wanted to punch Su Xiao again. Then, she laughed herself. Looking at it now, after she chose to stand on this side, she wouldn't be easily calculated. Confirming this, she felt much more relaxed in her heart. She didn't want to be used as a gun after standing on Su Xiao's side.

"Let's talk about business. According to that old immortal on my side, as the Chosen One, the first thing you need to do is go to the entrance of the Dead City, and then open the door to enter the Dead City..."

Madam Yan began to narrate the details of the matter. First, many years ago, the entrance to the Dead City was sealed, and the method to open it was only known to the Holy Maiden lineage.

According to Su Xiao's past style of doing things, he would go to "visit" the current Holy Maiden tonight, and then "invite" her to discuss in detail.

The problem was that the Holy Maiden lineage was the descendant of the Holy Priest. Going to grab her at such a juncture would make no force's face look good, which would lead to the outbreak of a chaotic battle. This was instead what the Stigmata Academy wanted to see. They would use this opportunity to completely suppress the matter of the Chosen One going to the Dead City.

The current Holy Maiden was very peculiar. This mature lady, 32 years old this year, had been divorced three times. No need to be surprised; the Holy Maiden of High Wall City was of course allowed to marry, otherwise, it would be impossible to pass it down generation after generation.

When the Holy Maiden married, her title changed from Holy Maiden to God Maiden, until she gave birth to a daughter, and her daughter reached adulthood, would she then re-inherit the title of Holy Maiden.

The current God Maiden's promiscuity was famous in the city. Even so, there were still many pursuers.

Mentioning this peculiar current God Maiden, Madam Yan said with a smile, "Bai Ye, why don't you sacrifice your looks and bring her back."

Madam Yan was of course joking. She was certain that the God Maiden wouldn't and wouldn't dare to take a fancy to the man opposite, because even with her strength, when sitting opposite this man, she had to subconsciously use her aura to block the drifting blood energy.

If the current God Maiden saw Su Xiao and was within the range of his unconscious blood energy spread, as an ordinary person, the God Maiden would be considered courageous if she could speak clearly.

"Hook the God Maiden over?"

Su Xiao felt this plan was good. He himself of course couldn't; he had self-knowledge about his own blood energy, but he had subordinates, for example...

Su Xiao tilted his head to look. Old Chaman, who was sitting on the chair by the door, said urgently, "I'm not going! I love my wife very much."

"Pfft~ cough cough~"

Madam Yan, who was choked by tea, looked at Old Chaman in surprise, feeling sincerely in her heart that the Treatment Institute was truly full of talents, and, brother, you are 70 this year, right?

"Didn't say you, with the wrinkles on your old face, a mosquito could be pinched to death if it landed. Xiusi, this matter~ you see."

Baha spoke with a bad smile. Although Xiusi couldn't speak, he could definitely shoulder this heavy responsibility, and Xiusi, as a transcendent who could join the Treatment Institute, naturally had a different aura.

Xiusi's face turned red and he shook his head, meaning he couldn't do it, he hadn't done such a thing.

Su Xiao pulled open the drawer and took out a stack of pounds from it, still 10,000 pounds of brand-new banknotes that hadn't been unwrapped.

Xiusi looked up. His eyes went straight. Seeing this, Su Xiao took out two more stacks and placed them on the table. Seeing this scene, Xiusi wrote on his small notebook:

"Sir, I will definitely do it!"

Seeing this, Baha said, "Hey~, no, Xiusi, you are pure and clean, how can you go to seduce?"

Hearing this, Xiusi shrank his head and wrote on his small notebook a bit embarrassedly: "Not really, I secretly went to the Pleasure Workshop... a few times, really only a few times."

"No wonder your space ghost door last time opened next to the Pleasure Workshop. So you had long since experienced the exciting programs. Rest assured, this time you just need to have a meal with the other party."

Baha spoke with a smile. Xiusi nodded and came to the desk a bit hesitantly, meaning, did these 30,000 pounds belong to him?

Su Xiao took out another 10,000 pounds and said, "After this matter, you need to hide for a period of time."

Su Xiao's plan was to let Xiusi contact the current God Maiden, not even needing to flirt or anything. As long as they had lunch or dinner together once or twice, the matter would be done.

After that, directly make a move to tie up the God Maiden. Right now, if any problem happened to the God Maiden, Su Xiao's side would definitely be the first suspect.

This didn't matter. At that time, just claim to the outside world that the God Maiden and Xiusi eloped. Come to Su Xiao to ask for the God Maiden? Su Xiao would order people to slaughter one for every one that came. His capable subordinate Xiusi was abducted by the God Maiden; why come to him to ask for people? He hadn't gone to the Holy Maiden lineage to ask for people, which was already out of consideration for feelings. Still dare to come to him to ask for people?

After hearing this plan, Madam Yan opposite the desk felt terrible. She asked, "Before this, were you always calculating me?"

"Occasionally."

"Occasionally..."

Madam Yan savored these two words carefully. A moment later, she changed the subject and said, "Even if you already have a way to deal with the current God Maiden, there is still a problem. The Holy Maiden lineage doesn't know where the entrance to the Dead City is; only those in the Academic Faction know.

That old immortal in our council said that the entrance, the opening method, and the key are kept by the Healing Church's Academic Faction, the Holy Maiden lineage, and the Treatment Institute respectively. You lost the key before, and now you've found it back, so you and the Academic Faction are already at the same starting line."

After hearing these words, Su Xiao fell into deep thought. The matter was a bit troublesome. Only the Academic Faction knew where the entrance to the Dead City was; that side had occupied all the first opportunities.

At the same time, South District, Stigmata Academy.

The lights in the library were bright. Great Sage Turz sat by a small round table, reading a huge book nearly half a meter thick. This serious old man with a hooked nose had always felt that his knowledge reserve was not enough.

"Have you considered clearly? You can't deal with the Law-Extinguisher, but with us entering, the situation will be different."

A woman wearing a mask and a black tight-fitting suit spoke.

"You? Who are you again?"

Great Sage Turz closed the book and looked at the visitor.

"We are the Arcane Eternal Star."

The Crow Woman took off the mask on her face. Almost at the same time, spellcasters appeared in the library, as many as over a hundred. These people probably never dreamed that they, who had few rivals of the same tier in the void, would become scraping technicians after coming here.
