Chapter 327

Five admission witnesses.

Two succubi, three humanoid Elves.

The female demons are naturally Lixia and Grace; among the humanoid elves there are two males and one female, two of whom are gentle toward Luosen, but the male mage who possesses seven-ring power has a dark, stern face, making Luosen feel as if he will be attacked any moment.

Through Grace's introduction, Luosen learned that this male elf was Lixia's husband Rex, and that he already knew his wife had responded to Luosen's wild summons.

The good news is that he is very rational, clearly aware of the importance of the Harvest Master, and also somewhat fearful of his wife, so he continually suppresses his anger.

Luosen could only silently apologize to himself, after all he hadn't known about this beforehand.

To make amends a little, after he finished reciting the alliance oath upon joining, he took out six soul-nourishing fruits from his pack, giving one to each of the five witnesses present, and additionally gave Rex two more.

"Mr. Rex, I apologize to you, and I also promise you that I will prioritize crafting healing fruits for you in the future."

Rex certainly knew how precious healing fruits were; seeing Luosen's sincere apology, his anger eased a bit, and he said sternly, "Responding to the wild summons is not a sin; what I'm angry about is not the response itself, but the roughness of your behavior."

"But no matter what, considering your sincere apology, I'll consider this matter settled—bah, there won't be a next time!"

This minor grudge is now considered settled.

The soul-nourishing fruits Luosen distributed were, as always, of high quality, surprising the other four witnesses greatly, who felt that Lixia had recruited a great treasure for the Wild Hare Society.

Thus, when Lixia announced she would take Luosen to see Harvest Master Elina, she obtained everyone's unanimous consent.

Rex dared not leave his wife and Luosen alone, volunteering, "Dear, you must be exhausted; why not rest first while I take Luode to see Master Elina."

Lixia naturally knew her husband's thoughts, felt a bit guilty toward him, so she agreed, but she was still uneasy and warned, "Rex, my husband, Luode is very important to the Wild Hare Society; I hope you can control your emotions."

Rex nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, I won't lose my reason over this."

"Luode, come with me."

Luosen wasn't worried at all about Rex picking a fight; the Mind-Reading Art told him that Rex had some request of him.

He immediately nodded and followed up, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Rex."

The two then proceeded along a slightly secluded passageway, one after the other, going deeper underground.

After walking for a while, only Luosen and Rex remained in the passageway.

Rex spoke up first: "Master Elina is very important to the Wild Hare Society; her temperament is somewhat reclusive, so her dwelling is in the deepest part underground, and we'll need to walk for about half an hour more."

"Understood."

Through soul fluctuations, Luosen sensed that Rex seemed to want to say something to him.

He patiently waited.

Rex remained silent for a while, several times wanting to speak but swallowing his words at the last moment.

Luosen felt that Rex must be weary, saying, "Brother Rex, there's no one else here; speak freely if you have something to say."

Rex took a deep breath, finally spoke, but used a secret mental communication.

"In my impression, Harvest Masters are usually physically frail; not to mention female demons, even ordinary elves would find it hard to cope."

"I want to ask, have you cultivated a unique fruit that strengthens the body and can enhance the ability to respond to the wild summons?"

Luosen instantly understood the elf mage's situation, and inwardly smirked, "No, it's just my talent."

Rex's face immediately fell with disappointment.

Seeing Rex like that, Luosen thought, "Mr. Rex, there is no fruit that specifically boosts ability, but there are fruits that strengthen the body."

He pulled out a date-sized red-skinned fruit from his pack: "Resilient Fruit, it can permanently increase bodily strength, and thus indirectly enhance wild abilities."

Seeing Rex's eyes light up and reach out to take it, Luosen withdrew his hand: "Don't rush, I have a condition."

"Speak."

"I've just joined the Wild Hare Society and am not familiar with its internal situation; please give me a detailed introduction. The more detailed you are, the richer my reward will be."

Saying this, Luosen took out five resilient fruits from his pack: "Eating these five, your physique should be comparable to that of a dragon clan."

Luosen's request was very reasonable, and Rex readily agreed: "No problem."

Luosen first gave one fruit: "This is the deposit."

Rex immediately took it, ate it in one bite, and instantly felt as if a fire ignited inside his body, with a force continually surging from his abdomen into his limbs.

He shivered, obviously feeling much more invigorated, his whole body filled with power.

He was very satisfied with the effect and immediately began to explain the Wild Hare Society's situation in detail.

Luosen listened attentively; after about twenty minutes, he frowned slightly: "It sounds like the Wild Hare Society's organization is very loose, with members tending to evade rather than resist."

Rex spread his hands helplessly: "Although I don't want to admit it, this is indeed the case."

"After all, the gods are truly too powerful, hidden deep in the void; with our mortal abilities we simply cannot oppose them."

This is indeed the case.

De Rui Tan is already very powerful, and now a scarlet maiden has arrived; the elves' personalities are generally soft, far lacking the fervor and resilience of the Nawat people, making any hope of opposing them even slimmer.

Luosen handed over the second resilient fruit, which Rex immediately ate, then continued: "Precisely because there is no hope of victory, the Wild Hare Society has no true leader in the meaningful sense."

"There are members of the Wild Hare Society among the imperial elite who occasionally leak some information to us, helping us evade the Void Sovereign's pursuit, but that's all."

"Speaking of which, Master Elina can also be considered a leader of the Wild Hare Society, but she is reclusive and weak; although she is greatly dissatisfied with the Sovereign's tyranny, her concrete actions are few and basically have no practical effect."

Saying this, Rex couldn't help but sigh, his face showing dejection.

Luosen then handed over the third resilient fruit; Rex took and ate it, and his despondent mood improved considerably.

"However, the Wild Hare Society is not without hope." "To stay farther from the Void Sovereign's control, we have been digging deeper underground, and in the process we have sensed an extremely magnificent will existing deep within the earth."

"The deeper we dig, the clearer the sensation becomes."

Luosen's heart stirred: "This magnificent will—is it more magnificent than the gods?"

Rex nodded, his face showing an expression of anticipation mixed with unease.

"More magnificent than De Rui Tan, far more so; I have personally felt this great will, and I think it can even rival the legendary great god."

"Because of this, the society has split into two factions. Some suggest aligning with this great being to gain its protection; others worry that this great being might be even more cruel than the Void Sovereign."

Luosen immediately asked, "Does this great being have a name?"

This matter truly exceeded his expectations, because it is basically impossible for a Void God to appear deep underground.

But now another existence comparable to a great god has appeared, leaving Luosen quite puzzled.

"What on earth is it?"

Luosen was very curious, and also deeply felt that his understanding of the world seemed not as comprehensive as he had imagined.

At this moment, Lei Ke Si's voice came: 'He has a name; he calls himself Pioneer Di Lai Ke Si.'

After a pause, this Elves mage then voiced his impression.

"This great being's will is immensely magnificent, yet it exudes an inhuman indifference. Precisely because of this, we find it hard to make the final decision to pledge allegiance."

Hearing this, Luosen felt that the Elves of the Wild Hare Society were truly as feeble and pitiful as rabbits.

As for the so-called Pioneer Di Lai Ke Si, his curiosity only grew.

He handed over the two remaining tough fruits: 'Any more?'

Lei Ke Si directly swallowed the tough fruit, then shook his head: 'No more, oh wait, there's still something.'

"Master Yi Li Na likes to live deep underground precisely to converse more conveniently with this great being."

"This master often converses with the great being, hoping to gain more knowledge and great power from him. Unfortunately, this great being seems quite stingy; no matter how we plead, he is unwilling to bestow power."

"Of course, he has never harmed us either, which is probably the only comforting point."

Lei Ke Si sighed: 'To be honest, I am very anxious about our future fate; I don't know where the Wild Hare Society, or even the Elves, are headed. Ah~~~'

He let out a long sigh.

Luosen fully understood his feelings; far from being disappointed, he actually felt quite pleased.

The Wild Hare Society desperately needs a strong master, and he happens to have that ability.

Now only one problem remains: to clarify the situation of Pioneer Di Lai Ke Si.

The two walked another stretch, eventually reaching the entrance of an underground secret chamber, where the entrance was overgrown with spiky roots, and together with a magical barrier it sealed the entrance tightly.

But whether the roots or the barrier, their strength was only nine rings, naturally unable to block Luosen's perception.

Through the barrier he 'looked' into the chamber and saw an Elves woman in splendid robes kneeling at the center, hands clasped before her chest in a prayer pose, continuously speaking, as if communicating with some mysterious entity.

After observing the woman closely, Luosen thought to himself: 'She's a high-ranking Elves, truly not bad-looking; no wonder Duola values her.'

Because of De Rui Tan's influence, the high-ranking Elves also have a perfectionist obsession; thus the higher the rank of the Elves, the more exquisite their appearance.

This beauty is not uniform, but a myriad of blossoms vying for splendor.

Getting back to the point.

Luosen watched patiently for two or three minutes, finding that basically only the woman was speaking, with no sign of any 'magnificent will' appearing.

"The Pioneer's responses aren't frequent, right?" he asked Lei Ke Si.

"Yes, once or twice a day, or even once every two or three days, almost without pattern."

"Understood, Mr. Lei Ke Si, thank you very much for bringing me here. Since Master Yi Li Na is busy, I'll wait for her at the entrance."

Lei Ke Si nodded: 'Then I'll be off.'

After walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned and said: 'Luo De, I can tell you are certainly no ordinary person; you possess a resilience that most Elves lack.'

"You will surely achieve great things in the future."

"I can also see that my wife Li Xia likes you. I hope that when she responds to your wild summons, you will definitely treat her gently."

By the end, he was practically pleading.

Luosen felt that the Elves' obedience to the strong was truly etched deep into their bloodline, impossible to change.

This is, of course, the result of De Rui Tan's careful remodeling.

"De Rui Tan, you've really trained a fine dog!"

"Now this fine dog is mine."

Thinking this in his mind, yet on the surface he nodded seriously: 'If there is a next time, I will pay attention.'

"Thank you very much."

Lei Ke Si performed a solemn salute to Luosen, then turned and left.

Luosen then sat at the entrance, waiting patiently.

He was not waiting for Master Yi Li Na to finish her prayer, but for the appearance of the 'magnificent will'.

"I really want to see what this Pioneer actually is."
