Chapter 1494

~7 min read 1,289 words

It's coming, it's coming. Anthony's heart stirred, and he looked the Star Migrator up and down.

There are many questions about the Star Migrator. Anthony had only scratched the surface in the previous conversation and didn't delve into it, because the timing wasn't right, fearing it would arouse his vigilance.

Probing is very much about timing. If someone is anxious and about to go to the bathroom, and you go to probe, besides getting beaten, what else can you get? If you are not familiar with someone, and you go to probe, besides making the other party vigilant, you certainly won't be able to ask anything.

Only when the other party has the desire to confide, or has a request of you, is probing most likely to succeed.

Now the Star Migrator has a request, so his desire to talk will rise exponentially, and asking sensitive questions won't make him vigilant anymore.

Anthony asked: "What do you have to clear? Are you injured?"

This 'are you injured' was to induce him to say the origin of the things that needed to be cleared. Whether it was injury or other reasons, it could become the lead for Anthony's next question.

"No, no, no, not injured, but a kind of... um... a kind of..." The Star Migrator stammered and didn't say what it was for a long time.

Anthony asked tentatively: "A kind of seal? A kind of mark? A kind of pollution?"

When he said 'a kind of pollution', the Star Migrator nodded immediately.

Anthony looked at him like this and asked somewhat confusedly: "You can't say it actively? Do you have restrictions?"

The Star Migrator nodded immediately.

Anthony also nodded to show he understood. It was actually restricted from actively revealing secrets. This is not a strange thing. From loyalty oaths to demon contracts, there are too many ways to restrict active disclosure.

However, no matter how many restrictions there are, there are not as many ways to find loopholes. Restricting disclosure is one thing, but what if it's something someone guessed themselves? That doesn't count as disclosure, right?

No matter how tight a contract is, it cannot avoid finding loopholes. Therefore, demon contracts are often extremely complex, but they are also full of loopholes everywhere, whether it is to prevent others from finding loopholes or to find loopholes, demons are first-class.

Anthony is naturally also first-class. He actually guessed that the other party had restrictions and pollution so quickly. Does he need Ang's help to clear the pollution, or help him lift the restrictions?

The Star Migrator shook his head: "As long as those things are cleared, these things will naturally have no meaning."

Those things? These things? It seems he just can't mention the two keywords 'pollution' and 'restriction'. Anthony immediately thought of those Starborn and the Guman Snake.

The Guman Snake also placed keyword restrictions on those Starborn. As long as its name is spoken, it will immediately collapse.

The one on the Star Migrator is clearly similar, but it only restricts him from speaking actively; he won't trigger it if he hears it passively.

Thinking about it, it's normal. 'Pollution' and 'restriction' are originally very common words. If hearing them passively also triggered the restrictions, he would have triggered them long ago.

But the Guman Snake is a unique name. If you have never heard it, you can't say it, so it is restricted even if heard passively.

Realizing it was just keywords, Anthony avoided them and said: "Who poured the dirty stuff?"

"Ah? Dirty... oh, it's the Lord of the Branch." The Star Migrator was stunned for a moment before reacting. Dirty stuff refers to the pollution source, and he hurriedly said.

Anthony thought for a moment and asked: "You staying here, putting on a hard shell and hiding, is it to avoid the Lord of the Branch?"

The Star Migrator nodded: "Yes, this is a place his intent cannot reach. As long as I stay here, I won't be controlled by him. Only these dirty things on me will threaten me, but as long as I don't actively say those words, it won't be triggered."

Anthony asked curiously: "Then why do you want to clear it? Anyway, the Lord of the Branch's intent cannot reach here. If you don't touch it actively, won't it be fine?"

The Star Migrator smiled bitterly: "Didn't you hear what those Dark Stars said? They said two terrifying guys came from the outside, and now many Divine Stars want to come in here for refuge. What if he comes in here, senses his power, and doesn't that find me?"

"Secondly, what if the Lord of the Branch is also killed by those two terrifying existences, and his imprint falls into the hands of other Divine Stars, and those Divine Stars hide in here and discover me? Then wouldn't I be even more miserable? It would be better for the Lord of the Branch to escape in," the Star Migrator said.

Anthony nodded. Indeed, if it were Pope Guliani ordering him, he would grit his teeth and accept it. But if it were a small priest holding a papal decree to order him, he would send the other party to the stake.

"Does your branch have a name?" Anthony asked.

"No," the Star Migrator said.

"Then let's call it the Star Migrator River Branch, or Star Migrator Branch. You need to give me some dirty stuff, so my lord can try whether he can clear it. Do you have it with you now?" Anthony asked.

"No, but..." The Star Migrator reached out and grabbed. A mass of Starflame immediately condensed in his palm, then swelled into a translucent sphere. Immediately after, in the center of the sphere, a mass of somewhat dim Starflame slowly condensed, tightly wrapped by the translucent sphere.

Grabbing it now? Anthony frowned and asked in confusion: "Can't you distinguish it? Can't you clear it yourself?"

The Star Migrator said: "Do you know how long it took me to distinguish this point? Several months, and it's useless. As long as it senses the total amount is less, it will quickly replenish it. That thing is more like restricting them; otherwise, it would have turned me all into it long ago."

"So powerful? Can turn you all into it? You are a Divine Star, after all," Anthony said in shock.

The Star Migrator nodded and handed the thing to Anthony.

Anthony didn't dare to take it and hurriedly shook his head: "If it can turn you all into it, then I won't let it approach the Divine Star. You stay further away, and I'll ask my lord to come over."

After saying this, he called Ang in the soul network: "My lord, please come over and take a look."

Ang moved his soul and came to Anthony's side, looking at the Star Migrator, and finally his gaze fell on his hand.

Anthony introduced the situation in a low voice. Hearing that this dirty stuff on the Star Migrator's hand could pollute the entire Divine Star, Ang immediately used his divine sense and swept it directly over it.

It was also Starflame, no different from ordinary Starflame. Ang tilted his head and looked at Anthony.

Anthony suddenly had a headache. He is not Negris and couldn't understand Ang's body language. He had to hurriedly call Negris over to save his life.

Negris projected over and translated: "Nothing special, where is it special?"

The Star Migrator said: "It can turn mine into its, and maintain a constant total amount. Can you clear it?"

Ang looked left and right, suddenly reached out and flipped, taking out a Holy Shroud, wrapped it around the translucent sphere, and said: "Need to study."
