Chapter 139: Development Goal: Five‑Ring Tower!

Several of Lamor's creators held the line at Lamor, severely wounding a number of Dark Sun Church bishops.

The Ash Tide's assault was delayed.

It secured a large amount of Demon King sequence traits for Saintland.

It also destroyed the Demon King Seal Land, leaving no resources for the Dark Sun Church.

Moreover, Lamor's Defiler Ta Ke, by desecrating the divine, severely wounded the Dark Sun Holy Son Wendell Francis.

This hindered that evil god's holy son's development.

Lamor's merits are fully engraved on Saintland's Eternal Pillar.

And… what have the great Transcendents of your Black River Valley done?

Do you know?

Enforcer Luolia Kaiji's gaze, like a blade of judgment, gradually examined those Transcendents of Black River Valley.

They secretly sold Black River Valley, fled to the Transcendent Ocean, and perhaps even defected to the hostile forces of our Sairion's Duchy.

This is a treason etched on the Pillar of Shame, unforgivable!

According to our Enforcer Department's statutes, all Transcendents of Black River Valley must be sentenced to severe punishment.

Being allowed to enter Saintland is already the Tower Council's greatest mercy.

Now, do you still think the privileges granted to Saintland's Transcendents are problematic?

Numerous Transcendents of Black River Valley bowed their heads, looking sullen and dusty.

None dared to contradict.

After all!

They themselves fled from Black River Valley.

They almost perished at the hands of the Dark Sun Church, which dealt with Black River Valley's higher‑ups.

Before long, the recorder beside them had completed all of Ta Ke's information.

Enforcer Luolia Kaiji scanned Ta Ke with her gaze before taking the female recorder's magical book.

She then explained to Ta Ke in a very formal, official tone.

Survivor of Lamor, Andrei Lamor, I will question you with the Enforcer's True Word to verify your information.

At that moment, Ta Ke's eye twitched slightly.

Wouldn't a standard twenty‑to‑thirty‑level Security Officer's True Word interrogation suffice?

The one behind insists on meddling.

The one before you now is a Level‑44 Enforcer.

Not only is the sequence strength higher, but the rank far exceeds that of a Security Officer.

Moreover, she herself carries a few of Saintland's transcendent traits such as 【Law】 and 【Judgment】.

In contrast to Lamor's ecological trait 【Protection】, the Dungeon World's 【Hunting】 trait.

Saintland's transcendent ecology is more complex, with more and stronger transcendent traits.

The 【Law】 and 【Judgment】 traits that Ta Ke currently perceives are far from weak.

Is your name… Andrei Lamor!

The power of the True Word intimidates Ta Ke's soul, forcing him to speak the truth.

As Ta Ke feels this wondrous power, he silently "corrects" the content he intends to say.

Yes! My name is Andrei Lamor.

Ta Ke nods.

Precision·Correction!

It can be used not only to discern the world's threads.

Above the clash of these transcendent forces.

Ta Ke's transcendent talent will work even better.

Although Ta Ke can use Precision to evade the opponent's interrogation, Steam·Primordial Static can nullify the interrogation's effect.

But "Correction" will give the opponent a satisfactory result.

As expected.

The Enforcer Luolia Kaiji felt no abnormality.

She continued her questioning.

The result, naturally, was extremely satisfactory to her.

Undoubtedly, he is an "honest" youth from Lamor.

As the steam alchemy apparatus beside them operated,

an identity card was completed.

It is metal, contains a small amount of transcendent traits, and has faint circuitry linking to a nearby Transcendent Lighthouse.

If carried, this item itself will serve as surveillance.

Ta Ke calmly examined everything.

Welcome, survivor of Lamor.

Hope you understand, after all… during the last Gray Night Phase, Black River Valley's activity was considerable.

Saintland must be more cautious; that is the responsible stance for everyone.

After the interrogation ended, Enforcer Luolia Kaiji's face showed a faint smile.

Indeed, the activity over there was great, Ta Ke nodded.

Do you need any assistance? My subordinates can efficiently help you become familiar with Saintland.

"Well…… no need." Ta Ke waved his hand.

I don't have much money to pay for your services.

This is free; we sheriffs have always warmly welcomed superhumans from La Moer.

If you don't need it, we won't force you.

After a brief small talk, Ta Ke walked toward the not-so-distant steam train platform.

Although Ta Ke now had formal Sheng Lande identity, he could directly take the magic gate.

But as a newcomer, Ta Ke needed more time to familiarize himself and get to know Sheng Lande.

Rather than plunging in headfirst, clueless.

While waiting for the next steam train.

Ta Ke entered his identity certificate via normal source-energy permeation, feeling the information inside.

A large amount of basic information about La Moer and Sheng Lande poured in.

"Just as Ba Jinshi said, superhumans from La Moer are indeed quite well-treated in Sheng Lande."

"Sheng Lande officials specially opened a Treeheart District for La Moer students and residents who came over."

"Inside, it also specially marked the gathering place for La Moer superhumans."

"I can also get some food there, and they might even assign me work."

"If I have no place to stay, there will also be a dedicated shelter there where I can eat my fill and sleep well."

"Quite good."

Ta Ke nodded slightly, but after thinking carefully about La Moer's contribution.

Ta Ke also couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

During those days of the final confrontation, Ta Ke clearly saw.

Even though they were contaminated, a large number of La Moer superhumans still held their ground.

This is also what La Moer superhumans deserve.

Should we go over?

As soon as that thought arose, Ta Ke pressed it down.

Ta Ke understood.

Now, it is clearly not the time for me to contact La Moer superhumans or Xiluoer.

That side will surely be covertly infiltrated and probed by many members of the Dim Sun Church.

At least! I must wait until I advance to the third stage, absorb and digest the second steam core, after which my strength within Sheng Lande will be sufficient for self-defense.

Only then can I contact Xiluoer.

Otherwise, if I go there now, I will only bring disaster to those people.

With the crowd, Ta Ke boarded the steam bus heading deep into the Treeheart District.

The steam bus's source-energy steam engine can draw in source energy while generating power, propelling the steam bus forward.

The rich source-energy environment supports the operation of the steam trains here.

Elsewhere, maintaining a source-energy scale as large as a city-state is difficult.

But the Sheng Lande city-state itself lies within the Lava Furnace Heart Tree Stump.

For the Lava Furnace Heart Tree Stump, maintaining its internal source-energy concentration is its instinct, requiring no one to maintain it.

This also creates Sheng Lande's extraordinary superhuman ecological environment.

And Ta Ke sat in the seat by the window.

Quietly observing Sheng Lande.

The Lava Furnace Heart Tree Stump's "Core Fire Path" presents a networked interweave in the Treeheart District.

It provides ample lighting for the internal space world.

Ta Ke could also see large numbers of fire sprites nesting within the Core Fire Path.

No matter how the outside world is.

Sheng Lande's Treeheart City is forever a sleepless city.

The marvels of the superhuman world, its many extraordinary traits, are fully displayed within Sheng Lande's Treeheart City.

Ta Ke also delicately felt the magnificent vastness of the superhuman world.

Half an hour later, Ta Ke's target stop arrived.

Here, it is the commercial district near the residential area where La Moer superhumans gather—the Soulfire Rock District.

At the same time, this is also one of the areas recommended to Ta Ke when he and Ba Jinshi discussed.

If we say, what place in Sheng Lande is most suitable for Ta Ke's Steady Development System to develop?

Without a doubt, it is the Five-Ring Steam Tower at Sheng Lande's highest point, standing five hundred meters tall and possessing five steam rings.

Ta Ke chose this as his first station and trial point.

The reason is that, following the Core Fire Path upward from here, one can directly reach the fire of the furnace in Sheng Lande's core super-steam furnace tower.

In other words, Ta Ke only needs to follow the fire's context here.

Then he can touch Sheng Lande's largest Steam Super Fantasia Tower.

Thus he can anchor that big guy and steadily launch his development path here.

Even……

If possible, Ta Ke even wants to choose to rent or purchase a house near the Core Fire Path.

That way, Ta Ke can, when idle, follow these fire currents to touch those towers, and when idle, steal a wave of development.

Ta Ke learned from Ba Jinshi that many towers' steam furnaces draw fire from the Lava Furnace Heart Tree Stump.

As long as Ta Ke does not specifically pluck the wool of a high tower, even the supernatural beings who control the high tower will have difficulty detecting any abnormality.
