Evileye's Decision, the Second Prince's Startling Realization

In a very short period of time.

All the farmed Goblin in the entire forest were wiped out.

[Experience Bar: 7.88 million/1.88 million]

Fireball

Tang Zheng chanted softly, Fireball the size of a basketball quickly condensed and flew towards the corpse of the Demon Snake of the West. The intense heat ignited it, and it turned into a pile of ash in a moment.

A gentle breeze blew by.

The gray residue was swirled up and dissipated in mid-air.

"That should prevent any unexpected problems."

Looking at the spot where the ash had dissipated, Tang Zheng shook his head slightly.

The continuous cycle of "resurrection and death" has rendered Demon Snake of the West unable to continue using Resurrection Magic. Actually, the time spent cooperating with Demon Snake of the West was quite good.

Unfortunately, the other party knew some of his information.

[Skill Points: 136 → 127]

"Translocation Damage", "Silent Magic Casting Conversion", "Ninjutsu: The Unassailable Ninjutsu: Immovable Adamantine Shield", "Greater Ability Boost", "Limit Breaker", "Focus Battle Aura", "Power Enhancement", "Super Power Enhancement", "Smash".

Looking at the newly appeared skills on the Attribute Panel.

Tang Zheng smiled. He had a total of nine skills, including Martial Arts, a defensive Ninjutsu skill, and a Magic Reinforcement technique.

There's also the special Fifth-Tier magic "Translocation Damage".

This is a unique technique that can convert physical damage into magical damage; it is a special magic that does not exist in "YGGDRASIL".

Well, how should I put it?

When mana cannot be replenished, this skill has limited effectiveness, but it can be used to deal with some extreme situations.

"After Evileye with the [Blue Roses] matter, they should return to the Great Forest of Tob."

Tang Zheng whispered:

"Using the form of a dragon alongside Evileye always seems like it would attract attention; my original plan was simply to gather information about the [Sanctuary]."

Having traveled the world with the Thirteen Heroes, it's entirely possible that the person Evileye had heard about the [Sanctuary].

"The Inveria Kingdom" --.

Tang Zheng suddenly felt that exploring this once-destroyed Kingdom might be worthwhile.

His level is currently stuck at 60. The most important thing next, besides [World Item], is...

Besides that, there are professions that acquire the True Dragon Lord system.

Platinum Dragon Lord?

Aside from forcing a direct confrontation, Tang Zheng couldn't think of any other way to compel the opponent to use Wild Magic.

This is one of the few opportunities to witness the True Dragon Lord using [Wild Magic] without revealing oneself.

The only possible solution is to exploit the conflict between the [Corpus of the Abyss] and the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, but the key issue right now is finding someone with the [Corpus of the Abyss].

Tang Zheng subdued Brain with the intention of having him secretly spread rumors that [Zurrernorn] possessed the means to create Legendary Undead, thereby attracting the attention of [Corpus of the Abyss].

But so far, there seems to be no progress.

Tang Zheng lowered his head in thought. If he remembered correctly, in the side story, members of the organization seemed to exist in the destroyed "Inveria Kingdom".

"Very well, this matter is temporarily settled. The Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy will retrieve the potion in a month, which is June 20th."

"The Twin Witches and the Lizardman Crusch Lulu are doing well, Enri's progress in acquiring the Commander class is going smoothly, but to use the 'Rumor' ability, she needs to acquire Advanced Tier Commander class."

Tang Zheng reflected that his plans in various aspects were progressing in an orderly manner, but he still needed time to reap greater rewards.

"Lainas and Imina need further arrangements, and it's time for them to meet the princess as night falls."

The pale moonlight enveloped the Great Forest of Tob, Dragon Fear emanating from Tang Zheng's transformed Crimson Dragon Lord gradually dissipated as time passed.

In the silent depths of the forest, the faint chirping of insects could be heard, and a light haze lingered due to the temperature difference between day and night.

Drifting deep in the jungle.

The stench of blood emanating from the dense clusters of dead Goblin gradually began to attract wild beasts and monsters from the jungle.

Fresh blood oozing from a large amount of green, rotting flesh.

It seeps into the ground.

The blood seemed to be affected by something, flowing down the roots of the underground trees, slowly moving through the soil, and converging in the north.

Faintly.

To the north of the great forest, a faint yet terrifying aura emerged.

The Kingdom Iri Yestije.

"Ye Lantier"

The Golden Shining Pavilion Hotel.

As the city's most Advanced Tier and historically significant first-class inn, the daily cost of a single stay exceeds five silver coins.

This level of inn is no longer a place for ordinary merchants and adventurers to stay.

That night, the [Blue Roses] group, who had retreated from the Great Forest of Tob, were staying at this inn.

With almost everyone injured, Lakyus and his crew immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered "Ye Lantier".

The quest from the Great Forest of Tob was hardly a secret to many adventurers, since there wasn't a single team in the entire city capable of taking it on.

The entire [Blue Roses] group was injured, leading to numerous speculations, with most suspecting that they had been attacked by the Forest Lord.

Inside the room.

Empty medicine bottles, with a few drops of murky blue liquid remaining, were scattered haphazardly on the table, almost filling the entire surface.

As a result, the air in the room had a stronger herbal scent.

Thanks to Healing Potion and magic, the injured Lakyus and his companions have almost fully recovered, except for their slightly pale complexions.

"Everyone."

Guild Master Ainzach, who rushed over, sensed the slightly somber atmosphere in the room and asked with a worried expression:

"Did you really just encounter the Forest Lord?"

Ainzach gazed at the stunning blonde figure, his spine slightly bent.

[Blue Roses] is no ordinary adventurer party; its leader is a high-ranking nobleman in the Kingdom, and also serves as the guild leader of the Adventurer's Guild in a local city.

Ainzach wouldn't put on airs or act authoritative as the chairman in front of the other party.

Lakyus had already removed his armor and was now wearing a sky-blue dress decorated with gold stripes.

Her golden, wavy hair cascaded casually over her shoulders.

"It is indeed not the Wise King of the Forest, the Forest Lord."

Lakyus's emerald green eyes trembled slightly, as if he had remembered something, but his expression quickly returned to calm.

After a slight hesitation, he spoke, "The Adventurer's Guild's suspicions are correct."

"An anomaly has indeed occurred deep within the Great Forest of Tob. This is a serious matter, and we hope the Chairman will prepare accordingly in advance."

Ainzach looked up, his expression serious.

"The three great jungle rulers who once ruled the Great Forest of Tob are dead."

"What!!"

"The remnants of [Zurrernorn] were responsible for killing the three rulers; their specific motives are unknown, but they have been repelled by us."

Lakyus finished speaking, an unnatural look of shame flashed across his pale face.

Ainzach was completely oblivious to this, stunned by the shocking information, his vision blurred and his breathing stopped.

Evileye leaned against the wall and followed suit, saying, "With the three rulers dead, the monsters and beasts in the Great Forest of Tob may go out of control."

"The chairman needs to prepare in advance, especially for villages located on the border near the Great Forest of Tob."

Suppressing his shock, Ainzach took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Thank you all for your hard work."

No wonder they were able to injure the entire powerful [Blue Roses] group. If the enemy is the evil secret society [Zurrernorn] that caused the Undead calamity in the Abelion Hills, then it makes perfect sense.

I'll go and make the preparations right away.

"I will report your achievements. Congratulations in advance on becoming the Kingdom's third ' Adamantite Rank ' adventurer team."

Ainzach gave a slight bow, then quickly turned and left.

Caramel!

The door closed, and the footsteps faded into the distance.

Lakyus suddenly sighed, his tense face turning dejected. "The third ' Adamantite Rank ' adventurer team?"

"This isn't how we initially envisioned advancing to Adamantite Adventurer."

The air fell silent for a brief moment.

"Don't be so discouraged, Captain. It's much better than letting the news of the Dragon Lords's appearance leak out and causing chaos."

Gagaran's strong, muscular body sank into the sofa, a smile playing on his lips.

"Surviving that Dragon Lords is enough to advance to ' Adamantite Rank. If we weren't hiding information about the Dragon Lords, our deeds would be sung by the Bard."

Tina and Tia stood on either side of the sofa, nodding with lingering fear.

"Ha, Demon Leader, you're really not good at lying." Tina tried to lighten her tone.

"Yes, yes, if Evileye up, it would have been easy for the guild master to notice," Tia added.

I overheard the two men stealing.

Lakyus glared at Tia and the other woman with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance, then a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

It's so good that everyone survived!

"Evileye's, information about [Zurrernorn]?"

Lakyus turned to look at the silent Evileye beside him, his emerald green eyes flickering, and softly asked, "Are you sure?"

Evileye: "This information was provided by the Dragon Lords. All three rulers died at the hands of [Zurrernorn]. Their goal is likely to use powerful corpses to repeat the disaster of Abelion Hills."

"Hateful!"

"Those bastards!"

"There are rumors on the black market that [Zurrernorn] possesses the means to create Legendary Undead. I never imagined it was true?"

"Rest assured, the remaining enemies of [Zurrernorn] have already been easily eliminated by some Dragon Lords. Given their arrogance, they would not stoop to lying about such a matter."

Evileye absolute certainty, looking at the worried and conflicted Lakyus, and said again, "The information we gave the guild master, while incomplete, is not false."

"What I'm most worried about is that terrifying Dragon Lords," Lakyus solemnly in a low voice.

Evileye's body stiffened briefly, a complex expression appearing on her face behind the mask, but her tone remained calm. "I can roughly guess the Dragon Lords's true purpose."

"Their interest in human towns is unquestionable; the fact that we survived them is proof of that."

Upon hearing this,

Lakyus, Gagaran, Tina, Tia all looked at Evileye.

They were very eager to know what Evileye and the Dragon Lords had discussed after they left.

As companions, since Evileye, they wouldn't press her for details.

"Team leader, I need to leave for a while," Evileye said suddenly, looking up.

"Can."

Lakyus seemed to have guessed as before, a warm smile spreading across his gentle face.

"Team leader—" Evileye was taken aback.

"We are companions." Lakyus adopted a composed demeanor, elegantly raising his hand and pointing to the group with aristocratic bearing:

"Trusting your companions is only natural."

"Just do what you want, Shorty." Gagaran raised his thick arm and clenched his fist tightly. "I'm still not strong enough. I need to keep training."

"Don't die."

"Heh, with your abilities and with intelligence, you should be able to escape."

Tina and Tia spoke one after the other.

A bright smile suddenly appeared on the innocent face behind your mask, Evileye's.

"Speaking of which, the team leader didn't even use his Innate Talent!"

"Is it because you have no chance of winning, or is the rumored Innate Talent simply not your true power?" Evileye shouted in dissatisfaction.

Gagaran and the others also realized what was happening and looked at Lakyus.

Don't look at me like that.

Lakyus tilted his head, crossing his arms. "Innate Talent, he's a killer among killers; it's a secret."

The room immediately erupted in sounds of arguing and playful banter.

Royal Capital

"Ro-Lente Castle" Royal City.

The second prince Zanac, with his round, chubby face and half-closed eyes, looked at Princess Renner sitting opposite him.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Zanac spoke indifferently, got up from the sofa, turned and walked towards the door, slightly displeased.

"Take care, brother." Princess Renner's gentle voice came from behind.

This added to Zanac's displeasure; he didn't like his sister, perhaps because intelligent people tend to dislike someone even more intelligent.

As an older brother, it's somewhat inappropriate for him to come to his younger sister's room at this time, not because of the gender difference, but because of the difference in their status.

Although his younger sister was highly regarded among the common people, her status in the Royal Family and among the various nobles was actually not high.

However, there are some questions I need to confirm with this younger sister.

Although it's only May and there are still more than two months until July, according to the usual schedule, the Baharuth Empire will inevitably launch another war.

The army assembled by Gazef and Lainas is bound to shine on the battlefield ahead.

He couldn't interfere with Gazef's side.

But Lainas!

He has invested a lot of money, manpower, and resources in the other party.

in addition.

She couldn't underestimate her younger sister either; [Blue Roses] and she had always had a good relationship.

Most importantly, there is the currently prevalent Free Will."

"She had already guessed it."

Zanac walked down the corridor, unconsciously cracking his knuckles, his face somber.

He had just deliberately probed, mentioning the guess that Lainas and the "Free Will" team leader Tang already knew each other, and Renner's surprise was too genuine.

This, in turn, proves that Renner knew about it.

Even though he had done thorough research when he first met Lainas, it took him a full year to realize what was going on.

No wonder the emperor of the empire personally issued the bounty; he originally thought it was only because of the Troll.

"Damn it, [Blue Roses] and Renner are very close, and so is Lainas."

"Especially since Lainas has known ' Free Will ' for a long time and also commands a newly formed legion."

Zanac was unaware that cold sweat was beading on his forehead.

He suddenly realized that his younger sister possessed a considerable amount of power.
