Starfire City, Dragon Knight Warrior Academy.
Back mountain, the place where Yao Lao goes into seclusion.
"My apologies, Mr. Roger, for making you come all this way for nothing." Yao Lao wore a respectful expression.
Rejected once again, Roger nodded, then shot into the sky without a word, disappearing into the horizon in a flash.
Since Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were unwilling, Roger didn't force the issue. Besides, he had just successfully hoodwinked nearly a hundred Saint Domain experts into heading to the Supreme Plane not long ago, so he had already had his fill of excitement.
"I'll go find that Sea Dragon next. Saint Domain magical beasts are much easier to trick than other races." Roger took to the air and flew toward the horizon.
After Roger left, Xiao Yan finally returned to Starfire City.
Yao Lao and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance.
They both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
Yao Lao: Did he approach you too?
Xiao Yan: He did, but I refused him.
The two understood the unspoken communication between them and did not speak a word.
"You found traces of the second brother?" Lynn stood up, looking shocked.
At this moment, nervousness, excitement, and surprise—a flurry of emotions surged in Lynn's heart. He looked at the guard before him with anticipation.
The guard lowered his head in fear. "I am not certain, sir. It's just that some subordinates reported that after Qingli City was breached, some residents saw people capturing refugees on a large scale, and there were even mages among them."
"Slave traders?" A thought flashed through Lynn's mind.
The Coiling Dragon World had slavery. Whenever a large-scale war broke out, slave traders often walked the edge of danger to acquire large numbers of slaves. Sometimes... the armies themselves were the biggest slave traffickers.
"It probably isn't slave traders." Wilbur walked in from outside.
"You may leave first." Wilbur glanced at the guard, then turned his gaze to Lynn.
After the guard retreated, Wilbur finally spoke.
"After receiving the news, I already had people send word to every organization within the empire that deals in the slave trade. Regardless of their size, I've had them investigated, and there is no sign of the Kasa you mentioned."
"To ensure nothing was missed, I have already sent Saint Domain experts to check foreign powers. News will arrive soon, but... I wouldn't hold my breath."
"..." Lynn frowned, his expression looking incredibly grim.
If Kasa wasn't abducted by slave traders, could it be that he had already met with misfortune?
"Keep looking. I want to see him alive if he's alive, and his body if he's dead!" Lynn took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart.
Just as Wilbur was about to leave, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
"Mr. Lynn, there is something wrong with the Dark Night Principality!"
Hearing the voice, Lynn snapped his eyes open.
"Speak!"
The middle-aged Saint Domain expert who had descended felt the pressure from Lynn's gaze and took a deep breath.
"My lord, following Lord Wilbur's orders, my subordinates checked the local slave organizations while passing through the Dark Night Principality."
"We unexpectedly learned some news: a mysterious force has recently emerged within the Dark Night Principality, seizing people on a massive scale. According to information provided by these slave traders, this mysterious force took advantage of the war between the two major churches to plunder a large number of people."
"Not long ago, someone on the border of the Dark Night Principality accidentally saw a large convoy entering the principality's territory from the empire's border. There were very noisy sounds coming from the convoy, which is highly likely to be the abducted population."
"Is the information accurate?" Lynn fixed his gaze on the middle-aged Saint Domain expert, his expression agitated.
"Absolutely accurate. I would not dare to fabricate even a single detail." The middle-aged Saint Domain expert straightened his posture.
"Fine, I will go there myself." Lynn stood up from his seat.
His gaze swept over Wilbur and the middle-aged Saint Domain expert. "If I can find my second brother this time, consider it a favor I owe you both. There will be a great reward in the future."
"We wouldn't dare, sir. It is our honor to serve you."
Whoosh!
East Sea, Nine Islands Alliance, Tianxing Island, inside a hidden base, a thick, bloody stench permeated the air.
In a dim, secret chamber, three pupils flickering with golden light were shrouded under a black robe, appearing faint and indistinct. In front of the figure, a crystal ball emitting a hazy golden mist was tucked away into a spatial ring by the robed person.
"Ten thousand ordinary souls, plus the souls of several hundred mages, should be enough to condense a trace of soul liquid," the robed person muttered to himself.
"There are still eight bases left to visit. I can harvest at least several hundred thousand units of soul essence. Combined with what I've already accumulated, it should be enough to form a Soul Gold Bead." The tone of the black-robed figure sounded somewhat smug.
A Soul Gold Bead is something even ordinary gods cannot create, yet the robed person, despite being only a Saint Domain expert, could craft one. This was entirely due to the robed person's race: the Three-Eyed Winged Human Race!
Elmer's parents were merely ordinary winged humans of the beast race, but Elmer had unexpectedly experienced an ancestral bloodline reversion, growing a third eye on his forehead.
Possessing three eyes, Elmer was regarded as a freak by the winged human race and was abandoned before he was even a month old. Fortunately, Elmer's reverted bloodline was powerful; even in his infancy, he possessed strength no less than a low-level warrior, allowing him to barely survive in the wild.
Later, as Elmer grew older, he discovered the secret of his third eye: it was naturally capable of refining soul essence to increase his spiritual power. Relying on this, Elmer became a Saint Domain expert in just a few short decades.
In the end, he even slaughtered the Winged Race, refining them into several Soul Gold Beads.
That day, Elmer left the Winged Race with not a single clansman following behind him; the only things accompanying Elmer were the cold Soul Gold Beads.
The Saint Domain potential of an entire race!!
In the Dark Night Principality, Lynn descended from the sky, his gaze sweeping across the pitch-black mountain range before him.
"This should be the place."
With his comprehension of the Fate Law reaching the limit of the Saint Domain, Lynn's speed within the material plane was incredibly fast; in just a short moment, he was able to scout the entire territory of the Dark Night Principality, and the base Elmer had built deep within the pitch-black mountains could not hide from Lynn at all.
Inside the base.
Kasa sat on the ground in tattered clothes when suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Time to eat." The cold voice of a Black-Clad Soldier rang out.
Splat!
A glob of unknown, viscous soup, contained within a wooden bowl, was tossed in front of Kasa by the soldier.
Looking at the food, a flash of humiliation crossed Kasa's eyes, but the experiences of these past few days told Kasa that he had no ability to resist, and he couldn't even commit suicide.
With my super-grade elemental affinity, I have now barely managed to break through the blockade of the Anti-Magic Stone and sense the magic power within my body. If I endure for a few more days, I will be able to cast magic and break out. I must be patient now... A cold glint flashed in Kasa's eyes.
There was no spoon, nor any other eating utensils.
With his legs and hands shackled, Kasa could only eat in the most humiliating way, head bowed, lapping up the food like a beast.
The Black-Clad Soldier outside the door saw this scene and let out a sneer of disdain.
Just as he turned his head, a palm rapidly enlarged in the Black-Clad Soldier's pupils.
BANG!!
Lynn, with a cold face, grabbed the Black-Clad Soldier by the face and hoisted him high into the air.
He pointed his other hand forward, shattering the prison door.
"Second brother, big brother is late."
