Dean
East Coast, deserted island.
A tremor ran through the void, and two figures slowly emerged.
"Was that what it felt like to travel through the Spirit World? It was amazing..."
Dunstan's eyes lit up, as if he couldn't wait to rush into the laboratory to study it.
Sulu, however, greatly admired the old man.
Although he can take people to Spirit World Travel, they must trust him completely. Otherwise, taking them in and not taking them out, or even throwing them into the Myriad Spirit World, would be equivalent to ' Banishment '.
In some ways, Dunstan was very bold.
"Is this... the agreed-upon location?"
Sulu glanced at the island; it wasn't large, and the vegetation was lush, but there were no signs of human activity.
"Between the Old Continent, the vast ocean blocks everything, fraught with danger... but there are also numerous islands, inhabited by the Islander, characterized by blue hair, who call themselves ' Children of the Ocean,' and whose primary faith is in the ' God of Ocean ' and the ' God of Storm '!"
Sulu recalled a piece of knowledge.
"It's a pity... This place looks like a deserted island. After all, it's a legendary site for exchanges, and it wouldn't be good if we accidentally hurt someone."
"Lord Uvitan has arrived."
Dunstan pulled out a golden invitation card, and a ray of golden light appeared, guiding the way ahead.
Sulu followed him into the depths of the bushes.
Suddenly, a ray of golden light flew out and disappeared into the void.
The surrounding vines grew wildly, forming a large, emerald-green gate that led to a mysterious, magical realm.
"Please!"
Dunstan went in first.
Sulu followed behind him, passing through the vine-covered gate, and was immediately greeted by an incredibly refreshing floral fragrance, full of vitality, which made him feel relaxed and happy, and he unconsciously took a deep breath.
"Natural realm?"
He couldn't help but recall Dunstan's brief introduction earlier.
Uvitan is a neutral Tier 5 professional who is skilled in manipulating and cultivating plants, as well as healing. He has a good reputation among the Federation's top professionals and is known for his enthusiasm and enjoy hosting salon events.
Furthermore, it is suspected that they have some connection with the Church of the Mother Earth!
'Perhaps... it's the [Druid] path?'
As Sulu pondered this, he arrived at a garden.
A colossal tree, its branches as fine as jade, stood blocking out the sun. On its trunk was a woman's face. "Welcome, [Arcane Caster]!"
"Lord Uvitan!"
Dunstan smiled and returned the greeting, then pulled Sulu to sit down on a tree stump next to the big tree. Some eyes swept over, but no detection was activated, for reasons unknown.
"Although it was a private gathering, it was very formal, and there was little need to hide our identities..."
Dunstan picked up a flower from a giant morning glory nearby, took a sip of nectar, and said to Sulu, "Of course... there are a few sneaky guys, but they often have some good stuff on them, so we just let them have their way."
Why didn't you say so sooner? Maybe I could have transformed and come back later...
Sulu rolled his eyes inwardly and continued to wait expressionlessly.
Dunstan whispered in his ear, introducing them. "Those three on the east side are all Guardian of the Federation. Lord Schumacher has just returned from the Dark Continent... To his right is Lord Alsen, the Warden of the Federation's special prison!"
"Special prison?"
Sulu tasted a cup of honey and felt the sweet flavor bloom in her mouth, giving her the illusion of being surrounded by flowers.
"That's a secret prison, mainly for superhuman criminals. Lord Alsen is the Warden," Dunstan said very solemnly. "Don't underestimate him."
"Why?"
Sulu asked curiously.
Dunstan fell silent, but a voice rang out directly in Sulu's Inspiration: "Rumor has it that that prison even holds a fifth-tier professional!"
"Fifth rank?"
Sulu was taken aback.
Although the Spirit Tide has been reviving in the Main World for some time, sixth-tier powerhouses have hardly appeared yet.
The fifth rank is the pinnacle of power in this world!
Such a professional was actually apprehended and imprisoned?
"The Federation Special Prison is equipped with terrifying anti-magic arrays, said to be able to simulate the environment of Twilight of the Gods..." Dunstan exclaimed, "That's the Federation's top-level secret, and... to be able to suppress so many extraordinary beings, the Warden's strength is definitely not weak; he might even be considered top-tier among all fifth-tier beings."
"So, Lord Alsen is practically a top-tier superhuman in the Federation? Could his profession be... [Great Axe Executioner]?"
Sulu guessed.
"Perhaps... Every Tier 5 profession is a secret, unless it's something like mine that's already been exposed..." Dunstan's tone was quite calm. "The Bureau 11, the Special Prison, the Exploration Team... these are the three strongest agencies on the Federation's mystical side."
"Green Tree Castle, the Church of the Goddess of Light... are forces that lean towards the Federation."
"Finally, there are some neutral organizations, as well as evil forces like the Ancient Serpent Society and the Black Death Society..."
"This is the composition of the Federation's extraordinary forces!"
A glint of light flashed in Sulu's eyes: 'Overall, the supernatural forces supporting the Federation account for more than 60%, and only this much can maintain a semblance of peace? How fragile...'
The extraordinary power originates from within themselves.
Therefore, the current state of war or peace in the Federation and even the world truly depends on the will of a small group of top professionals!
This is reality!
As he pondered, the legend of the Church of the Goddess of Light arrived. It was a [Red-Robed Archbishop], a professional in the faith system, whose gaze toward Sulu seemed to carry a deeper meaning.
Sulu, who was being stared at, felt a surge of Inspiration, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.
' The Seven True Gods Church don't want too many outstanding extraordinary individuals to appear. Anyone above the fifth-tier legendary level will be placed on their watchlist, let alone someone like me who broke through too quickly... Does this mean they're paying more attention?'
Sulu felt a chill run down his spine; who knew what other conspiracies might follow?
Fortunately, my breakthrough doesn't require resources from this world, so I can secretly develop my strength...
Following the Archbishop were three masked men wearing cloaks.
They moved sluggishly, somewhat like puppets, yet also seemingly alchemical life forms.
"Snort!"
Upon seeing this, both the Red-Robed Archbishop Lawrence and Schumacher snorted coldly.
Those who come in hiding are either neutral or leaning towards the evil side.
"Alright, welcome everyone."
At this moment, the face on the giant tree spoke, "I have organized this exchange meeting to provide a platform for top professionals to communicate with each other. Gentlemen, let's begin. Whether it's intelligence, information, Curio, or materials... you can trade freely. Or you can go and enjoy the scenery around you, and taste the various beverages I brew... There are specially designated spaces for private transactions, protected from scrutiny."
Sulu found the atmosphere here to be quite relaxed, more like a salon.
