After arriving at a location nearly 150 kilometers from Base No. 10, Jiang Ziliu finally found an underground cave to serve as his temporary safe house.

He placed the female elf inside, but did not immediately interrogate her.

Jiang Ziliu knew that the Elf Race had a strong will and that they would almost never choose to betray their race.

It's virtually impossible to get the answers you want through torture.

Even if he obtained it, he might not dare to believe the information was true.

However, you don't necessarily have to resort to violence to get someone to talk.

The methods of a brute are not suitable for someone like Jiang Ziliu who values Wisdom and knowledge.

He's an exceptionally skilled apothecary; whatever the problem, he can always find a solution with the miraculous power of potions.

Now, he needs to concoct a special potion similar to the truth serum from a magical fantasy world.

This is a formula he developed during his past studies and research in pharmacology, and he has been continuously improving it.

He simply didn't need it, and there was no need to waste resources on it, so he never prepared any.

But he did have the ingredients for this medicine.

Next, Jiang Ziliu immediately took out a lot of equipment and medicinal materials and began to prepare the truth serum.

The stun-inducing toxin in this elf has a long duration of effect, ensuring that the elf will not wake up while you are preparing the potion.

Once he had prepared the medicine, he simply named it Truth-Evoking Agent.

This is a special type of drug that targets the soul. It can temporarily bewitch the soul, making the soul believe that the person in front of them is their closest person.

It doesn't discriminate based on race; it primarily targets Wisdom life forms.

After completing this preparation, Jiang Ziliu walked to the elf captive's side and picked up her equipment to examine it.

Aside from a dagger, she carried no other equipment.

After a careful search, Jiang Ziliu noticed the headband on her head. After a thorough examination, Jiang Ziliu confirmed that the metal headband was actually a special spatial storage device.

It was simply designed as a headband, making it quite inconspicuous.

The elf before him was, like most female elves, extremely beautiful, but she lacked the natural charm of ordinary elves; instead, she possessed a peculiar, Sha Qi aura.

Even while unconscious, she instinctively maintained an aggressive posture.

Clearly, engaging in covert combat is a normal part of this mysterious female elf's life, which explains the fighting instincts she exhibits even while unconscious.

This female elf was indeed no ordinary member of the Elf Race.

This elf is more like a special character such as an assassin or a suicide squad member.

He examined the person carefully and found everything on them that could reveal their secrets.

The female elf was beautiful, but Jiang Ziliu didn't have any other thoughts. He knew very well what he had to do, and some ideas had to be cut off when it came to his life.

In the end, he found nothing of any use, and he couldn't open the headband-shaped spatial storage device before the female elf died.

It seems that the other party's important items are all inside this spatial equipment.

After finding nothing of value, Jiang Ziliu fed the other party the truth serum he had concocted, and then administered the antidote.

The Elf Race may be weaker in strength, but their physical constitution is not that bad.

Less than five minutes after being detoxified, the female elf awoke, but she was disoriented, as if in a mysterious illusion, and her instinctive vigilance was slowed down by the effects of the soul potion.

She had no idea who was in front of her; she only felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity, and an instinctive force within her made her trust the other person.

"What is your name?"

"Kalantia Mimiel Tyrande..."

After hearing the name, Jiang Ziliu couldn't help but complain about how long it was.

The other person spoke pure Elvish, but fortunately, he had learned the language before and could understand it perfectly.

The potion was very effective; just as the Probability Judgment analysis showed, it had a 98.6% chance of making the female elf tell the truth.

"You've completed your mission and can relax now. But you were injured and are now receiving excellent care; you can rest completely here."

The medicine was effective, but Jiang Ziliu still tried to put the other person at ease through words.

Tell me who you are!

"An elven spy from the Night Royal Guard Army of the Elf Race Moonlight Elf Royal Court!"

Jiang Ziliu understood; the elves in the Dungeon Space of Base No. 10 were the Moonlight Elves, a branch of the Elf Race.

His analysis was confirmed by secret agents; the female elf was indeed a secret agent.

"Why were you tracking that human during your mission today?"

Next, Jiang Ziliu asked the most crucial question.

"Because Princess Ailan's tamed beast, the life-giving unicorn, discovered that the human had activated all of the Hidden Soul Star. Moreover, the Demigod Artifact on the princess detected that the other party's strength was very powerful and posed a threat to the princess."

The female elf slowly revealed the truth.

"Therefore, the members of our Night Royal Guard Secret Division judged that the other party was a hidden Human Race genius of monstrous talent!"

" Human Race have no restrictions on the attributes or types of beasts they tame, and the Human Race's growth potential is too great, posing the greatest threat to all races in the universe."

"According to the secret Myriad Races' Human Growth Restriction Oath, we, the members of the Night Royal Guard Secret Division, must abide by the oath, track them down, and assassinate them at the opportune moment using orcish attack methods. Human Race believe that the orcs assassinated their genius, letting those dim-witted orcs Human Race ' hatred."

Good heavens!

This is truly an amazing revelation!

Jiang Ziliu was extremely shocked. Sure enough, there are no truly kind Wisdom races!

Competition between civilizations has always been brutal and ruthless!

Even the seemingly peace-loving and nature- Elf Race are secretly purging Human Race geniuses and shifting the blame onto the orcs.

Even the most beautiful elves can be incredibly cunning when they start plotting!

No wonder she didn't act when I gave her the chance; it turns out she didn't think that place was the best, and she wanted to frame the orcs.

Jiang Ziliu felt that his choice to develop through stealth was indeed the right one.

If he were to become arrogant and high-profile because of his genius, he would probably be targeted by the alien races immediately and put on their assassination list.

Young animals are always the easiest prey in nature, and very few young animals survive to adulthood.

This applies to the laws of nature, and it also applies to the competition between Wisdom civilizations.

Young geniuses are weak and easy targets, and this would also cut off the opponent's civilization's potential. Why not do it?

The Elf Race are carrying out their tasks in secret, while other Wisdom alien races are probably doing even more diligently behind the scenes.

In places unknown to ordinary people, countless Human Race geniuses have lost their lives through such clandestine methods, and the number of geniuses who ultimately rise to prominence is probably very small.

No wonder Teacher Li Qingcheng noticed her unusual behavior but chose to let it go, and secretly protected Li Wanqiu, who had an SS Grade talent, in the class.

Furthermore, this hunt for orcs also allowed most people to conceal their identities.

This so-called oath of all races is probably one of the reasons.

Human nature is complex; without external constraints, people may even start fighting amongst themselves.

For the sake of their own interests, how could those in power easily allow those in lower positions to rise to power, unless they had no other choice?

Preserving the growth of those at the bottom is also protecting the long-term interests of those at the top.

However, there are always loopholes in the rules, such as the emergence of the Blood Eye Adventure Group this time.

What happens if we don't keep that oath of all races?

"The details aren't entirely clear, but the oath possesses power, a near- God force. If it's not obeyed, a mysterious, unseen power will appear and punish the Elf Race!"

Jiang Ziliu was very concerned about this oath that supposedly restricted the growth of the Human Race among all races.

Unfortunately, he still didn't get any useful information.

However, he still obtained some crucial things, such as the fact that the elven princess possessed Demigod Artifact and the power of a vow that was like that of God.

All of this suggests that there may be even more powerful realms existing above the well-known Supreme Rank beings.

The terms Demigod and God perfectly illustrate the problem.

However, the Human Race's higher-ups never disclosed this information to the lower-level populace.

Next, Jiang Ziliu asked many questions about the Elf Race, about beast taming, about the royal court, and about the secrets of other exotic beasts.

During this process, he also learned how the other side managed to bypass the Human Race's tight defenses and enter the Human Race's territory through the Human Race's Dungeon Space defenses.

It turns out that the Human Race's detection devices in Space 10 were secretly deployed by the Elf Race, making it impossible for them to detect the members of the Night Royal Guard Army!

There might be Elf Race spy at Base No. 10!

As Jiang Ziliu asked questions, he quickly took notes of the information he gleaned.

In the end, he actually wrote the contents of a thick book.

His elven captive nearly lost her voice from talking so much.

Jiang Ziliu named the book he had asked about, which contained many secrets and knowledge about the elves, the Book of Dark Jade.

Dark Emerald represents the secrets and hidden nature of the elves.

He wouldn't use the word "elf" directly.

Completing this step also meant that he had squeezed the last bit of value out of this female elf.

He then took out a werewolf's knife and, without any pity for her beauty, killed the female elf.

His method was also very clever, using the techniques of a werewolf wielding a knife.

Next, he took away the other party's headband-style spatial storage equipment, because it had lost its owner, so he could now perform the blood oath ceremony.

Fortunately, the elves hadn't set any traps, or perhaps they didn't have the ability to, allowing him to successfully obtain the spatial storage equipment and its contents.

Jiang Ziliu took the female elf's corpse to the werewolf's territory under the cover of night and dumped it in a very secluded place.

He didn't care at all whether this move would cause conflict between werewolves and orcs.
