On a Metallic Airship, Jason and Naya, Midgod the Vermilion Bird Clan, were traveling. They had now entered the territory of the Northbone Prefecture. Jason planned to stop in Hyde City, the capital of the Northbone Prefecture, for a while before heading to the Rhine Clan. He would prepare for the family's relocation and look for an opportunity to reunite with his other two clones.
"Who were the people who enslaved you? How were you captured?" After getting to know her a little better, Jason inquired about Naya's past.
"When I was traveling in Biyou Prefecture, I was ambushed by a fellow Fiend while on a Fiend quest. I was then sold to an unknown force and eventually ended up in Greyrock City, where you rescued me." Naya gritted her teeth angrily, then said, "Please take me to the Bloodblade Mountains of Bloodvast Prefecture. That's the territory of our Four Divine Beasts Clan. Once we get there, I will definitely ask my elders to repay you."
Jason changed the subject. "How long have you been captured?"
"I'm not entirely sure either. I was unconscious for a while after being captured; I must have been attacked by a soul! Those bastards, once I get back to the family, I'll make sure my father finds them and kills them all!"
After Jason and Naya finished venting, they said, "The Four Divine Beasts Clan have withdrawn from the Netherworld."
"What? Impossible! Our Four Divine Beasts Clan's branch in the Netherworld has been settled for two hundred million years!"
"The Four Divine Beasts Clan was attacked by enemies and could not hold out, so they had to leave."
"Your Excellency, please do not speak nonsense. Our family's four patriarchs are Sovereign!"
Naya was furious. As a member of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, she possessed an innate confidence and arrogance towards her family.
Jason didn't refute anything, only saying calmly, "You can stay by my side. When the opportunity arises, I will let you return to the Four Divine Beasts Clan."
Hyde City, the capital of the Northbone Prefecture, is a city that appears in the original work.
The Saint Clan controls this city. Saint, the lord of the Northbone Prefecture, Sovereign's Emissary main Saint and his strength is enough to intimidate all forces within the prefecture. Therefore, in the face of the internal strife in the Bone Dragon Prefecture, apart from some local disturbances, the rest of the Northbone Prefecture remains prosperous.
Jason didn't have many Nether Stone left, so he didn't put much effort into the materials for refining weapons.
Jason directly exchanged over ten million Nether Stone for Netherworld "specialties" such as Soul Gold Bead and Soul Poison. Jason knew these items were inexpensive and of high quality in the Netherworld, and he could easily profit from the price difference in the Infernal Realm.
Although Jason isn't short of money now, he has no use for the Nether Stone once he gets to the Infernal Realm.
Completely ignoring the sales clerk's strange look, Jason led Naya to the Fiend Castle.
"Any recent news about Skyfall City? Within the last hundred years, preferably about how to enter Skyfall City."
The Fiend organization has its own intelligence system, after all, Fiend are everywhere in the Netherworld; and for Fiend, a lot of information is sold at low prices.
The intelligence officer immediately selected one item and said, "There are seven pieces of information that meet the requirements, each worth one thousand Nether Stone."
Clearly, Skyfall City, as the focal point of the internal strife within Bone Dragon Prefecture, has received a great deal of attention. Information about Skyfall City is not exactly top secret.
Jason had some spare Nether Stone left, so he paid the money directly.
His two clones were trapped in Skyfall City. Due to the city's lockdown, news was not shared between the inside and outside of the city. The city lord only reported good news and not bad news, so Jason dared not venture out recklessly.
However, according to intelligence from the Fiend Castle, there haven't been any major changes in Skyfall City recently; the only difference is that the lockdown measures have been tightened, and more residents have taken the opportunity to leave.
Based on the information available, it is quite difficult to enter Skyfall City now. Some merchants have tried to force their way into Skyfall City with their goods to make a fortune, with some succeeding and others failing.
The Fiend Castle's risk assessment is that you shouldn't even think about using Five-Star Fiend; for safety's sake, Six-Star Fiend are the best option. Of course, before doing so, you should also consider how to leave afterwards and how to face the Bone Dragon Prefecture Lord's wrath.
After glancing at the information, Jason took Naya and left, flying westward.
"Have you heard about the internal strife in Bone Dragon Prefecture?" Jason asked Naya.
"Absolutely not."
Since Jason "slandered" the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Naya's attitude towards Jason has changed drastically. Even with the contract with the Overgod, she seems unwilling to lower her proud head.
Jason didn't care. She was just a Midgod with low blood purity; saving her was purely a matter of convenience.
"It seems you've been captured for over four thousand years." The internal strife in the Bone Dragon Prefecture began four thousand years ago; of course, Naya may have been captured even earlier.
"Let's change our itinerary; we'll go to Bone Dragon Prefecture first."
