Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hans’s expression changed again. He suddenly thought that the Ruler had made him such a crucial chess piece in this plan. He must have thought that his family had a close relations.h.i.+p with Mike, and even suspected him!
Hans’s face was full of pain. He did not want to enter this confrontation, but now it seemed that he had no choice.
“What should I do?”
Hans thought about it. After a while, he decided not to tell Mike about this.
“This Mike and I have been in an alliance for some time. Maybe he is trying to target someone close to me!”
!!
The more Hans thought about it, the more scared he felt. He thought about how he should seal off this news.
“No, since the Ruler wants this news to reach Mike’s ears, then this is not something I can seal off.”
Hans only felt a headache. After a long while, he muttered, “He is forcing me into telling Mike…”
Hans recalled that a few hundred years ago, the Ruler had once made an offer to him, but he had rejected it without hesitation. Perhaps that was why the Ruler wanted him to be that chess piece.
“Why is it so difficult…”
Hans recalled the Ruler’s weak appearance, and his heart suddenly hardened. He muttered, “I’ll go all out. Isn’t it just the Ruler of the Otherworld? If you provoke me, the Gnome Dwarves, no one will be able to help you!”
Hans quickly left the courtyard and flew toward the Dark Church.
The Guardian, Hans, the Great Magus, and the Castle Lord sat around the table with the doc.u.ment beside them.
The Guardian looked at Hans with a serious expression and asked, “I need to confirm it again. Are you telling the truth?”
Hans did not waste any time. He took out something and placed it on the table. “This is the medicine storage jade talisman of our Gnome Dwarves. Holding it is equivalent to controlling the entire Gnome Dwarves race. I’ll put it here. You can return it to me after you verify the authenticity of the news.”
The three of them looked at each other. They could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
The Castle Lord quickly came out to smooth things over. He said, “Brother, don’t get too excited. This is really an emergency period. We have to be very careful when we do things.”
Hans waved his hand indifferently and said, “I’ve told you everything I know. You have to tell me a few things too.”
“Go ahead.”
Hans asked, “Through what means did you contact Mike? Can we obtain the ability to communicate with Mike like you?”
The Guardian said without hesitation, “We have to ask Mike before we can answer your question. Next question.”
“Were some of the people who died in the battle in your academy, but were actually faking their deaths?”
The three of them were shocked at the same time. They looked at Hans, and a strange light flashed in their eyes.
Seeing this, Hans quickly explained, “On the day Vice Dean w.a.n.g died, I happened to pa.s.s by the 30-foot Plains. Naturally, I saw the blood. Out of curiosity, I took action to investigate. I was surprised to find that the number of corpses and the power of living creatures there were far from the number of deaths that you mentioned. This made me a little suspicious, but it was only suspicion. I didn’t do anything to investigate you.”
The Great Magus let out a sigh of relief and said to Hans, “You worry too much. Why would we suspect you?”
Hans looked at the Guardian and asked, “Please answer my question. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me.”
The Guardian sighed, nodded, and said nothing.
Hans also nodded and said, “Then I have a request. I wonder if everyone will agree?”
The Guardian said, “That depends on what you are talking about.”
After hesitating for a while, Hans asked, “Can you ask Mike? We also want to send our own disciples to Mike, just like you. There are not only external problems in this Otherworld, but also internal problems.”
The Guardian nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I will definitely help you ask about this.”
Hans nodded, thanked the group, and left the Dark Church.
…
On the snowy plains, a group of people were speeding under the aurora. Suddenly, the leader stopped. He took out the glowing orb and carefully browsed through it, afraid that he would miss any details.
After a moment, the man’s expression changed slightly. He kept it and led the group to continue running into the distance.
Mike looked at the information on the table, and the expression on his face suddenly became subtle.
He asked Little Jerry, “Brother, do you think this matter is true or false?”
Little Jerry shook his head and said, “It’s both true and false. If he wants to be convincing, it must first be true. However, its true purpose is not what it expresses.”
Mike asked thoughtfully, “You mean that the Ruler is really injured, but he deliberately released this news to lure me back?”
Little Jerry nodded.
Mike’s brows were tightly knitted. He looked at the aurora outside the window and said, “I know that, but why would make it so simple?”
Little Jerry shook his head and said, “Maybe he still has a backup plan. I will inform the spies in the Otherworld to pay close attention to the imperial palace’s movements.”
Mike nodded.
Akari pushed the door open and walked in. Sh said to Mike, “A new batch of students from the Dark Church of Darkness has also arrived.”
Mike’s eyes lit up and said, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go and take a look.”
Mike and the others went to the city gate to welcome the students.
When the leader saw Mike coming, he pulled Mike and said to him, “Mike, I have something urgent to tell you. Please take me to a safe place.”
Mike nodded, waved his hand, and the man followed Mike to a secret room.
“What is it?”
The man told him about the Ruler’s explosion, how he asked Hans to go to the palace, and how Hans went to seek refuge with them.
Mike heard the man’s description and frowned.
“Leah, please keep it a secret from everyone. I will inform the right people about this.”
“Okay.” Leah did not hesitate. At a time like this, she had to listen to Mike.
Mike sighed and asked, “How many people came this time?”
“6,300.”
“That many?”
“There will be more and more in the future. The teleportation array has a cooldown time, and the teleportation interval should not be too short. However, the personnel screening is non-stop. The number of people we can trust is increasing. The next few times, the number will exceed 10,000.”
Mike nodded and said, “They are welcome to join us.”
Leah smiled and bade farewell to Mike. She went to prepare for the other trivial matters after entering the Dragon Castle.
