?Chapter 1037: 323. St. Din Fire


    “Kindhearted wizard?”


    The leader of the Earth Vein wizards froze in ce.


    His face, patched together with y, showed a bewildered expression.


    Nnd Lee nodded calmly and said,


    “Yes, it’s me… I am Ferrero, a hired wizard. The ones beside me are mypanions, Kenda and Ritz.”


    The first few words Nnd Lee spoke were directed to the Dusk Giant within the Earth Vein wizard leader. <div>


    ...


    Thetter part of his sentence, however, was a conversation with the Earth Vein wizard leader himself.


    Ferrero, Kenda, and Ritz were names he had created on the fly for his three “persons”…


    So-called “hired wizards” were those who, after graduating from wizard students, specialized in carrying out hired tasks.


    Such wizards belong to no wizard forces and generally value money over loyalty.


    The Earth Vein wizard leader felt a bit strange upon hearing Nnd Lee’s self-introduction.


    It was rare to see high-level wizards serving as hired wizards, let alone three who appeared to be Saint-level wizards all at once…


    Upon further thought, the Earth Vein wizard leader realized.


    This might be an intentional ploy by the trio to conceal their true origins.


    With this in mind, the Earth Vein wizard leader curbed his probing gaze and turned to bow respectfully with a low profile, saying carefully,


    “Thank you for lending your assistance, all three of you. I am Gretel Earthvein, a Sixth Ring Battle Wizard from the ‘Pir of Ley Lines.’ Please ept this token of my gratitude; it is what you three deserve.”


    Gretel Earthvein took out a small bag of magic gems and handed them over to Nnd Lee with both hands.


    Nnd Lee took them nonchntly and said,


    “You will be dyed for a bit, as I have something to discuss with the being inside you.”


    “Yes, Your Excellency, as you wish,” replied Gretel Earthvein, reaching into his robe and handing a pendant to Nnd Lee.


    He tactfully moved his team aside into a nearby passage, not eavesdropping on the conversation between Nnd Lee and the Dusk Giant.


    Nnd Lee cast “Mind Induction” on the pendant, establishing a mental bridge to avoid any unwee listeners.


    “How have you beentely? Have you found a way to leave the Tatis Empire?” Nnd asked straight to the point.


    “Thank you for the advice you gave me before, Ferrero. ‘Pir of Ley Lines’ has now entered the Tatis Empire. I have negotiated with them a method to escape from the Empire…”


    The Dusk Giant was initially pleased, but then his tone changed, revealing his distress,


    “However, this method is arduous. I need a stable carrier to hold my soul and extraordinary traits, or it could lead to cmity.”


    “A stable carrier… what do you mean? Do you need a powerful magic orb?” asked Nnd, puzzled.


    After a slight pause, the Dusk Giant sighed,


    “Ah, no, magic orbs are not sufficient; it has to be a sub-dimensional ne. Only by utilizing the power of space to construct a sub-dimensional ne can it withstand my soul and extraordinary traits.”


    Nnd blinked, impressed, and a question crossed his mind,


    “How then does the Tatis Emperor bear your soul and extraordinary traits?”


    The Dusk Giant exined,


    “In the center of my head is an amber-colored organ called the ‘Mind Core.’ It’s the carrier for my soul, the source of extraordinary power, and the physical embodiment of Prime Material. The Tatis Emperor has taken control of my Mind Core. Only by transferring the extraordinary traits and soul within the Mind Core to a sub-dimensional ne can I regain my freedom.”


    “Oh, I see.”


    Nnd understood now.


    Hadn’t the Assassin Angel mentioned a sub-dimensional ne called the ‘Steel Forest of Mortal World’?


    Nnd almost thought that the Tatis Emperor had such a ne in hand.


    Now it seemed that the Mind Core held by the Tatis Emperor was the restraint upon the Dusk Giant.


    “So, what are you doing here?” Nnd inquired further.


    “I want to transform this pollution zone into my sub-dimensional ne,” the Dusk Giant answered honestly.


    Nnd’s mind trembled…


    The Dusk Giant had the ability to build a sub-dimensional ne from a pollution zone!


    My goodness.


    And you juste out and say it?


    You’re truly frank, aren’t you?


    Compared to that, the Assassin Angel was like squeezing toothpaste, always liking to keep people in suspense.


    The Dusk Giant was much better; he spoke his mind without beating around the bush.


    Nice, the Dusk Giant was someone Nnd could get along with.


    After contemting quickly, Nnd asked his third question,


    “Do you know the Assassin Angel?”


    “I do not. Who is that?”


    “You don’t know?” Nnd was clearly surprised.


    “Yes.”


    Nnd pointed to the dried blood on the ground,


    “Then do you know to whom these dried bloodstains belong?”


    The pendant hovering in the air swayed slightly, as if scanning the dried ck blood,


    “I do not know… but, I sense some extraordinary presence.”


    Nnd nodded thoughtfully.


    He extended his right hand in front of the pendant, revealing the “Divine power runes” given by the Assassin Angel,


    “Do you recognize this?”


    The pendant moved closer for inspection,


    “No, I do not recognize it.”


    This was getting stranger and stranger… Nnd stored away the “Divine power runes,” rubbing his head in confusion.


    It was known that Blood Binder Zudak, Assassin Angel Gallobelia, and Osmisgard Duskgiant were all mysterious big shots from outer space.


    But why did the Dusk Giant not know the other two, while the other two seemed to know each other?
