Slaughter God’s Journey to Immortality - C71
When he saw Werther get out of the car, he hurriedly sat down and greeted him. Werther stopped him with a smile and said, “Grandpa Tom, I was just sent by my father to be a hired thug. You have to decide on the details, and besides, my position is lower than yours.” Old Tom did not put on airs. He smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, why don’t we all be more comfortable? I don’t need to bow to you. Don’t call me grandpa. Just call me Old Tom.”
Werther smiled in response and asked, “What kind of place is this?” Old Tom laughed. “This is a resupplying base for the city defense army. The food for the beast race was transferred from here, and the people sent here are absolutely loyal. Young Master Werther can rest for the night. We will set off tomorrow morning.” Werther smiled. “I won’t call you grandpa, so don’t call me young master. Just call me by name.” “But I heard that the news about the food delivery has leaked out. What’s going on?”
Old Tom said, “These are all because of a bastard from the Military Administration who doesn’t keep his word. Back then, he climbed up using the relationship between the Right Prime Minister and himself, and he did not hide anything from someone who had sent him 100,000 gold coins. It’s just that he doesn’t know the use of food.” But it was also obvious, so our actions were exposed. The Commissioner was furious and personally ordered his death. He made a mistake and even the Right Premier was unable to protect him. ”
What kind of experts were the attackers in the caravan?” Old Tom answered, “The previous convoy was very secretive, and they did not run into many strong opponents. At most, a few Silver Warriors fought a few fierce battles, but as we increased our manpower, they also sent a few more people. The last time, there were already Golden Warriors. Werther considered for a moment and then said with a smile, “This is also my first time doing this. I don’t really understand why I still need to ask you for advice on things I don’t understand. Old Tom, don’t hide anything!” Old Tom grinned and laughed. “No way, no way!” He had a good impression of this straightforward young master from a noble family. Moreover, he was the son of a superior, so he had to curry favor with him.
Early the next morning, this huge fleet of carriages officially started moving, and along the way, it could be said that it was night and day. Old Tom was really an old bird with a clear door, and he knew all the mountains where he could sleep, and all the cities and towns he knew all very well where he could have enemy eyes. He walked steadily for more than a month until he finally arrived at the southwest border of the Klein Empire. Then Old Tom gave the order to divide the convoy into three groups, the smaller of which were on standby until seven days later, while he and Werther took the larger one and headed for the desert.
This also showed the cunning old man’s methods, everything had a backup plan. When Werther and the others came out, they had also changed their identity, using the name of Avatar Chamber of Commerce. Without question, this Chamber of Commerce must have been registered with the Imperial Capital’s Finance Department, and even all of its shopkeepers and waiters would be on board.
If one were to ask why they didn’t use a magical teleportation circle or a spatial ring to transport the grains, first, the magic teleportation circle would consume too much energy. If they wanted to transport this huge pile of grains to their destination, they would have to exhaust more than ten Saint Magisters to death.
Old Tom ordered his men to pack up properly, then led fifty warriors and thirty carts into the desert. The horses pulling the carriage were not ordinary horses, but a low-level magical beast called the camel. This kind of magical beast was gentle, resistant to drought and fatigue, and after being tamed it was the most suitable for running in the desert. Furthermore, this kind of magical beast also had a good defense, which could help the caravan resist attacks under certain conditions.
However, Werther and the others were already prepared. Each of them wore a set of magic equipment made by alchemists, which could effectively control the temperature of the body and lock down the loss of water in their bodies. According to Old Tom himself, before he went to the imperial capital to look for a job, he was once a soldier stationed at the edge of the desert and knew a lot about it. This time, James had chosen him.
Old Tom knew exactly when to rest, when to hurry, and where to find a new water source. Although there were also mages in the team that could extract the pure water particles directly, the water particles in the desert were few in number to begin with. Moreover, there was the need to keep magic to deal with thieves and robbers that could appear at any time.
Their destination and transfer station was a kingdom in the desert, called the Kingdom of Loke. This was the largest kingdom in the desert, almost half the size of the Klein Empire. Although it didn’t sound like much, it was already very valuable to have enough water in the desert to support humans in building a country of this size. The capital of the kingdom of Locke was called Morais, which meant the pearls of the desert.
At Morais, they would receive sufficient supplies, as well as support from the orcs. The group travelled very quickly, arriving at Morales in just a few days’ time. Along the way, there were a few waves of bandits that wanted to rob the convoy, but they were all killed by the warriors and mages accompanying them. Werther didn’t take any action at all, which made him feel depressed, but also a little wary.
It was impossible for the enemy to not make a move for such a large scale delivery of goods and materials. The later their operation was conducted, the more detailed their plan was. It was more likely that they would be ambushed and killed in a single strike. Old Tom was surprised by this too. He smiled and said, “It’s alright, that’s why I divided the team into three parts. The other two leaders are very experienced and will definitely be safe. Our team is mainly here to attract the enemy’s attention. In addition, with Werther leading, we can also probe the bottom line of the Kaiser Empire. The recent few raids have made me suspect that not only Kaiser’s army is participating, but there is another force among them as well. ”
It goes without saying that there must be a shadow of the Holy See behind the whole incident. Over the past few decades, the Radiant Church had always pursued the policy of helping Kaiser and suppressing Klein. If this was for the sake of the hegemony of the continent, then it was even more important to maintain the balance of power. However, for the Church to suppress one side so loudly and become the other, it was truly thought-provoking.
As expected of Morales, the largest city in the desert, Werther and Old Tom drove the convoy slowly into the city. The exotic scenery on the road had really opened the eyes of this exotic young man, and the people in the desert kingdom, whether they were men or women, were all wearing long robes, with very little skin exposed to reduce the sun’s rays and the loss of moisture. The women, on the other hand, wore veils, which were said to only be removed when they were with their elders or their husbands.
They found a tavern to rest. Judging from how old Tom was acquainted with the tavern’s owner, Werther could tell that this was definitely a stronghold of the Kaletti Empire. In the evening, everyone had a sumptuous dinner and then went to bed. Werther took a beautiful bath, then sat down quietly and continued to cultivate.
Although the three of them cultivated together, Werther was still used to having a flow of Chaos true energy circulating through his body, condensing his acupuncture points. Although the three of them cultivated together, Werther was still used to having a flow of Chaos true energy flowing through his body, condensing his acupuncture points. In the desert, most of the elements were naturally fire and earth element, and occasionally there were also metal element elements. Werther didn’t reject them, and he didn’t have to worry about others spying on him in the desert, and since his subordinates were all around him, he naturally improved tremendously by absorbing with all his strength. In just a few days’ time, he had condensed five more acupoints, which was much faster than his speed in the capital. Old Tom couldn’t conceal the astonishment in his eyes. It was clear that he also sensed the difference in Werther’s cultivation, but he wisely chose to remain silent.
In the inn, he couldn’t recklessly absorb the elements, so Werther tried once again to use his Yin Master to leave his body. With the experience from the last time, it was very easy this time. With just a thought, a wave of yin aura floated up to the sky gate, and if there was someone who had cultivated in Taoist Yin Yang Eyes or Buddhist Heavenly Vision Techniques, they would see a golden, ghostly, but dense body appear above Werther’s head, breathing towards the moon.
Werther focused all his attention on the Yin God. It could be said that his body was now a zombie, and the Yin Master from Werther’s body had already transformed into the appearance of the Supreme Dao Sovereign from his sea of consciousness. However, his face was still that of Werther’s. The Dharma Idol’s entire body was enveloped by the moonlight as if it was wearing a white robe. The essence of the moonlight was absorbed into the robe and the Yin Master was growing at an extremely fast speed.
