Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Plea from a Fallen Divine

?

"Master, there is a message." Black Hand knocked on the door and then spoke.

Qin Muye, who was conducting an experiment to transform a Magic Power Spirit Monster into an artificial Champion Level Spirit Monster, looked up with some confusion.

He had already said that if there was nothing significant, not to disturb him. What message could be worth interrupting his work for?

"What message?" Qin Muye asked without stopping the work in his hands.

"Demon Blood and the others have found the site of that divine being's downfall. We may have a chance to solve the Red Wind Disaster," Black Hand respectfully reported.

Qin Muye frowned, "Are you sure? If I'm not mistaken, the region where that divine being and the Great Mage died must be the place most shrouded in dense Magic Power and Divine Power. How could they possibly get in?"

Such a site of downfall was definitely in the most dangerous core region. Demon Blood and Evil Tongue simply couldn't enter, so how could they possibly find it?

"The divine being has not completely perished. There is still a lingering soul fragment that cannot leave the Red Wind Disaster area, but it has promised us corresponding benefits."

"From the feedback of Demon Blood and the others, the state of this divine being is not good, and it seems that it could dissipate at any moment."

Hearing this, Qin Muye's frown deepened. This clearly didn't bode well.

He then finished stitching up the Magic Power Spirit Monster, reset it in place, and after administering some Healing Magic, finally said, "You should realize there is a problem here, right? Anyway, tell me about this divine being's background."

"Yes, Master. The being takes the form of a half-goat person and calls itself Pan, claiming to be the god of Shepherds, Hunters, and Farmers, and also known as the Forest God."

"It promised that if we are willing to extract its Divinity from within the Red Wind Territory and provide it with sacrifices, it will grant us its blessings."

Qin Muye shook his head, "I don't believe in gods. Do you, Black Hand?"

"Master, I also don't believe, but this is a benefit. Whether we treat it as a wild monster to slay or imprison it in Prison, it will be your achievement." Black Hand truly lived up to his name, coveting what belonged to others.

"But you should also know the risks, right? We've all seen the terror of the Red Wind Disaster, and no Spirit Monster can move about within it," Qin Muye pointed out the critical issue.

The idea was very good and the benefits were enormous; if successful, they might indeed have the capital to cause trouble far and wide.

"Yes, and the risks are not small. I suspect this half-goat divine being might require a Blood Sacrifice, not just so-called faithful Sacrifice," Black Hand spoke candidly. "But it's undeniably an opportunity. Just 1000 Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters led by Demon Blood should suffice."

Black Hand's words were clear. That was to bet on Demon Blood and the 1000 Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters. If they won, the benefits would be immense; and if they lost, it wouldn't be a crippling setback at this point.

It wasn't that Black Hand had any conflicts with Demon Blood. Instead, it was a decision made based on the interests of their territory. But since it involved hero units, he discussed it with Qin Muye, as Qin Muye was their true master and the Lord of the territory.

Moreover, Qin Muye was researching artificial Champion Level Spirit Monsters. As long as he was successful, they would not be lacking in hero units in the future, which is why Black Hand believed it was worth the risk.

However, Qin Muye dismissed the decision instantly. In his eyes, the status and value of Demon Blood and the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters far exceeded that of an obscure half-goat deity.

"No, let's drop this matter," Qin Muye decisively vetoed the proposal.

"Actually, there is another method, but if it fails, there is a high probability we'll be trapped in the Red Wind Plain," Black Hand said.

"Are you talking about the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate?" Qin Muye immediately grasped what Black Hand implied.

"Yes, Master, as you understand," Black Hand responded. After all, it was the downfall site of a divine being and a Great Mage. Even the Silver Star Alliance couldn't penetrate deeply, so there must be treasures left behind.

That way, they could attack as well as defend, and the threats would be minimized, but there would still be risks. They wouldn't be none.

The Red Wind was a calamity woven from Magic Power and Divine Power, but no matter how strong, it couldn't instantly kill Demon Blood and the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters. Demon Blood could last ten minutes, and the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters five. With Healing Magic and relying on the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate to return, a retreat was completely manageable.

They wouldn't even need to use the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate. By just activating it from the inventory, Qin Muye could know Demon Blood's intention through another Teleportation Gate and then use the Lord Summoning Skill to pull them all back.

In this way, there would be no loss even to the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate.

The only variable was the Red Wind Calamity itself. His estimate of their survival time didn't guarantee that the intensity of the disaster at the core would indeed be as such. That was the uncontrollable factor.

Qin Muye's intelligence really was on par with ordinary people, but that didn't mean he wasn't clever.

"Okay, we'll proceed with this plan. Trapped to death in the Red Wind Plain? Heh, we have been in a difficult situation from the start, the outside world is too dangerous," Qin Muye naturally approved the idea.

In Black Hand's eyes, the value of a Bidirectional Teleportation Gate was greater than that of Demon Blood, as it was a doorway to the outside world.

But in Qin Muye's eyes, while the outside world had great value, it also came with significant dangers.

He believed that risks and opportunities were equivalent. The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.

The Red Wind Plain held only the remains of a fallen deity and a dead Great Mage, but the outside world had the living. Which was more dangerous-did that even need to be said? "Now, the Red Wind is our protection, not a limitation. Unless we truly face restrictions, the value within the Red Wind Plain far surpasses that of the outside world."

"Yes, Master, I will carry out your will!" Black Hand said before leaving Qin Muye's lab to arrange for the next steps.

Qin Muye reflected on this himself.

"A divine being, huh? The good do not come; those who come do not mean well."

The half-goat deity Pan sounded somewhat familiar to Qin Muye. He seemed to recall a similar deity from his past life, but he quickly put it out of his mind and returned to his

experiments instead.

As for him joining the exploration?

What a joke.

Wouldn't he just be a drag with his weak constitution? Heroes like Demon Blood were suited for combat-they should be the ones to go. He didn't need to add to the chaos.

As a Lord, why meddle in everything personally? Just knowing how to utilize talents and heed

advice was enough.

Otherwise, why would he bother to nurture hero units at all?

Specialization in one's craft was the key. It wasn't about a logistics researcher going to the

front lines to fight monsters when he could have simply been a Mage or an Elemental Master. Why become a Scholar at all?
