Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The News of Turmoil Brought by the Wisdom Tree

?

After returning to his territory, Qin Muye initiated a new research project.

Of course, it wasn't about the dragon corpse but focused on the harpy hero, Ex, that he had captured earlier. The value that could be extracted from this cave-dweller had been nearly depleted; to put her on the surgery table again would no longer be dissection, but torture.

Qin Muye didn't have the leisure to engage in such acts.

Instead, he was more curious about the harpy. The dragon corpse could wait to be dealt with later, after all, time wasn't an issue for him-seeing as it was already dead, a little more time wouldn't matter.

If the harpy were to die one day, however, its value would greatly decrease.

As for the Crimson Flame, without Tian Qi accompanying him, he didn't dare to go there. One only has one life, so it was crucial to be careful. Someone as weak as him venturing into such a dangerous place had to bring a bodyguard.

Now that the bodyguard was out leveling up, he could only wait for their return.

In fact, he could choose not to research the harpy. He could study the Floating City, but it was somewhat pointless to do so now, seeing as that would only come after he had resolved, or confirmed the irresolvability of, the Red Wind Calamity.

Because if the Red Wind Calamity proved to be unsolvable, it would naturally mean he had to escape; as the territory was static, the only option would be to transform it into the Floating City and make an escape.

If the calamity were resolved, then there would be no more worries.

The advancement of Spirit Monsters could be put off for a while; rank 4 troops were not a major issue.

Besides that, it was the birth of Champion Level units and Hero units. With the Magic Pool's emergence, this had already formed an assembly line. Without Qin Muye's intervention, about every 10 days a Champion Level Spirit Monster would be born from a Spirit Monster.

Afterward, Deacon Spirit Monsters, following Black Hand's arrangements, would handle their profession changes and then put them to their designated work. Qin Muye didn't have to worry about this.

"Master, a Wisdom Tree has appeared not far from here," reported a Deacon Spirit Monster in a hurry.

"???" Qin Muye found this strange; why would a Wisdom Tree appear at this time?

"What's the situation? Tell me in detail." Qin Muye did not set out immediately but asked for more information.

"Ten minutes ago, about three kilometers from our territory, the projection of the entity began to form. A Spirit Monster went to investigate, and the Wisdom Tree claimed to have met you before," the Deacon Spirit Monster briefly described the process.

Qin Muye frowned, trying to understand the entity's intent.

"Let the Evangelical Spirit Monster accompany me, and let's see what this Wisdom Tree is all about," Qin Muye thought for a moment and finally decided to take a look.

No visit is made without a reason; surely it approached him with a matter of importance.

He certainly remembered the Wisdom Tree; it was somewhat of a benefactor, although, within that favor, there might lie some ulterior motive.

"Wait, no need for the Evangelical Spirit Monster; just let a Demon Spirit Monster follow me." Qin Muye suddenly realised that the Evangelical Spirit Monster contained the power of an Ancient God, which the other party might perceive.

The world seemed to hold an immense taboo against Ancient Gods, so if he were to bring it and the other party discerned something, it would spell disaster for Qin Muye; he was no True Dragon Emperor capable of confronting a Divine Being.

"Yes, Master," replied the Deacon Spirit Monster, quickly going to make arrangements.

Soon after, Qin Muye set out with a thousand Demon Spirit Monsters. Although it was only about three kilometers, their imposing arrival somewhat exceeded the Wisdom Tree's expectations.

[You have visited the Wisdom Tree.]

"Long time no see, little Mage," the Wisdom Tree greeted benevolently.

"Indeed, it's been a long time, Wise Man. I never imagined the Wise Man would risk coming to this Red Wind Plain to see me-I'm truly flattered," Qin Muye responded courteously.

As for the other's benevolent appearance, it was better left unmentioned.

"But I wonder, what urgent matter brings the Wise Man to this place? My small domain hardly seems fitting for you."

Qin Muye got straight to probing for information. He was well aware that he must be of some use to the other party; otherwise, a sudden visit to the dangerous Red Wind Plain would be

unlikely.

"You really do have a sense of humor, little Mage. I was merely passing by and took the opportunity to visit an old friend," the Wisdom Tree said with a hint of nostalgia, as if that was indeed the case.

But Qin Muye didn't believe even a punctuation mark of it.

"That's wonderful, but I have many duties in my domain and can't stay long. Now that our meeting is over, I'll take my leave," Qin Muye said with a bow, ready to leave with his

companions.

The other was clearly fooling around, and Qin Muye didn't have time to waste on such games. He might have entertained them if he were a different sort of person, but not Qin Muye.

That he was speaking politely to the other at all was a concession. He had long since abandoned pleasantries.

"Haha, since you're so busy, little Mage, I'll get right to the point. You must know about Molier consuming Dragon Blood and transforming into a Giant Dragon," the Wisdom Tree said, not being a fool, clearly perceiving Qin Muye's impatience and understanding that it was no longer appropriate to play on emotions.

"I know, but I'm not involved in that matter, nor is it something I can meddle in," Qin Muye said expressionlessly, thinking that if the Wisdom Tree was trying to stir him up with this, it was a wasted effort indeed.

"No, I'm just here to let you know that it's almost over. Molier is preparing to marry that Lord who claims to be the True Dragon Emperor," the Wisdom Tree explained.

This was indeed a smart move. The Dragon Clan dared to mess with Molier because she was weak, but they would definitely not dare to touch the spouse of the True Dragon Emperor.

With this, the affair would truly be coming to an end. Qin Muye glanced at the Points Ranking -True Dragon Emperor was raking it in, ranked first, and would receive a Dragon Clan Hero unit as a bonus, with no ordinary Profession for sure.

"Hmm, I got it. Anything else?" Qin Muye asked, having no envy or dissatisfaction with the situation; if he were as strong, he would do the same.

"It seems you still do not understand the gravity of the situation. On our continent, Divine beings are equivalent to a 6th Rank Lord, and the 7th Rank is the limit for the Magic Continent."

"To become a 7th Rank, one must either rule the entire continent or leave it. Which path do you think the True Dragon Emperor will choose?" the Wisdom Tree asked, seemingly stating facts but actually trying to provoke Qin Muye.

Yet, Qin Muye's focus was not on what the other was saying but on a discovery he had made: "So, does this mean that in the last conflict with the Divine, the Divine actually lost?" "Correct. The Divine lost. Otherwise, the True Dragon Emperor would have died long ago," the Wisdom Tree confirmed without evasion.

"After the Adaptation Period, you've been beaten so badly by the True Dragon Emperor and Wang Junzi that you're nearly dead. Just as I thought."

To Qin Muye's point, the Wisdom Tree was quite speechless. What they should be discussing

was the possibility of Qin Muye being killed by the True Dragon Emperor, not the Divine's near-death beating.
