Next, Odis explained in detail to the two demigods of the "Morse Ascetic Order" what a "collective farm" was.
Because this concept has not yet been proposed by any scholar in either the North or South of the continent.
Actually, the term "collective farm" was mainly used to accommodate Rosalind and Vincent's understanding of certain concepts. If Odis were to explain it to Klein, he would prefer to use "people's commune" or "production team."
In Odis's view, there are still some differences between the two.
After explaining the concept, Odis gave suggestions on specific operational procedures and promised that Remburg could exchange some industrial products for agricultural products produced by the "collective farm" and would receive certain preferential treatment.
After finishing their business, Rosalind talked about her recent experiences: "After starting to get busy in this small town, we realized that we had been seriously out of touch with the real world."
"Although this town is not big, everyone's condition has obviously improved since we took over, so we plan to open up a larger territory in the Southern Continent."
Odis recalled the map of the Southern Continent in his mind: "I suggest you move closer to the Lunburg colony. This way, we can trade more easily in the future. If anything happens that it is inconvenient for the extraordinary to take action, I can also send troops to resolve it."
Of course, one can also secretly seek their extraordinary help in critical moments.
Currently, the administration of the Southern Continent is quite chaotic, with local warlords and chieftains directly managing the people. Meanwhile, each country in the Northern Continent has only one sphere of influence, where they dump industrial products and plunder raw materials and minerals.
Only in some of the more prosperous cities do people from the Northern Continent directly participate in management.
Therefore, there is basically no specific boundary between the various forces. The place that Rosalind and her group found is far from the coast, has no special products, and no large mineral deposits have been found nearby. The warlords and local kings around are too lazy to care about these places, so there is still room for development.
After Rosalind said she would seriously consider Odis's opinion, Odis said, "I need three 'Multi-Eyed Bookworms,' do you have any?"
Benson Cook, being a Sequence 4, didn't understand what this auxiliary material represented, but Rosalind did.
She gave Odis a deep look before saying, "Yes."
What should I offer you in exchange?
"You don't need to pay me anything," Rosalind said with a smile. "Consider it my thank you gift."
"Thank you for your guidance on several occasions."
Odis accepted it without hesitation, for his guidance was indeed unique and irreplaceable.
Rosalind immediately obtained the "Multi-Eyed Bookworm," which had been spiritually sealed, from the spirit creature she had signed a contract with.
It was handed over to Odis on the spot.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Odis took his leave.
After returning to Azshara, Odis checked the "Multi-Eyed Bookworms" and, after confirming that there were no problems, put them into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".
At this point, all the materials for the ceremony were ready; only the ceremony was missing.
Odis continued to ponder how to further vandalize George III's tomb. Still lacking a good idea, he made a "prophecy" in hopes of seeking enlightenment. He then saw a pale-faced, gold-rimmed-glasses-wearing, black-haired middle-aged man holding a thick book, which he handed to Odis.
When the "prophecy" ended, Odis did not recognize the man in the prophecy. The prophecy had given the clue that the book given by the middle-aged man contained the information that Odis needed.
Moreover, this "give" does not necessarily mean gifting or giving; it could also mean spoils of war or captured books. Even the books could have a symbolic meaning, indicating that he will gain knowledge from them.
Odis smiled. With this prophecy, all she needed to do for now was to pay attention to that man.
Just then, the "knowledge wilderness" reacted again.
Odis was taken aback, thinking to himself that the "Lord of Mysteries" was quite busy today.
He only discovered after entering the "wilderness of knowledge" that it wasn't someone praying to the "Lord of Mysteries," but rather the spirituality of someone he had previously marked reacting.
Now, Odis can mark someone's spirit and cast his gaze upon them even if they don't have the "Staff of Gus".
Odis glanced at it and recognized it as the young man named Parada Trensost, whom he had marked in Pulitzer Harbor. At that time, Odis had punished a "lawyer" and encountered this young man named Parada. After learning that the other party was a member of the Trensost family, he casually marked him.
At this moment, the mark changed. Odis looked at it through the "wilderness of knowledge" and found that Parada was injured and her spirituality had changed.
At this moment, he was fleeing for his life in a carriage with his uncle, who was also seriously injured. His emotions were also undergoing a drastic change, which is why the "Knowledge Wilderness" gave him a warning.
Odis was slightly taken aback, wondering if the young man had gotten into trouble and implicated his uncle. So he paid closer attention and, through conversations between the uncle and nephew and other family members, Odis learned that two days ago, the family members in Pulitzer Port had been suddenly attacked.
They quickly determined that the other party was an extraordinary organization that had been established in recent years, with its main members being "lawyers" and "arbitrators." They requested the help of important family members, hoping to completely eliminate the organization and seize its characteristics.
In Odis's concept, apart from the official extraordinary organizations such as the Church of God and the royal family, other secret organizations can be roughly divided into three levels.
The first level consists of large, secretive organizations such as the "Witch Cult" and the "Morse Ascetic Order"; the second level consists of medium-sized extraordinary organizations such as the "Aurora Society," the "Gnostic Society," the "Ironblood Cross Society," and various active or inactive angel families; the third level consists of extraordinary organizations formed by wild extraordinary individuals.
The third level of organizations is usually led by only Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 leaders, and it is extremely rare for a wild extraordinary leader to be Sequence 4.
Because very few wild extraordinary individuals reach this level, and even if they do, they are usually absorbed by other extraordinary organizations.
Among wild extraordinary beings, reaching Sequence 6 is already quite impressive. If this extraordinary being is careful enough, they can easily accumulate a group of "low-sequence" extraordinary subordinates.
If the organization is led by a Sequence 5 leader, there may even be several "Mid-Sequence" subordinates.
There are many such extraordinary organizations on the North and South continents. As a medium-sized extraordinary organization, the Terensost family would choose to annex such small organizations when the time is right.
The timing is clearly opportune, as the Royal Family of Rune is busy fighting the Fusaks and has little concern for the wild extraordinary individuals within the country.
In their view, this was an opportunity to acquire some small, extraordinary organizations and expand their own power.
Therefore, the Terensost family directly dispatched a Saint and a Sequence 5 to resolve this matter.
However, they fell into a trap set by the official extraordinary individuals of Rune. It turned out that the small extraordinary organization was established with the support of the Rune royal family. Its purpose was to attract the attention of some slightly larger extraordinary organizations, and then the Rune Kingdom would deploy its overwhelming extraordinary power to eliminate that extraordinary organization and strengthen its own extraordinary power.
The reason why royal families in most countries possess many characteristics acquired through adjacent means is basically because they obtained them in this way.
Fortunately, the Trensault family is a seasoned family that had anticipated the situation and made corresponding preparations. Most of the family members involved in the operation escaped and quickly left Pulitzer Port in batches according to the plan.
As for which members will escape the subsequent search, that depends entirely on luck.
After learning the whole story, Odis's first thought was: the Trensust family still has a certain degree of organizational ability.
Many families that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years have to disperse and hide in peacetime, so over time they have difficulty maintaining cohesion and instead become a union of small extraordinary organizations centered around demigods or Sequence 5 beings.
In such circumstances, demigods and Sequence 5 beings rarely take the initiative to act in order to avoid risks.
A family that still maintains cohesion is likely one that possesses a Level 0 sealed artifact, and all family members are united around the person who possesses that Level 0 sealed artifact.
Odis then thought that it would be difficult for Paddas and the others to escape, since most of them were already injured, which was too obvious.
So Odis decided to offer them some assistance.
It wasn't that he was overly sympathetic; rather, when he marked this young man named Padas, he intended to establish a connection with the Trensost family, and ideally, hire a group of extraordinary individuals from the family to diversify his own extraordinary talent pool and prevent the formation of an internal extraordinary interest group.
Now is the perfect time to establish contact with the Trensost family. Save their people, and then quietly reveal that the person you serve knows the "Night Emperor." You should then be able to meet with the family's higher-ups.
Thinking of this, Odis was about to return to the real world to make some preparations when he suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to endorse "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea".
Before the start of the World War, Odis secretly began another collaboration with the Elven race, having the "Deep Sea Admiral" conduct arms deals with the Fusak Empire.
This is mainly to prepare for war. After all, Odis can't afford to offend Rune too much right now. So if they want to sell weapons to both sides of the warring nations at the same time, they need to use a "black glove" role.
After the war began, this covert operation proved effective, and the Fussac Empire ordered a large number of weapons from the "Deep Sea Admiral"!
Guided by the principle of making the performance complete, Odis instructed the elves to secretly establish an organization with demigods, claiming that the weapons were imitations of products from Crus Island.
The reason for doing this was that after the semi-automatic rifle was introduced, all the countries in the North Continent tried to imitate it. The country with the strongest industrial base, Rune, was the first to give up. They also produced corresponding imitations, but the accuracy was not as good as the original. Fortunately, the replicas could still be used. So Rune's strategy was to buy and manufacture at the same time.
The industrial base of Feneport and the Fusak Empire was not as good as that of Rune, so they were not successful either, and their imitations were not very good.
Only the Republic of Intis succeeded in replicating it, because they possessed demigods with the "Generalist" pathway who could handcraft machine tools.
Of course, Rune also has many followers of the "God of Steam and Machinery," but recently, for something as strategic as this, the "God of Steam" has clearly leaned more towards Intis.
The people of Rune are not stupid. They had such a strong industrial base, yet they failed to replicate it. They managed to replicate a "Pirate General" exactly the same.
Now, Rune still needs to purchase weapons from Odis. At this point, they will naturally pretend not to know that Odis is providing a large number of weapons to "Deep Sea Admiral". However, if they have the opportunity, they will definitely make a big fuss about this.
Therefore, Odis decided it was best to prepare early and take precautions in advance.
Intis's success did not affect Odis's arms business; on the contrary, orders surged, and Odis's production capacity was insufficient.
This is why Odis wanted to quickly transform Remenberg's current disorganized economic system into a form of "state capitalism"—he desperately needed a systematic arsenal to handle this immense wealth.
With Odis's involvement, by the later stages of the war, the weapons of the soldiers on all sides could definitely be upgraded from the current single-shot rifles to semi-automatic rifles.
Once everyone has semi-automatic rifles, this industry will basically reach its limit, because what will become widespread next will definitely be machine tools that can produce such weapons. In fact, as machine tools become more sophisticated, it will trigger a manufacturing revolution.
Of course, that's all in the future. Odis went to great lengths to give "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" a reasonable background.
But until now, "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" has never had the opportunity to reveal his fictional backstory!
Odis first designed a symbol in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" using the time difference there, incorporating elements of lightning, waves, and arrows. She then created items such as masks, badges, and cufflinks.
Upon returning to the real world, Odis first sought out the "Deep Sea Admiral" and instructed him and his key subordinates to begin wearing accessories featuring bows and arrows.
Then he told "Vice Admiral" Hal Constantine that he would be wearing this inscribed ornament to fight against the Loen royal family, and that he would deliberately let some enemies go, so Hal could prepare himself.
Hal was well aware that Odis was "promoting" her false background.
Fortunately, his main area of activity has never been in the waters controlled by Rune.
At the same time, he was also clear that his main preparation was to show the mark to the Fusak people during the next transaction, and let them figure out the rest themselves.
So Odis changed into a Rune-style trench coat, but underneath was an Intis-style shirt, and then put on accessories with symbols such as bows and arrows. Following spiritual guidance, he found Parada and the others.
In this situation, it's certainly not appropriate to keep following behind invisibly, as that would seem a bit deliberate.
At this point, Odis changed his appearance, hired a carriage, and traveled the same road as Parada, quickly catching up with their caravan.
Actually, rescuing people would be simple; we could just take them away. But because we have other purposes—to fight the extraordinary beings of the Rune royal family and ultimately inflict significant losses on them—we need to find an opportunity in this way.
Parada and his entourage pretended to be a family on an outing. To avoid attracting attention, they followed a merchant caravan, which was slower but more believable.
Odis instructed the coachman to follow the caravan at a leisurely pace, and during their rest, he glanced at Parada and the others a few more times. With their extraordinary spirituality, they immediately noticed Odis's gaze and were somewhat worried that Odis might have discovered their disguise.
They hadn't gone far when they saw a sentry post on the road ahead. The caravan drivers were a little surprised because there hadn't been any sentries there before.
Palada and the others forgot about Odis and became anxious about the sentry post.
That checkpoint was obviously set up for the members of Chatrensost. After a brief inspection of the convoy's vehicles, most of them were allowed to pass after receiving some gold pounds "provided" by the convoy.
When the sentries found Parada and the others' vehicle, they quickly noticed something was amiss. After all, even if their wounds could be covered by clothing, the smell of blood couldn't be hidden.
Parada and the others drew their weapons, ready to engage in battle, when suddenly a strong gust of wind blew, precisely scattering the soldiers and a few of the extraordinary ones to the sides of the road.
Many soldiers were knocked unconscious after crashing into trees, and their weapons were swept into the air, rendering them essentially incapacitated.
The members of the Trensault family were all stunned, partly because they hadn't had time to react.
Odis paid the coachman a gold pound, then leisurely approached Palladas and the others, while the coachman and the rest of the caravan sped away.
Parada and the others were on high alert, but also somewhat desperate, because in that brief moment, Odis had displayed terrifying power.
Odis approached the two carriages: "Go in the other direction."
As he spoke, he naturally opened the carriage door and sat down: "What are we waiting for? Let's go."
Parada and the others dared not resist and continued on their way with trepidation.
In the carriage where Odis was, there were Palladas and his nephew, as well as two other family members.
Parada's uncle, Mio, is the leader of these people.
He asked cautiously, "And you are?"
As soon as Odis raised his hand, the four men tensed up, and for a moment they even considered jumping out of the car.
However, Odis simply took out the magical items she had prepared beforehand and used them to treat the wounds of the four people.
This made the four of them even more puzzled. If Odis had the power, he could have easily killed them, but he didn't.
They got into their carriage and offered them assistance.
Mio, who was in his forties, added, "How can we thank you enough?"
Odis glanced at the other person and suddenly laughed: "What do you think you can offer that will interest me?"
He paused for a moment and said, "This might sound very impolite, but it's really the truth."
Mio knew the other person was talking about something, so he asked, "Then why do you want to help us?"
Odis had already come up with a solution. He took out his notebook and drew the middle-aged man with black hair and gold-rimmed glasses that he had seen in the "prophecy" about the tomb of George III.
He guessed that the middle-aged man was very likely a member of the Trensault family. As Tudor's old friend and old rival, the Trensault family had a certain probability of knowing the location of several tombs back then.
However, this guess is mainly based on "feeling". Since a clear image has been "predicted", it means that the other person will be seen in the near future and it is basically impossible to miss it.
At this very moment, the members of the Trensault family were attacked, so it is very likely that they obtained relevant intelligence from this family.
Of course, it is also possible that the relevant information was obtained from the extraordinary individuals of the Rune royal family, who were their rivals.
Regardless, Parada and the others should be able to provide some clues.
After finishing the portrait, Odis held up his notebook to the four members of the Trensost family: "Do you recognize this person?"
For a brief moment, Parada's pupils dilated and his face showed surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
His uncle Mio, aside from a fleeting glance, showed no other reaction: "I don't know him."
Odis smiled and said, "My hunch is right, this must be a member of your family."
"And as long as you travel with him, you will meet him soon. Even if you don't actively seek him out, he will come to you."
It's not hard to tell from their expressions that they are not their enemies; if they were, there would be no need to hide it like this.
When Mio heard the other person mention "family members," he knew that the other person knew his background.
But what troubled him was that he wasn't sure whether what the other person said was true or false, or whether he should trust the person in front of him.
At this moment, he noticed Odis's ornament with bow and arrow elements. He guessed that it must have special significance, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any extraordinary organization that was related to elements such as bows, arrows, and waves.
Mio thought for a moment before asking, "What do you need that gentleman for?"
"I don't really know what exactly we traded for, whether it was a book or something else," Odis said honestly.
Parada and the others looked at Odis with some strangeness, because Odis's statement made them feel that this person seemed a bit unreliable.
But Mio knew how profound the "revelation" this strange young man spoke of was; such things were said to be sometimes very vague and could only be found through spiritual guidance.
So at this point in the conversation, Mio developed a greater trust in Odis.
Odis added, "It's alright if you don't tell me. I can protect you for a while, but when you make a deal with the person I just drew, the protection I provide will be included in the deal."
As he spoke, he looked out the car window, indicating that it was okay if they didn't communicate.
Mio quickly asked, "How should I address you?"
Odis glanced at the other person: "Call me whatever you want, I'm not going to tell you my real name anyway."
Mio could only force a smile and say, "As you can probably tell, we're being chased, so be careful."
Odis hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
He wouldn't continue this pointless chat unless the other party was willing to reveal information about the middle-aged man with the gold-rimmed glasses.
Mio, Parada, and the others didn't know what to talk about for a moment, so they just sat quietly in the carriage and moved forward.
After walking for more than half an hour, a small town appeared ahead. Since it was by the roadside, it was basically a town built for travelers, with many restaurants and hotels.
Odis said to Mio and the others, "Prepare yourselves, your enemies will definitely be lying in ambush here."
The reason why Odis didn't kill Mio and the others earlier was mainly because the people on the outposts were too low-level, and there was no need to kill them.
They were also instructed to report the movements of Mio and the others to their superiors, so that the Rune royal family could send even stronger extraordinary beings to intercept them.
This time, the opponent will get at least two Sequence 5s, and there's even a certain probability of getting a demigod.
Only then could Odis inflict a serious blow on the Royal Family of Rune, making them take the matter seriously and launch an investigation.
Odis, with the symbols of a bow and arrow and waves on her body, would also come into the enemy's field of vision.
Upon entering the town, everyone immediately sensed something was amiss; the town was unusually quiet.
In typical towns like this, when tourists arrive, people will come out to solicit business, but there's not a soul on the streets, and the people in the shops are giving their carriages a very sharp look.
Odis said, "Stop the car. I'm thirsty and want to get a cup of tea."
Mio was both amused and exasperated. Did they really have to drink tea in a place like this?
Odis laughed and said, "They came for you. Do you think you can leave this town so easily?"
It's like everyone wants to be an official extraordinary person, and their reasoning is so open and aboveboard.
Even if Mio and the others noticed and turned back, they would calmly catch up, and there would definitely be someone behind them to block them.
Mio and the others had no choice but to follow Odis into a restaurant. There was only one table of customers in the restaurant, and they immediately stood up when they saw Odis and the others enter.
In no time, "customers" from the surrounding shops also gathered around.
Odis sat at a table and said to Parada, "It seems the owner isn't here. Go and make everyone a pot of tea."
Parada was very nervous, but dared not disobey Odis's wishes, so she went to the restaurant's kitchen to find a kettle and tea leaves.
He nervously brewed a pot of tea, and when he came out of the kitchen, he almost dropped the pot.
The official Extraordinary who was originally playing the role of a customer in the restaurant is dead, apparently pierced through the heart by something like a javelin.
Not only that, but there were also more than a dozen bodies lying on the ground outside the restaurant, and the rest of the people had already fled.
Standing behind Odis, Mio and the others also looked incredulous. Clearly, the dead were all killed by the mysterious young man in front of them. This surprised Parada, but at the same time, he also felt a little envious of the young man's abilities.
Mio quickly waved to Palada, signaling him to come and pour tea for Odis.
At this moment, Mio and the others were finally relieved. With the protection of this young man, they were sure they could escape from the pursuit of the Rune royal family.
Parada quickly stepped forward and poured Odis a cup of tea.
Odis took a sip of tea and glanced at Parada: "How long did it take you to advance to Sequence 8?"
Parada was taken aback, not quite understanding why the other party suddenly asked this question, and honestly replied, "2 years."
The experienced Mio, however, realized that the other person was asking about his nephew's talent as an extraordinary individual, and he quickly added, "He's mainly waiting for his extraordinary traits. He only needed half a year to advance further."
Odis nodded: "Not bad."
Mio quickly replied, "Yes, he is one of the more talented children of the new generation."
Odis did not continue the conversation, but instead looked towards the door.
A few seconds later, a solemn voice was heard from outside: "Teleportation is prohibited here!"
"Witchcraft is forbidden here!"
"It is forbidden to draw upon the power of the spirit world here!"
"Astrology is prohibited here!"
"Scrolls are prohibited here!"
Clearly, the demigod sent by the other side had guessed Odis's method from the ability he had just used, and therefore imposed a series of restrictions.
These "prohibitions" do not impose significant restrictions on extraordinary individuals who use the "arbitrator" or "lawyer" pathways, because their abilities are largely independent of the spirit world and are extraordinary abilities, not witchcraft.
Odis smiled and said, "The ability to 'prevent teleportation' is really useful."
Mio and the others couldn't laugh, because they could feel the immense pressure coming from the street outside and guessed that the person who had just used the "forbidden" ability repeatedly must be a demigod.
Odis rose slowly and said to Mio and the others, "Don't stray too far from me."
As he spoke, he walked outside, and Mio and the others quickly followed.
At this moment, the "Law Masters" of the Rune royal family were making final arrangements to attack the restaurant where Odis and the others had just been. Unexpectedly, Odis and the others came out on their own.
The moment he saw Odis, the "Law Master" suddenly felt a pang of fear. He knew, of course, that this was a spiritual warning.
He didn't have time to ponder why this guy was helping the Trensost family; his mind was now solely focused on how to escape. He also knew that fleeing now might hasten his death, so the "Law Master" reached out to Odis: "Imprison!"
He planned to take advantage of the moment when the target was trapped and immediately seek help from the angels.
The "Law Master" was confident in the "Imprisonment" ability, believing that opponents at the Sequence 3 level could be "imprisoned".
Odis did not bring his iconic items such as the "Staff of Gus" or the "Scepter of Calamity" with him this time. At this moment, his eyes were flashing with an unusual light, and a tall, illusory figure appeared in front of him.
The figure seemed to exist between reality and illusion, dressed in ancient clothing, with a very indifferent face, and some ancient and eerie blood-red tattoos on its body.
Mien and the others lowered their heads, not daring to look at the figure, feeling that just one glance would bring them the most vicious curse.
Mystery reappears: The curse of Bound God !
Although "Mysterious Reappearance" also requires drawing power from the spirit world, Odis is, after all, a Sequence 3, and can relatively easily break the opponent's "prohibition," although it will put the opponent into a "punishment" phase, where their power will increase for a short period of time.
The "Law Master" was stunned for a moment, and his "imprisonment" seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Before " Bound God "—even if it is only his phantom—a saint-level "imprisonment" would have no effect.
Because the spirit is imprisoned by the body, and his desires are imprisoned by reason, to a certain extent, this symbolizes the imprisonment of the spirit.
"Imprisonment" at the level of "Law Master" is completely ineffective.
Then, looking into the sinister eyes of " Bound God ," one could see the "Law Master."
Pfft~
The other person's heart was like a rotten tomato, crushed by a terrifying, unknown force.
Even a demigod as powerful as him would suffer a fatal injury if his heart were crushed, and would need to be treated with extraordinary abilities immediately, otherwise he would be in grave danger.
The "Law Master" wanted to escape, but he couldn't use the spirit world to teleport because "teleportation is prohibited here," and even he himself was not an exception.
The moment the phantom of " Bound God " disappeared, Odis raised his hand again, and another phantom appeared in front of the "Law Master" who was about to escape. This figure was more solid than the previous one, wearing a black robe with a southern continent style, and had a face that resembled that of a southern continent person.
Its appearance immediately evoked a chilling aura, as if one's entire soul had been immersed in ice.
In the next instant, everyone present below the level of demigod seemed to recall their most terrifying memories—a fear that came from the depths of their souls, a fear shared by all humanity: the fear of death!
Mystery Reappears: The Whispers of the God of the Dead!
Although Odis is currently unable to "reproduce" an existence at the level of a true god, he can "reproduce" the time when the true god was still the King of Angels.
For example, the "Emperor of the Underworld" was the "God of the Dead" for a long time, with power comparable to the eight "Angel Kings" of the "Ancient Sun God," and even stronger than the "Angel Kings" who did not have a unique identity.
The phantom of the "God of the Dead" then uttered a soft whisper that no living person could understand. The "Law Master" who was closest to the phantom immediately turned pale and fell to the ground. His spirit body had been severely damaged.
As the figure of the "God of the Dead" disappeared, several royal extraordinary beings who were not far away also fell to the ground. Their spirits had gone to the underworld, and their bodies had turned into physical forms.
Even Mio and the others behind Odis felt a tightness in their chests, a sense of impending doom.
Odis quickly stepped forward, raised his right hand, and a ball of illusory stardust appeared in his palm. A giant pillar of starlight descended from the sky and struck the struggling "Law Master." Amidst the opponent's unwilling cries, his body was rapidly disintegrated by the starlight.
Mio and the others looked at Odis with a mixture of admiration and fear.
Just now in the restaurant, Odis easily killed so many of their opponents, and they finally understood that this young man was a demigod.
But they never expected that this young man would kill his opponent, who was at the demigod level, so easily!
Several other extraordinary members of the royal family, upon witnessing Odis's terrifying power, immediately turned and fled.
Odis did not give chase. Instead, he used magic to quickly extract the extraordinary properties of the place. After collecting these properties, he said to Mio and the others, "Let's go and continue on our way."
Mio seemed to snap out of his daze: "Quick, quick, bring the carriage over here."
Then, Mio respectfully invited Odis to get into the carriage. After the carriage left the town, Mio said, "Sir, the portrait you showed us earlier is of Marco, an important member of our family."
"He is currently being hunted by the Royal Family of Ruen, and it is difficult to contact him in the short term."
To be precise, Marco was in charge of this operation. Usually, if they encounter an ambush, the family members would disappear for a period of time after escaping, and then use some backup contact methods to contact the family members again.
Odis slowly nodded and said, "As I said before, it doesn't matter if you can't find him. I'll go with them, and we might run into him."
He paused for a moment, then added, "However, we can't continue down this path now. A demigod of the Loen royal family has died."
It's very likely to attract the attention of angels.
Odis can now easily kill a Sequence 4, and few Sequence 3s are his match, but when faced with an angel who has undergone a qualitative change, he still has to run when necessary.
So he "recreated" the Kunpeng, and amidst the neighing of horses and the screams of the coachman and passengers, he quickly moved to the Tuckwell Plain, which was hundreds of kilometers away from Pulitzer Port, and could be said to have completely escaped the royal encirclement.
Mio marveled at Odis's amazing abilities, but only received a slight smile from Odis in return.
The carriage then ran for two or three hours on a wide, straight road without encountering Marco.
Odis showed no impatience and clearly intended to continue following them.
By this time, both the horses and the people in the two carriages were exhausted. When they passed through a small town, Mio suggested that they rest there for the night and asked Odis for his opinion.
Odis smiled and said, "You can decide for yourselves. Don't worry about my opinion."
He tried his best to avoid interfering with the decisions made by Mio and others.
So the group found a hotel, and while they were checking in, Odis's spiritual senses suddenly seemed to be working, and she looked toward the door.
Two seconds later, a middle-aged man with a pale face and black hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, entered. It was Marco, whom Odis had seen in the prophecy.
The other person also sensed Odis's gaze, looked up and met Odis's eyes, then turned to walk away.
Mio also saw Marco and quickly called out to him, "Sir! Outside—has the wind picked up?"
This is a family code word, indicating that everything is safe.
Of course, this only means everything is safe if two family members who know each other say this; if they don't know each other, it has the opposite meaning.
Furthermore, to avoid being asked the same question by passersby, one of the words must be said twice.
Marco then noticed Mio and the others. Although he remained wary, he did not continue to leave.
So Mio rented a conference room at the hotel, introduced Odis to Marco, and briefly described their encounter.
Marco breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the other party had easily killed one of the royal "law mages," because he himself was a "law mages," and the other party had enough time to strike first during their encounter in the hall.
In other words, if the other party is an enemy, he is already dead.
