None of the refugees from before knew how to read.
The young man only knew they called their territory the Ell Kingdom and that he was forced to flee their hometown because of the war. They knew sparingly about other information.
He didn’t even know how he came to the desert of death.
The value that the information could bring was mind-boggling.
“Will, how did you come to the desert of death?”
The middle-aged man said in horror.
“I was hiding from the rebels when I suddenly felt dizzy. When I opened my eyes again, I found that my surroundings had turned into a desert.”
Karu frowned when he heard the same answer as the others. He gave up on asking questions.
He changed the topic.
“Do you know that you are no longer on your plane? The place where you are now is the primary plane.”
Will said bitterly.
“Master, I just heard…”
He looked up at the colorful sky as he spoke.
“Legend has it that our plane once had a spatial passageway with the primary plane. Something must have broken the spatial passageway, and from there on, we could no longer travel through it. Speaking of which, it’s strange. Those rebel soldiers are searching for Her Highness!”
His eyes revealed a hint of contemplation as he spoke. Then, his expression changed as if he recalled something.
Master Karu sensed the change in the young man’s emotions.
He stared at him and said in a deep voice.
“Will, what are you thinking?”
Will said in a trembling voice.
“The rebels released news that they wanted to capture the princess. The princess went to the forbidden area of Ell Kingdom.”
Master Karu couldn’t understand.
“The forbidden area of the Ell Kingdom? What was inside? What does it have to do with you refugees suddenly appearing here?”
Will quickly explained.
“There’s a legend about the Ell Royal Family. I couldn’t guarantee if it’s true or not.”
“Speak.”
“Yes, Master.”
Will organized his thoughts and said, “The royal family of Ell has an ancient summoning array that can summon 100-meter-tall giants.”
“Giants played a crucial role when they established the Ell Kingdom. Statues of giants filled in the kingdom’s city.”
The young man paused before he continued.
“Also, the troop rebel’s announcement is about a passage to the primary plane in the forbidden area of Ell Kingdom. They have offered a very high reward. One receives the title of Earl who could find that passage!”
Envy shrouded his eyes.
He was an Earl, a noble. He couldn’t obtain an Earl even if he worked for ten lifetimes.
Back then, it was precisely because the rewards were too generous that he took a few more glances.
“You mean, it was the princess who escaped into the forbidden land of Ell Kingdom and opened the space passage to the primary plane, which is how you came to us?”
Master Karu carefully observed his expression.
Will nodded.
“This is only my guess, Master…However, such a situation had never happened in millions of years. It happened after the rebel troop issued an announcement.
“It’s hard for me not to connect these two things.”
Karu turned to Gunter.
Gunter nodded slowly.
“The soul aura is normal.”
Karu then withdrew his gaze.
“In your opinion, will there be more similar situations in the future? Could the Ell Kingdom establish a fixed space passage with the primary plane?”
Will’s expression turned bitter.
The spatial passageway that connected to the primary plane concerned the entire country. How could the young man not know?
“Master, I am only a low-level civil official. I could not know any information beyond that of a commoner. I cannot make a judgment on these matters.”
Karu pondered and was convinced. Gunter confirmed the young man wasn’t lying, and Karu no longer delved into this issue.
He changed the topic.
“What’s going on with the rebellion in the Ell Kingdom?”
The current situation in Twilight City is very delicate. It was very likely that the unfamiliar plane would suddenly open a spatial passageway to the desert of death due to the deluge of refugees.
At that time, no one could be sure what would happen.
He had to learn more about the situation so that he could make a response in advance.
Will said slowly, “The Ell Kingdom has a legendary top figure, the Raging Blood Duke.
“This duke has a colorful experience. He joined the troop at 12 and made countless contributions in his sixties this year. Most of the soldiers in the Ell Kingdom were his subordinates.
“This also led to the duke’s great prestige and authority after he broke through to a distinguished state.
“When the king personally conquered the abyssal chasm, the Raging Blood Duke chose to betray and murder the king.
“That wiped the royal family of Ell out. And only the two young princesses escaped into the forbidden area of the royal family of Ell.”
In a few words, Will repeated the general situation.
Karu’s expression wasn’t good, although the history was simple.
Transcendents.
This keyword reminded him of the land of quicksand. It is still their territory.
Blood shrouded Twilight City in that battle and slaughtered 70% of the troop.
An unknown transcendent, whether a friend or a foe, could appear unknowingly.
Moreover, the other party ruled a kingdom with a population of ten million.
Judging from his rebellious behavior, the other party was not a person who would keep his place.
Such missions often had a strong inclination.
The other party had also offered a high price for a spatial passageway to the primary plane.
He must have some thoughts about the primary plane.
They were foes, not friends.
Master Karu immediately made a judgment.
