Mike was not idle either. He gathered all the deputy City Lords and shared the information that Leah had brought to them.

“Everyone, please share your opinions.”

“I’ll go first.” Acilio looked at Mike, “I’ve interacted with Maria for a period of time, so I know this person quite well. This person is quite conceited. Since she allowed this information to flow into the Northern Region, she naturally has her own considerations. However, it’s best to be careful. This person can travel back and forth with the Dark Magi. She’s definitely not an ordinary person.”

Mike looked at him and asked, “Do you have anything to say?”

He sighed and said to Mike, “I do have a few words.”

!!

“Please speak.”

He said, “Actually, Maria should not be in the empress’s position. Do you all know about this?”.

“Please tell us in detail.”

He cleared his throat and said, “It is said that the original emperor should have been her younger brother, but for some reason, before the old emperor died, she changed the will and pa.s.sed the position to herself. Her younger brother was so angry that he defected.”

When Mike heard this, he thought of Maria who wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the dragon head.

He asked, “How many princes are there in the imperial palace now?”

When he said this, everyone looked at him with a strange expression.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

Little Jerry explained, “All the princes in the imperial palace are princes with different surnames. They only have the t.i.tle of a prince, but they are not princes.”

Hearing this, Mike was shocked. He asked, “Did the Ruler only have one brother since he was young?”

He took over the topic and said to him, “No, we were born in the same era as Maria. Before she took the throne, she had more than ten brothers, but for some reason, after Maria defected, those brothers all died mysteriously.”

Hearing that, Mike’s heart trembled. He immediately understood that what Maria said might not be all lies. This Ruler is actually so ruthless!”

Mike looked at the aurora in the distance and frowned.

He said to everyone, “First, seal the news. Pretend that nothing happened. Let’s see what the Ruler will do next.”

Everyone nodded. This was indeed the wisest choice at the moment. If they were to act rashly, the consequences might not be as good as they had imagined.

Mike frowned. He left the meeting room and the Dragon Castle.

He flew across the snowy plains. He was going to find Maria and ask her in person what kind of person the Ruler is.

After half a day, Mike finally found Maria, and she asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

Mike told Maria about the Ruler’s injury and asked, “What do you think of this?”

Maria smiled disdainfully and said, “What else can I think of? Anyone with a brain wouldn’t believe such a thing. The wolves in the Otherworld are surrounding him. If he is really injured, his adopted brothers will tear him apart together.”

Mike nodded and asked, “Is the Ruler really as you said, sacrificing his father and brother alive?”

Maria frowned. He looked at Mike and asked, “Do you have anything else? If there’s nothing else, please go back.”

Mike nodded and said, “Then I’m leaving. You must not let it come true in the end, or else I won’t be able to resist killing you.”

Mike turned around and left, leaving only Maria behind.

“What a terrifying insight. How strong is this person’s spiritual power? His physical body is strong, and his spiritual power isn’t weak either. He also has a dimensional treasure like the dragon head. Who can fight against this high-level summoner?”

Maria’s pupils constricted. She looked at Mike’s back with deep fear in her eyes.

Mike had returned to the Dragon Castle. He was ready to go into seclusion. The last time he used the Dragon Flash on Maria, he had almost used up all the Holy Dragon Essence in the dragon head. If he did not replenish it in time, the Holy Dragon Essence in the enchantment would be depleted.

Mike found Little Jerry and asked him to be in charge of everything in the Dragon Castle. As for the Gnome Dwarves moving into the Dragon Castle, it was up to him to decide.

After Mike finished explaining everything, he went into seclusion.

A month pa.s.sed, but Mike did not go to the Otherworld. The Ruler did not say anything else, which made people wonder if he was already dead. They knew that a few days ago, a duke had offended the Ruler and openly said something that offended him. After the Ruler killed him with lightning, all the voices of doubt disappeared.

“Hmph, they are all a bunch of cowards. They only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong.”

The Guardian laughed. “Everyone is like this. There aren’t many people like Mike.”

The Ruler nodded and said, “But speaking of which, Mike is really cunning. I’m already like this, yet he still doesn’t move.”

The Guardian said, “You shouldn’t have acted and pretended to be injured.”

The Ruler frowned and said, “I’m not going to make a move? If I don’t make a move, they will come to the mausoleum tomorrow and see if I’ve already laid down in the coffin prepared for me. If I’m not inside, they will make a move together and stuff me in.”

Hearing this, the Guardian nodded and said, “These few days, I discovered quite a few dark and cold divine level auras, but I chased them away.”

The Ruler said, “There’s no need to think about it. Those are all Dark Magi. They want to test me. If there are any more of those, don’t hesitate and just kill them.”

The Guardian did not say anything and merely nodded indifferently.

Dark Magi…

The Spider Castle Lord stood on top of a tall mountain and looked into the distance. Behind him stood four figures, and the Guardian was among them.

Spider Castle Lord pointed into the distance and said, “The Central Plains city is 30,000 miles away. Do you think we can reach there this year?”

Three of the four nodded, and only the Guardian shook his head.

Spider Castle Lord said helplessly, “Guardian, don’t ruin my reputation every time.”

Guardian shook his head and said, “Not really. I just state the truth.”

The Spider Castle Lord sighed and said, “Alright, let’s get down to business. We have to bring forward our attack power. The four of you don’t have any undead aura on you. I order you to quickly sneak into Central Plains City and prepare for our follow-up team. If you don’t have any missions, you can just hide. Do you understand?”

Everyone nodded.

“The three of you can go. Guardian, stay here. I have something to say to you.”

The other three turned into streaks of light and flew away. Only the Guardian was left standing beside the Spider Castle Lord.

The Spider Castle Lord said to the Guardian, “Guardian, I have something to say to you. When you see Mike, don’t confront him directly. When you see him, just retreat and keep retreating. Do your best to ensure your own safety.”

The Guardian nodded and said, “I’ll remember it.”
