NOVEL NEXT Chapter 155: Start the Research on Yepera!
Thinking about this, Natalia looked at Logan with a complicated expression.
Even Lucia and Sophia looked disappointed for a moment, but they quickly recovered.
Logan looked at the three of them and knew how hard this news was for them. He spoke up: "Maybe you don't need human belief power to reach the Saint stage.
A few people turned their attention to Logan and gave him a suspicious look.
Logan cleared his throat and said: "You remember that skeleton under Star Lake? If we activate all the Rune Arrays on it, we can absorb its original power and reach the Saint stage."
After hearing Logan's explanation, the others' eyes lit up.
It was possible that the remains of a Demigod familiar still held some of its original power inside.
This kind of power was very strong and could easily be used to create a Saint stage familiar tamer.
Logan saw the hope in their eyes and warned, "But the skeleton has thousands of Rune Arrays on it. Most of them are way beyond what our human federation knows. Studying them all could take a long time."
But Logan's words didn't stop Natalia's excitement.
She stood up and said with determination: "So what? Becoming a Saint isn't easy. If studying those Rune Arrays is the way to reach the Saint stage, then we'll finish our current tasks and go into seclusion."
Sophia and Lucia nodded silently. "We'll collect all the books and treasures about runes from the Genius Training Camp and take them to Star Lake. Once this session is over, we'll go into seclusion."
Natalia thought for a moment and frowned. "I guess I'll have to go back to Twilight City and hand over the City Lord title to someone else."
The group talked it over and quickly agreed.
For the next three months, they each handled their own business.
After three months, Logan finished the internal war in the Genius Training Camp and passed the Supernova test. Then the three of them set off together to Star Lake for a retreat, and also to watch over Logan's place.
At this, Logan suddenly stopped. "You mean you're joining the Red Flower Guild?"
Natalia glared at him and said, "Who wants to join your stupid Red Flower Guild? We're joining the Fourth Power Department of the Human Federation—the Office of Inspection!"
Sophia looked at Logan and smiled. "Logan, are you hooked on being a familiar tamer guild leader? The leader of the guild is even less important than a city administrator."
Logan laughed and smiled, not taking it seriously at all.
Having three Legend-level familiar tamers join his side was exactly what he wanted.
Whether it was the Office of Inspection or the Red Flower Guild didn't matter. What mattered was that they were now part of his group.
This meant that behind Logan stood three Legend-level warriors. Now, when he faced enemies, he'd feel much more confident.
So, Logan took the three women back to Star Lake and led them to the underground area, where Yepera's skeleton lay.
Seeing the huge skeleton again, the group still felt shocked.
This kind of shock wasn't even felt when looking at the Blood Tree. Yepera must have been super strong when he was alive.
Lucia looked around and said, "Logan, we need to keep improving the defenses and secrecy here. The whole lake area needs to be built up."
Sophia nodded. "Right. From now on, the main hall of the lake can't be entered by just anyone. This is very important. We need to make this place a restricted area."
Natalia agreed. "The main hall of the lake needs to have rune arrays. No one except us and people close to you can come here. This will be the final defense zone of the Office of Inspection."
Logan saw that the girls cared more than he did, so he happily left everything to them.
He left Kerparos behind and joined the three girls to plan the rune arrays for the main hall of the lake.
Then he called in Yelena, Sawako, and Jessica. He told them to take charge of building and developing the main hall and the shores of Star Lake.
As for Evelynna, Logan gave her twenty-eight space rings filled with monster remains and valuable supplies.
He wanted Evelynna to exchange the supplies for Federation currency and buy building materials for the Star Lake base.
For the labor needed, he used Red Flower Guild agents and the Black Ant Army.
So, Logan left Kerparos, four Golden Ant Kings, and forty thousand Black Ants to help the girls build Star Lake.
As for himself, he took Fischl to an old military base 1,000 kilometers away from Saint Heart City.
As soon as they entered the base, they were stopped by a lot of Slimes.
Vincent was sitting on a tree stump, smoking a cigar and smiling at Logan and Fischl.
"You brought back how many Slimes?" Fischl frowned, not understanding Vincent's actions. There were at least 700 Slimes in front of them.
Vincent blew out a smoke ring and then threw a handful of beans on the ground. "Not many. Just over ten thousand."
Then, Vincent waved his hand, and suddenly a group of blue Slimes appeared behind him. They opened their mouths and sprayed water onto the ground.
The beans hit the water and quickly grew, turning into new Slimes of different colors.
Seeing Vincent create so many Slimes like magic, even Fischl looked surprised. "What are you making all of them for?" she asked.
Vincent smiled and turned to Logan. "Don't underestimate Logan. He can summon tens of thousands of Black Ants anytime. If I bring only a few, he'll think I'm cheap."
Then, Vincent stood up and walked right up to Logan. He blew a smoke ring and gently patted Logan's shoulder. "There are ten thousand Slimes in the base. How many you can bond depends on your skills. I'll take Fischl and leave now."
With that, Vincent grabbed Fischl's sleeve and the two of them disappeared from the center of the base.
Ten kilometers away from the base, Vincent and Fischl used Flash twice to find a quiet spot.
Click!
Vincent lit a lighter and lit another cigarette, blowing out a cloud of smoke.
Fischl looked at Vincent with a look of disgust. "I've told you so many times—stay away from me when you smoke."
Vincent smiled and stepped back a few steps, taking another puff.
Fischl looked back at the base, worried. "Do you think he can bond a lot of Slimes?"
Vincent shrugged. "It depends on his luck. I and you were both tested by the same trick before. Now it's his turn."
Fischl rolled her eyes. "Ten thousand Slimes are just a trick. They're all just copies of one Slime."
Vincent smiled and nodded. "You're right. All my Slimes, your Slimes, and even these—they all come from one original."
"So, how many Slimes Logan can bond depends on how many Slimes he can free from their original body. This isn't about testing the familiar tamer's space or their soul power. It's about whether the tamer truly respects their familiar as an equal."
"Put simply, if Logan treats the Slimes like people, they will give him more in return." Vincent looked at Fischl and said, "I know it's hard for you, Your Highness. You don't even see yourself as a person..."
Boom!
Before Vincent could finish, Fischl summoned Death God Anubis and kicked him.
Vincent felt Anubis's deadly energy and quickly backed down, not saying a word.
Back at the old base, Logan looked at the Slimes around him.
He noticed the Slimes were also looking at him curiously.

After seeing this info, Logan's happy mood suddenly turned cold.
Thank goodness he had that special ability to see familiar details. Otherwise, he would have been tricked.
