Chapter 224: Utilizing and Counter-Utilizing_2
This has led the other four countries to support East and West Monet to some extent, so that they do not become subservient to other races.
Although life is a bit difficult now, they have managed to get through the most dangerous time and are rapidly growing.
"Although East and West Monet both think of one day annexing the other to achieve unification."
"But what's the deal with this legendary figure named Caesar?"
"The intelligence department couldn't find any trace of his existence at all, the earliest record just shows he appeared directly in the Tino City Adventure Guild, becoming a member of the Moonlight Cat Cat Group."
"But never mind that..."
"That's not important, this person is most likely the princess's Guardian!"
Akam shook his head.
He seemed to smell the smoke of war.
After exchanging information with various parties, Akam said:
"I'm sorry for keeping you confined in Lokeshi during this time. It's indeed impolite. If you are willing, you can take a tour inside Lokeshi next."
"We'd be happy to provide some assistance."
Louis shook his head:
"No need, let's leave this matter here for now. Later, we will have specialized personnel to liaise with you on such matters."
He wanted to go back to Ense.
He had wandered outside long enough.
Of course, the main point was, he missed that person a bit.
...
Once Louis and his group left, a hooded Wanderer appeared silently beside Akam.
"Caesar noticed me."
Akam calmly said, "Noticing is quite normal, after all, he is a powerful legend."
"His aura seems off, the legendary power was most likely elevated by external means," the Wanderer whispered.
Akam chuckled:
"Does it matter? His daily actions aren't affected at all, meaning that this method comes at a bearable cost for him."
"Are you willing to gamble on whether he can still exert legendary power?"
"No, or rather... considering his unbelievable swordsmanship, without a doubt, he's another Sword Saint. I'm certain he's definitely not that old Kulin."
The hooded Wanderer sighed:
"You're right, it doesn't matter anymore. If he can exert legendary level power at all times, treating him as a legend is not an issue."
Akam gently tapped his fingertips, suddenly saying:
"Number 404, do you think I'm a cautious person?"
Wanderer 404 said seriously:
"No doubt about it, otherwise, the one in your position now should be me, not you."
Akam nodded and said:
"Caesar's true identity is quite famous, or rather, once exposed, he's easily recognizable."
"Moreover, he is most likely very young, unfathomably young. Keep an eye on the top talents in Ense."
"Prioritize those with high status and good looks."
Number 404 said: "Then there's no need to investigate all of Ense. The most famous one is the empire's wise Prince Louis."
Akam nodded:
"He is a major suspect."
Number 404 said calmly:
"But Lord Akam, why are you so certain that Caesar is Louis?"
Akam chuckled softly:
"Have you heard of the Faceless Man?"
404 was taken aback: "The necromancy high-risk entity Faceless Man?"
"The one that, once it possesses a corpse, can inherit the appearance of the deceased, and even their power."
"The legendary high-risk entity that makes everyone think it is the deceased itself?"
Akam said thoughtfully:
"Yes, the Faceless Man is a special entity, though it's a necromancy entity."
"But they can reproduce and also have a family concept."
"As for those born from corpses, let's leave them aside."
"Those new Faceless Men born through natural reproduction, since they do not yet possess the ability to replicate the power of corpses, their parents would peel their own faces to place on them."
"They pretend to be human until they fully mature and are eligible to hunt."
404 asked: "What does this have to do with Caesar?"
Akam chuckled softly:
"You said Caesar first appeared at the Tino City Adventure Guild?"
404 said: "Yes, why?"
Akam smiled and said: "Then that's interesting. If you trace his entrance into the Adventure Guild and investigate the now-famous figures in Ense at that time?"
"Link that with those who are young, famous, and previously weak, who are now likely famous and even incredibly strong, you can basically pinpoint the target."
404 scratched his head in frustration and said: "Akam, can you explain more clearly? What is the basis for your determination?"
Akam laughed heartily:
"I told you, I'm a meticulous person. An unknown legend, how is that even possible!"
"Given my personality, I would try every means to trace the truth from clues, and I would never sloppily say 'never mind'."
Seeing 404's bewilderment, Akam laughed nonchalantly:
"What magic is it that guides others to ignore one's existence?"
"Does it only affect me?"
"Or does it mislead everything related to the person?"
"If it's the latter... this power might be too strong!"
"Is it related to a god?"
"Related to a top Demon Lord?"
"Or those demon bosses?"
"Or... a major sin that is close to maturing?"
Akam smiled contentedly, stroking his chin:
"The world surely loves Ense!"
