Chapter 125: Redd's Hunting Season
"Your Excellency, the prairie is sparsely populated. Even if we cover all major kingdoms and duchies, the entire Northern Territory has only about ten million people. Moreover, there are quite a few believers of the White Wolf God on the prairie, although it is a Wild God... but it does have some offspring equivalent to Sigma Order (18)."
Ranmalock explained:
"If the purpose is to expand the population, heading south and east might be more appropriate."
"I would like that, but the Crown Prince of Oxiulia doesn't have that capability. It will take fifteen years for him to grow up—though I know this is already the fastest method, but the Starry Abyss People are, after all, the Starry Abyss People, and their thinking is inherently limited."
Rednaya took a sip of hot wine and pondered:
"If only his strength could grow faster..."
At this moment, Ranmalock volunteered:
"Your Excellency, I think I might be able to assist you in solving your difficulties."
Rednaya glanced at him: "Speak."
"To deal with the Sodanland Tribe, the general took Nato to Broadwater Beach to find a Golden Dragon and hunt it."
"Golden Dragon? Where would a Golden Dragon come from within the Border Abyss?"
Rednaya wondered:
"If it came from the Layer Abyss, it's been over ten years of silent disconnection. The curse should have adapted, and its power should be fully unleashed. How dare a nomadic general challenge the Upper Dragon Clan?"
"I instigated it. In fact, that Golden Dragon is far more formidable than you think."
Ranmalock said proudly:
"If you are in a hurry to cultivate the Crown Prince's abilities, Nato would be a very suitable candidate."
"Hmm... you're quite considerate."
Rednaya looked at the liquid in the jade cup and said:
"However, I'm not convenient to come forward personally, you also need to continue lurking and monitoring the Northern Territory. How to contact that Golden Dragon is still a problem, and merely having Nato, even if he brings a few Cauchy (14) rank samurai, it's not enough. A samurai who wants to grow rapidly must either accumulate experience through constant combat or take guidance from an excellent martial master."
Thinking of this, Rednaya couldn't help but show an expression of disdain:
"Tsk, that guy Leoz actually has no Talent whatsoever, before completing the Pathway, he can only use the [Destroyer] Pathway temporarily."
Speaking of which, Leoz has always seemed to be the kind of person without Talent. When first meeting him among the grand deities like mountain peaks, Leoz was as small as a dwarf.
Could it be the limitations of a cannon fodder deity? Having reincarnated twice, this guy always manages to find bodies without Talent.
Well, those could be overlooked... but Leoz chose the [Destroyer] Pathway, which she completely doesn't understand.
The reason for choosing to steal the history of the [Raiding] Pathway Main God was mainly because this Pathway complemented her abilities and required no learning of any knowledge application.
For the other five great pathways of Starry Abyss, Starry Abyss has set a protection mechanism in this regard. Apart from the [Scholar] Lyle who barely understood it after much effort, ordinary [Society] citizens cannot comprehend it.
After all, the knowledge of Starry Abyss is different from their understanding on Earth.
As for martial techniques, combat Experience, these things could have originally been bestowed upon Leoz using the Speaker's Strength.
But her main body is still in repair, and she can't utilize it at all.
[The situation is worse than imagined, it was indeed correct to come forward early.]
She even had to dismantle the Divine Sword Veilue, merging its Fragments into Leoz's soul to anchor her connection with Leoz.
What kind of help Starry Abyss provided Leoz and these deities, Rednaya doesn't know, but it seems more like auxiliary support to enhance growth potential, without explicit guidance.
[Destroyer] Pathway, which Rednaya completely doesn't understand, Leoz's own [Sovereign] Pathway is still merging.
[That guy Leoz doesn't actually think he can live peacefully for fifteen years without the need for combat, does he?]
Rednaya looked darkly.
[No, I won't allow you to get comfortable, before accomplishing our goals, you can't find happiness, I won't permit you leisure, you must strive to become stronger with all your might, even if it's an unfinished [Destroyer] Pathway, I'll forge you into the strongest existence...]
It seemed to see Rednaya's worries, Ranmalock thought for a moment and said:
"If the Crown Prince is seeking teachings of the [Destroyer] Pathway, it's not entirely unfeasible... it just might be a bit complicated."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Actually, this matter ties somewhat with the Golden Dragon."
Ranmalock explained:
"From years of monitoring, I've observed that the Golden Dragon Monk fell into the Border Abyss a year before the silent disconnection occurred, but he appeared as a deep-cultivated [Martial Monk], nearly assimilated by the Starry Abyss, so I didn't pay much attention."
"Get to the point." Rednaya said impatiently.
"Until a few days later, a vicious evil aura came here too—in the Barbaric Lands southeast of Oxiulia, within a certain wild Underwater Abyss Port, an Evil God emerged, not stopping for a moment, and floated upward towards the Layer Abyss... about a year later, the Evil God was forcibly driven down, only to encounter the Golden Dragon Monk, and for some reason, they fought fiercely, attempting to float upward—soon after, they were driven down by the entrenched [Society] above."
Ranmalock continued:
"If I am not mistaken, this should be the [Woman of Depravity] Lievice, who was demoted to an Evil God as early as the mid-stage of the Underwater Abyss War."
"I have the impression."
Rednaya nodded:
"I saw her a thousand years ago when descending to the Mass Abyss, that woman long guarded one of the ultimate pathways, [Demonic Hunter] of [Destroyer], many Ascenders hoped to defeat her and seize her Godhood. Let me think... about four hundred years ago, she was still being challenged, many considered her a whetstone for refining martial arts—even the Void's [Twilight Duke] challenged her."
"How did it go?"
"989 wins, 7 draws, 12 no results, 2 losses."
Rednaya said:
"That woman is indeed strong, but even as an Evil God— repeatedly bearing the curse of three layers of Starry Abyss to climb—no, she floated up and down between Layer Abyss and Border Abyss three times, totaling six layers of curses."
Rednaya curled her lips:
"She really is a crazy woman, her strength has been weakened to even less than a Demigod— at best, Kappa Rank (10) strength?"
"Moreover, Lievice is currently planning another ascent, she recently tried to find a wild Underwater Abyss Port, but was driven away by the entrenched [Society]."
"Fool." Rednaya bluntly: "If I were her, I'd hibernate for a few hundred years, wait for all the curses to dissipate and then say something."
"But..."
She shifted the tone, speaking with a smile:
"Thanks to her foolishness, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to provide Leoz with supplements."
Ranmalock nodded:
"I've already conveyed the information about Lievice and the Golden Dragon Monk to you, enjoy yourself, Your Excellency."
"Well done, Ranmalock, go find Arthur and claim your gift later."
Rednaya, in a great mood, stood up, donned the Feather felt hat, her expression instantly becoming serious and proper:
"However, this time it's not play."
