After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Is there some misunderstanding in Chapter 745?
Kaiser led Yu Xia through the outer platform corridor and into the main hall of the Dragon's Breath Hall.

The moment Yu Xia stepped into the hall, her pupils dilated slightly, and she felt a tremor from the bottom of her heart.

She had visited the Dragon Guard Tower and witnessed its grandeur. She had also seen similar dragon-themed buildings in the dreamlike memories passed down to her by her mother.

However, none of this can compare to the awe-inspiring experience of actually being there.

The interior of this hall is astonishingly spacious and tall; even sentries who are taller than average appear as tiny as ants within it.

Yu Xia's hazy memories of the past in the illusion overlapped with what she saw and was in at this moment, as if from another world.

Beneath her feet was a smooth, jet-black obsidian floor. Upon closer inspection, the floor wasn't entirely black; it seemed to contain gold dust, shimmering with tiny sparkles under the light, making it quite beautiful.

Looking around, she saw a dozen tall black stone pillars supporting the top of the hall. The pillars were decorated with murals carved in gold, including familiar golden trees and dragons, while golden flowers were carved on almost every pillar.

Golden flowers bloom brightly at the base of the stone pillars, or flutter from above.

The secrets of the gold are laid bare in this Dragon's Breath Hall.

Yu Xia looked up at the high top, which was inlaid with unknown gemstones that shone like stars.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and these stars have not lost their luster.

“Isn’t it beautiful here?” Catherine said from the side. “When I first came here, I was also amazed by the greatness and creativity of the builders, who were able to build such a magnificent and beautiful palace.”

Such architecture would be awe-inspiring even in today's interstellar age.

Even from this hall alone, one can glimpse traces of the prosperity of the golden age.

Looking at the shimmering stars above, Yu Xia murmured softly, "The dragon's lair was built by the dragon."

Catherine smiled at her, and said meaningfully, "It's not just dragons, but also other races that participated in the construction."

The Dragon Tribe's current architecture is similar in style to Obsidian City, but Obsidian City is more magnificent and beautiful, bearing traces of a past era, which the Dragon Tribe cannot compare to now.

After hearing what Catherine said, Yu Xia glanced at him.

In the palace Charles prepared for her, and in the place where Cather and the others were now staying, she discovered that the buildings were both rugged and exquisite, and had a dragon-like style.

Yu Xia remembered that Obsidian City also had another name—Golden Deputy Capital.

During the golden age, dragons were always by the side of gold, their relationship as close as that of a god and his apostle.

These buildings must have been designed and constructed with the help of the Golden Clan, which is why they appear rugged and magnificent on the outside, while being simple yet exquisite on the inside.

She had also heard Calleyet mention the distinctive architecture of the Dragon Clan, with almost every Dragon Clan outpost having a Dragon Breath Hall.

The hall follows some ancient Long family traditions and is only used on major holidays or important occasions.

However, the ancient traditions and rituals of the Dragon family have now become a symbol of the Dragon family. Even the Golden Clan, which the dragons used to serve like gods, has become legends and unspeakable secrets under the erosion of time.

At this moment, Yu Xia stood here and saw the secret of the gold exposed to the world.

However, the dragon was not by the gold's side; instead, there was only a group of human sentinels whose desires had been amplified by corruption.

Yu Xia heard rustling voices around her. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few sentries scattered around the hall. Some were alone, while others were gathered in twos and threes, talking in hushed tones.

As she entered the hall, the sentries' gazes turned toward her, some subtly and others directly.

Yu Xia keenly and clearly sensed the thoughts they had for her in their eyes.

They knew who she was.

Yu Xia lowered her eyes and looked at her long platinum hair that fell to her chest.

She made no attempt to conceal her aura and spiritual power, nor did Catherine intend to help her do so.

He brought her here specifically to show these sentries.

Standing in this hall, Yu Xia could see the desires and ambitions of every sentinel.

Just glimpsing a corner of the Golden Clan's past glory was enough to stir their hearts. The desires in their hearts were as if ignited by dragon flames. The raging fire of desire could not be extinguished like ordinary flames. It would only be extinguished when they were burned to ashes.

Cather put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him, as if asserting his ownership.

Under the watchful eyes of the sentries in the hall, Yu Xia was led forward by Kather.

The sentries' lustful aura made Yu Xia feel nauseous.

She felt as if she were stuck in a muddy, foul-smelling swamp, her steps faltering and her breathing becoming labored.

Cather held Yu Xia's shoulders, seemingly showing her care, but in reality, she didn't allow her to refuse, and sat her down at the obsidian table in the middle of the hall.

"I'll just go to the side; it'll disturb your work." Yu Xia tried to get up, but Cather pressed her down again.

Under everyone's gaze, Cather kissed her cheek. "How could this be?"

He whispered in her ear, "Did you remember what I told you before we came out?"

Yu Xia glanced nervously at the sentries around her and nodded.

By this time, most of the sentries had taken their seats at the long table. They were dressed differently from the ordinary sentries and looked like high-ranking members of some faction. She recognized a few of them.

The sentries kept looking her over, their gazes filled with surprise, doubt, contemplation, and amusement.

"Young Master," a sentry with a buzz cut said, "where did you find this beautiful guide?"

“A guide?” The sentry sitting opposite him gave him a mocking look. “I think you’re blind. You don’t even recognize Ivy.”

"Not blind, just ignorant."

The crew-cut sentry's smile froze as he was mocked.

"Ivy?" He brazenly scrutinized Yu Xia's face. "Could this be the one His Highness Darren is looking for?"

It's no secret that Darren wants a certain Ivy; he asks Kather almost every day, practically holding a knife to his throat.

However, they didn't know which one it was.

The excessively beautiful Ivy in front of them was not one of the people they knew.

The sentries present were all in high positions. After forming an opposing camp to the Holy City Sea Clan, the Holy City was no longer a mysterious and untouchable entity to them. They had every piece of information about Ivi in ​​their hands.

These Ivy were supposed to be a reward for their victory, but Harrison drove the people of the Holy City to their deaths.

They had some reservations about this.

Now a strange Ivy has appeared before them.
"You said she ran away before, what, did she run back?" said the first sentry with the buzz cut.

Kaiser smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm just a lowly Sentinel. How could I possibly control Ivy?"

He held Yu Xia's hand in his own, "Xia Xia, will you still leave me?"

Upon seeing his actions, everyone's gazes turned as if thorns piercing him.

Little Ivy seemed uncomfortable under their gazes, moved closer to Cather, and whispered, "I won't leave you and Kleeman, Cather, please take me back."

The high-ranking sentries from each faction present heard her words clearly.

Both her words and her demeanor surprised them.

They could all see that she was very dependent on Catherine.

Most importantly, she didn't seem to be under control. The sentries looked at Yu Xia with even greater fervor.

If they had guiding abilities, this would have already entered Kaiser and Yu Xia's minds to find out how they formed this intimate relationship.

Sentinels, who have complete control over their bodies, prefer to form a spiritual connection with their guides.

This is what every sentry seeks in his lifetime.

The spiritual union of sentinel and guide is a higher and more pleasurable experience than the physical.

However, the past practice of Sentinels and Guides fighting side by side is long gone. Guides avoid Sentinels like the plague, treating them like monsters. Moreover, Guides are becoming increasingly rare, making it difficult to find someone with compatible mental strength. A normal match rate of over 50% is considered high.

However, at this moment, before them, an Ivy showed dependence, closeness, and even affection towards a sentry.

This doesn't match their understanding of Ivy at all.

Ivy was naturally aloof and distant, not only towards the Sentinels but also towards other Guides.

How did Kaiser manage to do that? Did he possess some special containment object that made Ivy so close to and fond of him?
"Why does she look so familiar?"

A leader of the bear tribe suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? You know this Lord Ivy too?" the crew-cut sentry asked.

The Xiong tribe leader looked at Yu Xia, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

At this moment, another high-ranking member of the lizard tribe said, "I also feel like I've seen her somewhere before."

Yu Xia glanced discreetly at the two sentries who were speaking.

She knew both of them; they had met at a high-level meeting at the outpost.

She thought to herself that their eyesight wasn't too bad. When she disguised herself as a sea princess, although her hair and eye color were different from now, her face still resembled her somewhat.

"Oh?" Catherine asked, "You know Xiaxia too?"

"Her name is Xiaxia?" The Xiong tribe leader stared intently at Yu Xia's face, his eyes growing increasingly puzzled.

He was quite certain that he must have seen her somewhere, not when he was with the people of the Holy City, but somewhere else.

where?
Just then, the familiar sound of military boots hitting the ground rang out.

The sound was still some distance away from them, at the entrance of the hall, but the sentries all sat up straight without hesitation.

Yu Xia observed the sentries' reactions and couldn't help but look towards the door, wanting to see who this person was that commanded such awe.

Two familiar figures came into her view.

Yu Xia smiled slightly; it was indeed as expected.

Originally, after Cather released her from the room and brought her here, she was a little suspicious that Harrison and the others might not be there, or that Cather and the others might have used some method to restrain them.

Unexpectedly, she overestimated Catherine and underestimated Harrison and his group.

She immediately realized that Catherine had deliberately exposed her to these high-ranking sentries.

As Cather's ambitions grew, he considered everyone except the Serpent Clan as his enemy, with Harrison being his most formidable and feared foe.

But to say that Catherine had a way to deal with Harrison and his group is an understatement; rather, it's that she couldn't hide her anymore, which is why she resorted to this tactic.

He had already used this tactic on Sevier and his group before.

Yu Xia sneered inwardly. Cather really was taking advantage of her to the extreme.

The footsteps grew closer, and Yu Xia looked up, her eyes meeting Harrison's.

His gaze and gait were equally unhurried, and he showed no emotion upon seeing her, as if she were a complete stranger.

Charles, standing beside him, looked somewhat surprised.

Harrison walked to the head of the table and sat down.

This position had previously belonged to Darren.

The sentries saw this and none of them raised any objections.

They all understood that Darren was nothing more than a puppet in his hands. Darren could disappear from their sight at any moment if Harrison wished.

“His Highness Darren will not be attending today’s meeting,” Charles said to the group as he sat down opposite Yu Xia. “His Majesty Ronald is seriously ill, and His Highness Darren has gone back to visit him.”

As he spoke, Charles looked at Yu Xia, his eyes flickering slightly.

Upon hearing that Ronald was seriously ill, the sentries exchanged glances and began to whisper among themselves.

Yu Xia felt Charles's gaze scrutinizing her, and gripped Cather's hand tightly, appearing nervous and uneasy.

Charles stared at her for a while, then said to Cather, "I didn't know that Lord Ivy, whom I invited, ended up at your place, Young Master Cather?"

Yu Xia's lips twitched slightly.

The show is coming.

After hearing what Charles said, the sentries fell silent and looked at Yu Xia and Kaiser with surprise.

Cather patted Yu Xia's hand reassuringly, then asked with a look of surprise, "Xia Xia was invited by Lord Charles?"

Seeing Cather putting on an act, Charles pushed his glasses up his nose.

"Young Master, aren't you going to explain this to us?" said the sentry with the buzz cut.

"I didn't know that Xiaxia and Lord Charles knew each other."

Catherine turned to look at Yu Xia and asked softly, "Xia Xia, do you know Lord Charles?"

Kaiser glanced at Harrison, who sat silently in the main seat, and asked, "And General Harrison, do you know him?"

Yu Xia looked confused. She glanced timidly at Charles and Harrison, then quickly lowered her head, shook her head vigorously, and whispered, "I don't know them."

Cather raised an eyebrow and looked at Charles, saying, "It seems there's some misunderstanding?"

Before Charles could speak, Harrison lowered his voice, "Report."

Charles stopped himself from asking Catherine any more questions.

The sentries straightened up and began to report one by one.

Yu Xia sat quietly next to Kaiser, trying to minimize her presence.

But there were still glances that occasionally swept over her.

Yu Xia appeared quiet and somewhat uneasy, but secretly pricked up her ears to listen to the sentries' reports.

After listening for a while, she was surprised to learn that it was about the progress of the cleanup of the contaminated area.

They're still cleaning up the contaminated area?
After reporting for almost half an hour, Yu Xia finally heard other news.

One of them concerns Ryan and the sea creatures. They've established a stronghold on the other side of the lake and have already begun their attack on Obsidian City.

The other one is about teleportation points.

“The teleportation point’s energy won’t last more than a few days,” a high-ranking official said. “The magnetic field here is too strong. Once the teleportation point’s energy is depleted, it will take us a very long time to reopen it.”
