Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 859 Speculation and Emergence (3K views, please vote!)

As a newly emerging first-class power, the Immortal Wasteland naturally possesses its own intelligence system.

Moreover, after learning about the Eberon Supreme Council from Chairman Matthew, Lisa had already begun gathering relevant intelligence and information.

Therefore, in less than a day, information about the relevant forces on the Kovale Continent had already been delivered to Gao Yang.

In the study of the villa, Gao Yang put down the parchment scroll in his hand, looked at Lisa sitting opposite him, and casually asked:

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lisa thought about it carefully before parting her lips slightly: "I tend to think of the second possibility. It would be very difficult for the remnants of those destroyed forces to survive on this land."

Until they are completely settled, they will use their resources only for survival, not to hire legendary assassins.

Moreover, I've also learned about the Shadow Empire; hiring a legendary assassin is far too expensive for the current remnants to afford.

Gao Yang nodded slightly after hearing this.

He thought so too. Legendary powerhouses already occupy the top position in the pyramid of the Eberon world. It would be impossible to hire a legendary assassin who could assassinate a legendary powerhouse without paying a heavy price.

"Then, let's focus on our competitors. Which force do you think made the move?" Gao Yang tapped the parchment scroll spread out on the table with his finger and asked in a deep voice.

In the previous internal conference of the continent of Kovale, the five permanent seats were held by: Karanburg, the City of Towers, the Shadow Empire, the Kingdom Alliance, and the Arcane Empire. Among them, Karanburg worshipped the God of Knowledge, and the most famous people in this faction were scholars and spellcasters who were obsessed with knowledge.

As we all know, knowledge is power. Although Kalanburg, which possesses a vast amount of knowledge, does not have the same level of dominance as secular powers, its deterrent power is undeniable.

Shain, the city of towers, is a paradise for magicians. Powerful mages gather here and use Shain's unique geographical location to collect various resources for their continuous research and understanding of magic.

For the magicians of Shanin, they have no faith; all they ever need are resources.

The Kingdom Alliance is a community of shared interests built by kingdoms such as Karnas and Lazel. The gods they worship are mainly concentrated in the three areas of light, war, and life.

Because their overall strength was weaker than the top three, these kingdoms could only seize a suitable position through alliances.

As for the Auwen Empire, it is a newly risen empire that rose from the corpse of the former overlord of the Kovale continent. It is a force controlled by powerful dragon-patterned nobles. With the blessing of dragon patterns, the high-end combat power of the dragon-patterned nobles is no weaker than the previous three.

As for the forces occupying the last five rotating seats, they are, in order, the warlord Dagon, who worships the god of strength and military affairs; the Thorn Tribe, who worships the god of greed and death; the Great Trade Federation, which attempts to replace Shane as the Pearl of Trade; the Kingdom of Tama; and the Zhom, a force formed by orcs.

Among them, the Dagon, a warlord group formed by goblins, is the strongest, followed by the Thorn Tribe. The Zombies and the Kingdom of Tama are roughly equal in strength, while the weakest is the Great Trade Federation.

If we consider the most likely force to hire someone to commit murder, the Great Trade Federation, which controls a large amount of wealth, is the most probable, but the Zhom and the Kingdom of Tama are also suspects.

Faced with Gao Yang's question, Lisa answered without hesitation, "The Great Trade Federation."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "The Great Trade Federation is not most famous for its combat power, but for its business acumen in making the most of every copper coin. In order to maintain their position, they may very well raise a large amount of money to hire a legendary assassin to assassinate us."

"As long as the Immortal Wasteland withdraws from this internal meeting, the other forces, despite having legendary experts, will not pose a significant threat."

Gao Yang nodded slightly. Theoretically speaking, the Federation did indeed have the greatest motivation for the large-scale transaction.

He looked at the table, opened the parchment scroll, and looked at the specific information about the Great Trade Federation.

The strongest being in the Great Trade Federation is a half-goblin and half-elf who advanced to the legendary level a hundred years ago, making him a veteran legendary powerhouse.

As for whether there are any stronger figures lurking in the shadows, that remains unknown. However, based on information obtained from President Matthew, the one who fought in the last meeting was the legendary half-elf, Elex, so the possibility of other powerful figures is not very high.

Gao Yang looked at Lisa and said softly, "I will go out in the next couple of days to resolve this matter."

There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days without being able to guard against them for a thousand days. Even if he could withstand the assassination attempt by the legendary assassin, it doesn't mean that Lisa and the others could.

Lisa was a little worried. She looked at Gao Yang and said, "After the Shadow Empire finds out that the mission failed, they will probably increase your bounty. They probably won't make a move again for a while. Why don't we put this matter aside for now?"

"At worst, I'll activate Goddess's Blessing. No legend can escape its detection."

Faced with Lisa's persuasion, Gao Yang shook his head; he would never entrust his safety to others.

Perhaps it was because he had been too peaceful during his time in Eberon and in seclusion that the world of Eberon, aware of his reputation, made a wrong judgment about him.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang closed his eyes slightly, concealing the killing intent in them.

He enjoys his peaceful life now, but unfortunately, there are always people trying to make things difficult for him.

In that case, we just need to get rid of the people who created the problem.

"No need, I'll handle it," Gao Yang said softly.

Upon hearing this, Lisa did not offer any further advice, but simply reminded her, "Then be careful. When do we depart?"

"Let's wait for Milofina to arrive."

Gao Yang casually put the parchment scroll into his backpack.

His current strength is at the level of a senior legend. He might have some difficulty facing some veteran powerhouses on his own, but if he were to join forces with Milofina, who has also been promoted to legend, it would be a completely different story.

Milofina's exclusive support has provided Gao Yang with an extremely significant boost. Simply put, with Milofina's assistance, he is confident that he can even challenge gods of moderate divine power at this stage.

Lisa nodded, looking at Gao Yang who was now displaying a hint of iron-bloodedness, she unconsciously licked her red lips, then got up and walked towards Gao Yang.

Now that the business was over, she really wanted to give Gao Yang a verbal lecture, as she had been under a lot of pressure lately.

Before long, the sound of sucking could be heard from under the desk.

On the third day, Gao Yang was meditating cross-legged above the Blue Jade when he suddenly heard Milofina's familiar, slightly arrogant laughter.

"Haha, Gao Yang, I've come to see you!"

He opened his eyes and looked down, and saw a pale golden ball of light flying toward his location. Inside the ball of light was Milofina, covered in golden fur.

A smile spread across his face as he let Milofina rush into his arms.

"Meow, Gao Yang, have you missed me all this time?"

Milofina snuggled against Gao Yang, tilted her head back, frowned, and asked seriously.

"Of course I want to, but our Queen is really heartless, not coming to see her companions for so long." Gao Yang was in a good mood and couldn't help but tease her.

"Meow... this is because... I'm being taught by my grandmother and can't leave, you won't blame me, will you?" Milofina looked up at Gao Yang at the end, slightly nervous.

Seeing Milofina's nervous little face, Gao Yang couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, laughing heartily.

Lisa, who was standing to the side, was speechless. Unable to bear it any longer, she looked at Milofina and explained, "He's just teasing you, Milofina."

"Meow?"

The tension in Milofina's eyes vanished instantly, her vertical pupils dilated to full moons, and after a few seconds she reacted, letting out an angry meow:

"Meow!! You stinky Gao Yang! I'll bite you to death~~"

After playing around for a while, Gao Yang looked at Milofina and told her about the upcoming itinerary.

Milofina agreed to Gao Yang's request without hesitation.

For her, Gao Yang was someone she protected, and she wouldn't allow anyone to bully him.

"Well then, Milofina and I are off. We'll be back soon once we're done."

Gao Yang stood at the edge of the training ground, with Milofina perched on his shoulder. He looked at Lisa, whose hands were placed in front of her lower abdomen, and said...

Lisa nodded gently and said, "Be careful on the road."

"Haha, Lisa, don't worry, with me here, Gao Yang will be fine."

Milofina stretched out her furry cat paw, patted her little chest, and confidently assured them.

Lisa had just prepared a lot of her favorite snacks, which made Milofina very happy.

Lisa looked at Milofina, bowed slightly and said earnestly, "Then I'll leave it to you, Milofina."

Such a formal scene made Milofina a little embarrassed. She coughed awkwardly and said, "No problem at all."

"gone."

Gao Yang waved to Lisa, and then, under Lisa's gaze, he took Milofina and soared into the sky.

Lisa looked worriedly in the direction Gao Yang had left, and only after he could no longer be seen did her expression turn serious, and she turned and headed towards the Immortal Temple.

In Gao Yang's eyes, she was just a woman, a wife, but to outsiders, she was a legendary, cold, and unsmiling bishop.

High in the sky, Milofina happily ate the dried fish that Lisa had prepared, and then looked at Gao Yang and asked, "Gao Yang, where are we going now? Is it the Great Trade Federation you mentioned?"

Gao Yang shook his head slightly and said softly, "Go to the Shadow Empire first. If you find something there, then you don't need to go to the Great Trade Federation. If you don't find anything there, then go to the Great Trade Federation."

"Okay, fine."

Milofina didn't care where they were going and continued to enjoy her meal after receiving a reply.

For her, being able to act alongside Gao Yang was enough. All she had to do was assist Gao Yang and be a brainless tool.

As for using your brain and fighting, that's of course left to Gao Yang.

Thinking of this, Milofina took out a small, golden dried fish and held it to Gao Yang's lips, saying, "Gao Yang, try this, it tastes very good."

Gao Yang took a bite of the dried fish and chewed it carefully. To his surprise, the snack that Lisa had prepared for Milofina tasted really good.
