Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

Jiayuguan is known as the "First Pass Under Heaven".

It is one of the three wonders of the Great Wall built by the ancient king.

After parting ways with Mo Fan and the others, He An went straight to Jiayuguan, which is located near Zhuoyuan.

"What are you doing in Jiayuguan?" Nan Yu, sitting next to He An, asked, puzzled.

She has now changed into casual clothes, and the tight-fitting short skirt shows off her long legs that are almost too big to fit in a seat.

The men on the plane frequently glanced at her, and occasionally made sounds of swallowing.

Based on He An's age and abilities.

Shouldn't this be the time to return to the university, participate in the national government preliminaries, and win national government votes?

"My goal is similar to yours; I also have some things to take care of."

He An leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and responded somewhat lazily.

In fact, He An had no intention of coming to Jiayuguan in his initial plan.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

Ever since landing at Dunhuang Airport, the small gray-white stone that Dean Xiao gave me has started to get hot, as if there is something particularly attractive to it in the direction of Jiayuguan.

He An could only take the first flight to this "most formidable pass under heaven" to investigate after finishing his business in Zhuoyuan.

Because the two places are close, the plane quickly landed on the runway of Jiayuguan Airport.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has landed at Jiayuguan Airport. The outside temperature is..."

He An stepped out of the cabin as the plane landed.

As soon as he got off the plane, he took a taxi to the Hunter Alliance Building in the city center.

Each Hunter Alliance has its own unique characteristics, which can be seen from the decoration of the Hunter Alliance Building.

The decoration of the Jiayuguan Hunter Alliance Building perfectly echoes Jiayuguan, and from the outside it is also shaped like a majestic desert pass.

Once inside, it's basically the same as other Hunter's Alliance halls, except for the addition of some local elements.

Looking at the large screens in the center of the hall that were constantly displaying intelligence messages and bounties, He An nodded in satisfaction.

If you want to obtain information and intelligence, then the Hunter Alliance is undoubtedly the best choice.

He walked to the reception desk, pushed the badge representing his Hunter Master status in front of the receptionist, and said calmly:

"I need the Hunter Master's special services."

"A five-star hunter master!" The receptionist gasped in surprise, covering her mouth after seeing the badge.

A five-star hunter master's status is comparable to that of a city mayor or city general in a country.

Such important figures are extremely rare; in the entire Jiayuguan, you could count the number of people who could be compared to He An on one hand.

After a brief moment of surprise, the well-trained receptionist quickly recovered, bowed to He An, and politely asked:

"Hello, esteemed five-star hunter master, what services do you require?"

"I need some intelligence and a detailed map of the area around Jiayuguan."

After hearing He An's request, the receptionist led him to a private room on a high floor of the Hunter Building.

An intellectual-looking woman wearing black-rimmed glasses was sitting on the sofa in the room, flipping through the intelligence she was holding.

She is a hunter girl.

High-ranking hunter ladies like these serve hunter masters. They are knowledgeable, have a broad understanding of most magical knowledge, and can quickly compile effective intelligence and reasonable plans.

Although her abilities in many areas are not as good as Lingling's, who was personally trained by the Cold Hunter King, they are sufficient in most situations.

"I need some information and maps of ancient ruins near Jiayuguan," He An said to her.

According to Dean Xiao, the reason why Fu Yunshu's family needed this small stone was to find a ruin, which greatly narrowed down the search area.

"This intelligence is worth a total of four million."

Su Ran typed on her laptop for a while, then looked up, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and said calmly.

Generally speaking, this level of intelligence gathering would not cost this much, but her unique way of thinking makes her like to corroborate information from multiple angles.

This has led to a significant increase in the cost of intelligence.

"Swipe the card." He An didn't say much, but simply handed over a black card.

He An, who controls the entire underworld of Shanghai and is also a councilor of Songcheng, is different from a poor guy like Mo Fan.

Even a sum of 100 million is just a small goal to him now.

Driven by her financial power, Su Ran soon handed He An a thirteen-page list of information on the ruins surrounding Jiayuguan.

"A total of 367 sites have been discovered around Jiayuguan. Based on your needs, I have narrowed the scope down to 54 sites... and combined with information from various sources, we have finally identified a total of eight sites."

Su Ran sat down next to He An and explained to him in detail her reasoning process and supporting information.

He An took the intelligence report and scanned the descriptions of the eight ruins.

When the fifth picture was seen, the grayish-white stone suddenly began to tremble.

"This is it. What kind of ruins are these?" He An placed the intelligence reports flat on the table and asked, pointing to the fifth report.

"What's this?" Su Ran adjusted her glasses and continued, "Is this what you're looking for?"

He An felt the vibration of the grayish-white stone in his pocket and confirmed:

"It's this one."

"This is the site of an ancient tribe near Jiayuguan. In that era, tribes generally worshipped gods. This tribe seems to worship a god associated with poison, which is not a good one," Su Ran said to He An with a frown.

Her sister was a member of the archaeological team that excavated the site. The team was poisoned on the outskirts and almost all of them died inside the site.

Fortunately, a military officer and a hunter were traveling together and passed by the ruins, where they were rescued.

After that, even when several master hunters led a team together, they all disappeared into the perpetually lingering poisonous fog.

"Related to poison?" He An's eyes lit up instantly.

Isn't this just walking right into the line of fire?

What is poison to you is honey to me!

The more potent the toxin, the more useful it would be to He An.

But what is the Black Vatican looking for in a ruin filled with deadly poison?

Could it be that Salam originally intended to use the poison for something else?

However, due to the fruitless search and the exposure of his identity, he had no choice but to abandon the plan.

After receiving the intelligence data and map from Su Ran, He An turned and walked out of the private room.

As he walked out of the private room, a group of people were walking towards him.

They do look very much like Asians, but there are some differences in their eyes and facial contours.

They looked more like a group of Southeast Asians.

He An didn't think much of it and continued walking forward on his own.

Just as they were passing each other, they heard the younger man in the group with a very prominent nose ask a question.

"My lord, no, young master, what should we do next?"

"Find that ruin and retrieve what's inside!"

A hoarse, unpleasant voice echoed in the corridor.
