The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

They might even be qualified to call themselves saviors.

But is a savior always a good person?

There is no such regulation.

Nothing exists simply; everything has its complexity.

The Watchers are not purely benevolent.

If we had to categorize it into a faction, it might be a neutral faction that leans towards good.

However, we are not intolerant of any evil.

To condone a certain degree of madness and evil is also a tradition of the Watchers.

This is the only organization that appears normal on the outside but reveals a crazy nature deep down.

This way, while not prohibiting container culture programs, it won't impose any constraints on the other party.

Fate will not close all roads; there will always be a path to success.

They have always firmly believed in this conviction.

And this is the way out that the Watchers have left for the containers.

The opportunity to have a sense of self.

If the "Sword Bearer" is merely a specially trained "container," then his own will is actually unimportant, and thus will not affect the existing power distribution.

If not, then there's more to it than that.

However, Ning Feng was not fighting alone; he had other helpers.

Following the path in his mind, Ning Feng bypassed various security systems and passed through layers of barriers to arrive at this special place.

An old building that looks out of place with its surroundings.

Silently pushing open an ordinary door, Ning Feng picked up the lantern hanging on the door and slowly walked down the dimly lit steps.

After traversing a long, dark underground passage, Ning Feng finally arrived at his destination.

The laboratory of the legendary spellcaster, Aiger.

I wonder if this is a unique taste of Etam.

Despite being one of the most powerful people in the court, he chose to locate his laboratory in such a dark and secluded place.

He was used to the darkness, used to this kind of environment.

Just like rats living in the sewers, they never leave their nests.

With his back to Ning Feng, Aiger, dressed in black robes, was intently working on an experiment.

"You've arrived."

---Aside---

I actually have no problems, but my boss is worried and wants me to do a very detailed test.

They called me to the hospital unexpectedly. I'll have to pay out the 1,000 I have on hand first, otherwise I'll lose my perfect attendance record.

I'll finish the minimum of 4,000 words for today first.

I need to have a chest X-ray, complete blood count, and C-reactive protein test...

Ugh, so annoying.

Chapter 141 Aiger (Seeking support, comments, and subscriptions.)

I've arrived just in time!

Ning Feng really wanted to reply to Aiger in that way, but after thinking about it, he held back.

He kept his public persona firmly in mind, restrained his usual habits, and nodded slowly:

"I am coming."

Without turning around, Aiger pointed to the huge sofa in the corner of the room.

Ning Feng walked over silently, not disturbing his experiment, but sitting down obediently and observing the room.

Ning Feng has only seen the laboratories of two legendary spellcasters so far.

These two reflect completely different styles.

If we say that Shirin's office is tidy but slightly messy...

Egger's laboratory, on the other hand, was a unique style that stood out from the crowd despite its chaotic state.

Ning Feng didn't believe that Aige had no way of cleaning the room.

He could easily straighten everything in the room with just a few spells, without having to put in much effort.

However, Aiger still kept the room messy, which Ning Feng could only attribute to personal preference.

In layman's terms, the room might be described as a chaotic yet orderly mess in Aiger's eyes.

Everything seems messy, but it all has its unique place.

If you help him tidy up, he might actually lose things.

Ning Feng didn't ask any questions, seemingly without any worry about the upcoming mission.

Aiger didn't respond, seemingly absorbed in the experiment and completely forgetting Ning Feng's presence.

Time passed slowly, and the deadline for Ning Feng to carry out his mission was drawing ever closer.

But even as the match approached, Ning Feng showed no change whatsoever, neither in his heartbeat, breathing, nor his movements.

calm.

Calm as a stone.

"All right."

After about half an hour, Egger finally put down the experiment he was conducting.

He slowly turned around, and his face was no longer covered by the black mask he had worn before.

Instead, he revealed the face of a somewhat sinister old man.

He looked to be around sixty years old, with typical Caucasian features, and a head of messy gray hair interspersed with some stray white strands.

Coupled with the somewhat wrinkled black robe, the overall look resembled that of an unkempt, old drunkard who mingled in the lower rungs of society.

Aiger's gaze swept over Ning Feng, trying to find some clues.

"You are calmer than I thought, much calmer."

When Ning Feng came to find him, he thought Ning Feng had come to him for help.

Out of respect for that elder, he didn't mind helping Ning Feng.

If the boss makes any request, he will definitely do his best to provide assistance.

However, Aiger was actually quite annoyed by Ning Feng's uninvited behavior.

Although Ning Feng's current status is special and he is indeed worth befriending, there is still a significant gap between him and that legendary figure.

He's a legend, after all. Compared to an adjudicator whose future is unpredictable, a powerful figure like him is far more worthy of our friendship.

Iger wasn't unaware of the importance of investing, but he always harbored a skeptical attitude towards things that were vague and uncertain.

Born into a less-than-noble family, Iger focused more on immediate gains when it came to investments.

This is due to his personality and his experiences.

Especially at this particular time, at this crucial moment.

If not handled properly, it could result in more losses than gains.

However, Ning Feng's attitude from beginning to end made him a little suspicious.

The other person didn't seem to be seeking help; they were simply visiting.

Doesn't he know what the situation is?

Didn't he realize how many people are watching him right now?

This calm demeanor left Aiger somewhat unsure of Ning Feng's true intentions.

Moreover, compared to his previous mindless charge, Ning Feng was completely different this time.

Calm, indifferent, and rational.

Just like everything before, it was all acting.

At the same time, Iger remembered something else.

After the elder left, Aiger immediately searched for information about the swordsman.

As expected, there was basically no substantial information, and in fact, he knew less than they did.

At least, he knew that Ning Feng was only a second-tier Awakener.

But there's another possibility...

What if Ning Feng already had a high level of authority before becoming a sword wielder?

Is this even possible?

Iger can't say for sure.

Of course, all of this was what Ning Feng hoped for.

At least in terms of his current attitude, he is undoubtedly a good actor, but why did Ning Feng show it at this time?

There are two reasons.

First, Ning Feng genuinely needs Aiger's help.

To some extent, Aiger, this legend, was the most frequently encountered powerful figure by Ning Feng in the trial court.

He had already made a deep impression on the other party, and now he needed to reverse that impression of recklessness.

An identity that only knows how to recklessly attack is not worth investing in.
