Please be my partner.

After being comforted for a while, Nasus finally broke free from his anxiety and floated around Melen happily.

Nasus said, "Merenmelen, let me take you to see what Xiaoyin and I have accomplished."

Mellen smiled and shook his finger, saying, "No hurry, I came to you this time because I have something very important to tell you."

When Nasus heard it was a serious matter, he hurriedly asked, "What is it? What is it?"

At this time, dogs walked out of the fairy tale kingdom...

Spike, Little Red Lotus, Garuru, Little Liuli, and Golden Retriever.

Even the confused Void Dog was picked up by Spike and placed in Mellen's arms.

Nasus looked at the five dogs surrounding them and asked in confusion, "What are you doing..."

Suddenly, Nasus seemed to understand something. He looked at Melen with a look of expectation and asked, "Melen, could it be that you have become a saint?!"

Mellen nodded with a smile.

Nasus became even more excited. Perhaps Void Dog was the only one in the audience who didn't understand what was going to happen.

Melen's expression turned serious, and he asked, "Nasus, Void, please be my partner!"

Nasus naturally agreed without hesitation. After being stunned for a few seconds, the Void Dog also started barking.

Melen smiled slightly. After being promoted to a Saint, there were two more contract positions for the [Wolf Tamer]. Naturally, the first people he thought of were Nasus and the Void Dog.

As the contract was completed, the illusory projections of Nasus and the Void Dog also appeared in Mellen's spiritual world, and the power of soul and void began to resonate in his body.

Melen could clearly feel that his body became more active and his soul became clearer and heavier. This was not only the bonus brought by the contract with two more dogs, but also the improvement caused by Nasus' soul and the void of the void dog. When the two dogs became saints and mastered the corresponding power of rules, this improvement would become more obvious.

If Melen performs [Soul Synchronization] at this time, he will definitely be able to maintain it longer than before and exert stronger power.

This is the positive effect brought about by the increase in carrying capacity.

Spike and the others also came over at this time and welcomed the joining of Nasus and Void Dog.

Mellen shouted, "Let's have a party!"

The dogs cheered immediately.

Nasus hesitated for a moment and stammered, "I... I still have a lot of... work to do..."

Without waiting for the Holy Spirit Dog to finish speaking, Mellen hugged it in his arms and kneaded it hard.

In the end, Nasus's thoughts were suppressed by Melen, and he could only happily join in the fun.

Mellen chuckled and said to himself, "You've worked hard, Xiaoyin. Come along too. You need to relax once in a while."

The light flickered and then disappeared, and Mellen could only shrug.

The joyful play lasted for three days before Melen finally got down to business: "Holy Spirit Dog, how long will it take for your virtual world to be completed?"

Nasus said confidently, "The original estimate was three to five years. Now with the support of spiritual energy, half a year at most should be enough."

Mellen nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

Spiritual energy, as the origin of wolves, can naturally be given to any dog. However, if there is no contract, it can only be done face to face. Now that a contract has been made with the Holy Spirit Dog, it can naturally provide support at all times.

Melen thought for a moment and said, "In five months I will be going on an adventure to a higher-dimensional world. It would be best if I could finish it before then."

After hearing this, Nasus immediately nodded solemnly.

Chapter 431 Intelligence and Investigation

Demonic World, Baisha Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Mellen, I'm so sorry. Rule treasures are only accessible to those at the level of president and vice president. Even if I use the authority left to me by the young master, it's far from enough. I can't even know if there are any treasures of this level in the Chamber of Commerce."

Zhan Tianye pushed his glasses and explained helplessly.

Mellen nodded slightly and said, "I understand. My purpose in coming here is not to directly purchase the Rule Treasure from the Baisha Chamber of Commerce. I just want to ask if there are other ways to obtain it, or if I can get some relevant information."

Zhan Tianye breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard a lot about Mr. Mellen from his young master and knew that the latter was no ordinary person. Moreover, before leaving, the young master had repeatedly told him to try his best to meet all his requirements. However, he did not expect that Mr. Mellen would give him a big problem when he came to see him for the first time.

Fortunately, what Mellen said later was within Zhan Tianye's ability.

After saying "wait a moment", Zhan Tianye left quickly.

Mellen was not in a hurry and quietly sipped the fragrant tea.

After waiting for an hour, Zhan Tianye hurried back with a thick stack of documents in his hand.

Looking at the document respectfully handed over by Zhan Tianye, Mellen did not read it directly after taking it, but looked at the former.

Zhan Tianye naturally understood what Mellen meant and explained with a smile, "Mr. Mellen, please feel free to watch. I collected this information from the Baisha Chamber of Commerce and the Zhan family using the authority reserved for me by the young master. There is no additional fee required."

Mellen nodded, not being pretentious, and simply made a mental note of the favor before quickly flipping through the information in his hand...

The spiritual world, the flourishing flower area, and the Valley of Hundred Beauties are suspected to possess rule-based treasures containing rules such as 'life', 'regeneration', and 'vitality'. Special rule-based areas will autonomously suppress other types of rules and are protected by demigod power.

The spiritual world, the ancient moon area, this area was born after unknown life merged into the spiritual world. There is suspected to be a rule-type treasure with "pollution" rules inside, which is extremely dangerous.

……

The Tuonan Realm is a remnant of the ancient world. It was once the site of a mythological war, and mythological forces are still wreaking havoc in it. The danger level ranges from medium to extremely high. Some of the fragmented spaces are suspected to contain rule-based treasures.

The Peruvian World, the Thundering Secret Realm, and the Purple Cloud Secret Realm are secret spaces jointly managed by the three major academies. There are rule-based treasures in them that can be obtained through special methods.

……

On the 632nd layer of the Abyss, three demon lords jointly possess a secret treasure of rules. A demigod demon once tried to invade this layer of the abyss, but was repelled by the three demon lords who activated the secret treasure.

The Void Lighthouse is a special building that floats randomly in the endless void. Legend has it that anyone who enters it and completes the test will receive unimaginable rewards.

……

The Holy Dragon Chamber of Commerce will hold a large-scale auction 37 years later, in which regular treasures will be auctioned.

The Moon Shadow Order has issued a secret bounty, the reward is a rule-based treasure. Strong people above the Saint level can go to accept the task, but they need to sign a secret contract.

……

There were dozens of them, and the more Melen read, the more headache he got. By the time he finished reading, he was completely speechless.

With a wry smile, Melen realized that what he had thought before was too simple. Rule-based treasures are naturally precious. In this case, with so many ways to obtain them, why don't others try?

This question is as stupid as "The printing factory has a complete set of printing equipment, why doesn't anyone rob it?"

Looking at the descriptions in the intelligence, it's either guarded by a demigod, extremely dangerous, or in the hands of some powerful force. Where can I get it?!

After looking around, he found that the simplest one was actually the secret realm controlled by the three major academies. As for the so-called "obtained through special methods", Melen could understand it after a little thought. It is likely that the secret realm needs to be opened before it can be competed for, and this competition must also have specific conditions.

Mellen basically passed over all the danger reports of those that existed in the spiritual world, and at most he would take the time to conduct a brief investigation later.

As a mythical battlefield, the Tunan Realm is still filled with mythical rules. The dangers therein are too uncertain and can be regarded as a relatively late alternative.

The 632nd level of the Abyss is a bit strange. Logically, the demon lords on the same level should be enemies fighting to the death for the authority of the ruler of this level, but they have joined forces to control a secret treasure of rules.

According to the description in the information, these three demon lords are all saints. Even with the blessing of the territory, they are only at the peak of saints and have not reached the demigod level. They can also be listed as alternatives.

The Void Lighthouse is too illusory. Even if he has the [Pointer of Destiny], Melen has no intention of considering it. You know, the vastness of the endless void is far beyond imagination. Not to mention how much fate it takes to find a specific place in such a large area, if the distance is far, it may take decades or even hundreds of years to go back and forth. Melen does not have that much time to waste here.

There is no need to think about the auction of the Holy Dragon Chamber of Commerce, as there is also not enough time. However, you can try to contact the Moon Shadow Order that issued the task to see how difficult the task is.

Mellen slowly closed the information in his hand. No matter what, compared to having no clue at all before coming here, he has now determined several specific directions. It all depends on how to act next.

Melen said to Zhan Tianye who was waiting beside him, "Thank you very much. I also want some information about the low-dimensional world and the bottomless abyss. The more detailed the better."

Zhan Tianye responded immediately: "It's very simple."

Half a day later, Mellen left the Baisha Chamber of Commerce. This time, he not only obtained a lot of information he wanted, but also sold some of the extra resources he had.

Did not stay in the Demon Realm World any longer, Melen Peru World Golden Academy.

After entering the academy, Melen first asked the academy elves about the situation of the Sequence Battlefield. After finding out that there were no challengers, he nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the last outbreak had indeed shocked many people. At least before these students could think of a way to crack the Giant Fortress, there shouldn't be any idiots who would come and give away points.

Then, Melen expressed his request to meet with Vice President Bellomo through the college elf and soon received a response.

In the vice-principal's office, Bellomo looked at Melen with a glittering look in his eyes. He said admiringly, "Melen, when you managed to fight back from Tim's attack, I knew you would soon become a saint, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Melen was not modest in accepting Bellomo's praise and gladly accepted it.

Bellomo smiled and said, "Okay, Melen, you're not here for nothing. Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"

Mellen didn't intend to hide anything and said straight to the point, "Vice Principal, I want to know about the Thunder Secret Realm and the Purple Cloud Secret Realm."

"The Thunder Secret Realm and the Purple Cloud Secret Realm?" Bellomo was stunned for a moment. Instead of answering directly, he asked, "Why are you asking about these two secret realms?"

Melen said calmly: "A rule-based treasure."

"Ha!" Bellomo chuckled and said, "You're quite bold. But with your strength and talent, you might have a chance if you really want to enter the secret realm."

After gathering his thoughts, Bellomo said, "I can't reveal too much about the specifics of these two secret realms. I can only tell you that if you want to obtain the rule treasures within these two secret realms, in addition to achieving first place in the secret realm, you will also need to complete some extremely difficult test tasks."

"Only at this point are you qualified to come into contact with the rule treasures in the secret realm and see if there are any that resonate with you. If not, naturally you will get nothing."

Seeing Bellomo pause, Melen tactfully asked, "What if there's someone who can resonate with you?"

Bellomo smiled playfully and said, "Then you only need to sign a contract with the Golden Academy, and you can take it away."

Mellen's expression froze. He thought it would be troublesome to get the rule treasure from the Golden Academy, but he didn't expect it to be this troublesome.

Sighing, Mellen asked, "Could you please tell me the general contents of the contract?"

Bellomo waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. It's just a simple employment agreement. The content is that after graduation, you will stay at the Golden Academy to teach, and the salary will be better than those of ordinary saint instructors."

Mellen asked again: "What's the time limit?"

Bellomo said, "At least a hundred years. If the rule treasure you obtained is more precious, the time will increase accordingly."

Melen had already made a decision, but he still asked, "When will the Thunder Secret Realm and the Purple Cloud Secret Realm open?"

Bellomo shook his head and said, "The Thunder Secret Realm and the Purple Cloud Secret Realm are different from other secret realms. They require the permission of the principals of the three academies to open them."

Melen nodded and expressed his gratitude to Bellomo.

After leaving the vice-president's office, Mellen went to the library and conducted some targeted information research before leaving the Golden Academy.

Melen recalled the spiritual areas in his mind where the rules and treasures existed, and after making a simple route map, he began to explore them one by one.

The Night Demon Area, a chaotic area in the spiritual world, is occupied by a kind of life called the Night Demon.

The Night Demon area is quite special. The entire area is shrouded in a veil of darkness. Mental exploration will be severely affected, and all vision-related perceptions will completely lose their function. One can only rely on other perceptions to explore the situation.

The Night Demon is born without eyes, but has ultrasonic detection similar to that of a bat, a strong sense of darkness, and the ability to confuse the perception of other lives.

After Melen entered the Night Demon area, the loss of vision was secondary. The mental impact was more serious than he had imagined. In addition, after actually experiencing the Night Demon's confusion in perception, Melen decisively withdrew from this area.

……

The flowery area, the chaotic spiritual world area. Once you enter here, you can see all kinds of brightly colored flowers and colorful smoke floating in the air.

But if you look closely, you will discover the horror hidden beneath this beauty.

Without exception, all the spiritual beings in this area are covered with various bright flowers. Rather than being living beings, they are more like potted plants that can walk freely.

Those colorful smoke particles are actually tiny spores. Once they land on flesh and blood, they will immediately take root and sprout, penetrate the host's body with their roots, absorb the flesh and blood for their own growth, and even continue to spread until they completely control the host, allowing the host to take them to farther places to spread the spore seeds.

Melen frowned and came to the outside of Baiyan Valley. He just took a look from a distance, then turned around and left without saying a word.

……

After exploring half of the places on the list, Mellen realized that his action this time, hoping that he could find a bargain, was indeed too naive. However, things should be done from beginning to end, and there is naturally no reason to give up halfway.

Just like this, after about twenty days, Melen rushed to the last ancient moon area.

The description in the data says that the entire Ancient Moon area is a life form, but its life or death status is unknown. All the spiritual life that originally existed in the entire area has been digested by it. Many saints have entered it to explore, but only a few have come out alive.

To be honest, at this point, Melen no longer even plans to venture into the Ancient Moon area. The reason he still wants to go there is simply out of curiosity about this special life.

However, this calm and leisurely mentality was broken when there was only one area left to the Guyue area.

Mellen stopped on a hilltop, frowning as he looked at the thing in his hand... a religious emblem!

A large amount of memories were dug out by Melen, the Church of the Heavenly Father, and [Shepherd] Pat Bozovic.

When Mellen was studying at the Royal Mystical Academy of the Kingdom of Cro, he and Salim carried out a mission to eliminate a cult stronghold. Later, he was assassinated by [Shepherd] Pat Bozovic and almost survived.

The second time he met the [Shepherd] Pat Bozovic was in the Brotherhood of Craftsmen. Melen accidentally discovered the former's actions. At that time, he was no longer the same as before. He easily killed the enemy in the little notebook and obtained this unusual-looking church emblem.

Later, when Melen grew up, he also tried to find trouble with the Church of the Merciful Father of Heaven, but the latter seemed to have disappeared at that time. Melen completely forgot about it afterwards. Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered its traces today.

Although the emblem was sealed by Melen layer by layer, it still seemed to be sensitive and was constantly emitting fluctuations. Fortunately, this transmission was relatively rigid, and Melen eliminated it as soon as he discovered it.

After reinforcing the seal on the emblem and confirming that it no longer responded, Mellen acted more cautiously. It took him two days to finally confirm that the emblem was pointing to the Ancient Moon area.
