Chapter 101: Heading to Luyuns City |
...
Besides, I can also check out this Retifus’s background.
With this point clear in his mind, Jonas said to the person in front of him, “Leave this matter to me.
I’ll take the chance to investigate Retifus’s background.”
Katerdra immediately asked, “Do you want me to go with you?
We can watch each other’s backs.”
After what happened before, Katerdra had become especially clingy.
Plus, with her exceptional physical condition, she was willing to pose in many ridiculous positions for Jonas.
Jonas patted Katerdra’s head and said,
It’s more convenient for me to act alone.
Besides, the Destiny Army still needs you to manage things.
Your mission is quite heavy!”
As he spoke, he turned to Charis beside him and said,
“Charis, go ahead and notify the Mage Corps.
I’m going to release the Great Healing Spell.
I’m entrusting the rest of the matters to you all.
Train hard and don’t disappoint me~”
“Yes!”
...
One hour later.
The entire Mage Corps gathered in the center of Giant Spirit City.
Jonas floated in the air, surrounded by fierce waves of magical power.
With both hands spread wide, the huge goddess’s ethereal image behind him emitted a gentle yet powerful light, like the source of life itself.
Her phantom slowly waved the scepter in her hand, and a warm, pure magical power radiated from the vision, quickly spreading over the entire Giant Spirit City.
The residents, once weak from the plague, now raised their heads one after another, their eyes filled with a trace of confusion and hope.
They could feel a mighty healing force approaching, like an invisible warm current flowing through their bodies.
“What kind of power is this?” an elderly man asked with a trembling voice. The bluish-gray veins under his skin gradually became clearer, and the color slowly returned to normal.
“It’s Lord Jonas!” a young mother holding her sick child said, a spark of hope flashing in her eyes.
She saw her child’s previously weak complexion turning rosy, and the breathing became steady.
The city’s residents gathered in the square, looking up at Jonas and the goddess’s vision in the sky.
They could feel their discomfort gradually easing, and their previously heavy limbs growing stronger.
Many who had been desperate knelt down.
They clasped their hands together toward Jonas in the sky.
“Lord Jonas is our savior!”
“Yes, Lord Jonas, you saved us!”
“My child has hope now.”
“Sure enough, following Lord Jonas was the right choice. Otherwise, how could other administrators care for us commoners and heal us?”
...
Below,
Charis stared blankly at Jonas.
To receive so much magical energy from so many mages at once and release such a spell was beyond her wildest dreams.
Lord Jonas was truly getting stronger and stronger!
After finishing the spell, Jonas looked a bit mentally exhausted.
He said to Charis, Olivia, and Katerdra, “I’m entrusting the rest to you.
Wait for me to come back.”
“Yes!”
...
Later, after treating Liliana through the night,
Jonas left Giant Spirit City early.
...
The vast eastern part of Postaya Province, with Salwot as the leading city, followed by Luofu Mountain City and Luyuns City, occupied more than seventy percent of the area.
Although in overall strength and foundation it couldn’t compare with Spandel City, in terms of territory and resources, these three cities formed the main body of Postaya.
Among these three cities, Luyuns City was the closest to the desert.
It was the city Retifus had once chosen.
From Jonas’s understanding,
Luyuns City now held a very special status, especially as the connection between the desert and the cities.
It was the largest trading hub for various races.
Its number of trade guilds was the highest among the six major cities.
Moreover, the members of these guilds were not only humans but many other races.
For people of various professions, if they lacked any rare or strange treasures, a trip to Luyuns City would never be a trip in vain—as long as they brought enough magic crystals.
It was also the largest intelligence center.
At the center of Luyuns City stood famous guilds, with countless small and medium-sized guilds gathered there.
Jonas soon arrived here.
Although this city lay on the edge of the desert, its prosperity was beyond what Tars City could compare with.
At the same time, it was home to the largest slave market.
...
Arriving here, Jonas felt a bit lost, but the urgent matter was to search for news about the Spirit Ripple Clan.
He then tipped some money to a passerby and asked, “Where do people sell information here?”
The passerby took the silver coin and immediately brightened up.
“Sir, of course!
In Luyuns City, there’s nothing you can’t sell.
The Dark Stone Guild up ahead is the biggest intelligence guild.
There, you can ask about anything you want to know.”
Following the passerby’s directions, Jonas arrived at the place.
This so-called intelligence guild’s storefront looked simple and unassuming.
Behind a huge stone,
there was a long path.
Along the path were many small rooms.
Jonas walked in and was led to a small room.
A maid in front of him took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jonas, saying, “Sir, write down what you want to know on this.
After paying a deposit, within two days,
we will give you a price, and then you can make the transaction.”
“Can I know everything?”
“Basically most of it! If even we can’t get the information you want, we will compensate you accordingly.”
Jonas said, “Alright.”
He was quite curious.
How could such a simple-looking information guild know so much?
Jonas wrote down the information and handed it to the person in front of him.
The person glanced at it, nodded, and put the paper folded into a special box.
After finishing everything, Jonas left the small room.
Looking at this entire area, if so many people came to ask for information,
where did this information come from?
Did the Dark Stone Guild have so-called talents, special skills controlled by those talents?
Interesting.
If such a skill existed,
he could directly assign that spot to her.
Having the ability to know everything would be a great convenience for future wars.
Then train her loyalty, gain her skill, and unlock two more spots.
Quite interesting.
...
Night.
Jonas returned to this place.
He wanted to see how this information was obtained.
If such a genius existed, he would tie her up and bring her back to Thunderkeep.
As for loyalty, he would raise it slowly later.
Following the delivery of the information, Jonas gradually got closer.
To be honest, the people transporting the information boxes were very careful.
They changed hands many times and passed through multiple traps.
If it weren’t for Jonas’s ridiculously powerful skill Shadowmeld,
even a Frost Silver-level expert would probably be discovered.
