“A magic weapon?!” Ruge eximed, clearly shocked. “Could it be that there are monks in Aurous Hill who can wield aura?”


    “Yingzhudao,” Willie mentioned that it was identally taken by tomb robbers andter discovered by him by chance.


    Ruge couldn’t help but exim, “What an incredible find…”


    Yingzhu interjected, “I just checked Willie’s movements, and he indeed visited the antique street in Aurous Hill twice. This suggests that what he said is likely true.”


    Ruge, still puzzled, asked, “My lord, I’m confused. If Bo Willie was telling the truth, why do you still im he has ulterior motives?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The Lord Ying replied with a sneer, “What Bo Willie told me was indeed true, but he only revealed part of the story!”


    He continued, “He imed that what he found was a passive magic weapon whose effects he was unaware of. However, I tracked his movements, and after his first departure from the Antique Street, he headed to a secluded mountain in Aurous Hill, where he lingered for several minutes before returning to the Antique Street. I suspect he may have acquired an offensive magic weapon.”


    Ruge furrowed his brow, puzzled. “My lord, I must point out that just because Uncle Willie visited a remote mountain doesn’t necessarily prove he obtained an offensive magic weapon, does it?”


    The Lord Ying snorted dismissively and added, “Certainly, you can’t prove it solely based on his movements. However, today the Aurous Hill Meteorological Bureau issued an extreme weather warning—just 20 minutes after Willie arrived in the mountains!”<fn33fc> Chapters first released on </fn33fc>


    “Additionally, I recently scoured Aurous Hill’s local Weibo and short video tforms. Many users are discussing a thunderstorm that urred near Phoenix Mountain this afternoon. ording to various ounts, the thunder was incredibly loud—almost deafening!”


    “Coincidentally, the valley Willie visited isn’t far from Phoenix Mountain!”


    Ruge felt a wave of despair wash over her. It was clear that the Lord of Ennd had ess to the location information of several earls.


    Yet, what truly unsettled her was the realization that the Lord could meticulously analyze everyone’s actions,bining time and location with publicly avable information from the local inte.


    This meant that escaping the Lord of Ennd’s control seemed impossible. Even though these earls might remain unreported for extended periods while on missions, they still carried the poison prepared by the Lord.


    Those who mastered spiritual energy enjoyed longer lifespans, resulting in the Lord providing them with longer intervals before needing the antidote. While others needed it every two weeks, three months, or half a year, they only required it every three years.


    But what did three years really mean? If everyone was merely puppets of the Lord of Ennd, the earls were just given longer strings, unable to break free from his grasp.


    Frustrated, Ruge began to analyze the key points mentioned by the Lord Ying. Willie’s journey from the Antique Street to the mountains was indeed suspicious, and the sudden thunderp at the very location Willie had visited was hard to believe.


    By piecing together these details, she could start to form a clearer picture of the situation.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
