Soon, Kaede Sato entered the largest building in the center of the encampment. Along the way, pedestrians greeted him spontaneously, and he politely returned their greetings one by one. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
On the way, he also "coincidentally" met Lucy, a medical trainer.
Seeing a beautiful woman, Pikachu was naturally very happy. He immediately jumped onto Lucy's shoulder and prepared to take advantage of his cute appearance to take advantage of her.
However, before Pikachu succeeded in taking advantage of her, a long tongue tied him up heavily, and then quickly pulled the lifeless Pikachu back to Kaede Sato's side.
The elf who did it was naturally the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon on Kaede Sato's shoulder. No one knew when it started, but the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon had become very responsible. It had stopped Pikachu's recent acts of taking advantage of women.
In this regard, Pikachu was naturally very unhappy and resisted at first.
Unfortunately, the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon's way of dealing with Pikachu was very sharp. It directly acted as Pikachu's lightning rod characteristic, which made Pikachu dumbfounded.
However, Pikachu did not give up because of this. He continued to try to use other moves to teach the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon a lesson.
It was just that the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon was no longer what it used to be. In addition, he had been guided by Kaede Sato's various stealth and sneak attacks. Stealth and sneak attacks had become his fighting instinct. He had completely transformed into a cunning elf.
After Pikachu lost his strongest weapon, the electric move, his combat power was greatly reduced. Coupled with his fragile body, the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon relied on stealth and sneak attacks to defeat Pikachu in an instant.
After struggling several times to no avail, Pikachu finally admitted that he had no way to deal with the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon for the time being. He had no choice but to cry and endure the exploitation of the Shapeshifting Invisible Dragon.
Of course, it was hard for Pikachu to change his nature. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would fight again and again, never getting tired of it.
"Mr. Zheping, it's great that you've returned safely. I've been worried that something might have happened to you while you were away, but it seems that the harsh environment of the desert can't stop you from moving forward, Mr. Zheping."
When Lucy saw Pikachu being taken away by the Hidden Dragon Territory, she smiled awkwardly and began to flatter Kaede Sato as if nothing had happened.
Ever since that night, the green-haired lady often appeared by Kaede Sato's side. Moreover, she was the kind of person who would show concern for Kaede Sato. In private, she would even send many good things to Kaede Sato.
Kaede Sato naturally knew the purpose of Lucy's initiative to please him. It was nothing more than wanting him to help her when he was in danger during the exploration of the ruins.
In this regard, Kaede Sato did not think that there was anything wrong with it. Lucy had three healing elves who knew the Healing Wish technique. If used well, it would be no less than a trump card to turn the tables.
A superpower user and a medical trainer, this could also be considered a mutually beneficial and complementary combination. Of course, in the end, Lucy still had more advantages.
There was nothing wrong with being fawned upon, especially when a beautiful woman took the initiative to fawn upon him. Moreover, it was a beautiful woman with an extremely prominent family background who took the initiative to fawn upon him. As a normal man, Kaede Sato naturally could not remain indifferent.
"Thank you for your concern. This trip to the desert has been fruitful. By the way, Kanzaki-san is still looking for me. Let's talk later when we have time."
Therefore, on the surface, he still treated Lucy, this snobbish noble lady, as a friend. He also spoke to Lucy in a friendly tone.
"I see. Then I won't disturb you anymore. See you later. This is for you."
When Lucy heard that Kaede Sato had business to attend to, and it was to see the famous Heavenly King trainer, she quickly gave up on pestering Kaede Sato. She smiled and stepped aside, then handed some fresh dates to Kaede Sato.
Like other oases, date palms were very common plants in oases. At the same time, they were also a very important food in the desert. Their fruit, the date palm, was one of the few delicacies in the desert.
These red dates were obviously freshly picked and had been washed. Kaede Sato did not refuse. He directly threw one into his mouth and bit down. The sweet juice burst out in his mouth, giving him a good sense of satisfaction.
Pikachu and the Mutant Hidden Dragon also had a good appetite for sweets. After a while, before they reached the center of the encampment, the dozen or so dates that Lucy gave to Kaede Sato were divided among the three.
"Mr. Zheping, please come in. Kanzai-sama is in the hall."
A young guard at the entrance saw Kaede Sato and immediately walked up to greet Kaede Sato warmly. He then told Kaede Sato where Kanzai-Sama was.
Kaede Sato smiled and nodded in thanks. He handed the date palm that he had hidden in his palm to the guard and strode inside.
When Kaede Sato entered the hall, Kanzai-Sama, this crazy archaeologist, was holding a magnifying glass and focusing on a broken stone tablet. He did not notice Kaede Sato's arrival at all.
Seeing this, Kaede Sato did not say anything. He just waited quietly at the side for Kanzai-Sama to come back to his senses.
At this time, Kanzai-Sama was not alone in the hall. At the same time, Hughes, Ryo Kuroki, and a black-haired woman whom he had never met before were also there. The three of them were like Kaede Sato, waiting quietly at the side. They did not go forward to disturb Kanzai-Sama's research.
Although Kaede Sato did not have much contact with Kanzai-Sama, he had learned some of the real situation from some of the people close to Kanzai-Sama.
Although Kanzai-Sama was usually gentle and courteous, if someone disturbed his research and even interrupted his train of thought, he would fly into a rage. He might even get serious.
Therefore, no matter what, Kaede Sato could not go forward and seek his own death. After all, Kanzai-Sama was a ruthless character who could single-handedly fight six Heavenly King level fairies and escape unscathed.
About ten minutes later, Kanzai-Sama, who had been thinking hard but could not come up with any results, could only put down the broken stone tablet in his hand regretfully. He then stretched his sore body. Immediately after, he quickly noticed Kaede Sato who was standing by the door.
"You're finally back, Zheping. How was it? Did you find the Illusion Tower?"
Because Kaede Sato had turned the tide that night, in addition to Kaede Sato's humility and politeness, Kanzai-Sama had a very good impression of Kaede Sato. As soon as he saw Kaede Sato, he immediately showed a sincere smile and walked up to greet Kaede Sato.
Hughes, Ryo Kuroki, and the unknown black-haired woman saw that Kanzai-Sama actually ignored them, the three who had arrived first, and warmly greeted Kaede Sato, who had arrived last.
The three of them had ugly expressions on their faces, and they cursed in their hearts. However, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, and their faces were as tense as statues.
"Yes, Kanzai-sama. I walked in the desert for a few days, and finally found the Illusion Tower. I even met Miss Hikari in there. Thanks to her generosity in explaining the Illusion Tower to me, I was able to gain something from it."
Kaede Sato also ignored the envious gazes of Hughes and the other two. He showed a big smile and answered Kanzai-Sama's question honestly.
When Kanzai-Sama heard this, he immediately showed a surprised expression. Obviously, this crazy archaeologist had not expected that Kaede Sato would actually be able to find the Illusion Tower in the desert. The reason why he had asked this question was just a casual remark.
Now that he heard that Kaede Sato really found the Illusion Tower, and that he was lucky enough to meet Hikari and learn the secret of the Illusion Tower from her, he was also shocked.
Kanzai-Sama was not the only one who was shocked. Hughes, Ryo Kuroki, and the black-haired woman were also shocked. When they heard Kanzai-Sama's question to Kaede Sato, they all thought that it was impossible for Kaede Sato to find the Illusion Tower, and they were waiting to see Kaede Sato make a fool of himself.
Who knew that Kaede Sato actually found it, and they heard that he even met Goddess Hikari in there and obtained a lot of benefits?
"Tsk, lucky bastard."
For a moment, the three of them could not help but feel jealous, and they all thought the same thing again.
"It seems that you really are a very lucky person. That damn place can move on its own. If you don't have any special methods, you can only rely on luck to find it in the desert. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I called you here because I have something important to ask of you."
Kanzai-Sama was a wily old fox. He quickly concealed the surprise on his face and continued to put on an amiable smile. He patted Kaede Sato's shoulder and praised him.
"Oh yes, and you guys."
Soon after, he finally noticed Hughes and the others and spoke in an indifferent tone.
About five or six minutes later, Kaede Sato, Hughes, and the others walked out of the building. At this time, apart from Kaede Sato, the other three did not look good. Ryo Kuroki, who had the worst temper, looked as if everyone owed him millions of dollars.
