"Don't forget about us," said the other rescued soldiers. "If the Wanderlust Team needs anything, just call us!"
"Yes, in the future, the Wanderlust Team's problems are our problems!"
Oscar was a little moved. Frankly speaking, whether it was from a personal or long-term perspective, he should not be worried about the Wanderlust Team now, but Wang Zhong's safety. But no matter what, the reactions of Hyde, Vladimir, Noraba, and the dimensional humans who were rescued still touched him.
"How do you know that Wang Zhong will definitely come back safely?" Si Jiali was the one who spoke. Her voice was trembling a little.
When she received the news that the captives in the Shadow Moon Fortress had returned, she immediately dropped everything she was doing and rushed over. She had just squeezed into the crowd and heard the conversation between Hyde and Oscar. Si Jiali did not care about Hyde and the others joining the Wanderlust Team. She only cared about Wang Zhong. Lure the Warlock Saint away? Fight the Warlock Saint one-on-one?
Si Jiali was very clear about how Wang Zhong had killed the Sword Saint. In terms of strength, although Wang Zhong was considered very strong among the Heroic Souls, he was not qualified to fight against a Heavenly Soul, let alone an existence like the Warlock Saint. When she heard this news, she felt that she was about to faint.
"Si Jiali, believe me." Napier moved closer to her. "Wang Zhong will definitely be fine. At that time, both sides were already trapped. It was the Warlock Saint who blew the conch to ask for help. Only then did the Shadow Moon Fortress soldiers abandon us and leave."
Beside him, Mu Zi nodded. "Although we don't know what happened, since the Warlock Saint is in a predicament and needs help from the outside world, no matter what the situation is, it means that Wang Zhong will not be caught so easily."
Not only these two, but Hyde, Vladimir, Noraba, and even the dimensional human brothers also nodded at this time to confirm this.
Si Jiali was stunned, and the buzzing noises around them instantly became mute. The hundreds of people at the entrance of the camp seemed to have suddenly become mute.
Everyone heard Mu Zi's words, and he had expressed himself very clearly.
He challenged the Warlock Saint one-on-one, and the Warlock Saint actually needed help from the outside world? No, was it the Warlock Saint who was chasing after Wang Zhong, or was it Wang Zhong who was chasing after the Warlock Saint? Was he listening to a heavenly book? This was like a dream!
If not for the fact that everyone present said so, everyone would have thought that it was a fantasy. In fact, even the people who were saved felt like they were living in a dream. They had really lost all hope, but now, they had returned to the base alive. They had really escaped death!
George and Odin, who had been chatting and laughing freely in the bar, instantly shriveled up. They hid in the crowd, afraid that Oscar and the others from the Wanderlust Team would see them. A Heroic Soul was able to force a Warlock Saint to such a state. Who could comment on such a person? Who could guess such a character? At least George and Odin felt that they were not qualified.
"That Wang Zhong …"
"Don't worry, Scarlet. He might have been delayed by something, but I believe that Wang Zhong will definitely return safely!"
The news that Hyde and the others had returned quickly spread throughout the entire Exploration Team Department. Immediately after, it was reported to the higher-ups. The Explorers were the ones who started the battle in the Shadow Moon Fortress, so the mission reports were naturally submitted to them first. Great Teacher Sophia was not in charge of this, but someone else — — Murphy.
Murphy was a new Great Teacher in the north base. The Patriarch Society was responsible for the distribution of the overall strength of the Holy Battle. Murphy's situation was completely voluntary. In fact, he did not need to come to this Holy Battle, but the north was in a difficult situation. Murphy had received Sacred Teacher Leyson's help before, so he naturally would not sit back and do nothing in this situation. As an alchemist master, his support for the Holy Battle was definitely strong.
After he came to the base, he was immediately put in an important position. Compared to Sophia, his authority in the base was even higher because he could directly report to the Sacred Teacher. Usually, he could not disturb the Sacred Teacher, but this news was very valuable, especially since it was related to Wang Zhong. Back then, Murphy had given Wang Zhong face because of the Sacred Teacher. The Sacred Teacher should be willing to hear news about him.
… …
Muwei City, the Warlock Saint's residence, laboratory.
Sauron had tried twice to strip away Wang Zhong's soul, but he still failed. He could not remove Wang Zhong's soul, but he already understood Wang Zhong's condition.
When his spiritual power penetrated deep into Wang Zhong's body, he could sense the existence of Wang Zhong's soul more than once. However, Sauron could not even touch Wang Zhong's soul.
Wang Zhong must have wanted to escape the detection of his divine sense and used some kind of secret technique to scatter his soul. However, he had scattered his soul too much, and he had gone too deep … Sauron could not imagine how this human, who did not even have the qualifications to touch souls, had managed to do this. However, there was no doubt that this fellow was playing with fire. Even Sauron's Soul Separation Technique could not remove Wang Zhong's scattered soul. There was probably nothing in this world that could save this human's soul.
Simply put, this fellow's experimental value was greatly reduced. This made Sauron feel that it was a pity. He wanted to forcefully remove the mask, but in comparison, the price offered by the royal family was more objective. As for whether the royal family could remove the mask, it had nothing to do with him. Although Wang Zhong's soul was gone, it was indeed a living target.
After determining the value of the mask, Sauron's target was no longer Wang Zhong. Instead, he wanted to obtain what he wanted from the royal family. This time, he had suffered a huge loss, and he hoped to make up for it to the greatest extent.
To Wang Zhong, this was also an opportunity. He only needed to wait for an opportunity.
News from the Mizobudapi royal family finally arrived.
It could be seen that even in front of the Mizobudapi royal family, Sauron was rather influential. Ever since the arrest warrant was issued, there had been many Octopus people scammers, causing the royal family to be very annoyed. However, a Warlock Saint would not speak without thinking, especially when he said that he had obtained the sword from the Sword Faction.
The person who came to pass the message was not a random servant, but a Great Warlock of the royal family. He was not tall and was rather young. Although he was only wearing a silver robe, the phoenix pattern on his robe indicated his identity as a member of the royal family. This was also a form of respect for the Warlock Saint, even though this Warlock Saint did not have a good reputation.
"Great Warlock Sauron." There was a respectful smile on the face of the Great Warlock of the royal family, but he did not seem to be fawning over Wang Zhong. "My uncles asked me to come and take a look first to confirm the condition of the target so that they can use it as a reference. You know that the situation has been rather complicated recently. Eh? Can this human's mask not be removed?"
The sword had been confirmed. It was impossible to imitate the treasure of the Sword Faction. Any other Sword Saint would probably care more about this kind of treasure, but to a Warlock Saint, the sword of a Sword Saint was worthless.
Sauron smiled. "This thing is connected to his nerves and is a treasure. If you did not want him alive, I would definitely remove it. Of course, if you are worried, as long as the transaction is completed, you can do whatever you want with it. If it does not match, you can look for me at any time. I, Sauron, will not fool you with this kind of thing."
"Sir, you must be joking. The sword is real, and the body shape is completely the same. Furthermore, with your identity, we naturally believe you. As for how to deal with it, it is not up to me to decide." The young Great Warlock smiled and said, "It's just that your conditions have exceeded our expectations by quite a lot. The royal uncles, especially the Sword Faction's sect leader, still hate the fact that this human killed Heinrich even more. I think they want to vent their anger more than anything else. Perhaps they won't consider the value of this human."
Sauron was very experienced with such formal words and would not waste his breath arguing with him. Although he was a child of the royal family, he was just a messenger in front of Sauron. As long as Sauron reported to the royal family how much he valued this human and Wang Zhong's value, those old things would naturally understand where his bottom line was. He was going to ask for an exorbitant price. What could he do about it? Don't mention the Sword Faction Suzerain at every turn. Sauron had no worries and was free. The Warlock Saint was free and unfettered. If he was really angered and they could not come to an agreement, who would be afraid of who?
"You just need to pass the message to them. I will personally talk to them tomorrow night. I hope that they will consider it clearly," said Sauron calmly. He did not want to waste time with a junior. As long as the other party confirmed that the goods were real, it would be fine. He was sure that the other party was definitely not just venting their anger. There might be other reasons for such a large-scale arrest warrant, but he did not know what they were.
Simba sent the information back to Wang Zhong in time. He finally knew the exact time. Furthermore, the situation was unexpectedly smooth. It was so good that Wang Zhong felt that his luck was a little too good.
First of all, Sauron set the time to be at night. Compared to the day, it was obviously more convenient for him to escape at night. Secondly, Sauron said that he was going to the royal city to negotiate with the other party. This meant that this city was not the royal city. According to the situation, there was a certain distance between cities no matter how close they were. This was an opportunity.
"Look after him. Don't stop the experiment. I want as much data as possible." Before Sauron left, he said, "In addition, without my orders, no one is allowed to enter the laboratory. If someone tries to barge in, you just need to lock the door of the laboratory and activate the protective array. I will sense it. Just wait for me to come back."
Sauron was rather cautious. Even when he left, he still took precautions. The royal family would definitely not use force against him. However, if they sent him to negotiate, they would shamelessly send people to take him away. After that, they would give him a moderate price and find two big shots to smooth things over. If that happened, he would not be able to vent his anger even if he wanted to. Of course, he would not allow such a situation to happen. It would only take more than an hour to travel from Muwei City to the royal city. Furthermore, the arcane array in his laboratory was the work of his painstaking efforts.
