She was his direct superior and also the Teacher of his girlfriend, Si Jiali. This kind of relationship should have been very close. Everyone in the Exploration Team Department thought so too. However, for some reason, Wang Zhong could not get close to Sophia after interacting with her a few times. He had a subconscious resistance and vigilance, which made him temporarily give up on the idea of following Great Teacher Sophia's path.
Next would be Great Teacher Murphy or Great Teacher C 'Thun. However, Great Teacher Murphy had returned to the Holy City because he had some matters to attend to. He had only met Great Teacher C' Thun once. Although Great Teacher C 'Thun had helped him, they were not very close. After thinking about it, he finally turned his attention to Great Teacher Lan Daier.
Although she was only a Heroic Soul Teacher, Lan Daier was also the Deputy Chief Logistics of the northern battlefield. She definitely had the power to speak directly to the higher-ups. This was one of the best ways for him to report information. Of course, the most important thing was that ever since he met Lan Daier before he left the Holy Land, he had never had the chance to see her. This time, he definitely had to visit her.
… He just hoped that she would not flip out.
Teacher Lan Daier's residence was behind the Exploration Team Department, in the deepest part of the canyon. It was also the safest place in the entire base.
Above his head was a massive Trust aircraft carrier floating in the air. Around him were steep cliffs and strict defenses. This was also where the headquarters of the Holy City Army was located. Wang Zhong was extraordinarily popular in the north battlefield. Wherever he went, soldiers would stare at him. He asked the soldiers where Lan Daier lived. It was the same as the bulky houses that everyone lived in, except that it was bigger. No one would have thought that a Holy Battle that was so 'important' would turn into a protracted war.
He did not know if Teacher Lan Daier was around. Just as he was about to knock on the door, a hostile voice sounded from behind him. "Aiyo, isn't this Great Teacher Wang! What a rare guest! "
He knew it was Ella the moment he heard the voice. Wang Zhong did not know whether to laugh or cry at the strong unhappiness in her voice. "Hello, Senior Sister Ella! Is Teacher Lan Daier here? "
Ella walked over from behind with a sealed box in her hands. When she looked at Wang Zhong, her eyes were slanted. She did not answer his question at all and only said, "Hmph, you only dared to come when your girlfriend is not here? What do you think this place is? Don't tell me that you have work to report. Our Food Department has nothing to do with your Exploration Team Department! "
"Recently, I have indeed encountered some troublesome matters. I just came back. Sister Daier is the most generous one, so she won't blame me."
"Are you saying that I'm stingy?" Ella's eyes widened, and her chest heaved up and down. "Our teacher is not here! Please go back! "
Wang Zhong was speechless to meet such a little pepper. Just as he was about to speak, the door opened automatically.
After not seeing her for a few months, Lan Daier seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Perhaps it was because there was too much work in the gourmet department after they entered the Holy War. She was wearing a work robe that looked like a white lab coat, and the long robe fluttered on her body. Her beautiful hair was tied up casually with a hairband, and she did not have any makeup on her face. She looked very delicate.
Lan Daier had long heard the noise outside the door. When she opened the door, she saw that it was Wang Zhong. Lan Daier did not have the dissatisfaction and jealousy that Ella had. Instead, she had a smile on her face. "Why are you free to come to my place today? Come in and we'll talk. "
Wang Zhong winked at Ella in a demonstrative manner, causing Ella to snort in anger. Lan Daier smiled knowingly. No matter what kind of achievements he had, Wang Zhong was still the same Wang Zhong. She had not misjudged him.
Although they had not seen each other for a few months, the natural intimacy between them did not seem to have been affected at all. The only one who was unhappy was probably Ella. She glared at Wang Zhong, even though she did not have a beard. "Teacher Daier, there is an experiment today. Oh right, there is also top-secret information!"
As she spoke, she took out a pile of encrypted rune information from her space crystal. She was still targeting Wang Zhong. Deep down, she probably felt that Wang Zhong and her teacher were very suitable.
"Okay, okay. Put it on the information table."
Her casual instruction did not affect Lan Daier's decision to invite Wang Zhong into the room. This made Ella very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do. After all, Teacher Lan Daier was a Teacher … However, Teacher Lan Daier was really disappointing. Look at her bright smile when she saw that ingrate … She did not even care about her work anymore. She even said that she did not care. It was as if she had been waiting for that ingrate to come knocking on her door.
This was really infuriating! However, there was one thing that Ella did not notice. Lan Daier was enthusiastic, but she seemed to be a little distant. Wang Zhong could feel that Lan Daier's smile was sincere, but it was restrained. Compared to the past when she talked to him about everything and dared to joke around with him, she had actually changed quietly. After all, some things had changed a little, and this was normal.
This room was indeed very large. The layout of the room did not look like a normal bedroom at all. On the contrary, it looked more like a studio. Behind a curtain in the middle of the room, there was steam rising and a fragrant aroma. This should be the place where some dishes were experimented on. In the area in front of him, there were several workbenches filled with various information. On the left side, there were two very simple and crude beds. The blankets on the beds were neatly folded, completely different from the various casual beds that Wang Zhong had seen in Lan Daier's house.
The battlefield of the Holy Battle was far more than just fighting on the front lines. The logistics work was often much busier than fighting on the front lines. Sister Lan Daier was usually a lazy person, but now, she had been working hard.
Wang Zhong felt a little emotional and placed a large bag of gifts on the table. Before he returned to the Holy Land, he had asked Ma Dong to get some local specialties from the Cloud Region. They were not expensive and were nothing more than some Xuanwei ham or pastries from the Cloud Region.
The Cloud Region was Lan Daier's hometown. When he talked to Lan Daier about everything, Wang Zhong heard Lan Daier reminiscing about her childhood in her hometown more than once. However, she was in the Holy City. After becoming a Teacher, even Lan Daier's parents had moved here as family members. Thus, she rarely had the chance to taste the local flavor of her hometown.
The simple gifts made Lan Daier's eyes light up. In her eyes, these local things were more precious than any gold and silver items. In the past few months after the Holy Battle, Wang Zhong had not been in contact with her. He did not even send her a message on Skylink. Although Lan Daier had always said that this was the right thing to do and wished him and Scarlet well, it was inevitable that she would feel a faint sense of loss in the depths of her heart. From the looks of it, Wang Zhong wasn't an ungrateful person. He remembered the words he had said to him before.
The smile on her face became more relaxed. Even Lan Daier found it somewhat funny. She had thought that she did not care at all, but when he really cared about her, she was still very happy. "I heard that you made quite a big move when you returned to Earth this time. That's right, weren't you at the rear of the Octopus people? Why did you suddenly go to Earth? Come, come, come. Tell me. I'm very curious. "
How Wang Zhong had infiltrated the enemy's rear, how he had turned the Octopus people upside down, and how he had returned to Earth had always been the most mysterious and curious content in the eyes of the people in the north who were paying attention to this matter. However, even in the bar yesterday, as this matter involved many secrets, Wang Zhong had not told anyone about it. At that moment, he talked tirelessly about all kinds of thrilling and exciting experiences. Even Ella, who had been very unhappy, could not help but be attracted by his voice. She pretended to organize the information at the side, but she pricked up her ears.
He talked about his dispute with Warlock Saint Sauron, the cowardly Tatamu, the mysterious and powerful phoenix remains, and even the memories that the Holy Saint Teacher had left behind in the remains.
After understanding Wang Zhong's series of experiences, Lan Daier and Ella were dumbfounded. The legends were true. Wang Zhong was already a Semi-Heavenly Soul, and he was a Semi-Heavenly Soul with very powerful combat power. Not only did he shine brilliantly in the battle with the Octopus people Saints, he had even killed two Heavenly Soul experts from the Zhao Family after returning to Earth … This had definitely far surpassed their combat power. A few months ago, Wang Zhong was just a small Initial Phase Heroic Soul. Under Lan Daier's personal guidance, he grew step by step. She did not expect him to reach this level in just a few months.
She was shocked at how fast Wang Zhong's strength had increased and at the authenticity of the rumors. In fact, the truth sounded even more exaggerated than the rumors! When she heard Wang Zhong emphasize the situation at the rear of the Octopus people and the guidance from the Holy Saint Teacher's memories, Lan Daier finally furrowed her eyebrows.
Of course, she had absolute trust in Wang Zhong and did not doubt the authenticity of this at all. She was also completely aware of the seriousness of this problem.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if the Octopus people really had thousands of Saint-leveled people like Wang Zhong had said, then according to the normal ratio, they would have at least a dozen Sword Gods and Warlock Gods! This kind of power was definitely not something that the current Holy City Army could contend against. Even Sacred Teacher Leyson, who was extremely powerful, could not do so! The humans were not afraid of the Octopus people's power, but they would need to gather the power of the entire Holy Land, countless secret realms, countless family powers, and even the majority of Sacred Teachers who were hidden in the dark. In addition, with the help of the Holy Land's powerful logistics and various advanced war machines, they would be able to guarantee their victory in this Holy Battle.
This amount of information and this action were too big. Furthermore, once it was confirmed, the final result of this Holy Battle would very likely result in the Holy City Army returning without achieving anything. The Holy Land would not mobilize the power of the entire Holy Land to invade a level-3 civilization. That would not be an invasion. That would be risking their lives!
No matter how enviable the resources in the Mizobudapi World were, it was not enough to offset the dangers that the humans would face. The gains did not make up for the losses. It was impossible for the Sacred Teachers to immediately gather and fight to the death with the Octopus people.
This was a huge matter. Retreat? After expending so much manpower and resources, they did not obtain any benefits. Instead, they had lost many soldiers. Would the higher-ups in the Holy Land easily agree to this? Could they agree? Did they have the right to agree? Not to mention the other losses, the various large families and factions that had already lost a large number of troops didn't gain any benefits from this loss. The next time the Holy Land wanted to make a big move, it would be even more difficult for them to send troops out.
It could be said that they were in an absolute dilemma. This was definitely not a situation that the higher-ups in the Holy Land wanted to face. It could be said that while Wang Zhong's information had given them a warning of danger, it had also brought them massive trouble. The higher-ups of the Holy City Army were in a dilemma because of information that was difficult to verify brought back by a small Heroic Soul. The result was definitely not good.
This was not a great merit, but a great mistake.
"This matter can't be leaked. Not only can you not say it, but you can't report it through normal channels either. If not, it will easily affect the morale of the army. Then, no matter how outstanding your performance in this Holy Battle is, the higher-ups will definitely not be able to protect you. Some extremists will even vent their anger on you …"
This was also the reason why Wang Zhong did not announce his journey to the public. He did not even mention it to the members of the Wanderlust Team. It was not that he did not trust them, but this matter was indeed very important. The more people who knew about it, the more dangerous it would be. However, it was obviously impossible for him to ignore this matter. He had actually come to find Lan Daier today to discuss this matter. Wang Zhong knew that Lan Daier definitely understood his thoughts and did not reply. He simply waited for her to continue.
"It's best if you can discuss this matter with Sacred Teacher in private …" Lan Daier pondered for a long time. As one of the higher-ups in the Holy City Army, even though she was in charge of different areas and could not participate in strategic decisions, she often interacted with the higher-ups and had a rather good understanding of the higher-ups in the Holy City Army. "Sacred Teacher Leyson has a rather easy-going personality and cherishes talents. If you tell him this matter in private, regardless of whether he believes you or not, he will definitely not cause trouble for himself. As for how Sacred Teacher Leyson will decide, that will be up to the higher-ups. This is the best method. Furthermore, I think that there is a high chance that Sacred Teacher Leyson will believe you. He has always advocated for stability in this battle and believes that the Octopus people are not as weak as they seem. They are from the faction that firmly believes in stability. "
Speaking of which, the location of the northern battlefield when they landed was rather far from the core territory of the Octopus people. Ever since the start of the battle, they had been fighting steadily and slowly probing the enemy. This was completely different from the southern battlefield. This was not just a coincidence. It was obvious that the commander-in-chiefs of both sides had different attitudes and perceptions of this battle.
"But with my identity, I can't even meet Sacred Teacher Leyson." Wang Zhong sighed. It seemed that Lan Daier, as the Deputy Head of Logistics, did not have similar authority. If not, Lan Daier would definitely have taken on the responsibility of contacting Sacred Teacher Leyson. As expected, not everyone could meet a Sacred Teacher just because they wanted to. "It looks like I still have to follow Great Teacher Sophia's path. She should have the authority to directly contact Sacred Teacher Leyson."
