Soon, Kaede Sato entered the largest building in the center of the encampment. Along the way, the passersby greeted him spontaneously, and he politely returned their greetings. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Halfway through, he even "bumped into" Lucy, the medical trainer.
Seeing a beautiful woman, Pikachu was naturally very happy. He immediately jumped onto Lucy's shoulder and was ready to take advantage of his cute appearance to take advantage of her.
However, before Pikachu could take advantage of her, a long tongue tied him up and quickly pulled the lifeless Pikachu back to Kaede Sato's side.
The sprite that made the move was naturally the Hidden Dragon on Kaede Sato's shoulder. It was unknown when it started, but the Hidden Dragon had become very responsible. He had even stopped Pikachu from taking advantage of her recently.
Regarding this, Pikachu was naturally very unhappy and resisted at first.
Unfortunately, the Hidden Dragon's method of dealing with Pikachu was very effective. He directly took the lightning rod characteristic from Pikachu, which made Pikachu dumbfounded.
However, Pikachu did not give up because of this. He continued to try other moves to teach the Hidden Dragon a lesson.
However, the Hidden Dragon was no longer the same as before. In addition, he had been taught various stealth and sneak attacks by Kaede Sato. Stealth and sneak attacks had become his combat instinct. He had completely transformed into a sly little elf.
On the other hand, Pikachu had lost his strongest weapon, the Lightning Element. His combat power had been greatly reduced. In addition to his fragile body, the Hidden Dragon relied on stealth and sneak attacks to defeat Pikachu.
After a few futile struggles, Pikachu finally admitted that he could not do anything to the Hidden Dragon for the time being. He could only cry and endure the Hidden Dragon's exploitation.
Of course, Pikachu's nature could not be changed. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would still continue to fight. He was never tired of it.
"Mr. Zhe Ping, it's great that you're back safely. I was worried that something might have happened to you when you weren't around for a few days. But now, it seems that the harsh desert environment can't stop you from moving forward."
When Lucy saw Pikachu being taken away by the Hidden Dragon, she smiled awkwardly and then flattered Kaede Sato as if nothing had happened.
Ever since that night, the green-haired lady often appeared by Kaede Sato's side, showing concern for his well-being. She even sent Kaede Sato a lot of good stuff in private.
Kaede Sato was well aware of Lucy's motive for taking the initiative to please him. She wanted to give him a hand when he was in danger during the exploration of the ruins.
In this regard, Kaede Sato did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Lucy had three Healing Fairies that could use the Healing Wish technique. If used well, they were no less than a trump card that could turn the tables.
A superhuman and a medical trainer, this could be considered a mutually beneficial combination. Of course, in the end, Lucy still had the advantage.
There was nothing wrong with being courted, especially by a beautiful woman who took the initiative to court him. Moreover, it was a beautiful woman from an extremely prominent family who took the initiative to court him. As a normal man, Kaede Sato naturally could not remain indifferent.
"Thank you for your concern. This desert trip was quite rewarding. By the way, Mr. Kamiyo is still looking for me. Let's talk later when we have time."
Therefore, on the surface, he still treated Lucy, a snobbish lady, as a friend. He also spoke to Lucy in a kind tone.
"I see. Then I won't disturb you anymore. See you later. This is for you."
When Lucy heard that Kaede Sato had something important to do, and it was to meet with the famous Heavenly King-level trainer, Kamiyo, she quickly gave up on pestering Kaede Sato. She smiled and stepped aside, then handed some fresh dates to Kaede Sato.
Like the general oasis, date palm trees were very common plants in oases. At the same time, they were also very important food in the desert. Their fruits were one of the few delicacies in the desert.
These red dates were obviously freshly picked and washed. Kaede Sato did not refuse. He threw one into his mouth and took a bite. The sweet juice burst out in his mouth, giving him a good sense of satisfaction.
Pikachu and the Hidden Dragon also had a good appetite for sweets. In a short while, before they even reached the center of the station, the dozen dates that Lucy gave to Kaede Sato were all eaten by the three of them.
"Mr. Zheping, please come in. Mr. Kamiyo is in the hall."
When a young guard at the door saw Kaede Sato, he immediately greeted Kaede Sato warmly, then told Kaede Sato where Kamiyo was at the moment.
Kaede Sato smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. He handed over a date hidden in his palm to the guard and strode into the hall.
When Kaede Sato entered the hall, Kamiyo, the archaeologist, was holding a magnifying glass and focusing on a broken stone tablet. He did not notice Kaede Sato's arrival at all.
When Kaede Sato saw this, he did not say anything. He just quietly waited for Kamiyo to come back to his senses.
At this time, Kamiyo was not alone in the hall. At the same time, Hughes, Ryo Hei, and a black-haired woman that he had never met before were also there. The three of them were just like Kaede Sato, quietly waiting at the side. They did not go forward to disturb Kamiyo's research.
Although Kaede Sato did not have much contact with Kamiyo, he had learned some facts from some of the people close to him.
Although Kanzaki was normally gentle and polite, if someone disturbed him while he was conducting research or even interrupted his train of thought, Kanzaki would fly into a rage. Perhaps he might even become serious.
Therefore, no matter what, Kaede Sato could not go up to him. After all, his opponent was a fierce character who could single-handedly fight six Heavenly King Tier wild fairies and escape unscathed.
About ten minutes later, Kamiyo who had been thinking hard but could not come up with any results could only regretfully put down the stone tablet fragment in his hand. He then stretched his sore body. Then, he quickly noticed Kaede Sato who had been standing by the door.
"You're finally back, Zheping. How was it? Did you find the Phantom Tower?"
Because of Kaede Sato's strength that night, and Kaede Sato's humility and politeness, Kamiyo had a very good impression of Kaede Sato. As soon as he saw Kaede Sato, he immediately showed a sincere smile and went up to greet Kaede Sato.
Hughes, Heimu Liang, and the unknown black-haired woman saw that Kamiyo actually ignored the three of them who came first and warmly greeted Kaede Sato who came last.
The three of them did not look good. They cursed in their hearts, but the three of them did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Their faces were as stiff as statues.
"That's right, Kanzaki-san. I walked in the desert for a few days and finally found the Tower of Illusion. I even met with Sirona -san in there. It was all thanks to her generosity in explaining the Tower of Illusion to me that I was able to gain so much from it."
Kaede Sato also ignored Hughes, Seiji, and Seiji's burning eyes. He smiled widely and then honestly answered Kanzaki's question.
When Kanzaki heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Obviously, this archeologist didn't think that Kaede Sato would actually be able to find the Tower of Shadows in the desert. The only reason he asked this was just a casual question.
When he heard that Kaede Sato really found the Phantom Tower and was lucky enough to meet Sirona and learn the secret of the Phantom Tower from Sirona, he was also shocked.
Kamiyo was not the only one who was shocked. Hughes, Heimu Liang, and the black-haired woman were also shocked. When they heard Kamiyo's question to Kaede Sato, they all thought that Kaede Sato could not find the Phantom Tower. They were waiting to see Kaede Sato make a fool of himself.
Who would have thought that Kaede Sato would actually find it? He even said that he met the Goddess Sirona and gained a lot of benefits.
"Tsk, lucky bastard."
For a moment, the three of them could not help but feel envious and jealous. They all thought the same thing.
"Looks like you're a very lucky person. That damn place can move on its own. If you don't have any special means, you can only rely on luck to find it in the desert. Alright, let's not talk about this. I called you here because I have something important to ask of you."
Kamiyo was a wily old fox. He quickly hid the surprise on his face and continued to put on an amiable smile. He patted Kaede Sato's shoulder and praised him.
"Oh right, and you guys."
After that, he finally noticed Hughes and the others, and said indifferently, "Don't worry.
After about five to six minutes, Kaede Sato, Hughes, and the others came out of the building. At this time, except for Kaede Sato, the other three did not look very happy. Heimu Liang, who had the worst temper, looked like everyone owed him millions.
