While waiting for the Alien Association and Vorgal to retrieve the war beast, Todd contacted the troops in the city and inquired about the current situation.

In total, over six thousand slaves have been freed from their shackles, and this number is rapidly increasing; valuables worth over two million gold coins have been seized from noble mansions and castle treasuries, packed and shipped to the port; the Knights of the North Island, maintaining order in the city, have prevented several massacres organized by slaves, but according to Ivy, these newly freed slaves are unleashing their anger and resentment upon the city, and even with their constant patrols, the Valkyries can only quell some of the violence.

In addition to the above information, there was another crucial matter that was reported to Todd.

One tribe, while searching a slave market, found a large number of ledgers and notes in the market's treasury, which contained very detailed records of the Father Church's involvement in the slave trade.

When Todd learned of this news, he was overjoyed. In his view, this evidence would be the best weapon to attack the church.

Todd immediately ordered the tribe to preserve all the evidence properly and bring it back to the ship as a priority.

After these matters were settled, the sun began to set in the west, and the stars began to twinkle in the sky.

At this moment, Vorgal and the Alien Association also returned to the open space at the cave entrance with a giant skeletal wolf.

Looking at the blood-red, gaping, and aggressive war beast, Todd slowly walked forward.

Amid gasps of surprise from the crowd, Todd placed his hand on the giant wolf's head.

A few seconds later, the ferocity in the giant wolf's eyes slowly disappeared, and it looked at the human in front of it with a puzzled expression.

Todd patted its head, and this ferocious and savage war beast actually lay down on the ground and wagged its tail like an ordinary house dog.

Todd breathed a sigh of relief; the soul link ability could indeed soothe the bloodthirsty soul of the war beast and reduce its desire to attack.

But Todd quickly frowned again. Why was this happening?

Soul links, soul spaces, psychic mediums, and the ability of war beasts to distinguish friend from foe—these seemingly illogical things led Todd, who was essentially a materialist, to begin to think that there must be a reasonable explanation behind them.

If we can unravel the secrets of these mysteries, we might just be able to figure out the truth behind the whole world.
