Linda: "What was the result?"
"The three of them met with a high-ranking member of the Dragon's Rest Tomb outside the city."
I didn't alert them and returned to the academy.
Since they were taken into the Ice Abyss by Lord Lengyue, there must be a reason for it. If we touch them, we will be noticed.
The fact that Leng Yue Gong took in people connected to the Dragon's Rest Tomb and brought them into the Ice Abyss makes it hard not to suspect her motives.
Bai Luo narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Moreover, Leng Yuegong's sister, the former Grand Commander of the Knights, is one of the current Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan."
She personally signed a contract with the Demon King, becoming the most powerful witch at present.
Perhaps, Lady Lengyue had already followed in her sister's footsteps and become a witch.
No, not at all.
Linda shook her head inwardly.
With Kafni by his side, Kafni can recognize the witch if she appears.
In short, there are many suspicious points surrounding Evelyn.
Linda, an adventurer ranked in the top ten of the Sacred Tree list, would not want to antagonize Evelyn unless the evidence was irrefutable. Defeating this woman was far too difficult; even a level 90 Dark Shadow wouldn't be confident, at least level 95 would be needed.
Linda: "What about the other two suspected 'masterminds'?"
Bai Luo looked at Anna and said meaningfully, "You should know very well, right?"
"I think it's unlikely."
Anna tilted her head. "She's probably the one who likes Captain the most."
"Is that so?" Bai Luo remained noncommittal.
Are you speaking in riddles?
Linda said helplessly, "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me directly."
Bai Luo: "Since you are confident in accepting Anna's request, you must have some understanding of the teacher's original adventure team."
The original vice-captain, [Hell's Judgment] Tina.
This is the person I find most suspicious.
"Why?"
Linda asked in confusion. Tina was the first character he liked the most; her strength and looks were top-notch. He couldn't bear to buy new clothes for himself, but he bought several skins for Tina.
Swimsuits, New Year's cheongsams, all-black stockings... My wallet is emptied.
"Because Tina acted so calmly, as if she had expected it all along."
The Tina I know should dig up the area where the captain went missing, see if anyone is underground.
Moreover, Tina left with half of her team the next day.
Their whereabouts remain unknown.
Bai Luo said coldly, "Most of the remaining team members are following a person who claims to be the reincarnation of a teacher, and whose title is [Shadow of Darkness]. He is the third suspect I suspect."
"The Shadow of Darkness?"
Linda was a little confused.
How come all sorts of scoundrels have jumped out as soon as the Dark Shadow disappeared? They're obviously using his name to swindle people!
Bai Luo: "He also invited me to join, but I refused. That kind of scum doesn't even have a third of the teacher's strength; he's just a fraudster imitating the teacher. I really don't know what people are thinking that people would believe in such scum."
After hearing Bai Luo's words, a brief silence fell over the living room.
Bai Luo revealed a great deal of information.
Firstly, the three mysterious adventurers taken in by Lengyue Gong have ties to the Dragon's Rest Tomb.
Secondly, Tina disappeared with half of the main team members, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Thirdly, there is the imposter "Dark Shadow," who claims to be the reincarnation of the Dark Shadow.
The mastermind behind this is most likely one of these three.
Linda thought to himself, "Since that 'Shadow of Darkness' was able to gather half of the original team members, he must be quite powerful."
If Tina were still alive, with her talent, at least the laws would apply.
Evelyn is the most troublesome; she was level 95 in version 1.0, and I wonder how many she'll be now.
Linda sighed. Even though he had trained diligently for a year, his strength was still insufficient. His enemies were all ridiculously strong.
I must obtain the key called the "Key to the Ocean" from within the Ice Abyss.
This is precisely the item Linda used to travel to the Ice Abyss.
With the key, you can unlock a secret realm located in the distant ocean.
The reward inside is an extremely rare Law Core!
With it, Linda's path to level 80 will be unobstructed.
"Thank you for informing me; these clues are very helpful. If we make any new discoveries in the future, we can exchange information and work together to find the mastermind behind it all."
“It’s possible,” Bai Luo said, puzzled. “How much did Anna pay you? You must know how dangerous this is.”
"Because I am a man of my word."
Linda mumbled.
It concerns me personally, so I can't afford to be careless.
“Let’s get down to business. We’ve been asking you questions all along, and I’m a little embarrassed,” Linda said. “Let me meet your friend. With my current abilities, I should be able to purify the pollution in her body.”
"About this."
Bai Luo shook her head: "She's not here."
Linda wasn't surprised; keeping the witch around was too dangerous.
Bai Luo stated frankly, "I hid her in a dark room on the top floor of the ice tower."
"Ice Tower."
Linda frowned.
This is a training facility within the Ice Abyss Training Camp.
The Ice Tower contains many traps and monsters; each floor you ascend grants you cultivation points. As for the top floor, in the decades since Ice Abyss was founded, no more than three people have ever reached it.
"The extreme cold inside the ice tower can indeed suppress the witch's corruption, but staying there for a long time is not advisable."
"Yes, the situation is not optimistic."
Bai Luo said, "If you don't come this year, I'm already planning to come and get you."
How much time is left?
"One year."
"That's certainly not a good sign."
Linda thought for a moment and said, "However, leave it to me."
