Tianshui Lake was still the same as before, except that many adventurers had gathered on the large ships nearby.
Upon learning that the lockdown had been lifted, Luo Fan noticed that many people breathed a sigh of relief.
The underground city of Tianshui is indeed a suitable hunting ground for mid-level magical beasts. However, this environment doesn't hold much appeal for Luo Fan; he prefers as many other places as possible.
After a brief handover with the guild, the ship set sail towards Tianshui Town.
Inside the cabin, Caitlin hugged Lofan tightly and hid in a secluded corner.
"What good stuff did you find this time? Those two archmages should both be wearing rings, right?" She blinked her big eyes curiously, and even lowered her voice.
A gentle breath blew by, and Luo Fan's mind wandered. He even leaned in and pressed his lips to her soft lips.
"Speak quickly, or I'll ignore you."
A spoiled princess seems quite appealing!
Luo Fan quickly took out the two rings. He had already examined their contents: many mid-level magic cores, dark and wind elemental materials, and some scrolls. As for the mountain of gold coins, he had no interest in them.
There were very few documents inside the ring, and Luo Fan didn't care about them, so he handed them all over to Caitlin.
"The method of cultivating demons, how to control demons!" Caitlin flipped through the records, muttering to herself. In the end, she even found several demon cultivation bases and the instructions on how to use those array plates.
On a simple map, Luo Fan also saw the location of the Demon Abyss marked out.
The information contained little about the Temple of Gods and Demons, suggesting that they were two different organizations.
"The Abyss of Demons and the Temple of Gods and Demons are not the same thing?"
“No. The Abyss is a special abyss where demon lords have always hated humans. The Temple of Gods and Demons is a human organization that is trying to overthrow the empire’s rule.” Caitlin explained, while also taking some things from the ring.
"Demon King? Can't they come out on their own?"
"The Abyss has a special barrier that prevents them from escaping on their own, and their power source comes from the Abyss. Otherwise, humanity would be in danger."
"What about the Gate of the Demon Abyss? Can it really lead to the realm of gods?"
"I don't know either, but I've heard that it leads to the Demon Realm, and legend has it that the Demon Realm and the God Realm are in the same world," Caitlin thought for a moment, then added. However, all she knew were legendary tales, and she wasn't entirely certain.
"Alright!" Anyway, he plans to go to the Demon Abyss to find the legendary demon core, so it will be safer to learn more information.
"Lofan, thank you so much this time!" Caitlin hugged the slime and kissed it a few more times.
"You're welcome, you'll be my future wife, hehe~"
"Damn it!"
In another small room, Ellie and Daisy were huddled together, chatting quietly.
"Daisy, our strength is still too weak!" Ellie was very frustrated. Several knights were reduced to ashes before her eyes, and she could do nothing about it.
“Well, even Xiaoxue and Xianxian are growing up quickly now, and we…” Daisy shook her head and didn’t continue.
"We must work harder and break through to the level of a high-level mage as soon as possible."
"Yes, I don't want to become a burden to everyone in the future."
When Luo Fan arrived, the two women were checking their supplies and whispering to each other.
"You want to improve your skills quickly?" Knowing their thoughts, Luo Fan was pleased but also somewhat troubled.
To break through to the level of a high-level mage, their knowledge and comprehension will be tested, and they will need to conduct more magical research.
"Hmm, otherwise we'll become a burden again once the Elf Realm opens." Ellie gazed at her pet. He already possessed the strength to kill a Magister, and the gap between them was widening.
If things continue like this, will he leave me? Lately, his relationship with the princess and Toria has improved considerably. Even when Luo Fan makes those kinds of jokes, neither of them seems offended; it looks like they're just flirting.
"How could that be? You're my good wife, don't overthink it. If you want to grow quickly, you have to go to Principal Danielle for help. She should have a lot of experience teaching people." Noticing Ellie's little thoughts, Luo Fan was very happy and quickly shared his ideas.
"Alright, after you go back, you'll undergo a month of special training. There will be plenty of various enhancement potions, and Freya will also assist you."
After listening to Luo Fan's arrangements, the two girls nodded repeatedly, making Luo Fan seem more like their master.
After calming the girls down and sharing some of his own insights with them, Luo Fan quietly left once they had all entered a meditative state.
Hehe, they're so obedient now, so it'll be quite easy to completely persuade them after they transform.
Tianshui Town still presents a prosperous scene, with many boats coming and going at the dock during the day.
"Uncle Sean, the interrogation and arrest are all up to you now!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, I know what to do." After saying this, Sean and his squad quickly disappeared.
The little slime, nestled in Caitlin's arms, reluctantly slipped out, longing for the warmth inside.
"Lofan, stop touching me. What are you thinking?" After straightening her clothes, Caitlin asked impatiently. This slime's behavior was getting more and more outrageous.
"I doubt they'll find much; those people are very cautious. We'd better act quickly and decisively, seizing this opportunity to strike a swift and decisive blow and disrupt their plans."
"Otherwise, things will become even more complicated once the secret realm opens. You'll definitely have to go in too, and who knows what changes will occur when we come out."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I already contacted my father last night."
"Holy Sea City, are you getting ready to set off?"
"Hmm, that's about it. I really want to bring you along too."
"No, please. I still need to train Ellie and the others properly. I need to use this last bit of time to raise their skill level as well."
"Sigh, I wish I had a pet as easy to care for as you!"
"Hehe, I would never abandon my Ellie."
The large ship docked in Tianshui Town for a while to resupply before setting sail again. Caitlin didn't go out on board; instead, she discussed things with Luo Fan for a long time.
Some time after they left, Sean arrested a group of people, and even Marquis Charlie was subjected to special interrogation.
Many of the upper echelons of Tianshui Town were arrested, and the brothels were also investigated. Panic gripped the town, and the adventurers who had come from there became much more behaving themselves.
After the empire sent people to take over the administration of the area, Tianshui Town gradually became stable. However, by then, the time for the opening of the secret realm was drawing ever closer.
Many forces gathered on Tianshui Lake, and even flying boats appeared, hovering along the lake before stopping near the center.
The Fairy Realm has attracted the attention of many people, and even some old-timers have frequently appeared in this azure water.
