After a while, Nina slowly woke up and burst into tears. She blamed herself while crying, "I am a sinner of the Elf Empire! I am a sinner of the Elf Empire! I shouldn't be alive..."
She cried louder and louder, and her mournful cries even attracted Earl White and others.
Earl White saw the chaotic scene and looked at Martin who was busy comforting Nina. He knew that he could not cause trouble for him at this moment, so he silently called Karen and others and quietly left the room.
Martin hadn't expected Nina to commit suicide. Looking at the elf girl crying bitterly before him, he reluctantly offered a few words of comfort: "Don't worry, no elves will know it was you who said that. Okay, okay, don't cry."
But Martin's comfort made Nina cry even harder.
There was really nothing I could do, so I had to hand over the task of comforting her to the maid, and earnestly instructed her: "Don't let her commit suicide again. If anything happens, notify me immediately."
As he said this, he handed a communication crystal to the maid, then turned and left the guest room.
Returning to the study, Martin sat down and took out the communication crystal, thinking of asking Duke Merlin if he had any solution for the sacrifice.
The call was quickly connected, and Martin quickly spoke first: "Duke Merlin, are you busy now? I have something I want to ask you for advice."
Duke Merlin responded cheerfully, "I'm not busy right now. If you have anything to ask, just ask, little Martin."
Martin cleared his throat and said, "It's like this. I discovered a secret realm. To enter it, you need to make a sacrifice. But once you enter, the sacrificer will become food for others and be sacrificed."
"I just want to ask, is there any way to resist this kind of sacrifice, or destroy this sacrificial mechanism?"
Duke Merlin fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, he slowly said, "I'm familiar with the situation you describe. I've personally experienced it. Back then, a dozen legendary warriors from Charlemagne's royal family were killed in a similar secret realm. The secret realm we encountered back then was exactly the same as what you described."
"This kind of secret realm is usually set up by elves or angels. The one we encountered back then was an angel's secret realm, and there were also creatures living there. However, the number of these creatures remained in a relatively balanced range."
"The secret realm will only open when the sacrificial magic circle senses that the energy input from the outside world has reached a specific requirement. Once a creature enters, all creatures in the secret realm will be instantly sacrificed. The energy generated by these sacrifices will be replenished to the secret realm's core."
"As long as a living being is inside, the energy will be directly transferred into that living being. Back then, it was a small secret realm, fortunately it was only used to help advance to a higher realm. If only..."
Having said that, Duke Merlin paused and did not continue.
After hearing this, Martin quickly asked, "Duke Merlin, is there any way to restrain or destroy this sacrificial array?"
Duke Merlin shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm not sure. Perhaps there is a way, but I really don't know. Perhaps those royal families with deep connections will know."
"This kind of formation is quite troublesome. It is said that it takes a long time to make the creatures in the secret realm be contaminated with a certain aura of mine. No, maybe it is something else."
"This process is extremely long. Once all the creatures in the secret realm are infected, we can just sit and wait for the right person to come. If the energy meets the standard, the sacrifice will be initiated immediately; if the energy does not meet the standard, even the door to the secret realm cannot be entered."
Martin felt that he had gained a lot from listening to Duke Merlin's story.
Although I didn't learn the specific method to crack the secret realm of sacrifice, I did learn a lot of key information.
Afterwards, the two talked about the problems in the southern border. Martin told Duke Merlin that he had sent dragon knights to the southern border. The Duke was very happy to hear that.
After talking for a few more sentences, Martin heard the sound of Duke Merlin's door opening, so he tactfully planned to end the call. However, Duke Merlin happened to have something to do, so the two of them hung up.
At this moment, Martin was in the study, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingers, wondering who else he could ask about the secret realm of sacrifice.
In desperation, he took out the communication crystal used to contact the Shadow Intelligence Guild.
The call was quickly connected, and Xiaoyi's cheerful voice came over: "Grand Duke Martin, are you ready to pay back the money?"
Martin touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I have something to ask your president. Please transfer me."
Xiaoyi didn't ask any more questions and replied, "Okay, I'll transfer you now."
Soon, the voice of the Shadow Intelligence Guild's president echoed through the communication crystal. Martin spoke first, "President, I'm a bit tight on cash lately. I'm afraid I'll have to pay back that debt later."
The president was open-minded and responded directly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back. In fact, I want to ask you for a favor."
Hearing that he didn't have to pay back the money, Martin immediately became interested and asked the president how he could help. The president didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "We discovered a secret realm, but it's an orc secret realm."
"The Orc Kingdom is pressuring us to withdraw from the secret realm, but the guild disagrees, leading to a conflict between the two sides. I'd like you to help us seize this secret realm."
Martin thought for a moment and said, "I can agree to this condition. However, the 10 million I paid isn't enough. I need all the information on this."
After saying that, Martin edited the details of the secret realm sacrifice and sent it over.
After receiving the message, there was no response for a long time, as if they were weighing the pros and cons.
Martin was not in a hurry to urge him. After all, since he learned about the huge benefits contained in the secret realm, he was sure that the president would agree to his conditions.
As expected, not long after, the president agreed to his request and sent him the solution and precautions regarding the Sacrifice Secret Realm. He also said, "Martin White, once you resolve the issue in the Southern Territory, you must come and help me immediately."
Martin readily agreed: "No problem, I will definitely send someone over when the time comes."
Then, the two ended the communication.
Looking at the information displayed on the communication crystal, Martin couldn't help but laugh. He was filled with joy at the thought that he would soon own this large secret realm.
He was secretly delighted as he read the message, but when he saw the second solution, his smile gradually froze and he slowly put down the communication crystal.
He closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and fell into deep thought, seriously considering the feasibility of this method.
Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, Martin suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and said loudly: "Fortune and honor are sought in danger. Let's do it!"
