Chapter 28: The Secret Enter the 2D ahead of time
Even though Eugene’s mana had been drained and she couldn’t use any strength, she didn’t fall unconscious.
The noisy applause, clamor, and the sound of footsteps hitting the ground mixed into one, buzzing in his ears that were close to the floor.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a face staring at him calmly.
“You’re awake?”
The other party said.
Eugene subconsciously wanted to shrink her neck, but she didn’t have the strength to do so.
“You…
You are…”
“It doesn’t matter who I am.
What matters is what you plan to do, Mr.
Eugene.”
Shaya gave him a look, and Eugene looked over in confusion.
Then, he almost peed his pants!
Gelia was lying next to him.
The reason why he didn’t notice it was because the guy had already entered the 2D world and was completely reduced to a paper man…
Mages often had a reserve of gentle magic power in their bodies.
This was their last resort in an element-free environment.
This magic power was more like a general leading an army in battle.
Following the mage’s command, it gathered the elements in the air and formed various spell structures.
However, if there were no soldiers available, they could only fight in person.
That was why the reserve of such generals was usually one level lower than that of mages.
For a Level-70 Elite Mage like Gelia, the mana in his body was enough to cast a small spell of around Level-6.
It was neither too much nor too little.
If he had been clear-headed at the last moment, he would have been able to put up a fight.
At least, it would not have been a problem for him to deal with these defeated generals who had not unlocked the anti-magic shackles.
That was why the massive mana in Gelia’s body had seeped into every nook and cranny of his body, becoming as important as his blood and flesh.
But as the ‘pillar strength’ was sucked away, Gelia was like a deflated balloon, leaving only a deflated layer of clothes and a sunken head.
“Don’t be afraid yet.
Think about how you’re going to report.”
Shaya waved her hand gently, and the paper man Gelia was blown away by a breeze.
“I have no interest in a dead beast tamer.
In other words, Sir Eugene, I hope we can make a deal.”
Before Eugene could speak, Shaya continued,”
“Time is tight, so I’ll get straight to the point.
You’ve checked so many times, but you didn’t find anything unusual here, let alone me, right?
In other words, if I want to leave, you can’t stop me, right?”
“But…”
“No buts.
Are you trying to say that His Highness the prince has indeed escaped?
It didn’t matter.
He would return, and he would be captured by Farkas from the blue crystal mine.
When Sir Gelia brought you to this alchemy room, Farkas found His Highness in the blue crystal mine…”
Shaya paused.
“Guess how he escaped?”
Eugene didn’t have time to think about anything else.
She only had time to follow Shaya’s train of thought.
“..
There’s a secret tunnel leading to the mine?”
” That’s right.
That’s why Priscilla sent people to guard the mine.”
” But why didn’t she tell us!?”
” Because she wants to let Qiao Buya go.”
“What did you say?”
Eugene was stunned.
“Don’t worry about that question.
It’s a little troublesome to explain.
Let me ask you this…If Farkas captured His Highness, I let you go, and then I disappeared-if all these things happened, then what changed?”
Eugene’s mind raced as he quickly looked at the paper man Gelia, who was blown away by Phoenix.
” Only, only Mr.
Gelia is dead…”
“That’s right, you’re smart.
If my hypothesis is correct, then it means that in less than an hour, this is the only thing that happened-”
Shaya smiled innocently as if she was telling a joke that had nothing to do with her.
“Lady Priscilla’s favorite genius mage, Mr.
Gelia, he brought 20 senior mages with him to enter the Eternal Night Tower with you to investigate the situation.
And then, under the premise of Prince Jobu’s mysterious disappearance, he and his team of mages died, while you and your subordinates walked out of the Eternal Night Tower alive and unharmed…Is that so?”
Eugene’s eyes widened, and she didn’t know what to say.
He felt that something was wrong.
Something was wrong.
However, he couldn’t tell what was wrong.
“It’s clearly the prisoners here…”
” Are you saying that the murderers of Griya are the beast-elf miners who should’ve died ‘and the elven officers who still have their anti-magic shackles on?”
Eugene swallowed hard.
Although he did not understand what Shaya meant by ‘should have died,’ he could probably guess what she meant after Gelia rushed over to ask about the prince’s condition…
The prince used some unknown method to escape and killed the guards of the mine.
The video had returned to Gelia, which was why he had come to denounce her.
And just as he teased, how could the murderer be this group of people?
” So, you see, there’s only one possibility that’s beneficial to you.
These two groups of people joined forces to kill Prince Gelia and his subordinates right in front of you…”
“It’s, it’s a barrier!
It was the Silence Barrier!
You did something to the Silencing Barrier!”
Eugene shouted, like a drowning man grabbing onto a straw.
“Alright, this is also a reason.
It’s been hard on you.
However, this involved two misunderstandings…
Come and take a look with me.”
Shaya brought Eugene upstairs to the conference hall.
He flipped over the heavy round table and revealed the hollow structure below for the guy to see.
The round tables were all made of the best Starry Sky Wood.
The latter was just like its name.
The tree was dark in color, and there were specks of starlight on it.
The leaves were mostly dark purple, and the crown of the tree covered the sky.
In the season of lush leaves, lying under the tree, one could see the dazzling galaxy when they opened their eyes.
Apart from its ornamental value, it was also an expensive magic wood.
The Starry Sky Wood that was used to make the round table came from the same tree-an ancient wood that could only be hugged by more than ten people holding hands was put down, and then the most outstanding craftsman took out the round table from it.
The most precious thing about this tree was that the naturally formed magic patterns on it allowed it to withstand Lucifer’s traps, but it was a one-time use.
” Look.
This is the culprit who killed Gelia, and the ‘savior’ that you’ve been hoping for the most.”
The mageweath on the round table glowed faintly, and the specks of light lit up Eugene’s hope.
While he was pleasantly surprised, he also wondered why the other party brought him to see this thing…
However, he did not dare to ask.
He could only maintain this conflicted state of mind as he stared at the glowing mo matrix in a daze.
Soon, his hope dimmed along with these mo matrixes.

The round table quickly returned to normal, looking like an ordinary precious wood.
“W-why?
Why is it like this?”
Eugene struggled free from Shaya’s hand and crawled to the round table on all fours.
She reached in and fumbled around, as if she was trying to catch the fading light.
“This is what I meant by ‘mistake’.
This thing is disposable.”
Shaya squatted beside him and knocked on the table.
tuk tuk
“Did you hear that?
It’s made of solid wood.
It’s super expensive.
It was like this before its magic power was exhausted, and it was still like this after it was exhausted.
So who could prove that it really had magic power?
Who would believe you?”
“Stop it, stop it…Shut up!”
Eugene grabbed her hair in pain and gritted her teeth.”
” Lady Priscilla trusts me very much.
As long as you dare to let me out alive, I can explain this matter…You’ll regret telling me this!”
“I understand, I understand…You must have realized that I won’t kill you at all, right?
You want to provoke me and then let me leave some injuries on your body as evidence, right?”
Shaya giggled.” Don’t worry.
You guessed it right.
Not only will I not attack you, but I will also cure you and let you leave alive and kicking…” Oh right, you don’t think that knowing this will explain Gelia’s death, do you?
Then may I ask, why did the scroll he tore at the critical moment not only fail to escape, but also kill me and the other mages?
“After all, the Silence Barrier can’t silence a scroll that has been written in advance and stored with magic power…Moreover, there are some things that I know a little about…”
Shaya suddenly leaned closer to him and lowered her voice.
” Your Excellency is secretly researching the crossbreeding of the Soul Flayers and the Starry Sky Hunters known as the Mage’s nemesis, in an attempt to develop a terrifying creature that specializes in ‘silent assassination’ of mages…How do you think Prisilia would feel if a large number of Advanced Mages died at such a critical moment, and their mana was drained?”
Eugene was shocked.
He struggled to get away from Shaya.
His eyes were filled with fear, as if he had seen a demon.
“You…
Who exactly are you?
Why are you framing me?!”
“Is it really a false accusation?
Sir Eugene, there are some things we both know.
I deliberately chose to discuss this matter with you in this environment.
Isn’t that enough to show my sincerity?
Do you really want me to reveal the location of your Soul Flayers?”
There was no one around, and their voices could not reach the ground.
Eugene also knew that the Eternal Night Tower was the Queen’s temporary residence, so it was impossible for them to set up surveillance devices.
He remained silent, hoping that the other party was just bluffing him.
However-
” In the underground of the Monpheus Monastery in the north of Blue Moon County, if nothing goes wrong, the bones of at least fifteen mages can be dug out.
Then, if those monsters are not there, they will be moved to your own mansion and guarded by the Starry Sky Hunters.
Is that right?”
“No, no, no.
You’re a devil, you’re definitely a devil, you’re a devil from the Abyss…”
Eugene finally gave up struggling.
“You…
What exactly do you want me to do…”
“Isn’t it right to do this earlier…I’ll pass.
This is a ‘deal,’ Your Excellency Eugene.”
Shaya smiled and stood up.
It was not an easy task to make this stubborn beast tamer compromise.
In fact, he was not a direct descendant of Priscilla.
He was simply the illegitimate child of this lady.
But don’t think that his identity is noble because of this…
The person who wanted to kill him the most in the world was probably Prisilia.
However, Eugene was smart enough to sign a symbiotic contract with each of the top Nightmares he had tamed.
The death of any one of them would damage his vitality, and once he died, these Nightmares would all die, so they were still useful.
Shaya had said so much before, but this guy was not afraid at all.
It was just that he did not hit his vitals.
He knew that these chips alone were not enough to kill him.
However, feeding the Spirit Flayers was a different story.
Summoning and rearing this monster from the abyss meant that he was standing on the opposite side of Order.
At that time, no one could protect him.
Even someone with a noble background like Evelyn would become a wild boss after falling into the abyss.
This was the system’s guidance, the tone of the entire game, and it was more indomitable than the wheel of the times.
Not to mention an ordinary NPC like Eugene.
To make an analogy, it was probably like how the Nazians, who were forced into a desperate situation by the allied forces during World War II, might not dare to join the aliens who aimed to annihilate all mankind.
“Our deal is actually very simple.”
Shaya smiled and whispered something into Eugene’s ear.
..
..
Shaya didn’t go back on his word.
He took out a pile of potions from his backpack as if he was performing a magic trick and asked Eugene to leave the Eternal Night Tower with his lively subordinates.
Taking care of Eugene was equivalent to taking care of his subordinates.
In any case, that group of people did not get along with this beast tamer.
As for a beast tamer from the Sprett family, who had mastered the Snake Controlling Technique and the crossbreeding of Gu worms…
No one would dare to betray such a person easily.
Otherwise, they would not even know how they died.
Eugene had just left with his men when Farkas arrived at the Eternal Night Tower with Jobu.
The two of them happened to meet face to face.
Eugene looked at Prince Qiao as if he had seen a ghost, because he wasn’t sure if this was real…
When the two of them passed by each other, the latter seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said in a low voice,
“Stop looking, it’s me.”
Eugene was shocked again, and the little thoughts that had risen up after escaping disappeared in an instant.
He could feel that everything about him was firmly controlled by someone.
All he could do was follow orders like a magic puppet.
“Sir Eugene.”
Fakas ‘men sent the prince in while he stood at the door.
Eugene turned around reluctantly.
“What’s wrong?”
” It’s like this.
Before I left the city, Master Gelia said that he would personally come to the Eternal Night Tower to check on the situation…Are you guys together?
Where is he?”
“Oh, Gelia, he…He went back first.
Do you have anything to say?”
“In that case, I think it’s the same to ask you.”
Farkas walked over and took out a small box that contained a piece of soil stained with blood.
” Master Gelia said that the mine was attacked a day ago, and almost all the Beastspirit miners died.
However, I didn’t find any corpses when I went there, only some blood…” Fakas handed this thing to Eugene.” So I want to borrow a few hounds from you to track down the whereabouts of these beast elves.”
Eugene took the box and smelled it.
“Alright, I’ll arrange it soon.”
“I praise your generosity.
Then, I’ll leave first.”
Farkas left with his soldiers.
After watching the Palm Tribe members leave, Eugene took out the box and threw it into the garden without looking at it.
This was definitely beast blood.
In other words, the scene of the miners being killed and the prince escaping from prison that Gelia saw was all fake.
The orc elves were not dead at all, and the prince was only pretending to escape.
This guy actually believed it, which was why he was in such a hurry to bring his men to slap his face…
This idiot didn’t die in vain.
However, there were some things that he could not figure out…
For example, why did Prisilia deliberately let the prince go, and why did the prince deliberately get caught after he ran away…
And most importantly, who was that terrifying fellow?
Eugene shook her head hard and threw away all these messy things.
The only thing left in her mind was Shaya’s arrangements.
