“My current strength is not sufficient…I would want to wait a little while before being put to the test,”

Su Lu contemplated and responded.

He was powerful, but he wouldn’t assist the Shadow Council in committing murder and arson.

“That’s alright…we won’t force new members.”

To his surprise, the ‘Chairman’ readily agreed, “Your authority, though…will be limited to that of a new member. Is that okay?”

“No problem!”

Su Lu nodded.

“Then…onto the next topic. ‘Lore Festival’ is just around the corner, and with the Federation’s movements, there will be many outsiders…I hope everyone can remain restrained and rational …”

The ‘Chairman’ swept his gaze around, his eyes cold and imposing, exuding a chilling pressure.

‘As I thought, this chairman of the Shadow Council is a fourth-order professional…Lore Festival? It’s a festival commemorating the establishment of Lore city…held in winter with grand parades and ceremonies. Hm? It seems Owen’s birthday also falls on the same day. I even received an invitation…’

Su Lu listened indifferently.

Soon, it was time for a free discussion period.

“Scholar…I have some news about the information you asked me to pry into last time!”

The sweet scent of wind followed, ‘Saintess’s’ voice approached.

“Oh?”

Su Lu’s eyes lit up.

He had listed out some transcendent creatures he needed information on, which could be commonly found on the West Coast, and entrusted the ‘Saintess’ to seek out clues; these would supplement his own research.

Unexpectedly, there were quick results.

“I will pay for the information.”

“Very well…’Pouch-mouthed Bird’, ‘Pocket Mouse’, ‘Swift Falcon’ and other magical creatures you described did not appear; at least, not around Lore City. The only one that matches your conditions…….is the Chikutal!”

This was a horse-like transcendent beast that had a violent temperament, quite bloodthirsty and very fast.

“Where is it?”

Su Lu recalled information about the Chikutal and asked.

“This one I can provide for free, as long as you tell me…are you proficient in creating marvelous items?”

‘Saintess’ had gotten closer.

“No…it’s just a need for the ritual, I’ll pay.”

Su Lu’s face turned serious, immediately denying.

Lower-order transcendent, if they are proficient in crafting marvelous items or mysterious potions, unless they do it as a side job, would inevitably have lower fighting capabilities. They would easily become a ‘fat sheep’ in the eyes of some large forces!

‘Perhaps because of such speculation… that’s how I easily joined this circle?’

A thought rose in Su Lu’s mind, ‘Like testing…are they planning to control me when they think the time is right?’

“Well, well…what a dull little fellow.”

‘Saintess’ flirtatiously drew a fragrant note from her body, “My men saw traces of it in this area yesterday, but I can’t guarantee it won’t leave…”

“Thank you.”

Su Lu paid the Gold Dragon and carefully stored the address. During the rest of the party, he remained silent until the very end.

One by one, the shadows stood up and left, soon, only a few remained in the Shadow Hall.

They were all formal members of the Shadow Council, possessing fearful energy in Lore City. The ‘Saintess’ was one of them.

“I believe…the ‘Scholar’ is a craftsman or a magic pharmacist. Judging from the intelligence material he collects and his previously demonstrated abilities, spell and ritual abilities are nothing but his disguise…Although he is on guard, I am confident that we can get him to join us…”

‘Saintess’ said languidly.

“You can try…but not anytime soon!” the ‘Chairman’s’ voice became indifferent, “Let me remind you one more time, the upcoming days are important, before the ‘Lore Festival’, all of you behave.”

“No problem.”

The formal members responded one after another.

Although they didn’t know what the ‘Chairman’ was plotting, whatever it was, it was obviously very important. The former’s ruthlessness and rigorous methods had long conquered them.

The next day, early morning.

Su Lu had Margaret prepare some things; he was going to take her and Hallock to the outskirts to try hunting the ‘Chikutal’!

“Hunting?”

Margaret looked at Su Lu, “Autumn has already passed…”

Autumn was the hunting season; winter animals’ fur usually lacks lustre and gloss as they had to starve during the winter.

“It’s not a common animal!”

Su Lu reminded with a smile.

“Alright…” Margaret murmured, she then went back to pack quickly.

It was clear that the young girl was excited.

After spending some time with her, Su Lu knew that she was just a normal girl who yearned for the mysterious world, and somehow ended up having relations with the Ancient Snake Society.

Perhaps…when Old Mad was copying all sorts of material haphazardly, he accidentally copied some secret data of the Ancient Snake Society?

Were they written in the cipher, just like the symbols in the copied text?

Su Lu pushed down these thoughts and started recalling information about ‘Chikutal’. The name was in Ancient Hebrew, translated as ‘blood and wind’s fierce horse’.

It was a type of magical creature resembling a horse, which had sharp teeth and loved to eat fresh flesh.

Moreover, it possessed certain flesh-based magic abilities and controlled the power of wind. An adult ‘Chikutal’ was at least equivalent to the strength of a second-order professional, quite difficult to deal with.

‘But who said that hunting must be done head-on?’

A smile appeared on Su Lu’s face.

Boom boom!

At that moment, the apartment door was abruptly knocked upon.

“Not ringing the bell first, it shows urgency, an acute need?”

Su Lu went to open the door; Owen rushed in like a storm, “It’s terrible… It’s just too terrible…”

His face was worse than before, his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, as if he hadn’t slept for days.

“What’s the matter? Calm down!”

Su Lu had to use the Language of Arrogance to calm the agitated man and have him sit down and gradually calm down.

“Indeed… you have the power of the mysterious, you must save me!”

Owen grabbed Su Lu’s arm, using great force.

“What exactly happened? Another nightmare?”

Su Lu subtly freed himself and glanced at Margaret, who was standing by the side.

“Yes…but not only that!”

Owen had Jindum walk outside and spoke urgently, “That well…it appeared in my villa! Just this morning, as if it suddenly appeared.”

“Hmm?”

Su Lu leaned forward in surprise, he never expected that, “Then what happened?”

“What else?”

Owen grabbed his own head, “I understand…my nightmares, they’re a sign, a curse! I will be dressed in finery one day in the future, falling into the ancient well and dying there! No… I’m not even married yet, I don’t want to die!”

“A sudden ancient well? A curse?”

Su Lu’s lips thinned, sensing that it’s likely a supernatural case, and the other party’s ability to affect reality was strong.

Some of this exceeded the range of his ‘Sean’ persona’s handling capability.
