53: Mysterious organization

After the Crimson Gold Sub-Dragon Boa's introduction, Su Feng finally understood how powerful this Magic Formation was.

It not only required the use of ancient runes but also demanded immense financial resources.

His current several hundred million dragon coins were merely a drop in the ocean compared to the expenses... "How extravagant!"

"How great would it be if I had all that money? Why use it to erase these people's memories..."

"It seems I need to be even more careful in the future and definitely not lose my life."

"However, if that's the case, the higher-ups of Dragon Country shouldn't be without protection either!"

...Luo Yi looked exhausted. The moment the notification arrived, he had already received his orders.

Dragon Country actually demanded that he immediately mobilize the deployed Dark Guards within Shuojiang Province to erase the memories of all students here.

He had never seen such a situation in over two hundred years!

This was enough to show the importance the Dragon Country's higher-ups placed on Su Feng... "To go all out to protect one person, it seems the higher-ups have placed their hopes in this young fellow."

"After all, Dragon Country is becoming increasingly difficult. If no one stands up, even this momentary peace will be lost..."

...Somewhere in Dragon Country.

"Rat, why have you suddenly summoned all of us? Has Dragon Country met with a cataclysm?!"

This space was filled with Magic Formations, densely covered with obscure runes that constantly shifted and flowed, appearing dazzling and eerie.

At the very center of the rotating Magic Formations were twelve shadowy figures.

All of them wore cloaks, completely obscuring their faces underneath.

Below each of the twelve shadowy figures corresponded one of twelve animals. Upon closer inspection, one would realize they were the familiar Chinese Zodiac animals.

The voice of the one named Rat was somewhat hoarse, then he said with a weathered tone: "Today, a genius who reached 9999 meters on the Road of Conquest was discovered in Shuojiang Province, so I specifically notified you all to come and discuss..."

"I have already issued an initial order to block the memories of all teachers and students below Fifth Turn professionals who participated in Shuojiang Province today regarding this part!"

Rat's voice made everyone else stunned, knowing that... the cost involved was immeasurable.

That was tens of thousands of people!

"Rat, wasn't this a bit hasty?!"

"We don't know how he reached 9999 meters, and we haven't tested him, nor do we know his abilities. Under completely unknown circumstances, we've used such vast resources..."

"You must understand, those resources buried beneath were originally for dealing with emergencies in Dragon Country!"

Snake's voice was somewhat high-pitched, but it didn't sound abrupt, like a constantly echoing Qiang flute.

"I agree with Snake's point. If one awakens the talent for spatial traversal early, then achieving this feat is not difficult."

Horse chimed in.

Rat's cloak nodded slightly up and down, then his aged, benevolent voice sounded again.

"Everyone, I understand your concerns, but even spatial traversal talent cannot be awakened below the Fifth Turn!"

"What's more, this little fellow has only just undergone his class change for seven days..."

"And one more thing, his awakened profession is Mage. Do you think an ordinary Mage without extraordinary qualities could achieve such a feat?!"

Silence.

Everyone present naturally understood some of the reasoning behind this.

However, sacrificing the future of an entire province to escort a novice, was it really worth it?!

"Rat's approach is not without reason. Shuojiang Province is relatively small, and we can redeploy everything within a few years."

"Moreover, we have already sent people into the abyss to investigate, and they will report back as soon as there is any news."

"At this time, we need to take risks. We cannot sit idly by; the barrier of Blue Star is about to be breached..."

Horse's voice was full of vigor, but there was also some worry in it.

"If he truly is a genius, and he gets stifled in the cradle, we will suffer an irreplaceable loss."

"How about this... do any of you have a suitable candidate, someone good at stealth to go and protect him..."

Tiger looked at everyone, seemingly waiting for their reply.

"I do have a Seventh Turn girl here, and she's a rare Shadow Assassin, extremely skilled in stealth..."

"How about sending her?"

Rabbit's clear voice echoed in the confined space, sounding very pleasant.

"Then it's settled!"

"Seventh Turn should be sufficient. If she encounters trouble she can't resolve, she should notify us immediately."

Rat made the final decision, and the others had no objections.

After a brief discussion, everyone dispersed again... "Why is it over?!"

Su Feng was somewhat puzzled.

According to previous years, this should have at least six rounds of assessment!

How did they declare him first after only reaching the fourth round, and then dismiss everyone else?!

"This... what force in Dragon Country can achieve such a degree?!"

"To mobilize so many resources in such a short time, and with such a grand scale, it's simply astonishing!"

Su Feng sighed with emotion, never expecting his path to fame to be cut short like this.

Those people's expressions seemed very normal, completely devoid of the previous shock and surprise... "Master, there are many top experts in Dragon Country. I was caught by an annoying old fellow before."

"He told me to guard this place and let me leave after I transformed into a dragon, but I never expected you to be the one to bring me out..."

The Crimson Gold Sub-Dragon Boa felt somewhat incredible. He had never imagined that Su Feng could reverse the immense magic power within his body and then sign a contract with him.

"It seems I still have a long way to go!"

Su Feng now felt that he knew very little about everything within Dragon Country, most of it learned from books.

And those books were only updated once every few years.

The content in the books mainly focused on improving their combat power or life skills, never mentioning such secrets.

Like this enormous Magic Formation underground.

And the Crimson Gold Sub-Dragon Boa actually knew something about it.

"Baras, when you first arrived here, was this Magic Formation present?"

"Master, that brings back some unpleasant memories!"

"Speak!"

"This was the formation that many human experts used to defeat me. I just didn't expect them to modify it later; now it seems quite effective..."

Su Feng nodded slightly. It seemed he could only uncover these secrets once his strength grew... And as Su Feng was teleported back to Tianhai City, a slender figure stood in the distance, slowly gazing.

"Is this the person Master wants me to protect?!"

...
