Free Web NovelChapter 1419: Chapter 45: Sanctuary of the Spirit Realm (Part 3)
"The slimes under my command have infiltrated many forces, the Sardinia Female Country, the Turand Family... They used to be able to enter Nali, but not in recent years. Several of my clan members within Nali have died unnatural deaths, of course, externally they still left this world under their old disguised identities. Overdose, sudden death from sexual exertion, cardiac arrest... And the battlefield of the South Continent is even more dangerous, my clan members have directly disappeared without a trace, and should already be deceased."
Baline cracked his knuckles and proceeded to explain the situation of the South Continent to Valentina.
"Since Nali formed the Human Alliance and puppet regime of the Green Dragon Court to attack the Red Dragon Court, I’ve stationed clan members among different forces. But those in the Green Dragon Court and the Nali Army disappeared the quickest, and those within the Red Dragon Court perished during the war, which I’m certain of. So most likely, there is something within Nali that can discover the items my clan hide, or rather... living presences, causing us to currently know nothing about the South Continent and Nali’s situation."
"Is it possible... that’s the reason you just mentioned about the Cardinal, which is how the slimes’ disguises are being discovered?"
Valentina rubbed her chin, harboring such suspicion.
"Possible, but we’re not yet sure. We have the Turand Family’s Cardinal, but according to intelligence, their Cardinal and the one from Nali seem to be two different things. Nali’s Cardinal comes from the Storm Sea, which is also where the Sardinian Female Country Captain is from. Fortunately, they brought us some valuable Cardinal samples, and, moreover, there’s Elizabeth’s younger sister in their team, who perhaps is an extremely important card for us..."
"Most critically, we need to decipher Nali’s Cardinal mystery. We cannot solely focus on the Turand Family we’re facing now. I have a hunch that Nali will become quite terrifying in the future. Within the things the Sardinian Female Country Captain brought, there’s certainly something extremely valuable to me..."
Valentina pondered for a moment, her thoughts absorbed in Baline’s words, but at least she had a preliminary understanding of the current situation.
She also gradually realized what kind of difficulty she was facing now.
The terrifying chaotic invasion, Fisher’s disappearance, Nali’s mysterious rise, the war in the South Continent...
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then, when she opened her eyes again, only determination remained in them.
"I understand..."
Valentina said softly, then slowly reached out her hand, grasping the handle of the Phoenix King Sword, which quietly watched her from the throne. The moment her fingers touched it, a profound sensation instantly collided with her soul through her skin, causing the azure fuzz on her body to begin to shimmer.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The sword’s cheerful hum reminded Valentina that the sword had been effortlessly mastered by her.
She is the last pure blood phoenix, and just a phoenix.
"By the way, Miss Valentina, there is one thing I’m not sure whether it should be said..."
Just as Valentina picked up the Phoenix King Sword to examine it, the Slime Tribe Chief Baline suddenly spoke up behind her.
"What is it?"
Valentina turned her head, looking at Baline, who seemed hesitant while holding a pacifier, yet heard him continue.
"Although in recent years my clan members in the South Continent have mysteriously disappeared, it’s not entirely without ears and information. Just recently, I suddenly received some... well, not quite certain news. It’s about... Mr. Fisher."
"News about... Fisher? What news?"
Valentina was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly pursued the question, wanting an answer, even the flower bud of peach quietly sprouted from the back of her head, seemingly having some interest in this news.
Baline hesitated for a moment, then took out the pacifier from his mouth, and replied to Valentina.
"Miss Valentina, I wonder if you’ve heard of, a merchant from the Naribai Family called... Keken?" freёwebnovel.com
"Keken? I’ve... never heard of him."
"Hmm... he’s a graduate of the Nali Royal Academy, kind of like a schoolmate and junior of Mr. Fisher. Coincidentally, he had business experience in the South Continent long ago. Coincidentally, he escaped the Northern Expedition of the Dragon Queen and returned to Saint Nali; and coincidentally, recently he’s openly doing business in the Green Dragon Court, of course, there are some... dealings with us.
"He said he found a trace of someone, suspected to be Mr. Fisher, right in the Green Dragon Court of the South Continent."

Inside Alagina’s room, the door was currently closed, and Alagina was checking the equipment and items on hand while asking the small floating sphere beside her.
"Little David, are you... sure that if something goes wrong after I go over, you can instantly teleport me back?"
"Of course I can, noble Holy Descendant."
"I’m not... a Holy Descendant."
"Oh, no worries, this is just the default title word my creator set for me. You can change it anytime, or use other default title words, such as paranoid demi-human girl control, little darling, and dear..."
