But it was not completely without results. After the explosion, energy was actually extracted, and its color and luster were like the most beautiful gem in the world, one in a million.

This orange-red gem is called the Philosopher's Stone. The energy of one gem is enough for a wizard to use three forbidden spells in a row, so it is extremely rare.

Unfortunately, after that, the Dragon Vein Snow Mountain became even colder, and even the powerful fire mages could not stand it, so mining operations had to be stopped on the periphery.

As for the two extremely rare magic stones, one is on the crown of the Emperor of the Nosha Empire, and the other is on the neck of the most favored Ninth Prince.

That’s right, Kawamoto Satoshi and others were the ones who studied the Philosopher’s Stone seven years ago. His father risked his life to find the Philosopher’s Stone from the mountains, and he also became this half-human, half-ghost appearance during the research process.

If they all died, outsiders would just think it was a sad experimental accident. But more than forty people survived and ended up like this.

They were all the best in the Imperial Academy. If this matter were to get out, the people in the academy would certainly feel chilled and terrified. As a result, the emperor actually ordered them to be killed.

Forced into a corner, Kawamoto Tomo and his companions had to flee to the Longmai Snow Mountain, hoping to escape the pursuers behind them.

The depths of the Dragon Vessel Snow Mountain are extremely dangerous. Once you step in, there is no possibility of leaving alive. They did get rid of the pursuers. After all, those pursuers also believed that they were doomed to die and did not chase them anymore.

But just when they were about to freeze to death, a miracle happened. Two messengers of God appeared and saved their lives.

One hundred students took part in the experiment, forty-seven escaped, and in the end only twelve survived.

These twelve people all hate the Nosha Empire to the core and would never defect. They are also the core strength of Yinghai.

Kawamoto Satoshi and others have all received advanced training at the Imperial Academy, otherwise they would not have been chosen as subjects for the experiment. Now it is easy for them to teach a few children.

What's more, after the explosion, there was residual energy of the Philosopher's Stone in their bodies, which was even more powerful than before.

"In any case, we have to put our plan on hold for now, and ask for instructions from the Lord of God."

Rather than believing that the fifth-level ancient curse master was one of their own, Kawamoto Tomo was more afraid that the Empire would find out that they were not dead and would want to wipe them out completely.

“No need to panic.”

At this moment, a childish voice sounded, interrupting everyone's hesitation. Kawamoto Tomo's face changed, suddenly becoming solemn and serious. He turned around hurriedly, lowered his head, and saluted respectfully to the visitor.

"Your Highness the Goddess."

If there were other people around, they would certainly be surprised to see that the person in front of them who was called the goddess was just a little girl who looked only five or six years old. She was dressed in a white robe woven with delicate silk. Her expression was as cold as the moonlight or the clear spring under the first snow. Her long white hair was particularly eye-catching.

Normally, if a child of this age made such an expression, adults would just think it was funny, but the eyes of the goddess in front of him seemed to be filled with compassion for all living beings, authoritative and holy, which made people couldn't help but respect her.

"Your Highness, the Goddess, why are you here? It's very dangerous here. If you reveal your whereabouts, you will definitely be noticed by the executioner of the Nosha Empire."

Kawamoto Tomo spoke anxiously, and the others echoed him one after another. They were extremely respectful to the child in front of them and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

But what they saw was not fearful submission caused by the intimidation of authority or power, but rather genuine following and loyalty.

"Nothing, don't worry about me. I know what you are discussing, but the ancient spellcaster who appeared last night was definitely not from Shadow Corpse."

The goddess paused, and a few ripples appeared in her calm eyes.

"But it's strange. He's not from the Empire. I've never seen him before."

As the words fell, the goddess waved her hand, and the clear light flickered. A picture appeared in front of them, which was the old and frail appearance of Shen Yuzhi.

Nowadays, all the fifth-level strongmen who can use forbidden spells on the continent are well-known figures. The person in front of him is indeed very unfamiliar, but what is even more strange is the way he looked when he used the forbidden spell. His posture was not standard at all, as if he was exposed to magic for the first time.

But he is even less likely to be a novice. After all, such a powerful forbidden spell cannot be used by a novice.

What's more, the goddess clearly saw Shen Yuzhi interrupt the forbidden spell when it was about to take shape. Otherwise, more than just a mountain would have been razed to the ground last night.

Very strong, the goddess has to be wary.

"But we don't know his purpose yet, so we don't need to label him as an enemy. If we can win him over, Ying Hai will have another powerful helper."

Kawamoto Satoshi and others nodded in agreement.

The goddess looked out the window. The noise outside was getting more and more chaotic. The searching soldiers would probably find this place.

"shift."

With just one word, the goddess disappeared with everyone in the house, as if they had never appeared.

-

Elsewhere, Shen Yuzhi also met an uninvited guest.

In the dim alley, a man whose face could not be seen appeared unnoticed.

Being able to find where Shen Yuzhi is hiding takes some skill.

"The ancient spellcaster last night was you."

One sentence revealed Shen Yuzhi's identity. He turned around and saw the man standing at the deepest part of the alley. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his tall figure gave a sense of oppression. The voice seemed to be mixed in the wind and reached Shen Yuzhi's ears.

The cloak swayed slightly, as if the feet left the ground and the whole person was floating in the air.

Seeing that Shen Yuzhi didn't reply, the man didn't get angry, but just chuckled.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to report you. I just want to talk to you about cooperation. If you——"

The voice stopped abruptly for no other reason than that Shen Yuzhi appeared in front of the man at some point, took off his cloak with his hands, the white beard on his face shook, and a curious voice came.

"Are you the leader of Shadow Corps?"

Mysterious Man: ...

Can you please have some manners? Don't you know that you shouldn't lift other people's cloaks when you go out?

But surprisingly, there was not a tall adult man under the cloak, but a very young-looking boy. His short silver hair made his fair face look even more delicate. His dark eyes were like black jade and his appearance was stunning. He was less divine than the goddess, but more arrogant and calculating.

Two messengers of God, the child in front of you is the Son of God.

Now that he was exposed, the Son of God simply stopped disguising himself, threw his cloak aside, and returned to his original childish voice.

"Whether I am the leader of Shadow Corps is none of your business."

The Son of God originally wanted to tease Shen Yu a little. After all, it was rare to see someone so young who could ask such a question.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yu was stunned and said, "Then I have nothing to talk about with you," and immediately turned and left.

Son of God:?

No, what kind of people are these!
