Boom!
The deafening sound reverberated far into the silent night.
Su Nan watched calmly as the dust billowed up hundreds of meters away, stroking his cat while patiently waiting.
Soon, the direction of the manor was filled with deafening shouts and screams.
Just by the sound, Su Nan could imagine the Starfire Sect members rushing to the gate, only to find it empty and then being caught off guard by invisible bloody attacks, their fear and bewilderment palpable.
Unless a Great Knight-level Cultist or a higher-ranking officer intervened, ordinary Starfire Sect members were merely lambs to the slaughter against the Stealthy Dragon.
They wouldn’t know where the attack came from until death arrived.
The slaughter lasted for about four or five minutes. Then, the invisible Stealthy Dragon rushed out of the manor and ran towards the distance.
Behind it, three figures were in hot pursuit.
“A High-Rank Great Knight… It’s probably the Priest in charge of managing this outpost.”
“The other two are also Great Knights, they should be Cultists.”
The Starfire Sect outpost in Stone Bell City was managed by one Priest and eight Cultists.
Two of the Cultists died in Black Stone City.
Two Cultists died in last night’s battle.
In other words, there could be at most two Cultists left in the manor.
“Meow, will Little Hidden be alright?” Amy asked worriedly.
It was unclear when she gave the Stealthy Dragon that name.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” Su Nan reassured her.
The Stealthy Dragon’s ability to shift between reality and illusion was particularly advantageous in the complex terrain of a town. If it was determined to escape, even a High-Rank Great Knight wouldn’t be able to catch it. It could only be led around in circles, running further and further away. 𝐑á
After waiting patiently for a while, Su Nan estimated that the three pursuers had run a significant distance away before he appeared and headed towards the manor.
He wasn’t good at sneaking around.
After all, he didn’t have suitable spells or magical items.
But he didn’t need to sneak around either.
The remaining defensive forces in the manor were no threat to him at this point.
His priority was to quickly deal with anyone in his way and then find his target.
In the littered courtyard, a group of Starfire Sect members were busy tending to the wounded. They were stunned when they saw a man and a cat walk in confidently.
One of them immediately realized something was wrong and raised his weapon, shouting, “Who are you…”
Crackle!
Before he could finish his sentence, a bolt of lightning turned him into charcoal!
Then more lightning and flames erupted violently, engulfing the entire courtyard!
There weren’t even any Great Knights among the Starfire Sect members present. Su Nan easily controlled the energy particles, eliminating all of them without any difficulty.
“Where is the thing you’re looking for?”
Su Nan looked at Amy, who was perched on his shoulder.
The little cat raised its head, tilted its head to sense for a moment, and pointed to the left, saying, “Over there! The energy particle concentration is very high there!”
Without hesitation, Su Nan rushed towards the left.
Along the way, Starfire Sect members who heard the commotion kept jumping out to block him, but he casually killed them all, unable even to slow him down.
The manor was not large. Within four or five minutes, Su Nan arrived at the place where Amy said the energy particles were concentrated.
A tightly shut iron door came into view.
He splashed a bit of acid on the iron door, corroding a large hole. Su Nan bent down, went through the hole, and descended the stairs.
A spacious basement appeared before him.
Night pearls embedded in the surrounding ceiling emitted a soft white light, illuminating the entire basement as if it were daytime.
Many wooden shelves were placed around the room, with various items on them.
Most were books, about thirty or forty in total.
There were also some rings, necklaces, bracelets, and a fair number of cloaks, swords, and so on.
Su Nan’s eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards the shelves where the books were, his gaze sweeping across the books.
“Magic Philosophy,” “Interdimensional Biology,” “Burning Hand,” “Magic Alarm,” “Magic Missile,” “Weakening Ray,” “Basic Magic Item Crafting,” “Comprehensive Low-Level Magic Item Guide,” “Design and Manufacturing of Mana Crystal Forging Furnace,” “Magic Emblem Core…”
Su Nan was overjoyed by the dazzling array of books.
Among these books, there were seven or eight First-Ring Spell model books, and even one Second-Ring Spell model book.
Among the remaining books, many were very practical knowledge.
For example, “Basic Magic Item Crafting” could accelerate his learning of the Magic Item Crafting skill.
“Comprehensive Low-Level Magic Item Guide” could provide him with designs for creating magic items in the future.
“Design and Manufacturing of Mana Crystal Forging Furnace,” as the name suggests, was the manufacturing diagram for the Mana Crystal Forging Furnace.
The furnace in Su Nan’s laboratory now was just a basic furnace. If he could create a Mana Crystal Forging Furnace, the cost of refining Blackrock Beasts would undoubtedly be reduced significantly, and he would also have the foundation for refining higher-level puppets.
“But I’ve never heard of a Magic Emblem Core. Is it a magic item?”
Su Nan shook his head. Now was not the time to research it. His priority was to take these things away.
Without hesitation, he stored everything in his Magic Cube.
After some thought, he also removed the night pearls from the ceiling and stored them away before turning to Amy.
“Are all your master’s things here?”
Amy nodded vigorously, “They’re all here.”
“Good. Then let’s go find the Divine Blood Crystal.”
“No problem, meow. The Divine Blood Crystal is over there.” Amy pointed to the right.
Su Nan’s steps towards the exit paused. He looked at Amy in surprise.
“You can sense the Divine Blood Crystal’s location?”
“Meow, I’ve already recorded the Divine Blood Crystal’s energy fluctuations. I won’t be wrong.”
Amy tilted her head, looking puzzled as if it was obvious.
Su Nan was speechless.
He had originally thought that Amy could only sense the high or low concentration of energy particles, but he didn’t realize that this little cat could actually sense more fundamental energy fluctuations!
The difference between the two was like a gulf.
The former could be achieved by Wizards (Apprentices) with sufficiently high spiritual power or by mastering spells such as Detection Magic, but the sensing distance might not be as far.
The latter, however, could be considered a treasure-finding detector.
As long as the energy fluctuations were recorded, you could find similar (or almost similar) high-energy items.
It was incredibly useful when searching for treasures!
Su Nan’s eyes towards Amy suddenly changed. It was as if he was looking at a treasure.
He had already had the idea of taking Amy back to Black Stone City. Now he was even more determined.
If he had Amy, it would undoubtedly make things much easier for him in the future, whether it was searching for magical items or exploring Wizard legacies.
Amy didn’t know that someone was already eyeing her. She was very happy to have successfully retrieved her master’s things. Now she was excitedly urging Su Nan to find the Divine Blood Crystal.
Composing himself, Su Nan left the basement and bent down, going through the hole.
Just as his body went through the hole, two shining long swords, one from each side, attacked, aiming directly at his neck and chest.
