(5500, second update)_2 “Indeed!”

Adalbert showed deep agreement, then he realized something after the fact and exclaimed, “Wait, that tone…

Ghost Valley Knight, are you also a researcher?!”

Ian, with a hint of amusement curling the corners of his mouth, turned to glance at the black-haired knight.

“Yes.

And I even have a pretty big laboratory in the Imperial Capital…

hm, speaking of which, are you willing to come with me?”

“Although Duke of Solin said he fired you, it’s actually because he hoped I’d find a place for you to settle down.”

“I…”

Adalbert was lost for a moment, having thought he would either die at the hands of Viscount Awak or be executed by the Duke of Solin — he had prepared himself to die in this place when he chose to become the Deceased Monarch and never imagined he could survive.

Moreover, from the start, Duke of Solin hadn’t wanted to punish him.

He naturally wanted to accept the invitation of the Ghost Valley Knight, but Adalbert was a little worried.

Worried that his identity as the Deceased Monarch might bring trouble to the Ghost Valley Knight.

—Even though he was naive about the world, he knew that the First Knight was currently in exile, and that his disciple would definitely have to hide his identity.

But that was long ago.

Nowadays, few people remember the warrant for the First Knight’s arrest, but if it were revealed that he had a disciple, undoubtedly, a swarm of flies would gather.

And himself…

he had become the most eye-catching Deceased Monarch recently.

His presence would only make the Ghost Valley Knight’s current relatively safe situation even more dangerous, wouldn’t it?

“Don’t worry too much.”

Ian, aware of Adalbert’s concerns about affecting himself, felt amused by this and could not help but think how rare good people were in this world.

People like Adalbert were indeed a rarity.

“If you really intend to join — I mean, join my team, then I might tell you my real identity…

I can also offer you sanctuary in my territory.”

After some thought, Ian decided that to truly get him to join, he needed to share some real information: “I’ll soon become a Lord, and I have a team outside…

hmm, if you’re willing to disguise yourself, I can arrange for the Huai Guang Rescue Team to take you out.”

“Trust me…

even if you don’t trust my morality, you have to trust that your technical skills are valuable and worth taking a risk for.”

“…

Then I’m in your hands,”

Adalbert, after being silent for a while, gratefully addressed Ian.

If he had a choice, he naturally didn’t want to die or be wanted.

It has to be said that before the battle with Viscount Awak, something Ian said genuinely touched his heart.

That was the word ‘mother.’

He’d made the heated decision to become the Deceased Monarch, and naturally, he didn’t regret that choice…

but now that everything was over, he definitely hoped to provide a better life for his mother.

Besides, Ian’s true identity was also a great curiosity to him — who exactly was the Ghost Valley Knight that he could become a lord within the Empire?

Moreover, he actually had a very large laboratory in the Imperial Capital?

My god, the disciple of the First Knight, the Empire’s biggest fugitive…

actually had a large laboratory in the Imperial Capital?!

— The most dangerous place is the safest, the old saying is true!

Adalbert’s curiosity was nearly overflowing, and if it weren’t for the current circumstances not being conducive to asking about these things, he would have certainly questioned Ian for details.

But as things stood…

It was indeed time to leave.

Ian stood up and led the way, with Adalbert following behind him.

Together, they headed toward the Subspace Labyrinth Choice Entrance that was teetering on the brink of collapse, preparing to leave this land soaked with hatred and wailing, blood and despair.

Though Adalbert was the master of Subspace, Ian seemed as familiar with the exits as if he were the true owner.

After all, the Silver Chip had already recorded a map, and Foresight View could discern the path ahead — it wasn’t that much of an exaggeration.

“Oh, right.”

Halfway there, Ian suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Adalbert, who had been somewhat silent throughout, “I remember…

you mentioned that you’d requested some Spirit Energy Tomes to assist with your research, didn’t you?”

“And Duke of Solin had all those books prepared for you?”

“Ah, yes.”

Adalbert raised his head, initially not catching what Ian was referring to, but soon he nodded and looked in a certain direction of the Subspace Labyrinth, “I remember they seemed to be placed in the office of the dean…

They are all ancient tomes imbued with malevolent power, just let them perish with the labyrinth…”

Before Adalbert could finish his sentence, Ian turned his head and hurried toward the dean’s office.

— Perish with the labyrinth?

What a joke!

Each of those ancient tomes containing ‘malevolent power’ was an irreplaceable treasure!

And most likely, the Dragon Worship Cult tasked him…

Oh, it seems they only asked him to look for the location of the Book of Silver Radiance?

It doesn’t seem necessary to retrieve it.

But no matter, Ian himself wanted to see what was so special about the power contained within the Book of Silver Radiance.

In any case, amidst Adalbert’s slightly dismayed expression, Ian quickly arrived at the dean’s office.

The courtyard of the office was experiencing a light blood rain, and although Ian didn’t know how it rained blood inside the city, it seemed like the feedback of hatred from the Domain of Void — as the site overseeing this nightmare laboratory, the power of Lost Souls must gather here.
