Chapter 746 - A Demon’s lair (2)

Chapter 746

…

Inside a big room with lavish decoration sat a young man wearing a dark blue robe while reading some reports on the table. His eyebrows are scrunched upon looking at what is written on the paper in his hand.

Shin Jiao has been busy these past few days with many things. He has been following up with the improvement of his village and the ever-increasing income and demand of the small shop in Gipard. He has already used a lot of materials in creating and improving the village, crafting, and alchemy that his reserves are already dwindling.

"I need to get my hand on more resources…" he muttered while looking at the data on the table.

Knock! Knock!

His attention was interrupted upon hearing the knocking sound outside his office door.

"Come in!" he said unconsciously while his attention went back to the papers in his hand.

After his words, the sturdy brown wooden door opens and two beautiful women enter the luxurious office room.

When Luna entered Shin Jiao's office her expression immediately changes. She did not expect to enter a well-decorated room that does not look like something she has seen before.

She immediately noticed that the temperature inside the room seem to have been regulated as it is not too hot and not too cold either.

Then she saw the lights and many other novel things inside which made her eyes began to roam around.

"Greetings, Master Ji…" Eleanora greeted with a curtsy.

"Hum… Oh, Eleanora, it's you… How is your work in the town hall?" Shin Jiao also reflexively greeted upon hearing and seeing Eleanora.

"I'm doing really great, master Ji…"

"That's good… and what do I owe the pleasure of your visit today?"

"Oh… I'm just here to request a resurrection plate for an escapee…" Eleanora said while looking behind her.

"This here is Luna Halil…"

Upon her words, Eleanora gently grabs Luna's dainty hands and then with a smile drags her beside her.

Shin Jiao looks at the young woman beside Eleanora and carefully scrutinized the woman. Upon looking at Luna, Shin Jiao's expression did not change, but his heart seems to have skipped a beat.

How could he not? He is all too familiar with the aura she is exuding right now. The aura, that is enveloping her, is truly vigorous and very unique. But of course, the people in the immortal land would not be able to tell what kind of aura is it.

But for Shin Jiao he is fully aware of such a thing. This is because; he knew that the woman is supposed to not have such an aura. She is either consciously controlling her aura to exude as such, or subconsciously doing it. But all in all, the aura she has is actually fake.

Unlike Shin Jiao who already has the same physique as his power, this woman is different. Her physique is far weaker than her aura. He could judge this due to the slight difference which is mixed in the aura she is trying to exude.

"Hmm… Thank you, Eleanora… I will have to talk to her for a moment, will that be okay?" Shin Jiao said with a smile on his face.

Eleanora knew of the procedure and did not question further. She just nodded her head and turn around after patting the small hands of Luna trying to assure her that everything is fine.

Luna just nodded her head and just watches as Eleanora left the luxurious office room.

"Do you want something to drink? Tea or any beverage you prefer?" Shin Jiao offers as he stands up from his seat.

"I'm fine… I just ate something a while ago…" Luna just replied.

She did not know who this Master Ji is and what she is supposed to do next. However, she knew that with the help of this guy, her resurrection spot would change after she gets her hand on a resurrection plate. And that is her purpose in coming to this place.

After she gets her resurrection plate, she would begin searching the human land for that mysterious person who has changed the human race's strength and power. The craftsman that has piqued her interest.

As she looks indifferently at the young man who is busy tinkering with something on a large wooden drawer, she soon saw him pulling a small table with some apparatus on it from inside.

What Shin Jiao pulls an apparatus used for creating resurrection crystal plates.

"Alright… Luna, right? Please sit here and put your arm on the surface of the table." Shin Jiao instructed as he prepares the apparatus.

Luna was a bit baffled but still followed his instructions.

"Okay, now let me explain… this thing will change the spiritual mark you have left in any type of external artifact that is holding them. Then I will put that mark on these crystal plates which would serve as your temporary resurrection spot. You can either destroy it to reset to your resurrection stone or keep it, your choice…" Shin Jiao explained.

"Do you understand? Now I will be starting soon, this would sting a bit, but it would not hurt that much…"

When Shin Jiao was about to start, Luna suddenly lifted her hand.

"Wait… If… If I transfer my resurrection spot to a crystal plate, will it destroy the traces I have on the black box?" she asked with a worried expression.

Shin Jiao did not know why she is worried, but he showed a calm expression and smiled.

"I can give you an option for that… but first I have to extract some information… okay?"

Hearing those words, Luna showed a faint smile on her face and she heaves a sigh of relief.

But before she could know it, she suddenly saw a red light appearing from the apparatus and penetrated the surface of the skin of her arm.

Arrgghh!!!

Being taken aback, she winces in pain as what that bastard told him was a lie. It did not hurt just a bit, it hurt like hell. She knew that this is the same feeling she had when her resurrection spot what extracted by the black box. That was a long time ago, but she can still remember the same hellish pain.

And this same pain was experienced by everyone who uses or get captured using the black box. 

But then suddenly the pain stopped and it made Luna showed an astounded look on her face.

She knew how painful it is to use the black box, and she is actually expecting the same feeling when she was surprised by that red light. However, in just a second it stopped. And this made her showed a suspicious look on her face.

Suddenly what she heard next made her heart skipped a beat.

"Oh, I see… so your black box is within the Elven Empire… Hmm... what place is this? And your resurrection stone… Oh…" Shin Jiao muttered upon seeing on the screen in front of him the location of Luna's black box and resurrection stone.

"Hmm… it seems that this is troublesome. Your stone was transferred to the Elven territory..."

When Shin Jiao shifted his gaze towards Luna, he saw her looking at him with her eyes wide open in shock. How could she not? She was thoroughly dumbfounded and baffled as to how this man could determine such a thing.

"I… I… I'm not a sp…" she stuttered.

"Hmm? Oh, I always get that reaction. This is a new model for creating resurrection plates. Plus, it can locate any black box or resurrection plate and the original resurrection stone, pretty nifty, right?" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Luna showed an awkward smile as she could not process what is happening right now. She wanted to say that she is not a spy, but it seems that the young man in front of her does not care at all.

After creating a resurrection plate for her, Shin Jiao did not give it to her immediately. Instead, he put it inside his b.r.e.a.s.t pocket. And his action made Luna feel a bit alarmed.

"Alright, now that I have your resurrection plate, let's go with the most important matter…" Shin Jiao asked with a shrewd smile on his handsome face.

"Who are you really?"

With this question, Luna's expression froze.

…

2 days later…

In the thick forest, a group of people are currently riding on their flying swords while traversing the deep forest. They dare not fly higher as there are powerful beasts inside this part of the forest. The monsters in these parts have the power that could rival lords and even high lords.

Even the shadow creatures that are abundant near the towns and villages would not venture into these parts.

Soon, the group got off their flying swords as they arrive in a spacious valley where large floating rocks of different sizes could be seen. The smallest of these floating rocks is the size of a house, while the largest could be the size of two cities. One could say that these are floating islands.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99s-lair-(2)_51916219627924726 for visiting.

The scenery was truly spectacular that it made everyone who has not seen this scene be awed and feel astonished. Even those that came with the first scouting group from before still have a look of amazement in their eyes.

"Master Ji… these floating islands…" Ji Koon, who is standing beside Shin Jiao, suddenly wanted to ask something but stopped mid-way as he saw his father looking at him with a stern gaze.

"Shhh… We have company…" the golden armored protector leading the group suddenly warned.

Meanwhile among the group is a young woman wearing a body-tight black suit under a trenchcoat while holding a sniper rifle. Her eyes are fixed upfront while looking at the reticle covering her right eye. A slight smile appears on her face as a mixture of fascination and excitement could be seen in her expression.

"Luna, get ready!" Shin Jiao shouted as the beast suddenly appears in front of the group.
