Chapter 762 The Bones for Elke and Annaliese?
Upon arriving at the southern border of Linn Province with Ashen, Lothur immediately began searching for Annaliese and Elke, once again finding his women easily.
For the current Lothur, finding people in the province was something extremely simple. While investigating the area south of the province, Lothur had even identified a few groups of demons. But focused on delivering the bones he had to his wives and fulfilling his mission, he ignored them and quickly made his way to these two.
When he got close enough for the system to show him their status, Lothur immediately saw how strong the two strongest of the family were.
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Soul Cultivation: Level 20]
[Body Cultivation: Level 20]
[STR: 1,400] [CON: 1,710] [DEX: 1,400] [AGI: 1,390]
[INT: 130] [PER: 250] [WILL: 820] [SOU: 1,150]

[Name: Annaliese Frost]
[Soul Cultivation: Level 20]
[Body Cultivation: Level 19]
[STR: 1,050] [CON: 1,460] [DEX: 1,200] [AGI: 1,210]
[INT: 197] [PER: 255] [WIL: 670] [SOU: 1,400]
'Impressive!' He thought. 'With these attributes, these two will pass me in almost everything after absorbing the bones I have for them.'
Unlike Lothur, who hadn't had the chance to absorb so many high-quality bones in a row, nor had he had the chance to build up his strength before absorbing his bones, his women had become strong enough to change a lot after this moment.
He estimated that his women would be between 4 and 6 times stronger after they finished absorbing their respective Soul Bones.
If that happened, their numbers would be impressive!
They would probably reach level 22 or even level 23!
While imagining how far they could go, Lothur did what he had already done with Viktoria and Rebecca and woke them up.
"Lothur!" They said as they opened their eyes to see their husband standing there.
But once again, Lothur already had several Soul Bones in his hands, 2 from Emperor demons, 2 from Monarch demons, and 2 from General demons.
He wanted them to share equally and did not miss the opportunity to tell them so.
"Elke, Anna, let's not waste any time. I want you to take the highest quality bones first and leave the lowest quality bones for last. Let's build up your strength before worse trouble hits us." He said and let three bones float in front of each of them.
Seeing the quality of these bones, Annaliese opened her mouth in shock to ask. "How did you get so many bones?"
"Now I am a Sage, Anna." He said, smiling. "If you want to reach that level, absorb this quickly."
Elke and Annaliese looked at each other like children about to open their presents and did not hesitate to return to their meditative positions, this time with the Platinum-grade bones in hand to begin their absorption.
Seeing this, Lothur did what he had done where Viktoria and Rebecca were, setting up some defensive formations in the area before going to his men to give them the resources they needed.
"Absorb these resources and increase your harvest. Transcendents will be of no value to my family after this day." Lothur told them all.
"Yes, master!" They said, genuinely happy, for this was an excellent opportunity for all of them, something they had never dreamed of.
As these men took in what their master had seen fit to give them, Lothur quickly found an Origin Saint near where his family's tent was and moved.
Upon reaching this person, Lothur covered his face with a mask, changing the color of his hair and the shape of his clothing.
Appearing behind the person, he asked. "Saint of Leopoldine, do you know where the strongest of the Jansen family is?"
Gulp!
The man swallowed his saliva as he felt the power of the aura behind him and realized that person's cultivation.
"1st Catastrophe Sage!' His eyes opened wide as he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Jan... Jansen Family?" He mumbled as he stuttered. "Senior wants to know where the strongest of this family is?"
"That's what I asked."
This man was part of one of the few Leopoldine powers that lived in the shadows. So, it was clear that he knew where these people from the Jansen family were.
The Jansen family were the true leaders of this state, commanding the local forces in this dire situation the empire was in.
But even though he was afraid and loyal to the Jansen family, this man could not lie to a Sage!
If the Sage wanted to do something bad to the Jansen family, then the state would be finished. But he alone could not stop such a person. With or without his help, this Sage would find that family.
The man said to save himself and try not to make things worse. "Senior, please don't do anything bad to the Jansen family. They are good people who are just trying to live their lives peacefully."
"Just tell me where the family leaders are."
"They are scattered all over the empire. The three strongest of the family lead groups here on the border with Ashen, another with Lenz, and another with Utrary."
With these words, Lothur realized he could complete his mission by talking to one of these Jansen family members and confirming whether or not they were related to the soul fragment.
"What is their strength?" He asked so that he could look them up more quickly.
"They are Supreme Saints, senior."
With that answer, Lothur once again used One With Nature and his sight to search for all the Supreme Saints within a radius of up to 100 kilometers from him.
Within 10 minutes, Lothur found 4 such individuals in that area, near where two of his women were.
Noticing the pointed ears of one of these individuals, Lothur frowned, sensing that this was one of Mathias' descendants.
He cut through the space and quickly appeared near such a person, causing all the Supreme Saints in the area to look at each other and change upon noticing his arrival.
Some of them had been sent from Utrary to watch the enemy leaders.
The moment Lothur arrived and realized that they were enemies, he killed them so quickly that the people in that group of Jansen family elders could only hear the sound of leaves moving as heads fell in the area.
But the strongest person in the empire there realized what the newcomer had done something, and he immediately looked at this person who surpassed him in every way.
"1st Catastrophe Sage..." He muttered when he saw Lothur looking at him.
But while everyone in the camp feared this newly arrived expert, Lothur suddenly surprised everyone there.
"Supreme Saint of the Jansen family, I am here in the name of Mathias Scheidemann, father of Milo Scheidemann. Do these names mean anything to you? Don't worry. I'm not an enemy but a friend." Lothur got straight to the point, making the old man open his mouth in shock, not expecting to hear these names from anyone other than his younger brother or sister.
