Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Locks’s Intention
Hearing that Erica was preparing to return to the Alchemy Tower to continue her enslavement under Locks,
Li Wei wanted to help her but had no good way to do so.
This wasn’t a problem that could be solved with Power alone.
Even if Li Wei could destroy a Kingdom, he was powerless against the predicament Erica faced.
He thought of someone.
’If it were Torresta, maybe he’d have a solution.’
However, his relationship with Erica wasn’t deep enough for that.
Erica herself had never even thought of escaping Locks’s control.
If Li Wei took the initiative to bring it up, he would seem like a meddler.
Li Wei looked at Erica and said, "I have one last question. Why exactly did Locks come here?"
Erica replied, "To search for a Giant Dragon."
"To be more precise, to find a Dragon Heart."
Li Wei asked in confusion, "A Dragon Heart?"
A thought struck him, and he asked in surprise, "Could it be to make a Dragon Blood Potion?"
Erica nodded. "Yes, but also no. Not an ordinary Dragon Blood Potion, but a Longevity Dragon Blood Potion."
"A special Dragon Blood Potion that can extend the user’s lifespan."
"Locks wants longevity? With his abilities, he shouldn’t need this kind of Potion, right?" Li Wei questioned.
Locks could swap bodies at any time and could also modify himself.
Wouldn’t it be easy for him to obtain a long life?
Erica said, "The one who wants the Longevity Dragon Blood Potion isn’t my master. I’m not sure who it is, but my master seems to have been working for that person all along."
Li Wei was surprised. ’I can’t believe someone as powerful as Locks is just working for someone else.’
Otz strode over and said, "The person behind Locks is Albert Norman, the Empire’s Jade Prince."
Hearing this, Li Wei turned to look at Otz.
"How do you know?"
Otz replied, "Locks and I both work under Norman. We’re just responsible for different areas."
Li Wei thought of their previous encounter and had a moment of realization.
He said, "Oh, so he’s the one who helped you establish your kingdom from behind the scenes."
Otz shook his head. "It wasn’t him."
Li Wei was stunned. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Otz said, "Although I work for Norman, he is not the one I’m loyal to. Norman is just one of my employers."
Li Wei looked at him and asked, "Then who are you loyal to?"
Otz said, "I can’t tell you right now."
Li Wei waved his hand. "Forget it. I have no interest in your power struggles. You don’t have to tell me."
Otz said, "You may not be interested, but with the strength and potential you’ve shown, you’re bound to be drawn into this great conflict in the future."
"This is a crisis, but also an opportunity."
"It is the worst of times, and also the best of times."
"We will usher in a golden age, and I sincerely invite you to join us."
Otz said to Li Wei earnestly.
Li Wei shook his head and refused, "Sorry, I don’t want to get involved in your affairs."
"We’ll see if that day ever comes."
Otz nodded. "You are welcome to join us at any time."
"We want to change not only the Northern Territory and the Central Earth Continent, but the entire world."
Hearing this, Li Wei couldn’t help but chuckle. "Now that sounds like something."
Unfortunately, he didn’t want to get involved in Otz’s business.
It sounded dangerous just hearing about it.
If you want to change the whole world, the first problem you have to face is the lofty Divine Spirits above.
The Divine Spirits would not allow the world to change in ways they did not foresee.
Li Wei turned and left.
After learning why Locks came to Maple City,
Li Wei also learned of a major event that was about to happen in the future.
Of course, it might also be dead in the water.
What Otz and his group wanted to do was too difficult.
Although Li Wei didn’t know what they were planning, it was nothing more than a struggle for power and profit.
Nothing more than a change of dynasties.
The ancients of his past life had long ago warned future generations of an unchanging truth:
What is long divided must unite, and what is long united must divide.
The Human Empire had maintained its rule for thousands of years.
There were too many internal contradictions.
It had already reached this stage.
Compared to what Otz and his group wanted to do, Li Wei was more concerned about the "Jade Prince" Otz had mentioned.
If the Jade Prince wanted to find the Longevity Dragon Blood Potion, then he would inevitably come into conflict with Li Wei.
After all, Li Wei now possessed the world’s only Holy Giant Dragon.
One could even say he had the only living dragon in the entire world.
In the hundreds of years since the Dragon Race had vanished without a trace, Saint Xi could truly be called the only one.
Otherwise, the Jade Prince wouldn’t be chasing after a vague and illusory legend about Dragon Fall Slope.
Otherwise, with his abilities, how could he not obtain more accurate and detailed information?
This meant that Dragon Fall Slope was the closest he could get to any news about a Giant Dragon.
Li Wei put the White Nitro into his Beast Taming Ring.
The Shadow Attendant returned to his body.
He walked toward the Mage Tower.
’It’s been a while. Saint Xi and Torresta should be about done talking by now.’
WHOOSH!
A figure cut through the sky and descended upon Maple City.
Li Wei stopped in his tracks and looked up.
When he got a clear look at the newcomer, he couldn’t help but frown.
’I’ve been frowning more and more lately.’
’This isn’t good. My forehead is going to get wrinkled early.’
’But there’s nothing to be done about it. I’ve just run into too many headaches lately.’
For example, right now, a Cardinal of the Light Divine Sect had appeared in the sky above Maple City.
Although Li Wei didn’t know Minos, he recognized the attire of a Cardinal at a glance.
After snatching the Goddess’s Tears from the Light Divine Sect, Li Wei had spent some time researching them in detail.
He basically knew the personnel structure of the Light Divine Sect.
A Cardinal was already considered a high-ranking member of the Light Divine Sect.
Their strength was naturally terrifying.
Lancelot was just a bishop of the Divine Hall of Light, and his strength had already reached the Legendary Level.
His status was much lower than a Cardinal’s.
A Cardinal was someone who could act on behalf of the Pope when outside the Holy See.
When they were out and about, they basically represented the will of the Light Divine Sect.
Li Wei worried inwardly, ’This Cardinal couldn’t be here for the Goddess’s Tears, could he?’
The Goddess’s Tears had already been consumed in the Polluted Earth Rebirth Ceremony.
’I can only hope they don’t trace it back to me.’
Minos paused for a moment above Maple City, then flew toward the Mage Tower.
He sensed the aura of a Holy Giant Dragon.
Earlier, he had sensed fluctuations of Holy Power from a distance.
Only after arriving at Maple City did he perceive the faint aura of the Holy Giant Dragon.
It was inside the Mage Tower.
When Li Wei saw Minos flying toward the Mage Tower, his heart jumped.
’Damn it, he couldn’t be here for the Holy Giant Dragon too, could he?’
Li Wei hurriedly rushed toward the Mage Tower.
He was extremely frustrated.
He knew that the matter of the Holy Giant Dragon was significant, but he never expected it to bring so much trouble.
