"This is bad. This map has everything, even places where deities frequently appear and their secret bases are marked, but there's just no location of the dwarf kingdom, not even a single clue..."
Lin Tian stared at the parchment scroll, his expression growing grim.
Because this meant the situation wasn't optimistic.
It meant finding the dwarf kingdom's location would take a very long time.
Two months, he didn't know if it would be enough.
Hearing this.
Everyone's faces showed gravity.
Bill sighed even more, "What should we do? According to the situation where even deities would eliminate and suppress dwarves, they must be hiding in a place where even gods can't find them!"
"This is getting quite troublesome. Our group seems to have the worst intelligence system."
One-Eyed Owl looked around at everyone and sighed.
In the past, Gob Tian could serve as a scout to gather information.
But that kind of scout was at most an errand runner, completely lacking reconnaissance ability.
Lin Tian turned to look at Heracles on the ground, lifted his foot and stomped hard on his arm, "Tell me! The location of the Pure Blood Dwarf Kingdom!"
"Crack crack..."
The shattered bones made grinding sounds!
A strong stabbing pain like electric current instantly rushed into Heracles' brain!
The pain made him unable to help crying out, "Ah! I... I don't know! The pure blood dwarves were permanently buried on the stage of the Divine Continent hundreds of years ago!"
"Weren't they exterminated?"
Lin Tian continued questioning.
Heracles hurriedly answered, "They shouldn't be. Among the people, a legend once circulated that someone had seen an enormously huge defensive fortress, which could very likely be the dwarf kingdom."
"Someone saw it? Then why didn't you pursue and investigate to find it?"
One-Eyed Owl said coldly.
Thinking this guy was just lying.
Heracles shook his head, "When we learned of this legend, the discoverer and that village had already turned to ash..."
This cruel world wasn't as stable and peaceful as modern times.
Villages not only had to face food and clothing problems, but also guard against bandits and brigands. Perhaps a village that had developed peacefully for a hundred years of history.
The next day would be razed to the ground by a gang of bandits, with everyone captured as slaves.
Thus, Lin Tian didn't ask further, "Now the trouble is much more serious than imagined..."
"Your Majesty Goblin, how delighted we are to meet again~"
At this moment, several figures easily leaped up from below the city wall, landing not far from Lin Tian and the others.
It was Luo Ai'er and the adventurers from the Stellar Sanctuary.
Lin Tian frowned, "It's you? What do you want."
Hearing this.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty's strength to far exceed my imagination, actually defeating the so-called strongest demigod Heracles and many top existences of the Divine Continent."
Luo Ai'er spoke while signaling the surrounding adventurers to bow respectfully together.
She was extremely glad about her previous choice!
Pendragon, the Queen, and Heracles' faces looked worse than if they'd eaten shit!
The Queen even said venomously, "You bitch! Did you know some intelligence but didn't tell us, then harmed us!"
At that time they were still thinking of casually destroying the Stellar Sanctuary.
Looking at it now, they simply felt ridiculous.
Heracles' eyes lit up, "Star-level adventurer?! Quick! Quickly save us, Lady Luo Ai'er! I've always been very respectful to you!"
Each star-level adventurer had combat power comparable to his.
Although this wasn't certain, from the star-level adventurer trials it could be seen they were definitely hidden super strong individuals.
Luo Ai'er righteously and very firmly refused, "Sorry, I said I chose neutrality, but now I choose to stand on His Majesty Goblin's side."
She thought this show of goodwill could gain Lin Tian's favor.
However.
Luo Ai'er noticed Lin Tian's expression was extremely grim, staring at them coldly like a blade.
This scared her body to pause slightly, "Ah... right, Your Majesty Goblin, we came to celebrate for you. We're sorry for being late and not helping..."
After speaking, she signaled the adventurer beside her.
Barcelona was currently looking at the rear with extreme amazement, "My god, such a prosperous super town, when did it appear?!"
Several other star-level adventurers were also very surprised.
After being pushed and signaled, they quickly snapped out of their surprise and took out an exquisite box from behind.
Walking forward a few steps, they bowed and offered it.
Lin Tian impatiently opened the box, which contained a Radiant-level magic tool short sword.
Named 'Dragon God's Fang'.
Barcelona bowed with eyes full of pride, thinking this nouveau riche from the Savage Lands probably had never seen a Radiant-level magic tool.
Having strength was one thing, but knowledge was definitely limited.
"Smack!"
Suddenly a force struck his hand, directly knocking the Dragon God's Fang to the ground.
Barcelona stepped back several paces in shock, "Your Highness, why is this?"
Looking up, he saw Lin Tian's eyes churning with killing intent!
One-Eyed Owl, Alice and others were the same!
The atmosphere immediately became tense, oppressive enough to make breathing difficult!
Lin Tian glanced disdainfully at that magic tool, "I thought it was some treasure, but it turns out... just this trash? If you can't satisfy me, hmph..."
Just a few short sentences.
Yet like sharp blades hanging over Luo Ai'er and the others' heads!
As if they could take their lives at any moment!
"Haha, yes, exactly like this! Don't think you'll have a good ending! So satisfying haha!"
Seeing this, the Queen couldn't help laughing loudly, laughing with particular charm and abandon.
She was suddenly scared into silence by one of Lin Tian's glances.
However, she was still secretly delighted inside.
Lin Tian looked again at Luo Ai'er and those adventurers. Originally, if they hadn't appeared, he might have spared these guys.
But they appeared at the most inappropriate time.
Seeing his strength exposed, if not killed, they had to be kept as slaves.
The kind that could never leave the military city prison.
Under Luo Ai'er's tight clothing, she couldn't help breaking into cold sweat, hurriedly explaining, "Your Majesty Goblin, did you encounter something unpleasant? Why are you suddenly angry?"
"This is a Radiant-level magic tool! Don't be so ungrateful! Really a country dog from the Savage Lands!"
Unexpectedly, Barcelona suddenly raised his voice and said viciously.
Around them.
It immediately fell into dead silence.
The Queen, Pendragon, Heracles all stared at him with wide eyes.
Only thinking this guy must be crazy!
The next second.
Lin Tian slowly spoke, "Kneel down..."
As his mouth opened and closed.
Barcelona's expression instantly changed drastically, his whole person falling to his knees with a thud! His kneecaps felt like they were about to shatter!
Before he could feel the severe pain, he heard Lin Tian speak again, "End yourself..." This required consuming all magic power.
However, it didn't affect anything.
After using Ultimate Domination, he could only use Dark Sacred Word.
If the opponent was weaker than himself, they were completely like marionettes under his control. Even if the opponent was stronger than himself!
They still had to submit!
This was Lin Tian now, let alone some nobody acting arrogant in front of him.
"What's happening! My body... my body is out of control! Ah ah! No! Save me! President! Save me! And you all!!"
Barcelona's body trembled as he slowly reached toward the Dragon God's Fang short sword on the ground beside him.
Slashing toward his own neck!
As his vision was stained red with blood, his whole person collapsed in a pool of blood, twitching a few times before losing breath.
His pupils retained endless despair and fearful expressions!
This would accompany his dying soul forever!
Around them, everyone couldn't help covering their mouths!
Unable to believe such a thing could happen!
Several people who wanted to go help were stopped by Luo Ai'er. She forcibly calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, our Stellar Sanctuary said we're willing to stand on your side. If there's anything that makes you unhappy, please tell us!"
"It has nothing to do with being happy or unhappy, but there really is such a problem. If you can solve it, I'll spare you who should die..."
Lin Tian's eyes turned as he said thoughtfully.
Hearing this.
This scared those adventurers so much they got goosebumps. This level of monster - they had spent almost their entire lives in danger.
But now was the first time they felt death's terror so directly!
According to these words, it seemed they were actually already dead people!
Luo Ai'er maintained that respectful attitude, "Please feel free to speak."
One-Eyed Owl helped explain, "We plan to find the location of the Pure Blood Dwarf Kingdom. If you know, we'll spare you! Otherwise, including the entire Stellar Sanctuary must disappear..."
If these guys leaked information to various Divine Courts.
That would cause incalculable consequences.
"Pure Blood Dwarf Kingdom? Even deities can't find that!"
"Right, we've adventured our whole lives, what place on the Divine Continent haven't we been to? Up to the sky islands, down to the deep sea abyss! There are no clues about any dwarf kingdom at all!"
"Having us answer this question is no different from killing us!"
Several adventurers were already scared and began complaining, their eyes full of unwillingness!
Because there really was no location of the dwarf kingdom.
Watching Lin Tian's expression grow increasingly grim and terrifying, they only felt more and more suffocated!
Just at this moment.
Luo Ai'er suddenly said, "City of Evil Sages! They're in a secret realm cave in the City of Evil Sages!"
"City of Evil Sages?"
Lin Tian squinted his eyes questioningly.
He wasn't too familiar with this.
Luo Ai'er continued explaining, "It's a force created by those attempting to revive Satan. That's where Satan was killed by the gods, his soul still remains there. Because believers exist, it has never been able to be erased or killed."
"Even deities can't find it, yet you tell me the dwarf kingdom is in such a famous place?"
Lin Tian couldn't help questioning.
Feeling she was just buying time.
Luo Ai'er hurriedly answered, afraid of being neglectful, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. People in the City of Evil Sages focus all their attention on Satan, naturally they wouldn't search for the dwarf kingdom there.
As far as I know, the dwarves secretly allied with the Evil Sages. The Evil Sages are responsible for hiding the dwarf kingdom's location, while the dwarves give them a god-slaying magic tool to help them reclaim Satan's body parts kept in various Divine Courts."
Hearing this.
Lin Tian still held a doubtful attitude.
However, One-Eyed Owl and the others nodded thoughtfully - it indeed made sense.
Seeing Lin Tian's doubtful expression hadn't dissipated, Luo Ai'er continued explaining, "Because I also have close dealings with the City of Evil Sages, even... could be considered allies, planning to assist them in reviving the Great Demon God Satan..."
"Oh?"
Now Lin Tian found it somewhat interesting, "Why do you want to revive Satan? For humans, he's a disaster, right?"
Beside them, Heracles and others couldn't help thinking, "Disaster? What disaster compares to you?!"
Luo Ai'er seemed somewhat hesitant, "Your Majesty, I've already answered your question, but please forgive me for needing to keep this confidential."
Confidential?
Generally when someone wanted to keep something confidential, it meant there were even more powerful existences behind them.
But for Lin Tian, there were almost no secrets.

Actually has forty thousand combat power?
Already comparable to a deity. Last time he roughly glanced without paying attention.
This guy was actually hiding so deeply!
And those four words "Fallen Deity" were very conspicuous.
Actually another fallen deity!
Looking at her identity, it wasn't simple, with extremely complex connections behind her.
Lin Tian originally wanted to eliminate them all afterward. After all, he wouldn't release tigers back to mountains, especially if they informed on him, it would cause unimaginable consequences.
But now, he needed to treat this carefully.
"Then I won't force you. Before the intelligence is verified, I need you to sign contracts with me and become my servants. After the intelligence is verified, I'll release you all."
Lin Tian then said coldly.
Slowly walking toward Barcelona's drained body on the ground, devouring it completely.
Recovering magic power.
Hearing this.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Luo Ai'er's eyes, "Your Majesty, this is going too far. You should be able to see our admiration for you isn't fake!"
The next second she regretted it.
Lin Tian's tone became icy cold again, "Are you sure? I'm just giving you one more choice, not sparing your life..."
"President, things have come to this, let's sign the contract. Even becoming servants is better than dying!"
"Didn't you see just now? Barcelona died so mysteriously!"
"His strength - we're not qualified to oppose it. President, please endure for now. If he really wanted to kill us, he wouldn't say so much!"
Several adventurers were already scared witless and began persuading.
They had seen all kinds of scenes, but this was the first time seeing such terrifying events where just moving one's lips could make the strongest star-level adventurer die!!
At this moment.
Luo Ai'er fell into silence, pondering in her mind, "Actually wanting me to be a goblin's servant? Once... I was an existence second only to those two lords! Moreover, I'm now the leader of the Old God Nirvana Organization! If I became a goblin's slave... then everything would fall short of success!
It's just a pity my power hasn't recovered... those two lords still haven't appeared, it's unclear whether they've even reincarnated. Otherwise, how could I have fallen to this state!"
