333: Chapter 310: Proxy of the Labyrinth Master – Shasha (3/3) 333: Chapter 310: Proxy of the Labyrinth Master – Shasha (3/3) The Spiritual Machine Nun smiled as she severed her life breath.
Ian surveyed the bodies around him; the last survivors of the Fiery Fla Land’s special combat forces had all t their end here.
Having killed everyone, Ian actually felt much relieved.
One could even say, the sense of crisis that had been lingering in his mind finally dissipated.
Without a doubt, if he had let them live to leave this place, the impact would have been too great, even enough to change the outco of events for the worse.
Not to ntion, if the Brain-Eating Parasite was obtained by Fiery Fla Land, the situation would be quite serious.
Ian himself had no desire to beco the Nest Master, but that didn’t an others wouldn’t.
“Thank goodness I have Foresight View.”
Thinking this, he exhaled and sighed, “I really didn’t expect all of the leaders of this group from Fiery Fla Land to be alive—even one of them was planning to leave with the parasite, truly audacious.”
“The information they would’ve revealed once outside is too crucial.
It would affect my disguise, so I had to eliminate them all.”
“On the other hand, it’s quite unexpected that the Spiritual Tool Church would be resolved so easily.
I thought I would have to fight a major battle, but they ended themselves.”
With this thought, he shook his head slightly, “It’s exactly as the White Mist Bishop said—he wouldn’t take action, nor does he need to, as the Spiritual Tool Church never allows any force to trouble them.”
“Anyway, once the database deletes the key information and is returned, they can be resurrected, right?
In the end, there’s no loss…sigh, the Four Great Orthodox Churches really do have their reasons for being the major powers independent of nations.”
Ian checked the brain databases of the two survivors and found that their mories were all segnted by day, already turned into plug-in discs.
In other words, the Spiritual Tool Church could delete any part of its own mory at any ti, ensuring absolute secrecy while also making their own ‘resurrection’ incredibly easy.
As long as their heads weren’t destroyed, the absence of other body parts wasn’t a problem.
After processing the data with the Silver Chip, Ian cut off the heads of the two Spiritual Tool Church monks and hung them on his waist.
Though sowhat grotesque, he didn’t have the spare ti to remove their Electronic Brains separately—the situation was similar enough, so it would do.
After dealing with the last of the hidden dangers, Ian disappeared silently into the underwater passage.
And when he reappeared next to Yisen Gard, Master Gossay, and others, nobody had any issue with the heads hanging from his waist.
Even Yisen, who had once been a naïve soft touch, had grown a much stronger heart after the trials in the Ruins, becoming quite composed.
At least a re human head wasn’t enough to surprise him anymore.
“It’s done.
Next, we’re heading to the Native Holy Land.”
Speaking calmly, Ian’s tone was as natural as washing hands before a al: “Then, it’s ti to leave through the ‘main entrance’ of the South Sea Relic Cluster in principle.”
“This journey through the Ruins…
should also co to an end.”
Shasha didn’t leave the South Sea Relic Cluster with everyone else.
It really liked the nest settled by the Crystal Dragon, swimming around joyfully as if it had returned ho, to the point that, when Ian suggested taking it out for treatnt, Big Shark hesitated and declined, even showing off its already healing wounds.
In this place, its healing was faster than others, clearly very well adapted.
“Labyrinths are different from Ruins.
Essentially, a Labyrinth is the result of natural changes in the Spirit Energy Field, causing drastic changes in the environnt that leads to an evolving ecosystem,” Master Gossay, well-versed and knowledgeable, provided an explanation that was common sense for Adventurers: “The place where the Master of the Labyrinth settles is where the Spirit Energy Field of the Labyrinth is most concentrated.
This is a subtle and profound enhancent for all Magical Beasts, and your Ironclad Shark partner is obviously the type sensitive to Spirit Energy Fields.
Staying in this place is hugely beneficial for it.”
“Don’t worry too much.
The slightly more powerful Magical Beasts in the Ruins have mostly been wiped out, not to ntion the Ironclad Shark is already a top predator in the Southern Sea.
Without the Second Energy Level and parasites, it’s very safe here.”
Since Gossay had said as much, Ian had no reason to stop Shasha from pursuing its happiness—looking at its happy, foolish deanor, it might have already planned where to build its future nest and how many little sharks to have.
And besides, Master Gossay’s words sparked an idea in Ian’s heart.
——Very beneficial for Magical Beasts…really?
If that’s the case, on the surface, he could easily let Shasha assu the title of ‘Master of the Labyrinth’!
Especially since Shasha had advanced to the Second Energy Level, it would be even more fitting, at least not too out of place.
With his assistance, fulfilling the duties of Labyrinth Master wouldn’t be difficult.
The first layer, Shasha is the Labyrinth Master.
The second layer, it’s actually Ian who is the Labyrinth Master.
At the top level, Ian has the highest authority over the Redwood Ruins Cluster!
Normally, showing just the first layer is enough, Ian believes that whether it’s Bishop White Mist, Yisen Gard, or Master Gossay, none would reveal this.
Even if it accidentally leaked that Ian was the Labyrinth Master, it wouldn’t be a big deal, such things had happened before, and the most that would co of it was being pulled in as a laborer for exploration.
The third layer, no one knows that Ian is actually the master of the Redwood Base!
—The Master of the Labyrinth?
Just a temporary scapegoat for repairs, a re workman who helps sweep the floor, I could create a bunch of them with a flick of my hand if I wanted to!
Even.
An idea erged in Ian’s mind, “The process of them exploring the labyrinth is, in essence, also helping clear out those local Magical Beasts that are hard to manage—looking at it this way, it’s no wonder so Labyrinth Masters don’t attack adventurers, only appearing at the last mont to block them from entering the deepest parts of the labyrinth.”
“I didn’t understand it at first, but now that I think about it, isn’t this just treating adventurers as unpaid janitors?”
Sneaky, he likes it!
“Good, I’ll make ti to co see you.”
Having already chosen Shasha as the acting Labyrinth Master, Ian patted its head satisfactorily, prompting it to let out a content ‘whoa!’.
Afterward, the young man thought about it and also stored so of his more sensitive items in the center of the labyrinth.
Despite the fact that the final boss of the South Sea Labyrinth, the Aether Crystal Dragon, and the hidden boss, the Worm Nest, had been eliminated by them, in reality, given the remoteness of South Ridge, waiting for adventurers to naturally breech and fully explore the labyrinth could take seven or eight years, or even longer, and the follow-up developnt would be extrely prolonged.
Not to ntion the subsequent ruins developnt, which is calculated based on a ti fra of decades.
If not for the difficulty of developing ruins and labyrinths, The King wouldn’t have had to send the Grant Family to settle here, to pave the way for the future.
All in all, Shasha and the central Crystal Island of the labyrinth are actually quite safe, even if The Empire exerted all of the Nanling Province’s efforts in developnt, the safety of Crystal Island would be guaranteed for at least three to four years.
After all… for those who don’t know the true nature of the Southern Sea Ruins, it’s just a rare large or even super-large labyrinth—precious indeed, but not worth crossing half the continent to develop a remote countryside spot.
The isolation of South Ridge has its disadvantages as well as advantages for Ian’s growth.
In the end, with so many relics around, without sothing truly special, who would co to the edge of the world to develop?
The Heavy Abyss Iron Sword and the body of the Swamp Crocodile Dragon were placed around Crystal Island, and the body of the Aether Crystal Dragon was also located there.
Ian wouldn’t be polite with it.
When the ti ca, he’d consu what needed to be consud and take materials from it as needed.
The dragon was dead, and its flesh couldn’t be wasted.
It wasn’t his kill anyway.
Apart from this, there was also a Dragon Egg, placed in the arms of the Crystal Dragon.
No one knew besides Ian that the Aether Crystal Dragon bore the Spark; they just thought it was a rare labyrinth variant.
The three eggs it left behind, only one could hatch naturally, while the other two, they decided, would be entrusted to Yisen Gard and his companions, serving as their mission targets, and also, leveraging The Empire’s technological strength, to incubate these two slightly flawed eggs.
Ian couldn’t manage anything more, and he wasn’t that involved with the Crystal Dragon.
“Don’t eat the egg.”
Ian simply admonished an excited Shasha as such, and also petted its head, “Also, rember to go out for a walk every day, I might need to find you for sothing, and the labyrinth’s authority can cover Crystal Island.
Listen up, if there’s nothing else, co out quickly.”
“You can’t get those rare tal solutions here, rember not to stay indoors too much.”
“Woohoo!!”
Shasha agreed spiritedly, and Ian wasn’t worried about it—it was clear that it was about to advance to the Second Energy Level, and he estimated the next ti he brought over so rare tal solutions to make up for the nutrition it missed in the past, Shasha would be able to advance to the Second Energy Level.
With this, their partnership of one person and one Shark could traverse the entire Southern Sea, and on regular days, he could also have Shasha take on so duties of the Labyrinth Master.
Inside the ruins, all matters had been settled from start to end.
Next, everyone advanced in the direction of the Native Holy Land on the map.
