The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Fertile?

Kamu sneered.

"Let those clueless fools say whatever they want."

Everyone knows the achievements of Black Wind Castle are entirely due to the War Department's orders; it has nothing to do with the land.

Not to mention, the Demon King of Thunder County himself received the favor from the Padric family, and has unclear relations with the Colin family.

With so many overlapping factors, even if you put a dog on the lord's seat, Black Wind Castle could still thrive. Truth be told, Luo Yan practically hasn't managed there at all; he's been operating from behind the scenes and has only recently made a trip there.

"We can ignore rumors, but we must guard against others' ulterior motives."

Zakro gave Kamu a meaningful glance and continued.

"When someone wants to do something, it becomes a blade held in their hand. We are not like the Padric family, always gaining benefit; our enemies might outnumber our allies. If the outsiders doubt your governance skills, the Dragon family's territory may not be as stable as we imagine. You need to think it through."

Kamu's brow twitched slightly, and a sense of urgency gradually arose in his heart.

Black Wind Castle was once the fiefdom of the Dragon family, but now it has become a thriving industrial center, controlled by a Demon King without even noble lineage.

There are indeed murmurs about this among the Demon City nobles, and many are laughing at them.

Certainly, for the Dragon family, Black Wind Castle itself is not important, but they cannot ignore Luo Yan's continuously expanding power and his potentially adversarial relationship with the Dragon family.

If that guy is willing to remain a Demon King of a remote region, that's fine, but he not only returns every now and then, he has gotten so close to the Padric family.

This is definitely not a good sign.

Watching his grandson's flickering gaze, Zakro turned the pages gently, his eyes falling on the obscure research results, and he shifted his tone, saying.

"My child... your father, he once believed that the path to deification was hidden in some ancient alchemy rules. Yet after studying this note for a long time, I still can't decipher its mysteries... this is really unusual."

"After all, in the end, Reggie was personally nurtured by me. As his father and teacher, I still don't understand his research."

He slowly raised his head and stared deeply at Kamu.

"And Luo Yan, the outsider who seized Black Wind Castle, could effortlessly allow Black Wind Castle to develop so rapidly, and at the critical moment he unveiled alchemy technology we haven't seen before. Don't you think... this is too coincidental?"

Kamu furrowed his brows and couldn't help but whisper, "Do you mean... Luo Yan gave us incomplete notes?"

Zakro smiled slightly, without answering directly, continuing to flip the notes, his fingertips pausing on a line of cryptic text.

"Incomplete? Kamu, my grandson, you are too kind, thinking human hearts are too simple. I'd say, what he gave us is not merely missing a few lines; it's highly possible he's hiding the most crucial parts and only giving us insignificant bits... your father's research is definitely more than just this. I can even boldly speculate that he has already grasped the path to deification, otherwise how could an undead mage with Bronze-level strength rise to Silver so swiftly?"

Seeing Kamu holding his breath, he chuckled softly and spoke with a sinister tone.

"Hardworking? Effort? Wasn't he diligent during his time at the Demon King Academy? Such things might fool goblins, but surely you don't believe that yourself, do you?"

"Soul Level..." Kamu struggled to say, "But... there are many ways to enhance soul level, and it's not necessarily about dabbling in the divine realm; there are also some forbidden secret techniques—"

"You mean the Soul Fusion Ceremony in Undead type magic, don't you?" Zakro chuckled softly, "All undead mages who choose this path without exception become Witch Demons, and eventually go insane. Does he seem like a Witch Demon, or insane?"

Kamu's heart skipped sharply.

This is indeed too unusual!

What surprised him most wasn't the rapid advancement of Luo Yan's Extraordinary Power, but Luo Yan suddenly mastering the Magic Crystal Cannon technology after a trip to the Maze in Thunder County.

That's Ancient Era technology, not some mushroom in the maze that he's found easily?

And when his brother Xino Dragon dueled him, everything seemed fine, yet the moment he landed in the Maze, Chaos set its sights on him?

This is all too wrong!

But if he links it to his father's research, Kamu instantly understands all these unusual circumstances.

It's actually not that difficult to comprehend.

What Extraordinary Power can't achieve, a certain power can easily...

That's the miraculous power wielded by the Divine!

"You mean... what Luo Yan gave us is actually just a part? A smoke bomb to numb us?" Kamu swallowed hard, nervously looking at his grandfather, fists slightly clenched, "And my father... has actually found the path to deification?"

"That's the most reasonable explanation; the current Bayele is ruling as a Demon King. The Demon King's power has indeed been severely underestimated, though it's the need of Hell and historically inevitable, you cannot allow yourself to be deceived by such things."
