Morgan initially wanted to smash the Martial Monk to death with a hammer, but Deluo stopped him. During the recent battle, the assassin kept slapping the warrior's face but never used a sharp object to cut Deluo's throat. "He clearly showed mercy," Deluo said. "Let's imprison him for now; we need to at least figure out the reason!" There was another reason he didn't mention: despite the significant difference in appearance, this Martial Monk bore a strong resemblance to a formidable opponent they'd encountered in the Underworld.

Thus, this Martial Monk was left under the care of the three beautiful women of the All-Knowing Tower. Both Eryies and Yilinrui possessed quite formidable magic abilities, especially the Elf Princess's insight, which was in no way inferior to Lynch the Mage. Even if the Martial Monk managed to escape from those two, Soka's Death Arrow was not something that could be easily avoided.

At the thought of these three beautiful women, Deluo instantly felt that the injuries on his face didn't hurt as much. Currently, everyone in the Five Realms Fortress—except for the Dwarves with completely different aesthetic standards and the Rock Spirits who didn't understand the beauty of gender at all—were all enamored with these three. Whether it was Soka's innocence or Eryies's fiery charm, or even the slight melancholy in Yilinrui's eyes when she was alone, they each had their own admirers. Adding a group that didn't wish to compare the appearances of the three ladies, the Five Realms Fortress naturally became bustling and lively.

To ensure the soldiers maintained enough combat effectiveness and cohesion, Wislin even had to issue an order prohibiting excessive discussions about the three ladies within the camp.

The situation didn't improve because of this order; on the contrary, it made them more enthusiastic about hosting seminars. It wasn't until the Elf Ranger Anna—now referred to as Wislin's prospective wife—spread a message through various channels that the situation began to calm down.

"Those three beauties, including another mysterious woman, are all under the protection of Lynch, the current head of the Mage Association. If anyone thinks they have even a slight chance, they can naturally continue to pass judgments on these ladies."

Not many people in the Five Realms Fortress didn't know about this Lynch, especially after witnessing his spectacular destruction of the entire Snake-man army. His name became synonymous with "strong and terrifying destroyer." Even if the visiting merchants weren't familiar with his name, the All-Knowing Tower now floating not far above the Five Realms Fortress was visually impressive enough to leave them in awe.

Especially since the current Archbishop of Pate Temple was planning to bestow an honor upon Lynch, accepting him as a special advisor to the entire Light Temple. Such news made its way to this remote corner of the Five Realms Fortress, making Lynch's name even more resounding.

Under "coercion" and "strict orders," soldiers could only chew on lamb, eat braised peas, and fresh oat bread, swallowing their various fantasies about those three beauties into their stomachs for a prolonged internal debate.

However, after this "rumor" spread, the three ladies surprisingly agreed unanimously, not raising any objections to this claim. Soka would blink and then clumsily change the subject; Yilinrui would act as if she hadn't heard, keeping completely silent. It was Eryies, on the other hand, who reacted intensely, giving a very dismissive look to anyone asking her about it, with a hint of doubting the questioner's intelligence, then saying, "Of course, do you even need to ask?"

Deluo rubbed his shoulder, gently brushing off the dirt that clung to it. But he knew in his heart that no matter how clean he got, his current appearance wouldn't allow him to easily meet new "companions." "Maybe I should go find Soka again and ask her to heal my face?" Deluo looked up at the clear blue sky and muttered to himself, "Forget it. Lynch isn't here, and I didn't take her to hunt the assassin either. I bet that little sister is still angry." Deluo shrugged his shoulders and abandoned the idea.

A dark shadow on the horizon grew closer, seemingly some creature flapping its wings directly towards the Five Realms Fortress. Deluo squinted, though with his swollen eyelids, it was more like he was closing his eyes. But just by staring at that thing for a brief moment, an inexplicable fear and sense of danger arose from within him. Before his eyes, he suddenly envisioned the giant dragon that tried to hunt him down, its sharp teeth and claws lunging towards his heart.
