Therefore, Sonam has not left the Underground City in recent years, focusing solely on research and Meditation Cultivation.

Only after long intervals does he leave the Royal Palace to wander elsewhere in the Underground City.

When he does go out, he only visits the upper layers of the Underground City, never going to the lower layers where the slaves live. Thus, he knows nothing about what the goblin managers have done to the slaves and has never participated in any of it.

Of course, even if he did know, perhaps he wouldn't care.

However, as long as Sonam hasn't been involved in those affairs and holds sufficient value, Fang Ka could tolerate him, provided that Fang Ka can completely control him.

This matter is precisely about that.

Fang Ka glanced at Sonam, "Enough with the useless chatter, I have no patience for idle talk. Let's get straight to the point."

"You must be quite curious how I found out about the Magic Crystal Vein.

"It's simple, I have a spell that can read your memory, and if you want to survive, it's equally simple. Stay in the place I've arranged for you, no entry or exit allowed. Every day, complete the tasks I assign to you, and undergo a weekly memory reading."

Fang Ka intends to assign the house near the beach in Merfolk Town for Sonam to live in, where he can research the Alchemy Domain and also produce some necessary Magic Potions for him.

That house is separated by a distance from the other houses in Merfolk Town, located at the edge of the sea.

This was originally built specifically for Xia Lin, intended to be given to her upon reaching adulthood, but Fang Ka plans to have her live in his castle upon her coming of age.

The castle he has was originally where Kain and he lived together, thus it has two bedrooms.

One on the ground floor, one on the second floor.

After Kain died, he moved into Kain's room on the ground floor, as it was more convenient for accessing the Underground Library.

Once Xia Lin comes of age, she can move into the bedroom where he originally lived, so he can teach her Alchemy Knowledge anytime and have her assist him with work conveniently.

Thus, the house by the sea in Merfolk Town can be given to Sonam to live in because the location of this house is very favorable.

If Sonam moves in, both Xia Lin and Noel, who are located near the sea, can monitor Sonam at any time.

Ensuring he cannot leave the house without Fang Ka's permission.

Additionally, by using the 'Dark Curse' to read Sonam's memories once a week, it can ensure Sonam can't play any tricks and is forced to stay confined, conducting research for Fang Ka, all while doing unpaid work.

Upon hearing Fang Ka's words, Sonam was stunned.

Ask anyone who would want their memories read by another? That would mean having absolutely no privacy, exposing all secrets completely to others.

However, shortly after, Sonam came to his senses, with a helpless bitter smile appearing on his face.

Regardless of his willingness, he really has no choice now.

Either choose death or accept the opponent's demands.

Sonam is not fearless in the face of death; on the contrary, he is quite afraid.

So, despite the excessive demand, he ultimately nodded with difficulty and respectfully responded to Fang Ka:

"Master Fang Ka, I agree to your request, there is no problem."

Seeing this, Fang Ka said nothing further, directly pointing towards the beachside house and then turning to Sonam.

"That will be your residence henceforth. I will have people deliver three meals a day to you. Without my permission, you are not to step out, understand my meaning?"

Sonam immediately nodded, indicating his understanding.

Fang Ka was very pleased with Sonam's perceptiveness.

He then gestured to Sonam to head to the house and confine himself there.

Sonam swallowed slightly, then stood up and walked towards the house.

After walking some distance, he glanced at Fang Ka through the corner of his eye.

He was quite certain that Fang Ka was not very old and that his Power Level was evident.

Yet, Fang Ka possessed a spell to read others' memories. To read one's memories, it would take at least High Tier Magic, right?

Given this age and Power Level, how could one create such a spell?

In addition, the respect shown to Fang Ka by the nearby merfolk High Tier Mage and the merfolk High Tier Knight led Sonam to speculate.

There is likely a fearsome Necromancer behind Fang Ka.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

Sonam couldn't help but smile bitterly again, not expecting that despite being cautious for so many years, he would fall here.

However, given how the situation has evolved, he has nothing to say and can only accept it.

Being able to continue living is actually a decent conclusion.

Soon he reached the solitary house by the sea.

This exquisite house, spanning three floors, offers over a hundred square meters on each floor, a veritable seaside villa.

Yet standing in front of the door, Sonam had no mood to appreciate the house's beauty.

As he knew, he would soon be like a bird in a cage, confined within this cage.

Would a bird care about the cage's beauty? Clearly not, a bird only desires to fly out and embrace the sky.

Yet evidently, the bird doesn't have that chance.

Sonam is no different.

He sighed gently and reached out his hand.

The door was not locked; he easily pushed it open and walked inside.

Inside the door, there was a wooden bolt capable of locking it from the inside.

But there was obviously no need.

After all, he currently has no secrets.

Moreover, he believes Fang Ka will surely instruct others on the Island not to approach this location lightly.

He gently closed the door behind him, proceeded to a wooden chair on the ground floor, and sat down, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Fang Ka was discussing matters concerning the Underground City with Xia Lin.

Fang Ka intends to dispatch players to excavate the Magic Crystal Vein, which would certainly involve distributing rewards to the players.

Only then would the players be motivated, inspired to give their all.

This method necessitates providing players with a fixed location for submitting tasks.

The Magic Arrays on his Island are currently all controlled within the Underground Library.

He is obviously unable to leave the Island at present, so after some deliberation, Fang Ka plans to move a Sub-Magic Array Carrier of the Eye of Darkness and a carrier of Dark Speech to the Underground City.

He will then place them at a designated location in the Underground City, assigning personnel to oversee them.

When players submit excavated Magic Crystals, they'll call out to the Dark Speech.

Thus, Fang Ka can remotely observe through the Eye of Darkness and promptly handle reward settlement for these players.
