It's not surprising that Andasu is here, as his titles indicate he is originally the airship pilot of the Platinum King.
Since he wasn't wearing a mask at that moment, Li Ang didn't recognize him at first glance.
The standout feature was his ivory-like white hair, and within the pale golden irises of his eyes, there was a ring of blade-like patterns encircling the pupils, reminiscent of a certain high-tier magical beast, leaving a strong impression.
After removing the mask, he appeared even more handsome, drawing invisible gazes from both men and women around him, and the low whispers partly discussing him, sufficed to prove his allure.
Andasu ignored everyone, carrying a large bag on his back, staring forward indifferently, awaiting an audience with the Platinum King.
Li Ang decided to choose a position near him.
He wanted to listen to what this person and the Platinum King would discuss, wondering whether he would complain to his boss after having a prior conflict with him here.
Li Ang hadn't felt intimidated by local lords from the Four Major Aerial Realms for a long time, having seen Andasu as someone reasonable and not bothering much. However, now with the Bailong Sect involved, if he indeed couldn't see reality clearly, it would be handy to identify the evident enemy and eliminate them later in one sweep.
Li Ang quietly approached the person standing behind Andasu in line. He didn't choose the closest position but opted for a pair two people apart.
He observed them for a while, and they didn't resemble the elites of Flashing Field, showing signs of being travel-worn, not speaking to others, only chatting with each other, thus not drawing attention.
At this moment, unable to wear the Divine Eye Helmet, he could only approach them and silently perceive their spirituality. After spending over a minute to understand, he deployed Spiritual Driving, blurring their moral discernment, sealing their ability to access memories and thoughts, and lowering their perception.
Li Ang approached to pat them: "You've worked hard, standing in line for so long, we've arrived."
"Ah? Oh."
"You go play outside, we'll pay our respects to the Platinum King."
The two hesitated briefly, feeling it might be true, they then left the line together, heading towards the fun area outside the corridor.
Li Ang offered apologies to those before and after, successfully cutting in line with Mort.
"A witch can have such abilities?" Mort, normally appearing unflappable, was now quite surprised.
"I'm at least Level 9."
Although Li Ang had always performed well by leveraging equipment and energy sources, there had always been those who felt Li Ang's professional skills didn't quite match Level 9 strength.
This was something he knew too, but as he explored more curse arts, he gradually became deserving of his reputation.
An elf cautiously left the throne room, as Andasu's turn came.
From this distance, both Li Ang and Mort's view cleared, allowing them to see the entire scene within the room.
Both had noticed earlier that the Platinum King was very cautious, and as soon as an audience member approached, the maidens would stop them ten meters away.
Li Ang glanced at the Platinum King's profile.
[Name: Antorus Sangrus]
[Race: Horned Race]
[Profession: Fighter, Tier 6 (-2)]
[Summoned Beast: None]

[Combat Power Amplification: -66%]
Thus far, it was his first time seeing a negative amplification.
This guy was quite formidable in his youth, but now his body has become nearly useless, even if he still retained the consciousness of Tier 6, the physical state only equated to Tier 4. With the amplification further decreased, he could barely take on someone at Tier 3, and would exhaust himself even if he managed to win.
With such a bodily condition, it's no wonder he's being extra cautious.
However, his maidens were no ordinary people either, most having about Tier 3 power, though with very low combat power amplification—they were specially trained, not true warriors.
Beside the Platinum King Antorus' chair, a man was casually reclining on the auxiliary seat, fully bearded with long brown hair, a roguish smile on his face,
This person could sit fully armed by his side.
"Oh?" Mort whispered: "This person has an unusual relationship with the Platinum King."

"Look at that cloak, it's clearly a standard configuration of the Order Corps." Li Ang pointed.
"Then this person is the captain of the Sandstorm Corps on this island, evidently having joined forces with the Platinum King."
Mort suggested: "It would be easy to alert them by barging in, should we retreat first and ambush this person later?"
Li Ang nodded: "That's doable, but I want to eavesdrop on what they say first."
Andasu walked into the room and knelt on one knee not far from the Platinum King, able to approach this lord as well.
"This person's relationship with the Platinum King is also very close," Mort commented.
