Chapter 867: Chapter 571: New Information and "Star Core

Moonlight crouched beside Raylo, his pale gold vertical pupils overlooking the earth below.

"The territory of the Violet Empire is even larger than I imagined," Raylo marveled, looking at the endless expanse of cities and the web-like network of roads below.

"Naturally." Austin Sage sat up and pointed ahead. "Just ahead is the heartland of the Violet Empire. Although this place has a few too many religious charlatans, I have to admit, it’s absolutely rolling in riches when it comes to resources."

Raylo did not reply. Instead, he focused his attention on the newly generated system intelligence for the day. Since arriving in the Saint Violet Empire, the vast majority of the system’s reports had been related to this nation.

[1. Red-robed Archbishop Sario has been very distressed recently. A mistress he keeps on the side is pregnant, but he has already lost his fertility. He is considering whether to burn that mistress at the stake as a heretic, along with her "miracle" of a child.]

[2. At the cathedral in Hongyu City, located in the southern part of the empire, Red-robed Bishop Sorel visits the basement every night at midnight. He isn’t praying, but rather doting on a succubus he secretly keeps. The succubus wears a key around her neck that can open the secret vault beneath the cathedral.]

[3. In an ancient ruin deep within the Sunset Forest, a World Destruction Level Abyssal Demon King from the ancient era is sealed. Recently, the seal loosened by a crack, allowing quite a few Low Tier Demons to escape.]

[4. The illegitimate son of the Empire Prime Minister lost three million Gold Coins at a casino yesterday. To pay off his debts, he plans to secretly sell off a batch of Potions originally intended for the frontline army.]

[5. Saintess Angelica has been in a bad mood recently because she discovered her Holy Light Unicorn is pregnant, and the culprit is a wild horse from who knows where.]

[6. The empire’s famous Tulip Commerce Association will hold an underground auction in Red Maple City next week. The finale item is an unhatched Phoenix Egg.]

[7. The Iron Thorns Legion is amassing at the edge of the Sunset Forest under the guise of suppressing bandits, but in reality, they are escorting a batch of secretly transported "special cargo." This secret cargo is a captured Catastrophe Level Blue Dragon, which will be transported to the Holy City to serve as a test subject for the Dragon Plague Potion. In three days, this "special cargo" will be transported out of the Sunset Forest.]

[8. The wife of the Violet Empire’s Minister of Finance is actually a spy sent by the Red Dragon Empire. However, she has discovered that she has truly fallen in love with the Minister of Finance’s... son.]

[9. On the third underground floor of the Cathedral of Light in Chenxi City, the capital of Sunset Province, a Star Core plundered from an Other Plane is enshrined. It serves as the core energy source to maintain the defensive array of the entire city.]

[10. An Abyssal succubus disguised herself as a nun and infiltrated the monastery in Chenxi City. She is slowly draining the life essence of the abbess, who believes it to be a blessing from God.]

High-altitude astral winds cut like knives, but they were blocked by the thunderbolts wrapping around Lightning’s body.

A playful smirk curled on Raylo’s lips. Beneath the "Holy Light" of this Violet Empire hid filth far more fascinating than anything found in a sewer. An infertile Red-robed Archbishop with a pregnant mistress? A bishop who doted on a succubus every night?

"Tsk, tsk. How delightfully perverse," Raylo mocked inwardly. "These aren’t Clergy; they are clearly a pack of beasts wearing holy robes."

"Sage," Raylo suddenly spoke up. "Have you ever heard of a ’Star Core’?"

Austin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them, a flash of surprise passing through his gaze. "Where did you hear about that?"

Sitting up straight, Austin gave him a deep look and slowly explained, "That is no ordinary object. Only when a Constant Star Level celestial body collapses to its absolute limit during destruction can it possibly birth a Star Core. It contains the purest Origin Energy of an entire planet."

The old sage pointed at the sky, a tone of reminiscence in his voice. "Do you know why Mage City can eternally float in the void, possessing endless Magic Power? It’s precisely because Mage City’s Power Source is a Star Core. It is one that I was lucky enough to obtain in my youth, after wandering the Endless Void for three hundred years."

Raylo drew a sharp breath. Mage City’s Power Source? That was the holy land for every Mage on the Continent! The value of such an item was probably greater than ten Black Stone Territories combined!

"Why? For you to suddenly ask about this, could it be..." Austin looked at Raylo with a half-smile, implying a deeper meaning. "Has your ’Foreknowledge’ talent shown you something good again?"

Raylo didn’t hold back, nodding directly. "I ’saw’ it. It’s right in Chenxi City, the capital of Sunset Province, which we are about to pass through. Hidden beneath the Cathedral of Light there is a Star Core."

"Oh?" Austin raised an eyebrow before a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "Those charlatans of the Light Holy See actually placed a strategic-level treasure like this in a provincial church? What a colossal waste of a heavenly treasure!"

Raylo continued, "Not only that, but I also ’saw’ a few other things. For example, the bishop of Hongyu City is keeping a succubus who holds the key to his vault. Also, in three days, a captured Catastrophe Level Blue Dragon will be transported out of the Sunset Forest..."

He poured out all the valuable information from the intelligence reports in one go, framing it all as his "prophecies."

Austin listened in stunned silence before finally bursting into roaring laughter, clapping Raylo on the shoulder. "Good lad! This talent of yours is practically made for robbery... I mean, for ’academic field research’! Since it’s on the way, we’ll head over to Chenxi City first, then drop by Hongyu City, and finally go pick up that poor Little Blue Dragon."
