Chapter 2761Chapter 2761 Delivering News
Maulwurf mused for a moment and shook his head. “No. He sees you as a threat. Moving to the Beast
District makes you an even bigger threat.”
Zeke nodded. “That's why he's going to stop us once he knows that we're moving. He's going to leave
some Spirit Stones along the trail so the beasts will come after us. Coincidentally, I still require a lot of
Spirit Stones.”
Realization struck Maulwurf. “Oh, good idea, Mr. Williams! So you're not actually moving to the Beast
District. You actually want Camp South Master to sabotage you so you can get more Spirit Stones.
Whether we set up base there isn't the main point.”
noveldramaZeke said, “It depends on the situation. If possible, I'd like to really set up base in the Beast District.”
Maulwurf gave him a thumbs up. “That's a good plan, Mr. Williams. I'll go tell Camp South Master that
we're moving right now.”
“Hold it,” Zeke said.
Maulwurf stopped in his tracks. “What else do you need, Mr. Williams?”
Zeke said, “He gave you a spirit pill, didn't he? If you absorbed all its power, you should be able to
become a Legatus.”
A look of embarrassment filled Maulwurf's face. “The chance of success is eighty percent.” “You haven't been improving much, so with your current power, Camp South Master might suspect
something.”
Maulwurf said, “I'll... see if I can come up with an excuse. But it's going to be risky. Still, I'll finish my job,
Mr. W—”
He was cut off mid-sentence by Zeke putting his hand on Maulwurf's shoulder and releasing a surge of
energy into Maulwurf's body.
Maulwurf felt a sliver of cold energy swimming into his body, and it was an odd feeling. At first, he felt
fear. “W-What are you doing, M-Mr. Williams?”
Zeke said, “Don't talk. Now follow my energy and cultivate.”
Hm? Mr. Williams is teaching me? By the elements, this is a rare opportunity indeed! Delighted,
Maulwurf did as he was told.
Ten minutes later, Zeke pulled his energy out, but a surge of energy kept swimming within Maulwurf,
and it was growing in size.
Maulwurf could control this energy easily. It was as if this surge of energy was his kin. Wait. This
energy... It was born within me. I can create energy now. That means... I'm a Legatus!
It hadn't been ten minutes, and already Maulwurf had powered up. Of course, he was delighted. His
dream was finally fulfilled. Tears glistened in his eyes as he knelt. “Thank you, Mr. Williams. I can't thank you enough.”
Zeke waved a hand dismissively. “It's all right. Go now. And be careful.”
“Yes, sir!” With that, Maulwurf left in a hurry.
His last sliver of rebellion was gone after Zeke helped him level up. Not only did he have a lot to gain
from working for Zeke, but the latter's teachings also helped him get stronger too.
On the other hand, working with Camp South Master for two years had gotten him nothing but a single
spirit pill. The difference between these two employers was staggering, to say the least.
It didn't take Maulwurf too long to return to Camp South. Upon meeting Camp South Master, he knelt
and reported, “Master, I bring important news.”
Impatiently, Camp South Master said, “Speak.”
“According to reliable sources, Zeke and his Centuria will be moving to the Beast District and
establishing a Camp.”
What? The news came as a shocker. “Are you sure your sources are reliable?”
