Chapter 472 472-Forced to Leave the Naga Tribe

After discussing and finalizing their plan, John and the Naga Queen began to execute it. 

John, along with Adam and Blue Sea, pretended to leave the Naga tribe. 

He then used a Teleport Spell to return to the Naga tribe's teleportation point. 

With the collaboration of the Naga tribe, apart from the Naga Queen and Shatras, no one else knew about John's return.

Adam and Blue Sea, as guild leaders of two major guilds and well-known figures among players, did not stay in the Naga tribe. 

Their prolonged absence would certainly draw attention from other players. 

Although ordinary players did not possess extensive information, the disappearance of Adam and Blue Sea for an extended period would inevitably lead to players exchanging information, potentially uncovering things John preferred to keep hidden.

John stayed hidden in the Naga tribe for two days, choosing not to act immediately as it would seem too obvious. 

During these two days of hiding, John was not inactive. 

He stayed near the Naga Queen's palace since the Naga nobles visited it daily. 

John believed that among these nobles, there must be members of the Mystery faction.

However, in these two days, he did not notice anyone suspicious in the Naga tribe. 

Most of the Naga nobles did not possess extraordinary strength. 

In fact, most Naga nobles were of relatively low levels, each inheriting their status from family traditions, meaning they didn't need to spend as much time enhancing their powers like other tribe members.

John felt his understanding of the Naga tribe was limited and decided to seek Shatras, intending to ask him for more information about the tribe.

"I still don't have an extensive understanding of your Naga tribe. To quickly find the hidden members of the Mystery faction within your tribe, I need more information."

Shatras was willing to help John, but he was concerned that John, as an adventurer, knew too many secrets of the Naga tribe, which might not be entirely beneficial for them. 

After pondering for a moment, Shatras asked John, "Can you tell me what specific information you already possess? I can then provide you with some books that will help you understand these details. As you may be aware, the history of our Naga tribe is very long. Many events have occurred over such a lengthy history, and it's unlikely you'd find useful information in so many books."

While Shatras politely declined John's initial request, he was indeed very willing to help, and his suggestion did not pose any issues for John.

"I don't need information from the distant past; I only need recent events and information about the relationships among members of your Naga tribe. I believe this information shouldn't be too sensitive for your tribe. If it is truly crucial, you can refuse my request. But that would mean I would need more time, and I might not be able to find enough clues to help your tribe resolve its biggest crisis before an attack occurs."

John's words eventually convinced Shatras. 

Shatras agreed to provide all the relevant information to John, although he had his own conditions.

"You can certainly have access to this information, but you must ensure that it remains confidential. You understand what I mean, right?" Shatras said.

John nodded, fully aware of the importance of keeping the information about the Naga tribe confidential. 

The information was highly valuable, and he had no intention of sharing it even with close associates like Emma and SkyStars. 

Revealing such information could potentially endanger them. 

John was aware that he had many enemies lurking in the shadows, enemies who feared his strength and might target those close to him instead of confronting him directly.

"Of course, I understand. After reviewing the information, I will keep it confidential. Besides, leaking this information would not benefit me in any way," John assured.

Shatras nodded and didn't say much more. 

John then began to carefully review the information provided by Shatras. 

After a while, he discovered a clue he had previously overlooked. 

The Naga tribe, although appearing unified, was actually composed of several different factions.

Apart from those Naga who were fiercely loyal to the Queen, there were others who were less concerned about her rule. 

These Naga had come from other tribes. 

This meant that they could have already pledged allegiance to the Mystery faction, only lacking sufficient Mystery power to manifest because the Mystery saint had not yet initiated their resurrection process.

Realizing this, John decided to take immediate action. 

He planned to go directly to the areas where these Naga tribe members resided to conduct a thorough investigation.

Just as John was about to set out for his investigation, he suddenly received a message from Duke Arsena, requesting his immediate return to Storm City. 

Duke Arsena had obtained crucial information in Storm City that he needed to share with John in person, believing it too risky to discuss over communication channels.

John was surprised by this unexpected message from Duke Arsena. He had thought that no further clues could be found in Storm City. 

It was unexpected that just as he was making headway in the Naga tribe, Duke Arsena had seemingly uncovered an important lead.

After some hesitation, John decided to return to Storm City immediately, trusting Duke Arsena's reliability. 

He reasoned that if the information wasn't of great importance, Duke Arsena wouldn't have urgently summoned him back.

Using the Teleport Spell, John returned to Storm City. Upon arriving at the teleportation point, he was met by Duke Arsena.

"What is so urgent that you needed to see me right away? Do you know when the Mystery faction is planning to attack Storm City? Or have you found the hiding place of members of the Mystery faction?" 

John asked, surprised to see Duke Arsena waiting at the teleportation point. 

While Arsena had always shown great respect for John, waiting at the teleportation point seemed excessive.

"We can't discuss this matter here. There are too many people around, and we need to move to a more secure location as soon as possible," Duke Arsena suggested.

John nodded in agreement, seeing no issue with Arsena's caution. 

Discussing the matter there could risk being overheard by other NPCs or players.

"Then let's hurry back to your palace! I think your palace is the safest place in Storm City," John immediately suggested.

In his view, apart from Duke Arsena's palace, there were no other particularly safe places in Storm City. 

Previously, John had considered the Great Library to be very secure. 

However, after it suffered two attacks, he no longer believed the Library could guarantee safety. 

If the information Duke Arsena had was indeed crucial, it would be best to discuss it in the safety of Arsena's palace.

However, Duke Arsena did not agree with John's suggestion. 

With a slightly tense expression, Arsena said to John, "I believe my palace is also not safe anymore! We must go to Sunset Mountain, specifically to the Defend Wall there. It's absolutely secure!"

After saying this, Duke Arsena quickly led John into the teleportation array, and soon they were both transported to the Defend Wall at the edge of Sunset Mountain.
