Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Chapter 107: Incident

In the mysterious ruins.

Upon hearing High Tower Soul's response, Enzo also began to inquire without hesitation.

He posed all his perplexities about supernatural powers that had troubled him during this time, and High Tower Soul answered them all thoroughly, providing detailed explanations that deepened Enzo's understanding of supernatural forces.

However, it seemed Enzo's questioning went too far.

High Tower Soul became somewhat displeased, stating, "Regardless, you have slain Zona, violated the rules of the High Tower Space, and now you must stay here and not leave!"

With those words, High Tower Soul disappeared abruptly.

He denied Enzo any further opportunity to ask questions.

After High Tower Soul departed, Enzo regained his composure soon. He began to wander through the ruins, searching for some useful clues about the High Tower.

But his efforts were in vain.

He found no leads and encountered no other beings.

The ruins that High Tower Soul had led him into were vast beyond measure, seemingly endless and incredibly lonely. Apart from the massive stones within the ruins, the only visible presence was the moon overhead, softly glowing.

Enzo looked up at the moon in the sky, lost in thought.

...

On the other side.

Plata Plain.

The figures of Christina and her group suddenly appeared amidst the reeds, which was the same place where they had been sucked into the High Tower Space before. They looked around at the vibrant surroundings, feeling an unprecedented sense of familiarity. They cheered and laughed, and even the slaves did the same.

After all, everyone desired to live.

At the same time , Roman and Fierro walked towards Christina and asked, "Boss, where are we heading next?"

Christina didn't hesitate and replied directly, "Let us go to the jungle!"

The two nodded in agreement. For now, that was their path forward.

So, the group set off towards the jungle. As they approached, they encountered members of the Crimson Star Tribe's outpost patrol. After gathering information, these patrol members quickly informed Amy and the others.

Soon after, Christina and her group were escorted into the tribal camp of the Crimson Star Tribe.

As soon as Christina and her group entered the tribal camp, everyone was shocked. Before their arriving, they had imagined what the Crimson Star Tribe would look like, although Douglas had once said that the Crimson Star Tribe had extremely flat red houses. But Christina and others believed that it was just some houses built with red stones, which is not surprising any more.

However, what they saw surpassed their expectations. They felt their ideas completely wrong.

The red houses were meticulously crafted, seamlessly connected, and appeared highly organized. Even the paths leading to the red houses were cleared and so flat... This was a sight Christina's group had never seen before, and the surviving slaves breathed a sigh of relief.

Being slaves in such a prosperous tribe meant they could survive.

"What is that?" Roman suddenly pointed to a massive building and asked. Hanging above the entrance was a sign that read "Adventurer's Association."

Adventurer's Association?

What could that mean in the world?

Everyone is puzzled. They grew even more curious about the Crimson Star Tribe's mysteries.

At that moment, Douglas's urgent shout rang out, "Boss Christina, Fierro, Roman, and Richard, you've finally returned!"

Seeing Douglas again, the group was equally excited.

Douglas recounted the events of the past few days and his plea for Enzo's assistance.

However, when Enzo's name was mentioned, Christina's expression darkened. She turned to Douglas and asked, "Douglas, who is currently in charge of the Crimson Star Tribe? Regarding the Priest Enzo, something might have happened in the High Tower Space. I need to inform the tribe's leaders of the Crimson Star Tribe ."

Something happened?

Hearing Christina's words, Douglas's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly led Christina and her group to find Amy, explaining that there was news concerning Enzo to report.

Meanwhile, Amy was in discussion with Ward and others on how to accommodate Christina's group within the Crimson Star Tribe.

Based on the current scale of the Crimson Star Tribe, even if Christina and others join the tribe, it would not have any impact on the tribe.

However, the manners were their integration and their roles to join in the Crimson Star Tribe ...

These were crucial matters.

Within the current structure of the Crimson Star Tribe, with the establishment of the Adventurer's Association and various rules for adventurers.

Certain norms had developed in the Crimson Star Tribe .

There were noticeable divisions among ordinary people, traveling merchants, and adventurers, each following distinct development paths that formed the tribe's current order.

Ordinary people typically engaged in simple, repetitive tasks.

They did the works such as mining, logging, ore smelting, pottery making, ironware forging, crop farming, and hunting jungle creatures to earn silver coins and improve their lives.

Moreover, the Adventurer's Association had effectively phased out many of these repetitive tasks.

Currently, ordinary members of the tribe can work at factories, farms, and ranches set up by other members to earn silver coins.

These establishments were run by traveling merchants within the tribe.

The development of the tribe, especially the Crimson Star Tribe, could not be achieved without Enzo's strong promotion, nor could it be achieved without the joint efforts of the tribe members.

To further stimulate their efforts, profit sharing has been implemented.

Following Enzo's proposal, the tribe's management approved plans for individual factories and shops, exciting many enterprising tribe members.

They were passionate about earning money.

Those who remain are pure adventurers.

They dedicated to enhancing their skills and undertaking tasks from the Adventurer's Association for rewards and training.

They firmly believe that supernatural pursuits will soon become mainstream.

Led by the Gene Squad, these adventurers enjoy hunting supernatural creatures.

Although they no longer venture deep into the Plata Plain where such creatures gather, especially during the harsh winter. Instead, they gather to study supernatural knowledge borrowed from the Adventurer's Association in the jungle.

Some have even managed to create crude supernatural potions.

That was albeit with unintended consequences such as the deaths of several beasts.

Upon learning of these developments, Amy chose not to intervene.

The development of anything often comes with a cost.

On this side, Amy and her companions received Christina's group in the tribal council hall.

Upon seeing Amy, Christina shared what she had learned: "Before leaving the High Tower Space, I overheard discussions. Enzo and Zona had a conflict, and Enzo killed Zona. Zona was a candidate priest of the Golden Lion Tribe. Fighting is prohibited in the High Tower Space, and Enzo was taken away by High Tower Soul. After that, we were inexplicably sent out."

Christina's account was somewhat disjointed, but Amy understood her meaning.

She quickly asked, "Did Lord Enzo instruct you about anything before you left?"

Christina shook her head.

Enzo hadn't given any instructions. Could something have happened to him?

Amy felt uneasy. She casually instructed Ward to accommodate Christina's group and hurried back to Enzo's residence. Retrieving the scepter of the barren mountain, she then headed straight for the ritual square.

Once in the priest's square, she wasted no time in utilizing the scepter's power.

Enzo had prepared this contingency when they entered the High Tower Space, and now it was proving invaluable.

Forged by the Barren Mountain Tribe, the scepter might not match the might of the High Tower, but it was still potent. As Amy wielded the scepter of the barren mountain, she sensed an immensely powerful spiritual force, seemingly trapped in an uninhabited place.

Anxiously, Amy called out, "Lord Enzo!"

Meanwhile, in the mysterious ruins of the High Tower Space, Enzo contemplated his options.

He had a plan in mind, but he was reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary. The method carried significant risks and uncertainties that made him hesitant to act preemptively.

Enzo heard Amy's call.

He was somewhat surprised, but quickly understood the situation. He instructed directly, "Amy, relax your consciousness. I need to borrow your body for a moment."

"Huh?"

Amy was momentarily taken aback, but she knew she would comply with Enzo's command no matter what.

She relaxed her mind.

Soon after, she felt a powerful will entering her consciousness, so potent that even some of her most secretive thoughts, including vivid fantasies about Enzo during idle moments, were perceived by Enzo.

Now, Enzo knew these hidden desires.

Enzo hadn't expected that seemingly gentle Amy would harbor so many thoughts.

However, this wasn't the time to dwell on that.

With time pressing, Enzo reassured her, "It's okay, Amy. There's no need to be embarrassed. This is our little secret."

Amy nodded in acknowledgment.

Then, she felt herself losing control of her body as Enzo's consciousness took over.

For both of them, it was a peculiar experience.

Enzo's ability to control Amy's body stemmed from teachings by Freya. His enhanced mental perception, gained from facing the Shadow Wolves and further developed during his capture by High Tower Soul into the mysterious ruins, had significantly advanced his skills in mental manipulation.

Now, Enzo had gained a form of mental freedom.

High Tower Soul remained unaware of this development.
