This man was utterly untrustworthy, particularly after having once shown a willingness to abandon them after using them. Who could tell if he would lead them into a deadly trap, perhaps in a final act of desperation? However, Wu Qingsong scrutinized the ring closely. Its simple design, the densely inscribed cursive script, and the jackal skull decoration, it was unmistakably an artifact linked to necromancy. A deep yearning for power gnawed at his heart, compelling him to grasp at any potential…-

Eager to save his life, Aberni told them everything he knew. However, he was merely responsible for probing potential targets and luring them into traps within the sand bandit group. He was aware of the general situation, but details like where Sa Badel's treasure was hidden were beyond his rank. Sa Badel's gang primarily operated around the Graal Oasis, numbering nearly a hundred men. Half of them were sand bandits, while the other half engaged in legitimate business activities at the oasis, scouting…

With the hasty arrival of the elven mage who cast a spell, Yang Hao and his companions received real-time visual intelligence from the rangers on site. Undoubtedly, the ironclad ships docked in a naturally concealed harbor were indeed part of the Isugard ironclad fleet. The hulls bore the scars of battle, with even a metal breach sealed with wooden planks above the waterline. It was evidence of a brutal sea battle en route to the continent of Elusia. However, Yang Hao's attention wasn't on these…-

In the evening, after obtaining permission from Fen to investigate the Oak Tree Mine, Yang Hao inquired about the feasibility of reforming the conscription system and mobilization within elven society. "Conscription isn't an issue. Temporary training, at least to teach them discipline, isn't too difficult. But mobilization. What does that mean?" Fen was curious about the new term. Yang Hao explained that mobilization refers to the act of a nation rallying and deploying all its resources in…

'I'm grateful, but given our improved relationship, I'll overlook it this time. Go offline now,' Draxel mused internally, reaching out silently to the system. More than an hour later, they returned to their makeshift campsite, just as Count Haringoth was dispersing his troops, instructing them to rest. Draxel signaled for Safiya and the young dragon to retire first while he slowly approached Count Haringoth and initiated a conversation, "Count Haringoth, you were correct. That lady is exceptionally…-

‘Damn it, that damn Wolf King. It took both Safiya and me to bring it down, and yet it submits so easily to this woman?’ Draxel's curiosity was instantly piqued. "You all retreat to a safe area. I'm going to investigate this. Is this woman really that powerful?" "I've warned you already, brother. Be careful." Count Haringoth's expression was ashen as if the fall of Dark Castle was now a foregone conclusion, filled with despair. Seeing Draxel still determined, he slowly shared a well-known…

After supper, once Count Haringoth had sorted out his troops' nightly affairs, they both sat down in the same camp to seriously strategize for what was to come. Recalling Draxel's tendency to talk incessantly, his non-stop chatter could very well top the charts in any conversation. Anticipating this, the young dragon Lein promptly made his feelings known. "Roar! You have your chat, I've no interest in listening, I'm off to rest with mom, Safiya, Safiya!" "Alright, off you go. My cherished Princess…

Back at the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Xiao Yu again immersed himself in the case file, pushing aside all emotions to maintain a clear, analytical mind, crucial for rigorous deduction. As he delved deeper into the information and clues detailed in the file, his brain worked like an overdriven CPU, piecing together the increasingly clearer puzzle of the case. He identified three key doubts. Why did the victim go to the rooftop of the dormitory in the dead of night? If the two female…-

Xiao Yu was ravenous, eagerly devouring the shabu-shabu in large, satisfying bites. Mu Qingwu, on the other hand, daintily sipped a few mouthfuls of her clear soup and then paused, her interest seemingly captured more by the hot pot restaurant's complimentary drinks. "Enjoying the beverage?" Xiao Yu asked with a teasing grin. "I can tell, your gaze is brimming with a longing for poverty." Mu Qingwu, unamused, thought, ‘I really feel like punching him right now.’ "By the way," Xiao Yu…

Setting aside the case file, Xiao Yu took out his phone to check the time. It was 6:30 pm. By this time, the four trainee officers who had arrived with him had already left. Even his mentor, Guo Qiang, had invited him to join for dinner, but Xiao Yu had declined. He was in a race against time. The system had only allotted three days to solve the case, a dauntingly tight schedule. Having already experienced the remarkable capabilities the system provided, Xiao Yu was keenly…
