Sunshade immediately understood what Camp South Master meant. He's entrusting it to me because it would be inconvenient for him to do it himself.
He nodded without hesitation. “Don't worry, Master. I know what to do.”
Camp South Master replied, “Okay. Go on, then. I know I can rely on you.”
As Sunshade turned around to leave, he mumbled, as if talking to himself, “As far as I know, only by killing a thousand beasts can the primordial beasts be lured out. Killing a thousand beasts within five days shouldn't be a problem.”
He knew that his master was hinting at his order.
Camp South Master wants me to throw a thousand Heavenly Spirit Stones into Zeke's Centuria camp within five days to lure a thousand beasts out for him to kill. Once he kills a thousand beasts, it will lure out the primordial beasts. When the time comes, Zeke will undoubtedly be devoured by those primordial beasts, as they are way too ferocious.
Sunshade took more than twenty Heavenly Spirit Stones from the Camp Master's private treasury before rushing to the Centuria camp.
The treasury could only be opened by Camp South Master and Sunshade, which showed how much the former trusted his subordinate.
Meanwhile, Zeke was forging divine weapons in Centuria's district as usual.
The weapon he was working on was about to take shape, but he could not succeed as he kept getting stuck at the last crucial step.
Zeke had no idea what was going on. Despite his best efforts, he still could not pass the final hurdle.
That divine weapon would at most become a low-grade Black Level weapon if he hurriedly finished the forging, which was a real shame.
One must know that he was aiming for a high-grade Black Level divine weapon from the very beginning.
Heat!
Just as he was in a dilemma, Fortuna, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and communicated with him telepathically.
The single word made Zeke even more confused. “What? Fortuna, what did you say?”
Heat!
“Why did you suddenly speak when you have been silent for so long?”
It's a long story. Theos Island has a natural oppressive force on me. As soon as you arrived here, I was so overcome by it that I fell into a deep slumber. I wasn't awakened until just now by a familiar power.
Zeke asked curiously, “Familiar power? What familiar power?”
Fortuna materialized and eyed Zeke up and down before its gaze landed on his chest. “That power comes from your chest.”
My chest?
After searching for a while, Zeke found a few Heavenly Spirit Stones in his chest area.
Before he could speak, Fortuna's eyes lit up. “That's it! There's no doubt that the energy released by these stones has a natural affinity for me, and it was what woke me up.”
Zeke looked at the Heavenly Spirit Stones in bewilderment. It's strange how this stone has an effect on Fortuna.
“Do you know this thing, Fortuna?”
Fortuna replied, “I have a little impression. It's just that I can't remember where I saw it.”
“Forget it. Let's not talk about this. You mentioned heat just now. What's up with that?”
“You may not believe it if I say it. Although I have no understanding of divine weapon forging techniques, something tells me that the reason for your failure is heat!”
Zeke burst out laughing when he heard that.
Even Ossa Dei chuckled coldly. “Stop uttering nonsense. How would you know that heat is the cause of Zeke's failure when you admitted yourself that you have no knowledge of divine weapon forging techniques?”
“I keep having the impression that I used to know a lot about forging divine weapons, but I have simply forgotten it, as it was a long time ago. While I was observing Zeke just now, my extensive experience helped me to instinctively recognize the issue,” Fortuna huffed.
