There were no eyewitnesses to the massacre of the Joseph family, but according to those who arrived later at the scene, blood was everywhere throughout the family estate. Thousands of clan members’ bodies were piled up in a four-sided pyramid shape at a conference plaza—an unbelievably gruesome sight.
The young man in the green cap told Xu Wen that everyone who saw that scene vomited afterward; no one even dared to examine the corpses until Dean Harman of Qingyun Academy arrived...
But right after Dean Harman’s arrival, the attackers who struck the Joseph family appeared again! What followed was the well-known disappearance of Harman, along with hundreds of city guards and some adventurers.
More than a month later, the vast monster mountain range once held by the Joseph family erupted in an unprecedented beast uprising—a savage tide!
At least six-star monsters emerged from all directions, shaking the earth and sky, as if the end of the world had come!
Several nearby towns were massacred. In this city beneath our feet, the city guards suffered heavy casualties, countless adventurers fell, and innumerable civilians were caught in the chaos.
The brutal battle raged on until the second wave from Qingyun Academy arrived!
Kozev gathered a large number of adventurers and spent a long time driving the monsters back into the forest.
But suddenly, a group of undead appeared, luring Kozev deep into the monster mountains—until news arrived recently that the imperial capital was under siege by an undead army...
“Is that all?”
Seeing that none of the surrounding adventurers intended to speak, Xu Wen immediately pushed twenty gold coins toward the young man in the green cap.
“Any news about Dean Harman?”
The youth smiled slyly as he gathered the coins, winking mischievously: “Everyone knows those stories; anything beyond that comes at a price... But since you paid so quickly, I’ll share two pieces of information for free, though they’re not directly about Harman. You might not know, but the Adventurers’ Guild has posted huge bounties on Harman’s whereabouts. If I knew anything, I’d have sold it already.”
“...”
Xu Wen frowned slightly. For now, all he knew was that Harman likely disappeared during the Joseph family attack; that area was worth investigating. Other information held little interest for him.
Still, he was curious enough to listen.
The young man glanced around at the adventurers and said, “Judging by your age, you must be students from Qingyun Academy. You might find this interesting... Honestly, if I hadn’t guessed who you were, I’d have forgotten about it.”
“Tell us.”
Xu Wen’s heart stirred, a flicker of interest sparked within him.
“About a month after Harman vanished, a friend of mine found a scrap of torn cloth in a forest roughly ten miles from the Joseph estate...” The youth noticed the indifferent expressions of the adventurersI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
