At the same time that Volibear was brought into the manor, hundreds of meters above the manor, an eagle was circling in the sky, its eyes fixed on the convoy driving into the manor.
Thousands of meters away, in an ordinary house, a girl was closing her eyes tightly, seeming to be concentrating on meditation. This girl has a delicate appearance, and her facial features are not beautiful but can be considered exquisite.
, her skin is also very fair because she is rarely exposed to wind and sun. The light green waist dress shows off the girl's slender figure...
The reason why I say slender rather than beautiful is mainly because this girl's breasts are actually a bit shabby, maybe because she is still young, but overall she is still a striking beauty.
"Miss, another convoy has entered the target location. This time there seems to be a big white bear in the cargo. Well, it should be a bear man."
The girl's field of vision is connected to the eagle's eyes, and she is observing every move in the manor, connecting herself with the senses of the animals. This is a secret method that is very rare even in the entire continent. This girl is using this method that very few people can
She has mastered the secret technique, and listening to her words, it seems that this girl who can use such a rare skill is just a maid.
"Charlotte, how many times have I told you not to call me Miss, please call me Queen..."
"Okay, dear lady, if you are willing, can you focus on business? The convoy is about to enter."
"Okay, please report the number of people and the approximate cargo. I will remember it."
Athena Heinrich stared at her maid speechlessly. She didn't know why, but she, who had always been extremely intelligent, was always led by her maid. Was it because she doted on her too much? Or did they grow up together?
Too familiar? Anyway, Athena couldn't put on her usual eldest lady airs in front of Charlotte.
Speaking of Athena Heinrich, this girl is very famous in the Blazing Empire and even the entire Sanctuary. In addition to her equally famous father and extraordinary wisdom, her beautiful appearance is the reason why she has
The biggest reason for being so well-known is that although I don't like being famous for it, in her eyes, appearance can only be ranked second to ability at best.
This eldest lady, who is doing secretive surveillance activities with her maid Charlotte, has a stunning appearance. She can be said to be a complete beauty. Her long golden hair that reaches her waist is like the most expensive gold thread.
It is equally delicate, and looks very charming when matched with the delicate skin that is so white that it is almost transparent, and the facial features are as dignified and beautiful as if they were made with a ruler.
If you look carefully, you can find that her face seems to have a little childishness, but the light of wisdom shining in her eyes and the plump bust on her chest that almost breaks through the constraints of clothes make up for this, making Athena
She seems to be very mature, but in fact, she is only seventeen years old.
"But Miss, are you really not going to give up this operation? Let me make it clear first, I will definitely not approve of it."
"Ah, I know, it's strange that dad would agree. He can't agree to something that he can't do. If he had my courage and brains, Trenwell would already have everything under control.
.”
"But...but...but if you just want to attack an underground auction house, forget it, but Miss, is your goal too big?
You are preparing to take action against the most important base owned by the giant of the dark world. Even the master is afraid of him..."
"What are you afraid of...Charlotte, you still don't understand daddy very well."
Athena looked at her timid maid and said with hatred.
"The most powerful thing about this sinister man is pretending to be a grandson. On the surface, he is very afraid of the big mouse. In fact, he just wants to lure him out so that he can do something. But the big mouse never dares to stand on the stage in person, so everyone takes advantage of him.
No way, it’s not that he is really that powerful. Since the big shots all have their own concerns and cannot act at will, then there is only........."
Athena's eyes glowed with fighting intent. It was simply unimaginable that a young lady who looked so dignified and elegant could have such strong courage. She waved her hand vigorously, and her black dress embroidered with white lace seemed to be dancing.
Spread out.
"Then I have to personally pull him out of the darkness and let the world see how ridiculous it is to think that you can fool the whole world. One of the three controllers of the dark world, Trenwei
Your underground emperor, your masked emperor, your clown Jester!”
In this vast sacred world, there are many different forces, from the most basic and powerful national forces called the "Six Continental Countries" to the technology that controls nearly 30% of the entire continent's trade activities.
From the leader "Giant Chamber of Commerce" to the free city of Torses that always insists on neutrality and autonomy, as well as those strange races living in the endless ocean or deep mountains and old forests, it can be said that currently, there are no more people on the entire continent.
The division of forces is very clear.
For many years in modern times, most forces have tried their best to maintain a peaceful attitude and avoid violent conflicts with other forces. Since the great war that swept the entire continent one hundred and twenty years ago, even the so-called
The Blazing Empire, the strongest military country in the continent, has put away its edge and is no longer preparing to invade other countries with great enthusiasm. Everything seems so harmonious.
This is the reflection brought about by the war that almost destroyed the economy and civilization of the entire continent. One hundred and twenty years ago, the Quicksand Empire, which had reached its peak military development, could no longer bear to have the flaming flag always weighing down its head.
He angrily declared war on him because of his humiliation. Of course, the Emperor of Quicksand at that time must have never thought that this seemingly simple war would turn into something similar to a world war.
Logically speaking, this is just a matter between two countries and should not develop into a serious situation later. But strangely, this war has become more and more out of control. Even the two countries cannot contain the flames of war that quickly ignited the entire continent.
Almost all the powerful forces were involved, and many people joined the war involuntarily. This extremely chaotic situation actually lasted for ten years.
Compared with the war between armies, the duel between the masters of the two camps was the factor that had the greatest impact on the mainland. At that time, the battle that brought together almost all the famous figures in the world was like a natural disaster that wiped out everything around it.
This was a war without a winner. Both camps fought until they ran out of ammunition and food, and the people were in dire straits. Even if a peace treaty was signed in the end when the battle was hopeless, it was already too late. In which war?
The losses far exceeded the imaginations of both parties. No matter from which aspect, all indicators of the entire continent were set back by hundreds of years due to this war.
So after the war, almost all the forces began to enter a period of efforts to rebuild. However, even after 120 years, no force has been able to return to its heyday, which shows how intense the war was.
But during this period, when all the powerful forces entered the period of cultivation, three men who could be called heroes suddenly appeared. They used various illegal means, assassinations, underground transactions, and incited and created disputes to profit from it.
They used various methods to continuously expand their power. Since almost all major powers at that time had entered a critical period of reconstruction, they seized the opportunity and completed the transformation from an unknown person to a hegemon in just a few decades.
These three people are now equivalent to the uncrowned kings. People in this sacred realm call them the "Dark Three", namely "The Clown" Jester, "The Thug" Abtala, and "The Shadow Clan" Sakurasaki.
In the underground world of the entire Gaia continent, the three dark giants control more than 60% of illegal activities. Their power is intricate and huge. It is said that if the three of them can unite, their strength will even be enough to rival a top power.
Among them, Jester the Clown is the Emperor of Darkness who causes the most headaches for all major powers. Although the mercenary legions under the thugs and the Shadow Sect's instant assassins possess powerful destructive power and deterrence, they do harm to the entire continent.
In fact, it's not as serious as clowns at all.
Jester the Clown, his main job is... illegal trading, that is, selling illegal drugs, opening casinos and brothels, underground auction houses, money laundering, etc., in short, everything that can make huge profits
He does all the illegal business.
The most frightening thing is that Jester also has a very shrewd mind. He not only monopolized a large number of illegal businesses with his strong strength, but also invested a lot of black money in opening legitimate hotels, liquor and other facilities, and even building schools and hospitals.
Through these means, it continues to spread its power to every corner, which has become a huge cancer in the entire sanctuary.
As for Jester's own strength, no one can tell clearly. Some say he is weak, while others say he is strong. But in fact, very few people have seen Jester in person. This man is shrouded in
The only impression of the dark overlord in the fog is that of a clown with a weird smile.
Perhaps some people are right. Jester is not a human being at all. He is just a demon shrouded in mist. He comes from hell, and the sarcastic smile on his face is the road sign leading to hell.

"Really...it turns out this place has such a big background...it's over..."
Volibear squatted in the cage with his head in his hands. The explanation just now made him sweat. He would rather not know anything than be told how stupid he was after entering this "Jack's House".
The place we followed was actually a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Moreover, the dragon pit and tiger den that I have seen in the past seems to be too weak. To use a game metaphor, it is as if I have just entered the game to create a character. When I went out to level up at level 1, I found myself in the palace of the level 80 demon king, and there was no
If you can go back or load a save, any minion inside can kill him in one move.
"Hey, big stupid bear, you know you're scared. Didn't you look brave and fearless just now?"
A somewhat funny-looking uncle looked at Volibear's sweaty face with a teasing expression. He had just explained to the big stupid bear everything about the place it had come to. This...
...everything about Jack House.
Just half an hour ago, Volibear was sent by a convoy to a corner of a large manor, and then transported with the bear and cage to a large basement. Here, there seemed to be various items prepared for auction.
The products are packed to the brim. In addition to random and unfamiliar things from various countries on the mainland, there are also a considerable number of intelligent creatures like Volibear, the largest of which are of course humans.
Groups of people were transported to this basement. Except for a small number of strong adult men, the largest number were of course young and beautiful girls. No matter where they were, human trafficking was an indispensable part of the underground world. Among them,
Beautiful women are a very hot-selling commodity.
Volibear noticed that these people were not put into special cages like him, but were only tied with iron chains at their wrists and ankles, but they had no room to escape at all, because in this
In every corner of the basement, there were several fully armed men with long whips and swords hanging from their waists guarding them, and the entrance to the basement was guarded by an entire mercenary group.
For these "commodities", unless they suddenly put on red underwear and become supermen, there is no way to escape from this basement. Moreover, even if they get out of here, they basically have no chance of leaving this manor alive.
.
There are several half-humans or behemoths who are placed in special cages like Volibear, but they are all far away. For example, a highland giant who is much larger than Volibear is not only placed in a special cage.
He was trapped, and even strong-looking iron ropes were deliberately added to tie his hands and feet tightly, which shows that the people who transported him were afraid of this giant.
Although there are many people around, it is very quiet. It seems that no one wants to talk, and even more people seem to have no strength to move. This is Jack's House, a good place where you can feel "at home".
