A plea from the Silverwing War God! A call from the Sea of Annihilation!
Qin Pojun's smile vanished, and he watched the approaching Agatha warily.
Although this woman had ultimately declared Lin Yuan innocent, her previous official demeanor, intent on taking Lin Yuan away for trial, still made him very uncomfortable.
"chief justice Agatha, what further instruction do you have?"
His tone carried a hint of rudeness.
Agatha ignored him, walking three steps in front of Lin Yuan before stopping.
Her crisp, pure white military uniform was particularly conspicuous in the empty hall.
"I apologize to Your Excellency for my previous recklessness."
She bowed slightly, her movements meticulous, but her attitude was unexpectedly sincere.
This, in turn, stunned Qin Pojun, who had been preparing to watch the show.
When had Agatha, the silver wing god of war, ever bowed her head to anyone?
Lin Yuan, however, showed no reaction, merely looking at her calmly.
"Something the matter?"
Agatha raised her head, and for the first time, the coldness that kept people a thousand miles away faded from her ice-blue eyes.
It was replaced by an extremely complex emotion, mixed with struggle, hope, and determination.
"I have a private request."
Her voice was kept very low, clearly not wanting Qin Pojun in the distance to hear.
"I hope that Your Excellency can go to a place and help me find someone."
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Find someone?"
"Yes."
Agatha tapped her fingertip lightly in the Void Realm before her.
A three-dimensional star map unfolded between her and Lin Yuan.
A corner of the star map was enveloped by a black energy vortex that continuously spun and devoured the surrounding light.
Next to the vortex, three ancient characters were marked.
[Sea of Annihilation]
"This is one of the most dangerous Forbidden Lands in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, the Sea of Annihilation."
Agatha's voice carried a hint of heaviness.
When Qin Pojun heard those words from afar, his expression also changed.
Of course, he had heard of the Sea of Annihilation.
That place was even more sinister than Guixu.
"My sister, Avrora, ventured into that place alone three years ago, seeking an opportunity for Breakthrough."
A tremor appeared in Agatha's voice for the first time.
"To this day, there has been no news."
Lin Yuan understood.
That place might be a Forbidden Land to others, but for him, it was perhaps another "buffet."
Decomposing and annihilating all energy?
His Primordial Chaos Sword Aura loved this kind of thing the most.
"Why should I help you?"
Lin Yuan asked directly.
He wasn't a soft-hearted person, much less a hero.
Without sufficient benefits, he wouldn't waste his time.
Agatha seemed to have anticipated this question.
She took a deep breath, her ice-blue eyes fixed tightly on Lin Yuan.
"I can grant Your Excellency the highest authority within the Alliance Supreme Military Court."
"You will be able to access all classified intelligence regarding the major Restricted Areas, Forbidden Lands, and Super Ancient Civilization Ruins that have been sealed throughout the history of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."
She deliberately emphasized the last few words.
Clearly, she had guessed what Lin Yuan needed most from his previous actions.
A look of interest finally appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
This was indeed interesting.
"Furthermore..."
Agatha continued to raise the stakes.
"I, Agatha Romanov, will owe Your Excellency a favor."
"As long as it doesn't violate the highest interests of the Human Alliance, I can do anything for you."
A favor from a chief justice who held immense military power and authority.
This price was certainly not light.
"Deal."
Lin Yuan agreed readily and decisively.
For him, "feeding" was the same no matter where he went.
Since there was a ready-made guide and intelligence, why not?
Seeing Lin Yuan agree, Agatha's constantly tense body visibly relaxed.
A flash of unconcealed joy briefly crossed the depths of her ice-blue eyes.
Without further ado, she directly transmitted an extremely encrypted data stream to Lin Yuan's Personal Terminal.
It contained all known intelligence about the Sea of Annihilation, as well as her sister Avrora's life information features.
Lin Yuan received the data, immersed his consciousness in it, and quickly began to browse.
However.
Just as his consciousness swept over the star map coordinates representing the Sea of Annihilation.
His movements paused slightly.
The playful expression on his face slowly receded.
Because he discovered that those coordinates were extremely close to the coordinates of a "Ranch" marked by bloody light on the Metal Fragment he had obtained from the Lord of Guixu.
So close, in fact, that they were practically neighbors.
Lin Yuan raised his head and glanced at Agatha before him.
"How interesting."
He murmured softly to himself.
"It seems I absolutely must make this trip."
Lin Yuan's murmur was very quiet, yet it clearly reached Qin Pojun's ears nearby.
The ecstasy on Qin Pojun's face instantly froze.
He had just been overjoyed by the astronomical compensation of over two hundred billion and ecstatic about Lin Yuan's safe return.
Yet, before his butt had even warmed the seat, and before he could take a sip of tea.
He was leaving again?
And judging by the sound of it, he was going to the "Sea of Annihilation"—a place ten thousand times more terrifying than Guixu?!
"Your Excellency!"
Qin Pojun rushed up in a dash, disregarding all sense of hierarchy, his single eye wide open.
"You... what did you just say? Absolutely must go? Go where? The Sea of Annihilation?!"
His rapid-fire questions burst out like cannonballs, his voice distorted by agitation.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Without thinking, he flatly refused, his attitude resolute, "You just returned from Guixu! Dragon Country needs you, and the Demon Suppressing Pass needs you even more to hold the fort!"
Qin Pojun was sweating profusely with anxiety.
In his view, Lin Yuan was currently the Dragon Country's Stabilizing Force, the backbone of all the soldiers at the Demon Suppressing Pass.
If anything were to happen to him again, his own head would probably be unscrewed by the Command Department and used as a football.
Lin Yuan glanced at him, his expression unchanged.
"Having you at the Demon Suppressing Pass is enough."
He paused, then added.
"Besides, I need higher quality Firewood."
"Fi... Firewood?"
Qin Pojun didn't react immediately and froze in place.
Agatha, standing nearby, spoke up at the right moment, her voice still cool, yet carrying an unquestionable tone.
"General Qin, this is a private transaction between Your Excellency Lin Yuan and me."
"Although the Sea of Annihilation is dangerous, for Your Excellency, who possesses the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body, it might be a completely different scene."
Her words enlightened Qin Pojun.
That's right.
The Primordial Chaos Sacred Body!
If even the Lord of Guixu could be eaten as a snack, what did the Sea of Annihilation count as?
He realized he was simply Worried Sick and Confused.
Having figured this out, the anxious heart Qin Pojun held finally relaxed slightly.
But he still couldn't help but mutter softly.
"But isn't this a little too fast..."
