"That bald man is unreliable, he might already be under surveillance by Shadow Garden, and cooperating with him is too risky. I don't have anyone here to research Demon Possession, but Lord Loki should have many! I think cooperating with Lord Loki is a good choice!"
Loki looked at the neither humble nor arrogant Olba and fell into hesitation.
Zeta's recovery ability was almost on par with Diabolos the Demon.
Loki had never met the Three Heroes, but he had heard from the Second Seat that the Three Heroes all had very strong self-healing abilities.
As long as the injury was not fatal, they could generally heal themselves quickly.
"Alright, come in!"
Viscount Olba carried Zeta and walked in.
Zeta knew that The Order intended to hide.
Neither she nor Alpha would let The Order succeed.
The location of the Second Seat of the Round Table was already known.
And it was already known that the Sanctuary was within the Holy Church City.
The First Seat had completely hidden himself, leaving no trace to be found.
That meant they could only target this Third Seat.
Zeta did not report this operation to Alpha.
Zeta clearly felt that her strength had surpassed Alpha's, so reporting or not was no longer important.
She could handle everything.
Although Loki didn't quite trust Olba.
But the other party had come alone after all.
If he was still afraid of this and that, what right did he have to be the Third Seat of the Round Table Knight?
He was Loki.
The man who controlled half the world.
The northern kingdoms were all under his control.
(Most of the northern countries were vast and sparsely populated, with large territories but low population density.)
After entering, Olba glanced at the people around him.
And some instruments.
As a high-ranking member of The Order, he was well-informed and immediately spotted an instrument capable of transmitting information.
When the fight started, he would prioritize destroying that instrument.
Loki saw Olba looking around and didn't say much.
After all, coming to someone else's territory alone, it was natural to look around.
Olba and Loki exchanged glances.
Neither of them exchanged pleasantries.
They were both smart people; useless words were just a waste of time.
Language was a very hypocritical thing; hardly anyone liked to hear the truth, but they were annoyed when others spoke falsehoods.
Language was merely making complex things simple and simple things complex.
People always liked to hear what they wanted to hear, but they were unwilling to hear lies.
There was no need to say superfluous words at all.
Just do what needed to be done.
Loki clearly knew that the other party was only after profit.
It was nothing more than wanting to become the Fourth Seat of the Round Table Knight.
"As long as my research yields results, I will definitely promote you to the Fourth Seat!" Loki said solemnly.
"Then I thank Lord Loki in advance!"
Loki looked at Olba; the other party spoke respectfully but was neither humble nor arrogant.
He was different from everyone he usually met.
But he disliked people who were neither humble nor arrogant.
Loki had already made up his mind to eliminate Olba at the next opportunity.
He always felt that this man would threaten his life in the future.
At this moment, Zeta suddenly broke free from the ancient relic's magic-sealing chains.
A claw of magic power condensed in her hand, and she directly lunged at Loki.
Loki quickly retreated.
He dodged the attack.
"How can this be? That's an ancient relic, a magic-sealing chain!" Olba shouted.
Loki, who had originally suspected Olba, immediately dismissed his suspicions.
"Shadow Garden is truly despicable, using themselves as bait! All just to infiltrate here!"
Loki waved his hand, and a silver-white magic sword appeared in his hand.
This was a magic sword forged from ten-thousand-year-old cold demonic iron from the extreme north.
The blade's temperature was -100 degrees.
Loki had no fear of Zeta.
"Since you've come, then stay here forever!"
Loki erupted with powerful and terrifying magic power.
The surrounding experimenters quickly fled.
And Olba had already disappeared.
"Damn Olba, he was the first to run at a time like this. No wonder he always managed to escape from Shadow Garden. He's truly mastered the art of escape."
Loki cursed Olba internally.
Meanwhile, Olba was just a wall away from Loki.
All the fleeing people were stopped by Olba.
He punched them again and again, killing all of them.
Olba did not intend to let any member of The Order leave here alive.
At this moment, Loki continuously attacked Zeta.
Zeta merely dodged.
The opponent's magic sword was very dangerous.
If she took a hit, her body would be frozen.
Unless absolutely necessary, Zeta would not confront the opponent head-on.
Zeta's constant dodging angered Loki.
"Do you only know how to dodge? Is that all you've got? I remember you're from the Golden Leopard Clan, right? Someone named… told me about the Golden Leopard Clan's annihilation before!"
Loki's words ignited Zeta's fury.
Petos was the man Loki was referring to.
Petos was not dead yet.
However, he was living a life worse than death.
He had tried to commit suicide countless times, only to find he couldn't.
He was now imprisoned in a deep dark space underground.
In complete darkness, he felt no time or space; he didn't know if he was still alive.
Chains bound him, preventing him from leaving.
From beginning to end, his vision was completely black.
No one spoke to him, and there was no sound whatsoever.
This was a form of torture.
Torture of the mind.
When a person's five senses perceive nothing.
It is no different from having lost one's five senses.
Cannot see, cannot hear, cannot touch, cannot smell, cannot taste.
Though alive, it was more painful than death.
Petos would rather Zeta torment him every day than continue to stay like this.
Zeta had once tried to stay in such an environment for ten days.
It was tormenting.
That was why such an arrangement was made for Petos.
