Rumble ~

The violent explosion from the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon" echoed on both sides of the cliff, startling many birds, which quickly flew away.

Splash ~

Large pieces of rock were blasted into the air like fireworks, some falling into the river at the bottom of the canyon, and some crashing onto the road that could only accommodate one carriage. For a moment, dust and gravel obscured Odis's vision.

The power of the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon" stunned the Extraordinary individuals of the "Rose School." They even thought for a moment that the Spirit Wave Cannon was also a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Odis injected his spirituality into the "Dream Bracelet," guarding his spiritual body and mental body. Then, he injected "Star Sand" into the "Gus Staff." Amidst the twinkling starlight, he simulated "Holy Light."

A pure white beam of light fell on Odis himself. The "Wraith" attached to Odis couldn't withstand the scorching beam and had to end the "Possession," hiding back into the cracks in the rock wall.

Odis immediately stopped maintaining the "Holy Light." At this time, his whole body was flushed red, like a steamed shrimp, and he was still somewhat mentally dazed. However, with the double protection of the "Dream Bracelet" and the "Scale Armor Scroll," he quickly recovered.

He quickly put the "Gus Staff" back on his waist and threw a "Gravity Scroll" towards the "Wraith" that was about to "Possess" him again.

This was a scroll that Odis developed through research on the black crystal obtained from Whale Island.

The "Wraith," which had no physical form and was as light as a soul, suddenly felt several times its usual gravity and fell straight into the steep bottom of the canyon.

At this time, another "Wraith," who had been kissing the rock and hadn't been awakened even by the explosion of the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon" or the rolling rocks, finally broke free from the influence of the "Aphrodisiac Scroll."

Just as he was preparing to observe the surrounding battlefield, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket suddenly struck him, turning him from a "Wraith" state into a physical state.

Odis didn't give him time to react, and one lightning bolt after another struck down, flashing like lightning, each flash a lightning bolt that could cause great damage.

After seven lightning strikes, this "Wraith" was charred. Although he hadn't died immediately, he had completely lost his vitality, and his Extraordinary characteristics began to precipitate.

At this time, the "Winner," who had just dared to appear after hiding in the spirit world to avoid the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon" shells, took a look at the battlefield situation and immediately raised the dagger in her hand. The falling rocks seemed to suddenly have life, smashing towards Odis.

All of that had happened very quickly. Odis had already broken free from the "Wraith's" "Possession" and killed another "Wraith."

Most of the rocks blasted down from the top of the mountain had just fallen to the middle of the canyon, so the "Winner" was able to use the Sealed Artifact to give them spirituality and life, allowing them to attack Odis like stone cannonballs.

Whoosh ~

Odis raised the "Staff of Disaster," and a hurricane carrying blue "wind blades" blew in, blowing these shooting rocks into the sky.

At the same time, there was a "poof poof poof" sound, and some of the larger rocks were cut into smaller pieces by the "wind blades" like cutting cheese.

Odis continuously poured his spirituality into the "Staff of Disaster" while throwing a "Misfortune Scroll" towards the "Winner."

His tactics were also carefully considered. For the "Rose School," the Extraordinary of the "Prisoner" pathway were the direct descendants.

However, the Grade 1 Sealed Artifact was not used by either of the two "Wraiths" at will, but by the "Winner." This led Odis to guess that it should be some of the "Winner's" characteristics that might avoid the negative effects of the Sealed Artifact.

And the "Winner's" main ability was to accumulate luck, so Odis guessed that using the Sealed Artifact required a certain amount of luck.

The "Misfortune Scroll" he threw had a certain probability of breaking the balance between "luck" and "misfortune" created by the "Winner."

Such attack methods were the advantage of the "Scroll Professor," who could maintain the ability of the Sealed Artifact while attacking the opponent with scrolls.

The moment the scroll exploded, the "Winner's" eyes narrowed. She felt a strong sense of crisis. The next moment, the dagger issued a vicious curse towards its holder.

Just as Odis had guessed, the negative effect of this dagger was that it would randomly curse the holder during use.

However, if one was lucky enough, the Sealed Artifact would be in a "dormant" state when the holder was using it, with about 3 minutes of safe use time.

Even if the Sealed Artifact "awakened" in advance, if one was lucky enough, the Sealed Artifact's curse would ignore the holder and instead target the people or things around the holder.

Originally, the "Winner" had accumulated enough luck to use this Sealed Artifact for a certain period of time. The "Misfortune Scroll" thrown by Odis consumed her previously accumulated luck too early, causing the Sealed Artifact to "awaken" in advance and issue a curse towards her.

But the first curse was dodged by her using the luck she had accumulated in advance. A tree not far away was cursed, quickly withering. The leaves fell like snowflakes, and the bark cracked dryly, instantly losing its life.

The "Winner" did not linger and prepared to enter the spirit world again to escape using the Grade 1 Sealed Artifact in her hand.

She knew very well that if she couldn't re-seal the Sealed Artifact in her hand as soon as possible, the damage it would cause to her would be no less than the damage caused by Odis.

Seeing that the other party intended to retreat, Odis immediately threw out a "Spirit Speech Scroll."

At the moment the scroll exploded, he glanced at the "Wraith" who had just fallen into the steep canyon. At this time, the effect of the "Gravity Scroll" had ended, and the other party didn't know that the "Winner" was about to withdraw, and was rushing back to the battlefield to help at the fastest speed.

But because there were not enough mirrors around, it would take another second or two to come back.

For Odis, this was a very good window of opportunity. He looked at the "Winner" on the top of the mountain again.

The next moment, the scroll exploded, and the "Winner's" spiritual body suddenly felt a certain impact.

Odis said in a solemn tone: "Drop the Sealed Artifact!"

The "Spirit Speech Scroll" was a scroll made by Odis using the "Murmur of the True Creator." Because only nine scrolls could be made in total, three had already been used before this.

This level of scroll also has an effect on demigods. Under normal circumstances, Odis was reluctant to use it.

But because the other party was holding a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, Odis used the scroll that he usually didn't want to use in order to prevent the other party from slipping away from the spirit world.

The effect of the "Spirit Speech Scroll" was also quite good. The "Winner" dropped the Sealed Artifact almost without thinking.

Then she seemed to belatedly realize that she had done something stupid. The area around the dagger-shaped Grade 1 Sealed Artifact turned dark red, and a stream of magma emerged, swallowing the Sealed Artifact.

This magma was of course created by Odis using the "Staff of Disaster." If there was a volcano nearby, this staff could directly trigger a small-scale volcanic eruption.

If there was no volcano, it could also generate a large amount of magma to attack enemies in places with rocks.

The "Winner" hesitated slightly when she saw this scene and immediately reached into the magma to look for the Sealed Artifact.

"Ah ~"

With a scream, the "Winner" withdrew her hand. The physical strength of the Extraordinary of the "Monster" pathway was far worse than that of the "Prisoner."

The "Winner's" hand was scalded with bloody flesh and could not bear the high temperature of the magma at all.

In the moment she hesitated slightly, the magma quickly increased, swallowing her two legs. Flames burned her clothes. Amidst the "Winner's" screams, Odis used magma to devour her.

And the "Wraith" who rushed back from the steep canyon had already reassessed the battlefield situation and immediately jumped back into the valley, preparing to escape.

But before he could land, he was blown into the sky by a hurricane, and blue wind blades dismembered this "Wraith" and blew him back to the road carved out high in the valley.

Then Odis gave the two "Living Corpses" a lightning bolt each, knocking them half-dead. Longze stepped forward and killed them.

This assassination operation was thus cleanly resolved.

However, Odis did not pick up the spoils immediately, but let the carriage that was still floating in the air return to the road and let Longze lead the team to pass through this dangerous road as soon as possible.

In the previous battle, several "Extraordinary Puppets" were also injured. They were carried by other "Extraordinary Puppets" and quickly left.

Several "Extraordinary Puppets" also carefully cleaned the battlefield under Odis's instructions, making sure to pick up all the weapons, even the gun parts that fell to the ground after being damaged were all taken away.

After the team set off again, Odis began to pick up the spoils. First, he came to the magma at the top of the mountain. The magma, which had turned dark red, suddenly began to churn again. The dagger-shaped Grade 1 Sealed Artifact was intact, and even a little cold.

Odis first put it into the "Knowledge Wilderness," and then used the "Staff of Disaster" to churn out the "Winner's" remains and characteristics.

The other four characteristics also began to precipitate. After Odis picked them up one after another, he blew the fragmented corpses on the road and many rubble into the steep canyon.

However, there were still some changes here compared to before. A large pit was blasted out at the top of the mountain, and the magma there began to cool down quickly.

Merchants who frequently travel this road would definitely be surprised by such changes.

When Audis caught up, the caravan had already left the treacherous road, and Ron Ze'er had arranged for the group to rest on a flat area.

Recently, Ron Ze'er had been very busy, not only temporarily acting as Audis's head butler, but also keeping an eye on the three suspicious clerks he had just recruited. Whenever he had time, he also tried to learn how to use the "Extraordinary Puppets" more efficiently, as well as the weapons they used.

However, after this period of effort, Ron Ze'er had basically become familiar with the "Extraordinary Puppets" and the performance and power of the extraordinary weapons that Audis had equipped them with.

Today, Audis was quite satisfied with Ron Ze'er's command. After learning that Ron Ze'er had purchased all the auxiliary materials for the "Sheriff" yesterday, Audis asked Ron Ze'er to calm down as much as possible and maintain a good state. During the midday break, he would prepare the "Sheriff" potion for him in advance.

Then, Audis took stock of the losses. In this battle, 9 "Extraordinary Puppets" were injured, two of which were seriously injured and had to be repaired.

They were basically smashed by falling rocks. Compared with those living corpses, their reaction speed was faster, and they could also use weapons flexibly, so those living corpses did not cause them much damage.

Of course, Audis was also very clear that this was the result of encountering a "Middle Sequence" Extraordinary. If he encountered a demigod, such as the "Puppeteer", they might be "turned against".

At this time, Audis was preparing to further improve the "Extraordinary Puppets", setting up a "one-button shutdown" function. Once a demigod seized the command of the "Extraordinary Puppets", Audis could instantly "shut down" them.

Moreover, Audis felt that this matter seemed urgent, because he felt that when he became a demigod, he would definitely encounter some opponents at the demigod level, and it would be too late to transform them at that time.

Audis was thinking about his thoughts and was about to get on the carriage when Ron Ze'er came to report again: "Another clerk died."

Audis didn't find this strange: "Which one died?"

"Corey." Ron Ze'er said: "He was killed by another female clerk, Roxanne."

"Roxanne said that Corey was the first to attack in the previous battle, and she had to fight back."

Audis was stunned for a moment. He had recruited a total of three clerks, two men and one woman, in Aissara. One of the clerks, Neil, had already been killed by Bernadette in the assassination in the early hours of yesterday.

Audis estimated that the other two clerks should also be spies from other organizations, but Roxanne's operation made it impossible for him to distinguish which of them was the "Rose School" spy for a while.

It is possible that Corey was a spy from the "Rose School". During the previous assassination, he accidentally exposed himself and was killed by Roxanne.

But it is also possible that Roxanne is, and she killed Corey just to cover up her identity as a spy from the "Rose School".

However, what is certain is that Roxanne is not an ordinary woman, or rather, Audis does not believe that a love affair would suddenly transform Roxanne into a killer.

After being stunned for a moment, Audis said: "Give Roxanne a bonus of 200 Sassens to commend her for her bravery."

200 Sassens is roughly equivalent to 40 pounds.

Ron Ze'er immediately understood that Audis was preparing to observe again. If Roxanne was a spy from the "Rose School", then what she is doing now is just for self-protection. She should run away as soon as she has the opportunity, and it will not be too late to intercept her then.

However, for Audis, the biggest role of these three spies is to make him clear about how many hostile extraordinary organizations, or extraordinary organizations that are interested in him, have learned that he is going to Vortai Prefecture to take office and have the strength to organize his assassination in a short period of time.

The answer obtained was three.

Now two have emerged, one is Fenebport's military, and the other is the "Rose School".

As for the third extraordinary organization that wants to kill him, Audis guessed that it should be the "Moss Ascetic Order" or the "Iron-Blooded Cross Society". The former is more likely, after all, he is very clear that several "pillars" are looking for him.

And Audis believes that he only killed a Sequence 6 of the "Iron-Blooded Cross Society", which is not a deep hatred, so he believes that the "Moss Ascetic Order" is more likely.

At this time, whether Roxanne is a spy from the "Moss Ascetic Order" is irrelevant to Audis, anyway, there is a high probability that he will be assassinated by the "Moss Ascetic Order" recently.

After dealing with Roxanne's matter, Audis got into the carriage and ordered to continue moving forward.

Bernadette, who had been sitting in the carriage, glanced at Audis: "You already have 3 Level 1 Sealed Artifacts, right?"

Only then did Audis recall that Bernadette was by his side when he obtained these three Level 1 Sealed Artifacts. He nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Bernadette "um"ed and said nothing more.

She just recalled that she also had Level 1 Sealed Artifacts when she was in Sequence 5, but those Sealed Artifacts were given by her father.

During the subsequent journey, Audis took advantage of the rest time to enter the "Knowledge Wilderness" and took a look at the Level 1 Sealed Artifact that he had just seized.

The negative effects were similar to what he had guessed before. He tried to seal it with the "Knowledge Wilderness", which made the Sealed Artifact "honest" a lot. Even if Audis didn't have enough luck, he could safely use this Sealed Artifact for 3 minutes.

As for the main abilities of the Sealed Artifact, there are two, one is to give inanimate objects spirituality and become the holder's puppet; the other is to emit a scream that can attack spirits.

After Audis named it "Puppet Dagger", he returned to the real world.

At noon that day, when everyone was eating and resting, Audis once again commended Roxanne in front of everyone.

Roxanne looked very excited, saying that she would definitely be loyal to Governor-General.

To be precise, she had to be excited. Now, in the entire team, Ron Ze'er and the "soldiers" are all subordinates of the Governor-General, and that beautiful lady is a friend of the Governor-General, leaving her as the only outsider.

Once there is such an opportunity to express loyalty, she must of course express it.

After lunch, Audis also fulfilled his promise and provided Ron Ze'er with the Extraordinary characteristics of the "Sheriff".

Similarly, just after drinking the potion, Ron Ze'er felt that the "Sheriff" potion had been completely digested.

In the two assassinations that Audis encountered before, Ron Ze'er didn't help much in the Fenebport incident, but Ron Ze'er performed well in the "Rose School" assassination encountered in the morning, and the accumulated merits were roughly equivalent to the sum of the "Arbitrator" and "Sheriff" Extraordinary characteristics.

A Sequence 5 can easily obtain "Low Sequence" merits in tasks.

Audis also promised: "You can collect the auxiliary materials for 'Interrogator'. As long as your condition allows, you can advance first and make up for the merits later."

Ron Ze'er smiled and said, "Okay."

Although they encountered an assassination in the morning, it did not affect their itinerary. That night, they arrived at a town with a hotel according to plan to rest.

At dinner, Audis and others noticed that almost everyone else in the restaurant was watching them.

These should be the spies sent by Vortai Prefecture. Audis didn't take it too seriously. He ate as he should and rested as he should.

That night, Audis and his party did not encounter any attacks, nor did anything strange happen. Audis rested well and continued on his way the next day.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, they finally arrived at Vortai City.

More than a dozen people were waiting at the edge of the city to welcome the new Governor-General. Ron Ze'er got off the carriage and asked, only to find out that these were all staff members of the state government, as well as a bishop of the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Audis got off the carriage and first chatted with Bishop Casey, who was in charge of preaching in Vortai Prefecture.

After chatting for a few words, Bishop Casey left on the grounds that he still had work to do.

Under normal circumstances, there has never been a reason for a bishop to welcome an administrative chief, but because Audis's situation was special, Archbishop Douglas repeatedly sent telegrams requesting Bishop Casey to fully support Audis's work in Vortai City.

So Bishop Casey came to welcome the new Governor-General. His appearance here is equivalent to showing the attitude of the Church of Knowledge.

After sending away Bishop, Audis asked the officials: "Is the state government still operating normally?"

"Yes." One of the state government officials, who was in his thirties and looked relatively amiable, replied: "The Autonomous Council has been helping the state government maintain normal operations."

Audis "oh"ed, indicating that he understood.

The other party's implication is: The Autonomous Council has been paying them wages during the time when there was no Governor-General.

So the current state government is already the state government of the Autonomous Council, not the state government of Rumburg.

Audis didn't seem to understand the other party's potential meaning and asked the official who had just answered: "What is your position?"

"Police Chief." The other party replied with a smile: "My name is Wells."

In the absence of a Governor-General, the Police Chief in charge of maintaining law and order is a relatively powerful figure in Vortai City.

While speaking, he glanced at the hundreds of soldiers Audis had brought, silently assessing the strength of the new Governor-General in his heart.

"Very good." Audis said: "Please introduce your colleagues."

The remaining officials include those in charge of finance, agriculture, commerce, etc., all of whom are the main officials who maintain the operation of the state government.

It's just that their administrative power is probably only within Vortai City. Most of the officials actually have no real power anymore.

Audiss said to Wales, "Take me to the state government."

Wales immediately said, "Please follow my carriage."

"No," Audiss said, "We'll walk."

Wales was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "It's quite a distance."

Audiss frowned, "I came all the way from Solotu City without saying anything."

Wales had no choice but to say, "Then... then okay."

Even though he was already working for the Autonomous Council, the Governor was still his direct superior in name.

This was why officials still came to welcome the new Governor after learning of his appointment. Although most of their positions were nominal, they guaranteed them a decent salary in Vortai State.

And the new Governor had the power to remove them from their positions, so they still had to show him respect.

Regarding this power of personnel appointment and removal, Audiss didn't say anything, but he was determined that if the power he established in the future reached a certain scale, the provincial level would appoint and remove the main state-level officials, and the Governor would only have the right to suggest.

However, for the current Audiss, such a system was not bad, as it could ensure that he had strong enough power in Vortai City.

Audiss walked ahead, strolling into the streets of the city. There were many pedestrians on the somewhat dilapidated streets. If you ignored the fear on their faces when they saw Wales, everything seemed normal here.

So Audiss smiled and said, "The security here is quite good. I thought there would be many gang members on the streets. You've worked hard, Director."

Wales smiled obsequiously, "Since I'm doing the work of maintaining security, of course I have to do my best."

Audiss nodded and suddenly asked, "Why didn't the members of the Autonomous Council come to welcome me?"

Wales paused for a moment before finding a reason, "Today... today the Autonomous Council has an important meeting."

In fact, they were discussing their attitude towards this new Governor. Originally, they planned to concentrate their forces to deal with this new Governor, and at worst, use assassination to scare him away, or kill him directly.

But after learning that Bishop Casey had personally gone to welcome him, the Autonomous Council's attitude was not so tough all of a sudden.

In the previous few years, no matter how the nobles and merchants took the opportunity to compete for interests, no matter how the bandit armies brutally ruled some areas of Vortai State, they did not dare to touch the interests of the church.

Because they knew very well that there was an agreement between the church and the government. Usually, the church would not interfere in secular affairs, but if the interests of the church were harmed, then the church would definitely take action.

These bandit armies and nobles knew very well that they were as weak as ants in front of the church.

Bishop Casey's welcome forced the members of the Autonomous Council to wonder if the new Governor was someone recommended by the church? If so, then assassination and other means could not be used.

So they urgently convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, Audiss heard Wales' answer and said, "Take me to the place where they are meeting."

Wales smiled awkwardly, "This... this is not very good."

As he spoke, he quickly winked at the officials behind him, signaling them to inform the members of the Autonomous Council.

Audiss then looked at Longzeer, who immediately understood and said to several "Extraordinary Puppets" holding semi-automatic rifles, "Load your weapons!"

In a neat "clatter" sound, several semi-automatic rifles were loaded together.

Audiss smiled and said, "Their marksmanship is very accurate. Within a hundred meters, if I want to kill someone, they can help me kill them."

The officials trembled, and no one dared to slip away.

Audiss looked at Wales again and said coldly, "Lead the way."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wales immediately realized that the new Governor was not an easy guy to mess with.

Under the supervision of Longzeer and others, the officials got into carriages and led the way for Audiss.

Soon, they came to a tall building. There were state guard sentries at the door, and members of the state guard were patrolling in the yard.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate. Audiss first made eye contact with the sentries before saying to Wales, "You go ahead."

Wales smiled bitterly, "The soldiers of the state guard won't let us in."

Audiss didn't say anything, but took the gun bag from Longzeer and tied the leather bag around his waist.

Wales had no choice but to step forward, but to his surprise, the sentries on guard seemed not to see them and let them in.

The soldiers patrolling in the yard also continued to patrol after taking a look at Audiss, and had no intention of stopping them.

This made Wales feel frightened: Could it be that these soldiers had been bought by the new Governor? When did this happen? Did the Jazz and others know?

In fact, Audiss was using "Hypnosis" on them when he made eye contact with them.

These people were basically ordinary people, with only a few "Low Sequence" Extraordinary individuals.

Audiss used the "Dream Bracelet" to complete the "Hypnosis" on them almost instantly, and in the next few minutes, they would ignore Audiss and others.

Audiss didn't plan to play political games with this group of people, but planned to directly crush them with strength.

If they wanted to use force, Audiss would be happy to oblige.

Just as everyone entered the yard, Audiss felt like there was someone behind him, but when he looked back, he didn't see anything.

But then Audiss understood that Bernardette's "Invisible Servant" had followed.

He knew that Bernardette would not miss this opportunity to watch a good show.

Arriving at the door of the meeting room, Audiss kicked the door open.

Gudong ~

The double doors slammed hard against the wall. In the spacious meeting room, more than a dozen members of the Autonomous Council looked at the door in surprise.

When they saw the unfamiliar young man, as well as the officials and soldiers in military uniforms behind him, they were even more surprised, because they had vaguely guessed that this person should be the new Governor.

The reason they were surprised was that they thought it was strange why the guards didn't stop the new Governor? They didn't even report this matter to them?

Sitting at the head, a male elder in his fifties, with some gray hair on his temples, but well-maintained and without any wrinkles on his face, stood up and asked, "You are?"

"Audiss Gahr," Audiss said lightly.

Then he also asked knowingly, "You are?"

"David Darnell."

He is currently the president of the Autonomous Council, Baron Darnell.

Audiss said lightly, "Nice to meet you."

Then he continued, "I heard that you have an important meeting today, so I came to inform you: Because of the Governor's arrival, the mission of the Autonomous Council is over, and it is officially disbanded from today."

"If there are any more such gatherings, they will be defined as illegal gatherings."

Before the members of the Autonomous Council could say anything, Wales and a group of officials had already gasped.

Originally, they thought that the new Governor was just here to show the members of the Autonomous Council his majesty, but he actually wanted to disband the Autonomous Council.

This made their scalps tingle, and they felt that the sky was about to fall.

The members of the Autonomous Council were first surprised, and one of the members smiled and said, "Governor, you may not be very clear about the situation in Vortai State. If there is no Autonomous Council..."

Bang ~

Audiss didn't waste any words, pulled out the "Arrow of Flames" from the gun bag, and shot the member in the head.

Gudong ~

The corpse lay twitching on the conference table, and blood flowed across the table.

Audiss held the gun in one hand and asked the members of the Autonomous Council with some doubt, "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly. What did he just say?"

Wales thought in his heart: If you didn't hear clearly, why did you shoot?
