Chapter 1348: 1268, Simon Herag Chapter 1348: 1268, Simon Herag Seeing Su Yu put on the bracelet, the “Slime Guard” sighed with relief.
Collaborative outsiders like the one before them were rare, as most resisted wearing bracelets and proved difficult to handle.
Su Yu obediently wore the bracelet, completing at least half of its task.
“Forgive me, outsider,” the tone of the “Slime Guard” became much friendlier.
It explained, “We didn't use to screen outsiders, but now is a special period, and I hope you can understand.”
“It's okay, I understand,” Su Yu nodded.
“Good, now please follow me to another room,” the “Slime Guard” led the way, guiding him beyond the room, “I will take you to another place. After a brief interrogation, you will be able to leave and head to the outside world smoothly.”
“Alright,” Su Yu kept his expression unchanged as he followed the “Slime Guard” out of the room.
Outside the room was an extremely narrow corridor.
The corridor was just over two meters in height and about a meter in width, so even someone with Su Yu's stature felt it was very cramped.
If Su Yu found it cramped, then the “Slime Guard” did not need to speak of its discomfort.
Given the “Slime Guard's” massive size, it would definitely not be able to pass through the corridor in its original form. Although it was about the same height as Su Yu, it was much thicker.
However, the “Slime Guard” seemed to have another method.
After a brief spellcasting, it dissolved into a puddle of liquid, flowing forward through the corridor like sewage, which amazed Su Yu and at the same time disgusted him.
Because the appearance of this puddle was indeed nauseating.
The corridor was pitch-black with no openings on the walls, which meant no light penetrated.
However, as the “Slime Guard” moved along, Su Yu could vaguely sense that the corridor was temporarily constructed.
The ground of the corridor was still made of ice, but the walls and ceiling seemed to be made of thin steel sheets erected on the fly. When the “Slime Guard” collided with them, there was the sound of liquid hitting metal.
Su Yu reached out and felt the wall; it was indeed like thin steel sheeting.
Since it was thin steel sheet, it was likely that the corridor was built temporarily and hastily.
The question was, who was the mysterious manager behind this? It should be the city guard, right?
Su Yu calmly observed his surroundings as he walked slowly forward.
After walking down the corridor for about 5 minutes, the “Slime Guard” led Su Yu into another room.
This room was similar to the first one he had been transported to, also without windows, lit only by light strips on the ceiling, even the color and size of the light strips were the same.
But unlike the previous room, this one was much larger, about three times the size of the first room.
Moreover, there were other creatures in this room!
There were two other beings in the room, one from the blue-skinned Holy Silver Human Race and the other a lizard-like creature.
Upon Su Yu's arrival, they both scrutinized the newcomer with evaluative gazes.
However, like Su Yu, they also wore “High-Energy Restraint Bracelets” on their wrists.
This indicated that they were not there to interrogate Su Yu, but were outsiders just like him.
“You should just wait here,” the “Slime Guard” politely said to Su Yu, “The person in charge will take the initiative to meet with you later, and after the meeting, you can…”
Before the “Slime Guard” could finish speaking, a rough voice interrupted it.
The voice came from the Holy Silver Man, who glared angrily at the “Slime Guard” and said, “I am a local resident of Feige, having lived in the Hub for over a thousand years! How come I've never heard about having to check identity upon returning? And it's taking so long, aren't you just stringing me along?”
At the same time, the angry Holy Silver Man also released his own aura to reinforce his stance, with the majestic presence of a sixth-order peak bearing down on the “Slime Guard.”
Seeing this power, Su Yu was slightly taken aback.
Wearing a bracelet and still being able to release the aura of a sixth-order peak, this Holy Silver Man's strength was probably similar to his own, both around the God Level peak.
Confronted with the overwhelming presence, the “Slime Guard” was startled.
It said in a panic, “I've already explained to you, it's a special period, and we can't help but do this! There has just been a major disturbance within the Hub and it has only just been settled…”
“Disturbance? What disturbance?” Suddenly, the Holy Silver Man withdrew his aura completely clean, and his expression returned to normal as well. Clearly, he had just been trying to elicit information from the “Slime Guard.”
“Ah! I can't say,” realizing that he had been tricked into speaking, the “Slime Guard” quickly shut its mouth.
“What can't you say? Look, you've already spilled some beans, why not finish what you're saying?”
“Right,” added the lizard creature, “sooner or later we're all going out, and we're sure to find out immediately, what can't you say now?”
But to their surprise, the “Slime Guard” was resolute, “I just can't say.”
It appeared simple-minded, but in truth, it was not simple-minded at all.
“Please wait here, the person in charge will contact everyone soon.”
After saying this, the “Slime Guard” ran out of the room without looking back, leaving Su Yu and the other two exchanging glances.
After the “Slime Guard” walked out, only Su Yu and the other two remained in the room. There was nothing else, not even a chair.
The three of them looked each other over.
The creature that resembled a lizard was not of a high order, at just a glance, Su Yu assessed it as a seventh-order being.
As for how Su Yu judged this, one could only say–it was intuition.
However, Su Yu's intuition was usually quite accurate; after all, he'd experienced too much.
As for the Holy Silver Man, he was definitely a bona fide eighth-order peak.
The Holy Silver Man wore an elegant yellow-green robe and a brown high-crowned hat studded with a dozen precious gems, clearly a spellcaster.
Su Yu scrutinized the Holy Silver Man, who was also looking him over.
Although Su Yu had not shown his own strength, his silver robe was clearly a top-tier item among God Level equipment, which not many even with over a thousand years of experience had seen.
Thus, the Holy Silver Man could ascertain right away that Su Yu was also a God Level peak existence, and one of the prominent figures at that level!
Since their strengths were comparable, the two naturally ignored the lizard creature and naturally started chatting.
“Hello, I am Simon Herag, a resident of the Fige Hub,” the Holy Silver Man greeted first and performed a Holy Silver Human greeting toward Su Yu.
Su Yu quickly returned the gesture and introduced himself as well, “I'm Su Yu, from an indigenous civilization.”
“Indigenous civilization… but I can see that you're also of the Human Race, right?”
“Of course, the only difference we have is in skin color.”
