Chapter 431 - Chapter 431 The Meadow (2/2)

“I’ll rest for a while, remember to call me when we get there,” he said.

Jin Lingsu’s face showed helpless resignation, but she didn’t say much and started the car smoothly.

The thirty-five-kilometer journey took Jin Lingsu a whole hour, indicating how slow she was driving.

When they neared the edge of a meadow, she stopped the car.

This place could truly be called a paradise, with herds of cattle and sheep bustling around and a large number of herdsmen grazing peacefully.

Every few steps, one could see a yurt, and in the very center of all the yurts was a massive tent.

Numerous guards armed with weapons stood watch at the entrance to the tent.

Jin Lingsu dared not make any rash moves, so she just turned her head and looked at Chen Yu helplessly.

Just then, a large group of guards suddenly surrounded them.

“Who are you? Who let you drive up here? Get out of here now,” they demanded.

Jin Lingsu frowned involuntarily; Chen Yu was still asleep, and she didn’t know how to handle the situation.

With no other choice, she took a short sword and a wizard’s jade token from Chen Yu’s arms.

“We are here on orders to discuss the candidacy for the next Elder of the Mountain! This is the short sword symbolizing authority, and I would like to meet the wizard of this place,” she said.

Upon seeing these two items and hearing her claim, the rear guard immediately became excited.

They led the car to a location near the large tent.

Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in very peculiar attire hurried out of the tent.

“Where is the jade token?” he asked.

Jin Lingsu stepped out of the car and handed over the jade token directly.

“Wizard of Black Hat Mountain, we were instructed to come straight to you upon our arrival,” she said.

The middle-aged man examined the jade token for a long time, trembling with excitement.

“After so many years, at last, the wizards of Lakato Family can unify,” he said.

Jin Lingsu’s head was filled with question marks as she hadn’t expected that a mere jade token could make the other party so thoroughly convinced.

“We encountered some accidents while crossing the desert, and my friend has fainted from dehydration. Could you please treat him first?” she asked.

The middle-aged man didn’t hesitate, immediately calling over several strong men to carry Chen Yu into a small house next to the tent.

“Your timing is truly unfortunate, Lord Kadoge and some of the clan members have gone out hunting and won’t be back for five days. You’ll have to stay here and wait in the meantime,” he said.

Jin Lingsu didn’t have much more to say and simply sat down on the side.

The middle-aged man took a blood-red jade token from his person and stuffed it into Jin Lingsu’s hand.

“This is my identity token in this place. With it, you can move around freely without any hindrance,” he said.

Jin Lingsu was somewhat surprised, as she really hadn’t expected such treatment in this place.

Speaking of which, her purpose for coming here was to completely eradicate this power.

Yet the wizard’s warm attitude made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

While they were talking, Chen Yu lethargically turned over.

He had exhausted himself too much earlier, and his body was at the peak of weakness.

Just as he sat up, his stomach made a rumbling noise.

The wizard nearby didn’t miss a beat, immediately having a large amount of food brought in.
