Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2753 Let Him Have His Way

Damn it!

Alp was livid. "So you've been a spy since you were ten. No wonder Camp South Master knew so many secrets of Centuria's district so quickly. It's because you're the spy!"

Just as Alp was about to strike Maulwurf, Scar Face stopped him.

Are you serious? How could you interfere with Commander Williams' interrogation?

Zeke continued asking, "Then what about the spirit pill? Did Camp South Master give that to you?"

Maulwurf nodded. "Yes, Camp South Master gave that to me. This spirit pill can support a person's cultivation, and if I refine it, I can become a Legatus."

As he spoke, he was raking his gaze across the area in search of the spirit pill.

He was hoping that Zeke would return the pill to him if he were to confess everything.

Alas, he could not find it anywhere. He guessed it must have been refined by Zeke, so he was disappointed.

Zeke went on with his questions. "What other uses does this pill have other than provide support during cultivation? For example, will it be able to kindle the fire seed?"

Maulwurf shook his head. "I don't know about its other uses. As for kindling the fire seed... I've never heard of fire seed."

"Where did this spirit pill come from? Is it manmade, or was it created naturally?"

Maulwurf replied, "This spirit pill is actually the Core of primordial beasts. It's extremely hard to get your hands on a spirit pill like this. I... had to work for Camp South Master for years to get one of these. Scar Face, Alp, and the others don't even know it exists because it's so precious."

"From a Core of a primordial beast?" Zeke muttered. "In other words, as long as I kill a primordial beast, I'll be able to get a spirit pill?"

Once I get a Core, I'll be able to get Fortuna to kindle the fire seed and create a divine weapon. With the divine weapon, I'll be able to cut through space and time to save Lacey.

Zeke was sure that he was getting closer and closer to the rescue of Lacey.

Maulwurf said, "Theoretically, yes, but primordial beasts aren't that easy to kill. Not even the Camp Masters of Camp North and Camp South could kill the primordial beasts. I'm guessing that the Camp Masters of Camp North and Camp South picked these spirit pills up after the primordial beasts died from natural causes."

"Oh? How strong are primordial beasts if you compare them to Theos?"

Maulwurf mulled over it for a moment before answering, "I'm not sure. Theos has never fought with a primordial beast. However, I'm sure they're about the same power because the humans on Theos Island are under Theos while the primordial beasts rule over the beasts on Theos Island."

Zeke nodded. "Okay, I got it. One more thing, Centuria has gained many Heavenly Spirit Stones lately. Is this the work of Camp South Master?"

Maulwurf inclined his head. "That's right."

"What is Camp South Master trying to do?"

"Beasts are inclined to seek out Spirit Stones, so Camp South Master is trying to lure them here with those Spirit Stones."

"Camp South Master should realize that the beasts are of no threat to me. Aren't his actions childish, then?"

Maulwurf corrected him by saying, "You've misunderstood this, Mr. Williams. Camp South Master lured them here not for them to attack you but for you to kill them."

"Oh? For me to kill them? Why?"

Maulwurf explained, "It's a rule on Theos Island. As long as you kill a thousand beasts, you'll break the rule and wake the primordial beast. The primordial beast will come and attack you. Camp South Master wants you to kill a thousand beasts so that the primordial beast will come after you."

Zeke snorted. "Even if he doesn't lure the primordial beast here, I was going to look for it too. Still, since he's willing to use his Spirit Stones to lure it over to me instead, I'll let him have his way."

How am I supposed to get the spirit pill and fire seed to forge a divine weapon without the primordial beast?
