The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 389: Closer to the Truth?

After getting to know a little more about the reality of the Kingdom of the Waves, precisely the particularities of Allamanda, Minos and Abby had woken up very early and went to a specific place in this city.

The two had obtained information from the hotel where they were staying as to the best place to find organizations willing to sell their spiritual techniques. And to their surprise, instead of a guild or school focused on one profession, they had been nominated to a specific person.

As far as they understood, a powerful poison master of this town was the best source of spiritual techniques, even more so than the Allamanda Flower, the local poison masters' school.

From what was passed on to them in that hotel, this woman was a cultivator outside the poison masters' school and could be considered one of the most powerful in the region. Because of this, even the renowned Allamanda Flower couldn't compare to this woman when it came to spiritual techniques.

But certain rumors were going around locally that said that this woman had actually killed many other poison masters... And precisely because of that, she had made it to the top.

So, the people at that hotel had recommended caution to Minos and Abby.

But these two hadn't been so worried about it. After all, what mighty cultivator wouldn't kill thousands to reach the top?

Such a thing was ordinary, and people like that managed the Spiritual World!

Because of this, such information hadn't stopped Minos. And, on the other hand, he would always have a way to escape with Abby to the Spatial Kingdom, so he didn't fear a poison master.

Despite not being as helpless as doctors, such professionals would still have many limitations if they had to fight warriors. That's because their bodies were naturally much more fragile, and several of their characteristics limited them a lot.

Therefore, Minos felt prepared to deal with any situation when he met someone like the woman in question. As long as they were careful not to breathe strange substances, touch or taste things inside that woman's store, then they would be safe.

On the other hand, the two just wanted to do business, so the chances of something happening wouldn't be too great. After all, if a poison master killed her clients, how would she survive?

And as expected, nothing unusual had happened when Minos and Abby visited this person.

She was called Regina Garza, level 57, a high-level grade-2 poison master.

However, contrary to their expectations, the couple had met a stunning woman with purple eyes and hair, as well as a well-developed body.

Regina didn't look any older than Mia, despite the fact that she was over a thousand years old, as she had said to the two of them when Minos and Abby gaped at her beauty.

But Minos soon understood why. After all, this woman had succeeded in administering the poison doses that her training required. Because of that, her appearance was even more beautiful than it should have been, considering her level and age.

As for Abby, she had been tempted to have a treatment session with that poison master to eliminate some of the impurities from her own body. But after hearing that she would have to pay a thousand medium-grade crystals for just one week of treatment, Minos' young friend had buried that idea in her mind.

Not even Minos could pay such a sum for a single one-week treatment!

He even had the crystals, but considering how much he needed to invest in his city, army, and himself, Minos couldn't hire such a service. It would be a waste of resources to do such a thing in their situation!

After doing business with the beautiful Regina, Minos was almost tempted to invite her to the Black Plain. Still, he held those thoughts in his mind. Maybe he would still try something like this in the future, but it would be too dangerous for him to do such a thing now.

This woman had been very friendly to him and Abby, but only because the two of them were just customers, not much to offer her.

Regina hadn't even been surprised to make a deal of 150,000 low-grade crystals and 800 medium-grade ones. After all, such values ??would only pay for her services for a week... In contrast, this woman attended to nobles from various kingdoms in this region, constantly...

But if she knew Minos had the resources to make her go beyond level 59, then this woman could have had dangerous thoughts. And even though Minos could run away to the Spatial Kingdom with Abby, he didn't want to do it just because of something he didn't need right now.

The copies of poison master techniques he had bought from Regina had great value for the Black Plain. But having this woman in his force was something that, while good, would be somewhat unnecessary in the short term.

Therefore, Minos had decided to invite this woman to the Dry City in the future when he reached level 50. From that point on, even though she was already at level 57, as Regina was not a fighter, the young ruler of the Black Plain would easily defeat such a woman.

And after that meeting, the young couple had resolved a few more issues in the city of Allamanda until they left, heading for the capital of the Kingdom of the Waves.

Such a place was not far away, but this would still be a journey of more than two weeks!

...

While Minos traveled through the Kingdom of the Waves, Christian Reid was still in the Brown Kingdom, looking for the people involved in the competition for that Warrior-grade medicine at the Peak of the Fog.

After several weeks of investigation, he and his two subordinates had managed to uncover some information, which had led them to a small local family.

Such power had sent a young man to the Spiritual Tournament, and that person was precisely one of those involved in the Peak of the Fog incident.

And with that information in hand, Christian had run until arrived at the north of the Brown Kingdom, where this small family was located, in the mountainous regions of this state.

This location was close to the border with Kingdom of the Waves, where a section of the Endless Snow Mountain Range divided three nearby states, including that one, the Brown Kingdom, and a state located outside this region of the Central Continent.

But apart from the uneven terrain, there was nothing extraordinary about this region on the Brown Kingdom.

The spiritual concentration was average for the region, there was a large population, and the main specialization of ??this small region was the forge.

Anyway, the three men from the Reid family were now in front of a well-built and decent-sized property in a part of the largest city of that region. That was where that person's family was established, where this group hoped to find answers to their questions.

And it wasn't long before a person capable of answering the questions of these three arrived and greeted them.

This family was not a noble power and only had good resources to nurture a single youth for each Spiritual Tournament. And because of that, the people in this organization knew very well that being friendly to people like Christian was the best for them.

With that, it didn't take long, and that person had listened to Christian's entire explanation of the subject and who they were looking for.

The man, who looked to be in his 30s and dressed like a lumberjack, then handed the images back to Christian and said. "Ehh, hmm, I understand what the problem is. I'm sorry about your loss. Losing a younger brother is not an easy thing. I lost mine a few years ago..."

"But anyway, life goes on... However, this young man in the third photo you showed truly came from our family." He sincerely said as he looked at the three men in front of him.

"Oh? That's nice! It's the first clue we've had in months!" One of Christian's subordinates said in satisfaction.

"And where is he? Call him here, and we'll give a reward to your family if he tells us what we want!" Christian said as he smiled.

"About this..."
