The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 525: Regina Garza

While Vivian had some exciting ideas about Minos, Eduard was currently in a mountain town in the central region of the Kingdom of the Waves.

That was a large city, marked by the presence of a particular type of poisonous flower in the vicinity and a style of construction specialized in irregular terrains, such as the one in this region.

While this great metropolis "lived" another day, with people going about their business, that Spiritual King was in front of a specific establishment right now.

Eduard had traveled with Ruth's great eagle for nearly three weeks until he finally reached Allamanda this morning. And as White was a flying beast and at the 5th stage, these two had traveled quickly and smoothly on their way here.

Finally, as a person in a hurry to settle his affairs and return as quickly as possible to the Spatial Kingdom, Eduard had not wasted time on useless things after arriving in this city. Instead, he had just left White at a particular location for beasts the size of that eagle and then started his search for Regina.

Minos had told him exactly the name of the place he was supposed to look in this city to find that poison master. And knowing that, it didn't take him long to get there after hiring a local carriage service.

Anyway, right now, he was in front of the establishment where Regina would typically attend in this city, her house, in a noble part of this great town.

That place had a fence made out of tens of thousands of flowers, which was extremely beautiful, causing this Spiritual King to feel strangely bad.

'Why am I surprised? Here is the home of a powerful poison master! It's not uncommon for people like that to live around poison…' He thought to himself as he felt a shiver down his back.

Gulp!

'I better not touch anything in this place!'

After that, he quickly tried to probe that place to find out if there was anyone there. However, in doing so, he immediately felt his spiritual probing fail as he came into contact with a barrier.

'A defensive barrier raised by a medium-level grade-2 array... She is wealthy!'

After realizing that it was useless to try to find out in such a way if Regina was there, he approached what appeared to be the entrance to that property. He then heard a female voice coming from that place. "Who are you? Are you here looking for trouble or business?"

Hearing this, Eduard turned his face in the direction where that voice had come from until he saw a person dressed in a black hood, standing behind the bars of a gate that combined with that fence made of flowers.

"My name is Eduard, and I'm here for business!" He replied sincerely, right after making eye contact with that woman, who had utterly white eyes.

She looked Eduard up and down as if she was judging the figure of this man and then smiled. "So, Eduard, what kind of business do you intend to do here?"

"I would like to meet Ms. Regina Garza. I have an offer that I believe will be of her interest." He then paused briefly and then asked. "Is she here?"

"Yes... But I have to ask you to hand over all your weapons and also your spatial ring. That is, in case you wanted to enter here." She said this in a soft tone but with a particular provocation in it.

Eduard had already reached the level where people like this woman would be careful. Therefore, such a person responsible for the security of this house would not let someone that strong enter this property armed.

That's because, even if he had technique not dependent on weapons, if he tried to launch an attack, such a thing could be more or less detected in advance by the people in that place. Hence, these individuals had ways to act before something terrible happened.

But a hidden weapon had a dangerous potential in the hands of a professional assassin. Such items were much quicker to use than spiritual techniques, and even without the aid of spiritual energy, an attack with a good weapon could still seriously injure a cultivator's body.

And as a woman with a long history, the poison master of this place had made many enemies along her journey, to the point where she had to be careful!

Hearing this, Eduard hesitated for a short moment, but then he nodded his head in agreement.

After delivering his items, he received permission to enter that area protected by that barrier, having been scrutinized by that woman from before until she asked him to accompany her.

"Are you people that careful always? My boss came here a few months ago, but he didn't tell me about this kind of situation." Eduard commented as he walked right behind that woman, following a stone path to a large house there.

"Well, your master shouldn't be strong, so the treatment is different, hehe." She said, not caring too much about it.

After this brief exchange of words between the two, they finally entered a part of that house that looked like an office, where people would usually go for medical treatments.

In that place, there was a reception with some luxurious armchairs and some rooms with big glass walls. There, Eduard could see stretchers and some instruments specially used by poison masters.

Other than that, another room on the opposite side looked like an ordinary office, where a woman sat in a chair behind a desk. She had long purple hair, and the little of her skin that Eduard could see was completely white, with no imperfections.

"Regina, there's someone here to talk business with you." That white-eyed woman quickly informed that poison master in that room as she looked at Eduard, watching him intently.

Hearing this, Regina took her attention away from what she was doing and then turned her face to the glass wall of her office until she saw Eduard. 'Oh? Such a young Spiritual King…' She admired him for a moment, noticing the level 51 of that Black Plain Army Lieutenant.

She then waved her hand in that man's direction, indicating for him to enter that office.

Seeing this, Eduard promptly followed the command of that woman. At the same time, he watched her intently. 'This poison master truly is a goddess!' He thought to himself, noticing how much prettier she got every moment he stared at her.

Gulp!

'That... I think Mr. Minos is not only interested in her professional services!' He concluded, realizing that any man would be interested in such beauty. As such, he soon tried to suppress his wilder side to avoid getting in his boss's plan...

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Regina Garza. This one is called Eduard." So, he formally said as he sat down in an armchair opposite that woman, trying not to touch anything.

"Hmm, nice to meet you, young man." She watched him closely, noticing the discreet way Eduard behaved in her presence. Regina then smiled and said. "So, you're here for business, huh? What kind of business are we talking about? Spiritual techniques or poison treatment?"

"Poison treatment. A few weeks ago, one of the members of the force I am part of was seriously injured, and the doctor who is treating her requested the service of a poison master." Eduard said sincerely.

"Oh? This person's situation must not be good... But she must be important to your organization, huh? Do you know how expensive my services are?"

"We are aware of this."

"Hehe, it looks like such a person must be an important noble... Which family do you come from? I have some background, so I need to know that before we go any further."

"In fact..."
