Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Castle of Gods, a huge meeting was called. It was filled with high-level Castle Lords.

These Castle Lords had just been gathered by the Alliance leader. They were all guessing what the Alliance leader was going to do next.

The Alliance of Gods had just found some traitors within the Alliance.

The granddaughter of the Alliance leader, Miss Beta, used her illusion skills to find 25 traitors. These Castle Lords were immediately forcefully killed by the Alliance leader.

This had a deterrent effect. Therefore, the other Castle Lords of the Alliance of Gods were very obedient and loyal to the Alliance leader. Otherwise, their lives would be lost.

Very soon, the Alliance leader appeared in the hall. Behind the leader was Beta, who looked like a porcelain doll.

Even though Miss Beta had the appearance of an angel, in the eyes of these Castle Lords, she was more like a terrifying demon.

She was able to casually enter the dreams of Castle Lords, and by search their dreams, she could their most hidden secrets. This innate ability was definitely the most unique in this Otherworld continent.

The Alliance leader began to speak.

“Castle Lords, I bring exciting news!”

The leader glanced at the Castle Lords before continuing.

“You may not know this, but the messengers sent by the Alliance of Gods discovered a very strange thing at the edge of the Misty Forest!”

“I think you’ve all heard of the gnome race! Just like us humans who entered the Otherworld, many humans were randomly assigned to the underground world and became a member of the gnome race!”

“The messengers saw traces of the gnome race at the edge of the Misty Forest!”

“Then, the messengers followed those gnome dwarves and discovered that they had actually gathered a huge army of mechanical devices and were heading towards the Misty Forest!”

When the Alliance leader said this, the Castle Lords all showed terrified expressions. They knew that the gnome dwarves were very powerful soldiers who could control powerful mechanical devices.

The Alliance of Gods would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the mechanical devices. They were terrified.

The Alliance leader raised his arm, signaling everyone not to panic. What he was about to say next was definitely a great piece of good news for the Castle Lords in the Alliance of Gods.

“Don’t panic. Listen to what I have to say. After the messenger’s investigation, we know that those gnome dwarves are not attacking the Castle Lords of the Alliance of Gods, but to attack the Dragon Castle!”

After the Alliance Leader finished his words, all the Castle Lords were shocked.

“What! Those gnomes are attacking the Dragon Castle?”

“Hahaha, this is good news for our Alliance!”

“Don’t be happy too early. Why are those gnomes attacking the Dragon Castle? Will they carry on to attack our Alliance’s castle after they’re done?”

After the last Castle Lord asked this question, he received an appreciative look from the Alliance leader.

“That’s right. What you’re worried about is exactly what I need to consider next!”

The Alliance leader took out a map of the Misty Forest from his hand and asked the butler to lay the map flat on the huge table.

Thus, the entire region of the Misty Forest was displayed to the Castle Lords.

“Look, most of the area of the Misty Forest is occupied by the castles of the members of the Alliance of Gods, while the Dragon Castle only occupies a small portion. If those gnome dwarves wanted to plunder resources and manpower, why would they attack the Dragon Castle that occupies a small area?”

The Castle Lords present were not stupid. After thinking for a while, they understood what the Alliance leader meant.

One of the high-ranked castle lords stood up and answered the Alliance leader’s question.

“I guess those gnome dwarves must have been invited by some force or had been offered some extremely attractive reward in exchange to attack the Dragon Castle!”

The Alliance leader looked at the high-ranked Castle Lord who was brave enough to speak with admiration.

“You’re right. After a detailed investigation, I found traces of magi on the gnome dwarves!”

At the mention of magi, the Castle Lords all had unnatural expressions. Magi had a bad reputation in the entire Otherworld. Magi was synonymous with death and fear.

This was a fact that could not be erased from the entire Otherworld.

The Castle Lords also recalled that the Alliance leader had previously demonstrated the function of the Magic Mirror. After all, the Magic Mirror was an evil thing that was usually used by magi.

Could it be that the Alliance leader had mastered the abilities of the magi? Could it be that some magi had reached some kind of agreement with the Alliance leader that they did not know about?

The Castle Lords were secretly guessing about what was happening behind the scenes. However, they caught of glance of Miss Beta, and they immediately stopped thinking.

They did not forget that Beta could easily enter their dreams. If the leader knew what they were thinking, the consequences would be terrible.

The Alliance leader could actually see that some of the Castle Lords had already started to think about the Magic Mirror. Whether it was the Castle Lords or the Alliance leader himself, the three magi they had taken in had also begun to secretly monitor them.

The reason was very simple. The Alliance leader had no way of knowing what the three magi were thinking. He had considered asking Beta to investigate the three magi’s dreams.

Unfortunately, Beta said that she could not do it dream because the magi’s spiritual power was very strong. It was far stronger compared to Beta’s.

The Alliance leader could only arrange for small soldiers to hide under the rooms of the three magi and eavesdrop on their conversations.

However, what the Alliance leader did not know was that when there were no outsiders present, the three magi could communicate with each other without using any language. They could use powerful spiritual power to communicate with each other.

Moreover, the three magi also knew that the Alliance leader would not trust them, so they secretly contacted the gnome dwarves.

As for why they attacked the Dragon Castle instead of the Castle of Gods, the reason was simple. The magi wanted to obtain a specimen of a dragon. This was extremely important to the three magi.

The dragon’s corpse could allow the three magi to advance to the heaven-tier.. That would allow them to become the legendary Magi God.
