Versatile Mage

amiliar with the special species than the military!

True masters were indeed found among ordinary folks.

The whole world was terrified after the incident in Luning County was reported, but these villagers already had their own way of dealing with the Dragon King Krill.

“Why are these villagers catching the Dragon King Krill? Don’t tell me they are breeding them!”

“So these villagers are up to no good.
We’ll report them to the military so they can send soldiers here to arrest them!”

Zhang Xiaohou frowned.
He rolled his eyes at the two young soldiers who were talking and said, “Don’t come to a conclusion so easily before we find out the truth!”

“General, what should we do next?” Tian Cheng said.

“Keep watching them and find out why they are catching the Dragon King Krill,” Zhang Xiaohou ordered.

“Affirmative!”

Zhang Xiaohou was full of doubts when he went back to the old man’s house.

The peninsula was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The old man told him the factories had been buying salt from the villages for many years, meaning they had been catching the Dragon King Krill for quite some time.

The Dragon King Krill had reproduced in plague proportions, and were now threatening the safety of the country’s coastline.
Zhang Xiaohou had no idea if the villages were responsible for it.

The villages seemed normal.
Were they unaware of how dangerous the Dragon King Krill were, or did they really have something to do with the threat posed by the Dragon King Krill?

Hua Yuezhu was waiting in the room, quite bored.
Her eyes glittered as soon as she saw Zhang Xiaohou, and she greeted him with a smile.

“General, I just learned something interesting.
You won’t believe why the factories are collecting the salt,” Hua Yuezhu blurted out in joy.

“They are catching the Dragon King Krill,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

Hua Yuezhu gaped at him.
Her rare reaction was rather amusing.

Zhang Xiaohou told Hua Yuezhu everything he had seen.

“I see, but I know why they are catching the Dragon King Krill,” Hua Yuezhu regained her smile.

“Where did you learn that from?” Zhang Xiaohou asked curiously.

“I stumbled into the old man’s son as he was sewing a silver fishing net when I went downstairs to get some water.
He’s much more simple-minded than his father.
I was able to trick him and get some useful information out of him,” Hua Yuezhu said.

“Are you sure you didn’t do anything else?”

“Of course not!”

Zhang Xiaohou could only smile wryly.

He was making steady progress incrementally uncovering the peninsula’s secrets, but Hua Yuezhu had beaten him to it by just abusing her beauty.

“He told me the things they are catching are rich in Sea Silver Granules.
These Sea Silver Granules are even smaller than Sponge Granules.
They can refine the Sea Silver Granules into Deep Sea Scorched Silver, which is several times more valuable than diamonds on the market.
The whole Salt Flower Peninsula is making a fortune from it! They might be living on this island, but many of them own big houses in the cities!” Hua Yuezhu informed him.

Zhang Xiaohou considered her words soberly.

He had no idea if the old man’s son was telling the truth.
He would have to wait for his men to finish their investigation.

He just hoped everything was as simple as it sounded.
Otherwise, this peninsula might be the culprit placing the whole country in danger!
