Chapter 3761 Using The Wesley Family's Intelligence
Despite the weird situation, Clara remained calm.
"Since we have the Town Lord's word, I presume we won't be encountering any hindrances to our quest. Commander Dalun, bring me information related to this region and the entire continent. I want to see how many places and beings are worthy of my attention."
"As you wish, my Lord."
Commander Dalun cupped his hands and bowed.
"Please wait a few minutes."
He took out a messaging talisman and began instructing some people.
Yilla and the others remained silent.
Having Clara in their group was really helpful. Perhaps they don't need to do anything else other than follow her.
They even had Zanqua come since they could use her in case they needed to steal something. After all, Zanqua was an expert at banditry. But now, it seemed like they would get all the information necessary to locate their big sisters.
Quickly, a few people stood at the entrance and handed over some jade slips to the maids.
These jade slips held information in them.
The maids handed over the jade slips to Clara as they kept them on the table. Clara reached out her hand and began looking through it before turning to look at the others.
"What are you doing? Look through and find out if there is anything strange occurring in these lands. Perhaps that's where those evil Divergents would appear."
"Yes~"
Lanqua replied passionately and also took one jade slip.
Following her, the others also nodded, and they began to look through. On the other hand, Zanqua almost had the urge to roll her eyes. She might be a bandit, but this family was even more of a bandit group than her.
They were all shameless.
Nonetheless, she also looked through, hoping to find some information that might be of benefit to them.
Clara's gaze flashed with a purple light before she returned her gaze to the jade slip.
As an Empress who once ruled the Loret Empire, Clara knew that historians in any kind of settlement, whether it be towns or cities, would always record information about the events, influential people, powerful people, and many more anomalies.
She had looked through it a lot to know the ongoings of a kingdom and its circumstances so she could meet punishments and rewards accordingly. Of course, she had also encountered falsehoods, but her intuition as the owner of her Transcendent Truth Eyes always made her doubt the reality of the situation.
Then again, she may be fooled, but the ultimate ability of the Transcendent Truth Eyes could not be fooled. It didn't have perspectives. It only had the truth.
When she heard about Divine Techniques, she felt this ultimate ability to know reality was like her physique's own Divine Technique.
She had grown too powerful from then, so her ability to see the truth of the matter had also exponentially increased. It wasn't like truth had any dynamic to it, but the reality of a situation was always karmically bound to the nature and the people involved, so if there were more powerful people than her or involves huge karma in the case a danger influenced the world enough to end a realm, then she would find it difficult to see through the crux of the matter.
Nonetheless, the jade slips she read all contained low-level information, allowing her to intuitively determine what was the full truth and what was half-truth or completely false.
However, activating the Transcendent Truth Eyes also drained her a lot. It wouldn't drain much usually, but considering the height of the information she was going through, it took a deep tool on her psyche.
Even then, she completed reading through all seventy jade slips within an hour.
At this time, the maids brought the Town Lord away, but Commander Dalun patiently waited for them to read through.
It seemed like he had nothing to do, and Clara wasn't bothered either. In fact, he displayed signs of reverence when he saw Clara radiate the same eyes as Heaven's Warrior Elluro Coldwing apparently displayed.
Their eyes glowed in the shade of purple.
He was shocked to know that this woman in front of him could also be a Heaven's Warrior of the highest order.
Still, his expression occasionally went doubtful as he found this situation quite strange.
How come he didn't see this Heaven's Warrior appear from space, considering there was a formation that detects spatial intruders in the town? Then again, this group appeared from the west, the Great Desolate Plains.
So he guessed they came from further west from the magical beast wildlands.
However, was this group powerful enough to survive the feral beasts there? He knew the three great beasts of the Great Desolate Plains would hunt them down before they could leave. However, there was no sign of a chase either.
'Could it be that those mindless beasts are also worshipful to the Heaven's Warriors…?'
Commander Dalun wondered but then lightly shook his head. 'How can that be? If that was the case, then there wouldn't be a need for beast tamers to control them…'
"Commander Dalun,"
Clara kept the last jade slip down and looked up suddenly, causing Commander Dalun to flinch as he came out of his reverie.
"Yes, you're Highness!" his form of address changed, putting her on the level of a queen or an empress.
"There's a matter here that says that you sent a thousand Immortal Kings to retrieve the Flamerogue Poison Scorpion's venom. However, no one managed to return."
Clara's eyes were narrowed, but a deep chill emanated from her gaze," What is this about? Are you sacrificing innocent lives?"
"No! Your Highness, that's a misunderstanding."
Commander Dalun hurriedly said, "The Town Lord's wife was poisoned, so he needed the Flamerogue Poison Scorpion's venom to counteract the poison as instructed by the apothecaries and poison apothecaries. The Town Lord posted a hefty bounty for it, even heading there himself as he faced the Flamerogue Poison Scorpion. However, halfway through the battle, he received news that his wife was on her deathbed, and with the Flamerogue Poison Scorpion being too powerful, he was forced to return."
"But after disengaging, the Radiant Metaldaze Desert Ant's colonies and the Hundred Emerald Spike Sandworm's colony ambushed the Immortal Kings and killed them all."
"I see."
Clara nodded, but her eyes shone with a purple light.
"You dare try mixing lies within the truth?"
"…!"
Commander Dalun shuddered heavily.
At that moment, all kinds of doubts he had with him about this group evaporated.
The Heaven's Warrior in front of him was genuine. Otherwise, there was no way she would be able to find that he was only giving half-truths.
"Your Highness. I, Dalun, sincerely apologize. I do not intend to deceive you but remain loyal to the Wesley Family."
"Let me hear first, and I'll decide."
Clara's voice was sharp and cold. Yilla and the others felt like they definitely didn't want to be in front of her. They didn't imagine Davis's little sister would be the exact opposite of him if she wasn't with him.
Commander Dalun sighed, "The Town Lord's wife is still alive."
"What?"
Clara's eyes widened. Then what were all the drunken episodes for? Was that all acting? She didn't perceive such deception, though, making her feel confused.
Her intuition could tell her if something was strange or if it didn't make sense, but it certainly could let her know the truth, as the unique ability of the Transcendent Truth Eyes would.
