One-Eyed Monster

At this moment, Kadi was not being held captive by Kuyi Tulan.

Because no matter how you look at it, Kadi was a walking resource, not a prisoner. The attitude toward a resource is evidently different from that toward a prisoner, and this is a lesson learned from the previous unsuccessful attempt with Xiso.

However, this doesn’t mean that Kadi can gain freedom under the watchful eyes of Kuyi Tulan.

Currently, Kadi is still restrained, but within a large range, he can move freely. No matter how hard Kadi tries, he cannot cross the boundary of this range because his abilities are suppressed; even the unsolvable flames on him are completely subdued at this moment.

It must be said that Kuyi Tulan is really skilled to come up with such a method.

The area where Kadi is currently is in the middle of a lake, and in the middle of this lake, there’s a small island where Kadi is now staying.

The island is surrounded by water, and Kadi had never seen such a view before. He had always lived in the mountains and was not familiar with the water-land world. Upon arriving in this water-filled Vero Realm, he was naturally attracted by its unique scenery.

The lake was vast, and the water was crystal clear, allowing Kadi to see various fish swimming around freely. These fish were not afraid of him at all, and seeing him was like seeing an old friend. Occasionally, they would pop up and blow bubbles.

Kadi tried to catch one or two fish but eventually ended up falling into the water…

Sometimes, Kadi also wanted to escape from this island, but after swimming in the cold lake water for a while, he gave up because the lake was too large. Wherever he swam, he would lose his direction; if not for the island’s special glow, he would have lost his way in the vast lake long ago.

This island can emit light that always guides his direction.

The lights come from certain trees on the island, which sleep during the day and glow brightly at night. Sometimes, Kadi even felt that these trees were singing… Regardless, these trees always managed to guide his way, whether it was day or night, always helping him find the island.

Kuyi Tulan trapped Kadi this way, preventing him from using his skills. Even if Kadi had great physical strength, he couldn’t swim away!

This method is indeed somewhat…

Kadi also carefully observed and found only one way to leave the island, which is by boat.

On this island, resources are quite abundant, and given Kadi’s habit of living in the mountains since childhood, survival here poses no issue. So, Kadi tried to make a small boat, but unfortunately, every boat he made sank. Kadi found it strange why his handmade boats couldn’t float…

Kadi pondered day and night over this problem, eager to leave, wanting to help Igor and the others.

Upon suddenly arriving in Vero Realm, Kadi wasn’t surprised at all, as he knew Kuyi Tulan had a Teleportation Spell. However, he was somewhat puzzled that despite having this spell, why didn’t this guy just teleport his army to Kayne’s palace? Wouldn’t that be twice as effective?

It must be said, Kuyi Tulan admired Kadi’s imagination, always bold in his ideas. Although the Teleportation Spell can replace traditional pacing, each teleportation consumes a great deal of energy, and the more people carried, the greater the consumption, also affecting others. Teleporting an army is unsuitable; that’s indisputable, given their enormous size and strong energy consumption.

An army can’t be teleported, but you can teleport a few assassins for stealth kills, appearing suddenly in front of the opponent, perfectly achieving your goals.

That’s how Kadi argued at the time.

But Kuyi Tulan did not scoff at this idea; he did not chuckle sarcastically. Instead, he patiently explained.

Kuyi Tulan never concealed his secrets; he never cared how well others understood them, always speaking openly. He told Kadi that teleportation requires a target object; it’s not possible to teleport anywhere you please. The reason he could teleport to Vero Realm was because the Gaoju Family had his Spirit Power marker.

Back then, Kadi suggested that he could place the marker next to his target, thus enabling unrestricted teleportation.

This thought was bold, but its realization was nearly impossible.

Not to mention the challenge of placing the marker near the opponent, forming the marker itself takes considerable time. The Sol Family’s teleportation marker might be special, but after teleporting, they practically lose their combat capability, needing a long rest. Kuyi Tulan’s spell is slightly better. He can immediately engage in combat after teleportation, though his marker is incredibly complex.

This time, teleporting to Vero Realm, the marker was none other than the palace of the Wensi Empire in Vero Realm…

Making the entire palace his marker requires relentless effort from many subordinates for realization. Without the Gaoju Family’s dedication, such things couldn’t happen…

Just like now, for Kuyi Tulan to visit Kadi, he must get on a boat because there are no markers on this island, and forming many is impossible.

Currently, Kadi swam in the water to pass his boredom, spending most of his time feeling bored on this island, always pondering how to get out, how to contact Igor and them…

Thinking of Igor, Kadi felt that if Igor were here, he would surely find a way to escape the island…

At least, Igor would definitely be able to construct a wooden boat that wouldn’t sink, right…

However, Kadi was not always alone idly on this island.

Occasionally, an Alchemist would come by boat to stay a while, always making him do strange things. These odd tasks followed similar procedures, yet Kadi didn’t mind them too much…

This Alchemist was naturally Milo, sent by Kuyi Tulan to research Kadi’s potential.
